When the inner box and the outer box are inserted, the inner box and the outer box are restored and the end portions fit into the grooves to fix the inner box and the outer box.

In the writing instrument storage box of the first aspect, the inner box is inserted through the opening of the outer box. At this time, the lid of the outer box is bent inward by the inner box into the opening and elastically deformed toward the front side, allowing insertion of the inner box. This allows the inner box to be easily inserted.

Further, when the inner box is inserted to a predetermined position, the lid is restored and the end portion fits into the groove. As a result, the writing instrument storage box is assembled. In addition, since the outer box and the inner box are fixed by fitting the lid into the groove, it is difficult to remove the inner box from the outer box, and the items stored in the inner box can be kept covered by the outer box. .

As described above, the writing instrument storage box of this embodiment is easy to assemble and can prevent the stored items from falling out.

In the writing instrument storage box according to the second aspect, in the writing instrument storage box according to the first aspect, the dimension in the depth direction when the lid is arranged along the depth direction of the outer box in the display posture is Smaller than the depth dimension of the opening.

In the writing instrument storage box of the second aspect, the depth dimension of the lid is smaller than the depth dimension of the opening. Therefore, when inserting the inner box through the opening, the lid is easily bent inside the opening by the inner box. Therefore, it is easy to insert the lid. Furthermore, when assembling the outer box, the area around the insertion opening and the lid are less likely to interfere with each other, making assembly easier.

A writing instrument storage box according to a third aspect is the writing instrument storage box according to the first aspect or the second aspect, wherein the outer box is made of paper, the inner box is made of synthetic resin, and a hook for display is passed through. A hanging hole is formed for this purpose.

In the writing instrument storage box of the third aspect, the outer box is made of paper and the inner box is made of synthetic resin. That is, the hanging hole is formed in the inner box made of synthetic resin, which has higher strength than paper. As a result, it is less likely to be damaged during hanging compared to the case where a hanging hole is formed in the outer box.

A fourth aspect of the writing instrument storage box is the writing instrument storage box according to the first aspect or the second aspect, in which an opening is formed at the lower end of the outer box.

In the writing instrument storage box of the fourth aspect, an opening is formed at the lower end of the outer box, that is, at the tip side in the insertion direction of the inner box when the inner box and outer box are assembled. Therefore, the inner box can be taken out from the opening, not from the insertion opening where the lid enters the groove. Therefore, the inner box can be easily taken out.

Note that the present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments, and may be modified as appropriate, such as omitting the configuration, replacing it with a different configuration, or using one embodiment and various modifications in combination, within the scope of the purpose of the present disclosure. It can be implemented with modifications.

<Writing instrument storage box>
FIG. 1 shows an example of a writing instrument storage box 10 (hereinafter referred to as "accommodation box 10") according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The storage box 10 includes an outer box 20 and an inner box 40. As shown in FIG. 1(A), the outer box 20 can accommodate an inner box 40 containing stored items S1 and S2.

Although the contents of the stored items S1 and S2 are not particularly limited, in this example, the stored item S1 is a mechanical pencil as a writing instrument, and the stored item S2 is a refill case as a refill for the writing instrument. be. As another example, the writing instrument may be a ballpoint pen, a fountain pen, etc., and the refill may also be a refill corresponding to a ballpoint pen or fountain pen.

The configurations of the outer box 20 and the inner box 40 will be explained in detail below.

<Outer box>
For example, the outer box 20 is formed into a rectangular parallelepiped box shape using card paper. As card paper, for example, one having a thickness of 0.4 mm and a weight of about 310 g/m ² is used.

Although not shown, a product name, a figure, etc. may be printed on the outer peripheral surface of the outer box 20. Further, the outer box 20 is formed with a plurality of confirmation windows 20A, which are openings for visually checking the stored items S1 and S2 from outside the outer box 20.

The size of each confirmation window 20A is smaller than the size of the stored items S1 and S2. Specifically, a wall portion 20B is formed between adjacent confirmation windows 20A. This wall portion 20B divides the confirmation window 20A into smaller sizes than the stored items S1 and S2. This prevents the stored items S1 and S2 from being removed from the inside of the outer box 20 through the confirmation window 20A.

FIG. 2 shows a developed view of the outer box 20. In the outer box 20, a portion where a confirmation window 20A is formed and which is disposed at the front when the storage box 10 is displayed is referred to as a front portion 22A.

Further, the portions connected to the front portion 22A and arranged on the side surfaces of the storage box 10 in the display posture are respectively referred to as side portions 22B.

