Further, a packaging box for spark plugs according to the invention may be arranged in a manner that the reinforcement plate is configured by a horizontal reinforcement plate in which the insertion slit is formed and a vertical reinforcement plate extending downward from one side edge of the horizontal reinforcement plate opposing to the opening of the insertion slit. Thus, according to the invention, the supporting of the spark plug is reinforced by the horizontal reinforcement plate and the a vertical reinforcement plate. Further, a packaging box for spark plugs according to the invention may be arranged in a manner that the reinforcement plate and the inner box body are configured in a manner that paper fiber directions thereof are perpendicular to each other. Thus, according to the invention, since the paper fiber directions of the reinforcement plate and the inner box body are perpendicular to each other, the reinforcement effect can be attained. Further, a packaging box for spark plugs according to the invention may be arranged in a manner that the inner box body is provided with a main body wall extending upward from the protection box portion and a terminal holding portion continuing from the main body wall, and the terminal holding portion is provided with a terminal portion insertion hole capable of inserting therein and holding a terminal portion protruding from other end side of the insulation member of the spark plug. Thus, according to the invention, the terminal portion of the spark plug is held by the terminal holding portion. Further, a packaging box for spark plugs according to the invention may be arranged in a manner that the terminal holding portion is configured by a slanted holding wall extending in a slanted upward direction from upper end edge of the main body wall, and the main body wall overlaps on a housing space of the outer box body and a free end edge of the slanted holding wall engages with a housing corner portion of the outer box body in a state that the inner box body is housed in the outer box body. Thus, according to the invention, the free end edge of the slanted holding wall engages with the housing corner portion in a braced shape manner in a state that the inner box body is housed in the outer box body. Further, a packaging box for spark plugs according to the invention may be arranged in a manner that the terminal holding portion is configured in a box shape by being bent so as to be formed by an auxiliary wall extending vertically with respect to the main body wall from an end edge of the main body wall and a slanted wall which extends in a slanted downward direction from an end edge of the auxiliary wall and provided with the terminal portion insertion hole. Thus, according to the invention, the terminal portion of the spark plug is held by the box-shaped terminal holding portion. Further, a packaging box for spark plugs according to the invention may be arranged in a manner that the terminal holding portion is provided with a cut line along an outer periphery of the terminal portion insertion hole, and the terminal holding portion is further provided with a pressing tab which is bent in insertion direction and made in contact with pressure to a terminal portion of the spark plug when the terminal portion of the spark plug is inserted into the terminal portion insertion hole. Thus, according to the invention, the terminal portion of the spark plug is supported with pressure by the pressing tab. Further, a packaging box for spark plugs according to the invention may be arranged in a manner that a screw terminal holding plate made of paper is provided in which a screw terminal holding potion for holding a screw terminal configured by a screw of the spark plug is formed. Thus, according to the invention, the spark plug can be held even by the screw terminal. In the invention, when the screw terminal holding plate is disposed between the screw terminal of the spark plug and the terminal portion holding portion, the workability of fabricating the packaging boxes can be improved. Further, when the screw terminal holding plate is set so as to have a width almost same as the terminal holding portion and not to abut against the outer box body, the outer box body can be prevented from being damaged upon falling. Further, a packaging box for spark plugs according to the invention may be arranged in a manner that the upper side protection wall of the protection box portion is provided in adjacent to the engine engagement portion insertion hole with an insulation member insertion hole in which the insulation member of the spark plug is inserted, the inner box body is formed by a pair of the protection box portions, and the engine engagement portion of the one spark plug is inserted into the engine engagement portion insertion hole of one of the pair of the protection box portions and the insulation member of the one spark plug is inserted into the insulation member insertion hole of other of the pair of the protection box portions to