Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a storage box, which is a box body with less rigidity from the start, from deforming by not adding force to it by a method wherein load from the top is received by a vacuum cleaner main body and extension pipe, which have larger rigidity from the top, under a packed condition. CONSTITUTION:The title vacuum cleaner has a vacuum cleaner main body 5, accessories such as a hose 2 and extension pipe 3, etc., and storage box 1 to store the main body and accessories. In a packing case 11, the vacuum cleaner main body, storage box and extension pipe are separately placed in the longitudinal direction, and at the same time, the storage box is arranged between the extension pipe and electric vacuum cleaner main body, and cushioning materials 12, 13 such as polystyrene foam, etc., are arranged on the top and bottom.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to packaging for general household vacuum cleaners.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional vacuum cleaner packaging will be explained with reference to figures. In FIGS. 7 and 8, 21 is a storage box that stores accessories such as a hose 22, an extension pipe 23, and a suction tool 24, and also holds a vacuum cleaner main body 25 with an upper opening. At the front and rear of the storage box 21, storage box locking portions 28 and 29 are formed which lock onto the main body locking portions 26 and 27 on both front and rear lower portions of the vacuum cleaner main body 25 from the outside.

[0003] Reference numeral 30 denotes a case made of cardboard, with cushions 31 made of styrofoam on the top and bottom.
, has a lower cushion 32, and stands the vacuum cleaner main body 25 upright.

The figure shows another conventional example, in which a cushion 31
, 32 are arranged in the front and back, and the vacuum cleaner body is placed in the normal horizontal position.

[0005]

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Next, the problems of the conventional vacuum cleaner described above will be described.

[0006] In this configuration, when the cases are stacked, a load is applied from above, and in the first example, the storage box 21 receives the force, so the storage box 21 swells and deforms as it is. there were. Further, the second conventional example also has the disadvantage that the storage box 21 is similarly deformed because the vacuum cleaner main body 25 is subjected to force.

[0007] Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a highly durable packaging for a vacuum cleaner that does not deform.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The means of the present invention for achieving the above object includes a vacuum cleaner main body, accessories such as a hose and an extension pipe, and a storage box for storing them.
Inside the packaging case, place the vacuum cleaner body, storage box, and extension tube separately in the longitudinal direction, place the storage box between the extension tube and the vacuum cleaner body, and place cushioning materials such as styrofoam on the top and bottom. It is something.

[0009]

[Operation] The operation of the above first means is as follows. In other words, in the packaged state, the load from above can be received by the highly rigid vacuum cleaner body and the extension tube, so that the load is not applied to the storage box, which is a box body that cannot be made more rigid. This prevents deformation.

Embodiments Examples of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a storage box for storing accessories such as a hose 2, an extension pipe 3, a suction tool 4, and a vacuum cleaner main body 5. This storage box 1 includes a storage box lid 6, a storage box middle part 7,
The storage box is divided into a bottom part 8 and a middle part 7 of the storage box.
The claws 9 provided on the storage box and the grooves 10 provided on the bottom 8 of the storage box fit together to form a box body. The storage box 1 is packed by stacking these three parts.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a case made of cardboard, in which a vacuum cleaner main body 5, a storage box 1, and an extension tube 3 are arranged vertically. Further, the upper and lower parts have an upper cushion 12 and a lower cushion 13 made of styrofoam, which provide a cushioning effect in the event of a shock such as a fall.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. In the packaged state, the cases 11 are stacked during the distribution stage and are subjected to loads from above, but this is because the vacuum cleaner main body 5, which has strong rigidity, and the extension tube 3 can receive the force from approximately four corners of the cases 11. , it is possible to prevent force from being applied to the storage box 1, which is a box whose rigidity cannot be increased to begin with.

[0014]

As described above, according to the means of the present invention, the vacuum cleaner body, the storage box, and the extension tube are placed separately in the longitudinal direction within the packaging case, and there is a space between the extension tube and the vacuum cleaner body. By arranging the storage box and placing cushioning materials such as styrofoam on the top and bottom, it is possible to protect the storage box from easily deforming, and this has the effect of improving the durability, appearance, and usability of the storage box. Demonstrate.
