[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a packaging container for a blade unit of a copier, which wraps a blade unit of the copier.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Generally, a blade unit of a copying machine attached to a heat fixing roller device of a copying machine prepares a normal image by removing unnecessary toner from the surface on which the toner image is adhered. The leading edge (cutting edge) is required to have a very precise straight line shape in order to align with the surface of the roller.

Such a blade is made of, for example, a soft synthetic resin such as polyurethane, and is distributed as a blade unit in a state of being fixedly overlapped with one longitudinal edge of a metal L-shaped plate made of metal.

That is, as illustrated in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the blade unit 1 has screw holes that penetrate through the side edges 6 a, 8 a of the thick L-shaped plate 6 and the thin L-shaped plate 8. Then, one side edge in the longitudinal direction of the blade 2 is sandwiched between the other side edges 6b, 8b of the thick L-shaped plate 6 and the thin L-shaped plate 8, and the blade 2 is fixed by the screw 11. It is the one that was sandwiched.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a thin synthetic resin container is generally used as a container for individually packaging (so-called individual packaging) such blade units 1.

Such a packaging container holds the blade unit 1 in a state in which the tip edge of the blade 2 faces downward, and has a thick L-shape so that the tip edge of the blade 2 does not hit the bottom surface of the container. A container body 15 in which a holding surface 13 for holding the letter-shaped plate 6 and a concave portion 14 for accommodating the tip edge of the blade 2 are arranged and formed, a lid 16 for covering this opening portion, and a rectangular cardboard 17 for locking them. Consists of.

The container body 15 and the lid 16 are molded from a thin synthetic resin such as polyethylene film, and the cardboard 17 is placed on the side edge 6 a placed on the holding surface 13 via the lid 16. The wrapping edge 18 on the upper surface of the main body 15 was locked and packaged.

[0008]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the blade unit packaging container of the conventional copying machine described above is a synthetic resin molded product of the container body and lid, so the force for fixing the L-shaped plate of the blade unit is weak, and the entire container is There is a problem in that the blade unit is easily displaced when it receives an impact, and the tip edge of the blade comes into contact with the inner surface of the container and the portion is likely to be deformed.

Therefore, the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems and enables the blade unit packaging container of the copying machine to be stably held so that the blade unit is not displaced. However, it is an issue to ensure that it does not deform due to contact with the inner surface of the container during transfer.

[0010]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, a hole is formed by penetrating one side edge in the longitudinal direction of an L-shaped plate, and one side edge in the longitudinal direction of a soft elongated plate blade is formed into the L-shape. A container for enclosing a blade unit of a copying machine, which is fixed on the other side edge of the template in the longitudinal direction, and is longer than the blade unit and has an inner diameter larger than the width of the blade. An open groove extending in the longitudinal direction is formed in the groove, and both edge portions of the open groove are provided so as to extend to the outside of the cylinder with their outer surfaces facing each other. It employs a structure in which a pair of locking members that can be inserted into the holes are attached.

[0011]

[Action]

 The blade unit packaging container of the copying machine according to the present invention holds the L-shaped plate of the blade unit in a state in which the longitudinal side edge is sandwiched between the open groove edges of the tubular body. At this time, the blade housed in the cylinder does not come into contact with the inner surface of the cylinder because the cylinder is longer than the blade unit and has an inner diameter larger than the width of the blade.

Further, the longitudinal side edge of the L-shaped plate of the blade unit is locked to both opening edge portions by a pair of locking members penetrating the hole of the L-shaped plate, so that the entire container is covered. The blade unit is not displaced even when it receives a relatively large impact.

[0013]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the embodiment is a packaging container for a blade unit of a copying machine, which is longer than the blade unit 1 and has an inner diameter larger than the width of the blade 2. An open groove 4 extending in the longitudinal direction is formed in a cylindrical body 3 made of synthetic resin, and both edge portions 5 of the open groove 4 are provided so as to extend outside the cylindrical body 3 with their outer surfaces facing each other. 5, a pair of male and female locking pieces 9 and 10 elastically engageable with each other through a hole 7 formed in a thick L-shaped plate 6 at a predetermined position. A stop member is attached.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the blade unit 1 has holes 7 formed at four positions on the left and right sides of the longitudinal side edge 6 a of one of the thick L-shaped plates 6. , One side edge in the longitudinal direction of the blade 2 is sandwiched between the other side edges 6b, 8b of the thick L-shaped plate 6 and the thin L-shaped plate 8 to form the other side edge 6a of these templates. , 8a are threadedly fastened at three positions in the longitudinal direction to sandwich the blade 2.

The cylindrical body 3 is formed by molding a synthetic resin such as vinyl chloride resin having a wall thickness of about 1 to 3 mm into a long cylindrical shape, and has a hinge 3 a cut out at an acute angle at a position facing the opening course 4. . Such a cylindrical body 3 may be made of a material whose elasticity is such that the open groove 4 expands appropriately, and in addition to synthetic resin, synthetic rubber, metal, etc. are appropriately selected and used. It is also possible to open and close the lecture 4 by its elastic force and omit the hinge 3a. Then, a cover plate 12 made of cardboard or synthetic resin is adhered and fixed to both end surfaces of the cylindrical body 3 in the longitudinal direction so as to seal the blade unit 1 inside.

The edge portion 5 is arranged so that the outer peripheral surface of the edge portion 5 rises to the outside of the cylindrical body 3 so that the blade unit 1 can be accommodated efficiently and the cylindrical body 3 can be miniaturized as much as possible.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the male / female locking pieces 9 and 10 formed on the edge portion 5 are fitted in the holes 7 formed on the blade unit 1. They are arranged and formed so as to match with each other, and the position and the number thereof may be appropriately changed. The illustrated male locking piece 9 has a spherical head, and the female locking piece 10 has four independent elastic locking pieces inside the through hole. As for the shape of the male / female locking pieces 9 and 10 described above, other known shapes can be adopted as long as they can be snap-fitted by utilizing the elastic force inherent in the synthetic resin.

In order to accommodate the blade unit 1 in the above-described embodiment, the side edge 5 of the blade unit 1 is accommodated while the edge portion 5 is expanded as shown by the chain line in FIG. The male locking piece 9 and the female locking piece 10 may be penetrated through the hole 7 to be elastically engaged, and finally the cover plate 12 may be adhesively fixed.

The blade unit 1 thus held in the packaging container has a plurality of pairs of male / female locks with the side edge of the L-shaped plate 6 in the longitudinal direction penetrating the hole 7. Since it is locked by the pieces 9, 10, it does not shift from the groove edge portion 5 even when it receives an impact. Therefore, the non-contact state between the tip edge of the blade 2 and the inner surface of the cylindrical body 3 is always maintained, and the packaging container can sufficiently withstand the shock during distribution.

[0021]

【effect】

 As described above, according to this invention, a groove and an edge portion having a predetermined shape are formed in the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical body, and holes formed in the L-shaped plate of the blade unit are provided at predetermined positions on both edge portions. Since a pair of locking members that can be elastically engaged in the penetrating state is attached, the blade unit can be stably held so that it will not be displaced, and even if a shock is applied during distribution, the tip edge of the blade will not contact the inner surface of the container. It has the advantage that it does not come into contact with and does not deform into a defect.
