Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a product package used for packaging products such as fluorescent lamps and dry batteries, and more particularly to a product package that can be easily manufactured from cardboard.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when carrying various products, various packages are used to protect the products. In addition, relatively small products such as dry batteries and fluorescent tubes are often exhibited and sold, and in this case, various types of packaging are also made.
In this case, the product is often packaged so that it can be seen from the outside.

For packages such as dry batteries, shrink packs made of plastic (vinyl chloride) having the property of shrinking by heating are often used. According to this shrink pack, it is possible to pack along the outer shape of the dry battery, and it is possible to reliably pack two, four, etc. dry batteries together.

Further, when exhibiting, it may be suspended and exhibited. Then, the actual development Sho 58-38570
In the dry battery package described in the publication, the dry battery is covered on the surface of the mount with a transparent cover, and the periphery of the dry battery of this cover is attached to the mount. Then, the transparent cover is heated and shrunk to fix the battery. In addition, a hanging hole is formed on the top of the mount so that the entire package can be hung.

Further, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-13955 discloses that a mount is provided with a standing portion by cutting and a dry battery is held by this standing portion.
Japanese Patent No. 92278 discloses that an opening corresponding to a positive electrode projection of a dry battery is provided in a standing portion. By providing the upright portion in this manner, the fixing of the dry battery by the transparent cover can be made efficient and reliable.

[0006] It should be noted that, for various products other than dry batteries, almost the same structure is often used for the display package.

[0007]

However, the above-mentioned conventional example is premised on covering the product with a transparent cover made of plastic. Plastics are often difficult to decompose due to bacteria, and pollutants are likely to be generated during incineration, so that there is a problem that pollution is likely to occur at the time of disposal.

On the other hand, paper has little adverse effect on the environment. However, in the case of paper wrapping, the product often disappears at the time of exhibition, and work such as sticking is required.
There is a problem that the number of packaging processes increases.

[0009]

A product package according to the present invention comprises a single cardboard plate, and is formed by bending a back plate portion and an upper portion of the back plate portion of the cardboard plate into a rectangular shape. Upper fold-back part, a lower fold-back part formed by bending the lower part of the back plate part of the cardboard-like plate into a square shape, and an upper product insertion opening formed in the lower surface facing the lower side of the upper fold-back part. And a lower product insertion opening formed by hollowing out the upper surface of the lower folded portion facing upward.

Further, the upper or lower folded-back portion has a back surface extending along the back plate portion further on the tip side of the lower surface or the upper surface where the product insertion opening is formed, and the tip of this back surface is the back. It is characterized in that it reaches the tip of the plate portion and constitutes a stopper.

Further, a cut is formed at a bent portion of the folded-back portion which is continuous with the back plate portion, and a tongue portion which extends upward through the cut is formed at a front end of the back surface. It is characterized in that a hanging hole is formed in the tongue. The back plate portion is characterized in that it is formed with a band-shaped portion that crosses the width direction and is easily separated.

On the upper surface of the upper folded portion, there is provided a notch for forming an opening therethrough and the back plate side is not cut, and the notch communicates with a part of the back plate part. A tongue portion extending upward is formed upright, and a hanging hole is formed in the tongue portion.

[0013]

According to the present invention, one cardboard is folded to form a package, and therefore, work such as pasting is not required, workability is good, and a package can be easily formed from paper. By having the back surface function as a stopper, the package can be reinforced without the need for a reinforcing material. Further, by suspending a part of the back surface and providing the tongue portion, the suspension becomes easy.

Further, the product can be easily removed by separating the strip portion. Further, by providing a tongue portion by erecting a part of the upper surface, an opening corresponding to this tongue portion is formed, and by this opening, for example, the positive electrode convex portion of the dry battery is supported to securely fix the product. .

[0015]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a product (fluorescent tube) package of an embodiment, FIG. 2 is an exploded view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a front view of a fluorescent tube as a target of the package. in this way,
The package of this embodiment is composed of one cardboard. The central portion constitutes the back plate portion 10, the upper portion of the cardboard constitutes the upper folded portion 12, and the lower portion constitutes the lower folded portion 14.

The upper folded portion 12 is formed by bending thick paper at four places, and has an upper surface 20, a front surface 22, a lower surface 24 and a rear surface 26 from the back plate portion 10 side. A notch 28 is formed in the bent portion forming the boundary between the back plate portion 10 and the upper surface 20.
A product insertion opening 30 is formed on the lower surface 24. Further, a tongue portion 32 is formed on the tip side of the back surface 26, the width of the tongue portion 32 is formed to be substantially the same as the width of the cut 28 (slightly smaller), and the tongue portion 32 is hung at the center thereof. A hole 34 is formed.

Next, like the upper folding portion 12, the lower folding portion 14 is also constructed by folding thick paper at four places, and a lower surface 40, a front surface 42, an upper surface 44 and a rear surface 46 are formed from the back plate portion 10 side. ing. The front end side of the back surface 26 is formed in a slightly tapered shape. An opening 48 for product insertion is formed on the upper surface 44.

A pair of intermittent cuts are formed in the central portion of the back plate 10 across the width thereof so that the strip portion 52 sandwiched between the cuts 50 can be easily separated. It has become so.

