Description

  The present invention relates to a packing member on which a plurality of items to be packed can be placed and a packing box using the packing member.

  Generally, a product or a product is packaged at the time of shipment or transportation of the product or the product for the purpose of preventing a decrease in value, safety, or the like due to damage to the product or the product. For example, it is widely performed regardless of fields such as image forming apparatuses, electrical products, machine tools, food and drinks, and miscellaneous goods.

  Furthermore, in order to efficiently transport products or commodities, a plurality of items to be packed are taken as one unit and collected in one package. For example, when shipping an image forming apparatus or an electrical product, not only the apparatus main body but also instructions and members used at the same time are collected in one package, or a plurality of consumables required for equipment maintenance, etc. Such packaging is carried out in various fields because there is no time to enumerate the members in one package.

  Then, as a method of packing a plurality of objects to be packed together, there may be a mode in which a plurality of objects to be packed are placed on a packing tray whose upper surface is opened. In this case, although there is an advantage that a plurality of objects to be packed can be carried simultaneously, there is a problem that it is necessary to prevent the loaded objects to be packed from collapsing.

Therefore, a packaging tray described in Patent Document 1 has been proposed in order to solve such a problem. The packaging tray described in Patent Document 1 is provided with a tabular surface that stands upright on both sides, and a folded portion from the tabular surface to the side surface, and cuts at one or a plurality of locations from each end of the folded portion to the tabular surface. The hook surface and the folded portion are bent at an arbitrary height. With this configuration, the claw surface is folded back to prevent collapse of the load, and the claw surface is bent at a height where the number of packages is reduced, so that repacking is easy.

  Although the packaging tray described in Patent Document 1 has the above-described advantages, there is a problem in that it does not include any cushioning member and is vulnerable to external impact. Note that the packaging tray described in Patent Document 1 mainly assumes the packaging of photosensitive paper, but even if it is photosensitive paper, if the packaging tray described in Patent Document 1 is used, the photosensitive paper will be subjected to an impact from the outside. In addition, there is a problem that cargo collapse may occur due to an external impact.

  Further, the packaging tray described in Patent Document 1 has a problem that once it is unpacked (the film is broken, the band tape is peeled off, etc.), the package collapses easily until repacking. If the load collapses, the packaged item may be damaged due to dropping or the like. Therefore, in the unpacked state, it is clearly difficult to carry a plurality of items to be packed at the same time.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems of the prior art, and can simultaneously carry a plurality of items to be packed without causing collapse of goods, and can efficiently take out the items to be packed from the packing box. An object of the present invention is to provide a packaging member that prevents damage due to dropping of an object to be packed and that is resistant to external impacts. Furthermore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a packaging box in which a plurality of items to be packed can be efficiently and easily taken out by using this packaging member.

  In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 is a packing member on which a plurality of objects to be packed can be placed, and a plurality of buffer members for storing the objects to be packed and protecting them from an impact. A packing tray having a box shape with an open top surface, and the packing tray can be placed in parallel with a plurality of the buffer members, and the plurality of buffer members arranged in parallel are It was decided to be supported by the side walls in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction of the packaging tray.

  The invention according to claim 2 is the invention according to claim 1, wherein the packing tray is provided with a grip portion, and the grip portion can be bent.

  The invention according to claim 3 is the invention according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the plurality of buffer members are integrated by one or a plurality of coupling members and placed on the packing tray in an integrated state. It was decided.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the packaging box, one or more packaging members according to any one of the first to third aspects are stacked and arranged.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, since a plurality of items to be packed are placed on the packing member, a plurality of items to be packed can be transported at a time. Furthermore, when the above-described packing member is stored in a packing box, it is easier to remove a plurality of packing objects at once by removing the packing member from the packing box, compared to when storing a plurality of packing objects separately in the packing box. It can be taken out and the packaged item can be taken out efficiently.

  In addition, since the object to be packed is protected by the buffer member, a packing member resistant to impact is provided. In addition, after protecting each packaged item individually with a buffer member, the buffer member is removed when the packaged item is taken out from the package box as compared to storing the packaged item individually in the package box. There is no possibility that the packaged item is accidentally dropped and damaged. In addition, since the buffer member is supported by the side wall portion of the packing tray, no load collapse occurs.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the grip portion is provided on the packing tray, it is easy to carry, and since the grip portion can be bent, the packing members can be easily stacked. Furthermore, when packing members are stacked and stored in a packing box, a necessary space can be reduced and packing can be performed efficiently.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the plurality of buffer members are integrated by the coupling member and then placed on the packing tray, the collapse of the load is further less likely to occur. Further, the buffer member may be placed on the packing tray in an integrated state, and the packing operation becomes easier than the case where the buffer member is individually placed in parallel on the packing tray.

