Is bent and engaged with the continuous fixing recesses 41, 41 of the first and fifth wall portions 23, 27 to assemble and form the buffer body 15.

In packaging the lighting fixture 1, a pair of cushioning bodies 15 are arranged so that the second wall portion 24 faces the sixth wall portion 28.
Is placed on the bottom of the lower box 12 and arranged.

Then, the end of the instrument main body 2 is opposed to the second
The engaging recesses 48 of the holding portion 47 are engaged with each other, and the longitudinal direction and the width direction of the instrument main body 2 are regulated and the positioning is fixed. Further, the shade 3 covered with vinyl 49 or the like is bent and deformed in the width direction of the buffer body 15 along the shape of the end portion of the shade 3 with the deforming portion 33, and the shape-preserving portion 37 is stretched to vertically move the shade. 3 is bent and deformed while inclining so as to cover 3, and the shade 3 is clamped and fixed between the deforming portions 33, 33 of the first holding portions 46, 46 of the shock absorbers 15, 15, and the longitudinal direction, width direction, and Position and fix by restricting the vertical direction. And
The connecting portion 9 of the shade 3 is connected to a connecting means (not shown) provided on the side plate portion 5 of the fixture body 2 to integrally attach the shade 3 to the fixture body 2, and the lighting fixture 1 is set in the longitudinal direction, the width direction, and the vertical direction. Restrict and position and fix.

When the deforming portion 33 is deformed, the half cut 32 provided on the back surface is deformed so as to expand, so that the deforming portion 33 is easily deformed.

Further, in the vicinity of both ends in the longitudinal direction in the lower box 12, a reinforcing body 51 is arranged by sandwiching a shade 3 between the legs 52 and 52 so as to straddle the housed lighting fixture 1. The upper box 13 is covered and joined so as to wrap 12 and the lighting fixture 1 is packaged by the packaging device 11
Wrap inside.

In the above embodiment, a pair of cushioning members 15 and 15 which are arranged to face each other in the outer wrapping body 14 to protect the ends of the instrument body 2 and the shade 3 are provided on one end side of one corrugated cardboard material 16. Is bent into a square tube shape to form a first holding portion 46, and the first holding portion 46 is continuous with the first holding portion 46 in the direction opposite to the buffer body 15.
The second holding portion 47 is bent and formed so as to project from the opposing surface of 46. Further, a semi-cut 32 is provided on the back surface of the opposing surface of the first holding portion 46 to form a deformable portion 33 that is deformable along the end shape of the shade 3, and is cut and raised inward to form one side. The shape-retaining portions 37 and 37 having free ends are provided with arcuate contact portions 37a whose rear surfaces are in contact with each other when the deformable portion 33 is deformed. An engaging concave portion 48 is provided which is cut out in a concave shape along the shape of the end portion of 2 to engage the end portion of the instrument body 2.

Then, the device main body 2 is provided in the engaging recess 48 facing each other.
The ends are engaged to regulate and fix the horizontal direction, which is the longitudinal direction and the width direction, to be positioned and fixed, and the shade 3 is sandwiched between the deformed portions 33, 33 of the first holding portion 46 facing each other. In this pinching, when the deforming portion 33 of the first holding portion 46 is deformed by abutting the back surface against the arcuate contact portion 37a of the shape-retaining portion 37 bent inward, this deforming deformation Since the facing distance of the portions 33 is slightly shorter than the longitudinal dimension of the shade 3, the deforming portion 33 is deformed along the shape of the end portion of the shade 3 and the shape-retaining portion. At 37, the deforming portion 33 with which the back surface is in contact is deformed so as to cover the end portion of the shade 3, and the horizontal and vertical directions of the shade 3 are regulated and positioned and fixed. Then, the instrument body 2 and the shade 3 are connected and integrally attached.

Therefore, it is possible to surely position and fix the lighting fixture 1 without using a conventional member for regulating the vertical direction.
The cost of the packaging device 11 can be reduced. Further, since the number of members can be reduced, the packaging and unpacking work can be performed easily and in a short time, and the processing work and the processing cost of the disassembled packaging device 11 after use can be reduced, and the efficiency of logistics can be improved. it can.

Further, by providing the reinforcing body 51, the width direction and the vertical direction can be further regulated, and the cushioning property is improved. For example, even if a load is applied to the intermediate portion of the outer package 14, the intermediate portion is crushed. Can be prevented.

Although the luminaire 1 has been described as being packaged in the above embodiment, the luminaire 1 is not limited to the package, and a pair of articles having different shapes can be packaged.

Further, although the contact portion 37a of the shape-retaining portion 37 is notched in a circular arc shape, it may be formed in a tapered shape.

Further, a half cut 32 is formed on the back surface as the deforming portion 33.
Although a plurality of elastic members are provided so as to be deformable, the same effect can be obtained by partially using flexible or elastic rubber or synthetic resin so as to be deformable.
