2. Description of the Related Art From the viewpoint of efficiency of cooling and heating, energy saving, and measures against noise, airtightness of general houses and offices has been attempted, and accordingly, generation of mold due to moisture and the like have been raised as a problem. I have. For this reason, a hygroscopic agent such as calcium chloride is sealed in a synthetic resin container,
Dehumidifiers in which the opening at the top of the container is covered with a moisture-permeable impermeable sheet have been widely used. Here, as a synthetic resin container used for such a dehumidifier, a container having a substantially elliptical shape in plan view, a shape in which a peripheral wall of an opening at an upper end of the container is enlarged and a peripheral flange portion is formed, is widely used. In this case, the moisture-permeable and water-impermeable sheet covers the upper end opening of the container by being attached to the peripheral edge. Further, in such a dehumidifier, in order to protect the opening at the upper end of the container from external force, a plastic lid material having a large number of vent holes is generally fitted.

[0003] In a house, these dehumidifiers are installed at many places such as a closet, a closet, a clog box and the like, and therefore, the dehumidifiers are often sold in a form of a plurality of collectively packed. . In this case, the necessary number of dehumidifiers are arranged in a line, and a cardboard cover that supports each of them in series is placed on the top and bottom of the assembly, and then the outside is tightly sealed with a shrink film. It is generally done by exteriorizing.

[0004]

In recent years, it has been strongly desired that such dehumidifiers have a simple structure, are easy to use, and are inexpensive. Even in the case of various products, various devices have been tried to satisfy this demand. For example, without separately providing a plastic lid material to be fitted to the upper end opening of the container of the dehumidifier, the lid material is cut out from a cardboard cover used for supporting the dehumidifier, and is formed as needed at the time of use. It has been proposed to do so. However, in this method, it is difficult to firmly cover the separated cardboard lid on the upper end opening of the container, and it is easily removed by an external force. Therefore, the moisture-permeable non-permeable material covering the upper end opening is difficult. The flexible sheet was easily damaged, and was not satisfactory at this time.

[0005] For this reason, in the dehumidifier in a collectively packaged form, the opening at the upper end of the container is well protected from external force when each dehumidifier is used, and the structure is simple, easy to use, and inexpensive to manufacture. There was a strong desire to develop something.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems The present inventors have intensively studied in view of the above problems. As a result, for each dehumidifier to be packaged, both ends in the longitudinal direction of the peripheral collar portion project out of the package from the window of the cardboard packaging material. For each packaging unit, by engraving a characteristic engagement piece that is upwardly directed from the vicinity of the bottom of the side wall portion as a base and has an engagement portion at the tip by a perforation line substantially at the center of both side walls, It has been found that the above problem can be solved, and the present invention has been completed.

That is, in the present invention, a plurality of dehumidifiers having a substantially elliptical shape in plan view, a peripheral wall of an upper end opening of a container being enlarged to form a peripheral flange, are arranged in a row, From, covering the cardboard packaging material, a dehumidifier assembly packaging body wrapped in the row direction and layered on both sides at the bottom, each dehumidifier, both ends in the longitudinal direction of the peripheral flange portion, The cardboard packaging material protrudes outside the package from the window, and the cardboard packaging material has perforation lines or tear strips over the entire length of the bottom wall in the row direction and the entire circumference of the boundary of each packaging unit. The cardboard packaging material is further provided with a cardboard packaging material for each packaging unit, with perforation lines on both side walls, approximately in the center of the both side walls, upwards with the vicinity of the bottom of the side wall as a base, and a tip. An engagement piece having an engagement portion is engraved on the perforated line, and the perforated line is cut off. The engagement piece is inverted the base as an axis, a dehumidifier collection package that characterized by being adapted to engage one another the engagement portions of both engaging pieces.

Is preferably provided such that it can be opened by using an opening or a perforation line when the dehumidifier is used.

Next, in the dehumidifier assembly package of the present invention, a perforation line or a tearing band is engraved over the entire length of the bottom wall portion of the cardboard packaging material in the column direction and the entire periphery of the boundary of each packaging unit. Have been. For example, in the dehumidifier assembly package (1) of FIG. 1 described above, a tear band (8) is formed over the entire length of the bottom wall of the cardboard packaging material (3) in the column direction, and the boundary of each packaging unit. The perforation line (9) is formed over the entire circumference. Therefore, in the dehumidifier assembly package (1),
When using the dehumidifier (2), the tear strip (8) formed on the bottom wall is cleaved and the cardboard wrapping material (3) is developed, so that each of the dehumidifiers (2) inside is decomposed. The packaging units (10a) (10b) of the individual dehumidifiers can be taken out of the package and tear the perforation line (9) formed at the boundary of each packaging unit.
(10c) can be easily separated. In the example of FIG. 1, what is formed on the bottom wall portion is a tear band, and what is formed on the boundary of the packaging unit is a perforation line. They may be provided, or they may be partially divided in one line.

