DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0030] Below, embodiment(s) of the packaging box according to the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.
[0031] First, an overview of the entire configuration will be explained.
[0032] As shown in
[0033] As shown in
[0034] At the respective sides (long sides and short sides) of the bottom board portion 22, a pair of narrow-width sideboard portions 24a and 24c facing to each other in approximately parallel and a pair of wide-width sideboard portions 24b and 24d facing to each other in approximately parallel position upright in the vertical Z direction (hereinafter, simply referred to as “the Z direction”) perpendicular to both of the X and Y directions so as to connect both side end portions of the narrow-width sideboard portions 24a and 24c. The four sideboard portions 24a, 24b, 24c and 24d configure the rectangular parallelepiped lower box body part. A space surrounded by the four sideboard portions 24a, 24b, 24c and 24d is a space 23 for housing a rolled product (refer to
[0035] As shown in
[0036] The lower case 2 and the upper cover 4 are formed by paper or plastic cardboard (hereinafter, referred to as “a cardboard plate”), for example, as shown in
[0037] Next, an example of deployed structure will be explained.
[0038] As shown in
[0039] The bottom board portion 22 (refer to
[0040] The lower case 2 of the present example having the deployed structure as above may be assembled as explained below.
[0041] First, the narrow-width sideboard portion 24a is folded at the fold line 25a, the wide-width sideboard portion 24b is folded at the fold line 25b and the narrow-width sideboard portion 24c is folded at the fold line 25c at an angle of 90 degrees, respectively. Then, the margin for sticking 26 provided to the narrow-width sideboard portion 24a is folded at the fold line 25d at an angle of 90 degrees, brought to superimpose with the wide-width sideboard portion 24d so that the margin 26 comes inward and fixed. The fixing means is not particularly limited and may be fixed with an adhesive agent, etc.
[0042] Next, a pair of inner flaps (bottom lid flaps 22a and 22c) are folded at the fold line 25e at an angle of 90 degrees, then a pair of outer flaps (bottom lid flaps 22b and 22d) are folded at the fold line 25e at an angle of 90 degrees so as to cover over the inner flaps. In a state where ends of both of the outer flaps meet, they are connected with a not shown means for connecting the flaps (an adhesive tape, etc.). As explained above, the lower case 2 is assembled.
[0043] Note that, as the lower case 2 in the present example, other than the integrally-formed cardboard configured as shown in
[0044] As shown in
[0045] The top board portion 42 (refer to
[0046] The upper cover 4 in the present example having the deployed structure as above is assembled as explained below.
[0047] First, the narrow-width sideboard portion 44a is folded at the fold line 45a, the wide-width sideboard portion 44b is folded at the fold line 45b, and the narrow-width sideboard portion 44c is folded at the fold line 45c, then, the margin for sticking 46 provided to the narrow-width sideboard portion 44a is folded at the fold line 45d at an angle of 90 degrees, superimposed on the wide-width sideboard portion 44d, so that the margin 46 comes inside and fixed. Namely, when assembled, inside the narrow-width sideboard portion 44a formed with the handle part 52a does not have any superimposed fixing portion of the margin for sticking 46 (refer to
[0048] Next, a pair of inner flaps (the upper lid flaps 42a and 42c) are folded at the fold line 45e and, then, a pair of outer flaps (upper lid flaps 42b and 42d) are folded at the fold line 45e. In a state where ends of the outer flaps meet, they are connected by a not shown means for connecting the flaps (an adhesive tape, etc.). In this way, the upper cover 4 is assembled.
[0049] Note that, as the upper cover 4 in the present example, other than the integrally formed cardboard plate as shown in
[0050] Specifically, a cardboard plate obtained, for example, by preparing a piece C and a piece D (both are an example of a first member) and connecting the two via the margin for sticking 48 (a piece C (first member) composed of the narrow-width sideboard portion 44a, wide-width sideboard portion 44b, upper lid inner flap 42a, upper lid outer flap 42b and margin for sticking 46 and a piece D (first member) composed of the narrow-width sideboard portion 44c, wide-width sideboard portion 44d, upper lid inner flap 42c, upper lid outer flap 42d and margin for sticking 48 are superimposed so that the margin for sticking 48 of the piece D comes inside of the wide-width sideboard portion 44b of the piece C when assembled and fixed by an adhesive), etc. may be mentioned. When the upper lid member is configured by a plurality of pieces as above, the lid materials take up less space when storing and, moreover, since there are a plurality of superimposed portions for fixing in the Z direction (two in this example) after assembling, furthermore improvement is expected in strength in the Z direction to be secured.
[0051] Next, an explanation will be made on characteristic part of the present example.
