Description

【０００１】
【産業上の利用分野】
この発明は、電気掃除機の複数の部品を収納させるための電気掃除機用梱包箱に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
この種の電気掃除機用梱包箱としては、例えば、図２０，２１に示した様に、段ボール製の外箱１内に発泡スチロール製の下側緩衝部材２，３を仕切部材として配設し、この下側緩衝部材２，３の凹部２ａ，３ａに掃除機本体４を係合させ、この掃除機本体４の上に上緩衝部材５，６を仕切部材として係合させると共に、延長管７や吸込口体８を緩衝部材２，３及び５，６の側方の空間に配設し、集塵ホース９を上緩衝部材５，６上に捲回した状態で配設する様にした構造のものが考えられている。尚、実際には外箱１内が側壁等を介して視認できなが、図２１では説明の便宜上、外箱１内が側壁等を介して視認できるように図示している。また、図２１では、吸込口体８の図示を省略している。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、上述した電気掃除機用梱包箱では、掃除機本体４が上下の４つの肉厚の緩衝部材２，３，５，６により四方より押え込まれる構成であるため、梱包容積が大きくなり、その結果として外箱１の外形が大きくなると共に、緩衝材２，３，５，６の管理の為に多くのスペースを必要としていた。
【０００４】
また、緩衝部材２，３，５，６の配置には向きや上下関係があるため、緩衝部材２，３，５，６の外箱１内への組込性が必ずしもよいものではなかった。
【０００５】
更に、上述した様に、掃除機本体４が上下の４つの肉厚の緩衝部材２，３，５，６により四方から押え込まれる構成であるため、上述した電気掃除機の各部品が外箱１内に収納されると共に、外箱１の上部開口端が外箱１の蓋板１ａ〜１ｄで閉成された状態で、蓋板１ａ〜１ｄに上方から大きな外力が作用した場合、集塵ホース９が潰れる虞があった。
【０００６】
また、蓋板１ａには把手穴１０が形成され、外箱１の上部開口端が外箱１の蓋板１ａ〜１ｄで閉成された状態では把手穴１０に手を入れて蓋板１ａを掴むことで、外箱１を持ち上げることができるが、外箱１内に電気掃除機の部品が収納されている状態で蓋板１ａを把手代わりにするには、蓋板１ａが強度的に弱いものであった。
【０００７】
そこで、この発明の第１の目的は、外箱内のスペースを小さくして、外箱の外形を小さくできると共に、仕切部材の管理スペースを小さくできる電気掃除機用梱包箱を提供することにある。
【０００８】
また、この発明の第２の目的は、緩衝部材の外箱１内への組込性が良い電気掃除機用梱包箱を提供することにある。
【０００９】
更に、この発明の第３の目的は、外箱の蓋板に外力が作用しても、外箱内に配設した集塵ホースが潰れにくい電気掃除機用梱包箱を提供することにある。
【００１０】
また、この発明の第４の目的は、外箱の蓋板に設けた把手穴を用いて、蓋板を把手代わりとして使用しても、この蓋板の補強を行うことができる電気掃除機用梱包箱を提供することにある。
【００１１】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上述した第１，第２の目的を達成するため、請求項１の発明は、底壁及び長手方向両端の側壁及び短手方向両端の側壁を有する段ボール製の外箱と、前記外箱内に配設されて前記外箱内を複数の部品収納空間に仕切るための一つの段ボール製の仕切部材を備え、
前記仕切部材は底壁と該底壁の長手方向両端の辺にそれぞれ連設されて前記外箱の長手方向両端の各側壁の内側面にそれぞれ対向する仕切部材側の側壁を有し、
