Affixing is completed on the pinion part 19 of the end square cylindrical buffer and the bottom part 36 of the wound plate.
[0013]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As described above, the conventional packaging apparatus for accessories for lighting fixtures in the form of a ladder has a problem that the cost increases because it is described below.
[0014]
First, the types of packaging parts are the end square cylindrical buffer body 15, the outer trunk frame plate 25 that is folded into a U-shape, the inner trunk frame plate 30 that is folded into a U-shape, and a winding plate as an outer packaging member. It consists of 35, and there are 4 types and many types.
[0015]
Secondly, the number of packaging parts is composed of two end corner cylindrical buffer bodies, one outer body frame plate, one inner body frame plate, and one winding plate, and the number of parts is large at five points.
[0016]
Thirdly, after the end square cylindrical buffer is assembled into a cylindrical shape, two tapes 22 and 22 are attached to hold the cylindrical shape. Furthermore, it takes time and effort to manufacture packaging parts, such as attaching 29 positioning pieces in a rectangular shape as two separate members to the outer body frame plate.
[0017]
Fourthly, as shown in FIG. 9A , a baffle 1 as a ladder-shaped accessory for lighting equipment has a large number of rectangular baffle plates 2 arranged in the longitudinal direction along the width direction. A frame 5 having an upper opening connecting the baffle plate 2 and having a substantially U-shaped cross section is integrally formed on both sides.
[0018]
For this reason, as shown in FIG. 9B , the baffle 1 has a shape that is easily deformed into a diamond shape when an impact is applied from the lateral direction as indicated by an arrow during distribution or the like.
[0019]
Therefore, in order to prevent deformation into a rhombus, the inner body frame plate 30 is attached to the inner plate facing the opposite longitudinal center plate of the baffle and bent into a substantially U shape, and Attached by positioning between the positioning pieces 29 and 29 attached to both sides of the outer body frame plate circumscribed by the outer plates 6 and 6 positioned on the outer side and bent into a substantially U shape, the center 1 in the longitudinal direction of the baffle 1 Although the baffle is held from outside and inside at a location to prevent the baffle from deforming into a diamond shape, this is not sufficient for preventing deformation.
[0020]
Fifth, in order to protect the baffle plate, as shown in FIG. 10, since the buffer space 10 is provided in the upper part of the baffle 1, the height of the exterior packaging member in the packaging state in which the baffle is packaged is high. Since it becomes high, it is difficult to increase the number of stacked layers.
[0021]
This invention is made | formed in view of said point, and makes it a subject to provide the packaging apparatus which can aim at reduction of cost and can aim at protection of a to-be-packaged item enough.
[0022]

The width of the reinforcing buffer plate 75 is smaller than that between the baffle plates 2 and 2 of the baffle.
[0038]
As shown in FIG. 1, the reinforcing buffer plates 75 are respectively attached to both ends of the baffle, and the rising pieces 77 and 77 of the reinforcing buffer plates bent in a substantially U shape are as shown in FIG. From below, it is inscribed in the inner plates 7 and 7 of the baffle and inserted until it abuts against the baffle.
[0039]
As a second step, the flat end cushioning plate 60 is bent 180 degrees toward the front side along the bent portion 63 obtained by half-cutting the width direction reinforcing plate 62 formed between the slits 61, 61. Overlapping directional reinforcement plates. Since the bent part 63 is half-cut, the overlapped width direction reinforcing plates can maintain the overlapped state.
[0040]
Then, as shown in FIG. 5, a pair of frame bodies 5, 5 formed on both sides of the baffle are indicated by arrows in a pair of slits 61, 61 formed on both sides of the overlapped width direction reinforcing plate. The inner plate 7 and the outer plate 6 of the frame body are inscribed in and out of contact with the slit 61 by being moved downward and fitted into the slits 61 and 61.

[0049]
Furthermore, a half-cut bent portion is provided to be overlapped in the longitudinal direction on the width direction reinforcing plate formed between the slits of the end buffer plates inserted and attached to both ends of the baffle, and these width direction reinforcing plates are overlapped in the longitudinal direction. By increasing the thickness, it is possible to withstand a larger impact force against an impact from the width direction of the baffle and further prevent the diamond from being deformed.
[0050]
The U-shaped reinforcing buffer plate attached in the width direction of the baffle is formed integrally with the end portion of the top surface portion of the exterior packaging member via a connecting portion, and is configured to be separated and used during packaging. Since the portion can be used, the cost can be reduced .
[0051]
Furthermore, since the bottom surface portion and the top surface portion of the exterior packaging member that covers the packaged object are closely adhered to the packaged object, the height of the exterior packaging member is reduced, and the number of stacking steps is increased. Cost can be reduced.
[0052]
【The invention's effect】
As described in detail above, the present invention described in claim 1 has the following effects.
[0053]
First, there are three types of packaging parts including an end buffer plate, a reinforcing buffer plate, and an exterior packaging member, which can be reduced by one type compared to the four types of the prior art.
[0054]
Secondly, the number of packaging parts consists of 2 end buffer plates, 2 reinforcing buffer plates, and 1 exterior packaging member, for a total of 5 points, which is the same number of parts as the 5 points of the conventional technology. Since the two cushion plates are formed integrally with the exterior packaging member via the connecting part and are used by being separated during packaging, the number of packaging parts is 3 points compared to 5 points in the prior art. Can be reduced.
[0055]
Thirdly, for the production of packaging parts, just use tape when sealing the outer packaging member, and other packaging parts can be folded along the crease line, as in the prior art. No effort is required to make a packaging part without sticking a tape to hold the shape of the tape or attaching another member to the outer body frame plate.
[0056]
Fourthly, the slits formed on both sides of the end cushioning plate are inserted at both ends of the frame on both sides of the package to avoid the light shielding member, thereby supporting the ends of the frame of the package from inside and outside. ing.
[0057]
Fifth, since the bottom surface portion and the top surface portion of the exterior packaging member are closely adhered to the packaged object, the height of the exterior packaging member is lowered compared to the conventional case where a buffer space is secured in the height direction. In addition, since the number of stacking stages is increased, the cost can be reduced in view of the fact that transportation costs, warehouse storage charges, and cargo collapse are less likely to occur.
[0058]
Sixth, the width direction reinforcing plate formed between the slits of the end buffer plate is folded and overlapped, and the width direction reinforcing plate is inscribed in the frame body of the package, so that the width direction The impact resistance against the impact applied from is increased.
[0060]
Therefore, time and cost can be reduced in all the processes related to packaging from manufacture of packaging materials to transportation, packaging, and industrial waste processing of the packaging materials.
