Benefits of technology

[0008] One aspect of the present invention includes the recognition that a retention sleeve having pockets can be used with frame members such that at least one of the pockets receives a protruding member of the frame member that is eventually interlocked with another portion of the frame member. As such, this type of retention member can be used in a variety of other types of devices thus improving the cushioning effect provided by these devices and / or providing additional devices.

Problems solved by technology

In most cases, some additional structure is used to keep the article from moving uncontrollably in the box and thus incurring damage.

Embodiment Construction

[0044] An improved packaging system is disclosed herein. The packaging system includes an improved structure which provides new alternatives to known suspension packaging devices.

[0045] In the following detailed description, terms of orientation such as “upper,”“lower,”“longitudinal,”“horizontal,”“vertical,”“lateral,”“midpoint,” and “end” are used here to simplify the description in the context of the illustrated embodiment. Because other orientations are possible, however, the present inventions should not be limited to the illustrated orientation. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other orientations of the various components described above are possible.

[0046]FIG. 1 illustrates a retention member 10. The retention member 10 is preferably formed of a resilient body 12. For purposes of convenience for the following description, the body 12 is identified as having a midpoint M positioned in the vicinity of the middle of the resilient body. The resilient body 12 also inc...

Abstract

A suspension packaging system can include a retention member having at least one pocket and a relatively more rigid member configured to be inserted into the pocket and folded into a state in which a tension in the retention member is increased. The more rigid member can be in the form of a tray and can include protrusions over which the pocket is placed. The protrusions can then be moved into engagement with apertures thereby engaging the resilient member between the protrusion and the aperture. Additionally, flaps of a box can be inserted into pockets of a resilient member and rotated so as to generate attention in the retention member so as to provide further cushioning of an article to be packaged therein.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present inventions are directed to a packaging system. In particular, the present inventions are directed to a suspension packaging system that includes a retention member having at least one pocket. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] Protective packaging devices are often used to protect goods from shocks and impacts during shipping or transportation. For example, when transporting articles that are relatively fragile, it is often desirable to cushion the article inside a box to protect the article from a physical impact to the box that can occur during loading, transit and unloading. [0005] In most cases, some additional structure is used to keep the article from moving uncontrollably in the box and thus incurring damage. Such additional structures include paper or plastic packing material, structured plastic foams, foam-filled cushions, and the like. Ideally, the article to be packaged is suspend...
