DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a packaging device having, for example, a partition which vertically overlaps and which is arranged in parallel, for example, partitions between upper and lower lighting fixtures and adjacent lighting fixtures.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional packaging apparatus will be described with reference to FIG.

[0003] In this type of packaging apparatus, both ends of, for example, four luminaires 5 which are superimposed on each other and arranged in parallel are individually packaged using end cushions 10, 10.

The end cushion 10 is formed by bending a substantially rectangular shape using, for example, a corrugated board, which is a single rectangular packaging board.
2. The bottom 11, the side 12, the top 13, and the flap 14 are continuously formed in the width direction.

A rectangular anti-vibration plate A16 is glued along the inner front end of the bottom surface portion 11, and
A rectangular anti-vibration plate C18 is glued along the inner front end of the upper surface 13. L-shaped angles 19, 19 are glued to the inner surfaces of both side portions 12, 12 along the front end side, and a rectangular anti-shake plate B 17 faces the back side of the L-shaped angle 19. It is glued.

[0006] 4 which is wound around and protected by the end buffer 10
A partition plate A6 made of a rectangular packaging plate, for example, a cardboard plate is inserted between the upper and lower portions of the lighting fixtures. Further, a rectangular packaging plate, for example, a partition plate B7 made of a corrugated cardboard is inserted between adjacent lighting devices 5 from above and below with the partition plate A6 interposed therebetween.

The procedure for assembling the packaging device will be described.

First, both side portions 12,
12 is formed in a substantially U-shape by bending upward along folding curves 15 and 15.

Next, the partition plate A6 and the partition plates B7, B7
Is moved downward, and the side surface of the lighting fixture 5 is moved between the damping plates B17 and B17 and the L-shaped angle 1
Insert so that it contacts 9 and 19.

Then, the upper surface portion 13 and the flap portion 1
4 is bent toward the near side along the folding curve 15, and the end of the flap portion 14 and the bottom surface portion 11 are attached and fixed with a tape (not shown).

Note that the anti-shake plate B17 prevents the lighting fixture from oscillating in the width direction, and the anti-shake plate A16 and the anti-shake plate C18 prevent the lighting fixture from coming off in the longitudinal direction.
Further, the L-shaped angle 19 is a set of packaging devices,
It supports a load from above when lighting appliances are stacked in a plurality of stages.

Further, a partition plate A6 and partition plates B7, 7
Is for preventing the lighting fixtures from coming into contact with each other and preventing the lighting fixtures from being damaged.

[0013]

The above-mentioned partition plate A and partition plate B prevent the lighting fixtures from coming into contact with each other to prevent the lighting fixtures from being damaged. As shown in FIG. The partition plate A and the partition plate B are each composed of independent parts, and the partition plate A is inserted between the upper lighting fixture and the lower lighting fixture, and the partition is provided between adjacent lighting fixtures. The partition plates B7, 7 are separately inserted from above and below the plate A.

For this reason, there is a problem that it takes time and effort to mount the partition plate A6 and the partition plate B7 between the luminaires, and the cost is increased due to the large number of parts.

[0015] Further, since the partition plate B7 is simply mounted between the adjacent lighting fixtures, it may move due to vibration or the like generated during transportation. In particular, during transportation, for example, when an automobile as a transport means is fitted into a depression or the like and moves largely up, down, left, or right, the partition plate B7 comes off from adjacent lighting fixtures, and further, the partition plate A6 becomes large in the longitudinal direction. There is a quality problem that the lighting fixtures move and come into direct contact with each other, causing damage to the lighting fixtures.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and has as its object to provide a packaging device which is inexpensive, easy to install, and does not damage a package.

[0017]

In order to achieve the above object, a packaging apparatus according to the present invention is provided in a packaging apparatus for packaging objects to be laid one above another and arranged in parallel. A partition plate A interposed between the object and the packaged object disposed below, and a partition plate B interposed between the adjacent packaged items, and the partition plate A and the partition plate B are provided. The partition plate B is formed from one sheet of packaging material, and the partition plate B is cut into the partition plate A leaving a connecting portion to be connected, and the partition plate B is substantially formed with the connecting portion as a fulcrum with respect to the partition plate A. It is characterized in that it has a partition body which is formed in a substantially cross shape by being rotated vertically.

In the above configuration, the partition plate A and the partition plate B
The partition plate B is rotated substantially vertically with the connecting portion joined as a fulcrum to form a partition in a substantially cross shape, and the partition B of the partition is inserted between the lighting fixtures arranged in parallel on the lower side, The assembly of the partition body into the lighting fixture is completed only by placing the lighting fixtures on the partitioning board A divided into right and left by the partition board B. For this reason, the assembling of the partition body into the lighting fixture is simplified.

Further, since the partition plate A and the partition plate B are connected at the connecting portion, even if the lighting fixture vibrates during transportation and the gap between the adjacent lighting fixtures is widened, the partition plate A can be used for lighting up and down. Since the partition plate B is sandwiched between the lighting devices, it does not move between the adjacent lighting devices. On the other hand, even if a gap is generated between the upper and lower lighting devices due to a large vertical swing, the partition plate B disturbs and the partition plate A does not move between the upper and lower lighting devices. The partition plate A is always held in a fixed place by the load of the upper lighting fixture.

