Method for packing two or more different shapes and mat for packing

The present invention relates to a method for packaging articles having two or more articles having different shapes and materials, and a packing mat for use in the method.

When transporting articles, in order to effectively protect the articles from being hit or vibrated during transportation, they are usually bundled with cushioning paper or plastic sheets, bubble cushioning materials, and loaded into the outer box as needed. . Similarly, when two or more identical articles are transported, each of the articles is individually wrapped in a wrapper or a cushioning material, and is housed in the outer casing, and, if necessary, the articles are not inserted into the tampon. bale.

When two or more items having different shapes or weights, sizes, and materials are bundled together, the method of packing is basically the same. For an item, there are cases where a combination of two or more items constitutes a system. For example, a desktop personal computer, in addition to a personal computer body, a keyboard, a display, and a printer, is usually used to construct a network data machine and a mouse as an external input device (in this case). As a machine, it is combined to form a system.

In order to relocate a desktop personal computer that is used in combination as a system, when it is necessary to transport to another location, first, it must be connected from the personal computer main body, keyboard, display, and printer. The wiring cables between the machines are removed, and each of the machines is individually bundled and transported until the relocation site, and the relocation site is unpacked, and the respective machines are again arranged in the original configuration, and the wiring between the machines is repeated. .

Recently, due to the trouble of the wiring work, or the unfamiliarity of the beginners, once the connection method of the removed wiring cable is not clear, it is not clear to the carrier: The whole set of computers, that is, the wiring cable between the respective connected machines of the personal computer main body, the keyboard, the display, and the printer, is removed in the same manner as the current situation.

In the case of shipping companies, various reviews have been conducted in response to such requests. The problem is that the size, height, and shape of the personal computer main body, the keyboard, the display, and the printer are various, even if the serial cable is stored in one outer casing without removing the distribution cable. It is effective to protect against the possibility of impact or vibration during transportation, and it is difficult to fix such machines in the box without moving.

However, if only two or more items (machines) in the relationship between the product and its parts are fixed and bundled in one box, it is not necessarily unusual to carry out the past. For example, notebook personal computers, batteries, drive discs, cables, and operating instructions are usually packaged in a box without being moved.

Further, Patent Document 1 describes a package in which a digital camera and a battery charger are not interfered with each other and can be housed together in one package. According to the package described in Patent Document 1, it is emphasized that the digital camera and the battery charger can be prevented from being impacted from the outside during transportation.

However, in this package, in general, the outer casing is divided into two storage portions by a dedicated spacer, and the articles are individually housed in the respective regions, and a buffer portion in which air is injected different from the storage portion is additionally provided. It is prevented from being hit from the outside during transportation, and the article is not fixed at a fixed position to be bundled. Moreover, no matter whether it is a certain specification or a non-standard specification, not two or more articles are connected to each other and can be freely packaged.

In addition, in the patent document 2 which is one of the proposals for packaging the article in the case, it is described by the first package and the second package. The combination of the packing boxes can change the packing device of the combination of the inner product packing box and the mating body disposed in the respective first and second packing boxes.

Here, the compound body is composed of a bag body having a deaeration port, and a combination of a plurality of granular bodies which are filled in the bag body and which are in a state of being adhered to each other in a state in which they are brought into close contact with each other. According to the packing device, the packaged object, for example, a can, is inserted between the first bundle and the second bundle, and the two bundles are relatively close to each other to reduce the internal volume to support the pot. The cans are brought closer together to deaerate the air in the bag body, so that the mating body is solidified along the surface of the bottom of the pot and the mouth, and the pot can be fixed in the packing box to be bundled.

The proposal utilizes: by the air in the degassing bag, the granular bodies filled in the interior are closely adhered to each other, and the compound body is solidified along the shape of the pot and the like, and the result is that the pot can It is fixed in the packaging box, and only a part of the storage article is supported by the fitting body, and the article is stored and fixed to the fixing position by pressing the first packing box to the second packing box. However, according to this proposal, the inner volume of the packing box is determined depending on the height of the stored items, so that it is not possible to use the packing of two or more items having different heights.

[Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2008-74451

[Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-163361

The problem to be solved is a packaging material that can be freely packaged without any two or more articles connected to each other regardless of a certain specification or a non-specific specification.

