Description

  The present invention relates to a storage container having a buffering function that can be fixed in a buffered state without using a cushioning material, and in particular, a storage that can be stored in a buffered state by variously combining two types of cases having different sizes. Concerning the container. In addition, the present invention relates to a cushioning material that can be stored in a container by combining two types of cases having different sizes by using them in a container so as to be buffered.

  When transporting a CD or DVD in a special case, it is necessary to pack the special case in a buffered state in order to protect the contents. There are mainly two methods for placing the case in a buffered state. One is a method of wrapping the case with a cushioning material such as air packing. This method has a problem that each case must be manually wrapped with a cushioning material, and the cost of the cushioning material is increased.

The other is a method of manufacturing a dedicated cardboard packaging container in accordance with the size of the case to be accommodated. For example, the storage container disclosed in Patent Document 1 is provided with a gap in which the case is tightly inserted, and the case is placed in the gap to be in a buffered state. According to this method, since the cushion material is not necessary, the material cost can be suppressed. Further, since no wrapping work is required, work efficiency can be improved.

  However, the storage container of Patent Document 1 has to apply glue to the glued pieces and attach the side walls to each other during assembly, and it is necessary to fold the bottom and both side parts many times. was there. As described above, when assembling the storage container, a gluing operation or a complicated folding operation is required, which hinders improvement in work efficiency.

  Also, the size of the dedicated case for CD and DVD is not limited to one type. There are mainly two types of cases for CDs and DVDs that are generally distributed. One is a type close to a square (about 125 mm × about 142 mm), and the other is a vertically long type (about 191 mm × about 136 mm). Further, when a CD or DVD is shipped for personal use in mail order sales or the like, the above two types of cases may be mixed, and there are various combinations.

  Then, this invention makes it a subject to provide the storage container which can be assembled easily from one sheet | seat, and can accommodate a stored item in a buffered state, without using a cushioning material. It is another object of the present invention to provide a cushioning material that can be stored in a storage container by putting contents of different sizes in a buffered state by using the container in a container.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the storage container according to the present invention has a sheet having a bottom surface, a front surface portion, a side surface portion, and a back surface portion formed from a single sheet, with each side of the bottom surface being a base end. And a front container that folds a sheet connected to the bottom surface from one side to the other with a side of the bottom surface as a base end. A base plate having an outer wall surface and an inner wall surface formed by the base plate, the base plate having a base facing the side facing the outer wall surface of the inner wall surface, and a side facing the side of the base plate contacting the inner wall surface A base plate, and the base plate and the support plate are bent at the boundary portion and housed in the housing portion, thereby serving as a cushioning material for the contained material (Claim 1). . According to this structure, a buffer material can be comprised in a storage part by folding the boundary part of an inner wall face and a baseplate, and the boundary part of a baseplate and a support plate. Thereby, the storage container united with the buffer material can be easily assembled.

  Further, in the storage container, the vicinity of the boundary portion is substantially in contact with the back surface portion, and the base plate is provided with at least one ruled line extending from the right end to the left end of the base plate.

According to such a configuration, the container having a width substantially equal to the distance between the right cut line and the left cut line can be fixed by folding the portion outside the left and right cut lines along the ruled line. it can. Moreover, by inserting the stored item into the cutout portion, the stored item can be stored in a buffered state.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a storage container that can be easily assembled from a single sheet and that can store contents in a buffered state without using a cushioning material. Moreover, the buffer material which can be stored in a container can be provided in the state which buffered the content from which a magnitude | size differs by using in a container.

  The best mode for carrying out the storage container according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the present embodiment, a case will be described in which two different sized cases, a large case and a small case, are stored in a storage container.

  First, the configuration of the storage container 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a storage container 1 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the storage container 1 includes a container body 2, a base plate 3, and a support plate 4. Each of these components will be described in turn.

  The container body 2 is a so-called N-type container and has a known shape. An N-type container has a front surface 6, a side surface portion 26, and a back surface portion 23 formed from a single sheet, with the sides of the bottom surface 8 being the base ends, without using an adhesive or the like. In the container to be formed, the lid portion 5 is composed of a single top surface, and the front surface portion 6 is composed of an outer wall surface 6a and an inner wall surface 6b. The outer wall surface 6a and the inner wall surface 6b are formed by folding a series of sheets. The container main body 2 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped housing portion 7, the lateral width of the housing portion 7 is substantially equal to twice the lateral width (first length) of the small case, and the longitudinal width of the housing portion 7 is that of the small case. It is substantially equal to the vertical width (second length).

