  The side plate 34 is a portion that becomes a side surface facing the side plate 32 when the instrument main body 21 is stored. The side plate 34 is connected to the top plate 31 and is bent so as to be substantially perpendicular to the top plate 31. The side plate 34 is located outside the side plate 33. The side view 34 has a substantially rectangular shape in plan view. The side plates 32 to 34 have substantially the same shape and size.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the packaging member 12 further includes a through hole 80 and a locking piece 82. In the present embodiment, the packaging member 12 includes two through holes 80 and two locking pieces 82.

  The through hole 80 is provided in the side plate 33. The through hole 80 is formed by cutting out a part of the side plate 33. The through-hole 80 is provided at a position that overlaps the locking piece 82 when the side plate 33 and the side plate 34 are overlapped with each other in a side view. The shape of the through hole 80 is, for example, a substantially rectangular shape.

  The locking piece 82 is a part of the side plate 34, and is formed by cutting the part inwardly. The locking piece 82 is locked into the through hole 80 by being inserted into the through hole 80 in the state of being cut and raised. Thereby, the side plate 33 and the side plate 34 can be fixed.

  The shape of the locking piece 82 is, for example, a substantially trapezoid. The lower bottom of the trapezoid (the shorter side in FIG. 6) is a fold line and is cut out along the other three sides. Further, the upper base of the trapezoid (the longer side in FIG. 6) is larger than the width of the through hole 80, for example. Thereby, after inserting the locking piece 82 into the through-hole 80, the locking piece 82 can be made difficult to come off.

[Holding structure of the instrument body]
The packaging member 12 has a structure for holding the instrument body 21 and restricting movement. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the packaging member 12 further includes a cut and raised piece 40, a through hole 42, and slits 44 and 45.

  The cut-and-raised piece 40 is a part of the bottom plate 30 and is an example of a second cut-and-raised piece formed by cutting and raising the part to the inside. In the present embodiment, two cut and raised pieces 40 are provided on the bottom plate 30.

Specifically, the cut and raised piece 40 restricts the movement of the instrument body 21 in the long side direction of the packaging member 12.

  The shape of the cut and raised piece 40 is, for example, a pentagon. Specifically, the shape of the cut and raised piece 40 is a pentagon formed by bending one of the oblique sides inward. The cut and raised piece 40 has a trapezoidal upper base (long side in FIG. 6) as a fold line, and is cut out along the other four sides.

  Further, an insertion hole 40a is provided in the lower base of the trapezoid (the shorter side in FIG. 6). The insertion hole 40a is a hole for inserting a finger or the like when the cut and raised piece 40 is raised. By inserting a finger into the insertion hole 40a, the cut piece 40 can be easily lifted and raised.

  The through hole 42 is an example of a second slit into which a part of the instrument body 21 is fitted. The through hole 42 is formed in the top plate 31. For example, the through hole 42 is formed by cutting out a part of the top plate 31. The shape of the through hole 42 in plan view is substantially circular, but is not limited thereto. The through hole 42 is formed in an appropriate shape according to the shape of the instrument main body 21, for example.

  In the present embodiment, the convex portion 21 b of the instrument main body 21 is fitted into the through hole 42. By fitting the convex portion 21 b into the through hole 42, movement of the convex portion 21 b, that is, the instrument body 21 in the lateral direction is restricted.

  The slit 44 is an example of a second slit into which a part of the instrument body 21 is fitted. As shown in FIG. 6, the slit 44 is formed by a slit 44 a formed in the side plate 33 and a slit 44 b formed in the side plate 34. The slit 44a and the slit 44b have substantially the same shape, and are provided at positions where the side plate 33 and the side plate 34 overlap when viewed from the side.

  The slits 44a and 44b are formed by cutting out a part of the side plate 33 and a part of the side plate 34, respectively. Although the planar view shape of the slit 44a and the slit 44b is an elongate rounded rectangle, it is not restricted to this. The slit 44a and the slit 44b are formed in an appropriate shape according to the shape of the instrument body 21, for example. The length of the slit 44a and the slit 44b in the longitudinal direction is shorter than the diameter of the illumination unit main body 21a.

  In the present embodiment, a part of the illumination unit main body 21 a is fitted in the slit 44. By fitting the illuminating unit main body 21a into the slit 44, movement of the illuminating unit main body 21a, that is, the instrument main body 21 in the lateral direction is restricted. Specifically, the movement of the instrument body 21 in the direction along the side plate 33 (and the side plate 34) and in the direction from the inner side of the packaging member 12 toward the side plate 33 is restricted.