The most significant feature of the present invention is that in the dehumidifier assembly package (1), each of the packaging units (10a), (10b), and (10c) of the cardboard packaging material (3) has substantially two side walls. The central part is formed by engraving an engagement piece (11) with a perforation line facing upward from the vicinity of the bottom of the side wall part and having an engagement part at the tip. These engagement pieces (11)
As shown in the "front view showing the assembled state of the packaging unit of the cardboard packaging material separated and expanded" in FIG. 3, the "side view" in FIG. 4, and the "bottom view" in FIG. By separating the perforation line and inverting the base portion as an axis, the engaging portions (12) of the two engaging pieces can be engaged with each other.

In the case of the dehumidifier assembly package (1) provided with such an engagement piece (11), when the dehumidifier (2) is used, "the separated and expanded cardboard packaging material" shown in FIG. From the top of the opened dehumidifier, the packaging units (10a), (10b), and (10) of the cardboard packaging material (3), as shown in "A perspective view showing a state in which the opened dehumidifier is stored in the packaging unit."
c), and each of the engagement pieces is turned upside down and turned around the bottom wall of the package, and the overlap of the tips of the two is set to the engagement portion (12).
, The dehumidifier can be repackaged firmly.

In the present invention, the engaging piece (11) is provided on both side walls of each of the packaging units (10a), (10b), and (10c) at the bottom of the package when the respective bases are turned around. Are provided so that their tips overlap with a sufficient length. The engaging portion provided on the overlapping portion may be provided in any form as long as both pieces can be joined. For example, a magic tape (registered trademark) or the like may be attached to the overlapping portion. Usually, it is preferable to provide a form in which a cut is provided and each is engaged.

Further, on both side walls of the packaging unit,
The formation position of the engagement piece is preferably at the center, but may be provided at a position slightly shifted in any side direction. Similarly, the base of the engagement piece is preferably located at the bottom of the side wall, but may be located at a certain distance above the bottom.

Next, a method of using the dehumidifier assembly package of the present invention will be described.

In use, first, when the outer periphery of the package is covered with a shrink film, the package is peeled off, and then the tear band (8) is cleaved, and the individual dehumidifiers (2) to be accommodated are separated. Is taken out, and the packaging material unfolded by the opening breaks the perforation line (9) that divides the individual packaging units, and the individual packaging units (10a) (1
0b) Separate every (10c). Then, for each packaging unit, a vent (7) formed by a perforated line is opened in the upper wall, and the engaging pieces (11) engraved on the both side walls by the perforated line are cut off.

Next, after removing the moisture-impermeable sheet (5) covering the upper end opening of the container of the removed dehumidifier (2), the cardboard packaging material (3) is opened from above. ) Packaging unit (10a) (10
b) Cover (10c), and make the engaging piece (11) function as described above, thereby firmly repackaging in the manner shown in FIG. 6 and subjecting it to dehumidification.

According to the dehumidifier assembly package (1) of the present invention, the individual dehumidifiers (2) to be housed are separated from the cardboard packaging material (3) by such simple operations. The unit (10a), (10b), and (10c) can be repackaged and provided for dehumidification. In this case, the dehumidifier (2) has both ends in the longitudinal direction of the peripheral flange (4) projecting out of the package through the window (6) of the packaging unit. Since the container (2) is repackaged by the engagement piece (11), the dehumidifier is firmly fixed in the repackage. Therefore, the upper wall of the packaging unit functions as a cover material for the upper end opening of the dehumidifier, and strongly protects the portion.

Further, even when the container material of the dehumidifier (2) is made of a material having low mechanical strength,
Since the packaging material from which the packaging unit is separated is made of cardboard,
Its strength is reinforced.

[0024]

The dehumidifier assembly package of the present invention has a simple structure, and each dehumidifier can be set in a usable state by a simple operation.

In this state of use, the opening of the upper end of the container of the dehumidifier is firmly protected by the upper wall of the packaging unit, which is separated from the cardboard packaging material and surrounds the dehumidifier. The accident that the moisture-permeable and liquid-permeable sheet covering the part is broken by external force can be largely prevented.

Moreover, the protection of the opening of the upper end of the container of the dehumidifier is performed by utilizing a cardboard packaging material for collectively packaging the dehumidifier without separately forming a lid material with plastic or the like. Is extremely economical.