  According to invention of Claim 4, since the packaging member of Claims 1 thru | or 3 is accommodated in the inside of a packaging box, at the time of unpacking, several to-be-packaged goods can be efficiently carried out simultaneously and easily. It can be taken out. Moreover, the packaged item is not dropped. Furthermore, there is no space loss even if the packaging members are stacked.

  And as shown in FIG. 3, the packaging tray 2 is a plane before an assembly, for example, is formed by the punching process of a cardboard. In addition, the triangle 5 provided in the approximate center part of the packing tray 2 in FIG. 3 is for a subsequent assembly. The packaging member 1 can be easily assembled by matching the direction of the triangle 5 provided on each member as a mark. The triangle 5 is similarly marked in other drawings.

  As shown by a broken line in FIG. 3, a plurality of bent portions 23 are formed to form the packing tray 2. Here, each bending part 23 is defined. A bent portion 23 is formed in a direction perpendicular to the front and rear side wall directions. The first bent portion 231, the second bent portions 232 ′, 232, and the third bent portion are sequentially arranged from the front side wall 210 toward the rear side wall 211. A bent portion 233, a fourth bent portion 234, a fifth bent portion 235, 235 ', and a sixth bent portion 236 are provided. On the other hand, a total of four bent portions 23 are formed in a direction parallel to the front and rear side wall directions. The lower left bent portion 23 in FIG. 3 is the seventh bent portion 237, and the upper left bent portion 23 is the first bent portion 23. The eighth bent portion 238, the lower right bent portion 23 is referred to as a ninth bent portion 239, and the upper right bent portion 23 is referred to as a tenth bent portion 230. Although the second bent portions 232 and 232 ′ are formed in a direction perpendicular to the front and rear side wall directions but are formed in parallel and in the vicinity, the second bent portions are combined. In order to distinguish them, the codes are different from 232 and 232 ′. The same applies to the fifth bent portions 235 and 235 ′.

  Hereinafter, each part in the packing tray 2 will be described. First, an area surrounded by the third bent portion 233, the fourth bent portion 234, the seventh bent portion 237, the eighth bent portion 238, the ninth bent portion 239, and the tenth bent portion 230 is When the packaging tray 2 is assembled, the bottom surface 20 of the packaging tray 2 is formed.

  Next, the packaging tray 2 is provided with a left side wall forming portion 24 a in a region located in the rear side wall direction from the third bent portion 233 and in the left side wall direction from the seventh bent portion 237. . Further, the left side wall folding surface 25a is connected with a part of the left side wall forming part 24a and the third bent part 233 as a boundary.

  Similarly, the left side wall forming part 24b is provided in a region located in the front side wall direction from the fourth bent part 234 and in the left side wall direction from the eighth bent part 238. Further, the left side wall folding surface 25b is connected with a part of the left side wall forming part 24b and the fourth bent part 234 as a boundary.

  Further, the packing tray 2 is provided with a right side wall forming portion 26 a in a region located in the rear side wall direction from the third bent portion 233 and in the right side wall direction from the ninth bent portion 239. Further, the right side wall folding surface 27a is connected with the right side wall forming portion 26a and a part of the third bent portion 233 as a boundary.

  Similarly, the right side wall forming part 26b is provided in a region located in the front side wall direction from the fourth bent part 234 and in the right side wall direction from the tenth bent part 230. Further, the right side wall folding surface 27b is connected with a part of the right side wall forming portion 26b and the fourth bent portion 234 as a boundary.

  And the front side wall formation part 28 is provided in the area | region enclosed by the 2nd bending part 232, the 3rd bending part 233, the left side wall folding surface 25a, and the right side wall folding surface 27a. A region from the second bent portion 232 ′ to the end portion in the front side wall direction of the packaging tray 2 is a front side wall folding surface 29. The front side wall folding surface 29 is provided with a cut 30 for forming the grip portion 22a by cutting and raising. As shown in FIG. 3, the cut 30 is formed in a U shape so as to connect the second bent portion 232 from the middle to the middle.