前記仕切部材の長手方向両端の一方の側壁は前記仕切部材の底壁の長手方向両端の一方の辺から起立する中央側壁と該中央側壁の両側から前記外箱の長手方向両端の一方の側壁の内側面に向けてそれぞれ折り曲げられて前記外箱の長手方向両端の一方の側壁の内側面にそれぞれ当接する折曲壁を有し、
前記仕切部材の長手方向両端の他方の側壁は前記仕切部材の底壁の長手方向両端の他方の辺から起立する中央側壁と該中央側壁の両側から前記外箱の長手方向両端の他方の側壁の内側面に向けてそれぞれ折り曲げられて前記外箱の長手方向両端の他方の側壁の内側面にそれぞれ当接する折曲壁を有し、
前記仕切部材の一方の中央側壁及び折曲壁と前記外箱の長手方向両端の一方の側壁の内側面との間に部品収納空間が形成され、前記仕切部材の他方の中央側壁及び折曲壁と前記外箱の長手方向両端の他方の側壁の内側面との間に部品収納空間が形成されていると共に、
前記仕切部材の底壁の前記長手方向両端の辺に隣接する短手方向両端の辺には前記各中央側壁の両側の各折曲壁の外側面にそれぞれ当接する補強壁が形成され、前記各補強壁の長手方向両端は前記外箱の長手方向両端の側壁の内側面にそれぞれ当接させられ、前記両補強壁間に部品収納空間が形成され、
前記中央側壁の両側部と前記補強壁の一方には係合孔が形成され、他方には前記係合孔に係合して補強壁と中央側壁とを結合する係合片が設けられている電気掃除機用梱包箱としたことを特徴とする。
【００１６】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、この発明の実施の形態を図１〜図１９に基づいて説明する。
【００１７】
[構成]
電気掃除機用梱包箱は、図１１，図１３に示した段ボール製の外箱１１と、図１３に示した段ボール製の第１の仕切部材１２と、段ボール製の第２の仕切部材１３を有する。
【００１８】
＜外箱１１＞
外箱１１は、底壁１４と、長手方向両端の側壁１５，１６と、短手方向両端の側壁１７，１８を有すると共に、側壁１５〜１８に連設された蓋板１９〜２２を有する。この外箱１１の蓋板１９，２０を上部開口端側に折り畳んだ後、蓋板２１，２２を蓋板１９，２０上に折り畳むことにより、外箱１１の上部開口端を閉成することができる。２３は、蓋板２１の略中央に設けたスリット状の把手穴である。
【００１９】
＜第１の仕切部材１２＞
第１の仕切部材１２は、図１に示した様に、底壁２４と、底壁２４の長手方向両端の辺にそれぞれ連設された側壁２５，２５を有する（図４，図１３参照）。この各側壁２５は、各底壁２４の長手方向両端の辺から起立する中央側壁２６と、中央側壁２６の両側から外箱１１の側壁１５，１６の内側面１５ａ，１６ａに向けて折り曲げられ且つ側壁１５，１６の内側面１５ａ，１６ａに当接する折曲壁２７を有する。尚、この側壁２５は、上下方向が強度的に高くなっている。
【００２０】
また、第１の仕切部材１２は、底壁２４の長手方向両端の辺に隣接する短手方向両端の辺に連設された補強壁２８，２８を有する。この補強壁２８は、折曲壁２７の外側面に当接していると共に、長手方向両端が図１に示した様に外箱１１の側壁１５，１６に当接させられている。尚、補強壁２８は、長手方向には強度が高くなっている。従って、仕切部材１２に長手方向の外力が作用しても、折曲壁２７が曲ったり変形したりするのを補強壁２８が防止する。
【００２１】
しかも、中央側壁２６の両側部には、図５に示した様なスリット状の係合孔２９，２９（図２，図３参照）が形成されていると共に、この各係合孔２９から拡開する方向に延びる切込３０，３０が形成されている。そして、この切込３０，３０間には、破線で示した折り目３１に沿って折り曲げ可能な台形状の押え片３２が形成されている。
