(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a product storage box that stores different types of products. In the present embodiment, whiskey miniature bottles 2 and flat confectionery boxes 3 are assumed as examples of products to be stored in the product storage box 1, but any product having different shapes can be used. It may be a combination.

  The product storage box 1 is a rectangular parallelepiped paper box, and is mainly composed of a box body 1a and a plurality of flaps 1b to 1d provided in the upper opening. Inside the box body 1a, an internal space is provided for storing commodities. An opening window 1e for visually recognizing the display attached to the product itself is formed below the front surface of the box body 1a. A pair of inner flaps 1b and 1c are provided on the left and right of the upper opening of the box body 1a, and an outer flap 1d is provided behind them. The outer flap 1d is provided with an insertion piece 1f for insertion into the box body 1a. Although details will be described later, the feature of the present embodiment is the shape of the tip of the insertion piece 1f.

  The miniature bottle 2 and the confectionery box 3 which are products to be accommodated are set in a paper partition plate 4 and then accommodated in the box body 1a. Here, the outer diameter Φ of the miniature bottle 2 is substantially equal to the depth W of the box body 1a. Therefore, the movement of the miniature bottle 2 accommodated in the box body 1a in the direction of the depth W is restricted by the front and rear surfaces of the box body 1a. On the other hand, since the thickness w of the confectionery box 3 is smaller than the depth W of the box body 1a, the stored confectionery box 3 moves in the direction of the depth W as it is. Therefore, in order to restrict this movement, a spacer 4a is provided on the partition plate 4, and the confectionery box 3 is positioned on the front side of the box body 1a by the spacer 4a (see FIG. 3).

  FIG. 2 is a plan development view of the commodity storage box 1 according to the present embodiment. The product storage box 1 is formed by cutting out a piece of cardboard and bonding the adhesive margin 1g. The front surface portion 1h is connected to the right side surface portion 1i via the right folding line, the glue margin portion 1g via the left folding curve, and the one-touch bottom piece 1j via the lower folding curve. In addition, the above-described opening window 1e is formed below the center of the front surface portion 1h. This one-touch bottom piece 1j engages with the other one-touch bottom pieces 1k to 1m to form the bottom of the box body 1a. The right side surface portion 1i connected to the front surface portion 1h is connected to the inner flap 1c via the upper folding curve and the one-touch bottom piece 1k via the lower folding curve, and the rear side via the right folding curve. It is connected to the surface portion 1n. This rear surface portion 1n is connected to the outer flap 1d via the upper folding curve and to the one-touch bottom piece 11 via the lower folding curve, and to the left side surface 1o via the right folding curve. Yes. The left side surface portion 1o is connected to the inner flap 1b via the upper folding curve and the one-touch bottom piece 1m via the lower folding curve, and is bonded to the glue margin 1g. The outer flap 1d is connected to the insertion piece 1f via an upper folding line, and the flap 1b to 1d are linked to constitute an opening / closing portion of the commodity storage box 1.

  Here, with respect to the insertion piece 1f of the outer flap 1d, the distance from the root to the tip (hereinafter referred to as “insertion height”) is not constant, but has a tip shape that continuously changes. . Specifically, the insertion piece 1f has a protrusion A having the largest insertion height. The protrusion A is provided at a position deviated from the center of the insertion piece 1f. Moreover, the insertion piece 1f has the inclination part B (long inclination part) which an edge part inclines and extends so that insertion height may become small gradually toward one side from the protrusion part A as a starting point. In the present embodiment, the inclined portion B is inclined while being curved in a convex shape toward the distal end side of the insertion piece 1f. Although not an essential constituent element of the present invention, in the present embodiment, the edge extends in an inclined manner (short inclined portion) even when the protruding portion A is directed to the other side. In addition, the protrusion part A is provided so that it may be located inside a pair of inner flap 1b, 1c, when inserting the insertion piece 1f in the box main body 1a.

  FIG. 3 is a view showing the product storage box 1 with the outer flap 1d opened. In the vicinity of the opening of the box body 1a, there is an insertion space for inserting the insertion piece 1f of the outer flap 1d. However, the insertion width of this insertion space is not constant, and has two insertion spaces c1 and c2 having different insertion widths due to the difference in shape of the accommodated products. The first insertion space c1 is a gap formed between the outer surface of the miniature bottle 2 and the inner surface of the box body 1a. In general, since the outer diameter of the head of the miniature bottle 2 is smaller than that of the body, the first insertion space c1 has a sufficient insertion width (the depth direction of the box body 1a) to insert the insertion piece 1f. Gap). By forming the protrusion A of the insertion piece 1f so as to correspond to the first insertion space c1, the first insertion space c1 is formed into the protrusion A when the insertion piece 1f is inserted. Opposite. On the other hand, the second insertion space c2 is a gap formed between the outer surface of the confectionery box 3 and the inner surface of the box body 1a. As described above, because the confectionery box 3 is located on the front side of the box body 1a, the insertion width of the second insertion space c2 is narrower than that of the first insertion space. . By forming the inclined portion B of the insertion piece 1f so as to correspond to the second insertion space c2, the second insertion space c2 is inclined to the inclined portion B when the insertion piece 1f is inserted. Opposite.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a process of closing the opened outer flap 1d. The outer flap 1d is closed, and the insertion piece 1f is inserted into the box body 1a. First, the protrusion A having the largest insertion height is inserted into the first insertion space c1. Since the insertion width of the first insertion space c1 is sufficiently wide, the protruding portion A smoothly enters the first insertion space c1 without being caught by the edge of the miniature bottle 2 or the box body 1a. As the protrusion A enters, the inclined portion B that is curved in a convex shape is also inserted into the second insertion space c2. The insertion width of the second insertion space c2 is narrow, but enters while interrupting according to the guide of the protrusion A. Therefore, the inclined portion B smoothly enters the second insertion space c2 without being caught by the edge of the confectionery box 3 or the box body 1a.

