Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the amount of cushioning material to be used for a container device of electronic equipment, etc., and make it easy to separately dispose of corrugated board and foamed styrene resin after used. CONSTITUTION:Nearly cubic cushioning material 1 is made of foamed styrene resin, etc., and a groove 1a is provided on the recessed part inside the side face of line cushioning material to receive a corrugated board tongue flap 2b of a box 2. The tongue flap 2b with a cut and a folding line is provided on a bottom inner flap 2a of the box 2 so that the tongue flap 2b is fitted in the groove 1a of the cushioning material 1. When the cushioning material 1 are attached, they are arranged in the four corners of the box 2 with the recessed parts of the cushioning materials 1 facing each other, and fixed by the two opposite tongue flaps 2b of the bottom inner flaps 2a. As the cushioning materials 1 are removable from the box 2, the amount of the cushioning material to be used can be reduced, and corrugated board and foamed styrene resin can be easily disposed of separately.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a storage device for electronic equipment and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, electronic devices such as printers and typewriters are housed in devices having a cushioning effect such as styrofoam in order to absorb shocks received during transportation and storage. Particularly in heavy-duty laser printers and the like, the packaging box is divided into upper and lower parts to facilitate packaging and unpacking. Further, as the cushioning member on the bottom surface, a cushioning material such as styrofoam integrally formed with the box on the bottom surface was used. Environmental destruction caused by dust and non-combustible materials, which has increased rapidly in recent years, has become a problem.

A conventional storage device for electronic equipment will be described below with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the electronic device 3 was inserted into the wrapping packaging container 6 from both sides by the cushioning members 4 and 5. That is, the substantially frame-shaped cushioning members 4 and 5 are commonly referred to as a side pack method, and the cushioning members 4 and 5 are attached from both sides of the electronic device 3 and then packaged from above the electronic device 3 in an integrated state. It was inserted into the container 6 and the upper inner flap 6a and the upper outer flap 6b were closed for packaging.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional configuration, when the buffer members 4, 5 become unnecessary after the electronic device 3 is unpacked after being transported, the buffer members 4, 5 themselves are very bulky. However, since it can only be used for buffering, it has been problematic in that it takes time and effort to be disposed of and then incinerated or landfilled.

The present invention is intended to solve the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to reduce the amount of cushioning material used and to facilitate the separation of corrugated paper and expanded polystyrene after use.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention comprises a box body having an open upper portion and four substantially rectangular cushioning members each having a groove in an inner recess, and the box body faces each other. Tongues formed by notches and creases are respectively provided on the two inner bottom flaps, and the tongues of the two opposing inner bottom flaps are inserted into the box body so that the tongues of the two inner bottom flaps are recessed inside the cushioning member. The box body and the cushioning member can be attached and detached by being pushed into the groove and fixed.

[0007]

According to the present invention, in the above construction, the four buffer members are inserted into the four corners of the box so that the recesses of the four buffer members face each other, and the tongues of the inner flaps of the bottom of the box are temporarily raised upward. After inserting, fold it inward so as to cover it from above and press it into the inner recessed groove of the buffer member,
When the position is regulated, the four recesses form a storage space for the electronic device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.
Will be described with reference to. As shown in the figure, the cushioning members 1 made of styrofoam and the like have substantially the same rectangular shape as each other, and a groove 1a for receiving the tongue portion 2b of the corrugated board of the box body 2 is formed in the side inner concave portion of the main body. Is provided. The box body 2 having an open top has a substantially rectangular box shape, and has the shape of an A-1 type box. Further, the flap 2a in the bottom surface thereof has a tongue portion 2 having cuts and creases so as to be inserted in a groove 1a provided in a concave portion of the cushioning member 1.
b is provided. As for the mounting method, the cushioning member 1 is inserted into the four corners of the bottom surface of the box body 2 so that the concave portions thereof face each other.
At this time, the tongue portion 2b of the inner bottom flap 2a is temporarily lifted upward, the cushioning member 1 is inserted and then folded, the cushioning member 1 is pressed so as to cover it from above, and the cushioning member 1 is inserted into the box body 2. After that, a storage space for the electronic device is formed. Therefore, automatic packaging by an automatic machine is possible, and as for the treatment after use, the corrugated paper and the Styrofoam can be easily separated by performing the work opposite to that before attaching the box body 2 and the cushioning member 1. It is possible.

[0009]

As is clear from the above description of the embodiments, the box body having an open upper portion and the four substantially rectangular cushioning members are provided, and the two flaps in the bottom face facing each other of the box body are A tongue portion is formed by cutting and folding lines, a groove is provided along the two continuous inner ridge lines in the concave portion of the cushioning member, and the cushioning member is further inserted into the box body so as to face each other. By fixing the cushioning member with the tongue of the flap in the bottom surface, the box body and the cushioning member can be attached and detached, so that the amount of cushioning material used can be reduced and automatic packaging by an automatic machine is possible. It is possible, and even when it is no longer needed, it is easy to separate the corrugated board and the styrofoam.