thereby hold the adjacent two spark plugs so as to be directed to opposite direction to each other within the inner box body. Thus, according to the invention, the adjacent two spark plugs are held so as to be directed to opposite direction to each other by the pair of protection box portions, so that the housing volume can be reduced. Further, a packaging box for spark plugs according to the invention may be arranged in a manner that the inner box body is provided with a flap wall which overlaps on a housing surface of the outer box body in a state that the inner box body is housed at the inner box body housing space within the outer box body. Thus, according to the invention, the spark plug can be protected by the slap wall and the outer box body is prevented from being damaged by the abutment of the spark plug. In the invention, when the inner box body is formed by cardboard material, the thickness of the cardboard material and the structural feature of the cardboard material of being likely smashed in the thickness direction serve to absorb the impact applied to the packaging box, the engine engagement portion and the gap can be protected effectively. Further, in the invention, although the packaging box likely wobbles and the tolerance of size is large since it is made of paper, the inner box body and the outer box body can be fixed surely when the inner box body and the outer box body are adhered to each other. Further, a packaging box for spark plugs according to the invention may be arranged in a manner that the outer box body is configured by upper, lower, left, right, front and rear side inner box protection walls forming the inner box body housing space and a main wall which continues to a rear side edge of the upper side inner box protection wall and extends upward, an elevational width of the rear side inner box protection wall is set in a manner that a upper portion of the rear side inner box protection wall and the main wall overlap to each other, and the main wall and the rear side inner box protection wall are respectively provided with suspension holes which continue in a state that the main wall and the rear side inner box protection wall are overlapped. Thus, according to the invention, the inner box body is protected by the outer box body and the packaging box is suspended by using the suspension holes. Further, since the periphery of the suspension hole is configured as a dual structure of the rear side inner box protection wall and the main wall, the intensity of the packaging box is enhanced. In the invention, when the outer box body is configured by the paper member one end of which is subjected to the coating processing, the outer box body has good appearance and the intensity of the adhered surfaces is high. Further, in the invention, a view window capable of recognizing the presence of the spark plugs may be formed at the inner box protection wall in a state that the inner box body holding the spark plug is housed within the inner box body housing space.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the first to fourth embodiments of a packaging box for spark plugs according to the invention will be explained with reference to the accompanying drawings. Among the respective figures, the elevational (upper and lower) direction a, the longitudinal (front and rear) direction b, and the transverse (left and right) direction c correspond from one another. 1. First embodiment (1) Outer box body 10 As shown in Fig. 1, the packing box 1 for housing and holding a plurality of (for example, four) spark plugs 3 is configured by an inner box body 20 and an outer box body 10. Explanation will be made as to the outer box body 10, at first. As shown in Fig. 2, a plurality of cutting sheets 10A for outer boxes is cut out from a sheet of raw material paper (for example, a cardboard). Each of the cutting sheet 10A is provided with upper and lower side, left and right side, front and rear side inner box protection walls 11a, 11b, 11c, 11d, 11e, 11f which are suitably set to predetermined values in their shapes and sizes so as to house the inner box body 20 therein and a main wall 11g. The left and right side inner box protection walls 11c and 11d are continuously provided with overlap-width and folding flap walls 12a and 12b with respect to the upper side and rear side inner box protection walls 11a and 11f, respectively. Since a flap wall is not provided with respect to the lower side inner box protection wall as a folding flap wall, the workability of fabricating the outer box body can be improved. Further, the respective flap walls 12a, 12b are disposed on the one side along the elevational direction with respect to a folding line which is an almost center line of the entire length along the elevational direction of the cutting sheet 10A. Further, since the adjacent cutting sheets 10A for the outer box are disposed upside down and the transversal phases of the respective flap walls 12a, 12b are overlapped in a single row material paper, the paper can