ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an appliance for supporting carriage of rolled or non-rolled cylindrical articles such as synthetic films, photograph film, papers, aluminum foils, cylinders for printing, in which said articles can be stably supported during carriage.
2. Prior Art
Hitherto, when a rolled article was carried, a method comprising enclosing the rolled article in a wooden box or a cardboard box in a suspended state with two holder bases for supporting both ends of a paper tube as a winding core in the center portion of the rolled article and fixing the holder bases to the bottom of the box, was applied, because the rolled article easily rolled over on a flat plane to suffer from damage.
However, in the above-mentioned method, it was required to reinforce entire strength of an enclosing box since a load was concentrated to a fixing portion of lower ends of the holder bases Further, since the rolled article in a suspended state is unstable, supporting materials to reinforce the rolled article or enclosing of them require a high cost. Small paper tube in the supporting portion made difficult handlings such as enclosing into the box or taking-out from it.
In non-rolled articles, the above-mentioned method could not be applied since they had no winding core, which resulted in inconvenience in carriage
A method or an appliance in which rolled articles and non-rolled articles can be carried stably and easily in a low cost has been required.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
As result of extensive studies to solve the above-mentioned prior problems, the inventors found that rolled articles and non-rolled articles can be carried stably and easily in a low cost by using an appliance for supporting carriage of a cylindrical article which consists essentially of a two proximate triangular prisms portion comprising a curved loading face of a cylindrical article with fold lines, a beam plane and a perpendicular plane and a base plane portion and accomplished the present invention.
The appliance for supporting carriage of a cylindrical article can be easily made from a cardboard sheet.
Further, a space is formed between said two beam planes of said two proximate triangular prisms portion and said base plane portion during loading of a cylindrical article. Hereinafter, the space is referred to “floated space” The floated space provides a function which makes possible to carry stably the cylindrical article loaded on the appliance.
That is, the present invention provides an appliance for supporting carriage of a cylindrical article which consists essentially of a two proximate triangular prisms portion comprising a curved loading face of a cylindrical article with fold lines, a beam plane and a perpendicular plane and a base plane portion, wherein said two proximate triangular prisms portions is formed in the state approached to each other in parallel by bending both ends of a square cardboard sheet to a proximate triangle form in cross section toward inside of the square cardboard sheet and a floated space is formed between said two beam planes of said two proximate triangular prisms portion and said base plane portion during loading of a cylindrical article.
Said proximate triangular prism may be a proximate isosceles triangular prism or a proximate right angled triangular prism
Said beam plane or said perpendicular plane of said two proximate triangular prisms portion may be provided with a reinforcing plate.