  Similarly, the rear side wall forming portion 31 is provided in a region surrounded by the fourth bent portion 234, the fifth bent portion 235, the left side wall folding surface 25b, and the right side wall folding surface 27b. A region from the fifth bent portion 235 ′ to the end portion in the rear wall direction of the packaging tray 2 is a rear wall folding surface 32. The rear side wall folding surface 32 is provided with a notch 33 for forming the grip portion 22b by cutting and raising. As shown in FIG. 3, the cut 33 is formed in an inverted U shape so as to connect from the middle to the middle of the fifth bent portion 235.

  The first bent portion 231 and the sixth bent portion 236 are for forming the gripping portions 22 a and 22 b of the packing tray 2. In the present embodiment, the gripping portion forming folded portions 34 and 35 located in the center direction of the packaging tray 2 from the first bent portion 231 or the sixth bent portion 236 are folded back toward the front as viewed from the paper surface in FIG.

  Note that the interval A indicated by the arrow in FIG. 3 has substantially the same length. This is because it is necessary for assembling the packaging tray 2 accurately. That is, if this distance A is not the same, it cannot be bent along each bent portion 23 or the packaging tray 2 cannot be assembled cleanly.

  Next, the assembly of the packaging tray 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5 show only the front side wall 210 portion. This is because the packaging tray 2 is assembled in the same manner at the front side wall 210 portion and the rear side wall 211 portion. Therefore, the drawing of the rear side wall 211 portion is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, in assembling the packaging tray 2, first, the left side wall forming part 24 a along the seventh bent part 237 and the right side wall forming part along the ninth bent part 239. 26a is bent so as to be in an upright state. By bending the left side wall forming part 24a and the right side wall forming part 26a, the left side wall folding surface 25a and the right side wall folding surface 27a are brought into an upright state together with them.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), the left side wall folding surface 25a is bent along the third folding portion 233 in the portion connected to the left side wall folding surface 25a and the left side wall forming portion 24a. It bends so that it may be on the 3rd bending part 233 of a state which is not. Similarly, the right side wall folding surface 27a is bent so as to be on the third bent portion 233 that is not bent. Thereby, the left side wall forming part 24 a forms the left side wall 212 a in the packaging tray 2, and the right side wall forming part 26 a forms the right side wall 213 a in the packaging tray 2.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 4C, the front side wall forming part 28 and the front side wall folding surface 29 are bent so as to stand upright along the third bent part 233. Thereby, the front side wall formation part 28 forms the front side wall 210 in the packaging tray 2. Although not visible, the left side wall folding surface 25 a and the right side wall folding surface 27 a are in contact with the front side wall forming portion 28.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 5A, the front side wall folding surface 29 is bent about 180 degrees along the second bent portions 232 and 232 ′ without bending the grip portion 22a. Here, as apparent from FIG. 5A, the interval between the second bent portions 232 and 232 ′ is such that the right side wall folded surface 27a and the left side wall folded surface 25a are bent with the front side wall forming portion 28. Necessary for sandwiching between the front side wall folding surface 29. In other words, the distance between the second bent portions 232 and 232 ′ is the thickness of the front side wall 210. Generally, packing materials such as cardboard have elasticity to return to the state before bending, but the left side wall 212a and the right side wall 213a are maintained in an upright state by being sandwiched in this way. It should be noted that the folding of the grip part forming folded part 34 along the first bent part 231 is not particularly hindered in assembly at any stage, but is performed at the stage shown in FIG. Also good. Thereby, the carrier can carry the packing tray 2 easily (see FIG. 2).

  And as shown in FIG.5 (b), the holding part 22a can also be bent along the 2nd bending part 232 until the holding part 22a becomes horizontal at least. By folding the gripping portion 22a in this manner, the gripping portion 22a does not get in the way when the same packing tray 2 is stacked. Therefore, the space required for transportation, transportation, etc. can be minimized.

  Here, reference is also made to assembly in the rear side wall 211 portion. The assembly method is basically the same as that of the front side wall 210 portion. Assembling of the rear side wall 211 portion is first performed so that the left side wall forming part 24b along the eighth bent part 238 and the right side wall forming part 26b along the tenth bent part 230 are in an upright state. It can be bent. Next, on the fourth bent portion 234 in a state where the left wall folded surface 25b is not bent along the fourth bent portion 234 in the portion connected to the left wall folded surface 25b and the left wall forming portion 24b. It is bent so that it comes to. Similarly, the right side wall folding surface 27b is bent so as to be on the fourth bent portion 234 that is not bent.

