Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tray capable of satisfactorily transporting or storing a brittle columnar body without damaging the body.
  • a honeycomb structure having a columnar shape including a circular or elliptic section which is vertical in an axial direction is used.
  • the structure is subjected to operations such as packing, transporting and storing.
  • the honeycomb structure is mainly made of a ceramic which is a brittle material. Therefore, this involves a problem that the structure is easily damaged under impact due to vibrations generated during the operations.
  • a similar problem applies to general ceramic products. Furthermore, the problem applies to all columnar products such as a narrow-sense glass product and a plastic product, excluding the ceramic product, which are formed of the brittle material. It is to be noted that examples of a prior document concerning prevention of the damage on the ceramic product include Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-226837.
  • the present invention has been developed in view of the above-mentioned situations, and an object thereof is to provide means for satisfactorily storing or transporting a columnar product formed of a brittle material which is easily damaged without damaging the product. As a result of repeated investigations, it has been found that, when the product is packaged using the following tray, the above object can be achieved.
  • a tray for a brittle columnar body (hereinafter referred to simply as the tray) which is used to transport or hold the brittle columnar body, the tray having a plate-like shape and at least one pocket for holding the brittle columnar body at the end side of the columnar body and having raised portions respectively on a bottom surface and side surfaces of the tray defining a part of a pocket except a corner portion of the pocket where the bottom surface and the side surface of the tray come in contact, relations of DS>TB and DB>TS being satisfied, in which TB is a height of the raised portion disposed on the bottom surface of the tray, DS is a distance between the side surface facing to the corner of the tray of the raised portion disposed on the bottom surface of the tray and the bottom surface of the tray, TS is a height of the raised portion disposed on the side surface of the tray, and DB is a distance between the side surface facing to the corner of the tray of the raised portion disposed on the bottom surface
  • the tray is expressed as the plate-like tray including the pocket.
  • the tray is used to transport or hold an object, and can also be expressed as a server, a shallow box or a plate including a peripheral wall.
  • the brittle columnar body is a formed brittle body which is easily damaged and which has a columnar shape.
  • the pocket is not only a bag-like storage member but also a depression or a shallow hole.
  • the raised portion has a constant height.
  • the height TB of the raised portion disposed on the bottom surface and the height TS of the raised portion disposed on the side surface are heights of the highest portions from the bottom surface and the side surface.
  • the distance DB between the side surface facing to the corner of the tray of the raised portion disposed on the bottom surface of the tray and the side surface of the tray and the distance DS between the side surface facing to the corner of the tray of the raised portion disposed on the side surface of the tray and the bottom surface are respectively the distances between the side surface or the bottom surface of the tray and each closest end side of raised portions.
  • the raised portion disposed on the side surface as a part of defining a pocket is constituted of a member which is different from that of the side surface (of a tray main body).
  • the only raised portion may be attached as the separate member.
  • Examples of an especially preferable configuration include a configuration where on one tray member which does not have the only raised portion disposed on the side surface forming the pocket, there is superimposed another tray member having the only raised portion disposed on the side surface of the tray defining a part of a pocket. That is, the examples include a tray having a double structure.
  • the tray for the brittle columnar body according to the present invention is formed of a main material including one of polypropylene, polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, vinyl chloride, iron, aluminum and paper.
  • the tray is formed of a plastic material such as polypropylene, polyethylene or polyethylene terephthalate, the tray has a preferable thickness of about 0.3 to 2.0 mm.
  • the tray for the brittle columnar body according to the present invention is formed of a foam material.
  • a preferable foam material include a material obtained by foam-forming a polyolefin-based resin.
  • the polyolefin-based resin is a copolymer or the like mainly made of polyethylene, polypropylene and olefin.
  • a packaging body comprising: two trays for the brittle columnar body described above; and a box in which the two trays for the brittle columnar body and the brittle columnar body supported by two trays for the brittle columnar body are held.
  • a cardboard box is preferably used as the box in which the brittle columnar body is held.
  • the tray for the brittle columnar body has raised portions respectively on a bottom surface and side surfaces of the tray defining a part of a pocket at portions except a corner portion of the pocket where the bottom surface and the side surface of the tray come in contact, wherein a height of the raised portion TB disposed on the bottom surface of the tray, a distance DS is a distance between the side surface facing to the corner of the tray of the raised portion disposed on the side surface of the tray and the bottom surface of the tray, a height of the raised portion TS disposed on the side surface of the tray, and a distance DB is a distance between the side surface facing to the corner of the tray of the raised portion disposed on the bottom surface of the tray and the side surface of the tray, meet relations of DS>TB and DB>TS, therefore the bottom surface and the side surface forming the pocket are provided with the raised portions disposed at portions except the corners of the pocket where the bottom surface comes in contact with the side surface, respectively.
  • the end surface of the brittle columnar body when an end surface of the brittle columnar body is held in the pocket at the end side of the columnar body, the end surface of the brittle columnar body abuts on the raised portion of the pocket forming bottom surface of the tray. Moreover, a peripheral surface of the brittle columnar body abuts on the raised portion of the pocket forming side surface of the tray, and the brittle columnar body is firmly fixed. Furthermore, as a result, an edge portion (a portion where the end surface comes in contact with the peripheral surface) of the brittle columnar body which is supposed to be most easily damaged does not abut on the tray.
  • the raised portion disposed on the side surface forming the pocket is constituted of the member which is different from that of the side surface.
  • the tray has a double structure where the one tray member which does not have the only raised portion disposed on the bottom surface forming the pocket is superimposed on the other tray member having the only raised portion disposed on the bottom surface forming the pocket. Therefore, the tray is easily prepared. That is, it is sometimes difficult to especially form the raised portion disposed on the pocket forming side surface, depending on the material for use in the tray and a method of forming the tray. However, when this portion is constituted of the (attachable) separate member, difficulty in forming the tray can be overcome.