  The base plate 3 is a flat plate having the inner surface of the container body 2 as a base end. In the present embodiment, the base plate 3 has a base end near the bottom surface 8 of the inner wall surface 6b among the inner surfaces of the container body 2. The base plate 3 has a right cut line 9 cut inward from the tip edge of the base plate 3 on the right side of the center and a cut inward from the tip edge of the base plate on the left side of the center. Left cut line 10. A ruled line 11 is provided from the front end of the right cut line 9 to the right end of the base plate 3, and a ruled line 12 is provided from the front end of the left cut line 10 to the left end of the base plate 3. The interval between the right cut line 9 and the left cut line 10 is substantially equal to the vertical width (third length) of the large case. Furthermore, the base plate 3 has a notch 13 that extends to the left and right near the center of the base plate 3. The notch portion 13 has flaps 14 extending toward the center portion at both end portions. The flap 14 is formed by a U-shaped cut, and its width is larger than that of the notch 13. A ruled line 15 is provided at the portion connecting the cut ends of the flap 14, and the flap 14 is easily bent. The lateral width of the notch 13 including the flap 14 is substantially equal to the lateral width (first length) of the small case. Further, the base plate 3 is provided with a ruled line 16 from the right end to the left end near the base end of the base plate 3.

  The support plate 4 is a flat plate that is connected to the base end plate 3 at the front end edge of the base plate 3. Further, the support plate 4 is located at a position away from both left and right ends of the front end edge of the base plate 3 and between the right cut line 9 and the left cut line 10. The vertical width of the support plate 4 is slightly larger than the depth of the storage portion 7 and does not fit in the storage portion 7 when the support plate 4 is extended. Therefore, when the support plate 4 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 7, it is necessary to bend the support plate 4 at an acute angle and tilt it slightly obliquely. A ruled line 17 is provided at the boundary between the base plate 3 and the support plate 4.

  The configuration of the storage container 1 has been described above. The small case assumed above is a case having a lateral width (first length) of about 142 mm and a vertical width (second length) of about 125 mm. The large case assumed above is a case with a horizontal width of about 136 mm and a vertical width (third length) of about 191 mm.

  Next, the configuration of the storage container 1 will be further described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 is a development view of the storage container 1 according to the present embodiment. In the drawing, the hatched portions are portions corresponding to the base plate 3 and the support plate 4, and the other portions are portions corresponding to the container body 2. When the hatched portion is removed from FIG. 2, a developed view of an N-type container that can be assembled without using an adhesive or the like is obtained. That is, FIG. 2 shows a hatched portion coupled to an N-type container. Since the assembly method of the N type container is generally known, the assembly method of the front portion 6 coupled to the hatched portion and the hatched portion in the drawing will be described here.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the storage container 1 and shows a state in which the parts of the container body 2 other than the front surface part 6 are assembled. As shown in FIG. 3, an outer wall surface 6a is connected to the outer side of the bottom surface 8, and an inner wall surface 6b is connected to the outer side thereof. That is, the outer wall surface 6a and the inner wall surface 6b are a series of sheets having the bottom surface 8 as a base end. Further, the base plate 3 has the tip of the inner wall surface 6b as a base end, and the support plate 4 is connected to the base plate 3. Two insertion holes 21 are provided in a boundary portion 18 between the bottom surface 8 and the outer wall surface 6a. Further, at a position corresponding to this, a protrusion 22 is provided on the boundary portion 20 between the inner wall surface 6b and the base plate 3. Note that a ruled line is applied to a boundary portion 18 between the bottom surface 8 and the outer wall surface 6a, a boundary portion 19 between the outer wall surface 6a and the inner wall surface 6b, and a boundary portion 20 between the inner wall surface 6b and the base plate 3. In particular, two ruled lines are provided at a boundary portion 19 between the outer wall surface 6a and the inner wall surface 6b. From the state of FIG. 3, the front surface 6 and the base plate 3 of the container body 2 are assembled by folding the portions that are not yet folded.

  FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the storage container 1 and shows a state in which the outer wall surface 6a and the like are bent from the state of FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, first, the outer wall surface 6a is folded at the boundary portion 18 between the bottom surface 8 and the outer wall surface 6a, the inner wall surface 6b is folded back at the boundary portion 19 between the outer wall surface 6a and the inner wall surface 6b, Folded at the boundary 20 between the inner wall surface 6b and the base plate 3. In this state, the protrusion 22 applied to the boundary portion 20 between the inner wall surface 6b and the base plate 3 is changed to the insertion portion 21 (see FIG. 3) applied to the boundary portion 18 between the bottom surface 8 and the outer wall surface 6a. insert. Thereby, the storage container 1 is fixed, and the front surface portion 6 of the storage container 1 is formed by the outer wall surface 6a and the inner wall surface 6b, and the state shown in FIG. 1 is obtained. Note that the boundary between the outer wall 6a and the inner wall 6b must be folded at an acute angle, but the border 19 between the outer wall 6a and the inner wall 6b has two ruled lines. The resistance has been reduced.