  Next, the rear side wall forming part 31 and the rear side wall folding surface 32 are bent so as to stand upright along the fourth bent part 234. Next, the rear side wall folding surface 32 is bent about 180 degrees along the fifth bent portions 235 and 235 ′ without bending the grip portion 22b. It should be noted that there is no particular problem in assembling regardless of which stage the bending part forming folded part 35 is bent along the sixth bent part 236. Furthermore, since the gripping portion 22b can be bent along the fifth bent portion 235, the gripping portion 22b is obstructed when the same packing tray 2 is stacked by folding the gripping portion 22b as necessary. It will not become.

  Next, based on FIG.6 and FIG.7, the buffer member 3 used for 1st this embodiment is demonstrated. 6A and 6B are development views as seen from the surface direction of the buffer member 3 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIGS. 7A and 7B are perspective views for explaining the assembly of the buffer member 3 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the buffer member 3 is on a plane before assembly, and is formed by, for example, punching of corrugated cardboard. 6 (a) and 6 (b), the two buffer member bent portions 40a and 40b are parallel to each other in the left-right direction, and the buffer member bent portions 41a and 41b are parallel to each other in the vertical direction. In parallel, two are provided in parallel. Then, the buffer member 3 is bent toward the front side as viewed from the paper surface. That is, the buffer member 3 having an open upper surface is assembled by bending the four buffer member folding surfaces 42, 43, 44, and 45.

  6 (a) and 6 (b), as indicated by arrows, the intervals B and B 'on the buffer member return surfaces 42, 43, 44, and 45 have the same length. This is to make the height after assembling the buffer member 3 the same. The intervals C and C ′ shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B are different in length. This difference in length is the difference between the buffer members 3 shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b). This length can be appropriately changed depending on the size of the packaged item, and in the present embodiment, a different mode is shown as an example. Note that the interval D and the interval D ′ are substantially the same. As will be described in detail later, this is because when the buffer member 3 is placed on the packaging tray 2, the buffer member 3 is accurately placed in the packaging tray 2.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the buffer member 3 is cut out in substantially H shape in two places. The two cutouts 46 are provided so as to be parallel in the vertical direction of FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b). Further, the cutout 46 is slightly longer than the intervals C and C ′. By making this cut-out 46, four protrusions 47 are formed on the buffer member 3. The protrusion 47 forms a foot 47 'when the buffer member folding surfaces 42, 43, 44, 45 are bent. And the fitting part 48 for fitting with the coupling member 4 explained in full detail later is formed in the right-and-left both ends of this protrusion 47. As shown in FIG. Note that the substantially H-shaped cutout 46 is not limited to two, and may be one or more.

  Next, the assembly of the buffer member 3 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 7A, the four buffer member folding surfaces 42, 43, 44, and 45 are bent along the buffer member folding portions 40a, 40b, 41a, and 41b. In this case, there is no order for the folding, and the buffer member folding surfaces 42, 43, 44, and 45 may be bent sequentially. Then, as shown in FIG. 7B, the buffer member 3 is assembled by bending the buffer member folding surfaces 42, 43, 44, 45 so as to stand upright. Here, of the four buffer member folding surfaces 42, 43, 44, 45, two folding pieces 49 are provided on each of the two buffer member folding surfaces 43, 45, and the folding pieces 49 are also buffered. Fulfills the function. Further, as described above, four foot portions 47 ′ are formed for each buffer member 3 in the present embodiment. In this way, the assembly of the buffer member 3 is completed.

  Next, based on FIG. 8, the coupling member 4 used for this embodiment is demonstrated. FIG. 8A is a development view seen from the surface direction of the buffer member 3 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 8B is a perspective view showing the assembled state of the coupling member 4.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, the coupling member 4 is on a plane before assembly, and is formed by, for example, a corrugated cardboard punching process. And as shown with a broken line in Fig.8 (a), the two coupling member bending parts 50a and 50b are provided in parallel. And the coupling member 4 bend | folds two coupling member folding | returning surfaces 51 and 52 to the near side seeing from the paper surface along coupling member bending part 50a, 50b. In this way, the coupling member 4 is assembled.

