Partition material 9 used in this fruit packaging box
As shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the melons 3 are bent in a substantially W shape when viewed from the side so that the melons 3 can be arranged in two rows. The melon 3 can be put on 9b one by one. By using the box 1 containing the partitioning material 9 configured in this way, it is possible to elastically hold fruits such as the melons 3 in the holding recesses 9b one by one and prevent the melons 3 from hitting each other. The melon 3 is designed to be stored in a box with the vine placed on the top of the center of the partition.

[0004]

In this structure, the partition 9 holds the melon 3 elastically, so that when the box 1 moves during transportation, the inclined surface 9a is elastically deformed. The melon will move. Therefore, melon 3
The root part of the vine hits or leaves the slope,
Since the fruit around the vine of the melon 3 is repeatedly subjected to the force, there is a problem that the part is easily damaged relatively early.

Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a fruit packaging box provided with a partitioning material capable of preventing the fruit at the root of the vine such as melon from being damaged early. is there.

[0006]

A fruit packaging box according to the present invention is an outer box having a right-angled quadrilateral bottom wall and side walls connected to the bottom wall at substantially right angles to the four sides thereof. And a fruit packaging box consisting of a partitioning material used to determine the storage position of the fruit in the outer box, characterized in that it is configured as follows to solve the above technical problems There is.

That is, a partition member formed by bending a blank has a receiving surface having a storage recess for receiving fruits from below and a partition wall located between a pair of side walls of the outer box, and the partition wall is It is provided with a pair of partition surfaces facing each of the pair of sidewalls and holding the fruit between the sidewalls, and an upper surface connecting the upper end portions of the pair of partition surfaces. Further, a groove is formed on the upper end side of the partition wall along a line that passes through the center of the fruit and is substantially orthogonal to the extending direction of the partition wall.

In the above structure, when a fruit such as melon is placed in the storage recess of the receiving surface of the partition material, the melon is held in a state of being sandwiched between the partition surface and the side wall of the partition wall. Also, since the partition wall has a groove,
The roots of the vines of fruits such as melon can be placed in the grooves so that they do not come into contact with the partition wall.

In the above construction, since the groove is formed in the partition wall in this way, the root of the vine does not come into contact with the partition material even if the box moves during transportation, so that the fruit around the root of the vine has a strong force. I will not receive it. Therefore, with the above configuration, it is possible to prevent the fruit around the root of the vine from being damaged relatively early.

Further, in the above structure, the upper surface of the partition wall may be a flat surface substantially parallel to the bottom wall of the outer box, or may be a surface which is convexly curved upward. If the upper surface is configured as a flat surface, the melon can be firmly held between the partition surface and the side wall of the box, and the tip part of the vine can be stably placed on it, and if the upper surface is a curved surface, it becomes Since the elasticity is generated, the vibration of the melon can be sufficiently absorbed.

A corrugated cardboard box having a first opposing side wall and a second opposing side wall 12b) is used, and the partition member 2 is formed by bending one blank.

FIG. 2 is a development view of the partition member 2 (a plan view of the blank), FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the partition member 2 bent into a shape to be put in the outer box 1, and FIG. It is an expanded center sectional view. The blank of this partition material 2 is 310-350.
g / m ² court ball, 115 g / m ² core, 170 g / m ² K
It is made of three-layer corrugated cardboard made of liner. Further, the corrugated board is used such that the corrugations repeat in the fragmental direction of the blank 2, as shown by the broken line in the lower right part of the figure. In addition, in FIG. 2, a broken line indicates a fold line and a solid line (other than the contour) indicates a cut.

The blank of the partition member 2 has four sides parallel to the short sides (upper and lower sides in the figure) and outward from the center.
Kinds of folds 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d are formed (the fold 2a is a set of three folds), and the first fold is provided between each fold.
-Fifth surfaces 21 to 25 are formed. Folds 2e and 2f are formed on the left and right sides of the second surface 22 and the fourth surface 24, respectively.
A first bent piece 26 and a second bent piece 27 are formed via the. The partition member 2 bends this blank convexly at the folds 2a, 2c, 2d, and at the same time, bends it concavely at 2b so that the second surface 22 and the third surface 23 are superposed.
Further, the first bending piece 26 and the second bending piece 27 are convexly bent at the fold lines 2e and 2f, so that only the central portion projects upward and both sides thereof are formed into a flat shape, as shown in FIG. Since the three folds 2a are joined together, they are easily bent, and after assembly, the partition surface is rounded so that the melon is not damaged.

The central protruding portion of the partition member 2 has a melon 3 arranged in two rows when the partition member 2 is put in the outer box 1.
A partition wall 28 that prevents the partitions from hitting each other is formed, and both surfaces of the partition wall 28, that is, the second surface 22 are partition surfaces. 2nd bending piece 27 and 3rd, 5th
The surfaces 23 and 25 are formed to have the same width so that the fourth surface 24 serves as a receiving surface for the melon 3 and is kept parallel to the bottom surface 11 of the outer box 1.

