The present invention relates to a cushioning packing cover bag, and more particularly to a bendable multi-sectional cushioning packing cover bag.
Generally, when an article is packed, soft foam or Styron is provided as a cushioning protection for the article. However, foam and Styron cause an environmental protection problem; they are not very ideal cushioning materials considering current attitudes to environmental protection. In addition, the article will be placed in a paper box directly after it is packed using foam or Styron, so as to allow it to be transported conveniently.
However, a purchaser is unable to see the article directly after it is placed in the paper box; the contents thereof can only be judged from an article pattern printed on an outside of the paper box. This is quite inconvenient, and can cause the purchaser to be unsatisfied with the article after opening the paper box owing to misjudgment of the color or size of the article from the article pattern. Consequently, they will ask for a purchase return or exchange, embarrassing the merchant considerably. Besides, an electronic device such as a cellular phone is processed with a sales promotion with a very low price to attract a purchaser to buy, owing to severe price competition. But if the purchaser finds out the cellular phone he bought is secondhand merchandise, or that the accessories packed inside the box have been replaced with sub-quality products after he opens the paper box, this not only always causes a quarrel between the merchant and the purchaser but also harms the brand image of an electronic device (e.g. cellular phone) manufacturer.
To improve cushioning packing and outer box structure, strengthen an article's cushioning protection, enable an article to be seen through an outer box so as to allow a purchaser to view the color or size of the article directly, ensuring a airtight fit of the article by means of a cushioning packing structure to prevent the article from being used or the accessories from being replaced to avoid a consumption quarrel, and to improve the brand image of a product manufacturer, the present invention is proposed.
To achieve the objects mentioned above, the present invention proposes a bendable multi-sectional cushioning packing cover bag used for packing an article; it includes:
two vertically stacked outer films together forming a main body, the main body including
a first air cylinder sheet having a plurality of first cushioning sections and being an air storable space,
a second air cylinder sheet having a plurality of second cushioning sections, being an air storable space, and connected to said first cylinder sheet at a first end thereof, said second sheet cushioning sections corresponding to said first cushioning sections, and three sides of each second cushioning section being adhered to three corresponding sides of said first cushioning section, and
an air filling passageway, positioned adjacent to the first air cylinder sheet or the second air cylinder sheet and being formed by two sticking lines adhering the two outer films;
two inner films positioned between the two outer films;
a plurality of air passageways positioned between the two inner films and connected to the air filling passageway and at least one of the first air cylinder sheet or second air cylinder sheet;
a heat resistant material, positioned on a face of one sheet of the inner films facing another sheet of the inner films;
a plurality of combination points, positioned between the two sticking lines, each of the combination points lying in between one sheet of the outer film and one sheet of the inner film to join said one sheet of the outer film to said one sheet of the inner film; and
a light reflection sheet, attached onto one side face of said first air cylinder sheet facing said second air cylinder sheet and reflecting light onto an article.
The present invention also proposes a bendable multi-sectional cushioning packing cover bag used for packing an article; it includes:
a packing box, comprising a window;
two vertically stacked outer films together forming a main body, the main body including
a first air cylinder sheet having a plurality of first cushioning sections and being an air storable space, a second air cylinder sheet having a plurality of second cushioning sections, being an air storable space, and connected to said first cylinder sheet at a first end thereof, said second cushioning sections corresponding to said first cushioning sections, three sides of each second cushioning section being adhered to three corresponding sides of said first cushioning section, and at least one said second cushioning section being lodged in said window to allow said first air cylinder sheet and said second air cylinder sheet to be placed in said packing box, and
an air filling passageway, positioned adjacent the first air cylinder sheet or the second air cylinder sheet and being formed by two sticking lines adhering the two outer films;
two inner films, positioned between the two outer films;
a plurality of air passageways positioned between the two inner films and connected to the air filling passageway and at least one of the first air cylinder sheet or second air cylinder sheet;
a heat resistant material, positioned on a face of one sheet of the inner films facing another sheet of the inner films;
a plurality of combination points, positioned between the two sticking lines, each of the combination points lying in between one sheet of the outer film and one sheet of the inner film to join said one sheet of the outer film to said one sheet of the inner film; and
a light reflection sheet, attached onto one side face of said first air cylinder sheet facing said second air cylinder sheet and reflecting light onto an article.
