DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

This invention relates to the transportation of agricultural products and the like,
It relates to a packing box used for storage.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, metal container boxes have been frequently used as containers used for transporting and storing goods, but wooden packing boxes are still fully utilized. Since this wooden packing box can be assembled when necessary and crushed after use, it is advantageous in terms of storage space unlike a metal container box. In addition, for agricultural products and the like that easily rot during transportation, a wooden box having excellent air permeability may be more advantageous in maintaining freshness than a metal box.

[0003] The wooden packing box is made by nailing a board cut to a predetermined width with an inner frame, and after use, it is necessary to crush and dispose it. The reason for disposable is that nails and scratches are left on the removed plate and frame material, and in extreme cases, the nailed parts will be broken at the time of disassembly, etc., so the recycled box will not be decent Because.

[0004]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Disposable boxes are uneconomical and waste materials are difficult to dispose of. Protection of natural resources,
It is not preferable from the viewpoint of effective utilization. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a packaging box which enables repeated use and simple assembly and disassembly, and requires a small storage space after disassembly.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, there are provided four corner pillars standing at four corners of a box, two adjacent corner pillars and another two corner pillars. Two horizontal members each connecting the lower ends of the
A first dividing plate for a bottom wall, which supports both ends from below with a horizontal sash and lays in a horizontal line between the horizontal sashes, and all adjacent corners with both ends supported by a groove surface of a vertical groove provided on each corner support. A second dividing plate for a side wall stacked in multiple stages in the width direction between the columns, a plurality of horizontal bands for tightening at least the upper and lower ends of the corner columns from outside, and opposing positions where both ends are supported by the uppermost second dividing plate And a third dividing plate for an upper lid to be spread between the second dividing plates, and the first to third dividing plates are fixed by a tightening force of a horizontal band applied to a corner support.

[0006]

The first dividing plate is forcibly fitted by making the overall width of the bottom wall composed of the first dividing plate slightly larger than the dimension between the corner pillars connected by the horizontal support.

Further, both ends of the second divided plate are pressed by corner posts fastened by a band. As a result, the first split plate is pressed in the width direction and the second split plate is pressed in the longitudinal direction and fixed by frictional force, and an empty box having no great difference from a box nailed integrally with the corner support is assembled. . Therefore, the object to be packed is placed inside and covered with a third dividing plate. The third divided plate is forcibly fitted and fixed so that a compressive force is generated in the width direction similarly to the first divided plate.

[0008] With this structure, since each divided plate is fixed without using a nail, it can be easily assembled. Further, if the band is cut, the dividing plate comes off, so that the disassembly is easy and the volume after disassembly becomes very small. Further, since the nail is not nailed, the plate is not damaged, and the box itself can be used repeatedly with only the band as a consumable.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the entire packing box. This packing box 1 has corner posts 2 at four corners. As shown in FIG. 3, two corner posts are paired, and the lower ends of the paired posts are connected to each other by horizontal struts 3. Further, each corner support is provided with a vertical groove 2a having a right angle corner. Further, an auxiliary column 4 is attached to the center of the horizontal ridge 3.

As described above, two corner supports and one
Two frames can be formed by integrating the auxiliary columns of the book. Then, these two frames are supported from the outside by a suitable holding member, and stand upright at a fixed position. Then, a first split plate 5 having a uniform length is provided between the two horizontal supports 3,3. At this time, the second divided plate 6
Are set first. Also, the first split plate 5 is
The both ends are supported by the horizontal ribs 3 and are arranged closely in the width direction, and the last one is pressed slightly tightly to apply a pressing force to both side surfaces of each plate to fix the plates with this force.

Next, a second dividing plate 6 is provided between the four corner posts.
Are stacked in the width direction and fitted so that both ends directly or indirectly contact the groove surface of the vertical groove 2a. The second dividing plate 6 at this time
5 may be assembled as shown in FIG. 5, but as shown in FIG. 4, the work is facilitated if the one end and the other end are staggered. Further, the method of assembling in FIG. 4 also makes the length of the second divided plate uniform in a square box. Further, the second dividing plate 6 may be assembled by assembling the lower four bands first, and then assembling the next four substrates, or when the intermediate plate is assembled halfway, the lower horizontal band 7
If you put it first, you can make it easier.

When the second dividing plate 6 has been assembled in this way, the horizontal band 7 is also applied to the upper side of the corner column, and all the columns are narrowed down tightly. Therefore, the horizontal band 7 is preferably a steel band that can withstand high tension.

After completing the above procedure, the objects to be packed are packed in a box, and the third dividing plate 8 serving as the upper lid is attached. The third divided plate 8 has both ends placed on the uppermost second divided plate 6 at the opposing position, and the side surface of the outermost end plate is the corner support 2 or the inner surface of the second divided plate supported by this support. Received as shown in FIG. Also, make sure that the total width of all the boards is larger than L, and then assemble the last two pieces in a diagonal manner as shown by the chain line in the same figure and apply pressure from above. Press into. As a result, the third dividing plate 8 also receives pressure on both sides and is fixed without nailing.

In the illustrated packing box, an auxiliary frame 9 in which two auxiliary columns are connected by an auxiliary member that is arranged in parallel with the horizontal member 3 is used.

The auxiliary frame 9 and the auxiliary column 4 have a box reinforcing effect. Therefore, although it is a preferable element, when the thick and durable first and second split plates are used, reinforcement may not be required in some cases. The auxiliary frame 9 is naturally set at a fixed position before assembling the first divided plate 5.

The packing box 1 thus constructed may be covered with a vertical band (not shown) in a direction intersecting with the third dividing plate 8 in order to increase the reliability of preventing the upper cover from coming off. Experiments have confirmed that even if they are not used, they can sufficiently withstand practical use. Further, since the horizontal ridge 3 serves as a leg to form a space below the bottom wall made of the first divided plate, a claw of a forklift can be inserted into the space and transported by a lift.
Furthermore, it could withstand several stacks and could be reused after disassembly. The packing box used in this experiment is made of wood, but the effects of the present invention can be exerted also on a material made of plastic or the like.

[0018]

As described above, the packing box of the present invention is
Since the first to third dividing plates are fixed without using nails, they can be reused, which leads to effective use of resources and improvement of economic efficiency.

Further, it is easy to assemble and disassemble, and when not in use, it can be finely disassembled and stored, so that the storage space can be reduced and the effect of disposal of waste material can be prevented.
