Description

  The present invention relates to an application box.

  Conventionally, as part of sales promotion, solicitation of prizes for specific products has been conducted. In order to apply for this sweepstakes, you usually fill out the required information on the application postcards that are hung from the storefront, and separate the sticker or barcode that proves that the purchased product is a specific product from the product. Paste it or answer a quiz about the product, and post it to the application box 1 also installed in the store. The posted application postcards are collected from each store after the campaign period, and collected at the campaign office of the chain headquarters for lottery.

The application box 101 is printed with a prize solicitation and is made up of cardboard that can be easily printed and discarded because it is removed immediately after the end of the campaign period. As a form of the postcard, an entry post 102 is attached to a top plate 12 of a so-called B-type box such as a box with a plug-in lid on the top and bottom or a box with a plug-in lid attached to the bottom. The type is common, for example, disclosed in Non-Patent Document 1 below (see FIGS. 15 and 16).

  However, the conventional application box 101 has a problem in collecting application postcards after the end of the campaign period.

  The application box 101 is deeply designed to be several times larger than the total volume of application cards that are actually posted. This is because the application box 101 needs to drop the application postcard from the posting port 102 to the inside of the box so that the application postcard can be accommodated smoothly, and has a space only for dropping. In addition, as a result of dropping the application postcards, the application postcards in the application box 101 are stacked in a disorderly manner, so that the pile of application postcards becomes bulky. Such collection with application postcards placed in the application box 101 is extremely inefficient in terms of storage after transportation and collection because the application box 101 takes up space. Further, depending on the size of the mailing slot 102, there is a risk that the application postcard may be lost during transportation.

  In addition, if the application postcards are not collected in the application box 101 but are collected by laying a bundle of application postcards in another small box, the above-mentioned storage and storage problems after collection are Although it does not happen, it is necessary to prepare another small box at each store where the application box 101 is installed.

  Therefore, the object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and when collecting postcards after the end of the campaign period, it is extremely efficient in terms of transportation of the collection process and storage after collection, and separately. The purpose is to provide an application box that does not require a collection box.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a paper application box having a posting opening on a top plate, wherein the side plate has a top fold line parallel to the bottom plate and divided into an upper half and a lower half. The upper half of the side plate is converted into a lid when the side plate is folded.

  In the above configuration, the application box is a box formed by covering a bottom box with a lid box, and the side plate of the bottom box is divided into an upper half and a lower half and a mountain fold line parallel to the bottom plate is provided. Configured to be.

  Further, in the configuration of the covering box, the upper half and the lower half of the four side plates are divided and a mountain fold line parallel to the bottom plate is provided, and the upper side of each side plate in the pair of opposing side plates A valley fold line is provided so as to connect both ends of the mountain fold line of each side plate to form one right isosceles triangle.

  Further, in the configuration of the covering box, the upper half and the lower half of the four side plates are divided and a mountain fold line parallel to the bottom plate is provided, and the upper side of each side plate in the pair of opposing side plates A valley fold line is provided so as to form an isosceles trapezoid having a base angle of 45 ° by connecting both ends of the mountain fold line of each side plate, and at least one of the side plates not provided with the valley fold line is provided. It was configured to protrude from the other side plate.

  Further, in the configuration in which a right-angled isosceles triangle or an isosceles trapezoid is formed by the fold line, at least one of the side plates not provided with the valley fold line is overlapped on the opposite side plate by being folded. So as to protrude.

  Moreover, it comprised so that the adhesive material layer might be provided in either of the surfaces which the said side plate overlaps.

  Since the application box of the present invention has the above-described configuration and operation, the following effects are achieved.

  In other words, the application box according to the present invention has a side plate in which the upper half and the lower half are divided and a mountain fold line parallel to the bottom plate is provided. Therefore, when collecting postcards after the end of the campaign period, the postcards can be packed in a small bundle by folding them in a state of being piled on the bottom plate. Therefore, it is very efficient in terms of transportation in the collection process and storage after collection without taking up space. Moreover, since the lid is used with the side plate, there is no risk of losing the application postcard during transportation. Furthermore, it is not necessary to prepare a separate small box for collection at each store where the application box is installed.

  The application box according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In the present specification and drawings, “mountain fold” and “valley fold” are defined based on the state seen from the outer surface side of the side plates 13, 14, 15, and 16, and the fold line 6 is an imaginary line. It is actually formed rather than a line. Further, portions of the fold line 6 in the figure that are provided on the back side of the side plate or are blocked by other side plates and cannot see the fold line 6 are drawn through the side plate.

