Description

  The present invention relates to a transport box for commodities such as supplements, cosmetics, processed foods, and more particularly to a transport box suitable for the courier service of these products.

  As for sales of supplements, cosmetics, processed foods, etc., so-called mail order and online sales have recently been actively used. Conventionally, boxes using corrugated cardboard (so-called cardboard boxes) have been mainly used for transporting products for mail order. The cardboard box can be folded, folded flat when stored, assembled into a solid shape when used, shaped into a fixed shape, packaged in a box, covered with lid, fastened with adhesive tape, and a delivery slip affixed It is entrusted to the courier.

  By the way, if an adhesive tape is used, there is no particular problem with the product seller's packaging work, but when unpacking, the tape must be peeled off with a strong force or the tape must be cut using a cutter, The work may not always be easy due to the circumstances of the consumer who is the product purchaser. Further, when the discarded cardboard box is collected and separated for reuse as a resource, or when it is decomposed into water and pulped, the adhesive tape must be removed.

  Conversely, when reusing a used cardboard box as it is, the problem is that if the adhesive tape is removed, the cardboard box will be damaged, and when the adhesive tape is removed for opening, the front liner is peeled off along with the adhesive tape. There is an example in which a corrugated cardboard box that is not damaged by a sealing adhesive tape that can be prevented is proposed (see Patent Document 1).

  An attempt to prevent the opening of the lid of the cardboard box and maintain the closed state of the lid without using an adhesive tape is described in Patent Literature 2, and further, Patent Literature 3 describes the lid of Patent Literature 2. When the structure is applied to the bottom plate, it is pointed out that there is an inconvenience that the bottom comes off, and a corrugated cardboard box is proposed that can firmly maintain the closed state of the bottom without using an adhesive tape.

  However, the cardboard box described in Patent Document 3 is only capable of maintaining the closed state of the bottom without using an adhesive tape, and cannot open the cardboard box without using an adhesive tape. is not.

  The adhesive tape is not limited to maintaining the closed state of the cardboard box, but can be said to be a means for locking the cardboard box in that it cannot be opened unless it is peeled off. If the adhesive tape is peeled off, it will leave a trace even if it is closed with a new adhesive tape. However, when adhesive tape is used as a means to lock the cardboard box, there are problems as described above, and it is necessary to use an adhesive tape containing a chemical substance that is different from the cardboard box necessary for packaging the product. Is not desirable.

  The problem to be solved is that when an adhesive tape is used to lock the cardboard box, the unpacking operation and the post-treatment after peeling the adhesive tape when recycling the cardboard box are cumbersome. However, there are problems in using two kinds of different materials.

  In order to solve the above problems, in the product delivery box for home delivery according to the present invention, after covering the cardboard box, the cover plate is locked without using adhesive tape, and when opening the cardboard box, The biggest feature is that the lid plate can be cut open into a separately defined shape.

  According to the product delivery box for courier service according to the present invention, the product is accommodated in the box, the opening of the box is covered with a cover plate, the front edge flap of the box is overlaid thereon, and the front edge flap is provided. The tooth profile protruding perpendicularly from the axis of the key part is folded in half and inserted into the key hole of the cover plate, and the folded tooth profile is raised on the axis using the elasticity of the corrugated paper in the box. The key can be prevented from coming out of the keyhole, and the cover plate can be locked without using the adhesive tape.

  In addition, by providing at least two pairs of keys and keyholes on the front edge flap and the cover plate, the cover plate can be securely locked. Since it only needs to be folded up and inserted into the keyhole, it can be easily operated not only by the courier but also by the client.

  When taking out the product in the box, the box is not separated from the box by opening the cover along the perforation formed between the box lid and the front plate. Can be opened.

  For further safety, if the delivery slip can be pasted between the cover plate covering the top opening of the box and the front edge flap, a part of the perforations on the keyhole and cover plate surface will be Covered by a sheet of paper, no one other than those involved can touch the keyholes and perforations, and therefore the box cannot be opened without permission, thus ensuring security during product delivery more reliably.

  According to the present invention, since the adhesive tape is not used to lock the box, there is no problem that the adhesive tape is left on the cardboard box and must be peeled off after use. . Therefore, a used cardboard box can be disposed without requiring a separation process and a cardboard recycling process can be performed as it is.

