Description

  The present invention relates to a packing apparatus and a packing method using a box for packing an object to be packed, and more particularly, to a packing apparatus and a packing method for storing an instruction manual, a warranty, etc. relating to the object to be packed together with the object to be packed. is there.

  Usually, when distributing a product, the product body is packed in a packing box. The warranty card, instruction manual, etc. of the product are attached to the packaging box together with the product. It is necessary to take out the warranty card etc. from the packaging box at the time of sale of the product, fill in the purchase date and time, the name of the store, etc., and attach it again to the packaging box. Generally, a warranty card or the like is put in a plastic bag and taped to a packing box so as not to get dirty. For this reason, there are disadvantages in that a cost is required to prepare a plastic bag, and the tape is removed and lost.

  Therefore, for example, a conventional technique shown in Patent Document 1 below has been proposed as an improvement of these drawbacks. In this case, a box-shaped shock absorber that communicates with the handle hole is formed in the packing box, and a holding portion for holding a written guarantee or an instruction manual attached to the side surface of the shock absorber is provided. The holding portion includes a clamping piece for clamping the attached document and a hole for inserting the attached document. The attached document is held by the holding portion with its upper end facing the handle hole, and is inserted and removed from the handle hole as necessary.

  In many cases, the product body and its accessories are packed together. As the prior art, one shown in Patent Document 2 below has been proposed. This is a packaging device for storing a ventilation fan body and an accessory grill together, and the grill is disposed above the ventilation fan body and packaged.

  Furthermore, the prior art relating to the packing of the game software disc case of the dedicated game machine and its accessories is disclosed in Patent Document 3 below. This relates to a box for packing a disc case of game software distributed independently together with accessories. Specifically, a disk case storage portion is provided in a manner connected to a lid of a box for storing accessories.

  In the prior art shown in the above-mentioned patent document 1, it is true that attached documents such as warranty cards and instruction manuals can be taken out and stored from the packing box as necessary. However, when storing, it must be inserted into the holding piece and the hole and the upper end must face the handle hole. For this reason, there is a problem in that it cannot be smoothly inserted into the holding piece and the hole, particularly when the attached document is thin or thick. Further, since accessories other than the attached documents were not configured to be stored, it was not possible to store the accessories as they were.

  Moreover, in the prior art shown by the said patent document 2, although a product main body and accessories can be packaged together, only an accessory cannot be taken out after packaging.

  Similarly, in the prior art shown in Patent Document 3 described above, the disk case and its accessories are packed together, but again, only the accessories cannot be taken out after packing. Therefore, in these prior arts, when taking out accessories after being packed, there is a problem in that the packing must be opened and the work is troublesome.

  Of course, as shown in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, there is a conventional technique that enables a document to be taken out after packing. However, even in this conventional technique, a document is placed in a holding piece and a hole that constitute a holding portion using a handle hole. The document that can be used is limited. In addition, since the holding portion is provided only at a portion having a handle hole on the side surface, there is a problem that a holding portion where a document can be freely put in and out cannot be provided at an arbitrary portion.

  Therefore, the present invention provides a novel packing apparatus and packing method that eliminates the conventional drawbacks, in which the contents to be stored in the packing apparatus together with the objects to be packed are not limited in thickness and content, and the take-out position is not limited. The purpose is to provide.
