Description

  The present invention relates to a corrugated cardboard box, and more particularly to a corrugated cardboard box sealed by adhering an adhesive tape to a butt portion of a pair of outer lids.

  Corrugated cardboard boxes are used to wrap or pack various contents for distribution and transportation. Its role is not only to deliver the contents to the user as they are shipped without damaging the contents, but also to damage the contents when unpacking at the user's hand. It must be able to be removed. In particular, in the case where the contents are medical equipment such as a blood bag or a chemical solution bag, the repair is extremely difficult or impossible if even a little damaged, and great care is required.

  In this regard, if it is a cardboard box with a built-in outer lid, it can be packed and unpacked without sticking the lid with adhesive tape etc., but it is the cheapest and large-scale supply of the A-type or mandarin orange box In the type of cardboard box, the outer lid is closed after the inner lid is closed, and the butt portion thereof must be adhered with an adhesive tape or the like. In the latter case, when unpacking, the adhesive tape is often cut using a blade such as a cutter without peeling off the adhesive tape. Usually, so-called care marks such as `` Cutter Caution '' are applied to prevent damage according to the importance of the contents, but adhesive tape etc. are difficult to remove, troublesome, or reuse of cardboard boxes Actually, the adhesive tape is frequently cut with a blade such as a cutter for reasons such as thinking and unpacking it cleanly.

  In order to cope with such a situation, conventionally, as one solution, a tag is attached in advance to the end of the adhesive piece attached to the cardboard box so that the end does not stick to the cardboard box. The means of opening without using a cutter such as a cutter by peeling off from the end with the tag has been used. However, this improves the openability, but in addition to the cost increase due to the modification of the related equipment and the addition of tag paper tape members to attach the tag, the tag may get caught in the way when transported to the warehouse, or it may be transported At times, there were problems such as peeling of the adhesive tape from the tag.

  On the other hand, as another conventional solution, a notch is made at a position corresponding to the end of the adhesive tape of the cardboard box, and a part of the cardboard box is broken by pushing the portion inward. It has been proposed to insert a finger into the opening and peel off the adhesive tape. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, a substantially L-shaped notch is obliquely made on the side surface of the cardboard box with respect to the end of the adhesive tape, and the bottom portion of the L-shape is pushed into the inside of the cardboard box. It is known that a finger is put in a gap formed between a corrugated cardboard box and an adhesive tape and the adhesive tape is peeled off. Furthermore, in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 2-63323 (Patent Document 1), as shown in FIG. 10, a knob portion and a pushing portion are provided on the side surface of the cardboard box, and the pushing portion is pushed into the cardboard box to form a space. A means for inserting a finger into the space, grasping and pulling up the knob part, and peeling off the adhesive tape attached to the knob part is disclosed.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 2-63323

  However, in the corrugated cardboard box shown in FIG. 9, when the L-shaped bottom part is pushed in and pulled up, the tip of the adhesive tape is not peeled off from the relevant part of the corrugated cardboard box so that they are mixed and crushed. As a result, the adhesive tem cannot be peeled off smoothly, and the peeled trace remains as a crushed space, so that the cardboard box cannot be reused. Further, in the cardboard box according to Patent Document 1 shown in FIG. 10, the tip of the adhesive tape is not crushed, but the knob portion is completely removed from the side surface of the cardboard box. There is a problem that after removing the tab portion, a space is removed, and the cardboard box cannot be reused.
