This outer box 24 is made by cutting out a cardboard material into the developed shape shown in FIG. 3, bending it along ruled lines 31, and gluing it together with a seam allowance 32 to make it three-dimensional. As can be seen from this developed shape, the outer bottom flap 33 extends from the lower end of one longitudinal side wall 28, the outer bottom flap 34 extends from the lower end of the other longitudinal side wall 28, and the bottom outer flap 34 extends from the lower end of the side wall 29. The inner flap 35 extends.

Therefore, the bottom of the outer box 24 shown in FIG. 1 is formed by removably stacking the outer bottom flap 33, the outer bottom flap 34, and the pair of inner bottom flaps 35. That is, first, the outer bottom flap 33 is folded inward by 90 degrees, and the inner bottom flaps 35 on both sides are folded over it. Next, bend the outside flap 34 and place the tip of the outside flap 34 on the ruled line 3 into the recess at the tip of the already bent outside flap 33.

This compartment/buffer material 37 is fitted into the outer box 24 as shown in FIG. has been done. As a result, the inner space of the outer box 24 is located on both sides of the T-shaped space 49 located in the center and the portion sandwiched between the opposing surfaces 41. It is divided into an I-shaped space 50. In this state, from the above-mentioned dimensional relationship, the surfaces 40, 41, and 42 of the compartment/buffer material 37 are all parallel to (or perpendicular to) the side wall of the outer box 24.

In the above explanation, for the sake of clarity, it has been explained that the compartment/cushioning material 37 is adhesively fixed to the outer box 24 which has been assembled three-dimensionally in advance, but in the actual manufacturing process, The compartment/buffer material 37 shown in FIG. 4 is adhered to the outer box 24 (the outer box 24 in the state shown in FIG. 3), and then the joint allowance 32 of the outer box 24 is attached to the longitudinal side wall 28.
It is easier to adhere to.

Reference numeral 51 is a fitting plate made of tambor material, which has a tall central portion 51a and low side portions 51.

9, that is, equal to the width of the surface 42 of the partition/buffer material 37, and the width of both side portions 51b is equal to the width of the I-shaped space 50, that is, the width of the surface 40 of the partition/buffer material 37. . A cut groove 52 having a width equal to the thickness of the cardboard material is formed at the boundary between the central portion 51a and both side portions 51b.
53 is a reinforcing plate that reinforces the lower part of the fitting plate 51;
They are connected together at the lower side of the fitting plate 51 and are connected to each other by stitching wires 54.
55 is a U-shaped motor receiving plate made of cardboard, and its width is the same as that of the central portion 51a.
One end of the upper surface of the motor receiving plate 55 is integrally connected to the upper center of the reinforcing plate 53. That is, in this embodiment, the fitting plate 51 and the reinforcing plate 5
3 and the motor receiving plate 55 are made by bending die-cut pieces having the developed shape shown in FIG. 5 along ruled lines 56. 57 is a handle provided at the other end of the upper surface of the motor receiving plate 55.

The fitting plate 51 and the motor receiving plate 55 are connected to the partition/buffer material 37 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 11.
It is inserted into the T-shaped space 49 from below, and the cut groove 43 provided on the surface 41 of the partition/buffer material 37 and the cut groove 52 of the fitting plate 51 fit into each other. In this state, both ends of the fitting plate 51 are in contact with the inner surface of the outer box 24, and the partition/buffer material 37 (the opposing surfaces 41 thereof) is sandwiched and fixed between the central portion 51a and both side portions 51b. Reference numeral 58 denotes a base plate made of corrugated cardboard and has a size that fits exactly into the head of the T-shaped space 49 of the outer box 24, and its upper end is bent horizontally to serve as a base holder 59. Reference numeral 60 denotes a base holder attached to the lower part of the base plate 58 on the side of the base presser 59, which is made of cardboard cut out into the planar shape shown in FIG. 7, folded along ruled lines 62, and then glued. The shape and height of the upper end surface of the base receiver 60 are matched to the shape of the rear end of the lower part of the base 8 of the fan body 7. This base plate 58 is shown in FIG.
As shown in Figure 0, it is inserted into the head of the T-shaped space 49 from above.

Reference numeral 61 is a rectangular cardboard tube which is assembled by bending along ruled lines 63 from the planar shape shown in FIG.

In order to store a fan in the foldable fan packaging box constructed as described above, first the main body 7 of the fan is fitted into the T-shaped space 49 from above, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The rear part of the base 8 (corresponding to the lower part in FIGS. 1 and 2) is attached to the upper end of the base receiver 60 of the base plate 58, and also to the rear part of the electric motor 10 (same as above).
are in contact with the upper surface of the motor receiving plate 55 and supported in the vertical direction, and the upper surface of the base 8 is pressed by the surface 40 of the partition/buffer material 37, so that the motor 10
The upper part of the outer box 24 is also fixed in the longitudinal direction by coming into contact with the inner wall of the outer box 24. A square tube 61 is placed over the front of the electric motor 10 (upper side in the figure). Next, the front guard 21 is placed in the I-shaped space 50 on the side of the opening 30 for inserting the hand, and the rear guard 22 and the blade 20 placed therein are placed together in the I-shaped space 50 on the opposite side. The guard handle 23 is hooked onto the hook 46a of the hook groove 46 of the compartment/buffer material 37. In this state, as can be seen in Figure 2, the front guard 21, the rear guard 2
In the I-shaped space 50, the outer box 24 is stabilized in the longitudinal direction by the surface 40 of the partition/buffer material 37 and the fitting plate 51 (the rear guard 22 is further connected to the hooking groove 46 via the guard handle 23). Retained. In addition, the switches on the base 8 of the fan body 7 are provided with relief grooves 4.
It is located within 7.