Further, a portion connected to one side surface portion 22B and arranged on the back surface of the storage box 10 in the display posture is referred to as a back surface portion 22C.

Furthermore, a portion connected to the other side surface portion 22B and adhesively fixed to the back surface portion 22C while overlapping with the back surface portion 22C is referred to as a fixing portion 22D.

(Opening of outer box)
From the unfolded state shown in this figure, by bending the boundaries of each part and adhesively fixing the fixing part 22D and the back part 22C, the outer box 20 is formed into a rectangular shape into which the inner box 40 can be inserted when viewed from above. Assembled into a cylinder. An insertion opening 20C is formed at the upper end of the cylindrical outer box 20, and an opening opening 20D is formed at the lower end.

(insertion port)
Among these, the insertion opening 20C is an opening for inserting the inner box 40 from above (from above in the display posture of the storage box 10). As shown in FIG. 3, the insertion opening 20C is sealed by the lid 24 of the outer box 20 and the protrusion 42A of the inner box 40 when the inner box 40 is housed in the outer box 20.

As shown in FIG. 2, the lid 24 is connected to the upper end of the front section 22A. As described above, the front portion 22A is a portion of the outer box 20 that is disposed on the front side of the storage box 10 in the display posture, and the upper end of the front portion 22A forms the opening end of the insertion slot 20C.

The width D1 of the lid 24 is smaller than the width D2 of the side surface portion 22B. The width D1 of the lid 24 is the dimension in the depth direction when the lid 24 is arranged along the depth direction of the outer box 20 in a state where the outer box 20 is assembled into a cylindrical shape. On the other hand, the width D2 of the side surface portion 22B is the dimension in the depth direction of the insertion opening 20C when the outer box 20 is assembled into a cylindrical shape.

Further, the width W1 of the tip of the lid 24 is smaller than the width W2 of the front portion 22A. Note that a curved chamfer R is formed at the tip of the lid 24. "Width W1 of the tip of the lid 24" is a width including the portion where the chamfer R is formed.

With the above configuration, the size of the lid 24 is smaller than the area of the insertion opening 20C. Therefore, the insertion port 20C is sealed not only by the lid 24 but also by the convex portion 42A of the inner box 40. The sealed state of the insertion port 20C will be described in detail later.

(opening opening)
On the other hand, the opening 20D is an opening provided at the lower end of the outer box 20, that is, at the leading end of the inner box 40 in the insertion direction. The opening 20D is sealed by the sealing lid 26 of the outer box 20 when the inner box 40 is housed in the outer box 20, as shown in FIG. 1(B).

As shown in FIG. 2, the sealing lid 26 includes a bottom portion 26A and folded portions 26B and 26C. The bottom portion 26A is connected to the lower end of the portion forming the front portion 22A in the outer box 20, and has a width D3 (dimension in the depth direction when the bottom portion 26A is arranged along the depth direction of the outer box 20). It is approximately the same as the width D2 of the side surface portion 22B.

The folding part 26B is a part connected to the bottom part 26A, and is held in contact with the back part 22C when inserted into the inner side of the outer box 20, as shown in FIG. 1(B).

The two fold-in portions 26C are respectively connected to the lower ends of the two side surfaces 22B of the outer box 20, and are held in contact with the bottom portion 26A when inserted into the inner side of the outer box 20. Ru.

<Inner box>
FIG. 4 shows the inner box 40 containing the items S1 and S2. The inner box 40 is a blister container made of recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate), which is an example of synthetic resin. As recycled PET, for example, one having a thickness of about 0.4 mm is used. The inner box 40 formed using this recycled PET has higher tear strength than the outer box 20 formed using the above-mentioned card paper.

As shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the inner box 40 has surfaces made of the above-mentioned recycled PET on the front side, upper and lower surfaces, and both side surfaces when the storage box 10 is in the display position. On the other hand, the back side is open. In this way, the inner box 40 has a substantially rectangular box shape with five sides closed and one side open.

Irregularities are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the inner box 40 located on the front side. In the unevenness, the part that protrudes from the surrounding surface toward the front side is called a protrusion 42 (general term for protrusions 42A, 42B, and 42C), and the part that recesses from the surrounding surface toward the back side is called a recess 44 (recess 44A). , 44B and 44C).

The convex portion 42A is formed along the width direction of the inner box 40 at the upper end of the inner box 40 and between both ends when the inner box 40 is viewed from the front in the display posture of the storage box 10. It is a protrusion. Furthermore, a protrusion 42B, which is another protrusion, is formed below the protrusion 42A along the width direction of the inner box 40 and between both ends.

