Abstract

A wrap film containing box in which a projected portion of a thin sheet out of a serrated member serves as a tab and in which a thin sheet body on the back of the serrated member plays the role of reducing the fastening strength. Therefore, the serrated member can be removed easily and safely without reducing the rigidity of a cardboard portion of the box body where the serrated member is mounted (i.e., without impairing the cutting performance of the serrated member).

Claims

1. A wrap film containing box comprising a rectangular cardboard, which includes a front plate, a bottom plate, a rear plate, a top plate, lateral plates, and a cover strip extending in such a direction as to cover the front plate from the top plate, the wrap film containing box accommodating a rolled wrap film therein and being used by paying off a desired portion of the wrap film and cutting the paid-off portion with a serrated member having a width and lateral ends;

wherein the serrated member is fastened onto a predetermined surface of the box body through a thin sheet body arranged on a back surface of the serrated member, and the thin sheet body has substantially the same width as the serrated member and has a projecting end which projects from at least one lateral end of the serrated member, wherein said projecting end is grippable by a user to facilitate the removal of the serrated member from the containing box.

2. A containing box according to claim 1, wherein a long edge portion of said thin sheet body at least overlapping on the serrated member is serrated in the same form as the serrated member.

3. A containing box according to claim 1, wherein the thin sheet body comprises a plastic film sheet of from 0.05 to 1.5 mm in thickness, the plastic film sheet having a small thermal contraction coefficient.

4. A containing box according to claim 1, wherein the cover strip extends in such a direction as to cover the front plate from the top plate, which is reinforced by integrated lateral cover strips substantially at right angles thereto, the lateral cover strips extending in such a direction as to cover the lateral plates from the top plate;

and the serrated member and the thin sheet body are fixed on a lower back surface of the cover strip.

5. A containing box according to claim 1, wherein slits are provided at positions where fastening claws for fastening the serrated member and the thin sheet body on the cardboard surface of the box body are provided, the slits being small and serving to help remove the fastening claws.
