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 collectively transport or store a plurality of items such as individual small boxes.

Traditionally, when it comes to the number of items to be packed in boxes, customers sometimes request 1 dozen or 2 dozen items, so we manufacture 1-dozen boxes and 2-dozen boxes separately. I had a problem that I had to deal with.

If you sell only 1-dozen boxes, you will have to handle a lot of boxes.If you sell 2-dozen boxes, you can reduce the amount of boxes handled by half, but when selling 1-dozen boxes, you will have to handle a lot of boxes. There was a problem in that it took a lot of time and effort to take out one dozen items from the box and repack them into another one-dozen box.

This invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems by reducing the amount of boxes to be handled by half and eliminating the need to take out items and repack them into another box.

This idea consists of arranging two or more boxes by overlapping the side walls, overlapping the connecting plate of the connecting band on the end wall of the box body so as to straddle this overlapping surface, and inserting slits in the upper and lower edges of each connecting plate. Connect the box bodies lined up by inserting the insertion piece provided inside the top and bottom lid flaps of the box bodies, and also connect the top and bottom slits by cutting off the cutaway part provided on the connecting plate to connect the lined up boxes. To provide a box whose main body can be divided.

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

In the figure, A is a box body in which two or more boxes are arranged with side walls stacked on top of each other.

As shown in FIG. 1, the box body A described above consists of a rectangular tube 1 made of cardboard or other thick paper, inner flaps 2 extending from the upper and lower edges of opposing end walls of the rectangular tube 1,
2, and outer flaps 3, 3 extending from the upper and lower edges of opposing side walls, as shown in Figures 6 to 8.
As shown in the figure, the top and bottom lid flaps 5, 5 and the insert side walls 6, 6 are sequentially provided from the upper and lower edges of the side wall 4, and the lid flaps 5, 5 are provided in sequence from both ends of the side wall 7 and between the lid flaps 5, 5. The end walls 8, 8 and the fixed piece walls 9, 9 are connected in sequence, and the fixed pieces walls 9, 9 are fixed to the inner surfaces of both ends of the side wall 4, and the inner flap 10 continues from the upper edge of the end walls 8, 8. , 10 are folded inside the lid flaps 5, 5, the insert walls 6, 6 are inserted inside the side wall 7, and then the side wall 7 is inserted into the slit 11 at the connecting fold line between the lid wall 5 and the insert wall 6. A type in which a tongue piece 12 extending from the upper and lower edges is inserted to seal the lid, and an insert connected to the lid flaps 5, 5 of the above-mentioned Figures 6 to 8 format as shown in Figures 9 to 11. There is one in which single walls 6, 6 are connected from the upper and lower edges of the side wall 7.

B is a connecting band that connects the overlapping parts of the box bodies A arranged side by side.

The above-mentioned connecting band B is made of cardboard or other thick paper, and includes a connecting plate 13 that circumscribes the end wall so as to straddle the overlapping surfaces, a cutaway part 14 that connects the center between both ends of the upper and lower edges of this connecting band 13, and a connecting plate. A pair of left and right insertion pieces 15 connected at the center of the upper and lower edges of 13,
15.

The gap between the pair of left and right insertion pieces 15, 15 is made as small as possible to prevent the overlapping side walls from spreading.

In addition, although the above-mentioned cut-off portion 14 is formed by two perforations having photographic strips at the upper and lower edges in the illustrated case, it may be formed by cut tape or the like.

Furthermore, a locking portion 16 (in the illustrated case, the tip portions of the insert pieces 15, 15 are folded back and formed by gluing, but separate pieces may be formed by gluing) is provided on the back surface of the tip portions of the insert pieces 15, 15. Also, the engaging portion 1 of the locking portion 16 is provided on the inner flaps 2 and 10.
7 (in the case of the box body A shown in FIG. 1, a notch is provided in the inner flaps 2, 2, and the locking part 16 is fitted and engaged in this notch as shown in FIG. 5,
In the case of the box body A shown in FIGS. 6 and 9, cut outs are made in the inner flaps 10, 10, push down the inside of the cut, and fit the locking part 16 as shown in FIG. By providing the insert piece 15, which is adapted to engage with the
15 can be prevented from coming off.

The box according to this invention has the above-mentioned structure, and the connecting method will be explained next. Two or more box bodies A are arranged by overlapping the side walls.

After that, a connecting band B is attached to the inside of the top and bottom flaps 3, 3 (in the case of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 to 11, the inside of the lid flaps 5, 5) on both sides straddling the overlapping surfaces.
While inserting the insertion pieces 15, 15, the connecting plate 13 is circumscribed on the end wall, and the box bodies A arranged side by side are connected via the connecting band B.

In addition, in order to divide the connected box main body A, the connecting plate 13 may be separated left and right by the separating portion 14.

As described above, according to the box of this invention, after arranging two or more box bodies by overlapping their side walls, a connecting band is inserted inside the top and bottom lid flaps of both box bodies that sandwich the overlapping surfaces. While inserting the piece,
Since the box bodies arranged side by side are connected with the end walls of the box bodies circumscribed by the connecting plates of the connecting band, the amount of the box bodies can be handled as if they were a single box.

In addition, since the box body can be divided by separating the connecting plate using the separating section, it is possible to eliminate the trouble of taking out each item from the box and repacking it in another box, and it is possible to ship everything in the same box. Ok,
If necessary, it can be divided into parts to form the main body of the box.

Furthermore, since the box bodies are connected and integrated by the connecting band, there is no need to use adhesive tape as in the past, and the trouble of having to cut the adhesive tape with a knife when dividing the integrated box body is eliminated. be able to.

Further, the box bodies arranged side by side can be connected by a simple operation of inserting an insert piece into the inside of the top and bottom lid flaps.