In the present invention, the most important feature is that by the air in the degassing bag, the granular bodies filled in the interior are closely adhered to each other, and the whole body of the bag is solidified, and is processed to be tightly sealed by filling the beads. A bag-shaped cushion, and in a state in which the article is wrapped around the mat, the mat is solidified by degassing the mat, so that two or more articles wrapped in the mat are stably held.

According to the mat for packing of the present invention, not only two or more articles can be bundled at a time, but also the articles to be bundled can be deformed by the mat due to degasing the mat and the beads in the mat. The close-packing of the granules is stably held in a fixed position and packed. In particular, two or more articles may be bundled regardless of the shape, size, height, and material of the article, and may be bundled in a state in which two or more articles are connected to each other. The mat for packaging according to the present invention is integrally cured by bundling two or more articles, so that it can be transported as such, but when it is necessary to be a product of a certain specification, a small amount of stuffing can be stored in the outer box. To carry.

In particular, according to the present invention, it is not necessary to remove the distribution cable connected between the personal computer main body, the keyboard, the display, the printer, etc., from among the machines at the time of relocation, and the wiring cable can be installed in the machine. The whole batch is packed and transported, and after the relocation, the mats can be re-bundled as soon as the mats are unpacked and the machines are taken out from the mats, and the machines are arranged on the table in the original arrangement and connected to the power source. Personal computer operation.

[Embodiment of the Invention]

By using a bag-like mat that is tightly sealed by filling the beads, it is intended to bundle two or more articles of a combination of two or more machines as a set of personal computers.

[Example 1]

Figs. 1(a) to 1(c) are views showing an embodiment of the packing mat of the present invention. In the first embodiment, the mat 1 is formed by laminating two layers of the flexible outer layer sheet 2 and the inner sheet 3, respectively, and filling a plurality of beads 4 between the two sheets 2 and 3. The peripheral edges 7 of the two sheets 2, 3 are hermetically sealed in a fixed width, and a check valve 5 is attached to one of the sheet faces of the outer sheet 2.

In this embodiment, a thermoplastic polyimide film or a vinyl chloride sheet is used for the inner layer sheet 3, and a thermoplastic polyurethane sheet, a vinyl chloride sheet, and a soft ferrule for the outer layer sheet 2 are used. Metal-based or single-part polyethylene and EVA, EVOH laminated film or sheet nylon 6,66 base cloth / thermoplastic urethane tarpaulin, nylon 6,66 base cloth / vinyl chloride tarpaulin Or polyester base fabric / thermoplastic urethane tarpaulin, polyester base fabric / vinyl chloride.

Bead 4 must be filled with unevenness that does not occur in the mat. In this embodiment, the plurality of beads are spread over the entire unbiased manner, and the gas permeable bag 8 using the polyester spunbonded nonwoven fabric or the nylon spunbonded nonwoven fabric is divided into several elongated bags, and In each of the regions 9, the beads 4 of the same amount and amount are respectively filled, and the inner and outer sheets 2 and 3 are inserted to form a mat having a flat appearance.

The bead 4 is a granular body of foamed polyethylene or expanded polystyrene, and the smaller the particle diameter, the more fully conformable to the shape of the article regardless of the particle size.

Further, between the outer sheet 2 of the mat 1 and the pouch 8, the outer sheet 2 is adhered to the outer sheet 2 via a conformal sheet 10 which retains the mat 1 in a fixed shape, and the outer sheet 2 is covered with a protective cover 6. The outer surface. In this embodiment, although the example in which the bag 8 is divided into four elongated bag shapes is shown, the shape or the number of divisions of the bag 8 is not particularly limited. The larger the number of divisions, the less the unevenness of the beads in the mat 1 becomes, and the flatness of the mat 1 increases. On the contrary, when the area is too thin, it is difficult to solidify along the shape of the bundled article.

Next, the method of binding two or more articles having different shapes using the mat 1 for packing of the present invention will be described. Fig. 2 shows a set of desktop personal computers, i.e., a personal computer body 11, a keyboard 12, a mouse 13, and a display 14. In fact, in addition to this, a printer such as a printer, a scanner, or the like is connected, but for the sake of easy understanding, here, two or more items are to be bundled, in this case, only It is limited to a desktop PC, that is, a combination of a personal computer body 11, a keyboard 12, a mouse 13, and a display 14.