A recess 44A is formed between the protrusion 42A and the protrusion 42B, and is recessed from these protrusions toward the back side of the inner box 40. In other words, the recessed portion 44A is a groove formed along the width direction of the inner box 40 at the upper end of the surface disposed on the front side of the inner box 40. When viewed from the recess 44A, the protrusion height of the protrusion 42A is smaller than the protrusion height of the protrusion 42B.

The recess 44A is also formed between both ends of the inner box 40, similarly to the projections 42A and 42B. The width W3 of the recess 44A is larger than the width W1 of the tip of the lid 24 in the outer box 20 (see FIG. 2).

The recess 44B is a recess that can accommodate the stored item S1 (see FIG. 4), and is formed so that its outer shape follows the outer shape of the stored item S1. On the other hand, the concave portion 44C surrounded by the convex portion 42C is a concave portion that can accommodate the stored item S2 (see FIG. 4), and is formed so that its outer shape follows the external shape of the stored item S2. In the inner box 40 of the present disclosure, the shape of the recess is free, and by adjusting the shape of the recess, objects of various shapes can be accommodated.

In the inner box 40, the upper end surface 46 of the convex portion 42A forms the upper end surface of the inner box 40. A hook portion 48 having a hanging hole 48A is formed above the upper end surface 46. As shown in FIG. 3, the hook portion 48 is a portion that projects upward from the insertion opening 20C of the outer box 20 when the inner box 40 is housed in the outer box 20. The hanging hole 48A is a through hole through which a display hook of the storage box 10 is passed.

<Assembling and separating the outer box and inner box>
(Assembling)
When assembling the outer box 20 and the inner box 40, the inner box 40 containing the items S1 and S2 is inserted into the insertion opening 20C of the outer box 20 from above. At this time, the lid 24 is bent inside the insertion opening 20C by being pressed by the inner box 40, and is elastically deformed toward the front part 22A of the outer box 20, as shown by arrow N1 in FIG. Insertion of the inner box 40 is allowed. Then, the inner box 40 is inserted with the lid 24 and the surface of the inner box 40 (the surfaces of the protrusions 42B and 42C) in contact with each other.

As the inner box 40 is inserted to a predetermined position, when the convex portion 42B of the inner box 40 is placed below the lid 24, the lid 24 moves toward the back surface 22C of the outer box 20, as shown by arrow N2. The end portion of the lid 24 is then restored and deformed, and the end portion of the lid 24 fits into the recessed portion 44A, which is a groove. Note that the "predetermined position" is a position where the upper end surface 46 of the inner box 40 is arranged at the open end of the insertion opening 20C of the outer box 20.

In this state, the outer box 20 and the inner box 40 are assembled by folding in the sealing lid 26 shown in FIG. 1 and sealing the opening 20D. Note that the sealing lid 26 may be folded in before the inner box 40 is inserted into the insertion opening 20C of the outer box 20.

In the state where the outer box 20 and the inner box 40 are assembled, even if you try to move the inner box 40 "downward (in the insertion direction of the inner box described above)" with respect to the outer box 20, the sealing lid 26 interferes and movement is inhibited. Moreover, even if an attempt is made to move the inner box 40 "upward (in the opposite direction to the inserting direction of the inner box described above)" with respect to the outer box 20, the lid 24 fitted into the recess 44A shown in FIG. Movement is inhibited by interference.

In addition, in the present disclosure, the statement "when the inner box is inserted to a predetermined position, it is restored and the end part fits into the groove" means that the inner box 40 inserted from the insertion opening 20C is at the above-mentioned predetermined position. This means that when the lid 24 is inserted up to this point, the lid 24 automatically fits into the groove 44A due to its restoring force.

However, this description does not necessarily specify that the inner box 40 must be inserted through the insertion opening 20C. That is, the inner box 40 may be inserted through the opening 20D. Even when the inner box 40 and the outer box 20 are assembled in this manner, it is possible to fit the lid 24 of the outer box 20 into the recess 44A of the inner box 40.

(separation)
When separating the outer box 20 and the inner box 40, the sealing lid 26 shown in FIG. 1 is opened with the inner box 40 housed in the outer box 20. Thereby, the opening 20D can be opened, the inner box 40 can be slid below the outer box 20, and the inner box 40 can be taken out of the outer box 20, as shown in FIG.

At this time, the lid 24 shown in FIG. 3 is pressed by the convex portion 42A and can be elastically deformed in the direction shown by the arrow N1, so the inner box 40 can be easily taken out of the outer box 20.

