Publication number: 20240116260Abstract: An opening arm has a thickness smaller than a clearance between a pair of flaps that are formed adjacent to each other in one plate-like portion of a pair of plate-like portions of a cardboard sheet folded like a plate. The pair of plate-like portions face each other. A moving portion moves the opening arm. In a state where the opening arm is inserted in the clearance G1 between the pair of flaps, the opening arm faces a flap that is formed in another plate-like portion of the pair of plate-like portions and that is located at a position that faces the clearance. The moving portion moves the opening arm such that the opening arm pushes the flap formed in the other plate-like portion, and that the other plate-like portion is separated from the one plate-like portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventor: HISASHI OSADA
