Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2006-143243 (published on June 8, 2006)

Although the cushioning material disclosed in Patent Document 1 can be used as a stand, it is composed of two cushioning materials having different shapes. Therefore, it is necessary to manufacture each cushioning material in a separate process, which causes a problem that the cost increases. Such a problem becomes more remarkable as the number of cushioning materials increases.

Further, since these two cushioning materials are used, it is necessary to open the outer box at the time of unpacking, remove the cushioning material on the top surface side, and then take out the display. In addition, when the outer box is folded, the cushioning material on the bottom side must be removed from the inside of the outer box. Therefore, if two cushioning materials are used, there is a problem that the handling of the cushioning materials becomes troublesome. Such a problem becomes more remarkable as the number of cushioning materials increases.

Further, the cushioning material that can be used as a stand of the above two cushioning materials is provided with an opening for fitting and holding the display. Therefore, when installing software on the display or adjusting the display, connect the wiring for connecting the display to other devices after fitting the display into the opening on the back side of the display. However, there is a problem that workability is deteriorated because the display must be fitted into the opening after the wiring passed through the opening in advance is connected to the back side of the display.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is a packing cushioning material that is easy to handle and can be assembled as a stand on which a computer device in which wiring is connected can be installed. Is to realize.

In order to solve the above problems, the packing cushioning material of the present invention is a packing cushioning material for packing a computer device having a front portion having a display surface and a main body portion provided behind the front portion. An intermediate between a main body holding surface portion having a holding portion for holding the main body portion on one surface, a front holding surface portion for holding the front surface portion, and the main body holding surface portion and the front surface holding surface portion. A surface portion is provided, and the main body holding surface portion, the front surface holding surface portion, and the intermediate surface portion are formed so as to be continuous and bendable at a boundary portion between adjacent objects. A part of the main body portion is provided so as to open to the edge of the main body holding surface portion.

According to the above configuration, at the time of packing, the main body holding surface portion and the intermediate surface portion are arranged so that the front holding surface portion holds the front surface portion of the computer device while the holding portion of the main body holding surface portion holds the main body portion of the computer device. When the boundary portion of the computer device is bent and the boundary portion between the front holding surface portion and the intermediate surface portion is bent, the front portion and the main body portion to be protected as a computer device are held in a state of being surrounded by the packing cushioning material. Further, since the packing cushioning material has a single structure in which the main body holding surface portion, the front holding surface portion, and the intermediate surface portion are continuous, the computer equipment is compared with the case where a plurality of packing cushioning materials are used as in the conventional case. Not only can the work of packing and unpacking be facilitated, but also the handling when disposing of the packing cushioning material can be facilitated.

Further, the intermediate surface portion is the bottom surface, and the surface provided with the holding portion of the main body holding surface portion (first holding surface) and the surface holding the display surface of the front holding surface portion (second holding surface) are separated from each other. The boundary portion between the main body holding surface portion and the intermediate surface portion is bent, and the boundary portion between the front holding surface portion and the intermediate surface portion is bent. Further, the edge of the main body holding surface portion is brought into contact with the surface of the front holding surface portion opposite to the second holding surface. A computer device is attached to the stand formed in this way by fitting the main body portion into the holding portion of the main body holding surface portion, as in the case of packing. Then, the software is installed on the computer device and the computer device is adjusted while the software is attached to the stand.

Here, the holding portion is provided so as to open a part of the main body portion to the edge of the main body holding surface portion. As a result, wiring for connecting to other devices for installation work and adjustment work can be arranged in the area where a part of the main body is open. Therefore, the computer device can be mounted on the stand with the above wiring connected to the computer device (main body).

In the packing cushioning material, the main body holding surface portion has a first cutout plate cut out so as to be foldable, and the front surface holding surface portion has a second cutout plate cut out so as to be foldable. The holding surface portion has the intermediate surface portion as the bottom surface, and the first holding surface for holding the main body portion on the main body holding surface portion and the second holding surface for holding the front surface portion on the front surface holding surface portion are separated from each other and described as described above. In a state where the edge of the main body holding surface portion is in contact with the surface of the front holding surface portion opposite to the second holding surface, the first cutout plate is bent toward the front holding surface portion, and the second cutout plate is formed. It may have a connection structure to which the first cutout plate is connected in a state of being bent toward the main body holding surface portion.