Now, for the sake of relocation, etc., when it is necessary to carry a series of such machines including the personal computer main body 11, the keyboard 12, the mouse 13, and the display 14 in a batch, first, the mats necessary for encasing a series of machines are selected. 1. The face of the inner layer sheet 3 faces upward and the mat 1 is unfolded on the floor (not shown). Then, from the table, the power distribution cable of the personal computer body 11, the keyboard 12, the mouse 13, and the display 14 (hereinafter referred to as a group of devices S in the entire batch) is pulled out from the power socket, and the wiring between the machines is connected. The cable, which is not removed from the machine, is placed on a face of at least half of the mat 1 as shown in Fig. 3.

For transportation, it is preferable to arrange the machines as close as possible to the smallest possible capacity. However, in the present invention, the arrangement and combination of the machines are not particularly problematic as conditions for fixing and holding a group of machines S.

This example is an easy-to-understand example in which the keyboard 12 is placed face up in front of the display 14 in the upright posture, and the personal computer body 11 is placed vertically on one side thereof. Such a configuration, needless to say, is the configuration when the personal computer is used. That is, the display is carried out in the same manner as the use state.

Next, as shown in Fig. 4, the end edge 1a of the mat 1 in which the remaining half of the machine S is not placed is picked up, and stands up along the back of a group of machines S, and more, as shown in Fig. 5. The top of a set of machines S is shown covered and its end edge 1a is lowered to the front of a set of machines S. Thereby, both sides of a group of machines S are also covered by the two edges of the mat.

In this state, a gap formed between a group of machines S also partially enters the mat 1 so that the mat 1 is sufficiently conformed to the shape of a group of machines S. Thereafter, as shown in Fig. 5, the exhaust pump 15 is connected to a check valve 5 attached to a portion of the outer sheet 2 of the mat 1, and the inside of the mat 1 is driven by manually or electrically driving the exhaust pump 15. The air is drawn out.

As the air in the mat 1 is withdrawn, the mat 1 shrinks and the inner volume is reduced, and the beads 4 filled in the mat 1 follow the shape of the set of machines S while the mat 1 is contracted. The ground gathers and fills the gap of the mat 1 to prevent free movement, and in a state where the set of machines is held at a fixed position, the mat becomes a solidified state as shown in Fig. 6. The outer surface of the mat is kept flat and does not wrinkle.

Generally, to hold the item of the cube in a fixed position, it is necessary to support the item at least 3 points. In this embodiment, the mat 1 is composed of a set of machines S, among which a machine disposed at least on the outside is a part of the surface of the mat, the bottom surface and the top of the machine. And at least three sides of the front side, the back side, one side or the other side are supported and fixed and held in a fixed position.

Further, among a group of machines S, even a machine disposed at a central portion of a group of machines S, except for supporting at least the underside and the upper surface of the machine with a mat, and by inserting one of the lower or upper mats into the machine The gap is in contact with the article to be bundled from the direction of 3, and by the degassing in the mat, the three sides of the article are supported on one of the solidified mats, so that the machine S is not wrapped in the mat. shake. Further, as long as the mat 1 is in contact with the surface of the machine, the mat 1 is solidified in a state of being in contact with the surface of the machine by degassing, so that even the height of the bundled machine is different. It is also possible to fix the respective machine to the mat.

In Fig. 7, the display 14 is held by the display 14 except that the bottom surface, the back surface and the upper surface thereof are held by the cured mat 1 on one side by covering the upper surface of the display 14 with the mat 1. The portion 1b which is suspended from the upper side to the side is held, and the other side is held by the portion 1c of the mat 1 which is solidified by entering the gap between the personal computer body 11 and the display 14, and more from the machine. Below this, one of the portions 1d, 1e, and 1f of the mat 1 is solidified in a state of being erected to hold the respective portions of the machine. The same applies to the fixing of the personal computer body 11. That is, the personal computer body 11, the keyboard 12, the mouse 13, and the display 14 constituting a personal computer are stably held by the cured mat 1.

When the packaging mat 1 of the present invention is cured, for example, when the portion placed on the floor surface or the table is used as the bottom surface, the portion rising upward is formed into a side surface, and the portion at the front end of the lateral direction is further bent as a top portion. The cube of the face is further cured by bending the bent portion to the front when the front end is bent downward, but in the present invention, the bent shape is arranged and combined with the articles to be bundled. The shape is determined by itself.

