It is explanatory drawing of the return method.

  1 and 2, the packing device 1 includes a pair of upper and lower packing materials 3 that are placed on the upper surface and the lower surface, which are opposite surfaces of a kitchen cabinet 2 (hereinafter simply referred to as a cabinet 2) as a packaged body, Inside the packing material 3, it is formed between the four cushioning materials 4 inserted in the corners of the left and right width direction end portions of the upper surface and the lower surface of the cabinet 2 and the upper and lower packing materials 3 on the front side of the cabinet 2. It is comprised by the protective material 5 inserted in the open surface 7, and a pair of binding material 6 etc. which fasten the left-right width direction both ends on the outer side of the upper and lower packing materials 2.

  The upper and lower packing materials 3 are formed in the same shape, and paper or resin such as corrugated cardboard is used as the material, and the boat-shaped packing shape is set along the preset fold lines 8a to 8c described later. The shape can be changed to a return shape that is a return shape, that is, can be expanded and assembled, and can be returned (returned and reused). In the packing shape shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the packing material 3 has a rectangular bottom wall portion 3 a having an area slightly larger than the upper and lower surfaces of the cabinet 2 and a vertical state around the bottom wall portion 3 a. The two outer peripheral wall portions 3b on the long side and the two outer peripheral wall portions 3c on the short side which are bent upright are set in a boat shape having a depth corresponding to the height of the outer peripheral wall portions 3b and 3c. It is like that.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG.3 and FIG.4, the packing material 3 in this boat shape (packing shape) is the outer edge of each outer peripheral wall part 3b of a long side in each corner | angular part, and each outer periphery of a short side. The end of the wall 3c is locked by the locking means 9 including a pair of planar fasteners 9a, 9b such as Velcro (registered trademark), and is locked by the locking means 9. Opening handles 11 are respectively provided in the double wall portions where the outer peripheral wall portions 3b and 3c of the sheets overlap.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 4, one planar fastener 9a is fixed to the inner surface side of the end of the outer peripheral wall 3b of the packing material 3 with a double-sided adhesive tape or the like, and the bent end of the outer peripheral wall 3c is The other planar fastener 9b is similarly fixed to the outer surface side, and the end portion of the outer peripheral wall portion 3c that is bent is placed inside the outer peripheral wall portion 3b, and the end portions of both outer peripheral wall portions 3b and 3c are brought into contact with each other. By doing so, each planar fastener 9a, 9b is locked, and both outer peripheral wall parts 3b, 3c are assembled. That is, the four outer peripheral wall portions 3 b and 3 c of the packing body 3 are set in a boat shape by locking the adjacent end portions with the planar fastener 9.

  Note that the locking means 9 for locking the end portions of the two outer peripheral wall portions 3b and 3c is not limited to the use of the planar fasteners 9a and 9b, for example, as shown by a three-dot chain line a in FIG. You may use the latching button 10 which has the latching | locking part 10a. In this case, a locking hole 12 through which the locking button 10 can penetrate is formed in each of the outer peripheral wall portions 3b, 3c of the packing material 3, and the locking button 10 is directed from one side of the locking hole 12 to the other side. Is pressed using the elastic deformation, and the locking portion 10a of the locking button 10 is locked to the end edge of the locking hole 12, so that the ends of the adjacent outer peripheral wall portions 3b and 3c are locked. . Further, as another locking means 9, for example, a locking hook is attached to one of the outer peripheral wall portions 3b, 3c, and this locking hook is connected to a locking hole or an appropriate locking portion of the other outer peripheral wall portion 3c, 3b. For example, an appropriate locking means 9 that can detachably lock both adjacent outer peripheral wall portions 3b and 3c can be employed.

  Moreover, the said handle 11 of the packing material 3 was provided in the both ends of the outer peripheral wall part 3b by the side of a long side, and was provided in four corners in the expansion | deployment shape which is a return shape of the packing material 3, as shown in FIG. It is formed by a pair of substantially elliptical openings 11a respectively drilled at both side target positions with respect to the cut 8d. The opening 11a communicates inside and outside when the adjacent outer peripheral wall portions 3b and 3c are bent, and, of the pair of openings 11a, for example, the edge of the opening 11a of the outer peripheral wall portion 3b which is the outer side is a hand. A handle cover 11b such as a resin cover that also serves to improve the ease of holding, prevent damage to the hand, and reinforce the edge of the opening is detachably (or fixedly) provided.

