AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0019]With a packing device according to the present invention, when a home delivery service person carries the packing device and a pump to a customer, packs an article requested to be delivered, and inserts a suction port of the exclusive pump into the air intake / exhaust port of the valve and deaerates the inside of the mat by operating the pump, cushioning bodies inside the mat solidify along the shape of the article, and in the state where the respective surface portions of the article are protected by the mat, the article is packed.

[0020]The valve is a check valve, so that the outside air is not suctioned naturally, however, for safety, after a knob is rotated to prevent the air intake valve from opening, the flap is folded to close the opening of the bag and cover the surface of the valve, and the bag is loaded as it is in a vehicle and transported.

[0021]At the delivery destination, the air intake valve is unfixed by exposing the valve by opening the flap and rotating the knob, and accordingly, the outside air is suctioned and cushioning bodies are softened only by opening the valve port of the air intake valve by pushing the valve stem down, so that the article can be easily attached to and detached from the holder.

[0022]A packing device according to the present invention can be used as a packing device that a home delivery service person possesses and carries to a customer, and collects from a delivery destination and repeatedly uses, and unlike a disposable cardboard box, the packing device produces no waste after it is used.

Problems solved by technology

Of course, home delivery service companies prepare boxes of various sizes to meet customer requests, however, the sizes and shapes of products are diverse, and it is difficult to satisfactorily pack all products in boxes that home delivery service companies prepare.

However, a simple paper bag or vinyl bag cannot secure safety.

However, the temperature-keeping bag described in Patent Document 2 is intended to be used as a shopping bag, and although it is not impossible to use the bag described in Patent Document 2 as a bag for storing an article to be transported by home delivery service, the bag is merely a bag as it is, and it is impossible that a customer possesses this bag for home delivery service, and on the contrary, even in the case where a packing and home delivery service person gives this bag to a customer, it is difficult to prepare bags of various sizes corresponding to the kinds of products in advance, and preparation of disposable bags increase the cost and is not realistic.

The trouble is that the conventional system in which a customer requests a home delivery service person to deliver an article is on the assumption that the customer packs the article and then requests the home delivery service person to deliver the packed article.
