Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to the packaging of washing machines, etc., and prevents the packaging strength from decreasing due to displacement or detachment of the cushioning material. The present invention relates to a packaging device suitable for fixing without using objects or the like.

A conventional packaging device is shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 62-45262.

In other words, a pair of side support members made of styrofoam members pasted on corrugated cardboard are prepared, and the two side support members are connected by connecting members arranged in a cross-shaped pattern. 1. A center support member made of styrofoam is connected. Insert it into the center of the material,
The structure was such that the center support member supported the center bottom of the packaged product (washing machine).

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the above-mentioned conventional technology, the cross-shaped connecting member made of corrugated paper or the like that receives the center support member connects the support members on both sides with the engagement of the grooves, so it is free from lateral impact during transportation and cargo handling. It is weak. @ Impacts on the road may bend the connecting members, disengage the engaging portions, or cut them, resulting in the central support member not being fixed. Because the washing machine hits the outer frame, there were problems such as deformation, scratches, and damage to the water tank.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art by making the fitting between the cushioning material and the frame easier and stronger, and preventing the central cushioning material from coming off or moving due to impact during transportation or cargo handling. The present invention aims to develop and provide a base shock absorber that prevents deformation, scratches, and damage to products, and has good assembly and workability.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, for example, the leg frames and the central frame are made of corrugated plastic cardboard.
For example, this is accomplished by fitting leg cushioning materials and central cushioning materials made of styrene plastic and fixing them at specific positions on each frame.

[Effect]

The packaging device according to the present invention includes a base cushioning body in which leg cushioning materials for protecting the legs of a product to be packaged are positioned at four corners of a leg frame, in which the leg cushioning materials are positioned. By providing the central frame for fixation on the leg frame, it is possible to suppress the movement of the product back and forth and from side to side.

More specifically, the center cushioning material that protects the lower center of the product is fitted into the hole provided in the center frame, and the leg cushioning material that protects the legs of the product is inserted into the four corners of the leg frame. When the flaps provided on the four sides of the central frame are folded and stored in the leg frames, the length of the central frame is 9.
Since the width dimension is almost the same as the inner dimension of the upright parts provided on the four sides of the leg frame, the central shock absorber with the center shock absorber fitted to the center frame cannot be inserted into the base shock absorber. The dehydration tank inside the washing machine can be fixed and protected by fitting the transportation fitting fixed to the lower part of the dehydration tank inside the washing machine main body into the metal fitting holder attached to the central buffer body. .

As a result, damage due to product displacement due to external forces such as falling impact and vibration impact during transportation and cargo handling, as well as scratches,
Deformation etc. can be prevented.
