Problems solved by technology

However, unless such styrofoam cushions are used in a closed shipping system, they cannot be recycled
In addition, styrofoam cushioning is fragile, making it difficult to maintain their integrity once used and removed from the shipping container

Embodiment Construction

[0063] Returning to Fig. 1 first, around the design and function of the unitized product buffer structure of the present invention, we first introduce some basic concepts and assumptions to illustrate the specific terms here.

[0064] Mark 10 among Fig. 1 is a kind of typical unit type product cushioning structure of the present invention, and this cushioning structure is used together with product, and the overall outline of product is shown in mark 12, except the seismic performance that will pay attention to product, the characteristic of product It is not critical to the operation and function of the invention. Typically, such products are various electronic products such as PDAs, computer drives, tape drives, circuit boards, and the like. Other products include assembled computer cases and other various assembled electronic products, as well as other fragile products such as those made of glass or ceramics.

[0065]The main components of the unitary product cushioning st...

Abstract

A unitary product cushioning structure (10, 50, 60, 80) for supporting a shock sensitive product (12, 83) in an outer packaging container is formed of moldable resilient plastics material. It has an outer container contacting wall (20) at each side which is intended to contact an outer packaging container, and a flexible shock absorbing spring section (30) at each such side. A product supporting region (16) is bounded by outer product supporting region defining walls (22), inner product contacting walls (24), an upper ridge (26) between them, and a product supporting platform (28). Shock absorption support for a shock sensitive product is provided in at least two of three mutually perpendicular directions (32, 36, 36); most embodiments, including end pieces, end caps, trays and covers, and corner pieces, provide shock absorption protection in three mutually perpendicular directions. The structure is usually thermoformed, but may be otherwise molded from a suitable resilient and moldable plastics material.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates to product cushioning for packaging shock sensitive products. The invention relates in particular to reusable or recyclable product cushioning devices made of plastic and having different realizations such as angled corners, side pieces and end caps. Each embodiment of the present invention includes a unitary structure that can be molded from plastic using various molding techniques. Background technique [0002] The use of product cushioning devices to protect shock-sensitive products has been known for many years. There are often different methods of cushioning shock-sensitive equipment, and each method has its own specific advantages and disadvantages. [0003] For example, tissue paper has been known for many years to wrap shock-sensitive or delicate equipment or merchandise, or to cushion products in loose balls. Another is to use shredded or shaving paper. A better way now is to use film packaging, which is a sheet with...