be cut with the minimum amount of material. The cutting sheet 10A for the outer box is formed by a cutting process. In the cutting process, a plurality of folding lines 10L (shown by a dot-and-dashed line in the figure) are formed, and suspending holes 13 are also formed at the upper and main wall 11g of the rear side inner box protection wall 11f. Further, in the cutting process, a view window 14 through which the spark plugs are visible is formed at the front side inner box protection wall 11e. The outer box body 10 which is opened at the upper portion thereof is assembled by bending the cut sheet along the folding lines 10L, then pasting adhesive agent etc. on the flap walls 12a and adhering the respective flap walls 12a to the corresponding portions (see Fig. 1). Further, as shown in Fig. 7, the outer box body 10 is arranged to protect the inner box body by the upper and lower side, left and right side, front and rear side inner box protection walls 11a to 11f in a state of housing the inner box body 20 described later therein. Furthermore, the width size along the elevational direction of the rear side inner box protection wall 11f is set to be longer than those of the front side, right and left side inner box protection walls 11e, 11c, 11d. In the assembled state, the upper portion of the rear side inner box protection wall 11f overlaps with the entire area of the main wall 11g and the respective suspending holes 13 of both the inner box protection walls 11f, 11g are made continuous. The outer box body 10 is arranged in a manner that its paper fiber direction is set in the transverse direction. Thus, since the left and right side inner box protection walls 11c, 11d and the flap wall 12a are bent so as to cross in the paper fiber direction, the bent shapes thereof are stable and the inner box body 20 can be inserted easily within the outer box body 10. Further, when the view window 14 is formed at the outer box body, there scarcely occurs an expanded portion at the periphery of the view window 14. (2) Inner box body 20 As shown in Fig. 3, as to the inner box body 20, a plurality of cutting sheets 20A for inner boxes are also cut out from a sheet of raw material paper (for example, a cardboard), like the outer box body 10. Each of the cutting sheets 20A is provided with a upper side protection wall 22a, a lower side protection wall 22b, a front side protection wall 22c, a rear side protection wall 22d, a main body wall 23 and a slanted holding wall 24 (exemplarily shown as a terminal holding portion). These walls are suitably set to predetermined values in their shapes and sizes so as to hold the spark plugs 3 rigidly. The rear side protection wall 22d is used as an overlap-width with respect to the main body wall 23. A step portion 25 that is cut by two blades in the cutting process is formed at each of the upper side and rear side protection walls 22a, 22d. The step portion 25 serves to allow the displacement at the time of adhering the rear side protection wall 22d to the main body wall 23 thereby to improve the workability of fabricating the inner box body. Further, the cutting sheets 20A for inner boxes are cut out from a sheet of raw material paper in a manner that adjacent cutting sheets 20A are aligned in the elevational direction so as to be cut with the minimum amount of material. In the cutting sheet 20A for the inner box, a plurality of folding lines 20L and cut line 27, 34 are formed in the cutting process. The inner box body 20 can be formed by bending the cut sheet along the folding line 20L, then pasting adhesive agent etc. on the rear side protection wall 22d and adhering the wall to the corresponding portion of the main body wall 23. As shown in Fig. 4 and 6, the inner box body 20 includes a protection box portion 21 which is formed in a box shape by bending the upper and lower side, front and rear side protection walls 22a to 22d. The protection box portion 21 protects the screw portions 3d (exemplarily shown as engine engagement portions) and the outer side electrodes 3e of the spark plugs 3. The upper side protection wall 22a of the protection box portion 21 has a transversal width that is set to a length capable of holding the plurality of spark plugs 3. Further, the upper side protection wall 22a has a longitudinal width that is set to a length almost same as the diameter of the large diameter portion 3c of the metallic shell of the spark plug 3 (see Fig. 5). Further, as shown in Fig. 5, the upper side protection wall 22a is provided with cut lines 27. Each of the cut line is constituted by an arc cut line 27a, a split cut line 27b and an auxiliary cut line 27c. The arc cut line 27a is extended along the outer peripheries of screw portion insertion holes described later. The split cut line 27b divids the surface area corresponding to the screw portion insertion hole 30 in two areas along the longitudinal direction. The auxiliary cut line 27c extends from the arc cut line 27a toward the bent edge of the upper side protection wall. When the