According to the above configuration, the intermediate surface portion is the bottom surface, the first holding surface of the main body holding surface portion and the second holding surface of the front holding surface portion are separated from each other, and the edge of the main body holding surface portion is the second holding surface portion of the front holding surface portion. The stand is formed in contact with the surface opposite to the holding surface. In the stand, the first cutout plate can be connected to the connection structure of the front holding surface portion in a state where the first cutout plate and the second cutout plate are bent. Therefore, the strength of the stand can be increased.

In the packing cushioning material, the front holding surface portion may have a protruding portion that protrudes so as to abut the front surface portion at a position along the boundary portion with the intermediate surface portion.

According to the above configuration, the protruding portion has a function of protecting the computer device at the time of packing because it comes into contact with the front portion of the computer device. Further, when the packing cushioning material is used as a stand, the protruding portion can support the stand rearward by projecting from the front holding surface portion to the rear side of the stand from the intermediate surface portion which is the bottom surface.

In the packing cushioning material, a part of the first cutout plate has the intermediate surface portion as the bottom surface, and holds the first holding surface for holding the main body portion of the main body holding surface portion and the front surface portion of the front surface holding surface portion. In a state where the second holding surface is separated from the second holding surface, the edge of the main body holding surface portion is in contact with the surface of the front holding surface portion opposite to the second holding surface, and the first cutout plate is bent. , The front holding surface portion may be penetrated, and may protrude toward the second holding surface side from the boundary between the intermediate surface portion and the front holding surface portion.

By such bending, the first spacing plate 45 and the second spacing plate 46 form a wall surface that defines the distance between the main body holding surface portion 2 and the front holding surface portion 4.

Next, as shown in FIG. 5C, the holding plate 25 and the support plate 26 of the main body holding surface portion 2 are bent toward the front holding surface portion 4, and the bent piece 25d of the holding plate 25 is inserted into the hole 47 of the front holding surface portion 4. Fitting, the bent piece 26f of the support plate 26 is fitted into the hole 48 of the front holding surface portion 4. As a result, the main body holding surface portion 2 is held by the front holding surface portion 4 at intervals defined by the first spacing plate 45 and the second spacing plate 46. The support plate 26 penetrates the front holding surface portion 4 so as to project rearward from the second holding portions 43 and 44, and protrudes toward the inner surface side of the front holding surface portion 4 from the boundary between the bottom surface portion 3 and the front holding surface portion 4. There is. As a result, the fifth side 26e of the support plate 26 forms a portion in contact with the surface (desk or the like) on which the stand 10A is installed together with the bottom surface portion 3.

Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the cutout piece 1c of the upper surface portion 1 and the cutout piece 5b of the cover surface portion 5 (not shown) are combined, and the cutout piece 1d of the upper surface portion 1 and the cutout piece 5c of the cover surface portion 5 are combined. In this state, fold it toward the main body holding surface portion 2 or the front holding surface portion 4. Further, the cutouts 5d and 5e of the cover surface portion 5 are locked to the end edge on the long side side of the upper surface portion 1. As a result, the upper surface portion 1 is held by the cover surface portion 5.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, the main body 102 is fitted into the first holdings 21 to 24 of the main body holding surface 2, and the display 100 is mounted on the stand 10A.

The first holding portion 23 and the first holding portion 24 are arranged at intervals. The wiring connected to the display 100 can be arranged between the first holding unit 23 and the first holding unit 24. As a result, the display 100 can be mounted on the stand 10A while the wiring is connected to the display 100.

