A technique suitable for a packing device for a straight tube type lamp such as a fluorescent tube or a straight tube type LED lamp in which a long substrate on which a large number of LEDs (light emitting diodes) are arranged is accommodated in a long tube body will be described below. .

  As a preferred embodiment of the packaging device of the present invention, a packaging device 1 in which two straight tube illuminating lamps 20 are combined will be described below. The straight tube illumination lamp 20 may be any of a conventionally used straight tube fluorescent lamp and a recent straight tube LED lamp. For this reason, since the structure of the straight tube | pipe type fluorescent lamp used conventionally is well-known, suppose that the straight tube | pipe type LED lamp 20 is demonstrated below and the packing apparatus 1 concerning it is described.

  In the straight tube type LED lamp 20, a long LED substrate 3 on which a large number of white LEDs (light emitting diodes) 2 are arranged is at least partially translucent in the longitudinal direction (tube body 4). End caps 6 having terminal portions 5 are attached to the left and right ends of the tube 4 and soldered to the terminal portions 5 to the LEDs 2. This is a circuit configuration in which predetermined power is supplied. For this reason, in a state where the terminal portion 5 is fitted and attached to a socket portion (not shown) of a lighting fixture for a straight tube fluorescent lamp that has been conventionally used, a predetermined amount is connected from the terminal portion 5 to the LED 2 via the lead wire 7. Electric power is supplied, and the LED 2 emits light.

  The straight tube type LED lamp 20 is mounted on a socket part (not shown) of a lighting device of a straight tube type fluorescent lamp disposed on the ceiling of a room, for example, and the tube body 4 is supported in a substantially horizontal state. In this state, the illumination side surface 3P faces downward and illuminates the lower part.

  In the tube 4, an LED drive circuit board 8 is housed in addition to the LED board 3. The LED substrate 3 is made of a flat synthetic resin, and a plurality of LEDs 2 are arranged so that one side surface (the lower side surface in FIG. 2) is the illumination side surface 3P, and the other side surface opposite to the illumination side surface 3P.

An end cap 6 is attached to the position. In order to achieve this attachment, the annular attachment portion 6B of the end cap 6 is formed with a notch 6D into which the pair of ribs 4B and 4B are inserted. As shown in FIG. 14, the diameter of the annular flange 6 </ b> C is slightly larger than the diameter of the tube body 4. As will be described later, in the state in which the straight tube LED lamp 20 is housed in the packaging device 1, the degree of contact with the inner surface of the packaging device 1 is made smaller in the tube body 4 than in the annular flange 6C. Thus, the external force on the tube body 4 is reduced.

  When the end caps 6 are attached to the left and right opening ends of the tube body 4, the LED substrate 3 inserted and supported in the pair of support grooves 4 </ b> A in the tube body 4 is placed in a predetermined position in the tube body 4 and positioned. For this purpose, a substrate stopper 6E is formed on the end cap 6 at the center of the notch 6D. Accordingly, if the LED substrate 3 is displaced in either the left or right direction of the tube body 4 by attaching the end caps 6 to the left and right opening ends of the tube body 4, as shown in FIG. The end 3 </ b> B in the longitudinal direction of the substrate 3 contacts the substrate stopper 6 </ b> E, and the LED substrate 3 is positioned at the left and right central positions of the tube body 4. This positioning is effective so that the light emission of the LED 2 can be obtained uniformly from the entire length of the tube body 4.

  As shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, inside the end cap 6, the inner region surrounded by the annular mounting portion 6 </ b> B is bent in the middle of the lead wire 7 so as not to protrude from the annular mounting portion 6 </ b> B. An engaging portion 15 for engaging is provided, and by this bending engagement, acting force such as pulling or bending of the lead wire 7 applied to the soldered portion between the lead wire 7 and the terminal portion 5 is absorbed.

  The locking portion 15 includes a pair of first locking portions 15A and 15A facing each other and second locking portions 15B and 15B. The first locking portions 15A and 15A are formed at the end portions of the holes 16A formed in the inner and outer partition walls 16 in the end cap 6, and the second locking portions 15B and 15B are formed so as to face the holes 16A.

The package is inserted and kept in this state.

