Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to the invention of a can packing body, which can pack a large number of cans in a stable state, and which can be packaged with less damage and which allows cargo handling operations to be carried out efficiently. The aim is to provide the parts.

When transporting empty can bodies produced at a can factory or empty can bodies containing liquid or other products, it is conventional practice to use a large number of these can bodies as packaging parts. It has been commonly practiced since.

In other words, when multiple rows of cans are placed in multiple stages on a rectangular pallet for cargo handling using a forklift or the like, in order to make the packaging as compact as possible, the cans in each row of cans are The placement phase of the can bodies is alternately shifted, and the can bodies are arranged in an equilateral triangular relationship between adjacent rows of can bodies with the same number of can bodies. Regarding packaging parts, there are many complaints about cans being damaged or falling off during cargo handling or transportation, and therefore, care must be taken when handling them to avoid such accidents. There is a disadvantage that it is difficult to obtain sufficient working efficiency.

The present invention was devised after repeated studies in view of the above-mentioned actual circumstances. In other words, the present inventors have carefully examined and summarized the results of numerous works regarding the causes of complaints and accidents related to the conventional can packaging components as described above. The can bodies are located at the peripheral corners of rows of can bodies such as this, and in particular, can bodies are arranged so that the can bodies are located in an equilateral triangular relationship between rows of can bodies with the same number of can bodies in each row as described above. It was confirmed that most of the damage was concentrated in the corner can bodies that were positioned to protrude from the end can bodies of the adjacent can body rows. Therefore, the present invention proposes a can packaging body as shown in the attached drawings, in which a group of can bodies in multiple rows is stacked on a rectangular pallet 10 as shown in Figures 1 to 3. When placing the cans, the placement phase of each can body in the same number of can bodies in each row is alternately shifted, and the adjacent can bodies 1
The can bodies 1 are arranged so that they are positioned in an equilateral triangular relationship, and the can bodies 1 are stacked in multiple stages, which is the same as the conventional method described above, but in the present invention. Only the end corner can bodies 1a that should be in contact with the adjacent can bodies 1 at two points at the circumferential corners of the can body row 11 in each stage of can bodies are removed, and the can bodies 1a arranged in this way are removed. A top frame 3 is placed on the top surface of the multi-stage stacked can bodies with an intervening material 2 such as paper interposed between the can bodies in each stage, and a top frame 3 is placed between the pallet 10 and the top frame 3. It is proposed that a band 4 be hung on the top surface or the circumferential surface of the packaged body obtained in this way, and a cover 5 is placed on the upper surface or the circumferential surface as necessary, and its main parts are secured with an adhesive member 6 such as gummed tape. The rod display piece 7 is attached to the cover 5 or the like.

However, as described above, in a case where each row of can bodies 11 has the same number, removing the end corner can bodies 1a from some of the can body rows 11 is difficult to avoid. Although it is easy to think that this disturbs the counting and makes it difficult to count the packaging members, such a disadvantage is not necessarily recognized according to the results of the concrete design by the present inventors. For example, commonly used two-piece 250ml carbonated drink cans are stacked in 15 tiers with 24 rows in each tier, i.e., 1130 x 1440 mm synthetic resin cans commonly used for can transportation. When calculating the number of cans when stacking them on pallets or wooden pallets as described above, the number of cans in each layer is
There are 622 cans (26 cans x 22 rows and 25 cans x 2 rows), which is 9330 cans in 15 stages, and it is confirmed that there is almost no problem in calculating the number of cans.

That is, when using the present invention as described above, it is possible to form a packaging body consisting of a large number of groups of cans into a relatively compact packaging, which is the same as with the above-mentioned conventional method. In the large number of can bodies set up, there are no cases in which the can bodies 1 touch each other at two points on a plane in an equilateral triangular shape, and each can body comes into contact with each other at at least three or more points in an equilateral triangular shape. This is as made clear in Figures 2 and 3, and as a result, each can body 1 is joined to each other within a range of at least 120° in the circumferential direction, which is slightly different from the conventional method. Since there are no two-point joints within a range of 60 degrees around the can body circumference, the packaging becomes extremely stable. Since the protruding end corner can body 1a is removed, it is possible to completely eliminate the accident of can bodies falling off or being damaged during the assembly, stacking, covering, and banding operations of the packaging bodies and subsequent cargo handling operations. In other words, according to the results of practical cargo handling operations, there have been no complaints about cans being damaged or falling off during cargo handling or transportation, making it possible to carry out safe operations. This eliminates the need for the user to work at the same time, and the work efficiency can be appropriately improved. As mentioned above, since damage to the can body can be effectively avoided, it is possible to make this type of can body thinner, thereby reducing material costs and reducing the weight of the can body. This can contribute to making it easier.

That is, according to the present invention as described above, it is possible to make this type of can body packaging body compact, stabilize its packaging form, and prevent can bodies from falling off or being damaged during packing and handling operations, thereby making it safe. It is a device that allows work to be carried out efficiently and can also contribute to making the can body thinner and lighter, and is a highly effective idea in practical terms.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

The drawings show embodiments of the invention,
Fig. 1 is a partially cutaway perspective view showing the overall relationship of the can bodies and packaging parts according to the present invention, Fig. 2 is a plan view partially showing the arrangement of the can bodies at the corners, and Fig. 3 The figure is a plan view showing the entire arrangement of can bodies. However, in these drawings, 1 is the can body, 1a
is an end corner can body, 2 is an intervening material, 3 is a top frame, 4 is a band, 5 is a cover, 6 is an adhesive member such as packing tape, 7 is a lot indicator piece, 10 is a pallet, and 11 is a row of can bodies. This shows that.
