FIG. 7 is a development view of the buffer body, and FIG. 8 is a development view of the outer box.
FIGS. 9A to 9D are usage examples of a pair of shock absorbers and an outer box.
In the following description, the same name or the same reference sign indicates the same configuration, and a duplicate description is avoided.

The shock absorbers according to the present invention are a pair, and when the articles to be packed P are incorporated in the shock absorbers 1 and 1 as shown in FIGS. ) 2, two side surfaces 3, 4 adjacent to the left and right sides of the opposing surface 2, a back surface 5 adjacent to these side surfaces 3, 4, and an upper side adjacent to the opposing surface 2, both side surfaces 3, 4 and the back surface 5. It is a rectangular parallelepiped box shape having lower surfaces 6 and 7.
And a pair of buffer bodies 1 and 1 incorporating the to-be-packaged goods P are accommodated in the outer box 8 (refer FIG. 9).
Since the buffer body 1 is a pair, one configuration example will be described in detail in the following description.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the opposing surface 2 of the buffer 1 has an insertion port 20 into which one end portion P <b> 1 of at least one packaged item P can be inserted, and upper, lower, left and right edges of the insertion port 20. Each fold piece 210,220,230,240 formed in the part 21,22,23,24 and folded along the insertion direction x (refer FIG. 4) of the one end part P1 of the to-be-packaged goods P is provided. .

The insertion port 20 is formed in a substantially rectangular long hole shape by the edge portions 21, 22, 23, and 24, and does not correspond to a specific shape of the one end portion P1 of the packaged object P. It is more versatile with respect to one end portion P1 of various packages P within the range of dimensions that can be inserted into the opening 20.
The size of the insertion opening 20 is configured such that at least one end P1 of the packaged item P can be inserted, and each end P1 of the two packages P is inserted. Good.
Specifically, the insertion port 20 has a height H of about 33.5 cm and a width W of about 6.5 cm.

Further, the heights h of the edges 21 and 22 of the insertion port 20 from the upper and lower ends of the opposing surface 2 have the same dimensions (about 2.5 cm), respectively, and the edges 22 and 23 of the insertion port 20 from the left and right ends. Each width w has the same dimension (about 2.3 cm).
Therefore, the substantially equal space S can be formed around the packaged object P in a state where the packaged product P is floated (see FIGS. 5 and 6). That is, the article to be packed P can be protected against various external forces applied to the article to be packed P accommodated in the outer box 8 through the buffer bodies 1 and 1.
Moreover, since each said height h and each width | variety w are substantially the same dimension, this can be used without being seized with the top and bottom of the said buffer body 1 accommodated in the outer case 8. FIG.

A perforation cut 25 is formed in the edge portions 21, 22, 23, 24 of the insertion opening 20.
When forming a perforation cut, the shorter the cut length, the easier it is for each fold 210, 220, 230, 240 to be folded, so the buffer strength is weaker and the fold is more likely to break. The problem arises. On the other hand, there is a problem that the longer the interval between the cuts, the more difficult it is to fold each piece 210, 220, 230, 240, the buffer strength is too strong, and it is difficult to fold.
In this embodiment, when the cut length is about 1 cm so that the buffer strength is not too strong and not too weak, the interval is about 1.5 cm.

The upper piece 210 and the lower piece 220 are cut into a substantially isosceles triangle shape with the oblique sides cut into the edges 21 and 22 as the bases.
The left piece 230 and the right piece 240 are cut into a substantially trapezoidal shape with the edges 23 and 24 as long sides and the oblique and short sides cut out.

The effect | action of the insertion port 20 comprised as mentioned above is demonstrated in detail based on FIG.5 and FIG.6.
As shown in FIG. 5, the left piece 230 and the right piece 240 have their original positions relative to the one end portion P1 of the article to be packed P (each of the folded pieces 210, 220, 230, and 240 are opposed surfaces). An elastic force is applied to return to the position where the flat surface is formed, the position of each of the folded pieces 210, 220, 230, 240 before the one end P1 of the packaged object P is inserted into the insertion port 20, and the like. As a result, one end P1 of the article to be packed P is sandwiched between the tips of the left piece 230 and the right piece 240. When the article P to be packed sandwiched between the tips of the left piece 230 and the right piece 240 tries to move in the direction x1, the tips of the left piece 230 and the right piece 240 of the buffer body 1B are also followed in the same direction. The clamping force with respect to the to-be-packaged goods P of the left piece 230 and the right piece 240 of the body 1B increases. On the contrary, when the article to be packed P is about to move in the direction x2, the clamping force of the leading ends of the left piece 230 and the right piece 240 of the buffer 1A with respect to the article to be packed P is increased.
Therefore, the article to be packed P is stably placed without moving in the insertion direction x1 or the opposite direction x2.
The angle α formed by the left piece 230 or the right piece 240 with respect to the one end portion P1 of the article to be packed P is about 45 degrees, but the larger the angle, the stronger the clamping force.

As shown in FIG. 6, the lower piece 220 functions as a guide when the one end P <b> 1 of the article to be packed P is inserted into the insertion port 20.
Moreover, when the height dimension of the one end part P1 of the to-be-packaged goods P is large, the elastic force of the upper piece 210 acts with respect to the one end part P1 of the to-be-packaged goods P as shown in FIG. As a result, together with the left piece 230 and the right piece 240, the article to be packed P can be stably placed against an impact from the outside.