  The slit 45 is an example of a second slit into which a part of the instrument body 21 is fitted. The slit 45 is formed in the side plate 32 as shown in FIG. Since the shape and function of the slit 45 are the same as those of the slit 44a or the slit 44b, description thereof is omitted.

[Accessory holding structure]
The packaging member 12 has a structure for holding accessories of the lighting fixture 20 and restricting movement. Specifically, the packaging member 12 includes a slit 50 and a slit 60 as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. In the present embodiment, the packaging member 12 includes two slits 50. The two slits 50 are formed point-symmetrically with the center of the packaging member 12 as the center point when viewed from above.

  The slit 50 is an example of a first slit into which an accessory of the lighting fixture 20 is inserted, and a part of the shade 22 is inserted therein. The slit 50 is formed across the top plate 31, the side plate 32, the side plate 33 and the side plate 34. Specifically, the slit 50 is formed by cutting out a part of the top plate 31 and cutting the support piece 52 provided on the side plate 34 and the support piece 53 provided on the side plate 32 inwardly. Is done.

  In order to cut and raise the support piece 52 inwardly, a cutout 54 is formed in the side plate 33. The shape of the notch 54 is substantially the same as that of the support piece 52.

  The support piece 52 and the support piece 53 are a part of the side plate 34 and a part of the side plate 32, respectively. The planar view shapes of the support piece 52 and the support piece 53 are, for example, substantially rectangular, and have substantially the same shape and size. As shown in FIG. 5, the support piece 52 and the support piece 53 are bent so as to be substantially perpendicular to the side plate 32 and the side plate 34. A part of the shade 22 is inserted into the slit 50 and supported by the support piece 52 and the support piece 53.

  The plan view shape of the slit 50 is, for example, an annular shape, but is not limited thereto. The plan view shape of the slit 50 is formed in an appropriate shape according to the shape of the shade 22.

  The slit 60 is an example of a first slit into which an accessory of the lighting fixture 20 is inserted, and a part of the cord 24 is inserted therein. The slit 60 is formed across the top plate 31 and the side plate 32. Specifically, the slit 60 is formed by cutting out a part of the top plate 31 and a part of the side plate 32 continuing to the part.

  In the present embodiment, the cord 24 is connected to the convex portion 21 b of the instrument main body 21. By fitting a part of the cord 24 into the slit 60, the movable range of the cord 24 can be narrowed. For example, the movable range of the adapter 23 can be narrowed by fitting the portion of the cord 24 near the adapter 23 into the slit 60.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the packaging member 12 further includes a cut and raised piece 70. In the present embodiment, the packaging member 12 includes two cut and raised pieces 70. The two cut-and-raised pieces 70 are formed point-symmetrically with the center of the packaging member 12 as the center point when viewed from above.

  The cut-and-raised piece 70 is a part of the top plate 31 and is an example of a first cut-and-raised piece formed by cutting and raising the part to the outside. The cut-and-raised piece 70 abuts on the accessory of the lighting fixture 20 to thereby restrict the movement of the accessory. The effect of the cut and raised piece 70 will be described later using a modification of the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, the cut and raised piece 70 may not be provided. That is, the packaging member 12 may be formed with cut and raised pieces and slits that are not used for holding accessories.

  The shape of the cut and raised piece 70 is, for example, a rounded square. One of the long sides of the cut and raised piece 70 is a fold line, and is cut out along the other three sides. The other long side is provided with an insertion hole 70a. The insertion hole 70a is a hole for inserting a finger or the like when the cut-and-raised piece 70 is raised. By putting a finger into the insertion hole 70a, the cut piece 70 can be easily lifted and raised.

[Placement of packaging members on the exterior box]
FIG. 7 is a plan view showing the arrangement of the packaging member 12 housed in the outer box 11 according to the present embodiment. Specifically, FIG. 7 is a view of the exterior box 11 in which the packaging member 12 is accommodated when viewed from above, with the top surface (top surface) of the exterior box 11 removed, similarly to FIG. 3.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the packaging member 12 is housed in a brace shape inside the exterior box 11. The bracing is a state in which, for example, the long side of the packaging member 12 obliquely intersects at least one side of the outer box 11 in a plan view. Specifically, the packaging member 12 is disposed so that the long side is parallel to the diagonal line of the outer box 11 (the bisector of the corners of the X axis and the Y axis). That is, the packaging member 12 is disposed along the diagonal line of the outer box 11.

