  • Patent number: 8496216
    Abstract: In order to enable mounting of a cabinet 1 having a display unit to a supporting base 9, axial members 121 and 131 in the shape of a regular polygonal prism are disposed in the cabinet 1 and fitting holes 91 and 92 into which the regular polygonal prisms can be fitted, respectively, are disposed in the supporting base 9. By opening and then closing, or opening and then moving the axial members 121 and 131, the user can fit or remove them into or from the fitting holes 91 and 92, respectively, so as to mount or demount the cabinet to or from the supporting base. By tilting the cabinet by an angle when fitting the axial members into the fitting holes, respectively, the user can change the rotational attitude of the cabinet 1 with respect to the supporting base. Thereby, the user can use the display unit at different times and at different positions with simple manipulations.

  • Patent number: 7464517
    Abstract: A styrofoam material 2 is placed in a corrugated carton 1, and a plastic bag 3 is then loaded into the corrugated carton 1. Air between any two of the corrugated carton 1, the styrofoam material 2, and the plastic bag 3 is evacuated so that the plastic bag 3 is adhered onto dented portions 2a for product placement of the styrofoam material 2, and inner surfaces of the corrugated carton 1. As a result, products 4 can be easily placed on the styrofoam material 2 onto which the plastic bag 3 is loaded without the products 4 getting snagged on the plastic bag 3 and the plastic bag 3 being torn.
