Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a box in which two or more box bodies can be connected side by side in order to transport or store multiple items such as individual small boxes. It is something.

Conventionally, the number of items to be boxed is, for example, one dozen or two dozen, so boxes for one dozen and boxes for two dozen must be manufactured separately.

In addition, the 1-dozen box had the disadvantage of requiring a large amount of boxes to be handled.

Furthermore, when it comes to 2-dozen boxes, the amount of boxes handled can be halved, but when selling 1-dozen items, the 1-dozen items must be removed from the box and repacked into another 1-dozen box. Therefore, there was a drawback that it required a lot of work.

Therefore, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-58137 is proposed as a packaging form that reduces the amount of boxes to be handled by half and eliminates the need to take out items and repack them into another box.

In this known packaging form, a top and bottom connecting flat plate of a predetermined length is provided that spans a plurality of paralleled cardboard boxes, and between one opening/closing lid facing each other and the opening/closing lid of the other facing cardboard box. A connecting flat plate is interposed between the connecting plates, and the connecting flat plate and the cardboard box are connected to each other with a locking member such as a staple or tape to connect multiple cardboard boxes into one, so the top and bottom parts are This resulted in a three-layered structure, which caused the problem of a dramatic increase in the cost of materials required for interlocking packaging.

In addition, the perforations provided on the connecting flat plate at the boundary between multiple cardboard boxes, the cut-off part using cut tape, etc. are located at a lower level than the outer opening/closing lid, and the outer side opposite to the cut-off part is sandwiched between the cut-off parts. Since there is no gap between the edges of the opening and closing lid, there was a problem with cut tape in that it was not possible to cut the edge of the tape and tear it.

Furthermore, since the connecting plate is inserted during the sealing process, there was a problem in that existing box making machines could not be used.

This idea has a double wall structure in the overlapping part,
Moreover, the purpose is to make the separation work easier and to solve the above-mentioned problem.

This invention provides a gap of a predetermined width between opposing edges of opposing outer flaps of a box body made of cardboard or other thick paper, and has a width that fits between the opposing edges of the outer flaps, and two or more flaps. A connecting plate with a length that overlaps the entire length of two or more box bodies arranged side by side is provided, the connecting plate is fitted between the opposing edges of the outer flaps, and the connecting plate is fixed to the inner flap of the box body. To provide a box in which a dividing/separating part is provided on a connecting plate located at a boundary between the boxes, and connected box bodies can be divided by separating the separating part.

Hereinafter, embodiments of this invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

In the figure, A is a box body made of cardboard or other thick paper, and a gap of a predetermined width is formed between the opposing edges of opposing outer flaps 1, 1 of this box body A.

B is a connecting plate that connects two or more box bodies A arranged side by side.

The above-mentioned connecting plate B is made of thick paper such as corrugated cardboard, has a width to be fitted so that the side edges butt against the opposing edges of the outer flaps 1, 1, and has two or two pieces.
It has a length equivalent to the total length of the box body A in which more than one box body A is arranged.

Further, a separation portion 2 for division is provided on the connecting plate B at the boundary between the lined box bodies A.

The above-mentioned separation portion 2 is formed by one or two perforations connecting both side edges of the connecting plate B, having a photographic strip, tape, thread, etc. attached to the back side.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the box body A is made by folding in the opposing inner flaps 3, 3, abutting the opposing edges of the inner flaps 3, 3, and then folding the inner flaps 3, 3 together. Fold the outer flaps 1 and 1 so that they overlap and seal them with adhesive or staples.
In the case where two or more flaps are lined up and connected by the connecting plate B, and as shown in FIGS. There are cases in which two or more flaps in which the overlapping surfaces of the flap 3 and the outer flap 1 are fixed with adhesive or staples are connected by the connecting plate 2 at the same time as they are sealed.

In the case shown in the figure, inner flaps 3, 3 and outer flaps 1, 1 of the same condition are provided on the upper and lower edges of the rectangular tube 4, and the top and bottom are connected by a connecting plate B (in the case of FIG. However, either one of the top and bottom of the lined up box bodies A may be connected by the connecting plate B, and the remaining one may be connected using adhesive or tape.

Further, the connecting portions are not necessarily connected at the top and bottom, but may connect both sides depending on the form of the box.

As described above, according to the box according to this invention, after arranging two or more box bodies by overlapping the side walls, and then stacking them on the inner flap while inserting the connecting plate between the outer flaps, Since the connecting plate is fixed to the inner flap, the box bodies arranged side by side can be connected via the connecting plate.

Therefore, the handling amount of the box body can be handled as if it were one box.

In addition, the connecting plate can be separated and the lined box bodies can be easily divided using the separating part.
This eliminates the need to take out each item from a box and repack it in another box, and all can be shipped in the same box and divided into boxes as needed.

Furthermore, since the connecting plate is fitted between the outer flaps and overlapped with the inner flap, the overlapping portion becomes a double structure, and the material cost required for connecting packaging is significantly reduced.

Furthermore, since there is no step between the outer flap and the connecting plate, the box body can be slid during loading and unloading.

Furthermore, since the boxes can be connected after being sealed, an existing box-making machine can be used.
