Abstract
A cell box includes a bottom plate on which an object to be packed is placed, a sidewall formed at a peripheral edge of the bottom plate, and a spacer that is switched between a first state where one end of the spacer protrudes by a first distance from a sidewall toward a side of an accommodation space accommodating the object to be packed, and a second state where the one end does not protrude from the sidewall toward the side of the accommodation space.
Claims12
A cell box for packing an object to be packed, the object to be packed including a display panel connected to a printed circuit board via a flexible substrate, the cell box comprising:
- a bottom plate, wherein the object to be packed is placed on the bottom plate when the object to be packed is packed in the cell box;
- a plurality of sidewalls formed at a peripheral edge of the bottom plate;
- and
- a spacer configured to be switched between a first state in which one end of the spacer protrudes by a first distance from one sidewall among the plurality of sidewalls toward a side of an accommodation space configured to accommodate the object to be packed, and a second state in which the one end protrudes by a second distance shorter than the first distance from the one sidewall toward the side of the accommodation space or the one end does not protrude from the one sidewall toward the side of the accommodation space,
- wherein the spacer is provided slidably with respect to a sliding surface provided on the one sidewall and is slidable along a first direction intersecting an inner face of the one sidewall,
- the spacer is configured to be switched between the first state and the second state by sliding along the first direction,
- the one sidewall includes a sliding hole extending from an inner surface of the one sidewall through to an outer surface of the one sidewall along the first direction and configuring the sliding surface, and
- the spacer is provided slidably along the sliding hole.
A cell box for packing an object to be packed, the object to be packed including a display panel connected to a printed circuit board via a flexible substrate, the cell box comprising:
- a bottom plate, wherein the object to be packed is placed on the bottom plate when the object to be packed is packed in the cell box;
- a plurality of sidewalls formed at a peripheral edge of the bottom plate;
- and
- a spacer configured to be switched between a first state in which one end of the spacer protrudes by a first distance from one sidewall among the plurality of sidewalls toward a side of an accommodation space configured to accommodate the object to be packed, and a second state in which the one end protrudes by a second distance shorter than the first distance from the one sidewall toward the side of the accommodation space or the one end does not protrude from the one sidewall toward the side of the accommodation space,
- wherein the bottom plate includes a flat surface and an inclined surface, the object to be packed being placed on the flat surface when the object to be packed is packed in the cell box, the inclined surface being inclined so that a depth of the accommodation space increases toward the one sidewall,
- the spacer includes, on a side of the one end, a pressing surface being inclined facing or contacting the printed circuit board when the spacer is in the first state, and
- the pressing surface is substantially parallel to the inclined surface.