outer side electrode 3e and the screw portion 3d of the spark plug 3 are inserted with pressure into the cut line 27, the screw portion insertion hole 30 (exemplarily shown as an engine engagement portion insertion hole) capable of passing the screw portion 3d of the spark plug 3 therethrough is formed. Further, the upper side protection wall 22a is bent to the inside of the protection box portion 21 along the bent edge thereof thereby to form bent tabs 32 being contact with pressure to the screw portion 3d of the spark plug 3 (see Fig. 6). The lower surface of the large diameter portion 3c of the metallic shell of the spark plug 3 is placed on and supported by the surface areas that includes overlapped portions of the bent edges 31a, 31b. That is, the lower surface is placed on and supported by the surface areas including the bent edges 31a of the upper side protection wall 22a itself and the bent edges 31b of the bent tabs 32. Accordingly, sufficient strength of the packing box 1 is secured with respect to elevational falling thereof. As shown in Fig. 6, the width of the lower side protection wall 22b along the longitudinal direction thereof is set to a value which is longer than the width of the upper side protection wall 22a along the longitudinal direction thereof and corresponds to the housing width of the outer box body 10 along the longitudinal direction thereof. Accordingly, the protection box portion 21 is entirely formed as an almost trapezoidal form. Thus, sufficient strength of the packing box 1 is secured with respect to longitudinal falling thereof. In this respect, the longitudinal widths of the lower side protection wall 22b of the inner box body 20 and the left and right side inner box protection walls 11c, lid may be set in correspondence to the longitudinal width of the upper side protection wall 22a of the inner box body 20. However, even if each of the spark plugs 3 is arranged in a small type or a large type, this embodiment is configured in the aforesaid manner so that only the inner box body 20 is changed in accordance with the selected one of the respective types and the outer box body 10 is used commonly for the both types. Note that the spark plug of the small type means that the diameters of the screw portion 3d and the large diameter portion 3c of the metallic shell are relatively small, and a spark plug of the large type, the diameters of the respective portions are relatively large. Further, cut lines 34 (shown in Fig. 3) are formed along the bent lines between the lower side protection wall 22b and the front side protection wall 22c, and a plurality of (for example, two) projection pieces 35 protruding downward are formed at the lower end of the front side protection wall 22c of the protection box portion 21. In a state that the inner box body 20 is housed within the outer box body 10, the projection pieces 35 and the rear side bend edge of the protection wall 22b abut against the housing bottom surface of the outer box body 10. Accordingly, a space is formed between the housing bottom surface and the lower side protection wall 22b and the lower side protection wall 22b is configured in a braced shape. In this manner, the strength of the packing box 1 is secured with respect to elevational falling thereof by forming the projection pieces 35, and the strength of the packing box 1 is secured with respect to longitudinal falling thereof by forming the lower side protection wall 22b in the braced shape. As shown in Figs. 3 and 6, a slanted holding wall 24 is provided with a plurality of (four) elliptical terminal portion insertion hole 37 are formed so as to insert therein and hold the narrow portions 4a of the terminal portions 3a protruding upward from the insulation members 3b of the spark plugs 3. Slits each having one end being opened are continuously formed at the terminal portion insertion hole 37. In a state that the inner box body 20 is housed within the outer box body 10, the free end of the slanted holding wall 24 is engaged in a braced shape against the housing corner portions of the outer box body 10. Thus, the strength of the packing box 1 is secured with respect to elevational and longitudinal falling thereof. The inner box body 20 is arranged in a manner that its paper fiber direction is set in the elevational direction, so that the strength of the packing box is secured with respect to elevational falling thereof. (3) Assembling function of the packing box First, the outer box body 10 in a state being opened upward as shown in Fig. 1 is assembled as follows. The 10A for the outer box is bent along the folding line 10L, and then adhesive agent etc. is pasted on the flap walls 12a and the flap walls are adhered to the rear side inner box protection wall 11f. Then, the inner box body 20 is assembled as shown in Fig. 4 by bending the cutting sheet 20A for the inner box shown in Fig. 3 along the folding lines 20L, then pasting adhesive agent etc. on the rear side protection wall 22d and the rear side protection wall is adhered