It is a perspective view of the goods delivery box for parcel delivery service which shows one Example of this invention. (A) is an expanded view of the goods delivery box for parcel delivery service which shows one Example of this invention, (b) is a figure which shows the point assembled to a box. (A)-(f) is a figure which shows the procedure until it accommodates goods in a box body in the state which opened the cover plate of the assembled product delivery box for parcel delivery, and closes a cover plate. (A)-(d) is a figure explaining the procedure until it inserts and locks a key part in a keyhole in order. (A), (b) is a figure which shows the point which opens the new lid | cover formed by opening a perforation.

  The present invention makes use of the elasticity of corrugated paper, which is the material of the box, for the purpose of disabling the opening after storing the product in the box and locking it, and making the opening easy when taking out the product. Deformation of part, lock the lid that covers the box using the restoring force after deformation, and when opening the lid, separate the lid plate to form a new lid It forms a possible perforation. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a product delivery box for home delivery according to the present invention includes a box 1, a cover plate 2 that is connected to be opened and closed with a top edge of one side of the box 1 as a hinge, and an opening of the box 1. It consists of a front edge flap 3 attached to the front edge and side edge flaps 4, 4 attached to both ends of the opening of the box 1. The box 1 is a bottomed hollow square box having an opening on the upper surface. The side edge flaps 4 and 4 are first folded over the opening of the box body 1, and the front edge flap 3 is folded over the upper side. The cover plate 2 covers a large part of the upper surface opening of the box 1 and is overlapped with a part of the plate surface of the front edge flap 3.

  On the other hand, at the open end of the front edge flap 3, key portions 5, 5 are formed to protrude from the front end of the front edge flap 3 at two positions with a certain interval. Corresponding to the position of the key portion 5 formed at the front end of the front edge flap 3, key holes 6 are opened at two locations. It is sufficient that at least one set of the key 5 and the keyhole 6 is provided, but security is further enhanced by providing at least two sets at a fixed interval.

The key portion 5 is a portion to be inserted into the key hole 6 of the lid plate 2, and the key hole 6 is a slit opened on the plate surface of the lid plate 2. A part of the key part 5 is bent and inserted into the key hole 6, and the part rising from the key hole 6 at an angle on the back side of the lid plate 2 is restored to the current state by the elasticity of the material. It acts as a stop.
The key unit 5 is composed of a shaft 5a and the tooth 5b as illustrated in FIG. 4 (a), the shaft 5a is Zhang out portion in its extending direction with a constant width Tsu Tsurana the front end of the front edge flap 3 The tooth profile 5b is a portion projecting in a bowl shape with a certain length on one side of the shaft 5a.

  The name of the key portion is likened to a classic key such as a skeleton key, for example, with a small flat rectangular tooth (matching shape) at the tip of the shaft. However, in the present invention, the key portion 5 is corrugated paper, and therefore cannot be inserted into the keyhole 5 and rotated like a skeleton key. Therefore, in the present invention, the tooth profile 5b is folded in two on the shaft 5a and inserted into the key hole 6, and rises at an angle to the back side of the cover plate 2 by the elasticity of the corrugated cardboard material. The portion is caught by the opening edge of the keyhole 6 and the escape from the keyhole 6 is prevented.

  FIG. 4A shows the relationship between the key portion 5 and the key hole 6 opened in the plate surface of the lid plate 2 into which the key portion 5 is inserted. In FIG. 4A, when the length of the width of the shaft 5a is L1, and the length of the tooth profile 5b projecting laterally from the shaft 5a is L2, the length L of the slit of the keyhole 6 is the length of the shaft 5a. The width must be longer than the length L1 and less than or equal to the total length of the width L1 of the shaft 5a and the length L2 of the tooth profile 5b (L1 <L <L1 + L2). Although not shown, the slit of the keyhole 6 is opened with a width equal to or greater than the thickness of two corrugated paper sheets so that the tooth profile 5b can be folded and inserted on the shaft 5a. Although it is desirable for work, a part of the corrugated paper is deformed at the time of insertion, and even if the width of the slit is less than the thickness of two corrugated papers, the tooth profile 5b is folded in two on the shaft 5a and the keyhole is folded. It is possible to insert into the 6 slits. For example, when a corrugated cardboard having a thickness of 3 mm is used, a stack of a tooth profile 5b having a thickness of 6 mm and a shaft 5a folded in two can be inserted into a slit having a width of 5 mm.

