Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a buffer packing bag, and more specifically, to a buffer packing bag constituted with cushioning medium of plastic film as generally called wavelike buffering materials, and with a number of individual air-inflatable parts arranged in line.

There have been various sorts of cushioning medium of plastic film like a bag of air-inflatable parts which can be bulged with air through an air inlet and avoid backward air flow under a control of check valves and limited the leakage of air only at damaged air-inflatable parts.

The buffer packing bag made of said cushioning medium is known, as disclosed by Japan Utility Model Publication No.6-35973. It generally looks like an envelope in configuration, which has less space with sufficient depth (height) for containing an article. When the buffer packing bag is bulged with air, the article is hard to be taken in or out of the bag. In particular, the bag is not adaptable as a buffer packing bag for a hard and edgy article like a portable DVD player. Even when an article like that can be taken in to the bag, there still may be a problem to leave the article damaged when transported or when taken in or out of the bag by making a hole on the air-inflatable parts with the corner(s) of the article.

As for the conventional buffer packing bags, some have a flap for sticking attached to the slit, and some do not.

A problem in the first case is that the packing bag is unable to be used as a buffer bag again since the glued flap has to be opened or cut off when the article is taken out. And a problem in the latter case, in transportation, is that the content in the bag is likely to come out of the bag and some other thing(s) can intrude into the bag through the slit.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In order to meet said task and attain said object, the first present invention provides a buffer packing bag with a base of two plastic films, which are placed one on another and heat-bonded at fixed areas and spots. The base of the bag has an air-supplying passage with an air inlet and an air-inflatable section.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

(Embodiment 1)

In the description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanied drawings, the reference numeral 1 designates a base of the buffer packing bag. In this embodiment, the base 1 , made of two rectangular hot-adherent plastic film sheets of the same size by heat-bonding together at the fixed area and spots, has a flat air-supplying passage 2 and an air-inflatable section 3 , formed beside the air-supplying passage 2 along the air-supplying direction.

The air-inflatable section 3 is divided into multiple individual air-inflatable parts 4 , and

a check valve 5 , which is made of plastic film and attached inside to each of said individual air-inflatable parts 4 , and

two space-making folds 6 functioning to automatically form a box-shaped space with desirable depth (height) for an article when the bag is bulged with air, and

a bending fold 7 functioning to fold the base outward and have a loading slit, as mentioned thereinafter, open for an article.

In this connection, while the two rectangular plastic film sheets placed one on another are heat-bonded along the areas 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , the air-supplying passage 2 is formed between a heat-bonded area 8 on one of the width sides of the base 1 and a narrow heat-bonded area 12 , which is formed slightly away from the inner side of the heat-bonded area 8 , and between the heat-bonded areas 8 , 12 , a narrow flat-tubular air inlet 13 is formed at one end.

With this embodiment, the heat-bonded area 9 on the same side of the air inlet 13 is made somewhat wider than the other heat-bonded areas 8 , 10 , 11 for the reason as described later.

The heat-bonded area 12 is arranged to allow air flow between each of the individual air-inflatable parts 4 — 4 .

The individual air-inflatable parts 4 — 4 are the partitions of the air-inflatable section 3 and formed by heat-bonded lines 14 — 14 parallel to each other along the direction across the air-supplying passage 2 . A check valve 5 , as mentioned thereinafter, is attached inside to each of the individual air-inflatable parts 4 — 4 in order to allow air flow between each of the air-inflatable parts 4 — 4 and the air-supplying passage 2 only via a check valve 5 .

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 , a check valve 5 is consisted of two plastic films like polyethylene films, which are thin, flexible, rectangular and hot-adherent, and placed one on another. Said check valve 5 is divided into two heat-bonded areas 15 , 15 on both length sides and a check valve body 19 with an air-flowing passage 18 inside the body 19 between the openings 16 , 17 at both ends of the body 19 . In the half part of said air-flowing passage 18 , an inverted V-shaped bonded area 21 , bonded by heat, is formed with the top 20 of the area 21 directing to the opening 16 in the check valve body 19 .

And in FIG. 7 , with said inverted V-shaped bonded area 21 , air can flow through the first air-flowing channel 18 a inside a flat check valve 5 . A heat-bonded area 22 is a linear area from under the middle of said inverted V-shaped bonded area 21 to the end of the check valve body 19 while air flows through the second air-flowing channel 18 b of both sides of said area 22 .

As shown in FIG. 8 , a check valve 5 is inserted into an individual air-inflatable part 4 through a non-bonded area 12 a of a part of the bonded area 12 . The edge of the opening 16 of said check valve 5 is bonded with the edge of said non-bonded area 12 a at a bonded area 12 b . Thus, a check valve 5 is attached inside to each of the individual air-inflatable parts 4 .

Consequently, each of said individual air-inflatable parts 4 is associated with the air-supplying passage 2 through the openings 16 , 17 of a check valve 5 by way of the first air-flowing channels 18 a , and the second air-flowing channels 18 b . Said individual air-inflatable parts 4 , thus arranged along the air-supplying passage 2 and formed parallel each other, are able to be associated only through each channel of said check valve 5 .