The first cushioning section and the second cushioning section of the present invention may be made with the same size or a different size thereby accepting different sizes of articles so as to accept conveniently a whole set of articles (e.g. cellular phone and accessories thereof), the first air cylinder and the second air cylinder sheet are used to guard the article from impact to prevent the article from being damaged due to shaking during transportation, and the packaged article is prevented from being used or replaced to effectively avoid a consumer quarrel and further to elevate the brand image of a product manufacturer. Moreover, the second cushioning section may be lodged in a window of a packing box; this not only allows the first air cylinder sheet and the second air cylinder to be positioned in the packing box, but also increases the visual effect of the packing to enable the original inner packing in the packing box to be a part of the outer packing, thereby allowing a user to view the packed article directly and avoid consumer quarrels caused by an error between a printed pattern of the packing box, and the article itself.
The present invention can be more fully understood by reference to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which:
Please refer to
The bendable multi-sectional cushioning packing cover bag includes an air cylinder sheet 1 and a light reflection sheet 31.
The air cylinder sheet 1 is a sheet includes a plurality of air cylinders 10a formed by adhering two sheets of outer film 2a and 2b by means of hot sealing after they are stacked together vertically, and can be separated into a first air cylinder sheet 11 and a second air cylinder sheet 12 communicating with each other, in which the first air cylinder sheet 11 is constituted of a plurality of first cushioning sections 111 disposed in series , and the second air cylinder sheet 12 is constituted of a plurality of second cushioning sections 121 disposed in series and one end thereof is connected to the first air cylinder sheet 11.
Furthermore, the plurality of second cushioning sections 121 corresponds to the plurality of first cushioning sections 111. The sizes and dimensions of the plurality of second cushioning sections 121 may be the same or different, and the size and dimension of each second cushioning section 121 and the size and dimension of the first cushioning section 111 corresponding thereto are the same, and three sides thereof are respectively adhered to each other by means of hot sealing to form a storage space 10b. If the sizes and the dimensions of the plurality of second cushioning sections 121 are the same, the dimension of each storage space 10b is the same; if the sizes and dimensions of the plurality of second cushioning sections 121 are different, the dimension of each storage space 10 then matches the size and dimension of the second cushioning section 121 such that the dimensions of the plurality of storage spaces 10b are different thereby accepting different articles 9. The first air cylinder sheet 11 and the second air cylinder sheet 12 can then be used to guard the articles 9 from impact as the first air cylinder sheet 11 and the second air cylinder sheet 12 are filled with air and expanded.
The light reflection sheet 31 is attached onto one side face of the first air cylinder sheet 11 close to the second air cylinder sheet 12 and used for reflecting light onto the article 9, in which the light reflection sheet 31 may be made from a light reflecting material.
The bendable multi-sectional cushioning packing cover bag may further include an air filling passageway 13 and a continuous check valve 14, in which the air filling passageway 13 is positioned at one end of the first air cylinder sheet 11 and formed by two sticking lines 131 and 132, the continuous check valve 14 is positioned with a plurality of air inlets 141 and air passageways 142 used for communicating the air filling passageway 13 with the air cylinder sheet 11, air in the air filling passageway 13 is filled into each air cylinder 10a via the air inlet 141 and the air passageway 142 to enable the first cylinder sheet 11 and the second air cylinder sheet 12 to be filled with air and expanded. Moreover, the air filling passageway 13 may also be positioned at one end of the second air cylinder sheet 12; the continuous check valve 14 can then connect the air filling passageway 13 with the second air cylinder sheet 12.
The continuous check valve 14 mentioned above may be formed by adhering two sheets of inner film 1a and 1b by means of hot sealing, in which the two sheets of inner film 1a and 1b is side-attached onto the outer film 2a or 2b. A heat resistant material 1c is spread sequentially at intervals between the two sheets of inner film 1a and 1b, for example, by means of heat resistant resin or ink printing. The two sheets of outer film 2a and 2b are still not adhered to each other to form air inlets even by means of hot sealing. When the air filling passageway 13 is filled with air and expanded, the two sheets of outer film 2a and 2b are pulled apart to open each air inlet 141 to allow air to enter each air cylinder 10a via each air passageway to cause each air cylinder 10a to be filled with air and expanded. Furthermore, two opposite sides of the two sheets of inner film 1a and 1b are aligned with two corresponding sides of the two sheets of outer films 2a and 2b as
In addition, After the two sheets of outer film 2a, 2b are stacked together vertically, combination points 2c in an air filling passageway 13 are generated by means of hot sealing so as to adhere the outer film 2a to the inner film 1a and the outer film 2b to the inner film 1b. After air entering the air filling entrance 13a expands the air passageway 13, the two sheets of outer film 2a and 2b are pulled outward and in the meantime, the two sheets of inner film 1a and 1b are forced to extend outward through the combination points 2c so as to open the air inlet 141 to allow the air to enter the air cylinder 10a via the air passageway 142.