  The configuration of the storage container 1 has been further described above through the method for assembling the storage container 1. As described above, the storage container 1 according to the present embodiment can be assembled by simply folding a single sheet without using an adhesive. Therefore, the assembly operation of the storage container 1 can be performed efficiently.

  Next, the usage method of the storage container 1 is demonstrated with reference to FIGS.

  FIGS. 5A and 5B are views of the storage container 1 in a state in which one small case is accommodated, in which FIG. 5A is a plan view and FIG. 5B is a longitudinal sectional view (AA sectional view). As shown in FIG. 5, when accommodating one small case, approximately half the small case is inserted into the notch 13 of the base plate 3. The width of the small case and the width of the notch 13 are substantially equal, and the flaps 15 provided on both sides apply an internal force to the small case, so that the small case is fixed to the base plate 3 in a buffered state. Furthermore, since the boundary portion 17 between the base plate 3 and the support plate 4 is in contact with the back surface 23 and the ruled line 16 provided near the base end of the base plate 3 is bent in the mountain fold direction, the base plate 3 is It is fixed to the storage container 1 in a buffered state.

  6A and 6B are views of a storage container in a state where two small cases are stored, in which FIG. 6A is a plan view, and FIG. 6B is a vertical cross-sectional view (BB cross-sectional view). As shown in FIG. 6A, when two small cases are accommodated, the two small cases are arranged under the base plate 3. Since the lateral width of the accommodating portion 7 of the container body 1 is substantially equal to twice the lateral width of the small case, when two small cases are arranged, they can be accommodated in the accommodating portion 7 with almost no gap on the left and right. At this time, as shown in FIG. 6B, the support plate 4 is in contact with the small case from above. When the lid 5 is closed in this state, a force is applied downward from the support plate 4 to the small case. Thereby, the small case is fixed in a buffered state. In addition, by gently bending the ruled line 16 provided near the base end of the base plate 3, the height near the base end of the space generated under the base plate 3 is increased. Thereby, it is possible to prevent wrinkles generated by contacting the base plate 3 with the case.

  FIGS. 7A and 7B are views of the storage container in a state where one large case is stored, in which FIG. 7A is a plan view, and FIG. 7B is a vertical cross-sectional view (CC cross-sectional view). As shown in FIG. 7 (a), when one large case is accommodated, it is placed under the foundation plate with the wider side lying sideways. In the present embodiment, the vertical width of the large case is larger than the horizontal width. Then, the outer portions of the left and right cut lines 9 and 10 are bent inward along the ruled lines 11 and 12 to form the fixed flaps 24 and 25. Since the distance between the left and right score lines 9 and 10 is substantially equal to the vertical width of the large case, the fixed flaps 24 and 25 limit the movement of the large case in the left-right direction. Further, as shown in FIG. 7B, the support plate 4 is in contact with the large case from above. Therefore, by closing the lid 5, a force is applied downward from the support plate 4 to the large case, and the large case is fixed in a buffered state.

  FIG. 8 is a view of a storage container in which two small cases are stored on a base plate, (a) is a plan view, and (b) is a longitudinal sectional view (DD sectional view). is there. As shown in FIG. 8 (a), when two small cases are accommodated, they can be accommodated under the base plate 3 as shown in FIG. You can also. In this case, as shown in FIG. 8 (b), the small case slightly protrudes upward from the container body 2, but by closing the lid part 5, a force is applied from both the base plate 3 and the lid part 5 to reduce the small case. The case is fixed in a buffered state.

  The housing method shown in FIGS. 5 to 8 is a basic method for housing a case using the storage container according to the present embodiment. By housing the case in this way, two types of cases can be accommodated in one type of storage container. Moreover, when large and small cases coexist, it can be accommodated by combining the above basic shapes. For example, the combination of one small case and one large case can be accommodated by combining FIGS. In the case of a combination of two small cases and two large cases, two large cases are stacked in the state shown in FIG. 7, and then two small cases are arranged horizontally on the base plate 3 as shown in FIG. Can be accommodated.

  The method for using the storage container 1 has been described above. As described above, according to the storage container 1 according to the present embodiment, there are a plurality of basic storage methods for fixing large and small cases in a buffered state, and these can be combined. Therefore, cases having different sizes can be accommodated in various combinations.

  The best mode for carrying out the storage container according to the present invention has been described above with reference to the drawings. Although the case where the base plate and the support plate are integrated with the container main body has been described above, a cushioning material including only the base plate and the support plate may be inserted into another container. According to such a configuration, it is also possible to obtain the same effect as that of the storage container using a generally distributed packaging container.

  According to the present invention, cases having different sizes can be accommodated in various combinations. Therefore, it is useful in the technical field of packaging containers.