  In FIG. 1, the preferable form of the packing apparatus 1 which concerns on this invention, and its assembly order are shown. A flat packaging member 30 formed of rectangular cardboard is prepared. As shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 2, the flat packaging member 30 is a flat plate having a long area in the direction of the tube axis having a width L1 in which two straight tube LED lamps 20 are arranged in parallel. The base 31A is located at the center. And in order to form the 1st tube surrounding part 31B which wraps one straight tube | pipe type LED lamp 20 continuously to one long side (equivalent to S1) of the both long sides of base 31A, it is packaging member 30. On the back layer paper 30B, there are formed polygonal lines S1, S2, S3 which are also called ruled lines with an equal interval W1, and similarly, the other long side (on the side of S11) In order to form the second tube surrounding portion 31C that wraps the other straight tube type LED lamp 20 continuously, the back layer paper 30B of the packaging member 30 has an equal interval W and a ruled line. Polygonal lines S11, S12, and S13 are formed. Further, at both ends in the tube axis direction of the base portion 31A, it is possible to stand up at substantially right angles as shown by solid lines in FIG. 2 at positions corresponding to the terminal portions 5 of the two straight tube LED lamps 20 accommodated. A portion of the leading edge 32A is formed by the notch 34.

  A locking slit 32D and two terminal part insertion holes 32C are formed in the rising side 32A by punching or notching, and a reinforcing side 32B is formed outside the two terminal part insertion holes 32C. Therefore, broken lines S4 and S5 are formed. The terminal portion insertion hole 32C shown in the drawing has a flap 32E connected to one side of the terminal portion insertion hole 32C by forming a long hole-like cut 35 (shown by a solid line 35 in FIG. 2) with one side left on the rising side 32A. ing.

  The front end flap portion 31B1 of the first tube surrounding portion 31B and the front end flap portion 31C1 of the second tube surrounding portion 31C are respectively formed with punching slits 31B11 and 31C11 at both ends in the tube axis direction. The first tube surrounding portion 31B and the second tube surrounding portion 31C have the locking portion 33 for maintaining a predetermined packing state, and the rising side 32A and the leading end flap portions 31B1 and 31C1 are locked to each other. It is composed of relationships.

  Finger-fitting notches 36 are formed at opposing positions of the first tube surrounding portion 31B and the second tube surrounding portion 31C that are symmetrical positions on both sides of the base portion 31A. The finger-hanging cutout 36 has an arc shape such as an arc shape or an elliptical arc shape whose diameter portions are in contact with the broken lines S2 and S3 and the broken lines S12 and S13, and the illustrated one is formed in an arc shape.

  As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 16, FIG. 17, FIG. 18, FIG. 19, etc., notches 44 and cuts 45 are alternately formed on the broken lines S3 and S13 at predetermined intervals. Has been. In this case, the notch 44 on the broken line S13 corresponds to the notch 44 on the broken line S3, and the notch 44 on the broken line S13 corresponds to the notched 45 on the broken line S3. It is a positional relationship arrangement. For this reason, as will be described later, since the two straight tube LED lamps 20 are packed by the first tube surrounding portion 31B and the second tube surrounding portion 31C, respectively, the notch 44 on the broken line S3 is formed in the notch 44. On the other hand, the cut and raised 45 on the line of the broken line S13 is fitted, and the cut and raised 45 on the line of the broken line S3 is fitted to the notch 44 on the line of the broken line S13.

  As described above, the corrugated cardboard forming the packaging member 30 has a configuration in which the intermediate layer 30C is bonded between the front layer paper 30A and the back layer paper 30B, and the notch 44 is formed on the lines of the broken lines S3 and S13. The front layer paper 30A, the intermediate layer 30C, and the back layer paper 30B are formed in a substantially rectangular and long slit shape. Further, the cut and raised 45 is formed in a low flat trapezoidal cut and raised shape by a cut 45A penetrating the surface layer paper 30A, the intermediate layer 30C and the back layer paper 30B on the lines of the broken line S3 and the broken line S13. Yes.