to the main body wall 23. Thereafter, when the outer side electrode 3e and the screw portion 3d of the spark plug 3 are inserted with pressure into the screw portion insertion hole 30 formed at the upper side protection wall 22a, the pair of the front and rear bent tabs 32 are bent inside of the protection box portion 21 by the cut line 27, and the pair of the bent tabs 32 are made in contact with pressure to the screw portion 3d of the spark plug 3 from the front and rear directions, respectively. When the spark plug 3 is further pushed, the lower surface of the large diameter portion 3c of the metallic shell of the spark plug 3 is placed on and supported by the upper surface of the upper side protection wall 22a of the protection box portion. Next, when the respective spark plugs 3 are inserted in and held by all the screw portion insertion holes 30 by repeating the aforesaid operations, the slanted holding wall 24 disposed in an almost vertical posture is bent along the folding line 20L on this side, and the terminal portions 3a of the respective pugs 3 are inserted in and held by the terminal portion insertion hole 37 of the slanted holding wall 24 thereby to complete the inner box body 20. Then, as shown in Fig. 1, the inner box body 20 holding the plurality of the spark plugs 3 therein is inserted from the opening of the outer box body 10. In this case, adhesive agent and so on is pasted in advance on the housing surface of the rear side inner box protection wall 11f through the view window 14 of the outer box body 10. Then, the inner box body 20 is housed within the outer box body 10 in this state and the outer box body and the inner box body are adhered to each other. Thereafter, the bending flap walls 12b, the upper side inner box protection wall 11a and the main wall 11g are bent along the folding lines 10L to thereby house the inner box body 20 therein completely. Then, the main wall 11g and the rear side inner box protection wall 11f are overlapped to each other and both walls 11g and 11f are adhered by adhesive agent etc. Accordingly, the packing box 1 firmly holding the plurality of (four) spark plugs 3 shown in Fig. 7 is completed. The packing box 1 completed in this manner is displayed in a suspended state on a hook 16 of a sales display rack by using the suspending hole 13 in an automobile parts store etc. Although, in the aforesaid embodiment, the main wall 11g and the rear side inner box protection wall 11f are adhered to each other, instead thereof or in addition thereto, the upper side inner box protection wall 11a and the flap walls 12b may be adhered to each other. (4) Effects of the first embodiment According to such a packing box 1 for the spark plugs, as shown in Fig. 5, the spark plugs 3 held within the inner box body 20 are disposed in a manner that the lower surfaces of the large diameter portions 3c of the metallic shells thereof are firmly placed on and supported by the surface area that includes the bent edges 31a of the lower side protection wall 22b and the bent edges 31b of the bent tabs 32. Thus, even when the packing box 1 is erroneously fallen, the protection box portion 21 of the inner box body 20 can be utmost prevented from being broken by the impact of its own weight of the spark plugs 3 upon falling in the elevational direction. Further, in the embodiment as shown in Fig. 6, the width of the lower side protection wall 22b in the longitudinal direction thereof is set to a value corresponding to the longitudinal housing size of the outer box body 10. Therefore, the outer and inner box bodies 10, 20 can be utmost prevented from being broken by the impact upon falling in the longitudinal direction even if the packing box 1 is erroneously fallen. Furthermore, in the embodiment, the projection pieces 35 and the rear side bent edges of the lower side protection wall 22b abut against the housing bottom surface of the outer box body 10. Accordingly, even if the packing box 1 is erroneously fallen, the outer and inner box bodies 10, 20 can be utmost prevented from being broken by the impact upon falling in the elevational direction. Moreover, in the embodiment, the free end of the slanted holding wall 24 engages in a braced shape with the housing corner portion of the outer box body 10. Accordingly, even if the packing box 1 is erroneously fallen, the outer and inner box bodies 10, 20 can be utmost prevented from being broken by the impact upon falling in the elevational and transversal direction. Further, since the terminal holding portion is formed by the single sheet-shaped slanted holding wall 24, the cost of the material can be suppressed and the workability of fabricating the box can be improved as compared with a terminal holding portion which is bent and formed in a box shape. Further, in the embodiment the slanted holding wall 24 holds the narrow portions 4a of the terminal portion 3a protruding upward form the insulation members 3b of the spark plugs 3. Accordingly, the spark plugs 3 can be held within the inner box body 20 