As shown in the development view of FIG. 2, the sheet material 10 includes four side plate portions constituting the outer surface of the packaging body 1. 11a, 11b, 12a, 12b and an internal piece 13 are provided. As for four side plate parts, the 1st side plate parts 11a and 11b and the 2nd side plate parts 12a and 12b are arrange | positioned alternately. That is, the first side plate portion 11a, the second side plate portion 12b, the first side plate portion 11b, the second side plate portion 12b, and the internal piece 13 are connected in the order along the first direction (the X direction in FIG. 2). ing. In addition, the ruled line to which the bendability was given was provided along each part and each piece folded by the package 1, and the folding line engraved so that the thickness of the raw material of the packing member 1 may be about half here 20 is provided.

  Of the four side plate portions, the first side plate portions 11a and 11b are opposed to the upper surface 2a and the lower surface 2b of the article, and thus are formed in a larger plane area than the second side plate portions 12a and 12b. Since the vertical dimensions of the side plates are the same, the width of the first side plates 11a and 11b is longer than the width of the second side plates 12a and 12b. The packing body 1 is formed into a quadrangular cylindrical shape by bending four side plate portions. At this time, the first side plate portion 11a located at the end portion on the side where the internal pieces 13 are not connected is the internal piece 13. Is fixed to the base end (partition wall 13b). It should be noted that an adhesive margin portion may be connected to the first side plate portion 11a, and this adhesive margin portion may be fixed to the second side plate portion 12b.

  An outer flap 15 is connected to both ends of the first side plate portions 11a and 11b on the second direction (Y direction in FIG. 2) side orthogonal to the first direction, and the second side plate portions 12a and 12b are connected to the second side. The inner flaps 16 are connected to both ends on the direction side. Each of the flaps 15 and 16 has a substantially rectangular shape, and is formed to have the same width as the side plate portion to which the flaps are connected. When covering the rectangular tube-shaped opening of the package 1, the pair of inner flaps 16 are folded, and then the pair of outer flaps 15 are folded, so that the inner flaps 16 are covered with the outer flaps 15. Thus, the flaps overlap at the upper and lower openings of the packing body 1 to form the top surface 1a and the bottom surface 1b of the packing body 1.

  The inner piece 13 is bent (folded) inside the rectangular tube shape of the packing body 1, and as shown in FIGS. 1, 3, and 4, a partition wall portion 13 b serving as a base end thereof is a first side plate portion. A portion that overlaps 11a and is bent in parallel with the second side plate portion 12b from the partition wall portion 13b constitutes an inner wall portion 17 that is disposed with a space from the second side plate portion 12b and that contacts the buffer body 2. . The distal end portion 13a of the internal piece 13 serves as an adhesive margin and is fixed to the first side plate portion 11b located at a position away from the partition wall portion 13b (base end) of the internal piece 13. The inner wall portion 17 is provided with a tongue piece portion 18 that is cut and formed in an L-shape when viewed from the side. The tongue piece portion 18 is bent toward the second side plate portion 12b, and a tip end portion 18a of the tongue piece portion 18 is formed. Is glued to the second side plate portion 12b and the tongue piece portion 18 is arranged orthogonal to the second side plate portion 12b. An opening 19 is formed in the inner wall portion 17 by bending the tongue piece portion 18.

  The shock absorber 2 on the side in contact with the inner wall portion 17 is provided with a protrusion 80a having a higher protrusion height than the other protrusions 80 so that it can be inserted into the opening 19 in advance. That is, of the protrusions 80 protruding toward the inner wall 17, the protrusion 80 a having a high protrusion height is inserted into the opening 19, and the top surfaces of the other protrusions 80 are in contact with the inner wall 17. The positions and sizes of the protrusion 80a and the tongue piece 18 are set in advance so that no rattling occurs when the protrusion 80a is inserted into the opening 19.

  According to the said structure, the inner wall part 17 spaced apart from the 2nd side plate part 12b is formed in the inner side of the package 1, and among the buffer bodies 2 arrange | positioned at the right and left of the articles | goods 3, one buffer body 2 is an inner wall part. 17 abuts. Since the inner wall portion 17 is fixed to the first side plate portion 11b by the tip portion 13a of the inner piece 13, and is fixed to the second side plate portion 12b by the tip portion 18a of the tongue piece portion 18, the first side plate portion 11b and this Is supported over both of the second side plate portions 12b intersecting with each other, and the strength of the inner wall portion 17 is increased. That is, in addition to the formation of a space with a predetermined interval between the inner wall portion 17 and the second buffer body 2, the strength of the inner wall portion 17 is increased, so that the space is not easily crushed.

