  Since the notch 12f and the openings 12g, 12h, 12j, and 12k are formed in the restricting member 12, even after the restricting member 12 is accommodated in the outer box 11, the second accommodating space of the inner boxes 1 to 10 is used. Each paper pack 14 can be stored. In other words, the paper packs 14 can be stored in the second storage spaces of the inner boxes 1 and 6 from the notch 12 f of the regulating member 12. The paper packs 14 can be stored in the second storage spaces of the inner boxes 2 and 7 from the opening 12g of the regulating member 12, respectively. The paper packs 14 can be stored in the second storage spaces of the inner boxes 3 and 8 from the opening 12h of the regulating member 12, respectively. The paper packs 14 can be stored in the second storage spaces of the inner boxes 4 and 9 from the opening 12j of the regulating member 12, respectively. The paper packs 14 can be stored in the second storage spaces of the inner boxes 5 and 10 from the opening 12k of the regulating member 12, respectively. At this time, the notched portion 12f of the regulating member 12 and the protruding portions of the inner boxes 1 to 10 protruding from the openings 12g, 12h, 12j, and 12k serve as guides when the paper pack 14 is stored. Further, the ink cassettes 13 stored in the first storage spaces of the middle boxes 1 to 10 are fingered from the concave portions 12ax to 12ex and 12ay to 12ey so that the ink cassettes 13 do not fall into the second storage space of the middle boxes 1 to 10. The ink cassette 13 housed in can be pressed down.

  FIG. 1C shows a state where the paper packs 14 have been stored in the inner boxes 1 to 10, respectively. As shown in FIG. 1C, a part of the paper pack 14 stored in the second storage space of the inner boxes 1 to 10 is a notch 12 f and openings 12 g, 12 h, 12 j of the regulating member 12. Project from 12k. However, since the side surface portions 12p and 12q are formed so that the height dimension of the side surface portions 12p and 12q of the restricting member 12 is larger than the protruding size of the paper pack 14, the protruding portion of the paper pack 14 also Protected.

  As shown in FIG. 1D, the inner flaps 11e and 11f on the top surface side of the outer box 11 are folded inward, and the outer flaps 11g and 11h on the top surface side are folded inward. Then, the outer box 11 is sealed by sticking the tape 15 to the folded outer flaps 11g and 11h.

  FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view for explaining how the ink cassette 13 and the paper pack 14 are stored in the storage box embodying the present invention.

  FIG. 5A is a cross-sectional view for explaining a state in which the inner boxes 1 to 10 are arranged in 2 rows and 5 columns in the outer box 11. As illustrated in FIG. 5A, the middle boxes 1 to 10 are accommodated in the box 11 so that the protruding portions of the middle boxes 1 to 10 are on the front side of the box 11.

  FIG. 5B is a cross-sectional view illustrating a state in which two ink cassettes 13 are stored in the first storage spaces of the inner boxes 1 to 10 and the regulating member 12 is stored in the outer box 11. As shown in FIG. 5B, the dimension in the front-rear direction of the first storage space of the inner boxes 1 to 10 is set to L 31, and this dimension is set based on the size of the ink cassette 13. As illustrated in FIG. 5B, the closing portions 12 a, 12 b, 12 c, 12 d, and 12 e close the first storage spaces of the inner boxes 1 to 10. By storing the regulating member 12 in the outer box 11, the first storage spaces of the inner boxes 1 to 10 are closed. In addition, when the regulating member 12 is stored in the outer box 11, the second storage space of the inner boxes 1 to 10 is in a state in which the paper pack 14 can be stored from the notch or the opening of the regulating member 12.

  At this time, from the concave shaped portions 12ax to 12ex and 12ay to 12ey, the ink cassette 13 stored in the first storage space of the inner boxes 1 to 10 does not fall into the second storage space of the inner boxes 1 to 10. The ink cassette 13 stored with a finger can be pressed. Further, when the front side of the outer box 11 is lifted, the ink cassette 13 does not fall into the second storage space of the inner boxes 1 to 10 due to gravity.

  FIG. 5C is a cross-sectional view illustrating how the paper packs 14 are stored in the second storage spaces of the inner boxes 1 to 10, respectively. As shown in FIG. 5C, the dimension in the front-rear direction of the second storage space of the inner boxes 1 to 10 is set to L32, and this dimension is set based on the size of the paper pack 14. As illustrated in FIG. 5C, the paper packs 14 can be stored in the second storage spaces of the inner boxes 1 and 6 from the notch 12 f of the regulating member 12. Similarly, the paper packs 14 can be stored in the second storage spaces of the inner boxes 2 and 7 from the opening 12g of the regulating member 12, respectively. At this time, the protruding portions of the inner boxes 1 to 10 protrude from the notch portion 12f and the opening portions 12g, 12h, 12j, and 12k of the regulating member 12, respectively. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 5C, when the paper pack 14 is stored in the second storage space of the inner box 2, the tip of the paper pack 14 is brought into contact with the protruding portion 2g of the inner box 2. The paper pack 14 is inserted into the opening 12g along the protruding portion 2g. As a result, the paper packs 14 can be smoothly stored in the second storage spaces of the inner boxes 1 to 10, respectively, and the efficiency of the boxing operation is increased.

  Thus, after storing the paper packs 14 in the second storage spaces of the inner boxes 1 to 10, as shown in FIG. 5 (d), the inner flaps 11 e and 11 f on the top surface side of the outer box 11 and The flaps 11g and 11h are sealed.

  The storage box embodying the present invention is transported in the state shown in FIG. In the inner boxes 1 to 10, the ink cassette 13 and the paper pack 14 are respectively stored. However, since the paper pack 14 is held in the notch portion or the opening portion of the regulating member 12, Thus, the paper pack 14 will not be violated. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the problem that the paper pack 14 is uncovered in the inner box and the ink cassette 13 is damaged when the storage box is transported.

  Further, since the protruding portions of the inner boxes 1 to 10 are inserted into the notches or openings of the restricting member 12, the positions of the inner boxes 1 to 10 within the outer box 11 are restricted by the restricting member 12. Accordingly, the positions of the middle boxes 1 to 10 are regulated by the regulating member 12 regardless of the attitude of the outer box 11. For example, a state is assumed in which the outer box 11 is erected so that the surface on the rear side of the outer box 11 in the state of FIG. At this time, if the positions of the inner boxes 1 to 10 in the outer box 11 are not regulated, the inner boxes 5 and 10 that are the lowermost will be weighted by the inner boxes 1 to 4 and 6 to 9, There is a risk of damaging the ink cassette 13 housed in the inner boxes 5 and 10. In the present embodiment, in order to cope with such a situation, the regulating member 12 regulates the positions of the inner boxes 1 to 10 in the outer box 11. In the present embodiment, even when the outer box 11 is in the standing state, some of the weights of the inner boxes 1 to 4 and 6 to 9 are supported by the regulating member 12, The weights of ~ 9 are never concentrated.

  Since the inner box of this embodiment does not require printing like a decorative box, it can be produced at a lower cost than the decorative box. Also, the boxing work efficiency can be greatly reduced as compared with the case where the ink cassette and the paper pack are boxed in a decorative box and then further packed in a collection box.