As shown in FIG. 1 as a plan view, in this embodiment, a space-making fold 6 is formed across the individual air-inflatable parts 4 in each of the two divided portions of the air-inflatable section 3 . A space-making fold 6 is consisted of two lines with a uniform interval L 1 by heat-bonding partially at each of the individual air-inflatable parts 4 . Both of the space-making folds in the air-inflatable section 3 are arranged to allow air flow by way of a partial bonded point 6 a and a small air-supplying passage 6 b at each of the individual air-inflatable parts 4 .

The formation of the space-making fold is good with for one line. In this case, however, each of individual air-inflatable parts needs to be formed to be able to be bulged up in order to make a space 29 , mentioned later, inside the buffer packing bag.

In this embodiment, a bending fold 7 is formed in one of the two portions without air-supplying passage 2 of the air-inflatable section 3 across each of individual air-inflatable parts 4 with a uniform interval L 2 from a closer one of two space-making folds 6 , 6 . The bending fold 7 is arranged to allow air flow by way of a partial bonded point 7 a and a small air-supplying passage 7 b in each of the individual air-inflatable parts 4 .

In FIG. 1 as a plan view, two cutting notches 23 a , 23 b are respectively provided on the heat-bonded areas 9 , 11 of the length sides of the base 1 in order to tear and deflate the bag by releasing air from the individual air-inflatable parts 4 when the bag in this embodiment is abandoned after used,

This embodiment in FIGS. 1 and 9 employs another way of deflation without use of the notches by detaching an easy-releasable tape 25 from tiny holes 24 , which are linearly made on either surface of the air-inflatable parts 4 . When the bag is used, said tiny holes 24 must be sealed by said easy-releasable tape 25 and heat-bonded around heat-bonding area 26 on each of said tiny holes 24 to make sure of anti-deflation.

As shown in FIG. 9 , in deflation, the easy-releasable tape 25 is detached from the bag to release air through each of said tiny holes 24 . In the same drawing, the reference numeral 26 ′ designates transcribed trace of the heat-bonded area 26 on the easy-releasable tape 25 after the removal of said tape 25 from an individual air-inflatable part 4 .

A good point in this way of deflation is that even after deflation the buffer packing bag can be reused as it is by sealing the tiny holes 24 with the easy-releasable tape 25 again. As said easy-releasable tape 25 , different kinds of material can be used, such as a tape with polyethylene film stuck to extensible film of polyester used as a base.

Use of either transparent or translucent sheet of plastic film as the base 1 and the check valves 5 is good enough for making a buffer packing bag and visible inside of the bag in inflation of the bag as described later. On the contrary, using an opaque sheet of plastic film can keep invisible inside the bag. The sheet used for the bag will depend on what is to be contained in the bag.

In FIG. 2 , the buffer packing bag is folded inward from both width sides of the base 1 . The space-making folds 6 , formed to make two lines in each of the two portions of the air-inflatable section 3 are exactly overlapped as spot to spot in the portions. The overlapped areas along the length sides are heat-bonded except for the area of the air-supplying passage 2 to make a loading slit 28 between the meeting ends of the width sides.

Descriptions below are the state of use of a buffer packing bag as structured above and what the effect is.

When air is let in with pressure using a short injection pipe P, for example, fitted tight at the air inlet 13 of the air-supplying passage 2 , the air flows through the check valves 5 into each of the individual air-inflatable parts 4 , which get bulged accordingly.

Even though the bag has multiple heat-bonded spots for the space-making folds 6 and a bending fold 7 in each of the individual air-inflatable parts 4 , the provision of the clearance 6 b , 7 b on both sides of respective partial bonded spots 6 a , 7 a allows air flaw through said clearance 6 b , 7 b to make sure of inflation of the bag.

At this point, the heat-bonded areas 27 of the overlapped sections of the base 1 are provided along both of the length sides of the base 1 . The buffer packing bag as bulged with air theoretically makes a box-shaped space 29 with a depth (height) corresponding to the interval L 1 between the space-making folds 6 , shown in FIGS. 3 , 4 , 5 .

As a result, when the article A with an edgy and flat cubical form and of a hard material like a portable DVD player is loaded in the bag, the content is smoothly taken in and out of the loading slit 28 without damaging the bag.

The loading slit 28 , as FIGS. 5 , 6 show, can be open wide as the air-inflatable section 3 is folded outward at the bending fold 7 , and make the article A be taken in or out of the slit more smoothly.

The article A in the bag is protected from unexpected coming out of the bag when the loading slit 28 is shut by folding inward at the bending fold 7 as the bag naturally is.