  Since the space between the inner wall portion 17 and the second buffer body 2 is formed corresponding to the corner portion (ridge line portion) 1c of the packing body 1 on the second side plate portion 12b side (so as to cover), Insufficient strength of the buffer body 2 at the portion corresponding to the corner (ridge line portion) 1c of the package 1 is compensated. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the shock absorber 2 from being deformed together with the packing body 1 and causing the article 3 to be damaged when the corner (ridge line portion) 1c of the packing body 1 receives an impact or a load from the outside.

  Further, an inner wall portion parallel to the second side plate portion 12b and a tongue piece portion 18 orthogonal to the second side plate portion 12b are provided in the vicinity of the second side plate portion 12b. In other words, in the vertical direction. Since a plurality of extending surfaces (vertical surfaces) are provided, the strength of the packaging body 1 in the vertical direction can be improved, and the packaging box 100 can be stacked in the vertical direction with confidence.

  Further, since the inner piece 13 for forming the inner wall portion 17 is connected to the second side plate portion 12b and integrated with the packaging body 1, when the packaging body 1 is stored with the article 3 taken out, The packing body 1 can be folded flat with the internal piece 13 included, and can be carried together. And if necessary, when the packing body 1 is folded into the original rectangular tube shape and the article 3 is accommodated, the inner piece 13 can be easily restored to the shape of forming the inner wall portion 17. Therefore, as compared with the case where the inner wall portion 17 is configured separately from the package body 1 (another member is assembled to the package body 1), the storage space is not taken, and loss can be prevented.

  Moreover, since the protrusion 80a of the buffer body 2 is inserted exactly into the opening portion 19 formed by bending the tongue piece portion 18, there is an advantage that the displacement of the buffer body 2 can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, since the buffer body 2 on the side in contact with the inner wall portion 17 is reinforced by the inner wall portion 17, the depth dimension (recessed portion) of the buffer body 2 compared to the buffer body 2 on the side not in contact with the inner wall portion 17. 5) can be shortened, the moldability of the pulp mold can be improved, and the yield and molding accuracy can be increased. In addition, by shortening the depth dimension of the buffer body 2, even if a space is provided between the inner wall portion 17 and the second side plate portion 12 b, it is possible to suppress the entire packaging box 100 from being significantly enlarged. .

  In this embodiment, the tongue piece portion 18 is configured to be bent along a fold line 20 parallel to the second direction (Y direction), but is parallel to the inner wall portion 17 from the upper end to the lower end side. The tongue piece formed by providing the two cuts may be bent along a fold line parallel to the first direction (X direction). Further, although the strength of the inner wall portion 17 is somewhat inferior, the opening portion 19 for inserting the protrusion 80a may be formed by providing a cutout portion in the inner wall portion 17 instead of the tongue piece portion 18.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The packaging body 1 of the second embodiment is formed by connecting and fixing two sheet materials 30a and 30b having the same shape into a rectangular tube shape, and the two second side plate portions 12 disposed opposite to the packaging body 1 are formed. Each has an inner wall portion 17. All the sheet materials 30a (30b) are connected in the order of the first side plate portion 11, the second side plate portion 12, and the inner piece 13 along the first direction (X direction). As shown in FIG. 6, the first side plate portion 11 of one sheet material 30a is fixed to the proximal end of the inner piece 13 of the other sheet material 30b, and the first side plate portion 11 of the other sheet material 30b is Is fixed to the base end of the inner piece 13 of the sheet material 30a. Of course, the adhesive margin may be connected to the first side plate portion 11 of each sheet material 30a, 30b and fixed to the second side plate portion 12 of the mating sheet material.

  In the configuration of the second embodiment, an inner wall portion 17 is provided inside each of the two opposing second side plate portions 12 with a space therebetween, and the buffer bodies 2 that respectively cover the left and right end portions of the article 3 are brought into contact with each other. Therefore, the structure of the inner wall part 17 and the buffer body 2 of 1st Embodiment is formed in the two 2nd side board part 12 side. Therefore, the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be obtained with respect to the two second side plate portions 12.

  Moreover, in 2nd Embodiment, since the two raw material sheets 30a and 30b for comprising the package 1 are the completely same shapes, it can suppress that a component can be made common and a component cost increases.

  Note that the overall shape of the article 3 in use in the above-described embodiment has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape whose height dimension is shorter than the width dimension and the depth dimension, and the front surface 3c of the article 3 is on the top surface 1a side of the packaging body 1.
