  FIG. 3 is a development view of the cardboard box shown in FIG.

  The cardboard box 100 of the present embodiment is composed of two parts, a first cardboard part 150 and a second cardboard part 160 shown in FIG.

  The first corrugated board component 150 has an upper wall 111, one side wall 113, two upper lids 114, one left door 116, and one right door 117. The two upper lids 114 of the first cardboard component 150 serve to block the upper portions of the two openings 110a of the box body 110, respectively. The left door 116 of the first cardboard component 150 serves to block the left part of one opening 110a, and the right door 117 serves to block the right part of the other opening 110a. The first corrugated board component 150 has a total of four upper lid bent portions 114b, two for each of the two upper lids 114. Further, each upper lid bent portion 114b is provided with one end bent portion 114b_1.

  Further, a joining portion 150 a for joining the first corrugated board component 150 to the second corrugated board component 160 is provided at the edge of the side wall 113 of the first corrugated board component 150 opposite to the upper wall 111. It has been.

  The second cardboard component 160 has a bottom wall 112, one side wall 113, two lower lids 115, one left door 116, and one right door 117. The two lower lids 115 of the second cardboard part 160 serve to block the lower portions of the two openings 110 a of the box body 110. The left door 116 of the second cardboard part 160 serves to block the left part of one opening 110a, and the right door 117 serves to block the right part of the other opening 110a. The second corrugated board component 160 has a total of four lower lid bent portions 115b, two for each of the two lower lids 115. Further, each lower lid bent portion 115b is provided with one end bent portion 115b_1.

  Further, a joint 160 a for joining the second cardboard part 160 to the first cardboard part 150 is provided at the edge of the side wall 113 of the second cardboard part 160 opposite to the bottom wall 112. It has been.

  The joint 150 a of the first corrugated cardboard component 150 is joined to the edge of the bottom wall 112 of the second corrugated cardboard component 160 opposite to the side wall 113. Further, the joint 160 a of the second cardboard component 160 is joined to the edge of the upper wall 111 of the first cardboard component 150 on the side opposite to the side wall 113. And it is bent at the boundary between the upper wall 111, the bottom wall 112, and the respective side walls 113 to form a rectangular cylindrical box body 110 (see FIG. 2).

  Note that the cardboard box is not limited to a configuration in which two parts are joined and bent. For example, the cardboard box may be configured by bending a single cardboard paper, or may be configured by bending a combination of three or more cardboard parts. .

  As described above, the box body 110 has the two openings 110a, and the stored items T sandwiched between the upper and lower cushioning materials 200 (see FIG. 1) shown in FIG.

  FIG. 4 is a view showing a state in which the cushioning material is housed in the cardboard box shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 4, illustration of the stored item T and the upper cushioning material 200 is omitted, and the lower cushioning material 200 is illustrated.

  Each of the upper and lower cushioning materials 200 has an octagonal shape in which four square corners are dropped according to the inner surface shape of the cardboard box 100 when viewed from above. When the stored item T is stored in the cardboard box 100, the outer surface of the lower cushioning material 200 is in contact with the inner surface of the cardboard box 100 with a low-friction polyethylene sheet 302 described later interposed therebetween. On the other hand, the outer surface of the upper cushioning material 200 is in direct contact with the inner surface of the cardboard box 100.

  When the storage item T is stored together with the cushioning material 200 and the lower lid 115 is closed, the lower lid 115 comes into contact with the side surface of the lower cushioning material 200 with the low friction polyethylene sheet 302 interposed therebetween. Further, when the lower lid 115 is bent to form the lower lid bent portion 115b, the lower lid bent portion 115b is formed on the chamfered portion of the cushioning material 200 formed by dropping the corners, and the low friction polyethylene sheet 302 is formed. Abut between them.

  Although not shown in FIG. 4, when the upper lid 114 is closed at each opening 110a, the upper lid 114 directly contacts the side surface of the upper cushioning material 200 (see FIG. 1). Further, when the upper lid 114 is bent to form the upper lid bent portion 114b, the upper lid bent portion 114b comes into direct contact with the chamfered portion of the upper cushioning material 200 formed by dropping the corner.

