Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a storage case for storing a plurality of product packages for holding products such as batteries under a mount such as a blister package, and an exterior case for storing the same. .

2. Description of the Related Art For example, a blister package known from Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-90758 is known as a product package for displaying products such as dry batteries in a state of being hung in a store.

As shown in FIG. 11 (shown in the horizontal direction in this figure), this blister package includes a mount portion 51 and a transparent synthetic resin coating portion 52 that covers the lower portion of the mount portion 51. The covering portion 52 includes a joint portion 53 that is joined to the mount portion 51 and a storage portion 54 that stores a product. Therefore, the product is held in the lower part of the package 55, the hanging hole 56 is provided in the upper end of the mount 51, and a copy such as the product name is printed on the upper part. At retail stores, the price tag is usually affixed to this upper space.

As a first conventional example of a case used when shipping such a product package 55 to a store, as shown in FIG. 11, for example, a dozen product packages 55 are stacked upside down and are compact. It is known to store in. However, when displaying these product packages 55 at the store, this case 57 is not used as an exhibition case, and at the store, this case 57 is used as the product package.
55 is taken out and displayed by another means such as hanging on a hook.

In the second conventional example shown in FIG. 12, the case 58 at the time of shipping can be used as an exhibition case at a store.
Can be divided into an upper case 58a and a lower case 58b by perforations. Therefore, if you separate the upper case 58a,
The lower case 58b becomes the display case, and the product package 55
Can be held upright for display. In this conventional example, for the purpose of exhibiting the product, the product package 55 is stored in advance in the same vertical direction and direction, or in the lower case.
The shape of the upper edge of 58b is elaborate. In addition, it is also devised that a protective pad that restrains the movement of the product package 55 at the time of shipping can be used as the spacer 59 so that the front-rear spacing of the product package 55 becomes substantially constant.

However, in the second conventional example, since the product packages have to be aligned in the same direction in the vertical direction, the case becomes large because the upper space in the case is occupied only by the upper part of the product package. There is.

In addition, the case is easily damaged during shipping at the perforation portion, and since the case must be neatly divided along the perforation at the store, there is a problem that it takes time to form the display case.

In addition, the spacer using the protective pad is a separate member, and it is necessary to remove this spacer one by one when loading or unloading the product package, which makes it inconvenient for retailers to price the product package, etc. There is also a problem that it is difficult to reduce the cost by automating the boxing work because the protective pad must be mounted on site.

Further, since only one display case can be formed from the case at the time of shipping, there is also a problem that it is difficult to divide a small lot for a store that does not want to have a lot of stock.

In view of the above problems, the present invention can store a product package in a small space, can easily put in and take out a product package, and can automate boxing work.
An object of the present invention is to provide a storage case for a product package that can be used as a display case that can be divided into small portions, and an exterior case suitable for storing the storage case.

Means for Solving the Problems A storage case for a product package according to the present invention is a storage case for a product package that holds a product at a lower portion of a mount part, and two storage packages for supporting a plurality of product packages so as to be vertically insertable and withdrawable Each of the package storage boxes is provided with a positioning portion that holds the front and rear spacing of the product package substantially constant, and adjacent side walls of both package storage boxes are continuous with a fold line at the upper end horizontal portion, In addition, in a state in which both package storage boxes are moved upside down with respect to the fold lines, the product packages held in one package storage box and the other package storage box are held in the other package storage box. It is characterized in that it is configured such that the upper part of each of them overlaps each other.

In the above structure, the two package storage boxes can be divided into two at the upper horizontal part, or the front wall of the package storage box can be opened except for the peripheral part and stored in the front part of this package storage box. It is preferable that the product held by the product package is configured to project forward from the front wall.

An outer case of the present invention is a tubular body having a rectangular cross section that can store the above-mentioned storage case in a posture in which both package storage boxes are in opposite directions, and a cut portion in a direction intersecting with a ridge line portion of the tubular body. The folded-back portion formed by the above is provided at a portion of the storage case that is in the stored state and that can be prevented from coming off.

Effects According to the storage case for a product package of the present invention, two package storage boxes facing each other in the upside-down direction are moved around the fold lines so that the corresponding side walls are aligned with each other, and are in the same direction. By doing so, one set of left and right exhibition cases can be formed. Also, since the display case itself has a positioning portion that keeps the front and rear intervals of a plurality of product packages substantially constant,
The product package can be put in and taken out without the trouble of moving the spacer of another member one by one as in the second conventional example. Therefore, it is possible to smoothly carry out the work such as pricing at the store and automate the boxing work at the production site.

At the time of shipping, this storage case can store these product packages such that the upper part of the product package held in one package storage box and the upper part of the product package held in the other package storage box overlap each other. Therefore, the storage space can be made compact accordingly.

If the two package storage boxes can be divided into two at the upper horizontal portion, the two package storage boxes can be divided into two display cases, and thus a small division is possible. Further, by opening the front wall of the package storage box and projecting the product held by the product package stored at the front of the package storage box forward from the front wall, the product can be delivered to the customer. It is possible to make it stronger and enhance the exhibition effect.

Further, according to the outer case of the present invention, by storing the storage case having the above-mentioned configuration in a posture in which both package storage boxes are in opposite directions, the upper portions of the product packages held in the both package storage boxes are superposed on each other. Since a plurality of product packages can be stored compactly as a result of being able to be restrained in a closed state, the outer case can be downsized and the packing appearance at shipping can be reduced. Further, the folded-back portion of the outer case is recessed and brought into contact with the storage case or the product package, so that the storage case can be prevented from coming off. The storage case can be pulled out by raising the folded-back portion and releasing the contact. Furthermore, since the outer case of the present invention does not have perforations as in the second conventional example, damage due to such perforations can be avoided.
