2. Description of the Related Art As an example, the above-mentioned plate-like article packing unit is used for transporting a film laminate (corresponding to a plate-like article) formed by laminating chip-like polarizing films.

Conventionally, the above-mentioned plate-like article storage case has been provided with a rectangular container-like case body in which the entire inside is a single plate-like article storage space, and a lid for the case body.

[0004] Then, the film laminate is housed in the case body of each plate-like article storage case and the lid is covered, and the plurality of plate-like article storage cases are vertically stacked and stored in a transport box. A cardboard pad / packing material or the like is packed in a transport box so that the plate-shaped article storage case does not rattle inside, and transported in that state.

[0005]

According to the above-mentioned conventional construction, since the cardboard pad / packing material and the like are packed in the carrying box, the cardboard pad / packing material and the like are discarded after unpacking. Was out.

[0006] In addition, since the entire inside of the case body of the plate-shaped article storage case is a single plate-shaped article storage space, when the case body is not filled with the film laminate, a cushion is provided in the case body. Materials such as materials must be packed to avoid rattling of the film laminate during transportation, and in this case as well, the cushioning material has come out as waste after unpacking.

As a result, in the conventional configuration, there is a problem that the packaging material is expensive and is not preferable in terms of environmental protection.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to unpack a package so that a plate-shaped article is less likely to rattle during transportation and is less likely to receive an impact. It is another object of the present invention is to suppress the generation of waste after the operation, to suppress the deterioration of the environment, and to reduce the cost for packaging.

[0009]

The constitution, operation and effect of the invention according to claim 1 are as follows. [Configuration] In the plate-like article packing unit described at the beginning, the plurality of plate-like article storage cases are provided in the transport box.
In a state in which the plate-shaped article storage case group including the plurality of plate-shaped article storage cases is housed in the transport box, with the stack being configured to be stacked in at least one of the vertical direction and the horizontal direction or to be abutted against each other, Setting the size of the plate-shaped article storage case, to configure the plate-shaped article storage case, provided a rectangular container-shaped case body with an open upper side, a predetermined number of partition walls to partition the inside of the case body,
A plurality of plate-shaped article storage spaces whose sizes can be adjusted and formed are formed by engaging with a pair of opposing side walls on the case body side in a state where mutual movement toward and away from each other is allowed. Partition wall fixing means for fixing the partition wall group to the case body by pressing the partition wall group in a direction in which the partition walls are arranged in a state where the plate-like articles are accommodated in the space is provided.

[A] [A] A plurality of plate-like articles are individually accommodated in a plurality of plate-like article storage spaces of a plate-like article storage case, and a partition wall group is pressed by partition wall fixing means in a direction in which the partition walls are arranged. Then, it is fixed to the rectangular container-shaped case body.

[B] Since the partition wall group is fixed to the case body as described above, rattling of the plate-like article in the case body can be suppressed. Further, since each partition wall is allowed to move close to and away from each other, it is possible to accommodate a plurality of sizes of plate-like articles.

[C] For example, when a plate-like article is a film laminate in which a plurality of polarizing films are superimposed, and the product is transported from a factory to a customer, the order number of the film laminate from the customer is all. Although it may be less than the number of plate-shaped article storage spaces, since each partition wall is engaged with a pair of side walls in a state where it is allowed to move close to and away from each other, in such a case, the outer surfaces of both plate surfaces By pressing a partition wall on which no plate-shaped article is present on one side with an adjacent partition wall by pressing by the partition wall fixing means, a pressing force can be applied to the plate-shaped article.

In other words, when the inside of the case body is not filled with the plate-like articles, it is possible to avoid rattling of the plate-like articles without using a means for filling the case body with a padding material such as a cushioning material.

[D] By the above operations [a], [b] and [c], padding such as cushioning material to be packed in the plate-like article storage case becomes unnecessary.

[E] The plurality of plate-like article storage cases are stored in a carrying box in a state of being stacked or abutted in at least one of the vertical direction and the lateral direction, and transported in that state.

In the case of the above 1), it is not necessary to pack the padding (cushion material or the like) into the transport box. This allows
No waste (filled after use) is generated.

In the case of the above 2), about one to two stuffing materials are packed in the carrying box in addition to the plate-like article housing case group. In this case, since only one or two stuffings are required, even if the stuffing becomes waste, the amount of waste can be reduced. If the stuffing is made of a reusable material, no waste (used stuffing) is produced.

[Effect] Accordingly, while the plate-shaped article can be packaged so that it does not rattle during transportation and is hardly subject to impact, the waste generated after unpacking can be reduced as much as possible. As a result, the deterioration of the environment can be suppressed, and the cost for packaging can be reduced.

Further, since it is possible to accommodate a plurality of sizes of plate-like articles, it is not necessary to prepare a plurality of types of plate-like article storage cases for each size of the plate-like articles.
