[Usage field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a stowage aid suitable for stacking small boxes (hereinafter referred to as cartons) for packing food, confectionery, medicine, daily necessities, etc. in a carton feeder having a carton stock bucket. .

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Small boxes for packaging foods, confectionery, medicines, daily necessities, etc. are usually made of paperboard, with a ruled line in a predetermined format, punched out, folded, and glued on the trunk, and made into a sack shape. The small box is called a sack carton, and is usually manufactured in a sack shape by using a cardboard maker to form a ruled line in a predetermined form using paperboard, punching and folding, and gluing the trunk. The small boxes manufactured by the carton maker are folded flat into 200 to 250 sheets each, placed in a cardboard box (transport box) (see FIG. 4), and transported to a filling factory for packing objects.

[0003] Producers and packers of food, confectionery, medicine, daily necessities, etc., in a filling factory, combine the packaging material (small box) sent from the paper container maker and the article to be packaged to form a small box. Shipments are made with wrappers inserted inside. The machine that fills the package is called a cartoning machine (a small box packing machine), which takes out small boxes one by one from a carton magazine, packs the packages into the boxes while opening the boxes, and seals the boxes. To complete the packaging (see FIG. 5). The packaged food, etc. are placed in a distribution area after a predetermined inspection and shipping process.

By the way, the removal of the small boxes and the supply of the small boxes to the carton magazine in the cartoning machine are conventionally performed by automatic supply or artificial supply. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, a worker (many women) grabbed out about 20 pieces of the carton packed in a cardboard box by hand and took out a carton stock bucket (or rack). Arrange them in a carton feeder (rotary rack). In this carton feeder, as schematically shown in FIG. 6, a bucket (rack) for carton stock is attached to a chain 32, and the bucket is moved intermittently in the vertical direction by the chain. While still, the worker manually arranges about 600 folded small boxes on empty buckets. On the other hand, the pusher device provided at the top of the machine is configured so that the small box placed in the bucket as described above can be laterally protruded and loaded into the carton magazine.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 As described above, the work of taking out small boxes from the shipping box and supplying the small boxes to the carton magazine in the cartoning machine is manual work, so the workability is extremely poor. In other words, it usually takes about one to two minutes to remove a small box from a shipping box, so it takes 10 times to remove a small box in one shipping box. It is also relatively thick and heavy when grasping and taking out about 20 small boxes, so if this operation is repeated for a long period of time, it is likely that hand and other disorders such as tendinitis will occur. The problem has been pointed out. Also, since this work is a standing operation, it requires a lot of labor and is easily disliked by female workers, and it has been expected that this kind of work would be improved.

Therefore, the present invention requires relatively little labor to remove the small boxes from the transport box and to align about 600 folded small boxes on an empty bucket. The purpose of the present invention is to propose a stowage aid suitable for quickly loading the carton feeder in an aligned state without causing any health problems.