  The left door 116 and the right door 117 include a lower lid 115 and an upper lid 114 that are bent so as to close each opening 110a, and an upper lid bent portion 114b and a lower lid that are formed so as to contact the cushioning material 200. It is bent in two stages along the bent portion 115b.

  When bent and closed in this way, the left door 116 and the right door 117 come into contact with the edges facing each other. And the joint of the left door 116 and the right door 117 is bonded together with the adhesive tape 301, as shown in FIG.

  In the present embodiment, the form in which the edges of the closed left door 116 and right door 117 are in contact with each other is illustrated. However, the storage box may have a form in which the edges of the closed left door and the right door are separated from each other.

  When the stored item T is taken out from the storage box 1, the left door 116, the right door 117, the upper lid 114, and the lower lid 115 that block one opening 110a are opened, and the opened opening 110a is opened. The stored item T is pulled out to the side together with the cushioning material 200.

  In this way, the storage box 1 of the present embodiment in which the stored item T is taken in and out from the opening 110a opened to the side, for example, can store and remove the stored item compared to a storage box or the like in which the stored item is taken in or out from the opening opened upward. Easy.

  Here, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the stored item T includes a low-density polyethylene sheet 302 between the lower cushioning material 200 where the weight of the stored item T is applied and the inner surface of the box body 100. Is stored in a state of being sandwiched.

  The frictional force generated between the low-density polyethylene sheet 302 and the inner surface of the box body 100 when the stored item T is pulled out is the friction when the lower cushioning material 200 is placed directly on the bottom wall 112. Less than force. For this reason, compared with the case where the lower cushioning material 200 is in direct contact with the inner surface of the box body 100, the stored item T is smoothly put in and out from the opening 110a. This low density polyethylene sheet 302 corresponds to an example of the low friction member referred to in the present invention.

  The low friction member is low if the frictional force when the stored item T is pulled out is smaller than the frictional force when the support member such as the cushioning material is placed directly on the bottom wall of the box body. A resin sheet other than density polyethylene, a paper sheet, or the like may be used.

  Here, a plurality of storage boxes 1 (see FIG. 1) in which the stored items T are stored may be stacked in the vertical direction. When stacked in this way, the lower storage box 1 is subjected to a compressive load that tends to crush the storage box 1 in the vertical direction.

  In the storage box 1, the opening 110 a (see FIG. 2) serving as a storage port for the stored item T is opened to the side in order to facilitate the access as described above. Thus, the opening 110a opened to the side tends to weaken the yield strength of the storage box 1 with respect to the compression load.

  As described above, the storage box 1 has an octagonal prism shape in which the shape when viewed from above is an octagon. A polygonal column such as an octagonal column having a larger number of corners than a quadrangular column has higher strength against compressive load than a quadrangular column. Since the storage box 1 of the present embodiment has an octagonal prism shape, the strength against a compressive load is enhanced as compared with a storage box having a simple quadrangular prism shape and an opening that opens sideways.

  Further, in the storage box 1 of the present embodiment, the upper lid 114 and the lower lid 115 when the openings 110a are closed play a part of the role of supporting this compressive load.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an upper lid and a lower lid that block the opening.

  The upper lid 114 is bent downward from the upper wall 111, and the lower lid 115 is bent upward from the bottom wall 112. The upper edge of the lower lid 115 and the lower edge of the upper lid 114 are in contact with each other. By abutting the upper edge of the lower lid 115 and the lower edge of the upper lid 114, the upper lid 114 and the lower lid 115 cooperate with each other to support a compressive load applied from the upper wall 111.

  Here, if the upper lid 114 or the lower lid 115 falls to either the inside or outside of the box body 110 when a compressive load is applied, the upper edge of the lower lid 115 and the lower edge of the upper lid 114 abut against each other. May not be maintained and the compression load may not be supported in the opening 110a.

