Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a packaging device for large products such as washing machines.

When displaying a large product such as a washing machine at a retail store, it is customary to unpack and remove all packaging materials.

For this reason, retailers are burdened with unpacking and repacking, and there are constant troubles such as the main unit being damaged or discolored during display, which is a major cause of returns to the manufacturer.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and examples thereof will be described below.

In the figure, 1 is the main body of the washing machine, 2 is the switch operation section, and 3 is the main body of the washing machine.
is the lid.

The bottom of the main body 1 is placed on and held by a lower cushioning body 4 made of foamed polystyrene or the like, and this lower cushioning body 4 is attached and fixed to a bottom box 5 made of cardboard or the like.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a sleeve-shaped exterior case made of cardboard or the like, which covers the main body 1 and whose lower opening edge side is inserted into the outer periphery of the bottom box 5, and whose front upper part is bent downward to form an opening 6a.
and a hand hole 6 formed below the opening 6a.
b matches the hand hole 6d drilled in the bent portion 6C, forming a double configuration.

A pair of upper shock absorbers 7 made of styrofoam or the like are inserted through the open top surface 6e of the exterior case 6, and buffer and fix both ends of the upper part of the main body 1 from the left and right sides, and a groove is formed in the center of the upper shock absorbers 7. 7a is formed.

Further, the open top surface 6e of the exterior case 6 is covered with a transparent flat plate 8 made of resin or the like, and a recess 8a formed by making the central part of the flat plate 8 into a substantially U-shaped cross section is provided with the upper buffer. It is inserted into the groove 7a of the body 7 to hold and fix the flat plate 8 and the upper cushioning body 7, and at the same time, the heat-shrinkable film 9 is shrunk to cover all the above-mentioned packaging structures, and the whole is tightly bound.

As described above, according to the present invention, the upper surface of the opening of the sleeve-shaped exterior case is covered with a transparent flat plate molded from resin or the like, and
Since the top of the front of the exterior case is open, by covering the entire surface with a transparent heat-shrinkable film, the entire top of the washing machine is exposed through the film, making it possible to display it in the store while still wrapped. , dust and dirt can be easily wiped away, and the product's beauty can be maintained at all times, increasing the product value and product image.

In addition, since the outer case is sleeve-shaped, the material cost is lower than that of conventional outer cases, and the top is open, making work easier and allowing the addition of a transparent top plate. A packaging device that is cheaper than conventional cardboard packaging can be provided.

Furthermore, by bending the upper part of the front of the outer case downward and drilling a hand hole in the double portion of the front of the outer case, it becomes a double structure, so there is no need for hand hole reinforcing materials as in the past, and the cost is low. It is possible to provide packaging equipment that is