  The application box 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention has a loading port 2 on a top plate 12 formed by covering a bottom box 4 (see FIG. 3) without a lid with a lid box 5 (see FIG. 2) without a bottom. It is a paper box (see FIG. 4), and the folding lines 6 are provided on the side plates 13, 14, 15, 16 of the bottom box 4.

  The paper used for the application box 1 may be a thick paper called “paperboard”. The paperboard is mainly white paperboard, chipboard, yellow paperboard, colored paperboard, corrugated cardboard, etc., and generally has a multilayer structure of 3 to 9 layers in order to provide thickness.

  The lid box 5 is provided with an insertion piece 9 at the lower end, and the bottom box 4 is provided with an insertion hole 10. By inserting the insertion piece 9 into the insertion hole 10, the bottom box is provided. 4 can be locked in a state of covering the lid box 5. The insertion piece 9 and the insertion hole 10 can be omitted. Further, the lid box 5 and the bottom box 4 need not have the same depth.

  The fold line 6 in the bottom box 4 is a mountain fold line (dotted line in the figure) provided by dividing the upper half and the lower half of the four side plates 13, 14, 15, 16 and parallel to the bottom plate 17. In the pair of side plates 13 and 14 facing each other, a valley provided so as to form one right isosceles triangle by connecting the upper side of each side plate 13 and 14 and both ends of the mountain fold line of each side plate 13 and 14. It is a fold line (one-dot chain line in the figure). When the upper half of the side plates 13, 14, 15, 16 is folded along these folding lines 6, the following results. First, when a force is applied so that the upper sides of the side plates 13 and 14 provided with valley fold lines forming a right isosceles triangle are brought close to each other (see FIG. 7), valley folds are formed at the valley fold line portions and mountain fold line portions are formed. Each mountain fold starts (see FIG. 1). When the folding is further continued, the bottom box 4 is finally covered with the upper half portions of the side plates 15 and 16 (see FIG. 9). The right isosceles triangle includes a substantially right isosceles triangle. In the present invention, the “upper half part” and the “lower half part” do not divide the side plate in half in the vertical direction, and the boundary is set at an arbitrary position from the bottom plate 17.

  Moreover, since one side plate 15 among the side plates 15 and 16 not provided with the valley fold line is folded, the protruding portion 7 is formed so as to overlap the opposite side plate 16 (FIGS. 1, 3 and 3). 7 and 9), the overlapping surfaces can be bonded and sealed.

  The adhesive can be applied at the time of folding, but preferably an adhesive layer such as the double-sided tape 8 is provided in advance. As shown in FIG. 8, it is only necessary to peel the separator 8b protecting the adhesive material layer to expose the adhesive surface 8a, thereby eliminating the trouble of preparing an adhesive during folding.

  The application box 1 of the present invention is also designed to be several times larger than the total volume of the application postcard 3 that is actually posted, as in the prior art. The application postcard 3 can be dropped and the postcard 3 can be accommodated smoothly. As a result of dropping the application postcards, the application postcards 3 in the application box 1 are stacked in a disorderly manner, so that the mountains of the application postcards 3 are bulky (see FIG. 5).

  However, unlike the prior art, the application box 1 of the present invention is provided with folding lines 6 that can be folded and covered on the side plates 13, 14, 15, 16 leaving a certain depth from the bottom plate 17. Therefore, when collecting the application postcard 3 after the end of the campaign period, the application postcard 3 is folded and packed in a state of being piled on the bottom plate 17 (see FIG. 6). (See FIG. 9). Therefore, it is very efficient in terms of transportation in the collection process and storage after collection without taking up space. Moreover, since the side plates 13, 14, 15 and 16 are used to cover, there is no possibility of losing the application postcard during transportation. Furthermore, it is not necessary to prepare a separate small box for collection at each store where the application box 1 is installed.

  The application box 1 shown in FIG. 1 has been described above, but the configuration of the application box of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment.

  For example, in the above embodiment, only one of the side plates 15 and 16 that are not provided with the valley fold line has the protruding portion 7, but both the side plates 15 and 16 that are not provided with the valley fold line are provided. Both may have a protrusion 7.

