Flat Display Packaging With Manual Insertion Grips
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional packaging structures for flat display units, such as those using corrugated boxes with cushioning materials, require significant labor and strength to unpack due to the design of the packing structure, which makes it difficult to handle and transport large and heavy display units efficiently.
Innovation Solution
A packaging structure featuring a packing box with a cushioning material that includes manual insertion portions allowing hands to be inserted to grip the display unit from the rear, reducing the need for strong grip and labor, and providing gaps to facilitate easy lifting and assembly of the display unit.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional packing structures with cushioning materials are used, then the flat display unit is protected during transport, but the unpacking process requires significant labor and strength to handle the large and heavy display unit
Solution Approach 1:
The cushioning material is divided into multiple functional zones: a rear cushioning portion for protection, and manual insertion portions that create accessible gaps. This segmentation allows the cushioning material to simultaneously provide protection and enable easy hand insertion for lifting, resolving the contradiction between protection and ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The manual insertion portions act as intermediaries between the cushioning material and the user's hand. These portions create gaps that serve as access points, allowing hands to insert through the cushioning material to grip the display unit without requiring the user to lift the entire heavy assembly or use excessive force.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the lower part of the packing box has a large height, then the flat display unit is adequately supported, but the display unit needs to be lifted higher making it difficult to take out
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of uniformly increasing the height of the lower part, the invention creates localized manual insertion portions with specific gap dimensions. These local modifications provide hand insertion capability while maintaining the overall structural support height, allowing the display unit to be stabilized during transport but easily accessed during unpacking.
3Reliability
If the cushioning material is positioned to support the flat display unit, then the display unit is protected from damage, but the space between the display unit and cushioning material makes it difficult to grip for lifting
Solution Approach 1:
The cushioning material is segmented into a rear cushioning portion that maintains protective spacing and manual insertion portions that create controlled gaps. This segmentation allows the rear portion to provide protection while the insertion portions create accessible hand grips, resolving the contradiction between protection and grip accessibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The manual insertion portions extend in the thickness direction of the cushioning material, creating gaps that reach from the front surface toward the rear. This dimensional approach allows hands to insert through the cushioning material thickness to grip the display unit, providing accessibility without compromising the protective function in other dimensions.

AI summary
There is provided a package structure for packing a flat display unit (200) which improves workability in taking a flat display unit (200) out of a packing box (202, 203). A lower cushioning material (205) which supports a display portion (201) of the flat display unit (200) from below has a manual insertion portion (217) so that the display portion (201) can be held at a portion close to a lifting person's body when the display portion (201) is taken out of a lower part (203) of the packing box (202, 203). A reinforcing rib (220) is provided on a front side of the lower cushioning material (205) to prevent damage to the lower cushioning material (205) due to a reduction in strength. To prevent the lower cushioning material (205) from being taken out together with the display portion (201) when the display portion (201) is taken out, a recess (223) is provided in the lower cushioning material (205) so that the recess (223) is caught on a bending portion (212, 233) in the lower part (203) when the display portion (201) is taken out.
