[Figure 15] Figure 15 is an unfolded view of the display stand for the display box shown in Figure 1. [Figure 16] Figure 15 is a photograph showing the display box in Figure 1 with the contents placed on the display stand. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0023] A display box according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 16. In Figure 1, T represents a display box, which is made of cardboard, for example, and has a roughly rectangular box shape (see Figure 1) 1 with an open front, and a rear-sloping tray 3 inside the box 1 for storing multiple items 2 (see Figure 16).
[0024] The stored object 2 is spherical or curved in shape, and more specifically, it is a capsule toy, a spherical bath bomb, etc. The multiple items to be stored 2 on the mounting platform 3 are not stacked, but are arranged in a single layer. For example, 3 to 4 items to be stored 2 are placed horizontally and 4 to 5 items are placed vertically.
[0025] Furthermore, 35 shown in Figure 1 is a first vertically erected part connected to the mounting base 3. 35A is a first locking portion provided on the first erected portion 35. Furthermore, with the front of the box body 1 fully open, the mounting platform 3 is pulled out towards the front through the opening 1A, and the first locking part 35A is locked to the first locking part 11A provided on the box body 1, thereby restricting the forward movement of the mounting platform 3.
[0026] In other words, according to the display box T of this embodiment, in a box body 1 that is a roughly rectangular parallelepiped with an open front, when the multiple items to be stored 2 on the display stand 3 are in a single layer rather than stacked, the first locking part 35A provided on the first vertically erected part 35 connected to the display stand 3 locks onto the slit-shaped first locking part 11A provided on the box body 1 (for example, in this embodiment the first locking part 11A is provided on the ceiling surface 11, but it may also be provided on the right side surface 14, although it is not shown), thereby restricting the movement of the display stand 3 in the forward direction.
[0027] Therefore, as shown in Figure 16, with the mounting platform 3 pulled out towards the front, the contents 2 are exposed, allowing the buyer to remove the contents 2 from the box 1. When the stored item 2 is removed from the box body 1, the mounting platform 3 is tilted upwards towards the rear, allowing the stored item 2 to move from the rear to the front and be automatically replenished. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 1, since the end of the first upright portion 35 faces the back surface of the ceiling 11 of the box body 1, the vertical movement of the mounting base 3 can be restricted.
[0028] In this embodiment, the first upright portion 35 is provided on the front right of the display box T. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and although not shown, a second upright portion (not shown) may be provided on the front left of the display box T so as to face the first upright portion 35, and a second locking portion (not shown) similar to the first locking portion 35A may be provided on the second upright portion (not shown), and the second locking portion (not shown) may be locked to a second locking portion (not shown) similar to the first locking portion 11A, thereby restricting the forward movement of the display stand 2. Furthermore, just as the end of the first upright portion 35 faces the back surface of the ceiling surface 11 of the box body 1, the end of the second upright portion (not shown) faces the back surface of the ceiling surface 11 of the box body 1, thereby restricting the vertical movement of the mounting base 3. A second erecting portion and a second locking portion, not shown, are provided, for example, in Figure 15 at positions symmetrical to the first erecting portion 35 and the first locking portion 35A, and the second locked portion is provided in Figure 14 at a position symmetrical to the first locked portion 11A, not shown. As a result, the first locking portion 35A provided on the first vertically erected portion 35 connected to the mounting base 3 locks with the first locked portion 11A provided on the box body 1, and the second locking portion (not shown) provided on the second vertically erected portion (not shown) locks with the second locked portion (not shown) provided on the box body, thereby restricting the forward movement of the mounting base 2 on both sides of the mounting base 2. Furthermore, since the ends of the first upright portion 35 and the second upright portion (not shown) face the back surface of the ceiling 11 of the box body 1, the vertical movement of the mounting base 2 can be restricted on both sides of the mounting base 2.