【００２２】
また、補強壁２８の上部に中央側壁２５，２５の幅と同じ寸法の突出壁部２８ａを設け、この突出壁部２８の長手方向両に設けた係合片３３を係合孔２９に係合させている。この係合片３３は、基部３３ａが係合孔２９に遊びなく係合すると共に、先端に向かうに従って係合孔２９の長さより幅広となる鳩尾状をしていて、係合孔２９から抜け外れない様になっている。この状態は、係合片３３が押え片３２で係合孔２９に押えつけられていることにより維持されている。これにより、補強壁２８は中央側壁２６に結合されている。尚、押え片３２を折り目３１に沿って折り曲げて開き、係合片３３を折り目３１側に移動させることで、係合片３３を係合孔２９に対して挿脱できる様になっている。
【００２３】
この様な第１の仕切部材１２は、図５に示した様に打抜いた一枚の段ボール板３４を破線で示した折り目３５，３６，３７に沿ってこの順に折り曲げると共に、押え片３２を折り目３１に沿って折り曲げて開き、係合片３３を折り目３１側から挿通して係合孔２９側に移動させ、係合片３３を押え片３２で係合孔２９に対して押え付けることにより形成したものである。尚、段ボール板３４は、波板紙３４の筋が補強壁２８の長手方向に延びていて、この補強壁２８の長手方向の強度を高くしていると共に、側壁２５の上下方向の強度を高くしている。
【００２４】
＜第２の仕切部材１３＞
第２の仕切部材１３は、図６，図８に示した様に、中央の縦壁３８と、縦壁３８に連設され且つ互いに対向する下壁３９と上壁４０を有する。この仕切部材１３の下壁３９と上壁４０の自由端部側角部には、互いに接近する方向（上下方向）に延びる略台形状又は三角形状の折曲補強壁３９ａ及び４０ａが設けられている。そして、補強壁４０ａは先端（下端）４０ｂが下壁３９の上面に当接させられている。これにより、下壁３９と上壁４０の自由端部側角部は間隔が一定に保持されていると共に、この角部が補強されて上下方向の外力で潰れにくくなっている。
【００２５】
しかも、折曲補強壁４０ａの基部中央には図６，図８，図９に示した様にスリット状の係合孔４１が形成され、折曲補強壁３９ａの上端には係合孔４１に挿入係合させられた係合片４２が一体に設けられている。この係合片４２は、図９に示した様に、係合孔４１に遊びなく係合する基部４２ａと、この基部４２ａに連設された係止部４２ｂを有する。この係止部４２ｂは、先端に向かうに従って一側縁４２ｃが他側縁４２ｄ側に傾斜させられて、係合孔４１に挿入し易くなっている。また、係止部４２ｂは、基部４２ａへの連設部が基部４２ａの幅よりも幅広に形成されていて、折曲補強壁４０ａの内側面に係止する係止段部４２ｅが他側縁４２ｄ側に形成されている。これにより、折曲補強壁３９ａ，４０ａが互いに結合され、下壁３９と上壁４０の自由端部側角部の間隔をより安定した状態で一定に保持されると共に、この角部がより強固に補強されて上下方向の外力でより潰れにくくなっている。
【００２６】
４３は下壁３９の先端に連設された前側壁、４４は縦壁３８に隣接して上壁４０の一側部に形成された折曲補強壁である。この前側壁４３は、上端が上壁４０の先端部下面に当接させられて、下壁３９と上壁４０の先端部間の間隔を一定に保つようにしている。また、折曲補強壁４４は、下方に向けて延設されていると共に、図７に示した様に、先端（下端）に設けた凸部４４ａが下壁３９に設けた係合孔３９ｂに挿入され係止されて、下壁３９と上壁４０の基部間すなわち下壁３９と上壁４０の縦壁３８側が外力で潰れるのを阻止する様になっている。
【００２７】