  The two coupling member folding surfaces 51 and 52 are symmetrical in the vertical direction. The coupling member folding surfaces 51 and 52 are provided with a plurality of protrusions 53 and recesses 54 and a stepped portion 55. This is because the recesses 54 and the fitting portions 48 of the buffer member 3 are fitted together when the plurality of buffer members 3 are integrated by the coupling member 4. Further, the protrusion 53 supports the buffer member 3 so as to sandwich the buffer member folding surfaces 42 and 44 of the buffer member 3, and integrates the plurality of buffer members 3 together. Furthermore, the step-shaped portion 55 comes into contact with the packaged item. In this way, by providing a plurality of protrusions 53 and recesses 54 as shown in FIG. 8, the buffer members 3 of various sizes can be combined and integrated. Further, if the sizes of the buffer member 3 and the coupling member 4 are appropriately changed, it is possible to deal with various sizes of articles to be packed.

  And as shown in FIG.8 (b), the coupling member 4 in this embodiment is substantially cross-sectional in that the two coupling member folding surfaces 51 and 52 are bent along the coupling member bending parts 50a and 50b. It is assembled in a U shape. Note that the coupling member 4 is not limited to the shape shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, and can be appropriately designed depending on the buffer member 3 and the packaged object.

  Next, based on FIG. 9 (a) and (b), the assembly of the packaging member 1 which concerns on the 1st Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. FIG. 9A is a plan view in which the plurality of buffer members 3 and the coupling member 4 are integrated and viewed from the upper surface direction. FIG. 9B is a perspective view when the plurality of buffer members 3 and the coupling member 4 are integrated.

  As shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the coupling member 4 has a plurality of buffer members 3 placed in parallel so as to be adjacent to each other. In this embodiment, the three buffer members 3 are arranged on the upper side, and the two coupling members 4 are fitted to the buffer member 3 from below. Each buffer member 3 has substantially the same length in the left-right direction in FIG. This is because it is placed on the packing tray 2 after that, so that its size matches that of the packing tray 2 (see FIG. 1).

  And the width | variety of the recessed part 54 (refer FIG. 8) provided in the coupling member 4 can engage | insert the buffer member return surfaces 42 and 44 of each buffer member 3 arrange | positioned side by side together. In this way, the plurality of buffer members 3 are integrated, and the number of recesses 54 to be provided can be reduced. Further, the foot 47 'of each buffer member 3 is sandwiched between the coupling member folding surfaces 51 and 52, respectively. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the positions of the foot 47 'and the fitting portion 48 (see FIGS. 6 and 7) of each buffer member 3 are such that the foot 47' is sandwiched between the coupling member folding surfaces 51 and 52. So as to match. In addition, if the direction of the triangle 5 is made to coincide at the time of the work of fitting each buffer member 3 and the coupling member 4, the work will be efficiently performed without being fitted by mistake.

  As shown in FIG. 9B, in the state where the coupling member 4 and the buffer member 3 are integrated, the buffer member 3 is held in a floating state, so that the impact in the vertical direction on the packaged item is buffered. To do. Further, the four end portions in the horizontal direction of the coupling member 4 are formed as buffer portions 56 so as to extend in the upper surface direction (see FIG. 8). The buffer portion 56 sandwiches the buffer members 3 arranged in parallel, and holds the buffer member 3 reliably, and mainly has a function of buffering an impact in the horizontal direction against an object to be packed.

  The assembly of the packaging member 1 is completed by integrating the plurality of buffer members 3 and the coupling member 4 and placing the integrated buffer member 3 on the above-described packaging tray 2 (see FIG. 1). Side walls 21 on the front, rear, left and right of the packaging tray 2 surround the plurality of buffer members 3. That is, the buffer members 3 arranged in parallel are supported by the front, rear, left and right side walls 21 of the packaging tray 2 (see FIG. 1).

  In this way, the plurality of buffer members 3 are placed in parallel on the plurality of buffer members 3 for storing the articles to be packed and protecting them from impact and the box-shaped packing tray 2 having an upper surface opened. If the plurality of buffer members 3 arranged in parallel are supported by the side wall portions 21 in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction of the packing tray 2, a plurality of items to be packed are placed on the packing member 1. Therefore, a plurality of items can be transported at one time. Further, when the above packing member 1 is stored in the packing box 6, the packing member 1 according to this embodiment is taken out from the packing box 6 as compared with the case where a plurality of objects to be packed are stored in the packing box 6 separately. Thus, a plurality of objects to be packed can be easily taken out at a time, and the objects to be packed can be efficiently taken out at the time of unpacking. Further, since the object to be packed is protected by the buffer member 3, the packing member 1 which is resistant to impact is provided, and furthermore, the plurality of objects to be packed are individually protected by the buffer member 3 and then individually covered. Compared with the case where the packaged item is stored in the package box 6, it is possible to prevent the buffer member 3 from coming off and accidentally dropping the packaged item when the packaged item is taken out from the package box 6. In addition, since the buffer member 3 is supported by the side wall portion 21 of the packing tray 2, no load collapse occurs.

