DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a box, for example, a VTR.
(Video tape recorder) function was <br/> the box body constituting resin housing body (chassis) for mounting mechanical parts and printed circuit board, etc. to be packaged for transport, when put together the box body The space occupied by the box can be reduced.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in an electronic device such as a VTR, in order to protect a power supply block or the like which is dangerous at a manufacturing site,
Alternatively, a box-shaped housing is used in some cases because it is necessary to provide a boss for screwing, a hook for holding the printed board, and the like around the boss. The housing is often made of resin.
The box constituting such a housing was packed as shown in FIG. In this figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a box,
Reference numeral 2 denotes a shipping box, and one box 1 is inserted into each of the compartments of the shipping box 2.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned conventional apparatus, since only one box body can be stored in each partitioned room, the space occupied by the box body is relatively large, so that the packing efficiency is low, There was a problem that transportation costs increased. In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a box that can relatively reduce the space occupied by the box when the boxes are put together, as well as in the packed state of the boxes. It is.

[0004]

Wherein the foregoing problems SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION, the box of the invention for achieving the above object,

[0005] In a box having a top surface that is open over the entire surface and a shape corresponding to the top surface is square or rectangular and has a bottom surface having the same shape as the top surface equivalent portion ,

[0006] The bottom is the first of the four vertical planes
Of the four planes adjacent to the first plane
A first cut along the vertical direction at a position near the plane 2
And a third plane facing the first plane.
The center of the upper edge of the second plane
The first cut is at a position symmetrical with the first cut along the vertical direction.
And the width of these cuts is adjusted by the second cut.
And a wall forming a fourth plane of the four planes
Is characterized in that it is wider than the thickness.

The box body of the present invention is a resin box body constituting a housing of an electronic device, and has a top surface that is open over the entire surface, and a portion corresponding to the top surface is a square or a rectangle. In a box having a bottom surface having the same shape as the top surface equivalent portion, of the four planes perpendicular to the bottom surface, the first plane has a first surface adjacent to the first plane among the four planes. 2
A first cut is provided along the vertical direction at a position close to the plane of the first plane, and the first cut is formed around a center of an upper edge of the second plane in a third plane opposed to the first plane. A second cut is provided along the vertical direction at a position symmetrical with the cut of 1, and these cuts reach a position substantially in contact with the bottom surface, and their widths are reduced to the second plane and the second plane. It is characterized in that it is wider than the thickness of the wall forming the fourth plane among the four planes.

[0008]

In the box of the present invention configured as described above,
The two boxes are overlapped so that the portions corresponding to the top surfaces of the two boxes face each other, and the cuts are fitted to the walls of the other boxes. Occupies less than twice the space occupied by one box. Therefore, the space for putting the boxes together or packing them for transportation is reduced.

[0009]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1A shows a disassembled state of the box bodies before they are superimposed, and FIG. As shown in the figure, a resin box 3 constituting a housing of an electronic device, the top surface is open over the entire surface, the shape of the top surface equivalent portion is rectangular, and the top surface equivalent portion is A box 3 having a bottom surface having the same shape as that of FIG. 1 has a first plane 4 among four planes perpendicular to the bottom and a second plane 5 adjacent to the first plane 4 among the four planes. A first cut 6 is provided in a position close to the vertical direction along the vertical direction, and centered on the center of the upper edge of the second plane 5 in the third plane 7 facing the first plane 4. A second cut 8 is provided along the vertical direction at a position symmetrical with the first cut 6, and the cuts 6, 8 reach a position in contact with the bottom surface, and have a width equal to the first cut. The thickness of the second plane 5 and the thickness of the wall forming the fourth plane 9 among the four planes are made larger.

Then, the box 3 constructed as described above is
The cuts 8 of the lower box 3 in FIG. 1 are formed so that the portions corresponding to the top surfaces of the boxes 3 and 3 face each other, and the cuts 8 of the lower box 3 in FIG. The notch 6 of the box 3 on the upper side is fitted to the wall forming the first plane 4 of the box 3 on the lower side, and the notch 6 of the box 3 on the upper side is fitted to the wall constituting the third plane 7, respectively. Then, these two boxes 3, 3 are overlapped. In the state of being overlapped in this way, the space occupied by the two boxes 3 is smaller than twice the space occupied by one box. Therefore, the space for putting the boxes together or packing them for transportation is reduced. As shown in FIG. 1 (b), the two boxes 3, 3 superposed on each other are inserted into each compartment of the transport box 10 as shown in FIG.

In the above embodiment, the box 3 is described as a housing of an electronic device, but the box of the present invention is not limited to the housing. In the above embodiment, as the box 3, but the top surface portion corresponding it has been described a rectangular ones, not limited thereto, can be implemented even in a square shape. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the cuts 6 and 8 that reach the bottom surface are provided. However, cuts that reach the vicinity of the bottom surface or cuts that are shallower can be performed.

In the above embodiment, the specified first plane 4 of the four planes is close to the second plane 5 adjacent to the first plane 4 of the four planes. A first cut 6 is provided at a position along the vertical direction, and the first cut 6 is formed around a center of an upper edge of the second plane 5 in a third plane 7 facing the first plane 4. The second cut along the vertical direction at a position symmetrical with the notch 6 of the first
Cut 8 was provided. Here, even if the position of the second cut is provided at a position symmetrical to the position of the first cut 6 at the upper edge of the first plane 4, the present invention is not limited thereto .
A box can be configured. However, in this case, the first plane is provided with the first and second cuts, that is, two cuts, so that the first plane 4 and the third plane 7 are formed with the cuts 6 and 6, respectively. The weakness of the wall constituting the first plane may cause a problem compared to the case where 8 is provided.

Further, as described above, the cuts 6
It is conceivable that the provision of the box 8 makes the box body 3 fragile. However, by appropriately selecting the depths of the cuts 6 and 8, or by using a material having a large strength as the box body 3, Further, the problem can be solved by connecting the second plane 5 not provided with the cuts 6 and 8 and the fourth plane 9 with a joint or the like at the time of assembling parts or the like into the box 3. In particular, when the casing of an electronic device such as a VTR is configured as a box, and the front and bottom portions of the casing are fixed to each other by screws via a mechanical block, the above-described case is adopted. There is no fear of vulnerability. And
In the case of a VTR or the like, since the case is wrapped by the upper cover, there is no possibility of the above-mentioned fragility.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, the space occupied by the boxes when the boxes are put together, as well as in the packed state of the boxes, can be relatively reduced.
Therefore, the transportation cost of this box can be reduced.