  Moreover, you may make it the side plates 15 and 16 in which the said valley fold line is not provided have the protrusion part 7 (refer FIG. 10). In that case, since the side plates 15 and 16 do not overlap each other, the side plates 15 and 16 are sealed with adhesive tape or the like.

  Further, the fold line 6 of the bottom box 4 is opposed to a mountain fold line that divides the upper half and the lower half of the four side plates 13, 14, 15, 16 and is provided in parallel to the bottom plate 17. The pair of side plates 13 and 14 are provided so as to form an isosceles trapezoid with a base angle of 45 ° by connecting the upper side of each side plate 13 and 14 and both ends of the mountain fold line of each side plate 13 and 14. You may comprise so that at least one may protrude from another side plate among the side plates 15 and 16 which are a valley fold line and are not provided with the said valley fold line (refer FIG. 14).

  Further, the fold line 6 of the bottom box 4 is only a mountain fold line that divides the upper half and the lower half of the four side plates 13, 14, 15, 16 and is provided in parallel to the bottom plate 17. (See FIG. 11). In the case of the configuration shown in this figure, the groove 11 between the four side plates 13, 14, 15, 16 is provided from the upper end to the position where it intersects the mountain fold line, and when the bottom box 4 is folded, the side plate 13 , 14, 15 and 16 serve as flaps to cover the lid (see FIG. 12).

  Furthermore, the application box 1 of the present invention may be other than a box formed by covering the bottom box 4 with the lid box 5. For example, a means similar to the folding of the bottom box 4 may be applied to a box in which the same top plate 12 as in the prior art is integrated (see FIG. 13). In this case, since the lid is newly covered with the side plate at the time of folding, the top plate 12 existing before folding may be removed. Further, perforations or the like may be provided in advance so as to facilitate removal.

  Further, the application box 1 of the present invention may have a home delivery slip 18 or the like attached to the outer surface of the side plate or bottom plate of the box to be collected, or the destination may be printed (see FIG. 9). This further saves the trouble of collecting.

  In addition, the application box 1 of the present invention is not limited to the one for posting an application postcard, and may be one for posting an application form. Further, the present invention may be used for a ballot box for ballot paper and a collection box for questionnaire paper.

  The application box 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention has a lid box 5 (see FIG. 2) having a height and width of 185 mm and a height of 165 mm without a bottom box 4 (see FIG. 3) having a height and width of 180 mm and a depth of 130 mm. Is a 1 mm thick corrugated cardboard box (see FIG. 4), and has a bottom plate 17 on the side plates 13, 14, 15 and 16 of the bottom box 4. A folding line 6 is provided which can be folded and covered with a depth of more than 45 mm. The lid box 5 is provided with an insertion piece 9 at the lower end and the bottom box 4 is provided with an insertion hole 10 having a length of 40 mm. The insertion piece 9 is inserted into the insertion hole 10. Thus, the bottom box 4 is locked in a state of covering the lid box 5.

  The fold line 6 in the bottom box 4 is a mountain fold line (dotted line in the figure) provided by dividing the upper half and the lower half of the four side plates 13, 14, 15, 16 and parallel to the bottom plate 17. In the pair of side plates 13 and 14 facing each other, a valley provided so as to form one right isosceles triangle by connecting the upper side of each side plate 13 and 14 and both ends of the mountain fold line of each side plate 13 and 14. It is a fold line (one-dot chain line in the figure).

  Further, one side plate 15 of the side plates 15 and 16 not provided with the valley fold line is folded to form a 35 mm protruding portion 7 so as to overlap the opposing side plate 16, and the protruding portion 7 A double-sided tape having a width of 20 mm is provided on the inner surface. In addition, a home delivery slip 18 on which the collection destination is printed is pasted on the outer surface of the side plate 15 in advance.

  The application box 1 obtained in this way is a double-sided tape in a state in which a pile of application postcards 3 are bundled and spread on the bottom plate 17 when collecting the application postcards 3 after the campaign period ends (see FIG. 6). The application postcard 3 can be packed in a small package by peeling the separator 8b of 8 and folding the bottom box 4 (see FIG. 9). Therefore, it is very efficient in terms of transportation in the collection process and storage after collection without taking up space. Moreover, since the lid is used with the side plate, there is no risk of losing the application postcard during transportation. Furthermore, it is not necessary to prepare a separate small box for collection at each store where the application box is installed.
