Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a packaging structure for a lighting equipment for an annular fluorescent lamp in which the main body and shade of the lighting equipment are separated and housed in a single packaging box. .

In general, this type of packaging structure is such that, for example, a lighting fixture is separated into a fixture body and a shade and stored in a packaging box, and many fixing and protective spacers are interposed to prevent each part from moving accidentally during transportation. It is made up of things.

FIGS. 1 and 2 are drawings showing this type of conventional packaging structure, in which the main body, the packaging box 1, is formed with an openable and closable upper lid 2 with an opening on the top surface, and an opening on the bottom surface. A flat bottom lid 3 is made by butting together two flaps to close the bottom lid, and the other pair of flaps, which are longer than this flap, are folded downward at their tips, and the bent pieces 4a, 4a are formed.
It is formed of a chevron-shaped bottom cover 4 which stands up on a flat bottom cover 3 so as to face each other in abutting manner. The chevron-shaped bottom cover 4 has a fitting hole 6 formed in the center of the ridge lines 5, 5 of the butt-folded pieces 4a, 4a, and is large enough to fit the main body of the device. Further, the flat bottom lid 3 is formed with protruding pieces 3a, 3a bent in an upright shape, and the protruding pieces 3a, 3a are
A slit 7 is formed in the chevron-shaped bottom cover 4 so that the palms are pressed together and the slits 7 protrude from the lower side of the chevron-shaped bottom cover 4 onto the inclined surface. The height of the protrusions 3a, 3a is set to be the same as the height of the ridge line 5 of the mountain-shaped bottom cover 4.

Conventional storage and packaging of lighting equipment using the packaging box 1 described above was as follows.

As shown in FIG. 1, the disassembled luminaire main body 8 is fitted into the fitting hole 6 of the chevron-shaped bottom cover 4 assembled on the flat bottom cover 3 as described above, and the main body flange 8a is inserted into the projection piece 3a, A cylindrical spacer 10 is fitted onto the two annular fluorescent lamps 9, 9' to circumscribe them, and then a shade 11 is placed on the cylindrical spacer 10. are fitted, and the flange of the lower opening 12 is placed on the protruding piece 3a and the ridge line 5. Furthermore, an annular fluorescent lamp 9,
A triangular cylindrical spacer 13 whose apex portion 13a is in contact with the inner circumferential surface of the ring-shaped fluorescent lamp 9, 9' is placed on the device main body 1 within the annular fluorescent lamp 9, 9'.
9' from the inside, and store the cords, mounting members, etc. coming out of the device main body 1 in this cylinder, and also tightly fit triangular cylindrical spacers 14 into each of the four corners of the packaging box 1, and press them. Yotsute Sade 11
is fixed. As described above, in the past, the cylindrical spacer 1 circumscribing the annular fluorescent lamps 9, 9'
0. The disassembled and stored lighting equipment is protected and held fixed by six spacers, including the triangular spacer 13 inscribed in the lamps 9 and 9' and the four triangular cylindrical spacers 14 that fit tightly into the corners of the box. Was. As shown in the figure, in addition to two annular fluorescent lamps of the same diameter, lighting fixtures with annular fluorescent lamps of different sizes were packaged in the same way.

Therefore, the conventional packaging structure is at least 6
This requires many spacers, which increases the cost of the paper board material.Furthermore, packaging using many spacers requires a large number of packaging steps, is time-consuming, and has poor workability. Furthermore, in conventional packaging, the annular fluorescent lamp is held by abutting and holding the apex corner of the triangular cylindrical spacer inside the lamp, so the holding force is weak.
For this reason, during transportation, etc., the annular fluorescent lamp is likely to come off the lamp holder or become loose, resulting in damage.

The purpose of this invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and to provide a packaging structure that saves spacers, holds annular fluorescent lamps stably and safely, requires fewer packaging steps, and can be automated. It is something to do.

An example of the configuration of this invention shown in the drawings will be described below.

As shown in FIG. 3, the packaging box 1 includes a top lid 2 that can be opened and closed as in the conventional case, and a fitting hole 6 that holds the instrument body 8.
The chevron-shaped bottom cover 4 and the protrusions 3a, 3 that form a
A flat bottom lid 3 is formed. When packaging with this packaging box 1, a spacer 15 shown in FIG. 4 is used. As shown in the figure, the spacer 15 is a square paper board whose length on one side is the inner diameter of the packaging box 1. A plurality of cut and raised pieces 16 are cut radially in the center of the spacer 15. A fitting hole 17 is formed after the holder is erected. The outer diameter of the fitting hole 17 is set to be approximately the same as the inner diameter of the lower opening 12 of the shade 11. Further, as another spacer, a triangular cylindrical spacer 13 similar to the conventional one is used. That is, as shown in FIG.
It comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface of 9' to hold it, and also stores the cord etc. coming out from the instrument main body in this cylinder.