  As an example, as shown in FIG. 16, the cutouts 44 and the cutouts 45 are formed with lengths LA and LC, respectively, on the lines of the broken lines S3 and S13 alternately with the interval P1. Has been. The notches 44 are formed on the line S3 and the line S13 with the length LA and the width LB, respectively, so as to maintain a position biased toward the tip flap portions 31B1 and 31C1 from the line S3 and the line S13, respectively. In addition, it is formed at a position that is divided into two by the broken line S3 and the broken line S13. In the figure, the notch width LB = LB1 + LB2, and when LB1> LB2, with respect to the broken line S3, the width LB1 portion is formed on the tip flap portion 31B1 side, and the width LB2 portion is on the opposite side of the tip flap portion 31B1. It is formed. Further, with respect to the broken line S13, a portion having a width LB1 is formed on the side of the leading end flap portion 31C1, and a portion having a width LB2 is formed on the side opposite to the leading end flap portion 31C1. Further, the cut and raised 45 has a trapezoidal shape by the cut 45A so as to protrude from the fold line S3 and the fold line S13 toward the front end flap portions 31B1 and 31C1 with a protrusion length LD.

  In this configuration, as one embodiment, when the thickness t of the corrugated cardboard forming the packaging member 30 is 3 mm, LA, LC, and P1 are 40 mm, LB = 4 mm, LD = 2 mm, LB1 = 3 mm, By setting LB2 = 1 mm, it becomes easy to bend on the broken line S3 and the broken line S13.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 18, in the state of being bent at substantially right angles on the fold line S3 and the fold line S13, in the notch 44 portion of the tip flap part 31B1, the cut-and-raised 45 of the tip flap part 31C1 is the thickness of the corrugated cardboard. The LL = 2 mm portion of the length t = 3 mm fits in a state of being placed on the tip flap portion 31B1 on the broken line S3. Similarly, in the notch 44 portion of the tip flap portion 31C1, the tip flap portion 31B1 has a cut-and-raft 45 at the LL = 2 mm portion of the cardboard thickness of 3 mm, and the tip flap portion 31C1 on the fold line S13. It fits in the state that is on. Note that the length LA and width LB of the notch 44, the length LC and protrusion length LD of the cut and raised 45, and the interval P1 may be set appropriately according to the thickness t of the cardboard.

  Further, in order to make it easy to bend on the broken lines S1, S2 and the broken lines S11, S12, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 16, a predetermined interval P2 is set on each of the broken lines S1, S2 and the broken lines S11, S12. A cut 46 is formed. As described above, the corrugated cardboard forming the packaging member 30 includes the surface layer paper 30A for forming the surface layer, the back layer paper 30B for forming the back layer, and the corrugated intermediate layer 30C, and the surface layer paper 30A and the back layer. The intermediate layer 30C is bonded to the paper 30B, and the cut 46 is cut into the back layer paper 30B and the intermediate layer 30C, but is not cut into the surface paper 30A. For this reason, the cut 46 is called a half cut. By this half cutting, the cut 46 does not appear on the surface layer paper 30A.

  As one embodiment, when the thickness t of the corrugated cardboard forming the packaging member 30 is 3 mm, the length LE of the notch 46 on the lines of the broken lines S1, S2 and the broken lines S11, S12 is 40 mm, and the interval P2 is 40 mm. It is said. As an example of this change, LE = 30 mm and the interval P2 = 40 mm may be used. Thereby, it becomes easy to bend | fold on the line of broken line S1, S2 and broken line S11, S12.

  As described above, when the packaging member 30 is folded manually along the fold lines S1 and S2 and the fold lines S11 and S12, the working hand is placed on the surface layer paper 30A of the packaging member 30 in order to achieve clean folding. The reciprocating movement is made in the direction of the broken lines S1 and S2 and the broken lines S11 and S12. However, since the cut 46 does not appear on the surface layer paper 30A, the work hand is not caught by the cut 46 and the work hand is not cut. Thus, a safe and quick bending operation can be performed. Note that the length LE and the interval P2 of the notch 46 may be set appropriately according to the thickness t of the cardboard.

  As described above, the broken lines S1, S2, S3 and the broken lines S11, S12, S13, and the notch 44, the cut-up 45, and the cut 46 are each a broken line blade (also referred to as a ruled line blade) provided in the Thomson type, Thomson processing is performed by a notch blade and a cutting blade.

  Another embodiment of the packaging member 30 for increasing the strength of the packaging device 1 is shown in FIG. In the form shown in FIG. 2, the notch 44 and the cut-and-raised 45 are formed in the portion corresponding to the terminal protection portion 32, but the strength of the portion corresponding to the terminal protection portion 32 may be increased depending on the thickness and configuration of the cardboard. May decrease. When such a decrease in strength is a concern, as shown in FIG. 20, the cutout 44 and the cutout 45 are not formed in the portion corresponding to the terminal protection portion 32.

