  • Publication number: 20220306339
    Abstract: A packing body includes a bottom plate on which a packed body is placed, a box body that covers the packed body, and a restricting member, of which one end is fixed to the bottom plate and the other end protrudes toward a part of the packed body with a gap and that restricts lateral movement of the packed body by coming into contact with the part of the packed body in a case where the packed body has moved laterally, in which clearance between the restricting member and the part of the packed body is larger than a gap between an inner surface of the box body and the packed body, and the clearance is defined as a movement amount obtained by adding an elastic deformation amount of the restricting member in a case where the packing body has received a horizontal impact to the gap between the restricting member and the part of the packed body.