Subsequently, the structure of the stand 10A assembled as described above will be described. FIG. 7 is another perspective view of the stand 10A. FIG. 8A is a side view of the stand 10A, and FIG. 8B is a side view of the stand 10A opposite to FIG. 8A. FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing a state in which the display 100 is installed on the stand 10A.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, in the stand 10A, the main body holding surface portion 2 which is the front surface faces diagonally upward, the bottom surface portion 3 forms a bottom surface in contact with a desk or the like, and the front surface holding which is the back surface of the stand 10A. The surface portion 4 faces diagonally downward on the back surface, and the upper surface portion 1 and the cover surface portion 5 are in contact with each other on the outer surface side. Further, as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the stand 10A forms a triangle with the main body holding surface portion 2, the bottom surface portion 3, and the front holding surface portion 4 when viewed from the side. ing. In this triangle, the angle formed by the main body holding surface portion 2 and the bottom surface portion 3 is an acute angle, and the angle formed by the bottom surface portion 3 and the front surface holding surface portion 4 is an obtuse angle. As described above, the main body holding surface portion 2 and the front holding surface portion 4 are tilted toward the back surface side, so that the center of gravity of the stand 10A is located closer to the back surface side.

Here, the support plate 26 supports the loads of the main body holding surface portion 2 and the front holding surface portion 4 on the back surface side of the stand 10A. On the other hand, the second holding portions 43 and 44 (protruding portions) are provided on the front holding surface portion 4 so as to project from the flat plate portion 40 at a position along the boundary portion with the bottom surface portion 3, and stand together with the bottom surface portion 3. Contact the installation surface of 10A. Therefore, the second holding portions 43 and 44 play a role of supporting the load of the main body holding surface portion 2 and the front holding surface portion 4 on the back surface side of the stand 10A. However, since the heights of the second holding portions 43 and 44 from the installation surface of the stand 10A are low, the second holding portions 43 and 44 do not have sufficient supporting force to support the load on the upper part of the stand 10A. On the other hand, since the support plate 26 is formed so as to extend diagonally downward from a portion of the main body holding surface portion 2 higher than the second holding portions 43 and 44, it sufficiently supports the load on the upper part of the stand 10A. be able to.

As a result, the stand 10A can stably stand on its own without falling to the back surface side.

Further, the strength of the stand 10A is increased by holding the main body holding surface portion 2 on the front holding surface portion 4 by the holding plate 25 and the support plate 26, and the first spacing plate 45 and the second spacing plate 46.

As shown in FIG. 9, in the stand 10A, the main body holding surface portion 2 faces diagonally upward. As a result, the display 100 can be mounted so as not to come off by simply fitting the main body 102 of the display 100 into the first holding portions 21 to 24 of the main body holding surface portion 2. Further, when the stand 10A is installed on the desk and the installation work is performed, the display surface 101a is easy to see and the touch panel can be easily operated on the display surface 101a. Further, since the wiring is arranged between the first holding portions 23 and 24 of the main body holding surface portion 2 as described above, when the installation work is completed, the display 100 is removed from the stand 10A with the wiring connected. Can be done.

When the angle formed by the bottom surface portion 3 and the front surface holding surface portion 4 is an obtuse angle, the center of gravity of the stand 10A is located closer to the back surface with respect to the bottom surface portion 3. On the other hand, since the angle formed by the bottom surface portion 3 and the front surface holding surface portion 4 is equal to or less than a right angle, the center of gravity of the stand 10A is located more forward with respect to the bottom surface portion 3, so that the stand 10A does not have a support plate 26. But you can be independent. However, in the stand 10A, the smaller the ratio of the width in the short side direction of the bottom surface portion 3 to the width in the short side direction of each of the main body holding surface portion 2 and the front holding surface portion 4, the more stably the load of the display 100 is supported. Is difficult. Therefore, in the stand 10A having the bottom surface portion 3 having a narrow width in the short side direction, the above ratio is small, so it is preferable to use the support plate 26. Further, in the stand 10A having the bottom surface portion 3 having a wide bottom portion 3 in the short side direction, since the above ratio is large, it is easy to stably support the load of the display 100 without the support plate 26.

In the present embodiment, the first holding portions 21 to 24 of the main body holding surface portion 2 are individually provided, but instead of the first holding portions 21 to 24, both ends of the main body holding surface portion 2 (flat plate portion 20) are provided.