  Further, the packing material 3 is provided with an opening 13 in the boat shape shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, in which the cushioning material 4 is exposed to the outside to prevent damage to the housing wall surface and the like, and the bottom wall Sliding members 14 formed of, for example, a hard synthetic resin plate or the like as a sliding mechanism are detachably provided at both ends in the left-right width direction of the outer surface of the portion 3a. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, a circular hole 13a having a predetermined inner diameter is formed so that the center 25 of the circle is located at the intersection of the folding lines 8a to 8c, which are corners of the unfolded packing material 3. With this circular hole 13a, when the outer peripheral wall portions 3b and 3c are bent and assembled vertically, openings 13 are formed at the corners of the packing material 3.

  At this time, due to the opening 13 formed of the circular hole 13a, a load when the outer peripheral wall portions 3b and 3c are bent is evenly applied on the circumference of the circle, and the opening 13 portion is prevented from being torn. ing. As the shape of the opening 13, the circular hole 13 a is most preferable from the viewpoint of preventing tearing. However, in the case of the packing material 3 such as a material that is difficult to tear, a polygonal opening 13 such as a quadrangle or an octagon may be used. Of course it is possible. The folding lines 8a to 8c of the packing material 3 are formed by, for example, concave portions or thin portions arranged in a straight line (or at predetermined intervals) on the surface of the corrugated cardboard in the folding direction, and bent in a predetermined direction. Wrinkles are added to enable repeated folding.

  And by forming the opening 13 in the packing material 3 in this way, in the packing state shown in FIG. 1, the cushioning material inserted inside from the four corner openings 13 of the upper and lower packing materials 3. 4 corners 4a are exposed to the outside. When the packaged body (referred to as a packaged item) packed in the packaging device 1 is brought into the house by the cushioning action of the cushioning material 4 exposed from the opening 13 of the packaging material 3 and more flexible than the packaging material 3, etc. Even when the corner portion of the package comes into contact with the wall surface of the house, damage to the wall surface is prevented.

  Further, the sliding member 14 is made of a sheet-like member having a lubricity on its surface, a hard synthetic resin plate, or the like, and left and right on the outer surface of the bottom wall portion 3a of the packing material 3 as shown in FIGS. Inside the fold line 8b at both ends in the width direction, it is detachably attached by a locking means (not shown) similar to the planar fastener, the locking button and the like. The sliding member 14 facilitates movement when the package is held sideways, and increases the rigidity of the bottom wall 3a itself of the packing material 3. The sliding member 14 may be provided on both the upper and lower packing materials 3, or may be provided only on the lower packing material 3 when the top and bottom of the package is specified.

  The buffer material 4 is formed, for example, in an L-shaped cross section by a resin material such as foamed polystyrene, foamed polyethylene, or soft rubber, and the length thereof is an outer peripheral wall on the short side of the packing material 3 as shown in FIG. It is set to be slightly shorter than the length of the portion 3c, and is inserted into substantially the entire area in the corners at both ends in the left-right width direction of the boat-shaped packing material 3 at the time of packing, as indicated by an arrow A in FIG.

  Further, the protective material 5 is a resin plate or cardboard plate having a predetermined plate thickness and a predetermined rigidity, and as shown in FIG. 2, both ends in the left-right width direction can be bent along a fold line 5a. Is formed. In the packing form shown in FIG. 1, one protective material 5 is provided so as to cover the front side of the cabinet 2 and the front end portions of both side surfaces. However, for example, two L-shaped protective materials 5 are provided in the cabinet 2. It is also possible to have a configuration in which the front surface and both side surfaces of the cabinet 2 are covered at the same time by arranging the left and right side surfaces of the protective material 5 from the front to the front and making the front end portions of both protective materials 5 substantially contacted. The shape can be appropriately changed according to the size of the cabinet 2 and the surface to be protected.

  Further, the binding material 6 uses a cloth band having a predetermined length, and is sewn to the outer surface of the bottom wall portion 3a of the packing material 3 at a predetermined position in the length direction. By means, it is lightly fixed so that it does not come off. And the latching tool 15 (refer FIG. 2) is each attached to one edge part of each binding material 6, The other edge part of the binding material 6 is inserted and latched by this locking tool 15 Thus, the upper and lower packing materials 3 are fastened (bundled) with a predetermined force by the pair of binding materials 6. Note that the binding material 6 is not limited to the use of a cloth band, and for example, a PP band, a vinyl string, a rubber string, or the like can also be used.

