PLAY BOARD PACKING APPARATUS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate a need for classification according to a type of material and prevent damaging a play board upon taking it out from a padding. SOLUTION: The upper and lower edges 24, 25 of a play board 21 are fitted into the holes 7, 8 of a padding 1 made of a corrugated paper to make a composition, which is taken out from a cardboard box 31, and the play board 21 is taken out from the padding 1. Upon taking out the play board, the outside portion A, B of the padding are held by the hands, and the fingers are pressed on a pair of parts formed between cuts 9, 10 opposed each other, respectively, then the parts are pressed from the inside toward the outside. As a result, with the cuts 9, 10 as severing guides, the front portion C, D of the left and right side walls 2, 4 of the padding are severed from the outside portions A, B. In this state, the front portion C, D are pulled forward by the hands to widen the holes 7, 8, and the play board 21 is freed from restraint by the sharp edges that are the edges of the holes 7, 8.