  The top view shape of the packaging member 12 is a substantially octagon. Specifically, the top view shape of the packaging member 12 is an axisymmetric octagon with the diagonal line of the outer box 11 as an axis of symmetry. Four sides of the packaging member 12 are parallel to each side of the outer box 11, and the remaining four sides of the packaging member 12 intersect with each side of the outer box 11 at an angle of approximately 45 degrees.

  Four sides of the packaging member 12 parallel to each side of the outer box 11 are close to the outer box 11. Specifically, the gap between the four sides and the outer box 11 is smaller than the gap between the shade 22 and the outer box 11 as shown in FIG. Thereby, even if the packaging member 12 moves inside the exterior box 11, the outer surface of the packaging member 12 comes into contact with the inner surface of the exterior box 11, so that the shade 22 does not contact the inner surface of the exterior box 11. Therefore, the shade 22 can be protected from an impact or the like.

  Further, the instrument body 21 wound around the packaging member 12 is regulated so as not to move inside the packaging member 12. In the present embodiment, a part of the instrument body 21 protrudes outward from the packaging member 12 through the through hole 42 and the slits 44 and 45. Since the space 13 and the space 14 are provided in the protruding portion, the instrument body 21 does not contact the inner surface of the outer box 11 even if the packaging member 12 moves. Therefore, the instrument main body 21 can be protected from an impact or the like.

  Next, the side plate 34 is overlapped with the side plate 33 by bending the side plate 34 at a substantially right angle with respect to the top plate 31. At this time, a part of the instrument body 21 that protrudes outward from the slit 44a is fitted into the slit 44b. Then, the side plate 33 and the side plate 34 are fixed by inserting the locking piece 82 into the through hole 80.

  Thereby, as shown to (d) of FIG. 8B, the instrument main body 21 is wound in the inside of the packaging member 12. FIG. Since the convex portion 21b is fitted in the through hole 42, the illuminating portion main body 21a is fitted in the slit 44 and the slit 45, and is in contact with the cut and raised piece 40, the movement of the instrument main body 21 is restricted.

  At this time, the cord 24 is fitted into the slit 60. Thereby, the movable range of the cord 24 and the adapter 23 can be limited.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 8B (e), the support piece 52 and the support piece 53 are bent, and then the shade 22 is fitted into the slit 50.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 8B (f), the packaging member 12 is stored in the outer box 11. Specifically, the luminaire 20 is opened from the opening 11a of the outer box 11 in such a posture that the long side of the packing member 12 is parallel to the diagonal line of the outer box 11 so that the packaging member 12 is arranged in a brace. Is inserted so as to slide. Finally, by closing the flaps 11b to 11e, the lighting fixture 20 is housed in the outer box 11 together with the packaging member 12.

  In addition, the storage method mentioned above is only an example, and is not restricted to this. For example, the folding order can be changed as appropriate.

[Usage of lighting equipment]
Here, the usage mode of the lighting fixture 20 which concerns on this Embodiment is demonstrated using FIG. FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the lighting fixture 20 according to the present embodiment. Specifically, FIG. 9A is a perspective view during the assembly of the lighting fixture 20, and FIG. 9B is a perspective view after the lighting fixture 20 is assembled.

  When using the lighting fixture 20, first, the packaging member 12 holding the lighting fixture 20 is taken out from the packaging container 10, and the fixture main body 21 and the shade 22 are removed from the packaging member 12. Specifically, the instrument body 21 and the shade 22 can be removed from the packaging member 12 by performing the procedure shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B in reverse.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 9A, the adapter 23 and the cord 24 are inserted into the frame of the shade 22. Then, by combining the shade 22 and the instrument main body 21, the instrument main body 21 is assembled in a usable state as shown in FIG. At this time, for example, the edge of the instrument body 21 (for example, a part protruding from the slit 44 or 45) is locked to the inner peripheral part of the shade 22, so that the shade 22 is supported by the instrument body 21. .