[0029] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 14, 12 is a rectangular separating piece separated from the front of the box body 1, 12A is a third locking part provided on the separating piece 12, and 11B is a third locking part provided on the ceiling surface 11 of the box body 1. By locking the third locking part 12A to the third locking part 11B, the rectangular separating piece 12 can be used as a display body for advertising, promotion, or decoration. In other words, by separating the rectangular separating piece 12 from the front of the box body 1 and using the rectangular separating piece 12 that has been bent in the longitudinal direction, a third locking portion 12A provided on the separating piece 12 can be locked to a third locking portion 11B provided on the ceiling surface 11 of the box body 1, thereby enabling the effective use of the rectangular separating piece 12 separated from the front of the box body 1 as a display object for advertising, promotion, or decoration. Furthermore, when the separation piece 12 is ready for shipment to the user, it is integrated with the box body 1 as shown in Figure 11. The user separates the separation piece 12, folds it in the longitudinal direction, and locks the third locking portion 12A to the third locking portion 11B as shown in Figure 1.
[0030] Furthermore, preferably, as shown in Figure 13, the opening 1A is a rectangle with a length of 95mm to 130mm and a width of 220mm to 330mm, the depth of the box body 1 is 320mm to 400mm, the height of the box body 1 is 95mm to 130mm, and the height of the separation piece 12 from the bottom surface of the box body 1 is 145mm to 180mm. This is to accommodate the user's product sales and to adjust the storage state of the items 2 arranged on the mounting platform 3 so that there are no excessive gaps between the items 2 and the platform.
[0031] Furthermore, in Figure 14, 10 is the bottom surface, 13 is the back surface, 13a is the back connecting piece that connects to the back surface 13, 14 is the right side surface, 14a is the right side connecting piece that connects to one side of the right side surface 14, 14b is the right side connecting piece that connects to the other side of the right side surface 14, 15 is the left side surface, 15a is the left side connecting piece that connects to one side of the left side surface 15, 15b is the left side connecting piece that connects to the other side of the left side surface 15, and 11a is the ceiling surface connecting piece that connects to the ceiling surface 11. Furthermore, Figure 15 shows that 30 is the mounting base body, a left leg portion 32 slopes downward to the front to the left of the mounting base body 30, a right leg portion 33 slopes downward to the front to the right of the mounting base body 30, a front stopper 34 bent in front of the mounting base body 30, a front right stopper 35 on the front right of the mounting base body 30, a front right stopper connecting piece 35a connected to the front right stopper 35, a first locking portion 35A at the tip of the front right stopper 35, a front left stopper 36 on the front left of the mounting base body 30, and a front left stopper connecting piece 36a connected to the front left stopper 36.
[0032] Although not shown in the diagram, the box body 1 can be stacked vertically, so for example, when the rectangular separation piece 12 is not in use as a display body for advertising, promotion, or decoration, it can be compactly configured for transport and storage. In other words, when stacking the boxes 1 vertically, a first' locking portion (not shown, but a slit-shaped opening like the embodiment of the first locking portion 11A) is provided on the bottom surface 10 of the upper box 1 that corresponds to the first locking portion 35A of the lower box 1, allowing the first locking portion 35A to move in and out. As a result, the boxes 1 can be stacked vertically without crushing the tip of the first locking portion 35A, and furthermore, misalignment of the upper and lower boxes 1, 1 can be prevented. Furthermore, when stacking the box bodies 1 vertically, the bottom surface 10 of the upper box body 1, corresponding to the first locking portion 35A of the lower box body 1, has a first' locking portion (not shown, but a slit-shaped opening like the embodiment of the first locking portion 11A) that allows the first locking portion 35A to enter and exit, and the bottom surface 10 of the upper box body 1, corresponding to the second locking portion (not shown, but similar to the first locking portion 35A) of the lower box body 1, has a second locking portion (not shown) Since each of the first and second locking parts (not shown, but a slit-shaped opening like the embodiment of the first locking part 11A) is provided to allow the first locking part 35A (which is similar to the first locking part 35A) to enter and exit, the boxes 1 can be stacked vertically without crushing the tips of the first locking part 35A and the second locking part (not shown, but similar to the first locking part 35A), and furthermore, misalignment of the upper and lower boxes 1, 1 can also be prevented.