more firmly as compared with a holding wall in which insulation members 3b having diameters lager than terminal portions 3a are inserted and held thereby. Furthermore, in the embodiment the suspending holes 13 are formed at the main wall 11g and the rear side inner box protection wall 11f in the outer box body 10. Accordingly, the packing box is suspended and supported by means of these two suspending holes 13, the packing box 1 can be prevented from being broken even if a slight force is applied to the packing box in the suspended state. The present invention is not limited to the aforesaid embodiment, and the embodiment of the invention may be modified in various types within the scope of the invention according to the appended claims. That is, the overlapped portion between the main wall 11g and the rear side inner box protection wall 11f of the outer box body 10 may be fixed suitably by a fixing means. Alternatively, a solvent for vinyl chloride may be pasted on the rear surface of the outer box body 10, and the main wall 11g and the rear side inner box protection wall 11f may be subjected to the thermo-compression bonding upon assembling. When the packing box is configured in this manner, the packing box 1 capable of firmly housing and holding the inner box body 20 therein can be provided. Further, information representing efficiency etc. of the spark plugs 3 may be printed on the surface of the body 1. Further, an anti-theft tag may be inserted at the overlapped portion between the main wall 11g of the outer box body 10 and the rear side inner box protection wall 11f. Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 7, a perforated line 7 for opening the packing box 1 may be formed at the front side inner box protection wall lie and the left and right inner box protection walls 11c, 11d of the outer box body 10 so that the spark plugs can be taken out easily. Although the explanation has been made as to an example where the perforated line 7 is formed along the frame of the view window 14 formed at the front side inner box protection wall 11e, the perforated line 7 may be formed at the position away from the frame of the view window 14. 2. Second embodiment Hereinafter, the second embodiment of the packaging box will be explained with reference to Figs. 8 to 10. The second embodiment is characterized in the configuration of the inner box body suitable for different types of spark plugs 3 that differ in the shapes etc. from the spark plugs of the first embodiment. In these figures, like parts corresponding to those of the first embodiment are marked with the same references. First, the explanation will be made as to the type (so-called a conical sheet type) in which the lower surface of the large diameter portion 3c of the metallic shell of the spark plug 3 is configured to have a tapered surface. As shown by steady lines in Figs. 8 and 10, a plate 40 is made of paper having the outer configuration almost same as the upper side protection wall 22a is used. The plate 40 prevents the large diameter portion 3c of the metallic shell from being buried in the screw portion insertion hole 30 of the inner box body 20. The plate 40 is provided with a plurality of insertion slits 41 each opened at one end and formed by cutting an arc area having a diameter (almost same as the diameter of the neck portion of the screw as shown in Fig. 9) smaller than that of the screw portion insertion hole 30. The number of the insertion slits corresponds to the number of the spark plugs 3 to be held (e.g., four). In a state that the screw portions 3d of the respective spark plugs 3 are inserted into all the screw portion insertion holes 30 of the protection box portion 21, the plate 40 is arranged to be sandwiched between the large diameter portions 3c of the metallic shells and the upper side protection wall 22a. Further, as shown in Fig. 9, the plate 40 is set to have such a size that the edges thereof on the slit opening side do not abut against the main body wall 23 in such a sandwiched state. Thus, even if there is a slight error in the size, such an error is absorbed, whereby the lower surfaces of the large diameter portions 3c of the metallic shells of the spark plugs 3 can be suitably placed on and supported by the reinforcement plate. Further, as shown in Fig. 10, the plate 40 protrudes from the upper side protection wall 22a so as not to abut against the outer box body 10 in the sandwiched state, whereby the plate 40 can be easily abutted against the spark plugs 3. The inner box body 20 is arranged in a manner that its paper fiber direction is set in the elevational direction like the first embodiment. Further, the plate is arranged in a manner that its paper fiber direction is set in the transversal direction so as to be orthogonal to the paper fiber direction of the inner box body 20, so that the strength of the packing box 1 is secured with respect falling thereof. Next, the explanation will be made as to the type in which the inner box body 20 is formed by straw board