  In the present embodiment, the upper lid 114 and the lower lid 115 are prevented from falling by the following configuration. That is, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the upper and lower cushioning materials 200 are in contact with the inner surfaces of the upper lid 114 and the lower lid 115. In addition, as described above, the left door 116 and the right door 117 are folded by closing the opening 110a after the upper lid 114 and the lower lid 115 are folded, and then closed by covering the upper lid 114 and the lower lid 115. . The closed left door 116 and right door 117 press the upper lid 114 and the lower lid 115 from the outside.

  As described above, the upper lid 114 and the lower lid 115 are clamped from the inside and outside of the box body 110 by the cushioning material 200 and the closed left door 116 and right door 117, and the upper lid 114 and the lower lid 115 are inside and outside the box body 110. It is supported not to fall down in any direction. As a result, the abutment between the upper edge of the lower lid 115 and the lower edge of the upper lid 114 is maintained, and as a result, the strength of the storage box 1 against the compressive load is maintained.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the upper lid 114 is bent toward the inside of the box body 110 to form the upper lid bent portion 114b, and the lower lid 115 is bent toward the inside of the box body 110 to lower the lower lid bent portion. 115b is formed.

  FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of the upper lid bent portion and the lower lid bent portion.

  As described above, the upper lid bent portion 114b enters the inside of the box body 110 so as to sink under the portion of the upper wall 111 where the corner is dropped. An end bent portion 114b_1 formed by bending an end portion on the upper wall 111 side of the upper lid bent portion 114b is in contact with the inner surface of the upper wall 111.

  The lower lid bent portion 115b enters the inside of the box body 110 so as to ride on a portion of the bottom wall 112 where the corner is dropped. An end bent portion 115b_1 formed by bending an end portion of the lower lid bent portion 115b on the bottom wall 112 side is in contact with the inner surface of the bottom wall 112.

  In FIG. 6, an upper lid bent portion 114 b that has entered under the upper wall 111 is shown. The relationship between the lower lid bent portion 115b and the bottom wall 112 is the same as the relationship between the upper lid bent portion 114b and the upper wall 111 when upside down.

  Here, the lower edge of the upper lid bent portion 114b and the upper edge of the lower lid bent portion 115b are in contact with each other as shown in FIG.

  Then, the upper lid bent portion 114b that has entered under the upper wall 111 in a state where the end bent portion 114b_1 is in contact with the inner surface of the upper wall 111 supports the upper lid 114 so as not to fall into the inside of the box body 110. To work. Further, the lower lid bent portion 115b that rides on the bottom wall 112 with the end bent portion 115b_1 in contact with the inner surface of the bottom wall 112 supports the lower lid 115 so as not to fall into the inside of the box body 110. To work. The support by the upper lid bent portion 114b and the lower lid bent portion 115b also maintains the abutment between the upper edge of the lower lid 115 and the lower edge of the upper lid 114, and further maintains the strength of the storage box 1 against the compressive load. It contributes to.

  Unlike the present embodiment, the upper lid bent portion and the lower lid bent portion do not have an end bent portion, and the edges directly contact the inner surfaces of the upper wall 111 and the bottom wall 112. There may be.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the upper lid bent portion 114b formed by bending the upper lid 111 and the lower lid bent portion 115b formed by bending the lower lid 112 are bent toward the inside of the box body 110. The bending angles are different from each other.

  FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating a state in which the bending angle when the upper lid bent portion and the lower lid bent portion are bent toward the inner side of the box body is different from each other.

  Since the bending angles are different from each other, the lower edge of the upper lid bent portion 114b and the upper edge of the lower lid bent portion 115b are in contact with each other as shown in FIG.

  Even if the position of the lower edge of the portion other than the upper lid bent portion 114b of the upper lid 114 and the position of the portion other than the lower lid bent portion 115b of the lower lid 115 are slightly shifted, The edge and the upper edge of the lower lid bent portion 115b reliably abut against each other at the intersection. As a result, the compressive load is supported at the intersecting portions that abut each other.

  In the present embodiment, even if the above-described positional deviation occurs between the upper lid 114 and the lower lid 115, the strength of the storage box 1 against the compressive load is maintained by the support by the intersecting portion.

