  By the way, as described above, when a packaging body in which an exterior article is housed in a packaging bag is suspended and displayed, the exterior article may be bent downward due to gravity and may be biased toward the bottom of the packaging bag. Thus, when the exterior article is out of shape, the appearance of the exterior article is poor and there is a possibility that the purchase intention of the prospective purchaser may be cut off. In addition, the vicinity of the bottom of the packaging bag swells greatly, and the space required for displaying the package becomes large. On the other hand, when the packages are stacked and displayed, the possibility that the exterior article will be deformed is reduced, but the space required for displaying the packages is further increased. Furthermore, the exterior article is a flexible product, and it is highly likely that giving a soft impression to the prospective purchaser will lead to an increase in purchase motivation. However, as described above, the exterior article is thinly folded into a substantially rectangular shape and thin. When stored in a packaging bag, a soft impression cannot be given.

It is a top view shown in the state where the exterior article and hanger of the package concerning a 2nd embodiment were developed.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a package 50 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The package 50 is obtained by packaging an exterior article 1, which is an undergarment (for example, shorts for light incontinence pads) used for wearing a diaper cover or an absorbent article, with a packaging member 3. In the present embodiment, the diaper cover is packaged by the packaging member 3 as the exterior article 1.

  The package 50 includes a hanger 7 in addition to the exterior article 1 and the packaging member 3. The hanger 7 is made of a relatively soft material such as cardboard, a plastic film, and a foamed resin, and can be deformed. The exterior article 1 is folded in a vertically long shape together with the hanger 7 while being held on the hanger 7. Specifically, the left and right side portions of the exterior article 1 are folded at a folding line that is substantially parallel to the vertical direction so as to overlap the central portion in the left-right direction of the exterior article 1. In the present embodiment, both side portions of the exterior article 1 are folded back on opposite sides so as to sandwich the center portion. The exterior article 1 may be accommodated in the packaging member 3 in a state in which the exterior article 1 is rounded together with the hanger 7 (that is, a state in which both sides of the exterior article 1 are rounded toward the center).

  The packaging member 3 includes a cylindrical portion 31 that houses the exterior article 1 and the hanger 7, and a substantially elliptical bottom portion 32 that closes the lower end opening of the cylindrical portion 31. A cross section perpendicular to the vertical direction of the cylindrical portion 31 is also substantially elliptical. The cylindrical portion 31 is formed of a transparent or translucent plastic or the like, and the internal exterior article 1 can be visually recognized. A weak line 33 extending along the outer periphery of the packaging member 3 over the entire circumference of the cylindrical portion 31 is provided on the upper portion of the cylindrical portion 31. In the present embodiment, the weak line 33 is a perforation formed by a linear short cut formed intermittently. In the package 50, an opening for taking out the exterior article 1 from the packaging member 3 is formed by breaking the line of weakness 33. The bottom 32 of the packaging member 3 is made of plastic or the like and has a certain degree of rigidity. For this reason, the package 50 can be self-supporting with the lower ends of a pair of side shape retaining portions 74 described later of the hanger 7 facing down. The cylindrical part 31 and the bottom part 32 may be formed as an integral object, or may be formed as separate members.

  FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the exterior article 1 and the hanger 7 taken out from the packaging member 3 (see FIG. 1) and unfolded (that is, the folded portion is extended to the left and right). The hanger 7 includes a substantially inverted J-shaped suspending portion 71 located at the upper end, and a hanger body 72 provided below the suspending portion 71. The hanger body part 72 includes a horizontal part 73 extending in the left-right direction from the lower end of the hanging part 71 and a pair of side shape retaining parts 74 extending downward from both ends of the horizontal part 73.

Become a mold.

  The pair of side shape retaining portions 74 of the hanger 7 extend in the vertical direction perpendicular to the left-right direction (that is, the longitudinal direction of the exterior article 1) in the left and right ends of the exterior article 1 in the unfolded state. 1 is in contact with the left and right end portions of 1. The side shape retaining portion 74 is provided from the trunk portion opening 11 of the exterior article 1 to the upper end of the leg portion opening 12. The lower end portions 75 of the pair of side shape retaining portions 74 are substantially U-shaped toward the upper side after spreading outward in the left-right direction. The pair of lower end portions 75 engage with the upper portions of the pair of leg openings 12 of the exterior article 1 to lock the exterior article 1. In the following description, the lower end portion 75 of the side shape retaining portion 74 is referred to as a “locking portion 75”.

  At a store or the like where the exterior article 1 is sold, the suspending portion 71 of the hanger 7 shown in FIG. 1 is hung on a hanging bracket or the like of the display shelf, so that the packaging body 50 covers the bottom portion 32 of the packaging member 3. Displayed in a suspended state. Alternatively, the packaging member 3 is placed on the display shelf with the bottom portion 32 facing down, whereby the packaging body 50 is displayed in a self-supporting state. Thus, since the hanging part 71 is provided in the hanger 7 and the packaging body 50 can stand on its own, the display method of the packaging body 50 can be selected.

  In the package 50, the exterior article 1 is held on the hanger 7, so that the exterior article 1 can be prevented from being deformed, and the exterior article 1 is folded vertically or rounded. Thereby, the space required for display of the package 50 can be reduced. Moreover, a soft impression can be given with respect to the purchaser of the exterior article 1 by accommodating in the cylindrical part 31 of the packaging member 3 in the state by which the exterior article 1 was folded or rolled up. Furthermore, since the cross section of the cylindrical part 31 is substantially elliptical, the impression of the exterior article 1 can be made softer.

  In the package 50, the hanger 7 includes a pair of side shape retaining portions 74 that contact the left and right ends of the exterior article 1 inside the exterior article 1, so that the left and right ends of the exterior article 1 are left and right. The outer shape of the outer article 1 such as falling to the center in the direction or the outer article 1 slipping downward is further prevented. In addition, by providing the pair of side shape retaining portions 74 with the locking portions 75 that engage with the upper portions of the pair of leg opening 12 of the exterior article 1, the exterior article 1 is shifted downward. This is further prevented. As a result, the outer shape of the exterior article 1 is further prevented. In the packaging member 3, as described above, the weak line 33 is provided in the cylindrical portion 31, whereby an opening can be easily formed in the cylindrical portion 31, and the exterior article 1 is packaged through the opening. 3 can be taken out easily.

  Next, a package according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 3 is a plan view showing the packaged article 1 and the hanger 7a according to the second embodiment in an unfolded state (that is, a state unfolded to the left and right). In the package according to the second embodiment, the shape of the hanger 7a is different from the shape of the hanger 7 shown in FIG.