or container board which is thinner than the cardboard in order to miniaturize the packing box 1. In this type, the inner box body 20 made of container board is not sufficient in the holding intensity of the spark plugs 3 and the intensity upon elevational falling. Thus, a reinforcement plate 45 is employed which is formed by a horizontal reinforcement plate 45a having almost same configuration as the aforesaid plate 40 and a vertical reinforcement plate 45b extending downward from the one side edge of the horizontal reinforcement plate 45a. In this manner, the inner box body 20 made of container board is set in its paper fiber direction in the elevational direction so as to secure the intensity of the front side protection wall 22c, and the reinforcement plate 45 is also set in its paper fiber direction in the elevational direction. Accordingly, the strength of the packing box 1 is secured with respect falling thereof. In a type where the terminal portion 3a of each of the spark plugs 3 forms a screw terminal 4b, a screw terminal holding plate 47 is inserted at the inside of the plate 24 as shown by a steady line in Figs. 8 and 10 in order to more surely hold the screw terminals 4b. The screw terminal holding plate 47 is provided with a plurality of (e.g., four) screw terminal holding portions 48 and pressing tabs 49 for passing the screw terminals 4b of the spark plugs 3 therethrough and holding them. Since the screw terminal holding plate 47 is disposed at the inside of the plate 24, the workability of fabricating the inner box body can be improved as compared with the inner box body in which the screw terminal holding plate 47 is disposed at the outside. 3. Third embodiment Hereinafter, the third embodiment of the packaging box will be explained with reference to Figs. 11 to 14. The third embodiment is characterized in the configuration of the inner box body suitable for a type in which the spark plugs 3 are placed horizontally. In these figures, like parts corresponding to those of the first embodiment are marked with the same references. As shown in Fig. 12, a plurality of cutting sheets 50A for inner boxes are cut out from a sheet of raw material paper (for example, a cardboard), like the first embodiment. Each of the cutting sheets 50A is provided with upper and lower side, left and right side, front and rear side protection walls 52a, 52b, 52c, 52d, a main body wall 53 and an auxiliary wall 54, a slanted wall 55 and a vertical wall 42. These walls are suitably set to predetermined values in their shapes and sizes so as to hold the two spark plugs 3 rigidly. Further, a flap wall 56 for protecting the spark plugs is provided so as to be continuous from the main body wall 53 and a folding flap wall 57 is provided so as to be continuous from the flap wall 56. In the cutting sheet 50A for the inner box, a plurality of folding lines 50L and cut lines 27, 34, 39, 58 are formed in the cutting process. The inner box body 50 (shown in Figs. 13 and 14) is assembled as follows. These walls are bent along the folding lines 50L, and adhesive agent is pasted on the rear side protection wall 52d. Then, the rear side protection wall is adhered to the corresponding portion of the main body wall 53. The free end edge of the vertical wall 42 is engaged with the a stop tab 53a formed at the main body wall 53 to thereby form a terminal holding portion 44 of an almost triangular pyramid shape by the main body wall 53, the auxiliary wall 54 and the slanted wall 55. Further, the wall 57 is folded within the box-shaped terminal holding portion 44 and overlapped with the auxiliary wall 54 to thereby serve to hold the shapes of the terminal holding portion 44 and the flap wall 56. The flap wall 56 covers the one side surface of the spark plug. Cut lines 58 are formed at the slanted wall 55. When the portion 3b of the spark plug 3 is pushed into the cut line 58, a terminal portion insertion hole 59 capable of inserting therein and holding the narrow portion 4a of the terminal portion 3a is formed. When the spark plug 3 is pushed further, a pressing tab 43 that is bent in the insertion direction and is brought in contact with pressure to the terminal portion 3a is formed. Such a inserting and holding function of the terminal portion 3a utilizing the pressing tab 43 is excellent in the workability of fabricating the box as compared with the first embodiment in which the spark plug is merely inserted in and held by the hole. As shown in Fig. 11, the inner box body 50 is housed within the outer box body 10 in a state that the flap wall 56 thereof is directed downward, that is, the spark plugs 3 are turned sideway. In this housing state, the flap wall 56 of the inner box body 50 is overlapped on the housing bottom surface of the outer box body 10. According to this configuration, even when the packing box 1 is erroneously fallen, the inner and outer box bodies 50, 10 can be utmost prevented from being broken by the impact upon falling in the elevational direction. In particular, this configuration is suitable for securing the intensity in the case where the hexagonal nut portion of the spark plug 3 has a relatively large diameter. Such a configuration of housing the inner box body 50 having the box-shaped terminal holding portion 44 in a turned sideway state is excellent in the insertion property as compared with the configuration like the first embodiment in which the inner box body 20 having the terminal holding portion as a free end is inserted in a turned sideway state. 