<Action and effect>
In the storage box 10 of the present disclosure shown in FIG. 1, the inner box 40 is inserted through the insertion opening 20C of the outer box 20 and stored in the outer box 20. At this time, the lid 24 of the outer box 20 is bent by the inner box 40 to the inside of the insertion port 20C, and is elastically deformed toward the front side 22A as shown by arrow N1 in FIG. 3, allowing insertion of the inner box 40. . Thereby, the inner box 40 can be easily inserted.

Further, when the inner box 40 is inserted to a predetermined position, the lid 24 is restored and the end of the lid 24 fits into the recess 44A, which is a groove formed on the outer peripheral surface of the inner box 40. Thereby, the storage box 10 is assembled.

Furthermore, by fitting the lid 24 into the recess 44A, the insertion opening 20C is sealed by the lid 24 and the convex portion 42A of the inner box 40. In this way, simply by inserting the inner box 40 through the insertion opening 20C of the outer box 20, the insertion opening 20C can be sealed.

Moreover, the outer box 20 and the inner box 40 are fixed by fitting the lid 24 into the groove. More specifically, the outer box 20 and the inner box 40 are fixed so as to restrict upward movement of the inner box 40 with respect to the outer box 20.

Therefore, it is difficult to remove the inner box 40 from the outer box 20, and the articles S1 and S2 accommodated in the inner box 40 can be kept covered by the outer box 20. In this way, the storage box 10 of this embodiment is easy to assemble and can prevent the stored items S1 and S2 from falling off.

Further, in the storage box 10 of the present disclosure, the depth direction dimension of the lid 24 (width D1 shown in FIG. 2) when the lid 24 is arranged along the depth direction of the outer box 20 is the same as the depth direction of the insertion opening 20C. size (width D2 shown in FIG. 2). Therefore, when inserting the inner box 40 from the insertion port 20C, the lid 24 is easily bent by the inner box 40 to the inside of the insertion port 20C. Therefore, it is easy to insert the lid 24. Furthermore, when assembling the outer box, the area around the insertion opening and the lid are less likely to interfere with each other, making assembly easier.

Furthermore, when assembling the outer box 20 by bonding the back surface 22C and the fixing section 22D of the outer box 20 shown in FIG. Easy to assemble.

Furthermore, in the storage box 10 of the present disclosure, the outer box 20 is made of paper (card paper), and the inner box 40 is made of synthetic resin (recycled PET) that has higher tear strength than the outer box 20. That is, the hanging hole 48A shown in FIG. 1 is formed in the relatively high-strength inner box 40. As a result, compared to the case where a hanging hole is formed in the outer box 20, the outer box 20 is less likely to tear and break due to an external force acting from the hook during hanging.

Further, the outer box 20 of the storage box 10 of the present disclosure has an opening 20D at the lower end of the outer box 20, that is, at the tip side in the insertion direction of the inner box 40 when the inner box 40 and the outer box 20 are assembled. It is formed. Therefore, the inner box 40 can be taken out not from the insertion opening 20C in which the lid 24 is fitted into the recess 44A, but from the opening 20D. Thereby, the inner box 40 can be easily taken out.

<Other embodiments>
In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the width D1 of the lid 24 is smaller than the width D2 of the side surface portion 22B. As a result, the size of the lid 24 of the outer box 20 is formed larger than the area of the insertion opening 20C, but the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to this.

For example, the width D1 of the lid 24 may be larger than the width D2 of the portion forming the side surface portion 22B. Even in such a case, it is possible to obtain the effect of restricting upward movement of the inner box 40 with respect to the outer box 20 and suppressing falling of the stored items S1 and S2.

Further, in the above embodiment, the outer box 20 is made of paper (card paper) and the inner box 40 is made of synthetic resin (recycled PET) that has higher strength than the outer box 20, but the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to this. Not exclusively. The materials of the outer box 20 and the inner box 40 are not particularly limited, and for example, the outer box 20 may be made of synthetic resin, and the inner box 40 may be made of paper.

Further, it is preferable that the inner box 40 has higher strength than the outer box 20, but the outer box 20 may have higher strength than the inner box 40. When the outer box 20 is made to have higher strength than the inner box 40, it is preferable that the hook portion 48 with the hanging hole 48A be formed at the upper end of the back surface 22C of the outer box 20.

Further, in the embodiment described above, the sealing lid 26 that seals the opening 20D is formed at the lower end of the outer box 20, but the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, this sealing lid 26 may be omitted. Further, instead of the sealing lid 26, a tape or the like may be used to fix the outer box 20 and the inner box 40. Thus, the present disclosure can be implemented in a variety of ways.
