Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a packaging device for a lighting fixture, particularly a packaging device for a lighting fixture having an annular fluorescent lamp.

FIG. 1 is a side view showing a part of a conventional packaging device in vertical section. In the figure, 1 is an outer box made of cardboard or the like, and 2 is an annular fluorescent lamp as an object to be packaged. A plurality of lamps are stored in upper and lower tiers at the bottom of the outer box 1 by means of lamp protection members 3. . Reference numeral 4 denotes a circular instrument case as an object to be packaged, and a case support member 5 supports the central part of the outer box 1,
It is housed in the upper part of the lamp protection member 3, and its upper part is held down by a case holding member 6. Reference numeral 7 denotes a hat having a design as an object to be packaged, and is housed in the upper part of the outer box 1 by means of a hat resting member 8. The lamp protection member 3, case support member 5, case presser member 6, and shade rest member 8, which serve as the packaging device, are made of cardboard or styrofoam.

In the conventional packaging device configured as described above, the annular fluorescent lamp 2 is housed in the lower part of the outer box 1 by the lamp protection member 3, and the appliance case 4 is placed on the lamp protection member 3. The case supporting member 5 supports the outer box 1 in the center, the hat 7 is placed on the case supporting member 5 and held by the hat resting member 8, and the case holding member 6 is placed on the instrument case 4. The outer box 1 is sealed and the packaging is completed.

Since the conventional packaging device is configured as described above, the outer box 1 is separated into upper and lower parts by the case support member 5.
Divided into tiers, the lower part stores the annular fluorescent lamp 2, the central part stores the instrument case 4, and the upper part stores the shade 7.
The height of the outer box 1 is h ₁ +h ₂ =H, which has the drawback of requiring a large amount of packaging material and increasing logistics costs.

This idea was made to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional ones as described above, and by providing a cushioning material that integrally forms the case holding member, lamp holding member, and shade holding member on the bottom of the outer box. , a packaging device for lighting equipment that stores the equipment case and annular fluorescent lamp inside the shade, lowers the height of the outer box, reduces the amount and type of packaging materials used, and reduces packaging and logistics costs. is intended to provide.

Fig. 2 is a side view showing a vertical section of a part of the packaging device according to an embodiment of the invention (however, the cut planes are not on the same plane), Fig. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing the molding state, and Fig. 4 is FIG. 5 is a partially omitted perspective view showing the packaged state, and FIG. 5 is an enlarged exploded perspective view showing the packaged state of section A. In the figures, the same reference numerals as in FIG. 1 indicate the same or corresponding parts.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a cushioning material integrally molded and attached to the bottom surface 1a of the outer box 1 with a height of h ₁ using an elastic material such as urethane containing foam filler, and a fixing base 10 that is adhered to the bottom surface 1a; Instrument case 4
A cylindrical case holding member 11 formed to hold the annular fluorescent lamp 2, a lamp holding member 12 formed to hold the annular fluorescent lamp 2 on the outside of the case holding member, and a shade on the outside of the lamp holding member. A shade holding member 13 is integrally formed near the corner of the fixed base 10 so as to hold the lower edge of the fixed base 10. The case holding member 6 is made of a rectangular tube, and has a lamp holding portion 14 in the middle thereof so as to hold another annular fluorescent lamp 2.
Reference numeral 15 denotes a mold (female mold), which has a mold surface corresponding to the cushioning material 9, and is configured to inject a molding material from an injection port 16 for molding.

In the packaging device configured as above,
A mold 15 is pressed against the bottom surface 1a of the outer box 1 made of cardboard or the like, and a resin material such as urethane containing foam filler is injected from the injection port 16 to form the bottom surface 1.
A cushioning material 9 is integrally formed on a and is self-adhesive. This process can be easily carried out in the field.

The packaging method is to insert and fit the instrument case 4 into the case holding member 11 of the cushioning material 9 formed on the bottom surface 1a of the outer box 1, and hold it in the center of the fixed base 10.
An annular fluorescent lamp 2 is installed on the outside of the case holding member 11.
is inserted, engaged with the lamp holding member 12 and held on the fixing base 10, and placing the case holding member 6 holding the other annular fluorescent lamp 2 on the lamp holding member 14 on the instrument case 4, and then A hat 7 is placed over the outside of these, the lower edge thereof is engaged with a hat holding member 13 to hold it on the fixing base 10, the lid 1b of the outer box 1 is closed, the case holding member 6 is pressed down, and the seal is sealed. to complete the packaging.

In addition, in the above description, the structure of the cushioning material 9 is not limited to that described above, and can be changed. Further, although only one annular fluorescent lamp 2 is held by the buffer material 9, two or more may be held. Furthermore, the cap 7 is not limited to a square shape, but can be similarly applied to a round shape.

As described above, according to this invention, the cushioning material in which the case holding member, the lamp holding member, and the hat holding member are integrally formed is provided on the bottom of the outer box. When storing the annular fluorescent lamp, the height of the outer box is H-h ₂
= h ₁ , which makes it possible to reduce the height by about half, thereby reducing the amount and type of packaging materials used and reducing packaging and logistics costs. In addition, the cushioning material is integrally molded from urethane with foamed filler on-site and directly adhered to the bottom of the outer box, which has the effect of increasing the strength of the package and also increasing its cushioning properties.
