Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a tray with an integrated partition and blank thereof, and more particularly to a tray with an integrated partition and a blank thereof for fixing contents during transportation and storage.

When items in containers such as cylindrical or inverted truncated cones are placed on trays for transportation and/or storage, the containers may move within the trays, potentially damaging the containers and their contents.

Therefore, in Patent Document 1, a partition piece is provided in the tray to suppress the movement of the inverted truncated cone-shaped stored items.

However, when the partition pieces described in Patent Document 1 are used, although the containers sandwiched by the partition pieces are fixed, the containers are not sufficiently fixed at the tray ends, especially at the corners which are particularly susceptible to impact, and the containers are not accommodated. The risk of property damage has not been resolved.

The first support piece 50 is erected on the bottom plate 10 , is connected to the first side surface 20 , protrudes toward the inside of the tray 100 , and contacts the contents 200 at the first contact portion 51 . The first support piece 50 may be provided with an opening 55 that encompasses part of the fold line.

The second support piece 60 is provided inside the tray 100 so as to cover the ridge 25 where the adjacent first side surface 20 and the second side surface 30 intersect, and makes a second contact with the accommodated article 200 . Contact at portion 61 . In one embodiment of the present invention, the second support piece 60 connects to the end of the first side surface 20 via a fold line. As will be described later, the first side surface 20 is formed by folding the first surface 320 inward, at which time the second support piece 60 connected to the end of the first surface 320 is attached to the tray 100 . It will be installed inside. The folded first surface 320 may be fixed by applying adhesive to the inner surfaces facing each other when folded, and for example, an engagement protrusion is provided on the portion of the first surface 320 that contacts the bottom plate, The bottom plate 10 may be provided with notches into which the engaging projections can be inserted, and the first side surface 20 may be formed by engaging and fixing them.

As described above, in one embodiment of the present invention, the container 200 includes the partition piece 40, the first support piece 50, the second support piece 60, the first contact portion 51, and the second contact portion 61. , and the third contact portion 41, respectively, and lateral movement within the tray 100 is suppressed. In one embodiment of the present invention, the arc formed by the first contact portion 51 and the second contact portion 61 separates the first contact portion 51 , the second contact portion 61 and the third contact portion 41 . It preferably has a length of 1/4 or more of the circumference of the circle formed therethrough.

Also, in one embodiment of the present invention, tray 100 may be provided with protrusions 70 and recesses 75 at both ends of ridge 25 . When the trays 100 are stacked vertically, the protrusions 70 and the recesses 75 are engaged with each other to improve durability against lateral forces.

Additionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, tray 100 can be formed from a single sheet. The material of the sheet may be any material as long as the tray 100 can be formed by cutting, folding, or the like, preferably cardboard, and corrugated cardboard, kraft paper, or the like can be used. Cardboard is more preferable. In one embodiment of the present invention, the strength and properties of the paperboard may be appropriately selected according to the articles to be accommodated. For example, corrugated cardboard with a water-repellent coating on the surface may be used as the sheet. Reinforcement material or reinforced cardboard with increased thickness may also be used.

Yet another embodiment of the invention relates to blank 300 forming tray 100 . The blank 300 of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to FIG.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the blank 300 has a rectangular bottom plate 310, a set of first surfaces 320, and a set of second surfaces 330, and a partition piece portion 340; It has a portion 350 that serves as a first support piece and a portion 360 that serves as a second support piece.

The first surface 320 is the surface that is folded toward the inside of the tray 100 and forms the first side surface 20 . A pair of first surfaces 320 face each other across the bottom plate 310 and are adjacent to the bottom plate 310 via first fold lines 325 .

The second surface 330 is the surface that is folded toward the inside of the tray 100 and forms the second side surface 30 . A pair of second surfaces 330 are opposed to each other across the bottom plate 310 and are adjacent to the bottom plate 310 via second fold lines 335 .

The part 340 to be the partition piece has two pairs of sides facing each other. , and the remaining set is formed by making a slit in the bottom plate 310 parallel to the first fold line 325 . In one embodiment of the present invention, a cutout portion 345 may be provided on the side formed by the cutout. The notch portion 345 may be arcuate, or polygonal such as a triangle or a square.

The portion 350 serving as the first support piece has two sets of sides facing each other, and one side of one set of the opposing sides is connected to the bottom plate 310 and the remaining one side is connected to the first surface 320. , and the remaining set can be formed by slitting the bottom plate 310 parallel to the second fold line 335 between the bottom plate 310 and the second surface 330 . The portion 350 that will be the first support piece may be provided with an opening 355 that includes a portion of the fold line. Such openings can improve workability when the blank is folded to form the tray.

The portion 360 that will be the second support piece is connected to the end of the first surface 320 via a folding line parallel to the second folding line 335 .

In one embodiment of the present invention, blank 300 may be folded and optionally glued to provide tray 100 . Bending and bonding may be performed mechanically or manually.

The tray 100 thus formed is suitable for transporting and/or storing containers having a cylindrical or inverted frusto-conical shape, and particularly for transporting and/or storing fragile items such as those with soft contents. preferable.