  Further, labels 16 as identification means are attached (applied) to the upper and lower packing materials 3, the cushioning material 4, and the protective material 5 that form the packing device 1. That is, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, the label 16 is provided with a product name (model number) 16a such as a product name and model number of the cabinet 2, a barcode 16b, and the like. As shown in FIG. In the case of the front surface side outer peripheral wall 3b, in the case of the protective material 5 on the upper surface in the width direction of the surface, and in the case of the buffer material 4 as shown in FIG. Affixed with an adhesive or the like. And, for example, the barcode 16b of each label 16 affixed to the lower packing material 3 to which the upper packing material 3 and the binding material 6 are fixed, the four cushioning materials 4 and one protective material 5 are assigned the same number. The set management of each member becomes possible by setting to the set number such as.

  Further, when the packaging material 3 or the like is returned from the construction site of the cabinet 2 to the manufacturing factory, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. Is attached and set management is performed by a new number. When the returned packaging material 3 or the like is reused, the label 16 need not be peeled off one by one when the returned packaging material 3 or the like is reused, and the efficiency of the packaging work described later can be improved.

  The identification means is not limited to the use of the label 16 having the barcode 16b, but an electronic label (electronic storage medium) such as a wireless tag (IC tag) can also be used. For example, since various types of information can be stored and read out, the first reattachment eliminates the need to re-attach the label, such as the label 16, and also includes various types of information about the packing operation and various types of information about the package. In addition, it is possible to easily manage a large number of information such as various types of information such as a destination house and various types of information at the time of return. The label 16 is not only applied to all the members constituting the packaging device 1, but, for example, only the destination label 18 attached to the upper packaging material 3 is used for the entire package including the packaging device 1. It is also possible to configure to manage from shipment to return of the packing device 1. Moreover, the label 16 affixed to each member of the packaging apparatus 1, the product number label 17 affixed on the back surface of the cabinet 2 shown in FIGS. Can be associated with each other for shipping management (information management).

  Next, an example of a packing method for the cabinet 2 using the packing device 1 configured as described above and a method for returning the packing device 1 will be described. First, when packing the cabinet 2 using the packing device 1, the upper and lower packing materials 3, the four cushioning materials 4 and the one protective material 5 are prepared, and the upper and lower packing materials 3 are each formed into a boat shape. assemble. The assembly of each packing material 3 is carried out from the flat developed shape, which is the return shape shown in FIG. In addition to bending in the direction, both end portions of the outer peripheral wall 3c are bent along the folding line 8c as shown by arrows C to obtain the state shown in FIG. At this time, the outer peripheral wall portion 3c can be bent smoothly because the folding position is specified by the folding lines 8b and 8c and the bending lines 8b and 8c are provided with bending folds. This also applies to the fold line 8a of the outer peripheral wall 3b.

  When the outer peripheral wall portion 3c on the short side is bent, the outer peripheral wall portion 3b on the long side is then bent along the folding line 8a as shown by the arrow D in FIG. The fastener 9a is latched to the planar fastener 9b at the end of the outer peripheral wall 3c on the short side that is bent. Thereby, as shown in FIG.6 (c), the packaging material 3 is shape-changed from the expansion | deployment shape to the boat shape (packing shape) in which each outer peripheral wall part 3b, 3c became the perpendicular | vertical state with respect to the bottom wall part 3a. Therefore, the lower packing material 3 is also assembled and set into a boat shape in the same procedure. A pair of binding materials 6 are fixed to the outer surface of the bottom wall portion 3a of the lower packing material 3.

  Once the upper and lower packing materials 3 are set in a boat shape, the lower packing material 3 is then set in a set state in which each tip of the binding material 6 protrudes in the front-rear width direction. As shown in FIG. 3, the pair of cushioning members 4 are respectively inserted and inserted as shown by arrows a. And while putting the bottom face part of the cabinet 2 on the buffer material 4 in this packing material 3, the lower end part is set inside the lower packing material 3 so that the protective material 5 may be located in the front side of the cabinet 2. Insert.

  In this state, the cushioning material 4 is placed on each corner of the upper end of the cabinet 2 in the left-right width direction, and the upper packaging material 3 is set on the cushioning material 4 in the opposite direction to the lower packaging material 3. Cover. At this time, the upper end portion of the protective material 5 is positioned inside the upper packaging material 3, whereby the upper and lower packaging materials 3 are disposed on the outer surface side of the cabinet 2 via the cushioning material 4, A protective material 5 is inserted between the upper and lower packing materials 3. In this state, the both ends of the binding material 6 are pulled, and the other end of the binding material 6 is inserted into the locking tool 15 fixed to one end of the binding material 6 and is pulled and locked. The binding material 6 is fastened (bundled) with a predetermined tension. By the fastening of the pair of binding materials 6, the packing operation of the cabinet 2 by the packing device 1 is completed.