また、４５は折曲補強壁４４を形成することにより上壁４０に形成された切欠、４６は上壁４０の先端部側に形成されたスリット状の把手穴である。この把手穴４６は、第２の仕切部材１３を外箱１１の上部内に配設することにより、図１１，図１２に示した様に、外箱１１の蓋板２１に設けた把手穴２３と一致する様になっている。
【００２８】
この構成により、把手穴２３，４６に手を入れて、第２の仕切部材１３の上壁４０を支持することにより、上壁４０が蓋板２１を補強する状態となるので、外箱１１内に電気掃除機の各部品が入っている状態で、蓋板２１を把手代わりとして外箱１１を持ち上げても、この蓋板２１を変形することがないようにできることになる。
【００２９】
この様な第２の仕切部材１３は、図１０に示した様に打抜いた一枚の段ボール板４７を破線で示した折り目４８，４９，５０，５１，５２，５３に沿ってこの順に折り曲げると共に、段ボール板４７を折り目５０，５０に沿って折り曲げて下壁３９と上壁４０とを平行に対向させる際に、折曲補強壁４４の凸部４４ａを下壁３９の係合孔３９ａに係合させると共に、段ボール板４７を折り目５３に沿って折り曲げる際に、係合片４２を係合孔４１に挿通して、係合片４２の係止段部４２ｅを折曲補強板４０ａの内側面に係止させることにより形成したものである。
【００３０】
尚、縦壁３８と下壁３９及び上壁４０の先端との幅は、外箱１１の側壁１７，１８間に略遊びなく係合可能な寸法に設定されている。これにより、前側壁４３は、仕切部材１３を外箱１１に挿入する際に、上端を上壁４０の先端に係合させれば、上端が上壁４０の先端に当接した状態が維持されて、下壁３９と上壁４０の先端部間を一定間隔に保持する。また、段ボール板４７は、内部に配設される波板紙４７ａの筋が下壁３９，縦壁３８，上壁４０の配列方向に延びて、この配列方向の強度が高くなっている。
【００３１】
[作用]
次に、この様な構成の電気掃除機用梱包箱の使用状態を説明する。
【００３２】
上述したように、第１の仕切部材１２は、図５に示した様に打抜いた一枚の段ボール板３４を破線で示した折り目３５，３６，３７に沿ってこの順に折り曲げると共に、押え片３２を折り目３１に沿って折り曲げて開き、係合片３３を折り目３１側から挿通して係合孔２９側に移動させ、係合片３３を押え片３２で係合孔２９に対して押え付けることにより形成される（組立られる）。
【００３３】
この組立により、第１の仕切部材１２には側壁２５，２５と補強壁２８，２８との間に部品収納空間５０ａが形成される。しかも、組み立てた仕切部材１２を図１の様に外箱１１内に挿入することにより、仕切部材１２の側壁２５，２５と外箱１１の側壁１５，１６との間に部品収納空間５１ａ，５２ａが形成されると共に、一方の補強壁２８と外箱１１の側壁１８との間に部品収納空間５３ａが形成される。
【００３４】
従って、図１４に示した様に部品収納空間５０ａに掃除機本体６０を配設すると共に、図示は省略したが、部品収納空間５１ａ，５２ａに叩き専用の吸込口体６１及び通常の吸込口体６２をそれぞれ配設し、部品収納空間５３ａに延長管６３を配設する（図１５参照）。この状態では、補強壁２８により外箱１１の側壁１５，１６が支持されるので、側壁１５，１６に作用する外力により外箱１１が補強壁２８の延びる方向に潰れるのが補強壁２８により阻止され、吸込口体６１，６２の保護が図れることになる。尚、図１５では図示の便宜上第１，第２仕切部材１２，１３の図示は省略している。
【００３５】