  In this case, when it is difficult to bend the portion of the fold lines S3 and S13 corresponding to the terminal protection portion 32, as shown in FIG. 20, on the portion of the fold lines S3 and S13 of the portion corresponding to the terminal protection portion 32, By forming the half-cut notch 46A similar to the notch 46, it becomes easy to bend along the fold lines S3 and S13 at this portion.

  The order in which the two straight tube LED lamps 20 are packed by the flat packaging member 30 shown in FIG. 1A having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIG.

  The flat packaging member 30 shown in FIG. 1 (a) having such a configuration is as shown in FIG. 1 (b), with the rising side 32A rising from the notch 34 at a substantially right angle, and both ends of the rising side 32A. Is bent substantially perpendicularly to the outside by the polygonal lines S4 and S5 to form the reinforcing side 32B. As a result, the reinforcing side 32B is positioned on the extension line of the base portion 31A. Further, for the next work, it is bent slightly inward at the portions of the fold lines S1, S2, and S3 corresponding to the first tube surrounding portion 31B, and similarly corresponding to the second tube surrounding portion 31C. Then, it is bent slightly inward at the portions of the broken lines S11, S12, and S13.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 1 (C), two straight tube LED lamps 20 are prepared, and as shown in FIG. In relation to insert the terminal portion 5 into each terminal portion insertion hole 32C formed on the rising side 32A, one straight tube LED lamp 20 is placed along the one long side (corresponding to S1) of the base portion 31A. Arrange on 31A. In this state, the outer surfaces of the end caps 6 at both ends of the one straight tube type LED lamp 20 are in contact with or close to the inner surface of the rising side 32A. Similarly, the other straight tube type LED lamp 20 is inserted into the respective terminal portion insertion holes 32C formed on the rising side 32A so that the two terminal portions 5 at both ends of the other straight tube type LED lamp 20 are inserted. 20 is arranged on the base 31A along the other long side (corresponding to S11) of the base 31A. In this state, the outer surfaces of the end caps 6 at both ends of the other straight tube LED lamp 20 are in contact with or close to the inner surface of the rising side 32A.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 1 (e), the first tube surrounding portion 31B is bent at a right angle toward the inside at the portions of the fold lines S1, S2, and S3, and the tip flap portion 31B1 is bent into two straight lines. It is formed by inserting between tube-shaped LED lamps 20. At this time, the engaging slit 31B11 is engaged with the engaging slit 32D and the engaging slit 31B11 is engaged with the portion 32AA of the rising side 32A corresponding to the base of the engaging slit 32D as shown in FIG. At the same time, the engaging slit 32D is engaged with the portion 31BB of the tip flap portion 31B1 corresponding to the base of the engaging slit 31B11. Thereby, the meshing between the rising side 32A and the tip flap portion 31B1 is maintained. By such bending, as shown in FIG. 7, one reinforcing side 32B is brought into surface contact with the inner side surface of the first tube surrounding portion 31B, and the reinforcing side 32B is stably held.

  By bending the first tube surrounding portion 31B along the broken line S3, the first tube surrounding portion 31B has a notch 44 on the first tube surrounding portion 31B side as shown in FIG. The base portion 31B10 of the tip flap portion 31B1 is exposed. Similarly, the base portion 31C10 of the tip flap portion 31C1 of the second tube surrounding portion 31C is exposed in the notch 44 on the second tube surrounding portion 31C side. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 17B, the base portion 31C10 of the tip flap portion 31C1 of the second tube surrounding portion 31C is exposed in the notch 44 on the second tube surrounding portion 31C side.

  In this state, as will be described later, in the state where the tip flap portions 31B1 and 31C1 respectively formed on the first tube surrounding portion 31B and the second tube surrounding portion 31C are combined in a superposed state, The cut and raised 45 of the second tube surrounding portion 31C fits into the cutout 44 of the body surrounding portion 31B, and the cut and raised 45 of the first tube surrounding portion 31B fits into the cutout 44 of the second body surrounding portion 31C. It will be a good relationship. Specifically, with respect to the broken line S3, the portion of the notch 44 having the width LB1 is formed to be placed on the base portion 31B10 of the tip flap portion 31B1, and the portion of the width LB2 is exposed from the notch 44. Formed. Further, the cut and raised 45 protrudes with a protrusion length LD in a direction that intersects the tip flap portion 31B1 at a substantially right angle from the broken line S3.

