Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a product storage structure and a product storage method in which a plurality of products are arranged and stored in a set box.
[0002]
[Prior art]
For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-301272 is known as a display combined use box that stores and displays a plurality of packaged products. The set box disclosed in this gazette cuts out an upper part including a flap-type opening / closing portion along a perforation formed on a side surface when displaying a product at a store. The set box from which the upper part of the box is removed has a rectangular bottom (one-touch bottom), front and rear side plates standing above each edge of the bottom, and an upper opening. The height of the front plate is formed lower than the height of the rear plate. Moreover, since the protrusion leg which protruded below from the bottom part is formed in the lower end of a front plate, a bottom part inclines below toward the back from the front of a set box. In accordance with the inclination of the bottom part, individual commodities stored in the set box are also inclined backward. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the displayed product from being brought forward and to display the notation and decoration printed on the front of the product so that the customer can see them well.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, there are various types of packaging shapes for products, and one shape includes a protruding portion that protrudes upward from the upper part of the package box. For example, in order to increase the customer's eye catch, a catch label may be attached to the upper part of the box in a protruding form. Moreover, the tab which protruded from the upper part of goods may be integrally formed in a box. Furthermore, a hook that protrudes in the upper center of the product may be formed integrally with the box. In these shapes, the protrusion provided integrally or separately protrudes upward from the product. Conventionally, when a plurality of packaged products are arranged and stored in a set box, a set box having a margin in the internal space corresponding to the rising dimension of the protruding portion has been used. However, when the internal space of the set box is increased, there is a disadvantage that the distribution space is increased correspondingly and the distribution cost is increased.
[0004]
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to save space in a set box for storing a plurality of packaged products side by side and to suppress an increase in physical distribution costs.
[0005]
Another object of the present invention is to improve workability by minimizing the number of packaging material parts and facilitating the set operation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
(First embodiment)
An embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described by taking as an example a display combined set box having both functions of a packaging box and a display box. FIG. 1 is a perspective view at the time of distribution of the product storage body according to the present embodiment, and FIG.
[0020]
The product storage body 1 includes a product storage box 20 and a set box 10 in which a plurality of product storage boxes 20 are stored side by side. In the present embodiment, the product storage box 20 is a product itself, which is a plastic container containing hair wax. This container is a jar-type container that has a square outer shape but is internally threaded and can be opened and closed by turning the upper part relative to the lower part. The product stored in the set box 10 may be the product itself as described above, but the package form in which the contents (for example, a small product such as lipstick) are individually packaged in a small box may be used. Of course. The set box 10 has substantially the same width and height as the product storage box 20 so that each stored product storage box 20 does not rattle during distribution or the like. It has a depth equivalent to the number. The front of the set box 10 is printed in consideration of the customer's eye catch.
[0021]
The set box 10 is a substantially cubic box having a front surface portion 10a, a rear surface portion 10b, left and right side surface portions 10c, 10d, a bottom surface portion 10e, and an upper surface portion 10f. Here, the upper surface portion 10f corresponds to a flap-type opening / closing portion composed of a plurality of flaps, and the commodity storage box 20 can be taken in and out through the opening / closing portion. The bottom surface portion 10 e is a crash type one-touch bottom so that the bottom does not come off due to the weight of the product storage box 20. Further, perforations 10g as shown by a one-dot chain line in FIG. 1 are formed on the front surface portion 10a, the left and right side surface portions 10c and 10d, and the upper edge of the rear surface portion 10b. At the physical distribution stage, the set box 10 storing the product storage box 20 is handled in the cubic shape shown in FIG.
[0022]
On the other hand, when displaying the product at the store (when displaying), the set box 10 shown in FIG. 1 is in the form as shown in FIG. 2, that is, the top of the box is opened. This can be realized by a simple operation, and the set box 10 may be divided into two along the perforation 10g described above, and the upper part of the box including the opening / closing part may be removed. The set box 10 in this form has a front surface portion 10a, a rear surface portion 10b, and a pair of side surface portions 10c, 10d standing vertically from the bottom surface portion 10e from four sides of the square bottom surface portion 10e. Yes. Further, the height of the front surface portion 10 a is suppressed to be lower than the height of the product storage box 20 so that the customer can easily see the exposed product storage box 20. At the center of the lower end of the front surface portion 10a, a protruding leg 10h that protrudes downward from the bottom surface portion 10e is provided. Furthermore, the pair of side surface portions 10c and 10d have a trapezoidal shape symmetrical to each other, and connect the front surface portion 10a and the rear surface portion 10b.
