The transport container 14 is configured when they are overlapped.

[0010] The divided body 12 holds the transport container 14 up and down by two.
Although it is divided, the dividing surface is not in the same horizontal plane but in a stepped shape, and the end surface is formed by a flange. That is, the divided body 12 is
6 and a long short side wall 18 and a pair of short side walls 20 and 22, and these four side walls are formed to rise from a bottom wall 24. On the other hand, of the short side walls 20 and 22, a substantially half part on the side contacting the long side wall 16 is made tall, and a substantially half part on the side contacting the short side wall 18 is made short. Therefore,
The open end faces of the short side walls 20 and 22 are formed by an upper end face 26 and a lower end face 28 and an oblique end face 30 connecting these.

On the other hand, the corner portions P and Q of the long side wall 18 have
At its outer edge, arc-shaped projections 32, 34 are formed, and such projections 32, 34 engage the flat flange portions of the corner portions R, S at the line symmetry position of the center line XX inward. It can be stopped. That is, the corner P on the short side
The ribs and the flanges form positioning portions between the corner portions R and the corner portions R, and between the corner portions Q and the corner portions S. In these positioning portions, the projections 32 and 3 are formed.
4 is arranged outside the flange.

On the other hand, the projections 3 are also provided on the upper sides of the oblique end faces 30, 30 located at the middle of the two corners.
6, 36 are formed, and recesses 40, 40 are further formed. The protrusion 36 and the recess 40 form a fitting portion when the upper and lower divided bodies are overlapped. Also, two partition walls 42,
42 are erected, whereby the internal housing portion is divided into three.

Although the divided body 12 according to the present embodiment is formed as described above, the operation when the divided bodies 12 are combined vertically will be described below. Now, the product B transported in the transport container 14 is a roll-shaped article as shown in FIG. These three roll-shaped articles B are arranged in a horizontal line in the divided body 12 'when the lower divided body 12' is the container body side. That is, the partition wall 42
Are arranged one by one in the space defined by. After the products B are arranged, the short-side corner portions of the upper divided body 12 and the lower divided body 12 ′ are matched with each other. That is, the corners S and Q of the upper divided body 12 are connected to the lower divided body 1
