Benefits of technology

[0011] Accordingly, a packing assembly of the first preferred embodiment of the present invention functions to pack and protect an article. The packing assembly includes a pair of cushioning sleeves, a lower casing, and an upper casing. Each sleeve is adapted to correspondingly receive one of the side ends of the article. The lower casing has an opening, a space, a first side-surface portion, and a first supporting portion. The space of the lower casing is adapted to tightly accommodate the article packed by the at least one cushioning sleeves. The first side-surface portion abuts the at least one cushioning sleeves tightly. The first supporting portion extends from the first side-surface portion and is folded into cylindrical shape. The cylindrically-shaped first supporting portion abuts, via a side edge thereof, against one of the at least one cushioning sleeve to reduce the impact once subjected to said one cushioning sleeve. The upper casing functions to cover the opening of the lower casing and to bond with the lower casing.

The upper casing functions to cover the opening of the lower casing and to bond with the lower casing.

Problems solved by technology

However, the heavy electrical products are easily susceptible to damages caused during the packing process mentioned above; for example, the products could be accidentally dropped while being disposed by the operator into the narrow opening of the body casing, or the entire packing assembly might be subjected to impact while being transported.
Once the entire packing assembly is subjected to an impact along the L direction defined in FIG. 1, a displacement will instantly occur at the sleeve relatively in front, and along with the dropping force of the electrical product, the impact to the sleeve will be multiplied, which leads to cracking in the sleeve and damage to the electrical product.
Moreover, the packing process above requires more manpower to execute.

Embodiment Construction

[0020] An objective of the present invention is to provide a packing assembly for packing and protecting an article. The packing assembly comprises cushioning sleeves, and especially, the packing assembly also has a construction made of paper board which helps to reduce impact once the sleeves are subjected to it. According to the packing assembly of the present invention, the assembly also has a casing made of a one-piece board of corrugated plastic paper material. Another objective of the invention is to provide a cushioning construction utilizing a portion of the casing to absorb partial impact once the article, packed and protected by the packing assembly, is subjected to it, thus increasing the protection of the packing assembly to the article. Several preferred embodiments will be introduced in the following articles to expatiate on the characteristics, spirit, advantages, and convenience on the application of the invention.

[0021] Referring to FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B, FIG. 2A and...

Abstract

The present invention provides a packing assembly for packing an article. The packing assembly includes at least one cushioning sleeve and a casing. Each cushioning sleeve is adapted to tightly receive one of the side ends of the article. The space of the casing is adapted to tightly accommodate the article packed by the at least one cushioning sleeve. The first supporting portion is disposed in the space, and abuts, via a side edge thereof, against one of the at least one cushioning sleeve to reduce impact once subjected to said one cushioning sleeve.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a packing assembly with cushioning function for packing and protecting an article, e.g., a printer, a notebook computer, a scanner, a facsimile machine, or other electrical products that are easily damaged by impact. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] A common packing assembly for electrical products that are easily damaged by impact mostly relies on light, well cushioning polymer, such as polystyrene. Referring to FIG. 1, it is a schematic diagram of a common packing assembly 1 for packing and protecting an electrical product 2, e.g. a scanner. The packing assembly shown in FIG. 1 includes a casing 12 and a pair of cushioning sleeves (14, 16). The casing 12 is usually made of a one-piece board of corrugated plastic material, e.g. a board of corrugated paper. The pair of sleeves is respectively formed from a polymer material. [0005] As shown in FIG. 1, each sleeve is tight...