  Next, by attaching the adapter 23 to, for example, a hooking ceiling body provided on the ceiling surface, the instrument main body 21 can receive power via the adapter 23 and the cord 24 and light the light source. The shade 22 and the instrument main body 21 may be combined with the adapter 23 attached to the hooking sealing body or the like.

[Effects, etc.]
As described above, the packaging container 10 according to the present embodiment is a packaging container for housing the lighting fixture 20 and is a cylindrical packaging member for surrounding and holding the fixture main body 21 of the lighting fixture 20. 12 and an exterior box 11 that houses the packaging member 12, and the packaging member 12 is housed in a bracing manner inside the exterior box 11.

  Thereby, the number of parts of the packaging container 10 can be reduced by surrounding and holding the fixture main body 21 of the lighting fixture 20. In the present embodiment, the luminaire 20 can be packaged with only two points of the outer box 11 and the packaging member 12. In addition, since the packaging member 12 is arranged in a bracing manner inside the outer box 11, even a small packaging member 12 is restricted from moving in the outer box 11. Therefore, the lighting fixture 20 can be protected while reducing the size of the packaging member 12. Thus, according to the packaging container 10 which concerns on this Embodiment, the lighting fixture 20 can be packaged easily and protected with a small number of parts.

  For example, the packaging member 12 encloses and holds the instrument body 21.

  Thereby, the instrument main body 21 can be packaged easily.

  Further, for example, a space 13 or a space 14 for storing accessories of the lighting fixture 20 is formed between the outer surface of the packaging member 12 and the inner surface of the exterior box 11.

  Thereby, since accessories can be stored in the space 13 or the space 14, the space 13 or the space 14 can be effectively used while realizing a reduction in material cost by downsizing the packaging member 12. .

  For example, the packaging member 12 includes a slit 50 into which a part of the accessory of the lighting fixture 20 is fitted.

  As a result, the movement of the accessory (such as the shade 22 or the cord 24) can be restricted, so that the accessory can be protected from an impact or the like. That is, the packaging member 12 also functions as a cushioning material.

  For example, by fitting the shade 22 into the slit 50, the height of the outer box 11 corresponding to the depth of the slit 50 can be reduced as compared with the case where the shade 22 is fixed to the outer surface of the top plate 31 of the packaging member 12. . Therefore, the exterior box 11 can be reduced in size, and the packaging container 10 can be reduced in size, weight, and cost can be reduced by reducing material costs.

  In addition, for example, the packaging member 12 has a cut and raised piece 40 formed by cutting and raising a part of the packaging member 12, and the cut and raised piece 40 abuts on the tool main body 21 to move the tool main body 21. To regulate.

  Thereby, since the movement of the instrument main body 21 is regulated, the instrument main body 21 can be protected from an impact or the like.

  Further, for example, the packaging member 12 includes a through hole 42 or a slit 44 into which a part of the instrument main body 21 is fitted.

  Thereby, since the movement of the instrument main body 21 is regulated, the instrument main body 21 can be protected from an impact or the like.

  For example, the top view shape of the packaging member 12 is a substantially octagon.

  Thereby, size reduction of the packaging member 12 and weight reduction, and cost reduction by reduction of material cost are realizable.

  For example, the packaging member 12 is formed by bending a single plate-shaped member having a predetermined shape.

  Thereby, since the plate-shaped member of 1 sheet is utilized, an instrument main body can be hold | maintained easily. Also, space saving can be realized from the viewpoint of inventory management.

  Further, for example, the packaging member 12 according to the present embodiment is a packaging member that is accommodated in the exterior box 11 for accommodating the lighting fixture 20 therein, and is tubular so as to wrap the fixture main body 21 of the lighting fixture 20. And is stored in a brace in the outer box 11.

(Modification)
Below, the modification of this Embodiment is demonstrated. Specifically, an example in which a lighting fixture different from the lighting fixture 20 described in the above embodiment is housed will be described.

  FIG. 10 is an exploded perspective view showing the lighting fixture 120 according to the present modification and the packaging container 110 that houses the lighting fixture 120. FIG. 11 is a perspective view showing a lighting fixture 120 according to this modification and a packaging member 12 that holds the lighting fixture 120.

  FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the lighting fixture 120 according to this modification and the packaging container 110 that houses the lighting fixture 120. In addition, FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view of a diagonal line of the outer box 111 and a cross-section passing through a diagonal line (a bisector of the corners of the X axis and the Y axis) along which the packaging member 12 is viewed from the side surface direction. . That is, FIG. 12 shows a cross section passing through the two cut-and-raised pieces 70 included in the packaging member 12.

