Abstract

A packaging apparatus includes: an inner box of which upper side is open and capable of storing a first object; an outer box capable of storing a second object and the inner box disposed on the second object, and having a pair of inner flaps and a pair of outer flaps; a protective portion formed in the inner box to protect the first object, the protective portion being disposed between the first object and a portion that is included in a facing portion of the pair of outer flaps and that does not overlap with the pair of inner flaps in a state where the pair of inner flaps and the pair of outer flaps are closed; and a pressing portion formed in at least any one of the inner box and the outer box to press the first object toward a bottom surface of the inner box.

Claims (22)

1. A packaging apparatus, comprising:

an inner box of which upper side is open and capable of storing a first object;

an outer box capable of storing a second object and the inner box disposed on the second object, the outer box having a pair of inner flaps and a pair of outer flaps;

a protective portion formed in the inner box and configured to protect the first object, the protective portion being disposed between the first object and a portion that is included in a facing portion of the pair of outer flaps and that does not overlap with the pair of inner flaps in a state where the pair of inner flaps and the pair of outer flaps are closed, and

a pressing portion formed in at least any one of the inner box and the outer box and configured to press the first object toward a bottom surface of the inner box, the pressing portion being disposed between the first object and a portion of the packaging apparatus other than the pressing portion in the state where the pair of inner flaps and the pair of outer flaps are closed.

2. The packaging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the pressing portion is configured by bending part of the inner box.

3. The packaging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein an upper end of the pressing portion is brought into contact with at least one of the pair of inner flaps in the state where the pair of inner flaps and the pair of outer flaps are closed.

4. The packaging apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the outer box has a rectangular parallelepiped shape that is long in one direction, and

the pressing portion is disposed at a center portion of the inner box in a width direction orthogonal to the one direction.

5. The packaging apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the pressing portion is coupled with the protective portion, and

a high friction member is provided for a surface of the pressing portion at a side of the bottom surface of the inner box, the high friction member having friction coefficient which is higher than that of the surface.

6. The packaging apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the protective portion is disposed at a lower side of the pair of outer flaps and the pair of inner flaps to be brought into contact with the pair of inner flaps, in the state where the pair of inner flaps and the pair of outer flaps are closed,

an upper end of the pressing portion is coupled with the protective portion, and

a lower end of the pressing portion is brought into contact with the first object.

7. An inner box of which upper side is open, capable of storing a first object, and stored in a packaging apparatus, the packaging apparatus including an outer box that is capable of storing a second object and the inner box disposed on the second object and that is provided with a pair of inner flaps and a pair of outer flaps, the inner box comprising:

a protective portion configured to protect the first object; and

a pressing portion configured to press the first object toward a bottom surface of the inner box,

wherein the protective portion is disposed between the first object and a portion that is included in a facing portion of the pair of outer flaps and that does not overlap with the pair of inner flaps, in a state where the pair of inner flaps and the pair of outer flaps are closed, and

the protective portion is positioned between the first object and a portion of the packaging apparatus other than the pressing portion.
