Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a form storage box for storing a continuous form or a single piece form in a stacked state, and more particularly to a form storage box suitable for storing a form that is inclined in one direction when a large number of stacked forms are stacked.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, when continuous forms are folded and stacked in a zigzag shape, the thickness at the end of the folded portion accumulates as the amount of deposition increases, and the central portion becomes greatly dented in a U shape, causing the deposition state to be unstable. It is known to become. Conventionally, as a countermeasure, a support member that supports the center part of the form so as to rise is provided on the stage for placing the folded continuous form.
[0003]
However, in the case of a continuous form 100 in which a unit form 102 provided with a label 101 as shown in FIG. When a large number of zigzag folds are stacked, the thickness of the label 101 portion accumulates as the amount of deposition increases, so that it is inclined in one direction as shown in FIG. Inclined upward. In addition, this inclined state is a case where a single piece form (corresponding to the unit form 102 in which the perforation 103 for folding and cutting is broken) is stacked so that the label 101 corresponds to the top and bottom. Also occurs.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
And since the deposition state inclined in one direction is different from the deposition state in which the central portion is largely U-shaped, it is not possible to adjust with a support member that supports the central portion of the form to be raised as in the past. Can not. In addition, the conventional support member generally has a circular cross section so that the central part of the form protrudes upward in a rounded shape, and both sides of the support part in the form are rapidly lowered. Therefore, it is not suitable for supporting the descending end side, which is one end side of the accumulated forms, to be raised.
[0005]
On the other hand, when the inclined form shown in FIG. 5 is stored without any supporting members in a general form storage box having a bottom face and four side faces, the accumulated state does not collapse if the sizes of the forms do not match. In addition to being difficult to store, when the form is supplied to a paper processing apparatus such as a print, there is a problem that the form cannot be smoothly taken out from the form storage box because it is inclined. In addition, the conventional form storage box with the bottom and four sides of the conventional is completely closed on all sides, so the air resistance is particularly large when pulling out continuous forms from the form storage box. There is also a disadvantage that the operation cannot be performed easily and smoothly. An object of this invention is to provide the form storage box which eliminated such inconvenience.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve this object, the form storage box according to claim 1 of the present application has a bottom face and four side faces, and stores a form that is inclined in one direction when a large number of stacks are stacked, and stores the stored form. A base support member that supports the lower end side to be raised so as to adjust the inclination state of the base plate is disposed on the bottom surface, and the base support member has a triangular cross section, and the base of the triangle among the three vertices of the triangle shape corresponding opposite end to the one the falling edge of the form of 2 vertices at both ends, wherein the other and the remaining 1 vertex of two vertexes also of a is the corresponding position on the falling edge side from the center of the form .
[0007]
Similarly, in order to achieve this object, the form storage box according to claim 2 of the present application is such that the form of the basic support member according to claim 1 described above is substantially horizontal so that the form located substantially in the center of the stacking direction is horizontal. In other words, it is configured so that the height can be adjusted to support the stacked form so that it is substantially plane-symmetric with respect to the form located in the center of the stacking direction. By changing the height of the cross-sectional triangle, the height can be adjusted.
[0008]
Furthermore, in order to achieve this object, the form storage box described in claim 3 of the present application is configured to be able to open and close at least one of the four side surfaces described in claim 1, preferably two adjacent surfaces. It is a thing.
[0009]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. Here, FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a form storage box in which a part of a form support member showing a form unstored state is omitted, FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing a form storage state, and FIG. 3 is a form storage showing a form storage state. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing an example of a continuous form to be stored, and FIG. 5 is a side view showing an inclined state during deposition.
[0010]
As shown in FIG. 1, the form storage box 1 is made of cardboard, and includes a bottom surface 1a, a rear side surface 1b, a left side surface 1c, a right side surface 1d, a front side left portion 1e, a front side right portion 1f, The auxiliary front side surface 1g is provided. The front side left part 1e and the front side right part 1f form a front side opposite to the rear side 1b, the right side 1d, the front side left part 1e, the front side right part 1f, Is in a discontinuous state separated from the bottom surface 1a, and the right side surface 1d and the front side surfaces 1e and 1f adjacent thereto can be opened and closed.
[0011]
When a large number of form storage boxes 1 are stacked, a form that is inclined in one direction (see FIG. 5) as the amount of accumulation increases (for example, a unit form 102 provided with a label 101 on one end shown in FIG. 4) is folded. A continuous form 100 connected in a large number through cutting perforations 103 is stored in a stacked state folded in a zigzag manner at the folding and cutting perforations 103. On the bottom surface 1a, the accumulated continuous forms 100 are stored. In order to adjust the inclined state of 100, a form support member 2 is placed that supports the one end side of the lowered state corresponding to almost half of the width direction of the form.
[0012]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the form support member 2 includes a first base support member 2a having a wide bottom surface and a second base support having an isosceles triangle shape, which is formed by bending cardboard or the like into a triangular cross section. A member 2b and a placement support member 2c (not shown in FIG. 1) made of thick paper such as cardboard for supporting the continuous forms 100 placed and deposited on the base support members 2a and 2b. Each of the foundation support members 2a and 2b can change the shape of the triangular section by changing the folding position, and the height can be adjusted by changing the shape. The placement support member 2c may not be provided depending on circumstances.