  The lighting fixture 120 is provided with a shaded shade 122 instead of the shade 22 as compared with the lighting fixture 20 of the embodiment.

  The shaded shade 122 is an example of an accessory of the lighting fixture 120 and is a cover member that defines the appearance of the lighting fixture 120. The shaded shade 122 is made of, for example, plastic, wood (bamboo), or the like. As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the shaded shade 122 includes a cylindrical tubular portion 122 a and a plurality of curved rod-shaped members (creases) 122 b provided so as to cover the outer periphery of the tubular portion 122 a.

  The packaging container 110 includes an exterior box 111 instead of the exterior box 11 as compared with the packaging container 10 of the embodiment. The packaging container 110 further includes an inner cylinder 113.

  The exterior box 111 has an opening 111a on the upper surface (top surface), not on the side surface. The exterior box 111 includes flaps 111b to 111e. Since the functions and materials of the exterior box 111 are the same as those in the embodiment, the description thereof is omitted. The size of the outer box 111 is a size that matches the size of the lighting fixture 120.

  The inner cylinder 113 is a cylinder formed by, for example, bending a single plate member having a predetermined shape. The plate-like member is, for example, a corrugated cardboard sheet (corrugated cardboard material). That is, the inner cylinder 113 is a cylindrical cardboard.

  In the present embodiment, the inner cylinder 113 includes openings 113a and 113f and flaps 113b to 113e. The flaps 113b to 113e are provided along the circumference of the opening 113a.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the inner cylindrical body 113 is inserted into the cylindrical portion 122 a of the shaded shade 122 with the flaps 113 b to 113 e opened. At this time, the widths of the flaps 113b to 113e are longer than the width of the rod-shaped member 122b of the shaded shade 122. Further, the length of the diagonal line of the inner cylindrical body 113 substantially matches the diameter of the cylindrical portion 122a. Thereby, when the shaded shade 122 moves, the inner cylindrical body 113 also moves together. However, the movement of the inner cylindrical body 113 is restricted by the tips of the flaps 113b to 113e coming into contact with the inner surface of the exterior box 111. The Therefore, the movement of the shaded shade 122 is also restricted.

  As shown in FIG. 12, two cut-and-raised pieces 70 are in contact with the inside of the cylindrical portion 122a of the shaded shade 122. This also restricts the movement of the shaded shade 122.

  As described above, in the packaging container 110 according to this modification, for example, the packaging member 12 has the cut-and-raised piece 70 formed by being partially cut and raised outward, and the cut-and-raised piece 70 is attached. The movement of the accessory is regulated by coming into contact with the product (saddle 122 with a chin).

  Thereby, since the movement of the accessory (saddle 122 with a chin) can be controlled, the sword 122 with a chin can be protected from an impact or the like. That is, the packaging member 12 also functions as a cushioning material.

  Here, the usage mode of the lighting fixture 120 which concerns on this Embodiment is demonstrated using FIG. FIG. 13 is a perspective view of lighting fixture 120 according to the present embodiment. Specifically, FIG. 13A is a perspective view in the middle of assembling the lighting fixture 120, and FIG. 9B is a perspective view after the lighting fixture 120 is assembled.

  When using the lighting fixture 120, first, the packaging member 12 holding the lighting fixture 120 is taken out of the packaging container 110, and the fixture body 21 and the shaded shade 122 are removed from the packaging member 12.

  Next, as shown in (a) of FIG. 13, the adapter 23 and the cord 24 are inserted through the cylindrical portion 122 a of the shaded shade 122. Then, by combining the shaded shade 122 and the instrument main body 21, the instrument main body 21 is assembled in a usable state as shown in FIG. At this time, for example, the edge portion of the instrument body 21 (for example, a portion protruding from the slit 44 or 45) is locked to the upper opening portion of the cylindrical portion 122a of the shaded shade 122, so that the shaded shade 122 is The instrument body 21 is supported.

  Next, by attaching the adapter 23 to, for example, a hooking ceiling body provided on the ceiling surface, the instrument main body 21 can receive power via the adapter 23 and the cord 24 and light the light source.

  In addition, in this modification, although the example which mounts the shaded shade 122 on the top | upper surface board 31 was shown, you may insert the shaded shade 122 in the slit 50 similarly to embodiment. In this case, the shape of the slit 50 may be changed according to the shape of the shaded shade 122.

