JPH0880966A - Packaging case for dry batteries - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: To enable easily distinguishing each unit shrink pack of dry batteries in a package from the others therein by providing the package with an index having substantially the same breadth as the shrink pack. CONSTITUTION: A flap 7 formed at the edge of the front side 3 of a package is provided with indexes 8 projecting from parts of the flap 7. A plurality of shrink packs 11 are placed inside the package. In each of the shrink packs 11 four dry batteries 13 are packed side by side in a transparent, heat-shrinkable film 12 in such a way as to be visible from outside. This packaging makes it hard to distinguish the boundary between adjoining shrink packs 11. Therefore, by providing indexes 8 each having substantially the same breadth as the shrink pack 11 has, each shrink pack 11 becomes distinguishable from another. It is prevented, in attaching price tags, for a single tag to be attached to two adjoining shrink packs 11 across their boundary.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a battery storage case in which a plurality of shrink packs containing a predetermined number of batteries are stored. More specifically, the stored shrink packs can be easily unitized. The present invention relates to a battery storage case that can be distinguished.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A shrink pack stored in a battery storage case is a predetermined number of batteries, for example, two or four batteries arranged side by side and packaged in a heat-shrinkable film. Is shipped with a plurality of the shrink packs housed in a battery housing case.

[0003] Therefore, at a retail store, each shrink pack is priced and sold in shrink pack units, but since the shrink pack itself is not provided with a mark for identifying each shrink pack, the shrink pack is a battery. If you try to bid on a shrink pack while it is stored in the storage case for the shrink pack, it is difficult to distinguish the shrink pack for each unit during the pricing work.Therefore, the label showing the price is spread over the adjacent shrink packs ( In other words, there was a problem that it was stuck on the shrink pack and the adjacent shrink pack.

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to only those examples.

FIG. 1 is a development view showing an embodiment of a battery storage case of the present invention in an expanded state. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state in which the battery storage case shown in FIG. 1 is assembled and the shrink pack is stored therein. However, in FIG. 2, the upper surface portion is open so that the inside of the battery storage case can be seen. FIG. 3 is a plan view schematically showing the shrink pack with a part of the heat-shrinkable film cut away. In FIG. 3, the battery and the shrink pack are shown in a larger size than those in FIGS. 2 and 4. ing. FIG. 4 is a plan view of relevant parts schematically showing a state in which a plurality of shrink packs are stored in a battery storage case.

First, referring to FIG. 1, each component of the battery storage case will be described. 1 is an upper surface portion, 2 is a lower surface portion,
Reference numeral 3 is a front surface portion, 4 is a rear surface portion, 5 is a right side surface portion, 6 is a left side surface portion, 7 is a folded portion provided at the tip of the front surface portion 3, 8
Is an index, and this index 8 is provided by protruding a part of the folded-back portion 7. Reference numeral 9 is a flap, and the flaps 9 are provided at both ends of the right side surface portion 5 and the left side surface portion 6, and four flaps are provided as a whole. Reference numeral 10 denotes a notch, which is provided on the upper surface portion 1 and corresponds to the index 8, and the index 8 is inserted into the notch 10 when the battery storage case is assembled.

The battery storage case is not particularly limited in terms of material, but for example, white cardboard, E-flute corrugated cardboard, etc. are used, and by punching from the so-called paperboard state to the state shown in FIG. It is formed.

In order to assemble the battery storage case in the state shown in FIG. 1, for example, the right side surface portion 5 and the left side surface portion 6 are arranged along the folding curve around the lower surface portion 2 on the paper surface shown in FIG. The flap 9 is bent toward the upper surface side, the rear surface portion 4 and the front surface portion 3 are bent, and the insides thereof are brought into contact with the flaps 9 so that the folded-back portion 7 at the tip of the front surface portion 3 and the upper surface portion 1 face each other. Can be folded inward. However, the order of bending of each part may be different from the above, and the flap 9 may be glued if necessary. Then, a plurality of shrink packs, for example, 10 shrink packs are stored inside the battery storage case after or during assembly.

In this embodiment, the shrink pack 1
As shown in FIG. 3, four batteries 13 are side-by-side wrapped by a heat-shrinkable film 12, and a transparent heat-shrinkable film 12 is included so that the included batteries 13 can be seen from the outside. Since one of the shrink packs 11 is used, the end of the shrink pack 11 can be seen, but as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, a plurality of the shrink packs 11 are arranged and stored in a battery storage case. Then, only the enclosed battery 13 can be seen, and the boundary between the adjacent shrink packs 11 cannot be seen.

Therefore, in the past, a label was sometimes applied across the adjacent shrink packs 11 (that is, across the shrink pack 11 and the adjacent shrink pack 11), but in the present invention, the label is used. 8 is provided, it is possible to easily identify each shrink pack 11.

That is, FIG. 4 shows the shrink pack 11
And the index 8 are schematically shown. P1, P2,
P3, P4, and P5 represent shrink pack 11 units, respectively, but since the indicators 8 are arranged at P2 and P4, respectively, P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5.
The shrink packs 11 can be identified by their units. Therefore, it becomes easy to attach the label for each shrink pack 11 unit at the time of pricing, and it is possible to prevent the label from being attached across the shrink pack 11 and the adjacent shrink pack 11.

In the present invention, the index 8 is set to have substantially the same width as the width of the shrink pack 11, but it means that the index 8 may have the same width or may have substantially the same width. That is, substantially individual shrink packs 11
As long as you can tell the difference, it will not hinder the workability when sticking the label, so if it is in the same width, it would be better, but even if it is not in the same width, This is because they need only be formed to have substantially the same width so that the individual shrink packs 11 can be distinguished from each other.

FIG. 5 is a development view showing another embodiment of the battery storage case of the present invention in an expanded state, and FIG. 6 is an assembly view of the battery storage case shown in FIG. 5, in which a shrink pack is stored. It is a perspective view shown in the state where it did. However,
Similar to FIG. 2, this FIG. 6 also shows the battery case with its upper surface opened so that the inside can be seen.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the index 8 is provided by printing on the folded portion 7 at the front end of the battery storage case. In FIGS. 5 and 6, the printing is indicated by meshes.

Even in the case of the index 8 provided by this printing, the shrink pack 11 can be easily distinguished for each unit similarly to the index 8 provided by the partial protrusion of the folded-back portion 7. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the label from being erroneously applied over the space between the adjacent shrink packs 11 when the price is set.

[0019]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the battery storage case is provided with the index, the plurality of shrink packs stored in the battery storage case can be easily distinguished for each unit. I can do it now. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the label from being stuck across the shrink packs adjacent to each other at the time of pricing.