The individual air-inflatable parts 4 are separately arranged like other published buffer packing bags. Damage of individual air-inflatable parts 4 doesn't almost affect the bag on the cushioning effect as a whole. Furthermore, a check valve 5 has an inverted V-shaped bonded area with the top 20 directing to the opening 16 in the check valve body 19 , and a linear heat-bonded area 22 from under the middle of said inverted V-shaped bonded area 21 . The provision of both bonded areas 21 , 22 avoid backward air flow in each of the individual air-inflatable parts 4 .

(Embodiment 2)

With the previous embodiment, the base 1 of the flat buffer packing bag is folded inward from both width sides (heat-bonded areas 8 , 10 ) along the length side of the base 1 lapped one upon another. In the present embodiment, the base 1 of the flat buffer packing bag is folded inward from both width sides (heat-bonded areas 8 , 10 ) along the length side of the base 1 to almost touch each other remaining a slight aperture between the two sides after heat-bonding the area 27 . The aperture forms a loading slit 28 for the article A to be taken in or out. FIG. 10 shows the inflated state of the individual air-inflatable parts 4 in this embodiment, wherein the gap D 1 between the width sides is designed to be substantially zero when the base 1 is folded before inflation. With this embodiment likewise, a space 29 is formed by two space-making folds 6 , so that the article A with a thick form is easily taken in or out by bending the bag at bending fold 7 to make the loading slit 28 open wide.

(Embodiment 3)

The base 1 of the flat buffer packing bag is folded inward from both width sides (heat-bonded areas 8 , 10 ) along the length side of the base 1 to oppose each other with a certain breadth between the two sides after heat-bonding the area 27 . The aperture forms a loading slit 28 for the article A to be taken in or out. FIG. 11 shows the inflated state of the individual air-inflatable parts 4 in this embodiment, wherein both width sides remain apart with a certain gap D 2 to provide a loading slit 28 . The gap D 2 differs from an interval formed between both width sides when the base 1 is folded before inflation. The breadth of the gap D 2 in this embodiment makes the article A be taken in or out more easily than the embodiment in FIG. 10 . The article A, however, is protected from unexpected coming out of the bag because of the containment in the space 29 with the frontal, rear, right, left, upper and lower faces (6 plane surfaces) except for the loading slit 28 .

(Embodiment 4)

FIG. 12 , based on the arrangement of the previous embodiment 2, shows that a flat flap 30 is formed next to the outward side of the heat-bonded area 10 , covering the heat-bonded area 8 . The flap 30 has an adhesive layer 31 , on which a peeling paper 32 is set, attached along the width sides on the inner surface. With the article A in the space 29 , the loading slit 28 is sealed along the surface of the individual air-inflatable parts 4 by the flap 30 after removing the peeling paper 32 on the adhesive layer 31 . FIG. 13 illustrates the base 1 of the buffer packing bag in this embodiment. The adhesive layer 31 and peeling paper 32 are provided along the width side of the flap 30 , which is formed next to the heat-bonded area 10 a at the edge of the width side of the base 1 . The provision of the adhesive flap 30 keeps the surer containment of the article A in the space 29 , which makes it possible without using a packing carton.

(Embodiment 5)

FIG. 14 in the embodiment shows a transcription layer 33 is attached on the outer surface of the individual air-inflatable parts 4 to prevent extraction or be understandable what happened to the bag. This embodiment is illustrated in FIGS. 15 and 16 , the former showing the folded state of the base 1 of the flat buffer packing bag and the latter showing the partial enlarged cross sectional view of same state. On the outer face 4 a of the individual air-inflatable part 4 which is opposite to the adhesive layer 31 of the flap 30 , the transcription layer 33 is laid wider than the adhesive layer 31 along the width side of the individual air-inflatable parts 4 . The transcription layer 33 is composed of a sheet material 35 stuck to the outer surface 4 a by adhesive 34 and a transcription material 36 which is capable of ply separation in respect of said sheet material 35 . After the peeling paper 32 is detached from the flap 30 , the adhesive layer 31 attached to the transcription layer 33 , the transcription material 36 is conveyed to the adhesive layer 31 by the ply separation in respect to the sheet material 35 . The flap 30 cannot be reattached to the outer face of the individual air-inflatable part 4 after the transcription material 36 is transcribed. In consequence, use of a transcription material 36 with printed surface on it helps understand whether the flap is ever detached. The transcription layer 33 may be made of film material instead of the sheet material 35 , or may be good enough to employ a directly printed layer as a transcription layer on the outer surface of the individual air-inflatable parts 4 .

In the present embodiment as described above, the packing bag is sealed by the adhesive layer 31 on the flap 30 which is attached to the transcription layer 33 . In case the transcription layer 33 is removed as a part or whole, thereby resulting in the printed layer being transcribed to the adhesive layer 31 of the flap 30 , a look at the bag can be understandable that the bag is opened in transition, so a prevention of extraction or a change of contents is expected.

The present invention is not limited to the main preferred embodiments as described above. Variations in design should be permissible within the scope for the attainment of the object of the present invention and of the burden of the present invention, and also contained in the claims of the present invention.

The arrangement and use of the present invention as mentioned above have the following useful effects.