  Thus, according to the present embodiment, the protrusion A of the insertion piece 1f is inserted into the insertion space (that is, the first insertion space c2) excluding the portion having the smallest insertion width (that is, the second insertion space c2). It is provided at a position facing the insertion space c1). Accordingly, the inclined portion B can be smoothly inserted into the second insertion space c2 having a relatively small insertion width while being guided by the protruding portion A. As a result, since it becomes difficult to be caught on the product accommodated in the box body 1a or the edge of the box body 1a, the insertion piece 1f can be easily inserted.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, when the insertion piece 1f is inserted into the box body 1a, the protrusion A is provided so as to be located inside the pair of inner flaps 1b and 1c. Contact and interference with the flaps 1b and 1c can be effectively prevented. Therefore, the insertion piece 1f can be more easily inserted.

  In the present embodiment, the case has been described in which the insertion width of the insertion space is wide due to the shape of the different product. However, this invention is not limited to this, For example, the case where a breadth and narrowness arise by presence of members other than goods like the partition plate 4 may be sufficient. This also applies to each embodiment described below.

(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 5 is a plan development view of the commodity storage box 1 according to the second embodiment. The feature of the product storage box 1 is that the inclined portion B of the insertion piece 1f ′ is inclined while curving in a concave shape toward the distal end side of the insertion piece 1f. Since the other points are the same as those in the first embodiment, the same reference numerals as those in FIG.

  According to the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, since it is possible to suppress the catching on the commodity or the like accommodated in the box body 1a, there is an effect that the insertion piece 1f 'can be easily inserted.

(Third embodiment)
FIG. 6 is a plan development view of the commodity storage box 1 according to the third embodiment. The feature of the product storage box 1 is that the inclined portion B of the insertion piece 1f ″ is linearly inclined. Since the other points are the same as those in the first embodiment, the same reference numerals as those in FIG.

  According to the present embodiment, as in each of the above-described embodiments, since the catching on the commodity or the like accommodated in the box body 1a is suppressed, there is an effect that the insertion piece 1f '' can be easily inserted. .

(Performance evaluation)
Next, the performance evaluation results of the product storage box 1 according to each of the above-described embodiments will be described in comparison with the comparative example shown in FIG. In the product storage box 1 ′ according to the comparative example shown in FIG. 7, the protrusion A is not present on the insertion piece 1f ′ ″, and the insertion height is constant. In this performance evaluation, evaluation was performed on the following evaluation scales for 14 monitors. The respective evaluation results are shown in (A) and (B).

(A) “Hook” Evaluation when Inserting External Flap FIG. 8 is a performance evaluation result table relating to the hook when inserting the external flap. Regarding the samples (commodity storage boxes 1, 1 ′) according to the above-described embodiments and comparative examples, it was evaluated whether or not the candy box 3 or the like was caught when the monitor inserted the outer flap 1d. Here, “hook” means that the outer flap 1d is caught on the edge of the confectionery box 3 or the box body 1a. As shown in the figure, one person felt that the first embodiment was caught, two people were caught about the second embodiment, and three people were caught about the third embodiment. On the other hand, about the comparative example, 10 persons felt that a catch would arise. Thus, it turns out that the hook at the time of external flap insertion is improved by providing the protrusion part A in the insertion piece 1f of the outer flap 1d.

(B) Evaluation of “Ease of Insertion” when Inserting Outer Flap FIG. 9 is a performance evaluation result table regarding ease of insertion when inserting an outer flap. With respect to the samples (commodity storage boxes 1, 1 ′) according to the above-described embodiments and comparative examples, the ease of insertion when the monitor inserted the outer flap 1d was evaluated. Here, “easy to insert” means a feeling when the outer flap 1d is inserted into the box body 1a, for example, the outer flap 1d smoothly enters the box body 1a, or the box body 1a enters the box body 1a without great resistance. Say if you want to enter. When inserting the outer flap 1d, 2 points are given to those who feel that “there can be inserted smoothly without feeling resistance”, and 1 point is given to those who feel that “there is a sense of resistance but can be inserted smoothly”. Those who felt that it was “smoothly not inserted” were assigned 0 points. As shown in the figure, in each of the first to third embodiments, the evaluation score is higher than that of the comparative example, and it can be seen that the ease of insertion when the outer flap is inserted is improved.

  As described above, the product storage box according to the present invention is a product storage box in which the insertion width of the insertion space is wide as represented by a form in which different types of products are packaged as one set. Widely applicable.