In the case of transporting, the mats in which a set of machines S (two or more items) are bundled can be transported as a cargo on the vehicle, but when a certain size is required, the bundle can be bundled. A mat containing a set of machines S (two or more items) is housed in a box (not shown) of a certain size. In this case, it is necessary to insert the stuffing so that the mats that bundle the set of machines S (two or more items) do not move in the outer box, but a small amount of the stuffing is sufficient.

When the bundle of goods is unloaded at the delivery point, the check valve 5 installed on the mat 1 is opened, and when the outside air is introduced into the mat 1, the aggregate state of the beads 4 is released, and the mat 1 becomes soft, and The package of the bale can be opened freely. In this state, the mat 1 is unpacked and a set of machines S is taken out therefrom, and the personal computer main body 11, the keyboard 12, the mouse 13, and the display 14 are arranged on the table in such a state, and the respective power supply wirings are used. The plug of the cable is inserted into the socket, and the personal computer can be used as soon as the power is supplied.

In Fig. 8, another example of the mat for packing is shown. Fig. 8 is an example in which the beads are not interposed in a bag having gas permeability, and the beads are directly filled between the inner and outer sheets. In this embodiment, a polyurethane sheet is used for the inner layer and the outer sheet, but a polyethylene sheet or a vinyl chloride sheet may also be used.

In the present embodiment, the two layers of the outer layer sheet 22 and the inner layer sheet 23 are superposed one on top of the other, and the plurality of beads 24 are directly filled between the two sheets 22, 23, and the periphery of the two sheets 22, 23 are The mat 21 is processed by hermetically wide-sealing sealing, but in this embodiment, after the filling amount of the beads 24 is equally averaged in the mat 21, in order to prevent partial unevenness At the point of the two sheets 22, 23, for example, the two sheets 22, 23 are directly thermally welded to each other at a certain interval between the intersections P (welding points) of the column and the row.

However, the position of the welding is not necessarily limited to the intersection point P between the column and the course, and may be arranged in a thousand bird shape in the longitudinal and lateral directions, but it is necessary to weld regularly at regular intervals.

On one of the sheet faces of the outer sheet 22, a check valve 25 is mounted. The method of packing a series of machines including a personal computer main body, a keyboard, a mouse, a display, and the like in a whole batch using the mat 21 of the present embodiment is completely the same as in the previous embodiment. That is, the mat 21 is unfolded on the floor (not shown) with the inner sheet 23 facing upward.

Next, when a group of machines is placed and wrapped by the mat 21, and the air in the mat 21 is withdrawn, as the air in the mat 21 is taken out, the mat 21 is shrunk to reduce the internal volume and is filled in the mat 21. The beads 24 are assembled with each other along the shape of a group of machines as the mat 21 contracts, and fill the gap of the mat 21 to prevent free movement, while holding a group of machines in a fixed position. In the state, the mat 21 is in a cured state.

In this embodiment, there is a gap between the two sheets 22, 23 between the fusion splice points P and P adjacent to each other, and the gaps communicate with each other, and the movement of the beads 24 filled with the gap is hardly found, and it is not necessarily required to be In Example 1, the beads were restrained by a gas permeable bag. It is better to use a bag that does not use restraint beads to maintain softness to the liner and to improve the conformability to the article when cured. In any of the above embodiments, the zipper may be attached to the end edge to open and close in a state in which the mat is folded in half.

There is no limitation on the kind or the number of articles to be bundled by using the mat for packing of the present invention. Therefore, the number of articles to be bundled may of course be one. However, the present invention is characterized in that the conditions of the shape, the material, the height, the size, and the like are different, and the two or more articles in the connected state are bundled. In the case of the situation, the effect is achieved.

That is, when a set of personal computers is bundled, the mat is cured not only by the shape of a hard-shaped cube such as a personal computer body, a keyboard, or a display, but also by a wiring cable connected to the machine room. The items are the same. For example, the shape of one of the distribution cables is drawn, and when the bundle is bundled, the shape of the bundle is drawn and solidified. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the wiring cable from coming off or loosening from the machine during transportation. By using the mat for packing of the present invention, regardless of the softness and hardness of the packaged article, it can be stably held and packed in the mat.

The articles bundled by the packing mats used in the method of the present invention are of course not limited to a complete set of personal computers, and may be applied to a bundle of one set of machines which are combined as one system.