Therefore, the partition plate A of the partition body does not largely move and the upper and lower lighting devices do not directly contact each other. Further, since the partition plate B is connected to the partition plate A at the connecting portion, the partition plate B does not come off from the partition plate A, so that adjacent lighting fixtures do not directly contact each other. Therefore, the lighting fixtures are not hit, and the lighting fixtures are not damaged.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. Note that the same components as in the prior art will be described with the same reference numerals.

The end buffer 10 shown in FIG. 3 has the same structure as that of the prior art, and protects both ends of a packaged lighting device, for example, a set of four lighting devices at the top, bottom, left and right. The buffer member 10 is made of a single packaging plate and has a bending line 1
The side part 12, the bottom part 11, the side part 12, the top part 13, and the flap part 14 are continuously formed in the width direction through the intervening part 5, and are formed into a substantially rectangular shape by bending these along the bending line 15. Things.

Further, the bottom portion 1 of the end buffer 10
1. The side portions 12, 12, and the upper surface portion 13 are provided with a vibration-preventing plate A16, a vibration-preventing plate C18, and a vibration-preventing plate made of a rectangular packaging plate for preventing the lighting fixture 5 from oscillating in the width direction and moving in the longitudinal direction. The plates B17, 17 are attached and fixed. Further, L-shaped angles 19, 19 are adhered and fixed to the side surfaces 12, 12, respectively, to prevent deformation due to a load from above.

Reference numeral 30 denotes a partition body according to the present invention, which is made of a single rectangular packaging plate material for preventing a vertical and horizontal contact of a set of four luminaires arranged vertically and horizontally. As shown in FIG. 2, the body 30 is provided with a cutout 34 in a substantially rectangular shape inside a rectangular packaging plate material, a partition plate B32 inside the cutout 34, a partition plate A31 outside, and a partition plate A31.
The connecting portion 33 is provided in a part of the cut 34 so that the partition plate B32 and the partition plate B32 do not separate from each other.

When using the partition body 30, as shown in FIG. 1, the partition plate B32 is pushed in the direction of the arrow with the connecting portion 33 as a fulcrum, and rotated until the partition plate B32 becomes substantially perpendicular to the partition plate A31. The plate B32 is rotated, and the partition plate B32
Of the remaining partition plate B32 is erected upward from the partition plate A31, and the lower half of the remaining partition plate B32 is formed to protrude below the partition plate A31 to form a substantially cross-shaped partition body 30.

Next, a procedure for assembling the partition body into a lighting fixture will be described.

As shown in FIG. 1, a partition plate B32 of a partition 30 formed in a substantially cross shape is inserted between two adjacent luminaires arranged in parallel in the longitudinal direction. Then, the lighting fixtures are respectively placed on the partition plates A31 divided into right and left by the partition plate B32, and the assembly of the partition body into the lighting fixtures is completed.

Then, the assembling of the packaging device is completed by wrapping the end cushions 10 around the both ends of the lighting fixture in the same manner as in the prior art.

When storing and transporting the luminaires packaged in a set of four units, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, the luminaires are stacked in a plurality of parallel stages on a rectangular pallet 25 and formed vertically. Abutment plates 26 each having a substantially L-shaped cross section are applied to the four corners, and a plurality of bands (not shown) are applied in the width direction so that these abutment plates 26 do not move. In this state, it is moved to the storage destination / transportation destination.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described.

In the above arrangement, a connecting portion is provided for connecting a partition plate A sandwiched between vertically arranged lighting fixtures and a partition plate B sandwiched between adjacent lighting fixtures, and the partition plate B is provided with the connecting portion serving as a fulcrum. Was provided so that the partition member formed in a substantially cross shape was formed from a single packaging plate material, so that the partition member was erected substantially vertically between the lighting fixtures arranged in parallel on the lower side. Insert the partition B, and insert the partition B
The assembly of the partition body into the lighting fixture is completed only by placing the lighting fixture on the partition plate A divided into left and right by the above. This simplifies assembly.

Further, since the partition plate A and the partition plate B are connected at the connecting portion, vibration during transportation and large vertical and horizontal swings act on the lighting equipment, and the gap between the adjacent lighting equipment is expanded. Also, the partition plate B does not move between the lighting devices by the partition plate A. On the other hand, even when a large swing occurs in the vertical and horizontal directions, and a gap occurs between the upper and lower lighting devices, the partition plate B hinders and the partition plate A hardly moves between the lighting devices. Normally, the partition plate A is kept in a fixed place by the load of the upper lighting fixture.

Therefore, the lighting fixtures do not come into direct contact with each other and are not damaged.

[0034]

As described above in detail, the partition plate A and the partition plate B are connected at the connecting portion, and one partition body which is set up by rotating the partition plate B substantially vertically about the connecting portion as a fulcrum. The partition plate B does not move between the adjacent lighting fixtures and does not come off from the partition plate A due to vibrations generated during transportation, large vertical and horizontal swings, and the like. Further, the partition plate A inserted between the upper and lower lighting devices is hardly moved between the upper and lower lighting devices because the partition plate B interferes with the partition plate B. For this reason, the lighting fixtures do not come into contact with each other and do not get damaged.

Further, assembling is simplified, and the number of parts is reduced from three to one, so that the cost of parts and the number of assembling steps can be reduced.
