  • a package box with sufficient strength which is capable of readily packing or crating a plurality of spark plugs while protecting their spark gap against dimensional alteration and easily taking out the spark plug upon unpacking while easily managing the spark plugs left in the package box.
  • a package box for a spark plug comprising: a paper tray including an array of compartment portions provided to accommodate a lower portion of a spark plug to protect a spark gap, and an array of retainer portions provided to place an upper portion of the spark plug in position; and a casing package provided to accommodate the paper tray.
  • each of compartments portions has an accommodation hole to admit a thread portion of the spark plug to accommodate the thread portion and an outer electrode
  • each of the retainer portions includes a compartment portion having a retainer hole to admit an insulator of the spark plug so that the tray accommodates the spark plug with its insulator portion exposed between the array of the compartment portions and the array of the retainer portions.
  • a streak of perforation is provided on the tray so as to be separable between the neighboring spark plugs.
  • the casing package is made of a transparent material directly encircling around the tray.
  • a mount board having a hanging hole is provided on an underside of the tray.
  • the spark plugs Upon using the spark plugs, the spark plugs appears with the tray only by opening the casing package. This makes it possible to readily take out any of the spark plugs with ease.
  • the perforation provided on the tray it is possible to individually handle the spark plugs by separating the tray along the perforation. Even after the tray is separated, the spark plug is protected against inadvertent damage because the compartment and retainer portions accommodate the lower and upper ends of the spark plug respectively.
  • the casing package made of the transparent material, it is possible to visually confirm the insulator outside of the casing package so as to distinguish a type of the spark plug.
  • the package box 1 for a plural (e.g. six) of spark plugs 100 according to a first embodiment of the invention.
  • the package box 1 includes a paper tray 10 and a casing package 2 which accommodate the tray 10.
  • the tray 10 is made of a sheet of thin corrugated cardboard or a pasteboard to have an upper cellular box 20 and a lower cellular box 30 which in turn serves as a retainer portion and a compartment portion.
  • a development is depicted on a cutting board 10A as shown in Figure 2.
  • the cutting board 10A has a main divisional area 11 including a vertical dimension greater than a lengthwise dimension of the spark plug 100, while at the same time, including a lateral dimension greater than a total width of the six spark plugs combined.
  • An upper part of the main divisional area 11 has sections 21, 22 and 23 for making the upper cellular box 20, while a lower part of the main divisional area 11 has sections 31, 32 and 33 for making the lower cellular box 30.
  • Each of the sections 23, 33 has a margin to paste up as designated by numerals 24, 34.
  • a reinforce section for strengthen the cellular box 20 as designated by numerals 25, 26.
  • a reinforce section for physically strengthening the cellular box 30 as designated by numerals 35, 36.
  • a margin to paste up as designated by numerals 27, 28, 37 and 38. In this instance, these reinforce sections 25, 26, 35 and 36 may be omitted when it is not necessary to strengthen the cellular boxes 20, 30.
  • the reinforce sections 25, 26, 35 and 36 may be consecutively extended from the main divisional area 11 or other sections 22, 23, 32 and 33 instead of extending them from the sections 21, 31.
  • the paste-up margins 27, 28, 37 and 38 may be provided other area than the reinforce sections 25, 26, 35 and 36. The number of the paste-up margins may be altered as desired.
  • the cutting board 10A is folded along crease lines (CR) with the margins 27, 28, 37 and 38 pasted up.
  • the tray 10 After folding the cutting board 10A into the tray 10, the tray 10 is folded to have the lower cellular box 30 to accommodate the thread portion 103 and the outer electrode 104 of the metallic shell 102, and at the same time, having the upper cellular box 20 to accommodate a terminal 105 and an upper part of the insulator 101. As shown by dot-dash lines A ⁇ E in Fig. 2, five streaks of perforations are provided on the cutting board 10A to discretely separate any of the spark plugs as desired.
  • the casing package 2 is made dimensionally greater than the tray 10 so as to tightly accommodate the tray 10.
  • an entire strength becomes sufficient to hold the spark plugs in it by the double layer of tray 10 and the casing package 2.
  • the thread portion 103 of the metallic shell 102 is firstly brought to go through the accommodation hole 39 of the lower cellular box 30, and then the upper part of insulator 101 is admitted into the retainer hole 29 of the upper cellular box 20 as shown in Fig. 3a.
  • the tray 10 is encased into the casing package 2 so as to complete the packing operation.
  • the outer electrode 104 is protected by the lower cellular box 30 so that no influence is given on the spark gap between a center and outer electrodes 106, 105.
  • the spark plugs 100 are doubly protected by the tray 10 and the casing package 2 which accommodates the tray 10, the package box 1 positively protects the spark plugs 100 against the damage caused by the exterior force while roughly handling the package box 1.
  • the cellular box 20 When taking out any of the spark plugs 100, the cellular box 20 is turned along a direction of arrow (AR) to expose the terminal 105 with the tray 10 withdrawn from the casing package 2 as shown in Fig. 3b. Then, the desired spark plug is taken out by grabbing the metallic shell 102 of any of the spark plugs 100.

  • the spark plugs are readily packaged in the package box 1, while easily taken out when in use.
  • the outer electrode 104 is accommodated by the lower cellular box 30, and at the same time, the package box 1 is physically strengthened by the double structure of the tray 10 and the casing package 2, thus protecting the spark gap against mechanically adverse influence since the package box 1 is unlikely to be easily squelched. Since it is possible to visually confirm the presence or absence of any of the spark plugs only by pulling out the tray 10 from the package box 1, the number of the spark plugs left on the tray 10 is readily confirmed.
  • Fig. 4 shows a second embodiment of the invention in which a transparent wrapper 3 is used to pack the tray 10 instead of the casing package 2.
  • the spark plugs 100 are visually confirmed from outside through the transparent wrapper 3 which is made from a thin sheet of plastic material. This makes it possible to further confirm a type of the spark plugs 100 accommodated by the package box 1.
  • Fig. 5 shows a third embodiment of the invention in which a mount board 5 having a hanging hole 4 is fixedly provided on the underside of the tray 10.
  • the tray 10 is encircled by a transparent wrapper 6 which substantially holds a J-shaped configuration.
  • any of the spark plugs 100 are readily taken out from the tray 10 in use and the rest of the spark plugs are kept by hanging the tray 10 on an appropriate wall even after the transparent wrapper 6 is removed from the tray 10.
  • the tray is made from a piece of paper so that the tray 10 is readily put into automatic assembling.
  • the thread portion 103 and the outer electrode 104 are accommodated by the lower cellular box 30 so that the spark gap is effectively protected against damage.
  • the spark plugs are readily grabbed since the spark plugs are visually confirmed.
  • the perforations A - E provided on the tray 10 the spark plugs are individually handled by separating the tray 10 along the perforations A - E.
  • tray 10 and casing package 2 may be made from a sheet of synthetic resin or fibre-reinforced plastic material instead of the pasteboard or the corrugated cardboard.