The upper piece 210 and the lower piece 220 are cut out in a substantially isosceles triangle shape, and the left piece 230 and the right piece 240 are cut out in a substantially trapezoidal shape, but are not limited to these shapes. For example, the upper piece 210 and the lower piece 220 may be semicircular.
Moreover, each front-end | tip of right-and-left piece 230,240 may contact | abut, and a clearance gap may be provided. By providing a slit (gap) between the front ends of the left and right pieces 230 and 240, the angle α with respect to the one end portion P1 of the article P to be packed having the same width PW can be formed larger.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the depth width 3W of the side surfaces 3 and 4 is such that a space S1 is formed between one end portion P1 and the back surface of the article P to be packed inserted from the insertion port 20. The size is possible.
Therefore, it is possible to improve the strength against buffering together with the space S.

  The back surface 5 is formed with a buffering piece 50 protruding outward from the surface, and the packaged item P is protected from an external force applied in the back surface direction. This is particularly effective when the back surface 5 has a weak buffering effect.

The upper and lower surfaces 6, 7 are substantially in contact with the end portions of extension pieces 26, 51, 27, 52 (see FIG. 7) extending the upper and lower end portions of the facing surface 2 and the back surface 5, respectively. Extension pieces 30, 40, 31, 41 (see FIG. 7) with the upper and lower ends of 3 and 4 extended are respectively polymerized.
Therefore, the upper and lower surfaces 6 and 7 are formed in three layers, and the buffer strength of the rectangular parallelepiped buffer body 1 from an external force is increased.
Further, with this configuration, the outer box 8 can be reinforced via the buffer body 1, and the configuration is effective for stacking the outer boxes 1.
The upper and lower surfaces 6 and 7 are not limited to the above configuration, and for example, only the upper and lower ends of one of the side surfaces 3 and 4 may be extended.
That is, the extension piece which extended each upper-lower end part of the opposing surface 2, the both side surfaces 3, 4 or the back surface 5 may be folded, and you may comprise at least double extension piece.

  The upper and lower surfaces 6 and 7 are provided with through holes 60 and 70 to facilitate the insertion and removal of the buffer body 1 with respect to the outer box 8.

The shock absorber configured as described above is formed by punching out a single cardboard, cardboard, or the like along the contour shown in FIG. 7, and as shown in FIG. 3, 4, folding edges A to D are formed at each boundary of the back surface 5 and the reinforcing surface 9, and the edge portions 21 to 24 are provided in the insertion port 20 of the facing surface 2, The upper and lower pieces 210 and 220 and the left and right pieces 230 and 240 are provided with cuts along the contours thereof. Further, insertion sills 42 and 43 are formed on one of the extension pieces 40 and 41 of the both side surfaces 3 and 4, respectively, and the other extension pieces 30 and 31 correspond to the insertion sills 42 and 43, respectively. Insertion slits 32 and 33 are formed, and a cutout of the buffer piece 50 is formed on the back surface 5. Further, each extension piece is provided with notches 61 and 71 for forming through holes 60 and 70.
Therefore, the buffer body developed in this way can be easily assembled and deployed at the packaging site. As described above, since the buffer body is a rectangular parallelepiped box-like body, the assembly thereof is extremely simple.

The package P is assumed to be a base or the like, for example, an “electronic base part for a telephone exchange”, and has a maximum size of 30 cm in the vertical direction, 36 cm in the horizontal direction, and 3 cm in the width dimension.
The article to be packed is not limited to a base or the like, and any object that can be inserted into the insertion opening 20 can be used.

  The outer box 8 is formed of corrugated cardboard, and the shock absorber 1 is standardized to a predetermined size (width: about 11 cm × length: about 15 cm × height: about 39 cm), with a width of 12.5 cm and a length of 45. .5 cm and height dimension 41.1 cm.

A method of using the pair of shock absorbers 1 and the outer box 8 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG.
(A) First, each end P1 is inserted into the insertion opening 20 of the buffer body 1 with a packing P2 interposed between two objects to be packed P that are simply packaged in an antistatic bag or the like.
In that case, an insertion position is adjusted so that space S1 may be formed between the edge part P1 of the to-be-packaged object P inserted from the said insertion port 20, and a back surface.
(B) Next, the buffer body 1 is stored in the outer box 8 using the through holes 60 and 60 of each buffer body 1.
(C) At that time, the buffer piece 50 of the back surface 5 of the buffer body 1 is adjusted so as to contact the inner surface of the outer box 8.
(D) Finally, it should be sealed.

It is as follows when the effect of buffer 1 of the above composition is summarized.
(A) Since the insertion port 20 of the buffer body 1 is formed in the upper and lower edges 21 to 24 and includes the folding pieces 210 to 240 that are folded along the insertion direction of the article to be packed P, The piece acts so as to sandwich the article to be packed P and is stabilized.
Therefore, it becomes a buffer body which can protect various packaged goods P within the range of the size which can insert the one end part P1 into insertion slot 20, and it is not necessary to prepare a buffer object for every packaged product. In particular, it is a cushioning body that can be standardized with respect to an object to be packed in a thin plate shape.
With the standardization of the buffer body 1, the outer box 8 is also standardized.
(B) The shock absorber 1 is composed only of corrugated cardboard and cardboard, and it is possible to omit shock absorber materials such as wraps other than corrugated cardboard. Further, the buffer 1 and the outer box 8 can be repeatedly used between the transport destination and the transport source.
(C) Since only one end P1 of the article to be packed P is inserted into the insertion port 20 of the buffer body 1 and the top and bottom of the object to be packed is not a problem, the buffering operation is completed, and the packing operation is simplified. .
(D) The buffer body 1 has a rectangular parallelepiped box shape, has a simple configuration, and is easy to assemble from a deployed state.
(E) A plurality of articles to be packed P can be packed with a pair of buffer bodies 1.
(F) If there is no significant change in the basic shape that the packaged item is a thin plate, the number of items to be packed can be assumed to be about several hundreds.