  In the packing state of the cabinet 2 by the packing device 1, the corners 4 a of the internal cushioning material 4 are exposed to the outside from the openings 13 provided at the corners of the upper and lower packing materials 3, and A sliding member 14 is attached to the outer surface of the bottom wall portion 3a, and a label 16 with a set number or the like is attached to the upper and lower packing materials 3, the cushioning material 4, and the protective material 5. Also, a product number label 17 is affixed to the back of the cabinet 2 and a destination label 18 is affixed to the upper packing material 3 so that the bar code and the like of each label of each member of the packing device 1 is predetermined. In a controlled state, it is shipped from the manufacturing factory of the cabinet 2 to a construction site where a kitchen such as a newly built house is installed through a distribution base such as a warehouse.

  In the distribution route from the manufacturing factory of the package to the construction site, the sliding member 14 can smoothly hold the package, and the package material 3 can be prevented from being damaged by a thread, or the corner of the package material 3 can be prevented. The cushioning material 4 exposed to the surface prevents damage to the wall surface of the house when it is carried into the newly built house. In addition, when the package is held horizontally or vertically, the handle 11 provided on each packing material 3 can be used, and at this time, the handle 11 having a double wall structure has a predetermined strength. Therefore, stable work can be performed.

  And the packing material carried in to the construction site loosens the binding material 6 and removes it, so that the upper and lower packing materials 3, the cushioning material 4 and the protective material 5 are separated, and these members are returned as a set, for example. Will be. At this time, the boat-shaped upper and lower packing materials 3 are first transferred from the boat shape to the outer peripheral wall portions 3b and 3c by the surface fasteners 9a in the reverse order to the procedure shown in FIGS. 6 (a) to 6 (c). , 9b is removed to obtain a flat developed shape. Then, as shown in FIG. 7 (a), the flat protective material 5 and the four cushioning materials 4 are placed on the lower packing material 3 in the developed shape, and the cushioning material 4 is placed on the cushioning material 4. The upper packing material 3 is placed to be in a stacked state.

  In this laminated state, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), the packaging device 1 is returned to the factory or the like by being lightly bound with the binding material 6 fixed to the lower packaging material 3 and returned to the factory or the like. . At this time, the packing device 1 bound by the binding material 6 has the packing material 3 and the protective material 5 in a flat plate shape, so that the stacking height can be significantly reduced by the stacking to prevent bulkiness and packaging. Since the binding material 6 lightly fixed to the lower packing material 3 can be used as it is for the binding of the apparatus 1, the binding material 6 is not lost, and the binding work and return work to the factory (transportation work) Etc. can be performed smoothly. In addition, the return form of the packing apparatus 1 is not limited to the illustrated example, and each packing apparatus 1 may be bundled together by the binding material 6 of the predetermined packing material 3, or a kitchen counter (not shown) that is carried in at the same time You may make it bind together with the packing material etc. for use.

  The packaging device 1 returned to the factory can be reused by reassembling the upper and lower packaging materials 3, and the protective material 5 and the cushioning material 4 can be reused in a substantially intact state. . That is, almost all the members of the packing device 1 used for packing can be reused as they are without any processing, that is, the packing device 1 is used in a returnable manner. In the above example, a returnable cloth band preset to a predetermined length is used as the binding material 6. However, for example, a PP band is used as the binding material 6, and this PP band is used as a separate lock. If the PP band is cut and shipped after being locked with a tool, it is impossible to reuse the PP band as it is, but the PP band is recovered and recycled (recycled). Can be used.

  Thus, in the packing device 1 of the above embodiment, the upper and lower packing materials 3 covered on the upper and lower surfaces of the cabinet 2 are formed so as to be able to be unfolded and assembled, and have a boat shape and a return shape as a packing shape. Since the shape can be changed to a deployed shape, it can be changed to a deployed shape suitable for return after being brought into the field in the form of a boat, especially by setting the flat shape (deployed shape) to the return shape. The material 3 can be easily collected in the field, and the bulkiness or the like can be prevented during transportation to the manufacturing plant, thereby improving transportation efficiency and the like.