[0052] <Handle Part>
[0053] In one mode, as shown in
[0054] In the present example, as shown in
[0055] A position, size and shape of the handle parts 52a and 52c to be provided are not particularly limited, but preferably they are at positions of equal distance from both end portions in the Y direction. The handle parts 52a and 52c may have a size (a width in the Y direction) allowing one or two fingers of an operator to hook. Their shape may be decided freely. In terms of easiness of forming, for example, an upside-down U shape (refer to
[0056] The handle part may be provided only on one end portion of the narrow width sideboard portions 44a and 44c. Onsite operation may be often done by only one person, so that considering such situation, a handle part 52a (or 52c) only on one narrow-width sideboard portion 44a (or 44c) would be able to improve workability sufficiently and it may also result in reducing production cost of the upper cover 4.
[0057] <Perforations>
[0058] Although it is not essential in the present invention, in one mode, a pair of narrow-width sideboard portions 44a and 44c may be provided with a pair of perforations 49a and 49a and perforations 49c and 49c running upward in the Z direction from lower ends (already mentioned above), which is the opposite side from the upper top board portion 42 side. The running direction of the perforations 49a, 49a, 49c and 49c is not strictly along the Z direction and would be enough if they run from the lower ends of the narrow-width sideboard portions 44a and 44c toward the direction of the top board portion 42. Here, “toward the direction of the top board portion 42” includes running in the direction of some angle from the Z direction.
[0059] The perforations 49a, 49a, 49c and 49c in the present example are configured by collective small holes lined up along the Z direction. When a pair of perforations 49a and 49a (or 49c and 49c) are cut, a sideboard piece 50 (refer to
[0060] “Positions” of arranging the pair of perforations 49a and 49a (or 49c and 49c) are not particularly limited but, for example, as shown in
[0061] “A length of the line of small holes (in the Z direction)” forming the perforations 49a, 49a, 49c and 49c is not particularly limited but in terms of easiness of cutting and strength, it is desired to be, for example, 5 mm or more and 50 mm or less or so and preferably 10 mm or more and 40 mm or less. When the length of the line is long, it becomes easier to cut the perforations 49a, 49a, 49c and 49c, however, when it is too long, strength in the Z direction tends to decline. “A distance between adjacent two holes (remaining length in the Z direction)” is not particularly limited, either, however, in terms of easiness of cutting, it is desired to be, for example, 2 mm or more and 20 mm or less or so and preferably 5 mm or more and 15 mm or less. When the remaining length is too long, it is liable that perforations 49a, 49a, 49c and 49c become hard to be cut.
[0062] “A width of the small holes (in the Y direction)” forming the perforations 49a, 49a, 49c and 49c is not particularly limited, either, however, when it is too large, strength in the Z direction tends to decline. Therefore, “a width of the small holes (Y direction)” may be designed arbitrarily in a range of maintaining the strength.
[0063] It is preferable that the perforations 49a, 49a, 49c and 49c are formed from the lower end to the upper end of the narrow-width sideboard portions 44a and 44c as shown in
[0064] Note that, when handle parts 52a and 52c provided to the pair of narrow-width sideboard portions 44a and 44c have an upside-down U shape as shown in
[0065] Next, the effects will be explained.
[0066] When unpacking a packing body, which is a packaging box 1 housing a rolled product, (that is, an operation of opening the packing body), the operator stands in front of either one (for example, the narrow-width sideboard portion 44a) of the narrow-width sideboard portions 44a and 44c of the upper cover 4 as shown in
[0067] When the perforations 49a and 49s and perforations 49c and 49c shown in
[0068] On the other hand, when perforations 49a, 49a, 49c and 49c shown in
[0069] Also, while pushing up the sideboard piece 50, the operator holds the other handle part 52c and lifts the other narrow-width sideboard portion 44c upward in the Z direction. During this, he/she may either cut or not cut the perforations 49c and 49c. From the above, opening of the packing body when perforations 49a, 49a, 49c and 49c are provided completes.
[0070] According to the packaging box 1 in the present example, among a plurality of sideboard portions configuring the rectangular parallelepiped body portion of the upper cover 4, the narrow-width sideboard portions 44a and 44c extending downward in the Z direction from both short sides of the top board portion 42 are formed with the handle parts 52a and 52c in a cutout shape for finger(s) to hook when unpacking. Together with this, it is configured that, on an inner surface of the narrow-width sideboard portions 44a and 44c, on which the handle part 52a and 52c are formed, a superimposed and fixed portion of the margins for sticking 46 and 48 extending in the Z direction, which are for connecting the narrow-width sideboard portions 44a and 44c with other wide-width sideboard portions 44b and 44d to be integral so as to form a body part of the upper cover 4, does not exist and the superimposed and fixed portion comes on an inner surface of other wide-width sideboard portions 44b and 44d. Therefore, comparing with the case of packing in a packaging box of the conventional configuration, wherein no superimposed and fixed portion of a margin for sticking exists on any sideboard portion (for example, the technique according to the patent document 1), strength in the Z direction can be enhanced in the packing body formed by packing a rolled product.
[0071] The embodiment explained above is described for facilitating understanding of the present invention and is not for limiting the present invention. Accordingly, respective elements disclosed in the embodiment above may include all design modifications and equivalent belonging to the technical range of the present invention.
