Is done. After delivery, the second component 12 is disassembled and appropriately stacked, and is stored in the storage unit 15 of the first component 13 as shown in FIG. At the time of collection, the second component 13 is taken out from the storage unit 15 and assembled to the first component 12, and the used image forming apparatus 20 is packed again in the packaging box 10 according to the present invention as shown in FIG. Is done.

よって、この発明に係る包装箱１０によれば、納品後は、第２の構成部品１３を分解して第１の構成部品１２の格納部１５に収納され、回収時は、格納部１５から第２の構成部品１３を取り出して第１の構成部品１２に組み付け、使用済みの画像形成装置２０の梱包に再利用されるので、納品後に画像形成装置２０を梱包している包装箱１０を格納して回収時に再利用可能とし、開梱時の廃棄部品を完全になくし、環境保護に役立つとともに、回収時には格納保管する板部材１３ａ、１３ｂ、１３ｃ、１３ｄ、１３ｅを取り出して梱包すればよいから、別途梱包部品を準備する手間が要らず、画像形成装置２０の回収時の利便性を高めることができる。   Therefore, according to the packaging box 10 according to the present invention, after delivery, the second component 13 is disassembled and stored in the storage unit 15 of the first component 12, and during collection, the second component 13 is stored in the storage unit 15 from the storage unit 15. 2 component 13 is taken out and assembled to the first component 12 and reused for packing the used image forming apparatus 20, so that the packaging box 10 in which the image forming apparatus 20 is packed is stored after delivery. It can be reused at the time of collection, completely eliminates the waste parts at the time of unpacking, helps protect the environment, and at the time of collection, the plate members 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d, 13e to be stored can be taken out and packed. There is no need to prepare separate packaging parts, and the convenience of collecting the image forming apparatus 20 can be improved.

第１の構成部品１２は、画像形成装置２０の底部に限らず、画像形成装置２０の背面において画像形成装置２０と一体的に形成することもできる。しかし、そのような構成とすると、電気コード引き出し口や排気口などを画像形成装置２０の背面以外に設けなければならなくなり、画像形成装置の設計に制約を受けることとなる。これに対し、図示例のように、第１の構成部品１２が、画像形成装置２０の底部において画像形成装置２０と一体的に形成されていると、画像形成装置２０と一体的に形成されて第２の構成部品１３を収納する第１の構成部品１２が邪魔になることなく、画像形成装置２０の周囲および上方を有効に利用可能として、画像形成装置２０の設計を容易とすることができる。   The first component 12 is not limited to the bottom of the image forming apparatus 20, and can be formed integrally with the image forming apparatus 20 on the back surface of the image forming apparatus 20. However, with such a configuration, it is necessary to provide an electrical cord lead-out port, an exhaust port, and the like other than the back surface of the image forming apparatus 20, which limits the design of the image forming apparatus. On the other hand, when the first component 12 is formed integrally with the image forming apparatus 20 at the bottom of the image forming apparatus 20 as in the illustrated example, it is formed integrally with the image forming apparatus 20. The design of the image forming apparatus 20 can be facilitated by making it possible to effectively use the periphery and the upper part of the image forming apparatus 20 without the first component 12 that houses the second component 13 getting in the way. .

第２の構成部品１３が、複数の板部材１３ａ、１３ｂ、１３ｃ、１３ｄ、１３ｅからなり、それらの複数の板部材が、第１の構成部品１２に組み付けるときに、それぞれ締結部材によって第１の構成部品１２または他の板部材に締結されるようにすると、第１の構成部品１２に対する組み付けを容易として画像形成装置２０の包装を簡単とする一方、第２の構成部品１３の分解を容易として適宜重ね合わせて格納部１５への収納を簡単とすることができる。   The second component 13 includes a plurality of plate members 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d, and 13e, and when the plurality of plate members are assembled to the first component 12, the first component 12 When fastened to the component 12 or another plate member, the assembly of the first component 12 is facilitated and the packaging of the image forming apparatus 20 is simplified, while the second component 13 is easily disassembled. The storage in the storage unit 15 can be simplified by appropriately overlapping.

図４には、第２の構成部品１３を構成する板部材１３ａ、１３ｂ、１３ｃ、１３ｄ、１３ｅの表裏を示す。

例えば、ユーザーは、画像形成装置２０を回収先メーカへと送付するとともに、はがき、電話、ＦＡＸ、およびインターネットなどを利用して所定の情報（ユーザーＩＤ、使用していた画像形成装置ＩＤ等）を回収先メーカへ連絡しておく。そして、回収先メーカが、前板１３ａ、後板１３ｂ、左板１３ｃ、右板１３ｄ、および上板１３ｅのいずれかに内蔵されたＩＣチップ１８等の情報から、プリンタが回収されたことを確認したとき、ユーザーの希望する消耗品をユーザーの下へ送付するサービスを行うようにすると、回収作業の効率向上を図ることができる。消耗品は、例えばプリンタでは必ず必要となるトナーやインク類が好ましいと考える。また、ユーザーの希望する消耗品を自社・他社問わず提供することで、業界全体で環境保全を目指すことが可能となる。   For example, the user sends the image forming apparatus 20 to the collection maker, and uses a postcard, telephone, FAX, the Internet, and the like to send predetermined information (user ID, used image forming apparatus ID, etc.). Contact the collection manufacturer. Then, the collection destination manufacturer confirms that the printer has been collected from information such as the IC chip 18 incorporated in any of the front plate 13a, the rear plate 13b, the left plate 13c, the right plate 13d, and the upper plate 13e. In such a case, if the service for sending the consumables desired by the user is performed under the user, the efficiency of the collection work can be improved. As the consumables, for example, it is considered that toners and inks that are absolutely necessary for a printer are preferable. In addition, by providing consumables desired by users regardless of the company or other companies, it is possible to aim for environmental conservation throughout the industry.