  Further, since the outer peripheral wall portions 3b and 3c of the packing material 3 can be bent along the folding lines 8a to 8c, the outer peripheral wall portions 3b and 3c are easily bent by the folding hooks of the folding lines 8a to 8c. It is possible to quickly change the shape from the boat shape to the deployed shape or from the deployed shape to the boat shape. Moreover, since the edge part of each outer peripheral wall part 3b, 3c can be attached / detached and latched by the planar fasteners 9a, 9b as the latching means 9, it becomes possible to attach / detach each outer peripheral wall part 3b, 3c one-touch. A reliable locking state can be obtained with the configuration, and as a result, the packaging material 3 can be easily assembled and deployed.

  Furthermore, since the binding material 6 is fixed to the outer surface of the bottom wall portion 3a of the lower packing material 3 so as not to be removed in advance, the binding material 6 is not lost when the packing material 3 is packed or returned, The binding material 6 can be easily set to a set state by setting each tip of the binding material 6 fixed at the time of the packing operation at a predetermined position, or the binding material 6 can be used when returning at the construction site. Packing work and return work can be done easily. Thus, the packing material 3 constituting the packing device 1 can be efficiently packed (assembled) and returned (deployed) efficiently, and each of the packing material 3, the cushioning material 4, the protective material 5, etc. The member can be reused in a substantially intact state, and the packaging device 1 having excellent returnability can be obtained.

  In addition, since the packing shape of the packing material 3 is set to a substantially boat shape, the upper and lower packing materials 3 can surely cover the upper surface and the lower surface of the cabinet 2, and the open surface 7 between the pair of packing materials 3 is provided. Since the protective material 5 is inserted, the front surface of the cabinet 2 that is important in terms of design can be reliably protected by the protective material 5, and a good packaging state of the cabinet 2 can be easily obtained. .

  Further, when the packing material 3 is set in a boat shape, adjacent outer peripheral wall portions 3b and 3c become double walls, and a handle 11 including a pair of openings 11a communicating with the inside and the outside is provided in the double wall portion. Therefore, the handle 11 portion becomes two outer peripheral wall portions, the strength of the handle 11 can be increased, and even the heavy cabinet 2 can be applied satisfactorily. In particular, since the opening 11a of the outer peripheral wall 3b outside the handle 11 is reinforced by the handle cover 11a, the strength of the handle 11 can be further increased, and safety during transportation work can be secured at the same time. It becomes possible.

  Further, since the sliding member 14 is detachably provided on the outer surface of the bottom wall portion 3a of the packing material 3, the packing material can be easily moved by attaching the sliding member 14, particularly when the packing material is held sideways. Can be easily performed, and the rigidity of the bottom wall 3a of the packing material 3 can be increased by the long sliding members 14 provided at both ends in the left-right width direction. For example, the bottom wall 3a It is possible to prevent damage to the packing material 3 due to threading. As a result, the number of times that the packaging material 3 can be reused can be increased, and the returnable packaging device 1 that can be used stably over a long period of time can be easily obtained.

  Moreover, since the opening 13 through which the cushioning material 4 is exposed to the outside is provided at the corner of the packing material 3, for example, the housing when the package is carried in due to the buffering action of the corner 4 a of the cushioning material 4 exposed from the opening 13. It is possible to reliably prevent damage to the wall surface, and to easily carry in the package, and in particular, by using the circular hole 13a as the opening 13, the opening when the outer peripheral wall portions 3b and 3c are bent. The tear from 13 part can be prevented and the frequency | count that the packaging material 3 can be reused can be increased further.

  Further, since each member of the packaging device 1 is provided with an identification means such as a label 16 having a barcode 16b, the label 16 can easily manage the packaging material 3, the protective material 5, the cushioning material 4, and the like. In particular, by assigning a set number or the like of the packaging device 1 for one set to the label 16, each member for one set of the packaging device 1 can be easily managed. Further, since the label 16 can be overlaid, it is not necessary to peel off the label 16 used last time when the packaging material 3 or the like is reused. The work can be performed more efficiently. Further, by using an information tag or the like as the identification means, it is possible to manage more various information in association with each other, and it is possible to further improve the efficiency of a series of operations from packing to return.

