2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in order to distribute and sell lighting equipment, for example, the lighting equipment has been wrapped in a cushioning member such as corrugated cardboard or sponge, and then packed in an outer box. Generally, lighting equipment is equipped with a shade made of glass or earthenware, and since this shade is vulnerable to impact and is easily broken, conventionally, in order to prevent such shade from being damaged, the shade is conventionally wrapped with a plurality of cushioning members. There is.

[0003]

In such a packing method, the work of wrapping the shade in the cushioning member is very complicated, and the cushioning member enclosing the shade becomes considerably thick as a whole, and therefore the packaging is performed. Compared to the size of the lighting equipment, the exterior box as an exterior material became very large, which was very inconvenient for storage and transportation.
On the other hand, if the number of cushioning members that enclose the pedestal and the shade is reduced in order to reduce the size of the exterior box, there is a problem that the cushioning effect against impact is insufficient and the shade becomes very fragile.

On the other hand, in an electronic device such as a camera, for example, it is usual to cover the camera with foaming polystyrene having a fitting recess having a shape corresponding to the outer shape of the camera, and then package it with an exterior material such as cardboard. ing. If such a packaging method is applied to a lighting device as it is, the impact from the outside is buffered to some extent by the polystyrene foam, but the impact force is still directly transmitted to the shade, and the shade is likely to be damaged.

Therefore, the present invention can package a fragile article such as a shade of an illuminating device in a very compact manner while having a sufficient cushioning effect, and
An object of the present invention is to provide a packaging container for articles that enables easy and quick packaging work.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention takes the following technical means. That is,
The packaging container of the present invention includes an outer box and a holding material fitted in the outer box, and the upper end of the article to be packed is substantially flush with the upper surface of the holding material. As described above, the fitting recess into which the object to be packed is fitted is formed with a buffer space between the side wall of the exterior box and the buffer space is formed between the bottom of the fitting recess and the bottom wall of the exterior box. The holding material is supported by the bottom wall of the exterior box so as to be formed, and an inner lid for preventing the article to be packed from protruding from the fitting recess is placed on the upper surface of the holding material. It is characterized in that a strip-shaped spacer is interposed between the inner lid and the top wall of the exterior box so that a buffer space is formed between the top wall and the top wall of the exterior box.

In this packing container, a strip-shaped support member bent along the side wall of the exterior box is placed on the bottom wall, and is integrally provided on the peripheral edge of the holding member so as to be bent downward. The holding member can be supported on the bottom wall by engaging the piece with the upper end edge of the supporting member, and the peripheral portion of the holding member can be held by the supporting member and the spacer. Further, the locking piece can be formed in an annular shape over the entire circumference of the holding material, and the upper surface of the holding material can be reinforced by the locking piece.

Further, a spacer is provided on the peripheral edge of the inner lid so as to be bent upward, and the top wall of the exterior box is constructed by closing a flap provided on the upper edge of the side wall of the exterior box.
