The shock absorber 35 has an arc-shaped groove 36 formed on the upper surface thereof, and the arc-shaped groove 36 receives the paper ring 18 projecting from the bottom of the bottom plate 16 of the main body 11 and the lower end portion of the cylinder. ing. Then, the lower buffer member 37 is inserted into the main body 11. The buffer member 37 is made of a biodegradable plastic resin and includes a protrusion 38 protruding upward.

  The disc player 42 to be packaged is first wrapped with a protective cloth 43 as shown in FIG. After that, as shown in FIG. At this time, a buffer member 45 made of a biodegradable plastic resin is disposed at a predetermined position in the individual packaging box 44, thereby protecting the disk player 42 from being buffered. Thereafter, the individual packaging box 44 is closed by the lid plate 46.

  FIG. 8 shows an operation of storing the disc player 42 stored in the individual packaging box 44 in the main body 11 of the fiber drum. That is, the individual packaging box 44 is stood upright through the upper opening 20 of the main body 11. The individual packaging box 48 and the package 49 are stored on both sides of the individual packaging box 44. The individual packaging box 48 is an auxiliary packaging box in which accessories of the disc player 42 are stored. On the other hand, the package 49 is a cover case that houses the transparent cover of the disc player 42.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 9, the middle drum 12 of the fiber drum is inserted above the main body 11. The intermediate body 12 is mounted so as to surround the individual boxes 44 and 48 and the package 49. Then, the lower end portion of the intermediate body 12 is fitted into the reduced diameter portion 21 of the main body portion 11.

  Thereafter, the upper cushioning member 50 is placed on the upper ends of the individual packaging boxes 44 and 48 facing the upper opening 24 of the intermediate body 12 and the upper surface of the package 49. After that, the lid 13 of the fiber drum is mounted, and the lid 13 is fitted to the reduced diameter portion 25 at the upper end of the intermediate barrel 12. As a result, the individual packaging box 44 in which the disc player 42 is accommodated, the individual packaging box 48 in which accessories are accommodated, and the package 49 in which the cover is accommodated are accommodated in the fiber drum.

  Thereafter, a buffer body 35 having the same shape as the lower buffer body 35 and having the same arcuate groove 36 is mounted on the top of the lid body 13, and the arcuate groove 36 of the buffer body 35 is attached to the lid body 13. The upper edge of the periphery and the paper ring 29 are received and engaged. As a result, the state shown in FIG. 10 is obtained.

  The operation of housing the fiber drum in which the pair of shock absorbers 35 are coupled to both ends in the axial direction in the packaging box will be described with reference to FIGS. The packaging box includes a bottom plate 54 and a lid 57. An auxiliary plate 55 is connected to the bottom plate 54 so as to be rotatable at a peripheral portion on the long side. In addition, an auxiliary plate 56 is rotatably connected to the peripheral portion of the bottom plate 54 on the short side. In contrast, the lid 57 includes a pair of long side plates 58 and short side plates 59. In particular, a pair of openings 61 are formed in the long side auxiliary plate 55 of the bottom plate 54, and a pair of openings 62 are formed in the long side side plate 58 of the lid 57.

  As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the axis of the fiber drum in which the pair of buffer bodies 35 each having a rectangular parallelepiped shape is mounted on both ends in the axial direction and on the bottom plate 16 side on the lid body 13 side is substantially horizontal. It is placed on the bottom plate 54 so as to have a proper posture. At this time, the buffer body 35 is arranged so as to be in a horizontal posture on the inner side so as to be in contact with the auxiliary plate 56 on the short side of the bottom plate 54. In this state, the lid 57 is combined from above. The combination of the lid 57 with the bottom plate 54 is such that the long side plate 58 of the lid 57 is positioned inside the long side auxiliary plate 55 of the bottom plate 54 and the short side plate 59 of the lid 57 is the bottom plate 54. It is combined with the outside of the short side auxiliary plate 56 (see FIGS. 12 and 13).

