Abstract
A package assembly includes a package member and a securing member. The package member includes a holding seat configured for holding an electronic device and a plurality of grasping portions extending from the holding seat for grasping the electronic device. The securing member includes an enclosing frame, attached to and surrounding the holding seat, and at least one resisting section, extending from the enclosing frame and adhered to the holding seat, and the securing member made from adhesive tap.
Description
BACKGROUND

1. Technical Field


The present disclosure relates to a packaging assembly.


2. Description of Related Art


A package assembly includes at least one foam, made from expanded polyethylene or extruded polyethylene material, and a paper box, configured to accommodate an electronic device and the foam. However, the foam sometimes cannot securely grasp the electronic device. The electronic device is still easily to be damaged when it is dropped or suffers from impact.


Therefore, there is room for improvement in the art.





BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Many aspects of the embodiments can be better understood with references to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the embodiments. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.



FIG. 1 is an exploded, isometric view of a packaging assembly in accordance with an embodiment.



FIG. 2 is an assembled view of the packing assembly of FIG. 1.





DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The disclosure is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings in which like references indicate similar elements. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references mean at least one.



FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a package assembly. The package assembly includes a package member 10 and a securing member 20. In one embodiment, the package member 10 is used for packaging an electronic device, such as a computer host. The securing member 20 is made from adhesive tape.


In one embodiment, a main portion of the package member 10 is made from expanded polyethylene material. The package member 10 includes a holding seat 11 and a grasping portion 13 protruding from each of four corners of the holding seat 11. An accommodating space 30 is formed between the holding seat 11 and the grasping portion 13.


The holding seat 11 includes two vertical resisting portions 114 and a plurality of connecting portions 112 perpendicularly connected to each of the two vertical resisting portions 114. A first groove 1121 is defined in each of the plurality of connecting portions 112. The first groove 1121 includes a first base surface 1123 and a first slanting surface 1125 connecting with the first base surface 1123. A first angle between the first base surface 1123 and the first slanting surface is not less than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees. A plurality of reinforced ribs 1126 protrudes from the two vertical resisting portions 114. A pair of second grooves 1140 is defined in each of the two vertical resisting portions 114. Each pair of second grooves 1140 includes a second base surface 1142 and a second slanting surface 1144 connecting with the second base surface 1142. A second angle between the second base surface 1142 and the second slanting surface 1144 is not less than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees. The first base surface 1123 is substantially perpendicular to the second base surface 1142.


At least one second reinforced rib 131 is attached to and protrudes from an exterior surface of the grasping portion 13. In one embodiment, the at least one second reinforced rib 131 is made from extruded polyethylene material.


The securing member 20 includes an enclosing frame 21 and a pair of resisting sections 23 extending from the enclosing frame 21. The enclosing frame 21 includes a vertical section 211, a pair of horizontal sections 213 substantially perpendicular to the vertical section 211, and a pair of slanting connecting sections 215 connected to two ends of the vertical section 211 and the pair of horizontal sections 213. The pair of resisting sections 23 is connected to and substantially perpendicular to the vertical section 211.



FIG. 2 shows that in assembly, the enclosing frame 21 is adhered to and surrounds the holding seat 11. The vertical section 211 is located in the first groove 1121 and adhered to the first base surface 1123. Each of the pair of resisting sections 23 is located in the second groove 1140 and adhered to the second base surface 1142. In one embodiment, the vertical section 211 abuts the first slanting surface 1125. Each of the pair of resisting sections 23 abuts the second slanting surface 1144.


In use, the electronic device is placed in the accommodating space 30 formed by the package member 10. The grasping portion 13 grasps the electronic device. The securing member 20 helps the package member 10 to securely grasp the electronic device in the accommodating space 30.


It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages have been set forth in the foregoing description of embodiments, together with details of the structures and functions of the embodiments, the disclosure is illustrative only and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the disclosure to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