The partition member 2 has a fifth face 25,
The outer surface dimension of 25 is formed so as to substantially match the inner surface dimension of the side walls (first facing side walls) 12a, 12a on the long side of the outer box 1, and the first bending pieces 26 facing each other, and The dimension between the outer surfaces of the second bent pieces 27 substantially matches the dimension between the inner surfaces of the short side walls (second facing sidewalls) 12b, 12b of the outer box 1.

Further, as shown in FIG.
3 blanks are formed with three pairs of cuts 2g that cross the central fold 2a. The cut pieces 28a formed by these cuts 2g, 2g are folded into the partition wall 28 to form the upper end of the partition wall 28. A groove 28b is formed in the groove. In order to make it easier to bend the cut piece 28a, the cut 2g has a total of 4 at the middle part of the cut 2g and at both ends.
A fold line 2h is formed at the place. In addition, it is preferable that the cut piece 28a be located on the same plane as the receiving surface 24. When the cut piece 28a is lower than the receiving surface 24, the strength of the partition wall 28 is low, and when it is higher than the receiving surface 24, The root of the melon vine hits the partition wall 28, which is not preferable.

The groove 28b is formed on the center line of the position where the melon 3 is to be held in the box, and crosses the partition wall 28 in a direction orthogonal to it. The groove 2 is formed on the receiving surface 24.
8b, a holding recess 29 for determining the melon holding position
Are formed. In order to form this holding recess 29,
The receiving surface 24 has a fold 29a along the dodecagonal contour.
A notch 29b extending inward from each corner of the dodecagonal fold 29a is formed. And each cut piece 29c formed by these cuts 29b
Is bent downward to form a holding recess 29 for receiving the melon 3 from below. Each of the bent notches 29c is formed as a seat surface that elastically receives the melon 3 from below. Each holding recess 29 has a size such that the lower portion of the melon 3 fits in, and holds the lower end of the melon 3 at a position away from the bottom wall 11 of the outer box 1, that is, the melon 3 is placed on the bottom wall of the outer box 1. It is sized so that it is held in a position floating from 11.

In the present embodiment, the partition material 2 is put in the outer box 1, and paper / nonwoven fabric or the like is further laid on the upper surface of the partition material 2 and then the melon 3 or the like is placed in the holding recess 28. Then, if necessary, an upper protective cushioning paper or the like of the melon 3 made of a water absorbing sheet is placed thereon, and then the lid (not shown) of the outer box 1 is closed and the product is carried to a retail store or the like. If a water absorbing sheet containing an antibacterial agent is placed on top of the melon 3 and packaged, an excellent effect of maintaining the freshness of the melon 3 can be obtained.

In this embodiment, the partition member 2 is formed so that the upper end of the melon 3 has a height which is substantially coincident with the upper end of the outer box 1, although not shown. Therefore, when the melon 3 is packed in the outer box 1, the melon 3 can be held at a higher position and the melon 3 can be prevented from clinging in the outer box 1. Also, when the melon 3 is placed in the holding recess 29, the melon 3 is elastically held in position by the receiving surface 24 in a state of floating from the bottom wall 11 of the outer box 1, so that there is some vibration during transportation. Also, the melon 3 is elastically held, and the melon 3 can be prevented from being damaged.

Further, in this embodiment, since the groove 28b passing through the same center line as the holding recess 29 is formed in the upper portion of the partition wall 28, the root portion of the vine of the melon 3 has its groove 23a.
Get inside. Therefore, even if the melon 3 shakes during transportation, the root of the vine does not hit the partition material 2, so that it is possible to prevent the fruit around the root of the vine of the melon 3 from being damaged early. In addition, in this embodiment, since the surface of the coated ball used as the surface material of the partition member 2 is smooth and is not easily torn from the cut, it is possible to obtain an effect that the melon 3 is not easily scratched. In addition, the coated balls are hard to get wet with water and can be printed neatly so that they look good.

Next, the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 will be described. FIG. 5 is a development view (plan view of the blank) of the partition member 2 ′, FIG. 6 is a perspective view in which the partition member 2 ′ is folded into the outer box 1, and FIG. It is an enlarged center sectional view of '. In this embodiment, the outer case 1 is the same as that of the first embodiment, and therefore its explanation is omitted, and only the part different from the first embodiment regarding the partition member 2 ′ will be explained. Also, as for the partition member 2 ', the portions denoted by the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment have the same configuration as in the first embodiment, and therefore the description thereof will be omitted.

The blank of the partition member 2'of the present embodiment is formed of corrugated cardboard having the same three-layer structure as the blank of the partition member 2 of the first embodiment and has substantially the same shape as the blank of the first embodiment. The first embodiment is only different in that the first fold 21a has eight folds 2a 'formed at equal intervals to be wide and the overall dimension is longer than that of the blank of the first embodiment. Is different from And these 8 folds 2
By bending all a ′ so as to be convex, the partition member 2 ′ is formed in a shape in which the upper surface 21 ′ of the partition wall 28 is convexly curved upward.
