wherein the corner buffer member comprises:
a first area adjacent to the sidewall part in a second horizontal direction, the first area comprising a first outer lateral surface opposite to the loading target resting surface and extending along the sidewall part in a first horizontal direction perpendicular to the second horizontal direction, and
a second area which extends from the first area in the first horizontal direction and is not adjacent to supported by the sidewall part in the second horizontal direction, the second area comprising a second outer lateral surface opposite to the loading target resting surface and extending beyond the sidewall part in the first horizontal direction,
wherein, in an unbent state of the corner buffer member, the first outer lateral surface and the second outer lateral surface of the corner buffer member are coplanar and do not overlap the sidewall part in the first horizontal direction, and
wherein, in a bent state of the corner buffer member, the first outer lateral surface and the second outer lateral surface of the corner buffer member are not coplanar, and the second outer lateral surface of the corner buffer member overlaps the sidewall part in the first horizontal direction.
2 . The tray of claim 1 , wherein
the first area is surrounded by a first inner surface of the sidewall part extending in the second horizontal direction and a second inner surface of the sidewall part extending in the first horizontal direction, and
the second area extends from the first area to an end portion in the first horizontal direction.
3 . The tray of claim 1 , wherein
the sidewall part extends in the first horizontal direction along the first outer lateral surface of the first area, and
the second area of the corner buffer member is spaced apart from a portion of the sidewall part that extends in the first horizontal direction.
4 . The tray of claim 1 , wherein the tray bottom part comprises:
a base surface, wherein the base surface and the loading target resting surface are in a same plane, and
a coupling groove which is recessed from the base surface in the thickness direction, and
wherein, the corner buffer member is inserted in the coupling groove.
5 . The tray of claim 4 , wherein the coupling groove comprises:
a coupling part overlapping the corner buffer member in the thickness direction, and
an escape part which is recessed toward the first horizontal direction from the coupling part to be adjacent to the sidewall part in the first horizontal direction.
6 . The tray of claim 5 , wherein, in the unbent state of the corner buffer member, the escape part does not overlap the corner buffer member.
7 . The tray of claim 5 , wherein, in the bent state of the corner buffer member, at least part of the second area of the corner buffer member is inserted in the escape part and contacts the escape part.
8 . The tray of claim 1 , wherein the corner buffer member comprises:
a first extension part extending in the second horizontal direction, and
a second extension part extending in the first horizontal direction.
9 . The tray of claim 8 , wherein the second area is provided on the second extension part.
10 . The tray of claim 8 , wherein the corner buffer member further comprises a bending groove which is recessed on an inside of an intersection between the first and second extension parts.
11 . The tray of claim 10 , wherein the bending groove faces the at least one corner portion of the loading target resting surface.
12 . The tray of claim 3 , further comprising:
a storage compartment formed by the tray bottom part and the sidewall part and accommodating a loading target to overlap the loading target resting surface,
wherein the corner buffer member is positioned at an edge area of the loading target accommodated in the storage compartment.
13 . The tray of claim 5 , wherein
the coupling part further comprises a coupling protrusion which protrudes in the thickness direction, and
the corner buffer member further comprises a protrusion insertion hole into which the coupling protrusion is inserted.
14 . The tray of claim 1 , wherein the corner buffer member further comprises at least one bending slit which is formed as a cut line extending either in the first horizontal direction or in the second horizontal direction.
15 . The tray of claim 1 , wherein the corner buffer member further comprises a plurality of perforations.
16 . The tray of claim 12 , wherein
the loading target has a rectangular shape comprising a pair of long sides extending in the second horizontal direction and a pair of short sides extending in the first horizontal direction, and
the tray further comprises an auxiliary buffer member positioned in the sidewall part and facing at least one of the pair of long sides.
17 . The tray of claim 16 , wherein
the loading target further comprises a circuit member which is provided on at least one of the pair of long sides, and
the auxiliary buffer member faces the circuit member and is arranged in the second horizontal direction.
18 . The tray of claim 17 , wherein
the circuit member comprises a protruding area, a part of which is positioned to protrude outward from the loading target in the second horizontal direction, and
the corner buffer member faces the protruding area of the circuit member at a location apart from the protruding area of the circuit member in the first horizontal direction.
19 . The tray of claim 16 , wherein the auxiliary buffer member comprises a buffer part which protrudes in the first horizontal direction toward the loading target from the sidewall part to face the loading target, and a buffer support part which is in the second horizontal direction intersecting the buffer part and is fixed to the sidewall part.
