[0022]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, an embodiment of a bicycle packing device according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a bicycle packing device according to the present invention, in which (a) is a relatively small bicycle packing device, in which a band is hung on a front frame and a rear wheel. (B) is a relatively large bicycle packing device, in which a band is hung on each of a front wheel and a rear wheel. 2A and 2B show another embodiment of the packing apparatus according to the present invention, and FIG. 2A is an overall front view showing an example in which the packing material has a protrusion protection member and a handle. Indicates the cross section of the double cardboard paper on which the handle is provided. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a conventional example of a packing box for accommodating a bicycle. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a conventional example of packing a bicycle integrally.

The packing device shown in FIG. 1A has a structure in which a packing material 10 covers the bicycle 1 so as to wind both side portions, a bottom portion, and an upper portion, and bands 2 and 3 are provided on an upper portion. . The packing material 10 is made of one piece of packing material, and there is no packing member on the side face. Also, the packaging material is a flat one without a flap surface member on the upper top plate portion 10a. The band 2 is passed over the front frame 1a, which is one of the components of the bicycle 1, so as to seal the top plate 10a. The band 3 is also wound around a rear wheel 1c, which is one of the components of the bicycle 1, and is configured to fasten the bicycle 1 and the packing material 10.

As described above, the bicycle 1 and the packing material 10 are fastened by the bands 2 and 3, so that the bicycle 1 can be suspended or moved while holding the bands 2 and 3. In addition, even when the front and rear surfaces (wife surface) are open, the bicycle 1 does not shift from the packaging material 10.

Reference numeral 10b denotes an opening through which the stand 1e is taken in and out, and may have an opening shape corresponding to the shape of the stand 1e. The stand 1e is protruded from the opening 10b to be put into a use state, the bicycle 1 can be stored in an upright state, and the bicycle 1 can be transported independently by itself.

FIG. 1B shows a packing material 10 provided with a protection portion 10c for the handle 1b and a front hanging portion 10d for protecting the front portion of the basket 1f. Further, the band 4 is stretched over the front wheel 1d, and in cooperation with the band 3 stretched over the rear wheel 1c, the bicycle 1 and the packing material 10 are fastened to prevent displacement. . For this reason, this packing device is suitable for packing a relatively large bicycle in which the handle 1b is rotated to be in a state parallel to the bicycle body, and the end of the handle 1b protrudes from the top plate 10a. It is.

Where to put the band may be changed according to the size of the bicycle and the wheels, and is not particularly limited. However, in order to transport the bicycle 1 in a stable position, it is better to extend the band over two places. Therefore, if the front and rear wheels are large, if the front and rear wheels are wrapped around the front and rear wheels, the front and rear wheels do not fluctuate when transporting the bicycle 1, and the posture thereof is particularly stable.

The front hanging portion 10d is used when the basket 1f is mounted on the bicycle 1 so that the basket 1f is not damaged during transportation, and it is not necessary to consider the damage. In such a case, it is possible to eliminate the need. As described above, a configuration may be adopted in which a protection member is appropriately attached to the protruding portion or a portion that needs to be protected.

The packing device shown in FIG. 2A has the same form as the packing device shown in FIG. 1B, and protects the protection portion 11c of the handle 1b and the front portion of the basket 1f with the packing material 11. And a front hanging portion 11b. In this example, a relatively durable material such as a double-size cardboard shown in FIG. 2B is used as a packing material, and a handle 11f is provided. If the packing material is relatively durable, the bicycle 1 and the packing material 11 can be fixed by attaching a band to an arbitrary place, and can be transported by using the handle 11f provided on the side surface.

Further, the packing material 11 may be partially cut away to have a rear opening 11 h so that the saddle 1 g of the bicycle 1 can be gripped from the outside. In such a case, the packaged bicycle 1 can be transported by inserting a hand through the rear opening 11h and holding the saddle 1g.

When the rear opening 11h is applied to a packing material for banding, the bicycle 1 can be transported while gripping one band and the saddle 1g.

The packing material 11 is a double-sized cardboard paper provided with two (double) corrugated sheets 11d and a flat plate 11e on each side, and the corrugated sheet 11d is made of one single sheet. Since the strength is much higher than the cardboard paper, a part of the handle 11f can be formed by hollowing out a part.