[0023]
Each product storage box 20 is a plastic box having a horizontally long rectangular parallelepiped shape, and stores products to be individually packaged therein. Moreover, the label 21 is affixed on the front upper part of each product storage box 20 in a form protruding upward from the upper part of the box 20. The label 21 is obtained by cutting a flexible sheet material (for example, a plastic film) into a predetermined shape. In addition, an advertisement (catch copy or the like) or an explanation (product content, precautions, or the like) related to the individually mounted product is printed on the printing surface of the label 21. The label 21 is easily bent by the flexibility that is a characteristic of the material, and has an appropriate restoring force.
[0024]
FIG. 3 is a plan development view of the set box 10. The set box 10 is formed by cutting out a piece of paper and bonding predetermined portions. In addition, in the same figure, the site | part shown with the code | symbol with a dash (') shows the site | part cut off by the perforation 10g at the time of a display (same also about FIG. 10 mentioned later). The front surface portion 10a is connected to the right side surface portion 10d via the right bent ruled line and is connected to the left side surface portion 10c via the left bent ruled line. Moreover, in order to form the protrusion leg 10h mentioned above in the center of the lower end of the front part 10a, the U-shaped cut line is contained, and the bent ruled line provided on the right and left of this cut line is inserted. The front part 10a and the one-touch bottom piece 10i are connected. The one-touch bottom piece 10i is engaged with the other one-touch bottom pieces 10j to 10m to constitute the bottom surface portion 10e shown in FIG. On the other hand, the front surface portion 10a is connected to the first side flap 10q via a bent ruled line at the upper end. This side flap 10q constitutes a flap-type opening / closing portion together with flaps 10f and 10r described later.
[0025]
The right side surface portion 10d is connected to the one-touch bottom piece 10j via the lower end bent ruled line and is connected to the upper surface portion 10f via the upper end bent ruled line. The upper surface portion 10f corresponds to the main flap in relation to the side flaps 10q and 10r, and hence is referred to as a main flap 10f hereinafter. The main flap 10f is further provided with an insertion piece 10p via a bent ruled line at the upper end. On the other hand, the left side surface portion 10c is connected to the one-touch bottom piece 10k via a lower bent ruled line and is connected to the rear surface portion 10b via a left end bent ruled line. The rear surface portion 10b is connected to the one-touch bottom piece 10m via a lower end bent ruled line, and is connected to the adhesive margin piece 10s via a left end bent ruled line. Furthermore, the upper end of the rear surface portion 10b is connected to the second side flap 10r via a bent ruled line.
[0026]
The extension length L1 of the first side flap 10q is longer than the extension length L2 of the second side flap 10r. Specifically, the extension length L1 of the first side flap 10q is longer than the distance L from the front surface portion 10a of the set box 10 to the last row label 21c as shown in FIG.
[0027]
Next, a method for manufacturing the product storage body 1 shown in FIG. 1 will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 3, the set box 10 is assembled by bending a plane paper cut into a predetermined shape and bonding predetermined portions. Specifically, the adjacent surfaces are bent at a folding ruled line so as to form a right angle, and the adhesive margin piece 10s and the free end of the right side surface portion 10d are bonded over the entire length in the vertical direction. And an appropriate location is adhere | attached and the four one-touch bottom pieces 10i-10m are engaged. In this way, by setting the bottom surface portion 10e of the set box 10 to a one-touch bottom, the set box 10 can be easily assembled using cartoner as in a normal assembly operation.
[0028]
FIG. 4 is an explanatory view of the opening / closing part of the assembled set box 10. The opening / closing part is composed of three flaps 10f, 10q, and 10r. The pair of side flaps 10q and 10r extends in the front and rear direction of the set box 10, the first side flap 10q extends from the front to the rear, and the second side flap 10r extends from the rear to the front. is doing. The main flap 10f extends in the lateral direction of the set box 10, from right to left in this embodiment.
[0029]
Next, as shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of product storage boxes 20 are stored side by side in the set box 10 with the opening / closing part at the top of the set box 10 being opened. In this state, the label 21 protrudes upward from the upper part of each product storage box 20.