  By the way, in the said embodiment, although the four shock absorbing materials 4 inserted between each packing material 3 and the cabinet 2 were formed separately from each packing material 3, as shown, for example in FIG. The cushioning material 4 can be integrated with each packing material 3 in advance. That is, in the developed shape of each packing material 3, one outer surface of the cushioning material 4 having an L-shaped cross section is fixed to and integrated with the bending line 8b at both ends in the left-right width direction with an adhesive or the like. At this time, as shown in FIG. 9, the cushioning material 4 is fixed to the inner surface of the bottom wall portion 3 a of the packing material 3 such that the corner portion 4 a is positioned at the approximate center 25 of the circular hole 13 a of the opening 13.

  The packing material 3 is assembled into a boat shape and used for packing the cabinet 2 by folding and locking the outer peripheral wall portions 3b and 3c of the packing material 3 in which the cushioning material 4 is integrated. In the case of this embodiment, when the packing material 3 is set in the unfolded shape, the vertical portion of the cushioning material 4 protrudes upward. Therefore, it is preferable to set the height of the vertical portion as low as possible. In addition, the shape of the cushioning material 4 integrated with the packing material 3 is not limited to the shape of the packing material 3 over substantially the entire corner portion in the front-rear width direction. For example, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. A total of four shapes may be provided only in the opening 13 portion, or the cushioning material 4 may be configured to be foldable corresponding to the outer peripheral wall portions 3b and 3c.

  Also in the packaging device 1 of this embodiment, the packaging material 3 with the cushioning material 4 can be set in a boat shape or a developed shape, and the cushioning material 4 is preliminarily provided in addition to the effects similar to those of the above embodiment. Since it is integrated with the packing material 3, the positioning work between the cushioning material 4 and the packing material 3 is not required, and the packing work and the return work can be easily performed. The effect that each member can be managed more easily is obtained.

  In addition, in the said embodiment, although the example which inserts the protective material 5 in the open surface 7 of the upper and lower packing materials 3 was demonstrated, this invention is not limited to this, For example, the outer peripheral wall of the upper and lower packing materials 3 When the height of the portion 3b is increased and the upper and lower surfaces of the cabinet 2 are covered, the shape of the outer peripheral wall portion 3b covers at least the front surface and the side surface of the cabinet 2, that is, the predetermined outer peripheral wall portion 3b of the packing material 3; It can also be set as the structure which gives the function of the protective material 5 to 3c. Further, the insertion position of the cushioning material 4 is not limited to the corners at both ends in the left-right width direction, and can be inserted into the corners at the upper part of the front surface. Thus, the shape of the packing material 3 and the cushioning material 4 The insertion position, the number of the insertion positions, and the like can be appropriately changed according to the shape of the packaged body.

  Further, the shape of the cushioning material 4 is not limited to the above embodiment, and an appropriate shape (structure) can be adopted according to the shape of the packaged body and the like. That is, for example, when the cross-sectional shape of the corner of the packaged body is as shown in FIG. 10, as shown in FIG. 10 (a), the convexity that matches the concave portion (or convex portion) of the outer surface of the packaged body W. Packing is performed using the cushioning material 4 having a portion (or recess), or as shown in FIG. 10B, the inner cushioning material 4A having a convex portion or the like that matches the outer surface shape of the packaged body W; Packing is performed using the cushioning material 4 formed with the L-shaped outer cushioning material 4B covering the outside of the inner cushioning material 4A. At this time, when the cushioning material 4 shown in FIG. 10B is used, the outer cushioning material 4B having a basic L-shape is used by aligning the inner cushioning material 4A with the package body W. The entire shape of the package W can be easily changed to a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and the packaging work can be performed more efficiently. In this case, as the inner cushioning material 4A, the same material as that of the outer cushioning material 4B may be used. For example, an air mat or newspaper may be used.

  Furthermore, in the said embodiment, although the case where the packing material 3 was returned and reused between the manufacturing factory of the cabinet 2 which is a to-be-packaged body, and a construction site was demonstrated, the packing apparatus 1 concerning this invention is shown. Applying to moving work, for example, it is possible to pack various packages with packing material 3 at the moving source, fold this packing material 3 at the moving destination, and return / reuse it to the moving company. For example, the packaging apparatus 1 can be efficiently reused in the moving company, and for example, the moving cost can be reduced.

  The present invention can be applied not only to a cabinet of a system kitchen as a packaged body, but also to a cabinet such as a vanity table or a front storage cabinet, and furniture other than these cabinets such as a chiffon, a cupboard, a desk, etc. It can be applied to various packages that require packing, such as home appliances such as TVs, videos, microwave ovens, rice cookers, refrigerators, air conditioners, and lighting equipment, and information devices such as personal computers, printers, and copy machines.