[0013]
Next, how to use the above-described form storage box 1 will be described. First, the height of each base support member 2a, 2b is adjusted in accordance with the inclination of the continuous form 100 to be stored, which is folded and stacked by the folding and cutting perforation 103. As described above, the height adjustment of each of the foundation support members 2a and 2b is performed by changing the folding position and changing the height of the cross-sectional triangle. As shown in FIG. In other words, the unit form 102 corresponding to the two-dot chain line P substantially at the center in the stacking direction is arranged so that the unit form 102 at the position corresponding to the two-dot chain line P approximately at the center in the stacking direction of the certain continuous form 100 is almost horizontal. The deposition is performed so as to be substantially plane-symmetric with respect to 102.
[0014]
That is, the highest position of the first foundation support member 2a is located at a position slightly shifted to the left side in FIG. 2 from the center in the width direction of the continuous form 100, and the highest position of the second foundation support member 2b is the first foundation support member. 2a is slightly lower than the highest position, and the uppermost surface and the lowermost surface of the continuous form 100 in the accumulated state are almost symmetrical with a slightly rounded shape in the central portion in the width direction. To be. With this setting, the change in inclination in the process from the uppermost surface to the lowermost surface is reduced, so that the operation of continuously drawing out the continuous form 100 can be performed reliably and smoothly.
[0015]
When the height of each of the basic support members 2a and 2b is adjusted so that the uppermost surface of the continuous form 100 in the accumulated state is substantially horizontal, the support state of the continuous form 100 is reversed up and down in FIG. Since the drawing operation of the continuous form 100 proceeds, the inclination becomes tighter as it goes to the lower surface, hindering the smooth drawing operation, and the folding and cutting perforation 103 is broken or fed. There is a risk of a situation such as being caught by a roller or a guide member.
[0016]
Thus, after adjusting the height of each foundation supporting member 2a, 2b, the front side left and right parts 1e, 1f, the right side surface 1d, and the auxiliary front side surface 1g are opened (see FIG. 1), and are continuously in a deposited state. When the form 100 is placed on the placement support member 2 c, the continuous form 100 is supported in the state of FIG. 2 and is stably stored in the form storage box 1. When the continuous forms 100 are stored, the two adjacent side surfaces are open, so that even a large amount of continuous forms 100 can be easily maintained while maintaining the accumulated state.
[0017]
In order to supply the continuous form 100 to an appropriate processing apparatus such as a printer, the continuous form 100 is pulled out upward or forward in the opened state and set and transferred to the transfer mechanism of the processing apparatus. That's fine. Here, since the two sides of the form storage box 1 are opened, the continuous form 100 is drawn out continuously and smoothly from the form storage box 1 without being subjected to a large air resistance during the transfer. It is supplied to an appropriate processing device.
[0018]
On the other hand, when storing the continuous form 100 in the form storage box 1, the front side left and right parts 1e and 1f and the right side face 1d are preferably opened after the continuous form 100 is wrapped with a moisture-proof sheet. In the closed state, when the auxiliary front side surface 1g, which is also in the open state, is overlaid on the left and right portions 1e and 1f of the front side surface and the upper cover 3 is put on the open upper surface, as shown in FIG. The storage box 1 is closed and can be handled in the same manner as a normal storage box.
[0019]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, the form stored in the form storage box 1 is not limited to the continuous form 100 but may be a single piece form. Further, the form storage box 1 can ensure the ease of storing and taking out even if the openable side face is not limited to two adjacent faces but only one face. Furthermore, as the form support member 2, the placement support member 2c is not necessarily required, and by arranging the two base support members 2a and 2b, the form in the accumulated state can be obtained as a form located almost in the center of the accumulation direction. Although it is easy to adjust the height for supporting it so as to be substantially horizontal, it is possible to form the form support member 2 with only the base support member 2a. Furthermore, the auxiliary front side surface 1g and the upper lid 3 are not necessarily required.
[0020]
【The invention's effect】
As is apparent from the above description, according to the form storage box described in claim 1 of the present invention, it is possible to store a form inclined in one direction in the accumulated state without breaking the accumulated state, and from the form storage box. also in the form unloading operation an effect called be smoothly.
[0021]
Further, according to the form storage box described in claim 2 of the present invention, it is possible to store the form inclined in one direction in the accumulated state without destroying the accumulated state, and it is also possible to take out the form from the form storage box. Since there is little change in inclination from the upper form to the lowest form, there is an effect that smooth and reliable operation is always performed from the start to the end of the operation.
[0022]
Furthermore, according to the form storage box described in claim 3 of the present invention, the form inclined in one direction in the accumulated state can be accommodated without breaking the accumulated state, and at least one of the four side surfaces can be opened. In addition to being able to easily perform the operation and the taking-out operation, there is an effect that the continuous drawing-out operation of the continuous form is smoothly and reliably performed without receiving a large air resistance.