[0030]
Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the first side flap 10q is curved outward and then closed from the front to the rear of the set box 10. The side flap 10q comes into contact with the labels 21a to 21c in the order of the label 21a in the front row, the label 21b in the middle row, and the label 21c in the last row. As the flap 10q closes, the labels 21a to 21c protruding upward are gradually deformed (fall down) in the lateral direction (rear side in the present embodiment) without being crushed. When the flap 10q is completely closed, the labels 21a to 21c are finally in a state of being uniformly deformed (pressed down) rearward as shown in FIG. By bending and displacing the flap 10q, the falling directions of the labels 21a to 21c become uniform, and the load applied to the labels 21a to 21c also becomes continuous. As a result, when the flap 10q is closed, it is possible to prevent appearance defects such as folding or wrinkling on the printing surfaces of the labels 21a to 21c or the falling directions falling apart.
[0031]
Finally, the remaining flaps 10r and 10f are closed. Specifically, first, the second side flap 10r is overlaid on the first side flap 10q. Next, after the main flaps 10f are stacked, the insertion piece 10p at the end of the main flap 10f is inserted into the gap on the left side surface part 10c side. The product storage body 1 shown in FIG. 1 is completed by the series of operations described above.
[0032]
Since the product storage body 1 according to the present embodiment is handled in the state of FIG. 1 at the physical distribution stage, the capacity of the set box 10 can be reduced. Conventionally, when a protruding portion such as a label 21 is provided on the upper part of the product storage box 20, since the interior space of the set box 10 has a margin corresponding to the rising dimension of the label 21, the capacity of the set box 10 is increased. There was an inconvenience of increasing. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the flexible label 21 is deformed by the pressing force of the side flap 10q, and finally the storage form is pushed down. Thereby, in the state where the upper part of the set box 10 is not removed and the opening / closing part is closed, the internal space of the set box 10 can be reduced by the amount of deformation of the label 21. As a result, it is possible to save the space of the set box 10 in the distribution stage, and it is possible to suppress an increase in distribution cost.
[0033]
In addition, when the upper part of the set box 10 including the opening / closing part is removed or when the opening / closing part of the set box 10 is opened, the label 21 that has been moved backward by pressing the side flap 10q is restored by the material of the label 21 itself. Stands upward by force. Since the label 21 is bent uniformly in one direction, even if some bends remain, the state at the time of restoration (the degree of bending and the direction of bending) becomes substantially uniform. Therefore, the appearance at the time of display is not impaired. Furthermore, workability can be improved by minimizing the number of packaging material parts and facilitating the setting work.
[0034]
In particular, in the present embodiment, the label 21 is pushed backward by the first side flap 10q extending from the front of the set box 10 toward the rear. Therefore, when the label 21 is returned to the original state, the label 21 is always upright or slightly tilted backward, and does not tilt forward. As a result, the printed surface of the label 21 can be effectively shown to the customer who views the product from the front of the set box 10, and the customer's eye-catching effect on the stored items can be enhanced.
[0035]
Furthermore, the lower end of the front surface portion 10a of the set box 10 is provided with a projecting leg 10h extending downward from the bottom surface portion 10e. Thereby, since the bottom face part 10e inclines below from the front of the set box 10 to the back, each goods storage box 20 inclines backward according to this inclination. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent the displayed product storage box 20 from being moved forward, and to display the notation and decoration printed on the front surface of the product storage box 20 so that the customer can see them well.
[0036]
As a modification of the flap that presses the labels 21a to 21c (corresponding to the first side flap 10q in the present embodiment), as shown in FIG. 8, a folding perpendicular to the extending direction of the flap 10q is provided. At least one curve ruled line 22 may be provided. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, at least one perforation 23 perpendicular to the extending direction of the flap 10q may be provided. Thereby, since the bending deformation of the flap 10q is further facilitated, it is possible to more effectively reduce the occurrence of defective appearance of the labels 21a to 21c.
[0037]
(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 10 is a plan development view of the set box according to the second embodiment. The set box 30 is different from the set box 10 according to the first embodiment in the tip shape of the side flap 10t, and the other points are the same as the set box 10. Therefore, regarding the set box 30, the same components as those of the set box 10 shown in FIG. 3 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted here (the same applies to FIG. 11 and subsequent figures).
