DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a packaging device made of a single corrugated cardboard for packaging, for example, a substantially rectangular parallelepiped ceiling-mounted lighting fixture embedded in a ceiling.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, a packaging apparatus shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 is generally known.

As shown in FIG. 9, this packaging apparatus has a box-shaped individual box 1 made of corrugated cardboard, and a pair of U-shaped cross sections made of a pair of corrugated cardboards respectively mounted at both ends of the individual box 1. End cushioning plates 10 and 10, a pair of corrugated cardboard materials 15 and 15 made of a pair of corrugated cardboards which are respectively mounted in the width direction in the longitudinal body portion 2 of the individual packaging box, And a pair of corrugated cardboard-shaped reflector receiving plates 30, 30 each of which receives a back surface 26 of a reflecting plate 25 housed in the appliance body, and is attached to both ends of the appliance body. And a pair of corrugated corrugated board-like reflector restrainers 35, 35, which are respectively attached to both ends of the reflector 25 stored in the instrument body.

[0004] The individual packaging box 1 has a body 2 formed in a cylindrical shape comprising a pair of side plates 3 and 3 and end plates 4 and 4 arranged opposite to each other, and a lower end of the body end plate 4 and An inner flap 7 formed through a crease line 5 formed at an upper end, and a crease line 6 formed at a lower end and an upper end of the body side plate 3
And an outer flap 8 formed through the outer flap 8.

A lighting device 18 packaged by a packaging device includes a box-shaped device main body 19 having an opening 20 opened downward,
And a reflection plate 25 built in the instrument body.

Further, at both ends of the instrument body 19,
The lamp socket support plates 21 and 21 are respectively attached, and the lamp sockets 22 and 22 are mounted on the lamp socket support plate 21 so as to face each other in a detachable manner.

Next, a procedure for packaging the lighting equipment with the packaging device will be described.

[0008] A pair of inner flaps 7, 7 provided before and below the body part 2 of the individual packaging box are bent inward and overlapped with the inner flaps, respectively. 8 are bent inward to close the lower opening of the body 2, and the tape 9 is applied along the abutting portions of the outer flaps 8, 8 and over the end plates 4, 4.

Then, the outer flaps 8, 8 and the inner flaps 7, 7 provided opposite to the upper part of the body 2 are bent outward, respectively, to put the individual packaging box 1 in a semi-assembled state.

First, an end buffer plate 1 is provided in both ends of the packaging box 1.
0 and 10 are mounted facing each other. Then, the instrument body 19 is inserted between the end cushions 10, 10 with the opening 20 of the instrument body facing upward and the center backing plates 15, 15 attached to both ends in the width direction of the instrument body, respectively. And attach it. The reason why the center backing plates 15 and 15 are used is that when the instrument main body 19 is mounted on the semi-assembled individual packaging box 1, the appliance main body 19 and the individual packaging box 1 are rubbed and the appliance main body is damaged. This is to prevent it.

Next, U-shaped reflector receiving plates 30, 30 are provided.
Are back-to-back and mounted in the width direction at the center in the longitudinal direction in the instrument body 19. Then, the back surface 26 of the reflector is placed on the reflector receiving plates 30, 30, and the reflector is stored in the box.