  Similarly, the second tube surrounding portion 31C is bent at a right angle toward the inside at the portions of the fold lines S11, S12, and S13, and is bent with respect to the fold line S13 by bending the second tube surrounding portion 31C. Thus, the portion of the notch 44 having the width LB1 is formed so as to rest on the base portion 31C10 of the tip flap portion 31C1, and the portion having the width LB2 is formed to be exposed from the notch 44. Further, the cut and raised 45 protrudes with a protruding length LD from the broken line S13 in a direction intersecting the tip flap portion 31C1 substantially at a right angle.

  With such bending, the tip flaps 31C1 and 31B1 are inserted in a pressed state between the two straight tube LED lamps 20 while the tip flap 31C1 is in contact with the tip flap 31B1. 7 and FIG. 18, in the notch 44 on the second tube surrounding portion 31C side, the LL = 2 mm portion of the width LB of LB1 = 3 mm, on the first tube surrounding portion 31B side. The cut-and-raised 45 is fitted in a state where it is placed on the base 31C10 of the tip flap portion 31C1, and the LL = 2mm portion of the width LB of LB1 = 3 mm at the cutout 44 on the first tube surrounding portion 31B side. Thus, the cut-and-raised 45 on the second tube surrounding portion 31C side fits in a state of being placed on the base portion 31B10 of the tip flap portion 31B1. Further, the engaging slit 31C11 is engaged with the engaging slit 32D. As shown in FIG. 7, the engaging slit 31C11 is engaged with the portion 32AA of the rising side 32A corresponding to the base of the engaging slit 32D. At the same time, the locking slit 32D is fitted into the portion 31CC of the tip flap portion 31C1 corresponding to the base of the locking slit 31C11. As a result, the engagement between the rising edge 32A and the tip flap portion 31C1 is maintained, and the tip flap portion 31C1 can be maintained in a state where it overlaps the tip flap portion 31B1.

  Thus, in a state where the distal end flap portion 31C1 overlaps the distal end flap portion 31B1 by bending the first tubular body surrounding portion 31B and the second tubular body surrounding portion 31C, the notch 44 on the second tubular body surrounding portion 31C side is provided. The cut-and-raised 45 on the first tube surrounding portion 31B side fits in a state of being placed on the tip flap portion 31C1, and the notch 44 on the first tube surrounding portion 31B side fits in the second tube surrounding portion. Since the cut-and-raised 45 on the side of the portion 31C is in a state of being fitted on the tip flap portion 31B1, the strength of the portions of the broken lines S3 and S13 can be maintained, and the appearance at the portions of the broken lines S3 and S13 Since the upper gap can be reduced, the appearance in this part is also improved. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the other reinforcing side 32B is in surface contact with the inner side surface of the first tube surrounding portion 31B, and the reinforcing side 32B is stably held. As a result, as shown in FIG. 1F, the packaging of the packaging device 1 that maintains this state is completed.

  In this case, the width L1 is set to twice W1. For this reason, the first tubular body surrounding portion 31B formed by bending at the broken lines S1, S2, and S3 at a right angle toward the inside has a cylindrical shape in which the left and right side surfaces in the tube axis direction form a square shape. Similarly, the second tube surrounding portion 31C formed by bending at a right angle inward at the broken lines S11, S12, and S13 has a cylindrical shape in which the left and right side surfaces in the tube axis direction form a square shape. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 7, the packaging device 1 has a right and left side surface shape in the tube axis direction that is a value W obtained by adding the plate thickness of the packaging member 30 to the height W1 and the width is twice the width W. It becomes a cylindrical body having a rectangular shape.

  As a result of the packing, the two straight tube LED lamps 20 are stored in a state of being spaced apart from each other by the tip flap portions 31B1 and 31C1, as shown in FIG. This is a state where there is no possibility that the straight tube LED lamp 20 of the book will collide.

  As described above, FIG. 1 to FIG. 7 show one form of the locking portion 33 for maintaining the overlapped state of the tip flap portions 31B1 and 31C1 and maintaining the tip flap portions 31B1 and 31C1 in an unopened state. As shown in FIG. 4, a locking slit 32D is formed at the intermediate portion between the two terminal portion insertion holes 32C, and locking slits 31B11 and 31C11 are formed at both ends of the tip flap portions 31B1 and 31C1 in the tube axis direction. Yes. The rising side 32A and the tip flap portions 31B1 and 31C1 are configured to be engaged with each other.