[0038]
The front end shape of the side flap 10t is substantially a letter shape. Here, attention is focused on the length (extended length) from the base of the side flap 10t to the tip portion. The extension length varies depending on the position of the tip portion, and the extension length L3 of the center tip portion A is the longest. Hereinafter, the tip portion A having the longest extension length is referred to as a “first tip portion”, and the tip portion having a shorter extension length than the first tip portion A is referred to as a “second tip portion”. Here, the tip part B at the end is the second tip part, and the extension length is L4 (L3> L4).
[0039]
A method for manufacturing the product container 2 shown in FIG. 11 using the set box 30 in the unfolded state will be described. First, similarly to the method for assembling the set box 10 described above, appropriate portions (the adhesive margin piece 10s and the free end of the right side surface portion 10d) of the set box 30 are bonded, and the four one-touch bottom pieces 10i to 10m are engaged. The opening / closing part of the assembled set box 30 is composed of three flaps 10f, 10t, 10r. The pair of side flaps 10t and 10r extends in the front and rear of the set box 30, the first side flap 10t extends from the front to the rear, and the second side flap 10r extends from the rear to the front. is doing. The main flap 10f extends in the horizontal direction (from right to left) of the set box 30.
[0040]
Next, a plurality of product storage boxes 20 are stored side by side in the set box 30 in a state where the opening / closing part of the set box 30 is open (state shown in FIG. 11). In this state, the label 24 protrudes upward from the upper part of each product storage box 20.
[0041]
The label 24, which is a protrusion, has a different upper edge shape from the label 21 according to the first embodiment, and has a substantially concave shape in which the upper edge portion a in the center is recessed. Here, attention is paid to the height (projection height) from the base of the label 24 to the upper edge portion. The protrusion height varies depending on the position of the upper edge portion, and the protrusion height H1 of the upper edge portion a in the center is the lowest. Hereinafter, the upper edge part a having the lowest protrusion height is referred to as a “first upper edge part”, and the upper edge part having a protrusion height higher than the first upper edge part a is referred to as a “second upper edge part”. Here, the upper edge part b of the end is the second upper edge part, and the protruding height is H2 (H1 <H2).
[0042]
On the other hand, the distal end shape of the first side flap 10t corresponds to the upper edge shape of the label 24 which is a protruding portion. Specifically, when the side flap 10t presses the label 24, the first upper edge portion a having a protrusion height H1 corresponds to the first tip portion A on the side flap 10t side. Further, the second upper edge part b having a protrusion height H2 corresponds to the second tip part B on the side flap 10t side. The protrusion height of the label 24 and the extension length of the side flap 10t are opposite to each other. The lower the protrusion height of the upper edge portion, the longer the extension length of the corresponding tip portion.
[0043]
Next, as in the first embodiment, the label 24 is pressed while the side flap 10t is curved outward, and the labels 24a to 24c are sequentially tilted backward. In the process of pressing the rearmost label 24c, first, the first upper edge part a having the lowest protruding height is pressed by the first tip part A having the longest extension length. In the initial stage of pressing, the second upper edge portion b having a high protruding height is separated from the second tip portion B having a short extension length, or stays only in light contact. For this reason, the rearmost label 24c is moved backward by pressing mainly on the first upper edge portion a having a low protruding height.
[0044]
Finally, the remaining flaps 10r and 10f are closed. Specifically, the second side flap 10r is overlaid on the first side flap 10t. Next, after the main flaps 10f are stacked, the insertion piece 10p at the end of the main flap 10f is inserted into the gap on the left side surface part 10c side. By the series of operations described above, the product storage body 2 using the set box 30 is completed.
[0045]
Also in this embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, it is possible to suppress an increase in physical distribution cost, to ensure appearance during display, and to improve workability. At the same time, in particular, in the present embodiment, by making the tip shape of the side flap 10t correspond to the upper edge shape of the rearmost label 24, when the rearmost label 24c is pressed, the label 24c is moved forward or crushed. Is effectively prevented. As a result, the direction in which the labels 24a to 24c are tilted becomes uniform, and appearance defects can be prevented, and the eye catching effect can be further improved in combination with the design effect resulting from the shape of the label 24. .
[0046]
This point will be described in detail. In general, as the protruding height of the label 24 is higher, the standing property of the flexible label 24 tends to become unstable. Therefore, from the viewpoint of making the direction in which the label 24 tilts uniform, it is disadvantageous to press the label 24 from a higher position, and it is preferable to press a portion near the base of the label 24. Further, when the label 24 is formed separately from the product storage box 20, the label 24 is easily curled due to the winding direction of the label paper at the time of formation / shipping, the thickness / material of the label 24, and the like. When the curled label 24 is attached to the upper part of the product storage box 20, the label 24 stands while curving forward. The amount of forward displacement of the label 24 is small at the base portion of the label 24 and increases as it goes upward. Therefore, in order to appropriately tilt the label 24 bent forward, it is disadvantageous to press the label 24 from a high position, and it is preferable to press a portion near the base of the label 24.