On the other hand, the fluorescent tube 60, which is a product, includes two tubular portions 62, 62 having distal ends connected to each other, and a base portion 64 for sealing the tubular portions 62 and mounting electrodes and the like. 64 has a larger cross-sectional area. Further, below the base portion 64, four connection pins 66 for electrically connecting to the outside are provided.

In addition, the foldable portion of the cardboard is preliminarily scored by a press or the like so that it can be easily folded.

When a product is packaged by this package, the fluorescent tube 60 is first inserted into the lower product insertion opening 48. Then, the lower folded portion 14
Fold. Then, in a state where the upper folded portion 12 is bent, as shown in FIG. 4, the upper folded portion 12 is lifted from the back plate portion 10 and inserted from the tip of the fluorescent tube 60.

As a result, the product can be held in the state shown in FIG. And in the case of an exhibition,
The hanging hole 34 is hung on the hook to be displayed for hanging.
In this case, the tongue portion 32 is pulled upward, but since the shoulder portion 26a of the folded-back portion 26 abuts against the bent portion of the back plate portion 10 and the upper surface 20, it functions as a stopper, so that there is no adverse effect on product retention due to hanging. Absent. On the other hand, the opening area of the lower product insertion opening 48 is smaller than that of the fluorescent tube 6.
Since it is set smaller than the base portion 64 of 0, the fluorescent tube 60
Can't get out of here.

Furthermore, since the opening area of the upper product insertion opening 30 is substantially the same as the cross-sectional area of the fluorescent tube 60,
There is very little danger that the fluorescent tube 60 will come off from here. On the other hand, when inserting the product, the shape shown in Fig. 4
The product can be inserted relatively easily. Further, if the length of the front surface 22 or the back surface 26 of the upper folded portion 12 is increased, the fluorescent tube 60 becomes difficult to come off. However, if the length is too long, the fluorescent tube 60 cannot be inserted. good.

When the fluorescent tube 60 was actually inserted into the package of this embodiment, it was found that the fluorescent tube 60 was relatively easy to remove even though the insertion was relatively easy. Therefore, in this embodiment, the strip-shaped portion 52 provided on the back plate portion 10 is cut off so that the back plate portion 10 can be separated into two. Therefore, it is easy to remove the fluorescent tube 60 when it is used.

As described above, according to the package of the present embodiment, one cardboard can be easily manufactured by cutting it into a predetermined shape. Therefore, the work of packaging is easy without the need for attachment or the like.
And because we don't use plastic in the package,
There are no problems when discarding the package.

Further, according to this embodiment, since the base portion 64 of the fluorescent tube 60 is large, the lower folded portion 14 is thicker than the upper folded portion 12. Therefore, when packing a large number of products in corrugated cardboard, the two can be made into one rectangular parallelepiped shape by aligning them in opposite directions, and the fluorescent tube 60 can be broken without extra packaging or the like. Can be prevented. Therefore, useless use of wrapping paper can be suppressed.

Further, it is preferable to print various indications on the front surfaces 22 and 42 of the upper folding part 12 and the lower folding part 14, and printing on thick paper is very easy.

Next, shown in FIGS. 5 to 6 is a package for a dry battery (AA). The overall structure is almost the same as that of the above-described embodiment, but the method of forming the tongue portion 70 is different. That is, in the present example, a part of the upper surface 20 is cut away leaving the back plate portion 10 side, and the tongue portion 70 is erected relatively to the upper surface 20. The size of the opening 72 formed by erecting the tongue portion 70 is
It corresponds to the position of the positive electrode convex portion 82 of the dry battery. That is, in this example, since four AA dry batteries 80 are arranged side by side and packaged, the positive electrode convex portions 82 of the dry batteries 80 at both ends are in contact with the two corners of the opening 72, and the two positive batteries of the inner two dry batteries 80 are contacted. The front end of the convex portion 82 comes into contact with the opening. Thereby, the dry battery 80 can be held more reliably.

Further, in this example, the folded-back portions 26, 4
The length of 6 is set so as to abut against the upper surface 20 and the lower surface 40 when the product is stored. Therefore, the folded-back portions 26 and 46 function as stoppers so that the shape of the package is less likely to collapse and the product is less likely to come off.

When the dry battery 80 is accommodated in the package, as shown in FIG. 7, after folding the lower folded portion 14, four dry batteries 80 are inserted into the lower product insertion openings 48 and then the upper folded portion. Bend 12 and then dry cell 8
While inserting the upper part of 0 into the upper product insertion opening 30,
The convex portion 82 of the dry battery 80 is projected upward from the opening 72,
Hook and fix.

As described above, according to the package of this embodiment, the dry battery can be effectively packaged by using the thick paper.

[0032]

As described above, according to the present invention,
Since a piece of thick paper is folded to form a package, there is no need for work such as pasting, the workability is good, and it is easy to form the package from paper. By having the back surface function as a stopper, the package can be reinforced without the need for a reinforcing material. Further, by suspending a part of the back surface and providing the tongue portion, the suspension becomes easy. Further, the product can be easily removed by separating the band-shaped portion.
Further, by providing a tongue portion by erecting a part of the upper surface, an opening corresponding to this tongue portion is formed, and by this opening, for example, the positive electrode convex portion of the dry battery is supported to securely fix the product. .
