The other side portions are not dirty.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
1 is a perspective view of a packaging device showing a packaging state of an electric water heater or the like according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 3 and 3 are perspective views before assembly of the upper box body of the packaging device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
1-3, the lower part of the installation leg 2a formed in the bottom face of the to-be-packaged body 2, such as an electric water heater, is fixed to the upper surface of the bottom skid 1 made of wood or the like in a cross-beam shape by bolting or the like. ing.
In addition, the cushioning material 3 that protects the upper left and right corners of the packaged body 2 is provided at least on the left and right sides, and is formed of cardboard or the like so that the upper and lower sides are opened. The bottom surface is opened, and the periphery of the packaged body 2 is covered with the upper box 5 that covers the upper part of the packaged body 2.
The top surface of the upper box 5 is closed by overlapping and bending the opposing inner flap 5a and outer flap 5b, and the top surface is sealed by applying sealing tape 6 so as to straddle the butted portion of the outer flap 5b. is doing. A cover member 7 formed of corrugated cardboard or the like is circumscribed on the outer surface of one side surface portion 5c of the four side surface portions 5c, 5c, 5d, and 5d of the upper box body 5 that is in contact with the inner surface. The entire outer periphery of these structures is fastened with a band 8.

4 and 5 are a developed view and an assembled perspective view of the cover member 7. 4 and 5, as shown in FIG. 4, the cover member 7 is formed with a notch 7e that divides the presser piece 7c and further spans the loading platform contact surface 7b that is the mounting surface. The winding piece 7d is connected to the opposite side where the folding line 7a is provided. As shown in FIG. 5, the load carrier contact surface 7 b and the winding piece 7 d are opposed to each other by folding from the fold line 7 a of the cover member 7, and the open side end portion of the side surface portion 5 c of the upper box body 5 is sandwiched. By inserting the presser piece 7c bent along the fold line 7a between the inner flap 5a and the outer flap 5b of the top surface structure of the upper box body 5 by the locking action, The circumscribed structure of the cover member 7 with respect to 5c is maintained.
A notch 7e formed from the pressing piece 7c to the loading platform contact surface 7b prevents the sealing tape 6 that closes the top surface of the upper box 5 from being attached to the cover member 7, and is sandwiched between the inner flap 5a and the outer flap 5b. It is easy to pull out the presser piece 7c.
Further, when the packaging device is transported and stored in a normal posture, the thickness of the cover member 7 is, for example, 3 to 5 mm, so that it can be carried out without deteriorating the efficiency of the storage space and the stacking state. .

  In the packaging device such as the electric water heater shown in FIG. 1, the packaging height reaches, for example, 2300 mm, and in the 4 ton truck with a box-type cargo bed structure, the cargo bed space height is around 2000 mm. As shown, it is transported on its side. In this state, the mass of the packaged body 2 is dispersed and supported by the bottom skid 1 and the cushioning material 3. A load applied via the cushioning material 3 is transmitted from the contact surface of the cushioning material 3 to the cover member 7 through the rectangular tube 4 and the upper box 5. The bottom skid 1 and the cover member 7 that support the load from the packaged body 2 by the vibration on the truck bed during transportation and the lateral shifting operation during loading and unloading repeat the sliding contact with the truck bed. As a result, the dirt adhering to the truck bed shifts to the load support surface, and the bottom skid 1 and the cover member 7 are damaged. Although the degree of fouling differs depending on the degree of fouling of the truck bed, the fouling is not noticeable on the wood surface of the bottom skid 1, and the fouling state is remarkable on the surface of the cover member 7 formed of cardboard or the like. A rectangular cylinder 4 made of corrugated cardboard or the like also forms a contact surface with the truck bed in a lying state, but there is no pressing force against the bed so that no fouling occurs.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the cover member 7 has a structure in which the pressing piece 7 c is sandwiched between the top surface inner flap 5 a and the outer flap 5 b of the upper box body 5, so that it can be easily pulled out to the loading platform contact surface 7 b side. It is possible to separate from the upper box 5 by pulling out the winding piece 7d in the direction of the open end of the side surface 5c of the upper box 5 after pulling out the holding piece 7c. Accordingly, when the final transportation of the transportation route is completed, the cover member 7 is separated and removed by this method, so that the cover member 7 that has caused the sliding contamination through the contact surface of the cushioning material 3 is removed, and the normal posture is obtained. The package appearance in the returned state can be delivered with no fouling.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, the bottom skid 1 that covers the bottom of the package body 2, the rectangular tube body 4 that covers the side surface of the package body 2, and the bottom surface are opened.
