Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a packaging container for collectively packaging a plurality of fluorescent lamps.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various types of packaging containers for packaging a plurality of straight tube fluorescent lamps have been proposed. For example, a cut piece provided in a packaging container body so as to cross a ridge thereof is directed inward. One that folds and holds a fluorescent lamp (Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-71473), and one that forms at least one ridge of a rectangular cylindrical lamp storage tube in a waveform to enhance the holding properties of a fluorescent lamp (Jpn. No. 60-38543)
Etc. are known.

[0003] Each of these is a dedicated packaging container for accommodating two fluorescent lamps. Such a dedicated packaging container is prepared separately from an individually packaged container for accommodating one fluorescent lamp. Since it must be packaged, there have been problems such as lack of versatility and high cost.

Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, two individual containers 2 each containing a fluorescent lamp 5 are put into one collecting box 9 made of cardboard, and the end of the collecting box 9 is closed. There are packaging containers that are glued and sealed. At the end of the collecting box 9, an opening perforated cut band 10 for facilitating the removal of the individually packaged container 2 is provided.

[0005]

However, in such a conventional configuration, the glue deteriorates due to aging during display at a store, and the sealed portion 11, that is, the bonded portion is opened, or the impact during transportation is reduced. The fluorescent lamp 5 jumps out of the collecting box 9 due to, for example, the bonded portion being opened, and the base pin 12 is protruded. Further, there has been a problem that the printed color of the packaging container is peeled off due to friction between the products during transportation or the like, and the surface of the packaging container is deteriorated due to moisture adsorption during display at a store, thereby deteriorating the product value.

The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and it is an object of the present invention to maintain the commercial value for a long period of time by reducing deterioration such as protrusion of a base pin or color peeling during transportation or display at a store. It is an object of the present invention to provide a fluorescent lamp packaging container which is low cost and excellent in versatility.

[0007]

According to the present invention, there is provided a fluorescent lamp packaging container comprising: a rectangular column-shaped individual container having openings at both ends in which a fluorescent lamp having cap pins at both ends is housed; A plurality of juxtaposed or stacked side-by-side so that the cross section in the direction perpendicular to the length direction becomes rectangular or square to form an individually packaged container assembly, and a box-shaped cap member at both end openings of the individually packaged container assembly Is provided to close the opening portions at both ends of the individual container assembly, the individual container assembly is wrapped by a packaging member together with the cap member, and the bottom surface of the cap member has a V-shape for opening a packaging container. Perforation cut line is provided.

As a result, it is possible to maintain the commercial value for a long period of time by reducing the deterioration of the base pin projections and color peeling during transportation and store display, and to realize a fluorescent lamp which is low in cost and excellent in versatility. A packaging container can be obtained.

[0009]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The invention according to claim 1 of the present invention is directed to a rectangular column-shaped single container having openings at both ends in which a fluorescent lamp having cap pins at both ends is housed. A plurality of juxtaposed or stacked side-by-side so that the cross section in the direction perpendicular to the length direction becomes rectangular or square to form an individually packaged container assembly, and a box-shaped cap member at both end openings of the individually packaged container assembly Is provided to close the opening portions at both ends of the individual container assembly, the individual container assembly is wrapped by a packaging member together with the cap member, and the bottom surface of the cap member has a V-shape for opening a packaging container. Perforation cut line is provided.

[0010] Thus, a plurality of individual packaging containers can be used in combination, and a dedicated packaging container for accommodating a plurality of fluorescent lamps (for example, a two-package packaging container) as in the related art. Need not be created and packaged separately.
In addition, since the openings at both ends of the individual packaging container are closed with a cap member instead of pasting with a glue or the like in the past, it is possible to prevent the base pin of the fluorescent lamp from opening due to deterioration and protruding. Since the collecting box is not used as described above, the weight can be significantly reduced, which is effective in reducing the weight and the resources of the packaging container, and further reducing the waste.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the packaging container according to the first aspect, the packaging member is made of a waterproof film material, and the individual package assembly is hermetically packaged together with the cap member. As a result, there is no color peeling of the surface which has occurred in the conventional paper collecting box, and deterioration due to moisture absorption is significantly reduced.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first or second aspect, the packaging member is a waterproof and heat-shrinkable film material. And the cap member can be tightly sealed and packaged.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a fluorescent lamp packaging container according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the packaging container 1 has two individual containers 2 arranged side by side, and covers the opening at both ends with cap members 3 for cap protection, thereby closing the openings at both ends. Further, the whole is hermetically sealed with a heat-shrinkable film 4 as a packaging member. Further, a straight tube fluorescent lamp 5 having cap pins at both ends is housed in the individual packaging 2.