  On the other hand, a detachable perforation 7 that forms a new lid when the box is opened is formed across the lid plate 2 and the plate surface on the back of the box 1. The perforation 7 includes a push-open portion 7a and an open lid portion 7b. An arc-shaped push-open portion 7a at the upper center of the plate surface on the back of the box 1, and an opening portion 7b extending in an inclined manner from the edge of the lid plate 2 toward both side edges, following both ends of the arc-shaped portion, 7b.

  The arc-shaped push-open portion 7 a of the perforation 7 is a portion formed in an arc shape at the center upper portion of the plate surface of the back plate 11 of the box body 1, and the opening portions 7 b and 7 b are the back plate 11. It is formed following the plate surface of the cover plate 2 from the arc of the push-opening portion 7a connected to the upper edge.

  FIG. 2 is a development view of the product delivery box for home delivery according to the present invention. In FIG. 2A, a back plate 11, a left side plate 12, a front plate 13 and a right side plate 14 that form four peripheral walls of a box by cutting corrugated paper, and a margin 15 attached to the back plate 11 are arranged in a horizontal row. Is formed. In addition, the cover plate 2 is continuously provided at the upper edge of the back plate 11, the front edge flap 3 is attached to the upper end of the front plate 13, and the side edge flap 4 is attached to the upper edges of the left and right side plates 12, 14, respectively. Further, lower surface forming flaps 16a to 16d are attached to the lower edges of the back plate 11, the left side plate 12, the front plate 13, and the right side plate 14, respectively.

  When assembling, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), firstly, a margin 15 is attached to the back plate 11, the left side plate 12, the front plate 13, the right side plate 14 and the back plate 11 which form a four-side wall in a horizontal row. Are bent at right angles in the same direction, the glue margin 15 is attached to the rear edge of the right side plate 14 with an adhesive, and further the bottom face forming flaps 16a to 16d are combined to adhere the main points to close the bottom of the box. Assemble the product delivery box for home delivery shown in 3 (a). Since the method of combining the lower surface forming flaps 16a to 16d and bonding the flaps together to form the box bottom is well known, its description is omitted.

  When using the product delivery box for home delivery according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), the cover plate 2, the front edge flap 3 and the side edge flaps 4, 4 stand up or open to the outside of the box body 1. The product M requested in (1) is accommodated in the box 1, and then, as shown in FIG. 3 is bent horizontally toward the inside of the box, and then the lid 2 is folded to the opening side of the box 1 with the upper edge of the back plate 11 as a hinge as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3 (d), the opening of the box 1 is covered, and the two key portions 5, 5 are directed toward the box 1 with respect to the plate surface of the cover plate 2 with the front edge of the front edge flap 3 as a hinge. Bend it.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 3E, the tooth profile 5b of the key portion 5 is folded in two and overlapped with the shaft 5a, and the front edge flap 3 is folded on the cover plate 2 with the upper edge of the front plate 13 as a hinge, and the tooth profile 5b. Is inserted into the keyhole 6 opened in the plate surface of the front edge flap 3 while being folded on the plate surface of the shaft 5a. The upper surface opening of the box 1 is covered with a cover plate 2 as shown in FIG. 3 (f), and a front edge flap 3 is overlapped on a part of the cover plate 2.

  When the key part 5 is inserted into the back surface side of the cover plate 2 through the key hole 6 with the tooth profile 5b overlapped on the shaft 5a, the tooth profile 5b has a force to return to its original state due to the elasticity of the corrugated paper, and the tooth profile 5b When the shaft 5a rises at an angle with respect to the shaft 5a and the shaft 5a is pulled out of the keyhole 6, the raised tooth profile 5b is caught on the opening edge of the keyhole 5, which prevents the cover plate 2 from being pulled out. The