  Further, in this embodiment, the difference in bending angle between the upper lid bent portion 114b and the lower lid bent portion 115b is determined by the upper cushioning material 200 and the lower lid bent portion 115b with which the upper lid bent portion 114b abuts. This corresponds to the difference in shape with the lower cushioning material 200 in contact therewith. That is, the chamfering angles at the chamfered portions where the bent portions abut are different between the upper cushioning material 200 and the lower cushioning material 200. The bending angle of the lower lid folding part 115b is defined by the chamfering angle of the lower cushioning material 200, and the folding angle of the upper lid folding part 114b is defined by the chamfering angle of the upper cushioning material 200. Thereby, the difference in bending angle between the upper lid bent portion 114b and the lower lid bent portion 115b is realized.

  Here, unlike the present embodiment, the above-described misalignment occurs between the upper lid 114 and the lower lid 115 due to the following folding structure instead of the upper lid bent portion 114b and the lower lid bent portion 115b. It may be possible to support the compressive load at the time.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating another example of a folding structure that supports a compressive load when a positional shift occurs between the upper lid and the lower lid.

  In this other example, an upper lid bent portion 114b 'that is bent in a section shape along a first fold line 114b'_1 toward the inside of the box body 110 is provided at the lower edge of the upper lid 114.

  Then, a lower lid fold is formed at the upper edge of the lower lid 115 and is bent in a section shape along a second fold line 115b′_1 shifted in position from the first fold line 114b′_1 in the direction in which the edge extends. A curved portion 115b 'is provided.

  Also in this example, the lower edge of the upper lid bent portion 114b ′ formed by bending the upper lid 114 and the upper edge of the lower lid bent portion 115b ′ formed by bending the lower lid 115 are as shown in FIG. Cross each other.

  Even when the position of the lower edge of the portion other than the upper lid bent portion 114b ′ of the upper lid 114 and the position of the upper edge of the portion other than the lower lid bent portion 115b ′ of the lower lid 115 are shifted from each other, The compressive load is supported by the intersection of the portion 114b ′ and the lower lid bent portion 115b ′.

  Above, the description about another example of a bending structure is complete | finished, and it returns to description about this embodiment.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the left door 116 and the right door 117 are folded in a direction to cover the upper lid 114 and the lower lid 115 after the upper lid 114 and the lower lid 115 are folded and the opening 110a is closed. Closed. Thus, the storage box 1 has a structure in which each opening 110a is closed by a double wall, and this double structure strengthens the resistance to compressive load in the opening 110a.

  Further, the left door 116 and the right door 117 which are closed by covering the upper lid 114 and the lower lid 115 also cover the upper lid bent portion 114b and the lower lid bent portion 115b. As described above, in the storage box 1, the walls have a double structure even in the four chamfered portions where the corners in the octagonal prism shape are dropped, and the strength against compressive load is enhanced.

  Here, as described above, the notches 116a and 117a that expose the upper lid 114 and the lower lid 115 are provided at the upper and lower corner portions on the edge sides of the left door 116 and the right door 117 that face each other when closed. Is provided. And the adhesive tape 301 (refer FIG. 1) which sticks the seam of the left door 116 and the right door 117 when closed is affixed on this seam across this notch 116a, 117a.

  FIG. 9 is an enlarged view showing a periphery of a notch provided in a lower corner portion facing each other of the left door and the right door bonded with an adhesive tape. FIG. 10 is an enlarged view showing a periphery of a notch provided in an upper corner portion facing each other of the left door and the right door bonded with an adhesive tape.

  When taking out the stored item T from the storage box 1, the operator cuts the adhesive tape 301 that fixes the left door 116 and the right door 117 so as to open the left door 116 and the right door 117.