  The packing tray 2 is provided with gripping portions 22a and 22b, so that it is easy to carry. If the gripping portions 22a and 22b can be bent, the packing members 1 can be easily stacked without the gripping portions 22a and 22b being in the way. Further, when the packing members 1 are stacked and stored in the packing box 6, the space required for packing can be reduced and packing can be performed efficiently.

  Further, if the plurality of buffer members 3 are integrated by one or a plurality of coupling members 4 and placed on the packing tray 2 in an integrated state, the plurality of buffer members 3 are combined with the coupling members 4. Since it is united by (1) and placed on the packing tray 2, the collapse of the cargo is less likely to occur. Further, the buffer member 3 may be placed on the packing tray 2 in an integrated state, and the packing operation becomes easier than the case where the buffer members 3 are placed individually on the packing tray 2 in parallel.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing an outline of the packaging according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

  In the second embodiment of the present invention, the packaging member 1 according to the first embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9 can be used in the present embodiment, so that the description of the common configuration will be given. Omitted.

  In the present embodiment, a plurality of packing members 1 are stacked and stored in a packing box 6. For example, cardboard can be used for the packaging box 6 according to the present embodiment. Further, the packing box 6 has an open top surface before packing the packing member 1. The shape of the packing box 6 can be a cubic shape. The size of the opening surface of the packaging box 6 is substantially the same as the size of the packaging member 1 in the horizontal plane, so that the stored packaging member 1 does not move greatly inside the packaging box 6. .

  On the other hand, the packaging member 1 shown in FIG. 10 shows a state in which the packaging tray 2 is viewed from the left rear direction, and there are two packaging members 1 accommodated in the packaging box 6 in the present embodiment. These two packing members 1 have the same or substantially the same shape. The packing member 1 accommodates a plurality of items to be packed, and has a lid 61 on the upper surface. By using the lid 61, the packing member 1 can be stably stacked. Further, since the gripping portions 22a and 22b of the packing member 1 are bent, the gripping portions 22a and 22b do not interfere with the stacking, and the space required for packing can be minimized. , Transportation costs can be reduced. When the packaging member 1 is stored in the packaging box 6, the cushioning member folding surfaces 43 and 45 of the cushioning member 3 are disposed in the front and rear wall directions of the packaging tray 2, and the coupling member 4 is disposed in the left and right wall directions and the vertical direction. It mainly cushions external impacts.

  A more specific example is shown about the member packed by the packing member 1. FIG. Here, as an example, a case where members such as consumables of the image forming apparatus are assembled and packed will be described. This is a so-called maintenance kit. In this embodiment, the packing member 1 uses three buffer members 3 per one. Therefore, since two packing members 1 are used, the number of objects to be packaged wrapped in the buffer member 3 is at least six.

  As the package, the packaging member 1 in FIG. 10 is invisible because it is covered, but in this embodiment, there are four cleaning units, one development unit, and one transfer unit. .

  Here, which packing material is stored in which buffer member 3 is determined by a balance between factors such as the specification, size, and shape of each member and the size of the buffer member 3. Is not constant. Further, the items to be packed as a maintenance kit are not limited to these, and items other than the members described above may be packed. Moreover, in this embodiment, although the two packing members 1 are stacked, if the packing box 6 is enlarged in the vertical direction, it is possible to further stack one or more packing members 1. Furthermore, the packing box 6 can be enlarged in the front-rear and left-right directions so that the packing members 1 are arranged in parallel, and the packing members 1 can be stacked on the packing members 1. By doing so, it is possible to collect and pack more objects to be packed. Moreover, the packaging member 1 according to the present embodiment can be stacked in a plurality of packaging members 1 or arranged in parallel to increase the total weight, and even if the packaged item is easily damaged or broken, the packaging member 1 is subject to up / down / front / back / left / right directions. Since it has a function of buffering against impacts from all directions, the object to be packed can be sufficiently protected.

  As described above, when one or more stacking members 1 according to the second embodiment of the present invention are stacked and arranged in the packing box 6, a plurality of items to be packed can be efficiently and at the same time unpacked. And it can take out easily and it will not drop a to-be-packaged object. Furthermore, there is no space loss even if the packing members 1 are stacked.

  The present invention can be used in a tray-shaped packing member and a packing box using the same.
