In FIG. 3B, the notebook personal computer is placed as a packaged article M in the central area of the board surface of the board, and as shown in FIGS. The folded edge 5 is erected, and a part (extending portion 5a) of both ends in the longitudinal direction of the article M is protruded and folded on the upper surface thereof, and the folded edges 5, butted as shown in FIG.
Adhesive tape 10 is stuck between the five to fix both folded edges 5,5.

In FIG. 3 (e), due to the folding of the folded edges 5, 5, the ears 9, 9 left on both side edges of the board
Are left overhanging from the board surface. In this portion, both side edges reach the base of the falling portion 11 of the baseboard 6 of the interior body 2 as described later, and the front and rear edges reach the base of the rising portion 12 of the interior body 2, and the portion on the baseboard 6. This is for preventing the lateral displacement of the inner body 11.

In FIG. 1A, the base board 6 of the interior body 2 supports the individual body 1 for holding the article M on the upper surface, and has falling portions 11 at both front and rear edges of the plate surface. And
It has rising portions 12 on both side edges.

The falling portion 11 and the rising portion 12 are located at predetermined distances from both ends and both side edges of the base board 6 which are both rectangular, and extend from bending lines 13 and 14 attached to the plate surface of the base board. Part. The corner portion of the base board 6 where the two bending lines 13 and 14 intersect,
A cut line 15 is provided along the folding line 13 to separate the cut line 15 from the rising portion 12 and to be provided as a holding portion 16 on the falling portion 13. The holding portion 16 is a portion to be applied to the outer surface of the rising portion 12 as described later.

The holding sheet 7 is a transparent plastic sheet having both ends fixed to the front and rear ends of the base board 6. FIG.
As shown in FIG. 1 (b), first, the both falling portions 11, 11 are first turned back slightly upward to open the space between the base board 6 and the holding sheet 7, and as shown in FIG. ,

The rising portion 12 is pressed against the upper bottom surface of the outer box 3 with the restoring force of the pressing sheet 7 acting on the falling portion 12.

Thus, the individual package 1 on the base board 6 is buffered by the falling portion 11 and is held by the outer box 3. The ears 9 of the individual package 1 have both ends on the baseboard 6.
The bases of the falling portions 11 and 11 before and after the base member are held by the holding sheet 7, and both side edges of the ear portions 9 reach the bases of the rising portions 12 and 12 on both sides and are supported by the inner surface of the outer box. Therefore, lateral displacement of the individual package 1 is prevented, and there is no room for this to move on the base board 6.

It is not necessary to use a sheet having excellent elasticity like a urethane sheet, and a polyethylene sheet is sufficient as long as it has strength enough to withstand the tension caused by bending of the falling portion 11. It is.

Rather, if a sheet having excellent elasticity is used as the holding sheet 7, the individual body 1 wrapping the notebook personal computer can be used because the holding sheet 7 has elasticity when subjected to an external impact. 7 may be shaken in the interior body 2 against the elasticity of the interior 7.

The holding portion 16 attached to the falling portion 11

1 and 3, the direction of the line inside the circle indicated by A indicates the direction of the flute of the cardboard paper. Cardboard paper bends with a relatively weak force in the direction along the flute, but requires a relatively strong force to bend in a direction perpendicular to the flute. In the individual package 1, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), the direction of the flute is set in the front-rear direction of the cover board 4 (the direction connecting both ears 9, 9), so that the ears 9, especially FIG. The strength of the protruding portion of the ear portion 9 protruding to both sides of the individual package 1 shown is secured.

As shown in FIG. 1 (a), the direction of the flute of the interior body 2 is set in the longitudinal direction of the base board 6 (the direction connecting both the falling portions 11, 11). Therefore, the bending strength in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction (the direction connecting both rising portions 12, 12) is large.

When the interior body 2 and the individual body 1 are combined as shown in FIG. 2E, the flute direction of the base board 6 of the interior body 2 and the flute direction of the cover board 4 of the individual body 1 Are orthogonal to each other, and the strength as a packing tool is increased. Individual body,
Plastic corrugated cardboard can be used as the material of the interior body. When using plastic cardboard, the setting procedure of the flute direction is the same, but when using a material in which the flute direction is not clear, the directionality of the board does not matter.

Although the present invention has been developed as a transport packaging for a notebook personal computer, it goes without saying that the present invention can also be applied to a transport packaging for electronic devices of a similar form.