また、第２の仕切部材１３の組立に先だって、電気掃除機の集塵ホース６４を下壁３９上に配設した後、打抜いた一枚の段ボール板４７を破線で示した折り目４８，４９，５０，５１，５２，５３に沿ってこの順に折り曲げると共に、段ボール板４７を折り目５０，５０に沿って折り曲げて下壁３９と上壁４０とを平行に対向させる際に、折曲補強壁４４の凸部４４ａを下壁３９の係合孔３９ａに係合させると共に、段ボール板４７を折り目５３に沿って折り曲げる際に、係合片４２を係合孔４１に挿通して、係合片４２の係止段部４２ｅを折曲補強板４０ａの内側面に係止させることにより形成する（組み立てる）。これにより、集塵ホース６４は拡径しようとして、折曲補強壁４０ａに当接し、仕切部材１３から抜け落ちるのが防止される。
【００３６】
そして、この集塵ホース６４を保持された第２の仕切部材１３を外箱１１の上部内に挿入して、この第２の仕切部材１３を第１の仕切部材１２のコ字状の側壁２５，２５上に載置し、蓋板１９，２０を第２の仕切部材１３上に折り畳み、この蓋板１９，２０の上に蓋板２１，２２を折り畳むことにより、外箱１１の上部開口端を閉成する。この際、蓋板２１の把手穴２３が仕切部材１３の上壁４０に設けた把手穴４６に一致させられることになる。
【００３７】
この状態では、上下方向に強度が高いコ字状の側壁２５，２５で第２の仕切部材１３が支持されていると共に、この仕切壁２５，２５の折曲壁２７が開くのを補強壁２８で阻止されており、しかも、第２の仕切部材１３も下壁３９と上壁４０の先端部同士が折曲補強壁３９ａ，４０ａ，４４により補強されているので、外箱１１の蓋板２１，２２に外力が作用しても、仕切部材１２，１３が潰れるのを充分に防止できることになる。
【００３８】
以上説明した実施例では、補強壁２８に設けた係合片３３を側壁２５に設けた係合孔２９に係合するようにしたが、必ずしもこの構成に限定されるものではない。例えば、図１６に示した様に、側壁２５に設けた係合片３３´を補強壁２８の設けた係合孔２９´に圧入係合させるようにしてもよい。また、図１７に示した様に、中央側壁２６の側部下端に設けた穴７０の部分を折曲壁２７と同一面の突片７１として底壁２４上に突出させ、補強壁２８の突出壁部２８を折り目２８ｂから内側に折り曲げて、突出壁部２８ａを突片７１に内側に折り重ねると共に、突出壁部２８ａ先端の凸部２８ｃを底壁２４の側部に設けた係合孔２４ａに係合させる様にしても良い。
【００３９】
また、第１の仕切部材１２は、上述したように構成する必要はない。例えば、図１８に示した様に、上方に折り曲げた側壁８０，８１，８２を下壁３９の側部及び自由端に設けた構成としてもよい。また、第１の仕切部材１２は、図１８の側壁８１，８２を設けずに、図１９に示した様に側壁８２のみを設けた構成とすることもできる。
【００４０】
【発明の効果】
請求項１の発明は、以上説明したように構成としたので、外箱内のスペースを小さくして、外箱の外形を小さくできると共に、仕切部材の管理スペースを小さくできる。また、緩衝部材としての一つの仕切部材を外箱の底部側に挿入すれば良いので、緩衝部材としての機能を有する仕切部材の外箱内への組込性を良くすることができる。
【００４１】
また、前記仕切部材の底壁の前記長手方向両端の辺に隣接する短手方向両端の辺には前記各中央壁の両側の各折曲壁の外側面にそれぞれ当接する補強壁が形成され、前記各補強壁の長手方向両端は前記外箱の長手方向両端の側壁の内側面にそれぞれ当接させられている構成としたので、折曲壁が広がるのを防止して、側壁上に配置される部材を確実に支持できると共に、外箱の対向する側壁を補強壁で支持できるので、外箱の補強をすることもできる。
【００４２】
更に、前記中央側壁の両側部と前記補強壁の一方には係合孔が形成され、他方には前記係合孔に係合して補強壁と中央側壁とを結合する係合片が設けられている構成としたので、補強壁を仕切部材の側壁に連結固定して、折曲壁が広がるのを確実に防止できる。