After inserting the electric fan into the outer box 24 as described above, both inner flaps 27 are closed, and then both outer flaps 26 are folded and the joints are sealed with tape to complete the packaging. In this state, each part of the electric fan is connected to the T-shaped space 49 in the outer box 24 and the I
The lid, which is held in the character-shaped space 50 in the longitudinal direction and the direction perpendicular thereto, and is further closed, i.e., the outer lid flap 26, the inner lid flap 27, and the bottom, i.e.,
The electric motor 10 is held by the outer bottom flap 33, the outer bottom flap 34, and the inner bottom flap 35, and in particular by the motor receiving plate 55 and the rectangular tube 61 without wobbling in the vertical direction. The compartment/buffer material 37 that partitions the T-shaped space 49 and the I-shaped space 50 is not only adhesively fixed to the outer box 24 at the tip of the T-shaped leg and both ends of the T-shaped head. Since it is also held by the fitting plate 51, it has sufficient strength against repeated external forces in the lateral direction and impact forces in the vertical direction during transportation, and the internal components can be safely protected.

Further, handling of the packaging box containing the electric fan is extremely easy because the hand can be inserted through the hand insertion opening 30 of the outside flap 26 and the hand can be placed in the handle hole 44. At this time, since the hand protection plate 45a of the handle hole reinforcing plate 45 covers the upper side of the handle hole 44, the upper end of the handle hole 44 does not dig into the palm of the hand and cause pain to the hand.

To remove the fan from the packaging box, simply follow the above steps in reverse. The packaging box after the electric fan is removed is the bottom of the outer box 24, that is, the outer bottom flap 33, the outer bottom flap 34, and the inner bottom flap 35.
is disengaged, the motor receiving plate 55 is rotated 90 degrees upward (see the arrow in FIG. 11) using the handle 57, and the outer box 24 is pressed in the diagonal direction of the opening 25. The dimensional relationship between the dimension X in the direction and the width dimension Y in the direction perpendicular to it is L (I
Since the length of the periphery of the I-shaped space) = X + Y (the length of the periphery of the I-shaped space due to partitions and cushioning materials), the entire packaging box is folded, and therefore the space for storing the packaging box is and costs are significantly reduced.
If you want to use it as a packaging box, you can do the opposite. This kind of folding is possible because all the partitions and cushioning materials 37 are provided parallel to (or at right angles to) the side wall of the outer box 24, and when the motor receiving plate 55
This is because it is provided integrally with the fitting plate 51 so that it can be folded up to the fitting plate 51.

Note that the T-shaped space 49 and the I-shaped space 50
Since the shape of the I-shaped spaces 50 is determined by the items stored therein, when implementing the present invention, it is not necessary to set the I-shaped spaces 50 evenly as in this embodiment. The same applies to the I-shaped space 50. For example, if the front guard 21 and the rear guard 22 are housed in only one of the I-shaped spaces 50 and only the blades 20 are housed in the other, a size relationship will occur in the I-shaped spaces 50. In addition, T-shaped space 4
It also differs depending on the shape of the switch part of the main body 7 of the electric fan housed in the electric fan 9. That is, the T-shaped space 49 and the I-shaped space 50 can be
They become a substantially T-shaped space and a substantially I-shaped space.

In this way, one side of the above embodiment is open and a lid is integrally provided around the opening, and when the internal space of this outer box is viewed from the direction of the opening, there is an abbreviation for storing the fan body located in the center. Divided into a T-shaped space and a pair of roughly I-shaped spaces for storing blades and guards located on both sides of the legs of this T-shape, the structure is simple and easy to store. Furthermore, the portion defining the approximately T-shaped leg of the compartment/buffer material is fixed to the inner wall of the outer box via the fitting plate,
Not only can the fan be stored and protected with sufficient strength and cushioning properties, but it can also be manufactured at low cost and the entire packaging box can be folded, so it has the excellent effect of not taking up much space for storage.

[Effects of the invention] As explained above, the foldable packaging box for electric fans of this invention has an outer box with an opening on one side and a lid integrally provided around the opening, and an open space inside the outer box. When viewed from the direction, the section is divided into a substantially T-shaped space located in the center for storing the main body of the electric fan, and a pair of substantially I-shaped spaces located on both sides of the legs of this substantially T-shape for storing blades and guards.・The dimensional relationship between the longitudinal dimension X of the approximately I-shaped space made of the aforementioned compartments and the cushioning material and the outer box, and the width dimension Y of the perpendicular direction thereof, is determined by the approximately I-shaped space formed by the outer box. When the circumferential length of the space is L, the partitions and cushioning materials are joined inside the outer box so that L=X+Y. , by removing the fitting plate, which has both ends abutting against the inner wall of the outer box and which engages with the compartment/cushioning material at the center to fix the compartment/cushioning material, the compartment/cushioning material remains joined inside the outer box. Since the packaging box can be folded diagonally in the direction of the opening of the outer box, the entire packaging box can be folded, which has the effect of saving space for storage.