As a result, the lighting equipment is stored as follows. As shown in FIG. 3, as in the conventional case, the main body 8 of the device is inserted into the central fitting hole 8 of the chevron-shaped bottom cover 4 and the protrusion 3 of the flat bottom cover 3 with the two annular fluorescent lamps 9 and 9' facing upward.
a, 3a, and a triangular cylindrical spacer 1 that holds the annular fluorescent lamps 9, 9' from inside.
After storing the attached parts of the instrument main body 1 in the spacer 3, the spacer 15 provided with the cut-and-raised piece 16 is fitted onto the chevron-shaped bottom cover 4. That is, the circular portion formed by the plurality of cut and raised pieces 16 of the spacer 15 is applied to the annular fluorescent lamp 9, and the spacer 15 is pushed in. As a result, the plurality of cut and raised pieces 16 come into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the annular fluorescent lamp 9, and each piece separates from the closed state and is pushed downward in a sequentially rising shape, and finally the periphery of the spacer is moved into the packaging box 1. In contact with the side wall, the paper board body is placed on the protruding piece 3a and the ridge line 5 and stands up. Each cut and raised piece 1
6 has an inward repulsive force since it is raised from the closed state, and as a result, each cut-and-raised piece 16 stands substantially upright and elastically presses against the annular fluorescent lamp 9, 9'. Next, the shade 11 is fitted with the lower opening 12 facing downward, surrounding the annular fluorescent lamps 9, 9' and the cut and raised pieces 16 pressed thereto, and placed on the paper board main body 15a of the spacer 15. . The inner diameter of the lower opening 12 of the shade 11 is approximately the same as the fitting hole 17 of the spacer 15, so when the shade 11 is finished fitting, the edge of the lower opening 12 is raised so that each of the cut and raised pieces 16 Crimp it to the base. Therefore, the press-fitting of each cut-and-raised piece 16 to the annular fluorescent lamps 9, 9' is assisted, and the fixation of the shade 11 itself is ensured. Finally, the upper lid 2 is closed to complete the packaging of the lighting fixture.

Although the two annular fluorescent lamps of the lighting fixture in the above embodiment have the same diameter, even in the case of a lighting fixture equipped with two types of annular fluorescent lamps of different diameters, the above-mentioned cutout Spacers with strips can be used as well. In this case, the two upper and lower annular fluorescent lamps held by the lamp holder are held by a plurality of cut and raised pieces pressed together along the outer periphery of the large and small diameters.

What is shown in FIG. 5 is another example of a spacer provided with cut and raised pieces. As shown in the drawing, this spacer 15' is an irregular octagonal paper board with four corners removed from a square paper board whose length A on one side is the inner diameter of the packaging box 1. 2
0' and 20' are the same length, and the inner diameter dimension of the packaging box 1, that is, the spacer 15'
be longer than the length A of one side of the square. The spacer 15' in this case can also be applied to a packaging box 1a that is larger than the packaging box 1.

As explained above, according to this invention, the cut and raised pieces of the spacer are pushed out in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the annular fluorescent lamp and stand up with an inward repulsive force, so that An elastic pressure force is applied by the cut and raised piece, and the raised base of the cut and raised piece is held by the edge of the lower opening of the shade, so the annular fluorescent lamp is secured by this cut and raised piece. The shade is fixedly held in the lamp holder and will not accidentally come off from the lamp holder even in the event of an external impact, preventing damage.In addition, the shade can be fixed in both the lateral and vertical directions by fixing the lower opening edge and the base of the cut-and-raised piece. movement is prevented and the product is stored stably without damage.

In addition, since a single spacer formed with a cut and raised piece can substitute for a conventional cylindrical spacer and four triangular cylindrical spacers, the cost of paperboard material can be greatly reduced.
In addition, since the packaging work only requires pushing the spacer into the box, the number of packaging steps is reduced compared to the conventional packaging process, improving work efficiency and making it possible to automate packaging. Furthermore, the spacer can be easily made into a size and shape that can be used for both large and small packaging boxes, so it can be used conveniently.
