[0027] Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, a cushioning tray having a double structure comprising an outer case into which an object is inserted to act as a cushion against external impact on the object; and an inner bed located inside the outer case to support one side of the object, and having a structure in which the outer case and the inner bed are connected to each other as a single member is formed by bending.

[0029] FIGS. 1 to 3 are perspective views illustrating a cushioning tray according to one embodiment, and FIG. 4 is a drawing illustrating an unfolded view of a cushioning tray according to one embodiment. More specifically, FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a cushioning tray that has been manufactured, FIG. 2 to 3 are perspective views illustrating a cushioning tray with the top surface of the outer case opened for convenience of explanation, and FIG. 4 is a drawing illustrating a single component, such as paper, on which an unfolded view for manufacturing a cushioning tray is printed before manufacturing the cushioning tray.

[0030] Referring to the drawings, the cushioning tray (100) has a double structure including an outer case (110) and an inner bed (120), so that it can act as a cushion against external impact on the object.

[0031] The outer case (110) is a structure into which an object (e.g., a vial) is inserted, and may be composed of an upper surface (111), four sides (112, 113, 114, 115) and a lower surface (116).

[0032] The upper surface (111) of the outer case (110) may include a groove (111-1) into which an object is inserted, and a fixing projection (111-11, 111-12, 111-13, 111-14) for fixing the object when the object is inserted may be formed around the groove (111-1).

[0033] At this time, the shape of the groove (111-1) may be determined according to the shape of the object. For example, the shape of the groove (111-1) may have the same perimeter as the shape of the object. However, it is not limited to or restricted thereto, and the shape of the groove (111-1) may be configured to include an insertion shape into which the user's fingers are inserted, while having the same perimeter as the shape of the object, so that the user can easily grasp the object stored in the cushioning tray (100).

[0034] Of the four sides (112, 113, 114, 115) of the outer case (110), each of the two sides (113, 115) facing each other has a separate structure and can be combined with each other to form a single surface when manufacturing the cushioning tray (100).

[0035] Of the other two sides (112, 114) facing each other of the outer case (110), one side (112) serves to connect the upper surface (111) and the lower surface (116) of the outer case (110), and the other side (114) can serve to form the outer shape of the outer case (110) by being attached to the side (122) of the inner bed (120) when manufacturing the cushioning tray (100).

[0036] The inner bed (120) is a structure located inside the outer case (110) that supports one side of the object and may be composed of an upper surface (121) and two side surfaces (122, 123).

[0037] The upper surface (121) of the inner bed (120) includes a groove (121-1) in which a portion of one side of the object is received, thereby allowing the object to be supported by receiving a portion of one side of the object that has passed through the groove (111-1) included in the upper surface (111) of the outer case (110) through the groove (121-1).

[0038] Here, the shape of the groove (121-1) can be determined according to the shape of a part of one side of the object. For example, the shape of the groove (121-1) can have the same perimeter as the shape of a part of one side of the object.

[0039] On one side of the upper surface (111) where the groove (111-1) is formed, there is a portion that can be folded inward by a half-cut as shown in FIG. 4, thereby securing a space between the lower part of the upper surface (111) of the outer case (110) and the upper part of the upper surface (121) of the inner bed (120). However, depending on the implementation, this may be omitted as shown in FIG. 1 to 3.

[0040] The two sides (122, 123) of the inner bed (120) can basically serve to support the upper surface (121) of the inner bed (120) from the lower surface (116) of the outer case (110).

[0041] At this time, the two sides (122, 123) of the inner bed (120) are formed to have a height lower than the height of the internal receiving space of the outer case (110), thereby securing a space between the lower part of the upper surface (111) of the outer case (110) and the upper part of the upper surface (121) of the inner bed (120). This is to ensure that only a part of one side of an object is received in the groove (121-1) included in the upper surface (121) of the inner bed (120), while a part of the object penetrating the groove (111-1) included in the upper surface (121) of the inner bed (120) is located in the secured space.

[0042] That is, the cushioning tray (100) can minimize and cushion external impacts applied to an object by implementing a double structure of an outer case (110) and an inner bed (120) that secures space between the lower part of the upper surface (111) of the outer case (110) and the upper part of the upper surface (121) of the inner bed (120).

[0043] One of the two sides (122, 123) of the inner bed (120) can be bonded to the side (114) of the outer case (110) during the manufacture of the cushioning tray (100) to fix the position where the inner bed (120) is formed inside the outer case (110).

[0044] Of the two sides (122, 123) of the inner bed (120), the remaining side (123) is formed in a shape that protrudes upward from the upper surface (121) of the inner bed (120), thereby serving as a supporting member that supports the lower part of the upper surface (111) of the outer case (110). The height of the shape in which the remaining side (123) protrudes upward from the upper surface (121) of the inner bed (120) can be determined to be equal to the height difference from the upper surface (121) of the inner bed (120) to the upper surface (111) of the outer case (110).

[0045] Although the inner bed (120) has been described as having two sides (122, 123), it is not limited to this and may have four sides depending on the implementation example. In this case, the remaining two sides (not shown), excluding the two sides (122, 123) described, may serve to support the upper surface (121) of the inner bed (120) from the lower surface (116) of the outer case (110).

[0046] In particular, the outer case (110) and the inner bed (120) may have a structure connected to each other as they are formed by folding a single material such as paper. Accordingly, the technical effect of reducing manufacturing costs and complexity and using environmentally friendly materials can be achieved.

[0047] Although it has been described that a single material such as paper is used as the basic material for forming the cushioning tray (100), it is not limited to or restricted to this, and various bendable materials can be used.

[0049] Although the embodiments have been described above with reference to limited examples and drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations from the description above. For example, suitable results can be achieved even if the described techniques are performed in a different order than described, and / or the components of the described system, structure, device, circuit, etc. are combined or assembled in a form different from described, or replaced or substituted by other components or equivalents.

[0050] Therefore, other implementations, other embodiments, and equivalents to the claims also fall within the scope of the claims set forth below. Explanation of the symbols
