PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a package housing for long and slender articles.SOLUTION: A package housing includes a base member (2) with a housing wall (6) forming a container (4) for a long and slender article (8), wherein the container (4) has a longitudinal axis (L) extending in a substantial co-axial relation with a longitudinal axis of the packaged article (8). The base member (2) has a head (10) and a holder (12) arranged near the head (10) in a direction of the longitudinal axis (L), the holder (12) is connected to the head (10) at a weakened zone (30) and has at least one holding means (34) for holding the article (8) at the holder (12). The weakened zone (30) is a predetermined breakage point (32). The holding means (34) has at least one of the spacers (42a, 42b) and holds the packaged article (8) under non-contacted state against the housing wall (6) of the holder (12) extending in a direction of the longitudinal axis (L).COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】細長い物品用のパッケージハウジングを提供すること。【解決手段】パッケージハウジングは、細長い物品(8)の容器(4)を形成するハウジング壁(6)を有するベース部材(2)を備え、容器(4)は包装状態の物品(8)の長手軸とほぼ同軸に延びる長手軸(L)を有している。ベース部材(2)は、ヘッド部(10)と該ヘッド部(10)に隣接して長手軸(L)の方向に配置された保持部(12)を備えており、保持部(12)は、弱体化ゾーン(30)でヘッド部(10)に連結され、保持部(12)に物品(8)を保持する少なくとも一つの保持手段(34)を備えている。弱体化ゾーン(30)は所定の破断ポイント(32)である。保持手段(34)は少なくとも一つのスペーサ(42a,42b)を有し、包装状態の物品(8)を長手軸(L)の方向に延びる保持部(12)のハウジング壁(6)に非接触状態で保持する。【選択図】図1
