Description

  The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus packaged with a sheet so as to prevent overturning during unpacking and a packaging method for the information processing apparatus.

  An information processing apparatus such as a personal computer is accommodated in a box made of cardboard or the like and delivered to a user. At this time, the information processing apparatus is further packaged with a sheet having a predetermined elasticity so as to prevent scratches due to friction with other stored items in the box and to confirm that the package has not been opened during transportation. It is supported by a cushioning material that attenuates the impact applied to the box before it is transmitted to the information processing device.

  Patent Document 1 discloses an electronic device packaging cardboard box that can be stored without damaging the electronic device by supporting the electronic device with a buffer film stretched on a film frame and packing it in a box. It is disclosed.

  In recent years, there has been a demand for a reduction in the volume of an information processing apparatus housing, particularly a reduction in installation area, in order to enable the arrangement of the information processing apparatus in a limited space. When the installation area of the information processing device is reduced, the distance from the center of gravity of the information processing device housing to the installation surface edge from the vertical foot to the installation surface becomes shorter. When a force is applied to rotate one end of the installation surface about the central axis, the force required for the leg of the perpendicular line from the center of gravity to the installation surface to exceed the central axis is reduced, and the information processing apparatus is likely to fall.

  In order to prevent the slim information processing apparatus from overturning, it is known to add auxiliary legs to the casing of the information processing apparatus. Patent Document 2 discloses an electronic device installation base that can be attached to an electronic device housing, has wheels, and is configured to be detachable from a fall prevention leg.

  Because the auxiliary legs for preventing the fall of the slimmed information processing device expand the projected area onto the installation surface of the housing, the information processing device in the attached state has a larger volume than the state in which it is not attached. Become. That is, since a box that can accommodate such an information processing apparatus is required to be relatively large, space efficiency during transportation and storage deteriorates. Therefore, when accommodated in the box, the auxiliary leg of the information processing apparatus is generally removed and is in a state of being easily overturned.

  On the other hand, before the user who purchased the information processing device can use the information processing device, the box is first opened, the information processing device packaged in a sheet is taken out of the box, and then the sheet packaging is opened and the information is opened. The processing device needs to be exposed.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the information processing apparatus 10 is packaged by the bag-shaped sheet 20, the bag 20 is moved upward with the opening portion of the bag 20 down to expose the information processing apparatus 10. There is a case. At this time, the information processing apparatus 10 is in a state in which the auxiliary leg is removed as described above, and it is easy to fall down. Therefore, when the bag 20 is moved upward, if the bag 20 is caught by a protrusion of the information processing apparatus 10 and a lateral force is applied to the information processing apparatus 10, the information processing apparatus 10 may fall down. There is a problem in that the internal electronic components of 10 are adversely affected.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an information processing apparatus packaged with a sheet so as to prevent a fall during an opening operation, and a packaging method for the information processing apparatus capable of preventing a fall during an opening operation. And

The information processing apparatus which is packaged in sheets over bets present invention has the shape of a straight rectangular parallelepiped, most large non plane surfaces of the area A can be disposed as a vertical置下surface, the auxiliary leg mounted vertically置下surface Possible, when the surface with the largest area is turned down, the sheet is packaged in a sheet from each side to the upper surface, and the sheet is fixed by the fixing member described in the method for opening the sheet and attaching the auxiliary leg. It is characterized by being.

Packaging method of an information processing apparatus of the present invention, the step of wrapping and placing such large surface nearest area of the information processing apparatus in which the straight rectangular parallelepiped allow sheet folding is on top, the periphery of the information processing apparatus in a sheet And a step of fixing the sheet by adhering a fixing member describing a method of opening the information processing apparatus and a method of attaching the auxiliary leg to the information processing apparatus to the sheet on the upper surface of the information processing apparatus. Features.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the information processing apparatus packaged with the sheet | seat so that the fall at the time of opening work can be prevented, and the packaging method of the information processing apparatus which can prevent the fall at the time of opening work can be provided.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 to 3 show the process until the information processing apparatus accommodated in the outer box is opened. FIG. 4 shows a state where auxiliary legs are attached to the information processing apparatus. FIG. 5 shows a state in which an information processing apparatus to which auxiliary legs are attached is installed.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an outer box that accommodates the information processing apparatus. From this state, the upper surface of the outer box 1 is opened, the information processing device protected by the buffer material is taken out, and the buffer material is removed. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the information processing apparatus packaged with the sheet 2 when taken out from the outer box 1. The fixing member 3 of the sheet 2 is attached to the upper surface when the maximum surface of the information processing device having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape is installed in a detachable or breakable state. The fixing member 3 describes a sheet opening method and a stabilizer mounting method.

  Since the information processing apparatus packaged with the sheet 2 is packaged in the outer box 1 shown in FIG. 1 in the state shown in FIG. 2, when the upper surface of the outer box 1 is opened, the sheet 2 for packaging the information processing apparatus is fixed. The fixing member 3 to be exposed is exposed, and the sheet unsealing method and the stabilizer attaching method described in the fixing member 3 can be read.

  By describing the sheet opening method and the stabilizer attachment method on the fixing member 3 attached to the upper surface, the user who opens the sheet can know the future opening operation procedure without referring to the document. Here, as the sheet opening method, for example, the information processing device packaged with the sheet 2 is taken out from the outer box 1 without opening the sheet 2, and the surface on which the fixing member 3 is pasted is stable.