[0047]
Therefore, in the present embodiment, attention is paid to the rearmost label 24c pressed from the highest position among the labels 24a to 24c (hence, the crushing easily occurs), and the side flap is pressed to press the lower side as much as possible. The tip shape of 10t is devised. In the process in which the side flap 10t presses the label 24c, first, only the first tip end portion A (center sharp portion) of the side flap 10t is the first upper edge portion a (center recessed portion) of the label 24c. (Other parts B and b do not contact each other). On the other hand, with respect to the upper edge shape of the label 24c, the first upper edge portion a that contacts the first tip portion A is formed lower than the second upper edge portion b. Therefore, the label 24c is pressed at a position lower by ΔH (= H2−H1) than the highest position in the protruding height direction. Since the pressing position of the label 24c has decreased by ΔH, the uprightness of the flexible label 24c is stabilized correspondingly, and the amount of forward displacement of the label 24c due to curling is also reduced. As a result, as compared with the first embodiment, the possibility that the label 24c is moved forward or crushed can be more effectively reduced.
[0048]
In the above-described embodiment, the tip shape of the side flap 10t is substantially square, but the present invention is not limited to this. This tip shape can be arbitrarily set according to the upper edge shape of the label 24 as long as the above-described action is produced by cooperation with the upper edge shape of the label 24c.
[0049]
As a modified example of the side flap, as shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B, both sides (first tip portions A and A ′) of the tip portion are pointed and the center portion (second tip portion B). ) Are substantially concave side flaps 10u and 10v. If the extension lengths of the first tip portions A and A ′ are L5 and L5 ′, respectively, and the extension length of the second tip portion B is L6, then L5 and L5 ′> L6. In this case, as shown in FIG. 13A, the upper edge shape of the corresponding label 25 is such that the upper edge portions (first upper edge portions a, a ′) on both sides are depressed and the upper edge portion in the center. It becomes a substantially convex shape in which the (second upper edge portion b) protrudes. If the protruding heights of the first upper edge portions a and a ′ are H3 and H3 ′, and the protruding height of the second upper edge portion b is H4, H3 and H3 ′ <H4.

(Third embodiment)
FIG. 14 is an explanatory view showing a side flap according to the third embodiment. The side flap 10x is provided with a plurality of cuts 11a and 11b, and each cut 11a and 11b corresponds to each label 24 in position. The cut shape of each of the cuts 11a and 11b is substantially hemispherical like the tip shape of the side flap 10t. Here, attention is paid to each distance from the base of the side flap 10x to the cuts 11a and 11b. For example, regarding the cut 11a, this distance varies depending on the position of the cut portion, and the distance L3a of the central cut portion A1 is the longest. Hereinafter, the cut portion A1 having the longest distance is referred to as a “first cut portion”, and the cut portion having a shorter distance than the first cut portion A1 is referred to as a “second cut portion”. Here, the cut portion B1 at the end is the second cut portion, and the extension length is L4a (L3a> L4a). Similarly, regarding the cut 11b, the distance of the first cut site A2 is L3b, and the distance of the second cut site B2 is L4b (L3b> L4b).

The side flap 10y is provided with three cuts 11c to 11e corresponding to the number of the product storage boxes 20 and the storage position. The cutting edge 11c has a first tip portion A3 and a second tip portion B3. When the side flap 10y is curved, the notch 11c stands up in an oblique direction from the curved surface. The notch 11c presses the lower side of the rearmost label 24c by the same action as the first tip portion A and the second tip portion B shown in FIG. 10 or FIG. Further, the two front cuts 11d and 11e act in the same manner as the cuts 11a and 11b of the side flap 10x shown in FIG. 14, and press the lower sides of the two front labels 24a and 24b, respectively.
[0054]
According to this embodiment, it has the same effect as each embodiment mentioned above. At the same time, by providing the cuts 11a and 11b (or 11c to 11e) in the side flap 10x (or 10y), it is possible to more effectively prevent variations and collapse of the labels 24a to 24c.