4. Fourth embodiment Hereinafter, the fourth embodiment of the packaging box will be explained with reference to Figs. 15 to 18. The fourth embodiment is characterized in the configuration of the inner box body 60 suitable for a type that is required to house many spark plugs 3 therein with a smaller volume. In these figures, like parts corresponding to those of the first embodiment are marked with the same references. As shown in Fig. 16, a cut sheet 60A for an inner box is provided with upper and lower side, front and rear side protection walls 62a, 62b, 62c, 62d and a main body vertical wall 63 which are suitably set to predetermined values in their shapes and sizes so as to hold the six spark plugs 3 rigidly. Further, a flap wall 64 for protecting the spark plugs is provided so as to be continuous from the upper side protection wall 62a. In the cut sheet 60A for the inner box, a plurality of folding lines 60L and cut lines 27, 34, 67 are formed in the cutting process. A protection box portion 61 (shown in Figs. 17 and 18) is assembled in a manner that the walls are bent along the folding lines 60L, then adhesive agent is pasted on the rear side protection wall 62d, then the rear side protection wall is adhered to the corresponding portion of the main body vertical wall 63. The inner box body 60 is configured to include a pair of the protection box portions 61 thus assembled. A plurality of (e.g., three) screw portion insertion holes 30 are formed at the upper side protection wall 62a of each of the protection box portions 61, and a plurality of (e.g., three) insulation member insertion holes 66 are formed between the adjacent screw portion insertion holes 30. When the insulation members 3b of the spark plugs 3 are pushed and inserted into the cut lines 67, the insulation member insertion holes 66 are formed, respectively. Further, pressing tabs 68 which are bent in the insertion direction and made in contact with pressure to the insulation members 3b are formed. As shown in Fig. 17, in the single protection box portion 61, the screw portions 3d of the spark plugs 3 are inserted into the screw portion insertion holes 30 and the insulation members 3b of the spark plugs 3 are inserted into the insulation member insertion holes 66, respectively. Accordingly, the adjacent spark plugs 3 are placed and supported in opposite directions to each other along the longitudinal direction, respectively. Then, the other protection box portion 61 is covered from the upper direction on the protection box portion 61 which supports the spark plugs 3 in this manner. Therefore, the screw portions 3d and the insulation members 3b are inserted into the screw portion insertion holes 30 and the insulation member insertion holes 66 of the other protection box portion 61, respectively (as shown in Fig. 18). In this manner, the inner box body 60 that firmly holds the six spark plugs 3 is assembled. Then, as shown in Fig. 15, the inner box body 60 is housed within the outer box body 10 in a state that the flap wall 64 thereof is directed downward, that is, the spark plugs 3 are turned sideway. In this housing state, the flap wall 64 of the inner box body 60 is overlapped on the housing bottom surface of the outer box body 10. According to this configuration, even when the packing box 1 is erroneously fallen, the inner and outer box bodies 10, 60 can be utmost prevented from being broken by the impact upon falling in the elevational direction. Further, since the plurality of spark plugs 3 are supported in opposite directions to each other along the longitudinal direction, respectively, the phases of the large diameter portions 3c of the metallic shells of the spark plugs 3 can be overlapped in the transversal direction. Thus, the width of the inner box body 60 in the transversal direction can be made minimum and so the entire size of the packing box 1 can be designed compactly. While there has been described in connection with the preferred embodiment of the invention, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the invention, and it is aimed, therefore, to cover in the appended claim all such changes and modifications as fall within the scope of the invention. According to the invention, the spark plugs can be held firmly within the inner box body, the packaging box and the spark plugs themselves can be prevented from being broken by the shock upon falling, and the invention can contribute to environmental protection, and the integrity of the packaging box in the elevational direction can be improved.