Although not shown in the drawings, the heat-shrinkable film 4 is provided with a design or the like in the same manner as a conventional collective box.

As shown in FIG. 2, a box-shaped cap member 3 is provided.
Is made of paper such as corrugated cardboard, and has a size such that two individual containers 2 can be easily inserted.

When applied to two 20W straight tube fluorescent lamps, the cap member 3 has a long side of 60 mm, a short side of 30 mm and a depth of 20 mm. A substantially arc-shaped perforation cut line 6 is provided on one side surface of the cap member 3, and a straight and C-shaped perforation cut line continuous from the end of the side surface perforation cut line 6 is provided on the bottom surface. 7 are provided.

The package 2 is a generally used cardboard square sack as shown in FIG.

According to such a configuration, the conventional 1
A plurality of individual packaging containers can be used in combination, and a special packaging container for storing a plurality of fluorescent lamps (for example, a two-pack storage packaging container) needs to be separately prepared and packaged as in the past. Because there is no, the cost can be reduced and the versatility can be improved. In addition, since the openings at both ends of the individual packaging container are closed with a cap member instead of pasting with a glue or the like in the past, it is possible to prevent the base pin of the fluorescent lamp from opening due to deterioration and protruding. Since the collecting box is not used as described above, the weight can be reduced by 90% or more as compared with the conventional case, which is effective in reducing the weight and resource of the packaging container and reducing the amount of dust.

Further, since the outside is sealed with the heat-shrinkable film 4, there is no color peeling of the surface as in a conventional paper collecting box, and deterioration due to moisture absorption is remarkably reduced.

In the conventional opaque collection box, the presence or absence of the contents could not be determined from the external appearance. In the present invention, however, the presence or absence of the contents was extremely easy. It is possible to reliably prevent a box from being shipped.

Next, a method for opening the packaging container of the present embodiment will be described.

When the packaging container 1 is to be opened, first, an arc-shaped perforated cut line 6 on the side surface of the cap member 3 is used.
Is preferably applied to the thumb and pressed into the inside of the packaging container 1. The arc-shaped portion 8 is cut along the perforation cut line 6 together with the heat-shrinkable film 4 and folded inside. Next, when the folded arc-shaped portion 8 and the bottom surface of the cap member 3 are pinched and pulled outward, the bottom surface of the cap member 3 is cut along the perforation cut line 7 as shown in FIG. All four are cut. Thereafter, the cap member 3 is removed from the individually packaged container 2 and the heat-shrinkable film 4
, The two individual containers 2 can be taken out of the heat-shrinkable film 4 respectively.

The perforation cut lines 6, 7 need not necessarily be provided on the cap members at both ends, but can be opened from either end by providing both at the cap members.

The arc-shaped portion 8 on the side surface of the cap member 3
Is located between the two individual containers 2 and the fluorescent lamp 5
Is provided in the region where the base pin is located, so that the fluorescent lamp 5 main body does not hinder the pushing when the arc-shaped portion 8 is pushed.

The shape of the perforation cut line 6 does not need to be arcuate, but is most preferably arcuate in consideration of the shape of a human fingertip.

FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. In the above embodiment, two fluorescent lamps are wrapped, but this embodiment is an example in which three fluorescent lamps are wrapped. In this case, the substantially arc-shaped perforated cut line 6 is not provided at the center of the side surface of the cap member 3, but is provided at an intermediate portion between the fluorescent lamp located at the center and the adjacent fluorescent lamp.

When four fluorescent lamps are packaged, 4
Books may be arranged on the same plane, or two books may be stacked, and assembled so that the cross section in the longitudinal direction is rectangular or square. The same applies to the case of packaging a plurality of four or more tubes.

[0030]

As described above, the fluorescent lamp packaging container of the present invention has high versatility, can reduce the cost, can prevent the base pin of the fluorescent lamp from protruding, and can reduce the weight. Can be significantly reduced, further reducing the weight and resources, and further reducing the amount of dust.

Further, it is possible to prevent color peeling of the surface, which has occurred in the conventional paper collecting box, and to remarkably suppress surface deterioration due to moisture absorption.

Further, the individually packaged container assembly and the cap member can be more tightly sealed and packaged.

Further, the individual container or the fluorescent lamp in the individual container can be easily taken out.
