Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a package for an annular fluorescent lamp.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a package for an annular fluorescent lamp device is known in which a flat rectangular parallelepiped case containing an annular fluorescent lamp is housed in an outer box together with the device.

In the case of a two-light lamp, the case is housed inside the outer box so as to be stacked in two layers on the outside of the appliance.

That is, in this type of package for an annular fluorescent lamp device, as shown in FIG.
A stand 3 with legs is placed on the inner bottom surface of the case, and a stand 3 with legs is placed on the upper case.
4, a cylindrical buffer body 35 is provided so as to pass through the hole formed in the center of the stand 34 and the case 32, and the hat 24 is placed on the stand 34 and placed inside the outer box body 33. It is stored.

Then, the ballast part 36 to which the annular fluorescent lamp support fitting 31 is attached is placed on the upper open end surface of the buffer body 35, and another cylindrical buffer body 37 is inserted inside the support metal fitting 31. A movement blocking member 26 for preventing movement of the buffer body 37 is provided on the outer periphery of the upper open end of the buffer body.

However, in a package for such a two-lamp annular fluorescent lamp device, there are two cases 3 containing annular fluorescent lamps 10.
2 are stacked in two layers and provided on the outside of the shade 24, the height of the outer box body 33 becomes high, and along with this, the material cost, warehousing cost, transportation cost, etc. of the outer box body 33 increase. There was once a time.

The present invention was developed in view of these circumstances, and can significantly reduce the cost of materials, etc., compared to conventional methods, is easy to store, and does not require any changes to conventional packaging operations. In other words, the present invention provides a packaging body for an annular fluorescent lamp device that can be used without any modification, and in other words, can use conventional packaging equipment as is.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a developed view of an example of a case for an annular fluorescent lamp according to the present invention. part 3, side parts 4 and 5 connected to the upper part 1, side parts 6 to 7 connected to the lower part 2, and a lid body 8 further connected to the lower part 2, and its assembly is as follows. This is carried out in the usual manner using an automated packaging machine, and as shown in FIG. 2, a flat rectangular parallelepiped case 9 is formed, in which an annular fluorescent lamp 10 is housed.

The characteristics of this case are as shown in FIG.
14, cuts 15 to 18 are provided at four locations, through which the corners can be cut off from the case, respectively.

In the developed view shown in FIG. 1, the cuts 15 are a combination of cuts 151 and 152, and the cuts 16 are a combination of cuts 161 and 16°.

Further, in this case, a regular hexagonal hole 34 is formed in the center of the upper surface portion 1.

Further, a regular hexagonal hole 19 smaller than the hole 34 is formed in the lower surface portion 2, and cuts 20 are formed radially from each vertex.

The size of the regular hexagon formed by connecting the folds 21 is the same as the size of the regular hexagon of the hole 34.

In the case with the above configuration, when the corners 11 to 14 are left without cutting the cuts 15 to 18, the case 9 can be used as a rectangular parallelepiped.

On the other hand, from the rectangular parallelepiped case 9 shown in FIG.
When corners 11-14 are cut by cutting 18,
As shown in FIG. 3, a flat octagonal column-shaped case 22 is obtained.

In addition, as shown in FIG.
Three annular fluorescent lamp supports 31 at equal intervals of 20 degrees
are integrated, and the normal state of this support metal fitting 31 extends straight upward, similar to the state shown in FIG.

Further, on one surface of the stabilizer portion 25, three locking protrusions 26 made of hook-shaped cut-and-raised portions are formed at equal intervals of 120 degrees.

The shade 24 of the appliance has the same shape and structure as the conventional one,
Openings are provided at the top and bottom, and both openings are circular.

If the corners 11 to 14 of the case 22 are cut off, it can be easily stored inside the cap 24 of the instrument through its circular lower opening 32, as shown in FIG. As shown in Figure 4, there are two cases 2 inside the shade 24.
2 can be completely stored.

Then, place the stabilizer section 25 on the upper case 22,
When the locking metal fittings 31 are bent and the tips of the locking metal fittings 31 are hooked onto the locking protrusions 26 of the stabilizer portion 25 to lock them, the locking metal fittings 31 will not protrude from the shade 24, It can be completely stored inside the shade 24.

Therefore, these shade 24, case 22 and stabilizer part 2
5 in the outer box 23, the outer box 23 can be small, and its height h has been significantly reduced to about 200 mm.

As a result, the material cost, warehouse storage cost, transportation cost, etc. of the outer box 23 can be significantly reduced.

In addition, in FIG. 4, 27 is a buffer provided at the lower part of the outer box 23, 28 is a buffer that protects the corner of the shade 24, and 29 is a buffer provided at the bottom of the outer box 23.
30 is a cylindrical buffer that passes through a hole provided in the center of the buffer 27, a regular hexagonal hole 34 of the case 22, and a regular hexagonal hole formed by connecting the cuts 21; 30 is a buffer 26;
It is a cylindrical buffer that passes through a hole provided in the center of the cylindrical buffer body, and a notch is provided in the portion where the locking metal fitting 31 is located.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, in a conventional example in which a flat rectangular parallelepiped annular fluorescent lamp case 32 is stacked in two layers on the outside of the shade 24 and housed in the outer box body 23, the outer box body 33
The height h was about 28c1rl, which is about 8crn higher than that of the present invention, and therefore the cost of materials for the outer box was high.

Further, according to the embodiment of the present invention, there is no need to manufacture two types of cases, and only one type is required, so that the case can be easily stored.

Furthermore, by making cuts in a conventional case and cutting the four corners from the cuts, an octagonal prism-shaped case can be easily obtained, so there is no need to make any changes to the packaging process for circular fluorescent lamps. , it is also possible to use existing packaging equipment as is.

As explained above, the package for the annular fluorescent lamp device of the present invention is a flat octagonal case formed by cutting out the four corners of a flat rectangular parallelepiped case as a case for storing the annular fluorescent lamp. A columnar case is used, and these are stacked in two stages and placed in equal directions, and a stabilizer part having a locking protrusion on one side is placed on the top surface of the case so as to be positioned in the same direction. A structure in which the tip of the annular fluorescent lamp support fitting provided integrally with the vessel part is locked to a locking protrusion, and the hat, case, and ballast part with the locking metal fitting are housed in the outer box body. Because of this, the thickness of the outer box can be made significantly thinner than conventional ones, which significantly reduces material costs, warehousing costs, transportation costs, etc. for the outer box. be able to.
