The top plate 2 also serves as a cooking table on which a simple cooking operation can be performed. Reference numeral 6 denotes four base legs provided on the lower surface of the main body 1.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a packing bottom plate on which the refrigerator 1 is placed, which is formed by assembling wooden squares in a cross beam shape, and the two upper rails 9 and 9 placed at the top have the refrigerator 1 The resin-made base leg fixing tools 12 and 12 which are installed so that U-shaped grooves 11 for receiving the base legs 6 are opposed to each other are attached.

Reference numeral 15 denotes an external corrugated cardboard box which is put on the refrigerator bottom 10 after the refrigerator 10 is placed on the packing bottom plate 8, and inner flaps 16, 16 and outer flaps 17, 16 are provided on the top surface.
17, the inner flaps 16 and 16 are inside, and the outer flaps 17 and 17 are overlapped on the outside. The lower surface of the outer corrugated cardboard box 15 is opened, and 18 indicates the opening. Here, the size of the opening 18 is the packing bottom plate 8
As shown in FIG. 4, it is lapped with the horizontal crosspieces 19 and 19 in the width direction of the packing bottom plate 8 which are slightly larger and located in the front row and the last row.

The relationship between the outer corrugated cardboard box 15, the refrigerator 10 covered with the outer corrugated cardboard box 15, and the packing bottom plate 8 will be described below.
As can be seen from FIG. 3 etc., the top plate 2 which is the top surface of the refrigerator 1
And the inner flaps 16, 16 of the outer corrugated cardboard box 15 come into contact with each other, and the outer flap 1 is placed on the inner flaps 16, 16.
7 and 17 are in contact with each other and double overlapped.

Further, as understood from FIGS. 3 and 4, the width dimension of the horizontal rail 19 of the packing bottom plate 8 and the outer corrugated cardboard box 1
The inner dimensions in the longitudinal direction of 5 are almost the same, and
The inner surface of the outer corrugated cardboard box 15 comes into contact with or comes close to the end surfaces 19b and 19b of 19. Further, the lower end of the outer corrugated cardboard box 15 is almost the same as the lower surface of the horizontal rail 19 of the packing bottom plate 8. A plurality of orthogonal lower crosspieces 21 are provided below the horizontal crosspieces 19 of the packing bottom plate 8. The space 22 formed by these lower crosspieces 21 is for loading and unloading the forklift claws for cargo handling work and the like. Used.