  FIGS. 4A to 4D show a state in which the cover plate 2 is locked by the key portion 5 inserted into the key hole 6. FIG. 4A shows a state in which the key 5 faces the front of the slit of the keyhole 6. At this time, the tooth profile 5b of the key portion 5 protrudes to the side of the shaft 5a, and the key portion 5 cannot be inserted into the key hole 6 as it is. FIG. 4B shows a state in which the tooth profile 5b is folded in two along a predetermined folding curve h, and the tooth profile 5b is superimposed on the plate surface of the shaft 5a.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 4 (c), the surface of the tooth profile 5 b superimposed on the plate surface of the shaft 5 a is pressed with a finger and directly inserted into the back side of the lid plate 3 through the key hole 6 of the lid plate 2. When the finger is released from the tooth profile 5b, the tooth profile 5b rises at an angle with the folding line h as an axis to return to the original shape by the elastic force of the corrugated paper. FIG. 4D shows a state in which the tooth profile 5a rises in an inclined posture exceeding a rising angle of 90 °, but the rising angle of the tooth profile 5a does not necessarily exceed 90 °, and the width of the slit of the keyhole 6 is increased. If it exceeds, the tooth profile 5b will be caught by the opening edge of the keyhole 6, and the key part 5 cannot be pulled out from the inside of the keyhole 6. FIG. Thus, once the key part 5 is inserted into the key hole 6 with the tooth profile 5b superimposed on the shaft 5a, the cover plate 2 is locked and its opening is prevented.

  In the state in which the box body 1 is covered, the side edge flaps 4 and 4 not only support the lid plate 3 but also the inside of the box body 1 through a gap formed between the box body 1 and the lid plate 3. This is for touching the product or preventing the product from being seen. Therefore, it is desirable that each side edge flap 4 has an overhang length necessary to cover about 1/3 of the opening of the box. Further, the front edge flap 3 is set as short as possible so that the key portion 5 provided at the front edge does not interfere with the product in the box 1 and is as close as possible to the front plate 13 of the box. It is desirable to insert it into the keyhole 6 of the lid plate 2.

  When the merchandise is delivered to the recipient by courier and the recipient opens the box 1, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), an arc-like shape formed by the perforation 7 at the upper center of the plate surface of the back plate 11. When the push-open portion 7a is directed to the front side where force is strongly applied to the finger, while holding the box, the push-open portion 7a is pushed inward with a finger as shown in FIG. 11 and is pulled up as it is, a part of the cover plate is cut open by an open portion 7b formed by an inclined perforation attached to the cover plate 2, and the cut open part becomes a new cover as it is. The opening part 7b is lifted and the upper surface of the box 1 is opened.

  After the product is taken out from the box 1, the box is folded and discarded. However, the lid plate 2 remains connected to the back plate by the locking portion 5, and can be disposed of without being separated. In addition, since no adhesive tape is used to lock the box, work such as sorting is not necessary even when the courier product shipping box according to the present invention is reused as a material.

  In the present invention, the opening of the box 1 is opened and closed by the lid plate 2, but when the lid plate 2 is closed, the upper edge of the back plate 11 becomes the hinge of the lid plate 2, and when opened, the upper edge of the front plate 13 is the hinge. Thus, the open lid portion 7b is opened as a new lid.

  Further, according to the present invention, when the box 1 is closed by the cover plate 2, the key portion 5 is inserted into the key hole 6 of the front edge flap 3, and the tooth profile 5 b prevents the cover plate 2 from opening. If you try to open the cover plate 2 by forcibly pulling the key part 5 out of the keyhole 6 or if you try to open the cover plate 2 by opening the cover plate 2 along the perforation 7, Can be determined at a glance by leaving traces due to damage to the box or excessive force applied to the box.

  The delivery slip S for the home delivery service is preferably pasted across the plate surface of the cover plate 2 and the plate surface of the front edge flap 3. By attaching the delivery slip S across the plate surface of the lid plate 2 and the plate surface of the leading edge flap 3, a part of the perforations 7 on the key hole 6 and the plate surface of the lid plate 2 is the surface of the delivery slip S. The keyhole 5 and the perforation 7 cannot be touched by anyone other than those involved.

  The product delivery box for home delivery according to the present invention can be widely used as a delivery box for various products including supplements, cosmetics and processed foods recently sold by mail order and online sales.