  Here, when the notches 116a and 117a are not provided in the left door 116 and the right door 117, the worker can define the boundary between the left door 116 or the right door 117 and the upper wall 111, the left door 116 or the right door. It is necessary to cut the adhesive tape 301 at the boundary between the door 117 and the bottom wall 112. At this time, in order to cut the adhesive tape 301 at the boundary between the left door 116 or the right door 117 and the bottom wall 112, the operator is likely to have to lift the storage box 1 so that the bottom wall 112 can be seen.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the left door 116 and the right door 117 are provided with the notches 116a and 117a, and the adhesive tape 301 crosses the notches 116a and 117a and is over the seam. Affixed to For this reason, the operator can release the left door 116 and the right door 117 from the top wall 111 and the bottom wall 112 by cutting the adhesive tape 301 at a location crossing the notches 116a and 117a. In particular, the work of freeing the left door 116 and the right door 117 from the bottom wall 112 is performed without lifting the storage box 1, and the workability is improved.

  Further, the lower notch 117a is also used as a clue when the operator carries the storage box 1.

  Further, the upper notch 116 a is also used as a clue when the operator opens the left door 116 or the right door 117 after cutting the adhesive tape 301.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as described with reference to FIG. 2, an opening portion 111 a is provided in the center of the upper wall 111 that opens a square hole by breaking the perforation when a force is applied. Further, the upper lid 114 is provided with a bent portion 114a that is broken from the upper lid 114 when the force is applied.

  Of the doors that are opened to take out the stored items T from the storage box 1, the upper lid 114 tends to return and close the top of the opening 110 a again when the operator releases the hand after opening.

  The opened portion 111a of the upper wall 111 and the bent portion 114a of the upper lid 114 hold the upper lid 114 in this open posture so that the upper lid 114 that is folded back until it overlaps the upper wall 111 does not return. Acts as a holding piece.

  In addition, in this embodiment, the form which provided the bending part 114a in the upper cover 114 about each of the two opening 110a as a storage box is illustrated. However, it may be displayed on the storage box 1 so as to open one specific opening 110a when the stored item T is taken out, and the bent portion 114a may be provided on the upper lid 114 only for the one opening 110a.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating the upper lid held in the open posture. FIG. 12 is an enlarged view of the bent portion and the portion to be opened that hold the upper lid in the open posture.

  When each door is opened, the operator opens the opened portion 111a of the upper wall 111 to make a hole, and bends the bent portion 114a of the upper lid 114. Then, when the operator opens the upper lid 114 to the open position, the worker inserts the bent portion 114 a into the hole opened in the upper wall 111. As a result, even if the upper lid 114 is returned to the original position, the bent portion 114a is caught by the edge of the hole opened in the upper wall 111, and the movement to return to the original position is prevented. Thereby, when the stored item T is taken out from the storage box 1, a situation that is very troublesome for the operator such that the upper lid 114 that has been opened once returns to close the upper portion of the opening 110a is avoided.

  In the present embodiment, the octagonal prism-shaped storage box 1 is illustrated in which four square corners are dropped into an octagon when viewed from above. However, the shape of the storage box is not limited to the octagonal prism shape. The shape of the storage box may be a square pole. In this case, for example, the pair of left and right upper lid bent portions 114b provided as in the present embodiment sinks under the corners of the square upper wall, and the pair of left and right lower lid bent portions 115b has corners of the square bottom wall. You will get on top. Further, the shape of the storage box may be a polygonal column that is a polygon less than an octagon in which one or more of four corners of a quadrangle are dropped when viewed from above. In this case, any one of the pair of left and right upper lid bent portions 114b may go under the corner of the upper wall, and any one of the pair of left and right lower lid bent portions 115b may ride on the corner of the bottom wall. good. Further, the shape of the storage box may be a polygonal column that is a polygon exceeding an octagon when viewed from above.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the form which the upper cover 114 has the upper cover bending part 118 and the lower cover 115 has the lower cover bending part 119 is illustrated as a storage box. However, the storage box may have a form in which the upper lid 114 does not have the upper lid bent portion 118 and the lower lid 115 does not have the lower lid bent portion 119. In this case, the fall of the upper lid 114 and the lower lid 115 to the inside is prevented only by the support member such as the cushioning material 200 that contacts the inner surface of each lid, the left door 116 that contacts the outer surface, and the right door 117.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the form by which notch 116a, 117a is provided in the left door 116 and the right door 117 as a storage box is illustrated. However, the storage box is not limited to this form, and may be a form in which the above-described notch is not provided in the left door and the right door.