  Thereafter, the side plate 58 on the lid 57 side and the auxiliary plate 55 on the bottom plate 54 side are joined by a locking tool 65. As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the locking device 65 includes a tubular portion 66, and a flange 67 is integrally provided inside the tubular portion 66. Further, a rotating plate 69 is connected to the inside of the cylindrical portion 66 via a hinge portion 68 on the upper side. The rotating plate 69 is integrally provided with a pressing plate 70 so as to extend at a right angle to the side.

  In addition, a rotating plate 72 is connected to the inner side of the cylindrical portion 66 of the locking tool 65 at a lower portion via a hinge portion 71 so as to protrude upward. A plate 73 is formed at a right angle. An abutment plate 74 is further provided integrally with the presser plate 73. A knob 75 is integrally formed on the lower surface of the contact plate 74.

  14 and FIG. 15A, the rectangular tube portion 66 is formed with the opening 61 of the long side auxiliary plate 55 of the bottom plate 54 and the opening 62 of the long side plate 58 of the lid 57. Is inserted. Thereafter, the portion of the knob 75 is pushed to the right as shown in FIG. 15B, and the lower rotation plate 72 is rotated clockwise about the hinge portion 71. Then, the contact plate 74 integrally connected to the rotation plate 72 rotates while pressing the upper rotation plate 69. As a result, the presser plate 70 connected to the upper rotating plate 69 presses the inside of the long side plate 58 of the lid 57 and the contact plate 74 connected to the presser plate 73 of the rotating plate 72. The knob 75 connected to the back side of the cover 57 presses the inside of the opening 62 of the long side plate 58 of the lid 57. At this time, the knob 75 connected to the lower pressing plate 73 is pressed so as to prevent the rotating plate 69 from returning upward.

  Therefore, by the above-described locking operation of the locking tool 65, the long side auxiliary plate 55 of the bottom plate 54 and the long side side plate 58 of the lid 57 are coupled and locked so as to overlap each other. It becomes like this. As shown in FIG. 12, the short side auxiliary plate 56 of the bottom plate 54 is sandwiched and fixed between the short side plate 59 of the lid 57 and the buffer bodies 35 provided at both ends of the fiber drum. The

  Further, an operation opposite to the above-described locking operation by the locking tool 65 is performed, and the knob 75 is pulled to the front side, whereby the locking by the locking tool 65 is released, and thereby the bottom plate 54 is moved. The engagement between the long side auxiliary plate 55 and the long side plate 58 of the lid 57 is released, and the lid 57 is separated from the bottom plate 54.

  According to such a packaging apparatus, the disc player 42 includes the protective cloth 43, the individual packaging box 44, the buffer member 45, the buffer members 37 and 50, the fiber drum, the buffer body 35, and the outer box composed of the bottom plate 54 and the lid body 57. As a result, it is possible to expect a more complete buffering effect. Accordingly, it is possible to reliably protect the disc player 42 at the physical distribution stage. The protective cloth 43 enclosing the disc player 42 can be used as a protective cloth covering a case of a protective cover that covers the top of the disc player 42.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 16, such a packaging device has a feature that even when the posture of the outer box changes in the physical distribution stage, it can be restored to the correct posture by the rotation of the internal fiber drum. That is, the arc-shaped groove 36 of the buffer body 35 receives the protrusions formed by the paper rings 18 and 29 at both ends of the fiber drum, and the paper rings 18 and 29 move on the arc-shaped groove 36 of the buffer body 35. As a result, the fiber drum can be rotated in the packaging box composed of the bottom plate 54 and the lid 57.

  Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 16, the weight of the portion of the individual packaging box 48 that accommodates the accessories arranged below the individual packaging box 44 that accommodates the disc player 42 is increased, thereby increasing the center of gravity of the fiber drum. If the fiber drum is biased to one side with respect to the center axis of the fiber drum, the fiber drum rotates and moves along the arc-shaped groove 36 of the buffer body 35 in the packaging box so that the position of the center of gravity is always on the lower side. For this reason, the disc player 42 in the individual box 44 accommodated in the fiber drum can always maintain its vertical orientation in the correct posture.

  Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the illustrated embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the technical idea of the invention included in the present application. For example, the above embodiment relates to packaging of a CD player, but the present invention can be applied to packaging of other various electronic devices and precision devices.