(Other)
As mentioned above, although the packaging container and the packaging member which concern on this invention were demonstrated based on the said embodiment and its modification, this invention is not limited to said embodiment.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the packaging member 12 includes the cut-and-raised piece 40, the through hole 42, and the slits 44 and 45 in order to restrict the movement of the instrument main body 21, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the packaging member 12 may include only one of the cut and raised piece 40, the through hole 42, and the slits 44 and 45. Alternatively, the number of the packaging member 12 provided with these is not particularly limited. For example, the packaging member 12 may include three or more cut-and-raised pieces 40 and can further restrict the movement of the instrument body 21.

  Similarly, an example in which the packaging member 12 includes the slit 50, the slit 60, and the cut-and-raised piece 70 in order to restrict the movement of the accessory has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The packaging member 12 may include only the slit 50, for example.

  Further, for example, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the exterior box 11 is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped, specifically, a box having a substantially square shape in a top view is shown, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The shape of the outer box 11 when viewed from above may be, for example, a substantially hexagonal shape. In this case, the packaging member 12 may not be disposed along the diagonal line of the outer box 11. For example, the long side of the packaging member 12 may be arranged in parallel with one side of the outer box 11. In other words, the bracing is not limited as long as the long side of the packaging member 12 obliquely intersects at least one side of the outer box 11, and as shown in FIG. And do not have to cross diagonally.

  Further, for example, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the tubular packaging member 12 has four surfaces has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the packaging member 12 may have three surfaces. That is, the wrapping member 12 may surround the instrument body 21 from three directions in a U-shape (U-shape) by three surfaces. That is, one side surface of the cylindrical packaging member 12 may not be provided. For example, the packaging member 12 may not include the side plate 33 and the side plate 34. Even in this case, the instrument body 21 can be held by the cut-and-raised piece 40, the through hole 42, and the slit 45.

  Alternatively, the tubular packaging member 12 may have two curved surfaces. For example, you may have the 1st curved surface which covers the bottom face, left side lower part, and right side lower part of the instrument main body 21, and the 2nd curved surface which covers the top | upper surface, left side upper part, and right side upper part of the instrument main body 21. .

  Further, for example, in the above-described embodiment, each of the exterior boxes 11 and 111 and the inner cylindrical body 113 is formed by bending a single plate-like member, but is not limited thereto. You may form by combining a some plate-shaped member.

  Moreover, for example, in the above-described embodiment, the example in which the packaging member 12 encloses and holds the fixture main body 21 of the lighting fixture 20 has been described, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The packaging member 12 may enclose and hold the lighting fixture 20 itself. Alternatively, the packaging member 12 may enclose and hold a component (for example, the shade 22) different from the fixture body 21 of the lighting fixture 20. Moreover, the packaging member 12 does not need to wind up the instrument main body 21, for example, the instrument main body 21 may be inserted in the cylindrical packaging member 12. FIG.

  Further, for example, in the above-described embodiment, the example in which the instrument main body 21 is supported by the bottom plate 30 of the packaging member 12 has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The instrument body 21 may float with respect to the bottom plate 30 of the packaging member 12. That is, the instrument main body 21 and the bottom plate 30 may be separated from each other. Thereby, the impact to the bottom part (for example, light emission part cover) of the instrument main body 21 at the time of bottom face fall can be eased.

  For example, the position where the slit 44 and the slit 45 are provided, that is, the height from the bottom plate 30 may be increased. Thereby, the instrument body 21 can be separated from the bottom plate 30 by the edge of the instrument body 21 being fitted into and supported by the slits 44 and 45.

  Or you may support the edge part (part which protrudes outward from the slit 44) of the instrument main body 21 by the cut-and-raised piece 40. FIG.

  Further, the instrument body 21 may be separated from the bottom plate 30 using another packaging member. For example, a narrow corrugated cardboard material may be formed in a cylindrical shape slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the instrument main body 21 and sandwiched between the edge of the instrument main body 21 and the bottom plate 30 of the packaging member 12.

  In addition, the embodiment can be realized by arbitrarily combining the components and functions in each embodiment without departing from the scope of the present invention, or a form obtained by subjecting each embodiment to various modifications conceived by those skilled in the art. Forms are also included in the present invention.