The handle 1b is configured to be packaged by being rotated by 90 degrees with respect to the body frame so as to be parallel to the body frame. Therefore, depending on the size and shape of the handle 1b, the top of the packing material 11 may be used. There is a case where it jumps out above the plate portion 11a. In this case, the protection section 11c may be attached. The protection portion 11c is a box-shaped member made of the same material as the packing material 11. The front hanging portion 11b only needs to be large enough to cover the basket 1f of the bicycle 1, and may be formed as a bent portion in the packing material 11 from the beginning. Moreover, it is also possible to provide it separately from the packing material 11.

The amount of packing material actually reduced by the packing method according to the present invention is as shown in FIG. 1 (b). 0.8 kilograms. The weight loss was 2.3 kilograms, and a weight reduction effect of 56% was obtained.

This is because the packing material is not required for the upper and lower flap surfaces and the end surfaces on both sides.

Further, the band is also constructed so as to extend over only the upper end portion, and it is possible to save 65% as compared with the conventional case where the band extends over the entire outer periphery of the packing material. In addition, adhesive tapes, needles, and the like, which were required in the past, have become unnecessary.

As the packing material, a material that can be easily disposed of is preferably used. In the present invention, cardboard paper was used. This is because they are easy to obtain, recyclable, and easy to incinerate when discarded, and the disposal cost is low. There are single and double types of corrugated cardboard, and both can be used in the present invention. In particular, when the packing material shown in Fig. 1 (b) was made from single cardboard paper, the weight was 1kg, which is even more effective than the 1.8kg when double size is used. The result was. However, other materials can be used as the material of the packing material. For example, a non-woven fabric made of fibers that can be biodegraded by simply burying them in the soil after use may be used. It seems possible.

Although the description has been given of a single packing material, the packing material may be divided into a side portion, a top portion, a bottom portion, and the like. In this case, it is possible to fix multiple packing materials to the bicycle collectively by considering the mounting position of the band that fixes the packing materials to the bicycle. However, from the viewpoint of packaging material cost and assembly cost, it is preferable that the packaging material is constituted by one sheet.

[0040] The packing device according to the present invention can be packed for each bicycle. Even when various packages are mixed and transported at the same time, adjacent packages are not damaged and can be easily handled. Can be transported.

[0041]

Since the packing device is configured so that the packing material is fixed around the bicycle by a band that is attached so as to penetrate, it is necessary to cover the bicycle alone with a single packing material that does not have a flap portion and a wife surface portion. Thus, it is possible to obtain a packing device that can be transported by reducing the amount of packing material used.

According to the invention of claim 2, since the packing material is provided with an opening for enabling the use of a bicycle stand, and the packaged bicycle is configured to be self-supporting, the bicycle can be placed in the packaging state. It can be stored and transported in an independent state.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, when packing the bicycle, the bicycle is configured to be packaged with the handle portion of the bicycle parallel to the bicycle main body. In addition, since the handle is parallel to the bicycle body, the packaging material does not protrude to the side, and the bicycle can be packed and transported in a stable shape with a small amount of packaging material.

According to the invention of claim 4, the band is inserted through the gap between the components of the bicycle, and is mounted so as to fasten the packing material on both sides and the packing material on the upper surface, and suspends the bicycle. Since the bicycle can be lowered, the bicycle and the packing material are fastened, and the handle portion is also used for transportation, so that the bicycle can be easily packaged and transported.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, since the packaging material is made of a material that can be easily disposed of, even if a large amount of bicycles are transported, the disposal of the packaging material can be performed easily. It is possible to obtain an eco-friendly bicycle packing device.

According to the present invention, since the packing material is made of corrugated cardboard, it is easy to obtain, recyclable, and easy to incinerate at the time of disposal. It is possible to obtain a packaging material having a low disposal cost, and it is possible to obtain a bicycle packaging device which does not damage adjacent articles during transportation.

According to the invention of claim 7, the band is inserted into the gap between the front wheel portions of the bicycle, and the band for fastening the packing material on both side portions and the packing material on the upper surface portion and the gap between the rear wheel portion are formed. It is configured so that it is inserted and two bands are provided to fasten the packing material on both sides and the packing material on the upper surface. Therefore, even when the bicycle is packed and wound, it is engaged with both wheels of the bicycle. By gripping the band provided, the bicycle and the packing material do not shift, and both wheels can be transported with a stable posture without fluttering.
