The part 30 is assembled to form the partition 10A of the present invention.

The partition 10A of the first invention is shown in FIG.
As shown in (1), the storage portion 2 of the box 1A is divided into a plurality of sections 3 by being disposed inside a three-dimensional rectangular box 1A having an open top surface and a bottom surface 4. Each of the horizontal partition plates 21 and 22 and the vertical partition plates 31 and 32 functions as four side walls of each of the plurality of divided sections 3.

At this time, the horizontal partition plates 21 and 22 are connected to the connecting plate 2.

b, the partition 3 is fixed, and can be a section 3 having a strong side wall that is hardly curved as compared with a conventional partition. Therefore, the intermediate partition 10A can be formed using a thin paperboard having a low bending strength, for example.

The partition 10 of the first invention described above.
A is applied to the box 1A whose upper surface is open, but the type of the box 1A is not particularly limited, and can be applied to a box having a lid.

Next, a description will be given of an embodiment of a box with a partition according to the second invention which utilizes the partition of the first invention. Box 100B with a partition in this second invention
Is characterized in that the inner surface of the bottom surface 4 of the box 1B can be made flat without laying a bottom plate 8 for making the inner surface flat.

FIG. 5 shows a box 1B of a box 100B with a partition.
FIG. 4 is a top view showing an inner surface where the bottom surface 4 of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 5, the outer flaps 6, 6 on the bottom surface 4 of the box 1B are in contact with each other, while a gap 7 is provided between the inner flaps 5, 5 on the bottom surface 4. ing. The size of the inner flaps 5 and 5 on the bottom surface 4 of the box 1B and the connection plate 23 of the horizontal partition portion 20 of the middle partition 10B so that the connecting plate 23 of the middle partition 10B can be fitted into the gap 7.
Set the dimensions of Therefore, in order to make the vertical sections 3 of the storage section 2 of the box 1B at equal intervals, the width of the inner flaps 5, 5 and the width of the gap 7 between the inner flaps 5, 5 are made the same. That is, the storage portion 2 of the box 1B is fixed by adopting a dimensional design that satisfies the relational expression of <length of the outer flap 6 of the box 1B−width of the inner flap 5 × 2 = width of the connecting plate 23 of the partition 10B> , And articles can be arranged and stored. Further, in order to make the surface of the connecting plate 23 and the surfaces of the inner flaps 5, 5 of the box 1B coplanar, the thickness of the connecting plate 23 and the thickness of the inner flaps 5, 5 are the same. As a result, the bottom surface of the box 1B can be made flat, and the heights of the articles can be uniformly aligned and stored.

In the first and second inventions described above,
Although a composite material such as corrugated cardboard is used as a material for the horizontal partitioning portion and the vertical partitioning portion, a large pressure resistance can be provided even if a material having low rigidity such as paperboard is used as a material other than the composite material.

[0028]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the horizontal partition plate is fixed by the connecting plate, the fitted vertical partition plate is also fixed, thereby improving the pressure resistance against external force. The partition can be a middle partition, and can be a section having a strong side wall which is less likely to be curved as compared with a conventional partition. Therefore, the partition can be formed by using a thin paperboard having a low bending strength, for example. For example, it is difficult to accommodate relatively heavy components such as electric equipment and information equipment in a box provided with a conventional partition and to transport the same because the partition has insufficient resistance to external force. However, by employing the above-described middle partition according to the present invention, it is possible to improve the pressure resistance against the external force applied to the middle partition. For this reason, it is possible to store and transport relatively heavy parts such as electric equipment and information equipment.

According to the box with a partition according to the second aspect of the present invention, the partition of the first aspect of the present invention is used to fit the partition into the gap between the inner flaps on the bottom surface of the box. Since the inside partition is fixed and it is in a state of being unable to move, it is a box with a middle partition with a higher strength of the middle partition, and the surface of the inner flap on the bottom of the box and the connecting plate of the middle partition Can maintain a flat state with the front surface, so that there is no need to lay a laying plate on the bottom surface, and cost can be reduced.
