GAME MACHINE PACKAGE DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To unnecessitate sorting by material, and also to improve strength in a cylindrically formed shoulder pad. SOLUTION: A lower mat 3 and a cover 4 made of corrugated fiberboard individually includes square-tubular shoulder pads 8 and 9 made of the corrugated fiberboard. The open end parts of the shoulder pads 8 and 9 are reinforced with main and sub-reinforcement parts 14, 18, 24 and 28 made of the corrugated fiberboard. Then the lids 5 of a corrugated fiberboard box 2 are opened, and the lower mat 3 is put on a bottom 6 in the box 2. In this state, a game machine in a horizontally placed state, is stored inside the box 2 from above, and one side of the machine 7 is inserted to a part between a pair of opposed shoulder pads 8, and thus the one side of the machine is supported in a state where the one side of the machine is held between the pair of pads 8 from the front and rear part of the machine 7. The cover 4 is inserted into the box 2, from above and the other side of the machine 7 is inserted to a part between the pair of opposed shoulder pads 9, and thus the other side of the machine is supported in a state where it is held between the pads 9 from the front and rear part of the machine 7. Then the covers 5 are closed and sealed with a sealing material such as a paper tape. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