  In addition, when inserting front end flap part 31B1 and 31C1 simultaneously or in order from either one between two straight tube | pipe type LED lamps 20, when it goes to said fitting state, front end flap part 31B1 and 31C1 Due to the configuration in which they are inserted in a mutually pressed state, it is even more effective to maintain the state in which the tip flap portions 31B1 and 31C1 do not overlap and open.

  As described above, one wrapping member is formed of a rectangular flat plate wrapping member 30, and on the outer side of the rising side 32 </ b> A, an end portion where the reinforcing side 32 </ b> B abuts on an extension line in the tube axis direction of the base portion 31 </ b> A. Reinforcing part 31A1 exists. With the presence of the end reinforcing portion 31A1, the rising side 32A can be stably held by the reinforcing side 32B, and the state in which the terminal portions of the right and left end portions of the straight tube illuminating lamp are inserted into the rising side can be stably maintained. With respect to the impact applied to the left and right ends of the packaging device 1, the strength of the left and right ends of the packaging device 1 can be obtained by the end reinforcing portion 31 </ b> A <b> 1 and the reinforcing side 32 </ b> B, and the terminal portion 5 of the straight tube illumination lamp 20. It becomes the packing apparatus 1 suitable for protection of.

  As another form of the locking portion 33, the locking slit 32D is not provided, but only the locking slits 31B11 and 31C11 are provided, and the front end flap portions 31B1 and 31C1 are formed simultaneously or in order from one of the two straight tube types. When the LED lamps 20 are inserted between the LED lamps 20, the central portion of the rising side 32A can be fitted into the locking slits 31B11 and 31C11.

  As a preferred form, as described above, the first tube surrounding portion 31B and the second tube surrounding portion 31C each have a square tube bent at a substantially right angle, and the overall shape of the packaging device 1 is: The shape of the right and left end portions of the straight tube LED lamp 20 in the tube axis direction is rectangular, and a rectangular tube (rectangular shape) that is long in the tube axis direction of the straight tube LED lamp 20 is formed. For this reason, it is easy to handle when handling two straight tube lamps as one unit (one unit), and stabilization when placed on a floor or the like is obtained.

  In the packaging completion state of the packaging device 1 shown in FIG. 1 (f), the finger-hanging cutout 36 formed at the opposing position of the first tube surrounding portion 31B and the second tube surrounding portion 31C has one form: As shown in the Y part of FIG. 1 (f), two finger-hanging cutouts 36 are combined to form one circular cutout hole. This circular notch hole functions as a confirmation hole through which the tubular body 4 portions of the two stored straight tube LED lamps 20 can be visually observed. Further, the notch hole Y is effective for opening a package by putting a finger on the two finger-hanging notches 36 and pulling out the overlapped tip flap portions 31B1 and 31C1. On the other hand, two opposing finger notches 36 shown in the M part and the N part respectively have the packaging device 1 by hooking the finger of one hand to M and M and hooking the finger of the other hand to N and N. It is a handle that carries the entire unit stably. For this reason, the two notch 36 facing the M portion and the N portion facing each other is convenient for taking out and packing the packaging device 1 in the outer box 40 as will be described later. .

  In addition, in the packaging completed state of the packaging device 1 shown in FIG. 1 (f), the notch holes 37 generated by cutting and raising the rising side 32A are present in the vicinity of both ends of the packaging device 1 in the tube axis direction. Since the LED lamp 20 is formed at a position corresponding to the end cap 6, the end cap 6 portion of the packaged straight tube illumination lamp 20 can be visually confirmed from the cutout hole 37, and the packaged This is convenient for checking the tube-shaped illumination lamp 20 and visually checking the type thereof. The notch 37 extends from the base 31A of the packaging device 1 to the outer wall of the first tube surrounding portion 31B (the wall surface between the broken lines S1 and S2) and the outer wall of the second tube surrounding portion 31C ( By forming a length extending over the polygonal lines S11 and S12), one side of the first tube surrounding portion 31B and the second tube surrounding portion 31C are straddled from above in FIG. By hooking a finger of the hand to both end portions 37 </ b> A of the cutout hole 37, this becomes a handle portion that stably carries the entire packaging device 1. For this reason, the structure which abbreviate | omits the notch 36 for a finger hook of M part and N part may be sufficient.
