[Prior art]
Dosimeters, so-called badges, used to measure individual doses of radiation, are sent from radiation dose equivalent measurers to hospitals, various research institutes, factories, reactor facilities, etc., and work to handle radiation at these facilities After a person wears it for a certain period, it is returned to the radiation exposure dose equivalent measurer to measure the exposure dose, which is useful for the health management of workers. Such dosimeters have the same shape and quantity when shipped and returned. In addition to dosimeters, the shape and quantity do not change before and after exposure as in the case of outdoor weathering test specimens, and the shape and quantity do not change before and after exposure as in special photographic film. There are a variety of articles.
For such articles having the same shape and quantity at the time of shipping and returning, the same box should be able to be used for shipping and returning. However, taking a dosimeter as an example, the period from when the user receives the dosimeter from the dosimeter service provider to returning it is relatively long, and the box is opened and closed repeatedly to put in and out the dosimeter. In many cases, the box is damaged and the shipping invoice attached to the box is peeled off and it is troublesome to attach the return invoice. It was.
For this reason, there has been a demand for an easy-to-use returnable box that can be used for shipping and returning the same shape and quantity of articles.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention has been made for the purpose of providing a returnable box that can be suitably used for the purpose of boxing and shipping articles of the same shape and quantity.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventor has a go-to box having two outer top surface flaps and a locking tongue piece with dimensions covering the entire top surface provided with an insertion at the tip. At the time of shipment, the first outer surface flap is outside and is locked with a locking tongue piece, and at the time of return, the second outer surface flap is outside, so that the same shape and quantity of articles can be shipped and returned. Based on this finding, the present invention has been completed.
That is, the present invention is a paper return box having two opposing outer top surface flaps and two opposing upper surface flaps, each of the two outer top surface flaps having a slit on the tip side. Except for the width, it has dimensions that cover the entire top surface, and the address of the return shipping box is displayed on the surface of the first top surface flap, and the surface of the return box is displayed on the surface of the second top surface flap. The address of the shipping source is displayed, and the two opposing top surface flaps are formed to lock each other, and the first top surface flap is inserted into the front end of the flap and a locking tongue piece A slit for insertion and a slit for insertion at the rear end of the flap, the second outer top flap is inserted at the tip of the flap, has a slit for insertion and a locking tongue at the rear end of the flap, When the top flap is on the outside and the second top flap is on the inside The insertion of the first top flap end is inserted into the insertion slit at the rear end of the second top flap, and the locking tongue piece at the rear end of the second flap is the locking tongue of the first top flap tip. When inserted into the slit 4 for one piece and the first top flap is overlapped on the inside and the second top flap is overlapped on the outside, the tip of the second top flap is inserted at the rear end of the first top flap. The return box is characterized by being inserted into the slit for use.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 is a development view of one aspect of the returnable box of the present invention. The returnable box of this aspect has a first outer top flap 1 and a second outer top flap 2, and the two outer top flaps both have a top width except for the slit width on the tip side. The dimension covers the entire surface. The first top outer flap has an insertion 3 and a locking tongue piece slit 4 at the front end of the flap, and an insertion slit 5 at the rear end of the flap. The second outer top flap has an insertion 6 at the front end of the flap, and has an insertion slit 7 and a locking tongue piece 8 at the rear end of the flap. The returnable box of this embodiment is pasted with a joint 9 to form a box shape.
[0006]
2 (a) and 2 (b) are perspective views of the returnable box of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 2 (a) shows a state before closing the first outer top flap at the time of shipment. FIG. 2B shows a state in which the first top flap is closed at the time of shipment. In the returnable box of the present invention, it is preferable to stack the first outer top flap 1 on the outside and the second outer top flap 2 on the inside at the time of shipment. The locking tongue piece 8 is opened to the outside of the box, and the insertion 3 at the tip of the first top surface flap is inserted into the insertion slit 7 at the rear end of the second top surface flap. Next, the locking tongue piece 8 is inserted into the locking tongue piece slit 4 at the tip of the first top surface flap to fix the first top surface flap. An invoice can be attached to the first outer flap. In recent years, since the handling of the carrier has been polite, it can usually be shipped in this state, but the first top flap can also be fixed with adhesive tape or the like if necessary. .
[0007]
3 (a) and 3 (b) are perspective views of the returnable box of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 (a) shows a state before closing the second outer top flap when returning. FIG. 3B shows a state in which the second top surface flap is closed at the time of return. When returning the returnable box of the present invention, it is preferable to overlap the first outer flap 1 on the inside and the second outer flap 2 on the outside. The insertion 6 at the tip of the second outer top flap is inserted into the insertion slit 5 at the rear end of the first outer top flap. Since the return destination of the returnable box at the time of return is often the shipping source at the time of shipment, it is possible to save the trouble by printing the destination in advance on the second off-top flap. At the time of returning, it is preferable to fix the second top surface flap with an adhesive tape or the like. At the time of return, the locking tongue piece 8 can be overlapped with the outside of the first outer top surface flap and fixed with an adhesive tape or the like, or can be inserted into the locking tongue piece slit.
[0008]
The returnable box of the present invention has two top surface flaps. Although there is no restriction | limiting in particular in the shape of a top surface flap, In the returnable box of the aspect shown in FIG. 1, the two top surface flaps 10 and 11 become a shape which mutually locks. By locking the two top surface flaps to each other, the contents can be stably stored and held.