After the air cylinder 10a is filled with air and expanded, the internal air pressure of the air cylinder 10a compresses the two sheets of inner film 1a and 1b to attach onto the outer film 2a or 2b (the two sheets of inner film 1a and 1b may also be not side-attached onto the outer film 2a or 2b but may be hung in the air in the air cylinder 10a) after the air cylinder 10a is filled with air and expanded to cover air passageway 142 to shield the air cylinder 10a to prevent the air in the air cylinder 10a leaking out to achieve an the airtight effect.
The bendable multi-sectional cushioning packing cover bag may further include a color sheet 32 attached to a side face of the first air cylinder sheet 11 not attached to the light reflection sheet 31, where the color of the color sheet 32 may be changed depending on the article 9, thereby increasing the visual effect. In addition, a plurality of hot sealing points 18 may also be positioned between the two first cushioning sections 111, between the first cushioning section 111 and the second cushioning section 121, and between the two second cushioning sections 121, to allow the plurality of first cushioning sections and the plurality of second cushioning sections to be bent along the plurality of hot sealing points 18.
After the article 9 is placed in the storage space 10b, each second cushioning section 121 and the first cushioning section 111 corresponding thereto are adhered to the opening of the storage space 10b by means of hot sealing, to cause the storage space 10b to be shielded, thereby guarding the article 9 from impact. Furthermore, shielding the storage space 10b by means of hot sealing can prevent the accepted article 9 from being used or replaced, effectively avoiding consumer quarrels and further elevating the brand image of the product manufacturer. In addition, the articles 9 may be stacked together after being packed according to the present invention, so as to allow a user to transport or store them conveniently.

The continuous check valves 14 may be positioned on the first cushioning sections 111; air is filled into each air cylinder 10a via the air inlet 141 and the air passageway 142 to cause the first air cylinder sheet 11 and the second air cylinder 12 to be filled with air and expanded, and the internal air pressure of the air cylinder 10a compresses the two sheets of inner film 1a and 1b against the outer film 2a or 2b (the two sheets of inner film 1a and 1b may also be left unattached to the outer film 2a or 2b, and may be hung in the air in the air cylinder 10a), after the air cylinder 10a is filled with air and expanded to cover air passageway 142 to shield the air cylinder 10a. Furthermore, the continuous check valve 14 may also be positioned on the second cushioning sections 121.
Please refer to
The bendable multi-sectional cushioning packing cover bag may further include a positioning element 15 placed on one end of one of the first air cylinder sheet 11 and the second air cylinder sheet 12, in which the positioning element 15 may be a handle as shown in
Please refer to
The bendable multi-sectional cushioning packing cover bag may further includes an open close element 16 positioned around the top rim of the opening of the storage space and used for separating the storage space 10b from the outside. A user may open or close the storage space 10b repeatedly with the open close element 16, rendering it a reusable item, where each storage space 10b may have a single open close element 16 as
Please
The bendable multi-sectional cushioning packing cover bag may further include a packing box 5 equipped with a hollow window 51, where the outer surface of the packing box 5 is printed with a printing pattern of the article 9 or may be printed with a light reflecting face. Moreover, the shape and size of the window 5 may be changed depending on the article 9. In addition, a handle 52 may also be placed on the packing box 5 to allow a user to carry the packing box 5 more conveniently.
The second cushioning section 121 may then be lodged in the window 5 of the packing box 5 after the article 9 is placed in the storage space 10b so as to allow the first air cylinder sheet 11 and the second air cylinder sheet 12 to be placed in the packing box 5; this allows a user to view directly the article 9 placed in the storage space 10b, preventing an error of judgment taking place because of any difference between the item and the printed pattern of the packing box 5 avoiding a consumer quarrel. In addition, the original inner packing in the packing box 5 becomes a part of an outer packing, and in the meantime the visual effect of the article packing can be improved to elevate the consumer's purchasing desire by collocating the printing on the outer surface of the packing box 5 and reflecting light onto the article using the light reflection sheet 31.
Although the formation of the continuous check valve 14 mentioned above is described as the two sheets inner film 1a and 1b adhering to each other by means of hot sealing as an example, it is not limited to this. It may be that only one sheet of inner film 1b is placed between the two sheets of outer film 2a and 2b, and a heat resistant material 1c is spread at intervals between the inner film 1b and the outer film 2b, and the inner film 1b and the outer film 2b are still not adhered to each other to form the continuous check valve 14 even by hot sealing.
Additional advantages and modifications will readily occur to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the invention in its broader aspects is not limited to the specific details and representative embodiments shown and described herein. Accordingly, various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the general inventive concept as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
