DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention mainly relates to sanitary products,
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a package for compressing and packaging a plurality of flat packages having poor shape retention such as a disposable diaper, and a method for loading the packages into the package.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a package made of a flexible synthetic resin sheet is used for this type of package, and when the package is loaded with the package, the package is packed with the package. Plural pieces are loaded in such a manner that they are stacked and compressed in the stacking direction and housed in the package.
In addition, the package itself often uses a cardboard, cardboard, or other board in a shape corresponding to the contour of the packaged object, in order to avoid deformation of the packaged item during transportation or stacking at the store.
It is used for a part of the above-mentioned package body so as to fit or correspond to the both ends of the package to be packaged.

[0003]

However, when the package is loaded into the package, the package can be compressed in the stacking direction as long as the resilience of the package can be ensured. In order for the package to be completely contained in the package, considerable space must be provided on the package side. For this reason, the packaging volume of the package increases, and effective compression packaging cannot be performed. Further, on the user side, since the above-mentioned packaged items are sometimes taken out of the package one by one and used, the package must be stored as a container for a long time. For this reason, in order to prevent intrusion of dust and the like, a lid portion is formed in advance at a position corresponding to the opening of the package, but when the quantity decreases, a void is formed inside the package. In this, there is an inconvenience that the remaining packaged goods are turned sideways and deformed. In addition, the appearance of the package as a container becomes slack and unnatural.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made based on the above-mentioned circumstances, is capable of sufficiently compressing and packaging, and in the course of use, avoids deformation of a packaged object for a long time, and has an appearance as a container. A package that keeps shape well, and
It is an object of the present invention to provide a rational method of loading a package.

[0005]

Therefore, in the present invention,
In a state in which the flat objects are stacked, so that they can be individually pulled out from the openings, in the package for packaging the objects to be packaged, at least a package body for packaging the objects to be packaged,
A portion of the packaged object facing the overlapped peripheral edge is formed of a stretchable sheet that can expand and contract in the stacking direction of the packaged product. In this case, the package body is composed of a board supporting the stacked both ends of the article to be packaged, and the elastic sheet having both sides attached to the edge of the board so as to connect the two boards. Is also good.

According to the loading method of the present invention, when the flat packages are stacked and loaded into the package from the opening of the package at the same time, at least the package is placed in the package. The part facing the stacked peripheral edge of the package is
The package is composed of a stretchable sheet that can expand and contract in the stacking direction of the package, and the package is stretched in the expansion and contraction direction, and both end portions of the package supporting the stacked ends of the package are attached to each other. In this state, an object to be packaged is loaded in the package and contracted to a required size.

[0007]

Therefore, when the object to be packaged is loaded into the package using the loading machine, the inner space can be expanded by extending the package side, so that the automatic loading is easy, and after the package is loaded, the package is closed. By the restoration and reduction, the compressed packaging state can be obtained to the required degree, so that effective compression packaging by the package can be realized. Even if the package is extracted from the package little by little, the remaining packaged items can be arranged and held in the package in order, avoiding the deformation, and the appearance of the package as a container. Can also be maintained in good shape.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described based on the illustrated embodiments. The package according to the present invention has a form in which the packaged articles A are packaged such that the flat packaged articles A having poor shape retention properties, such as a sanitary article and a disposable diaper, can be individually pulled out from the openings in a stacked state. (See FIG. 1). Here, the package 1 constituting the package is a stretchable sheet that can expand and contract at least a portion (four peripheries) opposed to the overlapped peripheral edge of the packaged object in the stacking direction of the packaged object A. Make up. This elastic sheet
For example, it is composed of a rubber knitted woven fabric using stretchable synthetic fibers, a synthetic resin nonwoven fabric having fine folds waving in the stretch direction, or a composite material thereof. In particular, in this embodiment, the package 1 is
The board 3 has a shape corresponding to the contour thereof so as to support the overlapped both ends of the board. For example, the board 3 is made of cardboard or corrugated cardboard. And an opening 1A for taking out the above-mentioned packaged object.
Further, a lid portion 2A of the same elastic sheet 2 is formed.

In this embodiment, the elastic sheet 2 has one end located at one corner of both boards 3 and 3 and its side edge is wound around the periphery of both boards 3 and 3 to form a suitable adhesive. By means of bonding, finally, the other end is overlapped with the end of the beginning of winding and bonded, so that the packaged object A is packed, and the packaged object A is loaded into the package 1. Is
This is performed as shown in FIGS. That is, first, the article to be packaged A is sandwiched between the sandwiching members 4 and 4 of the loading machine with a predetermined compression size A, and the upper surface of the article to be packaged A is supported by the lower end of the head block 5 for pushing (FIG. 3). reference). On the other hand, the package 1 is placed with the end portion of the winding (lid portion 2A shown in FIG. 2) before being bonded to the upper edges of both boards, and is initially set using the plate-shaped widening members 6, 6. Of the compressed dimension A at least,
Maintain a marginal width W ′ (≧ A) (see FIG. 4). Next, the lower ends of the holding members 4, 4 are placed on the widening members 6, 6, and the head block 5 is pushed to push the article A into the storage space of the package 1 between the widening members (FIG. 5). reference). Thereafter, while supporting the upper surface of the article to be packaged A with the head block 5, the widening members 6, 6 are pulled up, and are contracted by the restoring force of the elastic sheet 2 so as to have a desired compression size A ′, and the lid portion 2A is moved. Then, it covers over the opening of the package 1 and is sealed (see FIG. 6).

The above-mentioned loading method is one of the simplest possible examples, and it goes without saying that various other methods can be adopted.
