MULTI-AXIAL, THIN WALL, BLOW-MOLDED PLASTIC STRUCTURES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PACKAGING CUSHIONING
20230021318 · 2023-01-26 · ·

A multi-axial blow-molded packing cushion is a resilient, hollow, thin-walled, generally parallelepiped blow-molded body, having opposite ends, each end defining a groove thereacross. The grooves are each sized and shaped to receive opposite edges of a rectangular opening in a packing insert. Each packing cushion may be snap-fitted into the packing insert rectangular opening by sliding a first end of the packing cushion into a rectangular opening, aligning a first groove defined across the first end of the packing cushion with a first edge of the rectangular opening and pressing down on the packing cushion to snap-fit a second groove defined across a second end of the packing cushion over a second edge of the rectangular opening, with the second grove aligned with the second edge of the rectangular opening. The packing insert, with maintained cushions, is disposed between a packed item and outer packaging, on each item side.

PANEL PACKAGING TRAY
20230227231 · 2023-07-20 ·

A panel packaging tray includes a packaging case including a sidewall which defines a receiving section in which a display panel is accommodated and a plurality of supports disposed on an inside surface of the sidewall, where the supports guide a position of the display panel on a plane crossing the inside surface. A supporter of the supports includes a fixing unit coupled with the sidewall and a buffer unit disposed between the fixing unit and the display panel. The buffer unit includes a straight portion, a corner portion, and a curved portion located between the straight portion and the corner portion, based on a direction parallel to the plane. A curvature of a curved surface included in the curved portion is determined by a maximum tilt angle by which the display panel is allowed to be tilted in a state of being accommodated in the receiving section.

Encapsulating packaging cushions, systems and methods, and methods of manufacturing encapsulating packaging cushions
11702235 · 2023-07-18 · ·

A packaging cushion is provided which has a bottom cushion piece, first and second side cushion pieces, a front cushion piece, a rear cushion piece, and a translated top cushion piece. The bottom cushion piece defines a void cavity and front entry portion. The first side cushion piece may be substantially perpendicular to the bottom cushion piece, and the second side cushion piece may be substantially perpendicular to the bottom cushion piece and opposite the first side cushion piece. The front cushion piece may be substantially perpendicular to the bottom cushion piece and may define an entry space adjacent to the front entry portion. The rear cushion piece may be substantially perpendicular to the bottom cushion piece and opposite the front cushion piece. The translated top cushion piece extends from the rear cushion piece and is displaced from the void cavity. The packaging cushion at least partially covers six sides of a product housed therein. Methods of packaging products and methods of manufacturing a one-piece encapsulating packaging cushion using a male mold and a female mold are also provided.

Packaging structure and delivering device

A packaging structure is used for carrying at least one carried object. The packaging structure includes a carrying unit and a covering member. The carrying unit includes a supporting plate, at least one first side plate connected to the edge of the supporting plate, and at least one combing member. The supporting plate has two opposite surfaces, and the first side plate is able to bend to one of the surfaces of the supporting plate, so that the carrying unit can be folded or unfolded. The first side plate is stacked on the supporting plate when the carrying unit is in the folded state, and the combing member keeps the first side plate stacked on the supporting plate. The covering member positions the carried object on the carrying unit. A delivering device is provided for clamping and positioning a plurality of the packaging structures in an upright manner.

Expanded slit sheet cushioning products with novel reduced dimension slit patterns
11702261 · 2023-07-18 ·

In the preferred embodiments, the present invention provides substantially improved slit sheet cushioning products by advantageously combining novel paper properties with novel slit patterns for improved features and characteristics. In some illustrative and non-limiting example embodiments, cushioning products of the present invention can include, e.g., a novel slit sheet material in combination with extensible paper employed as, e.g., a cushioning pad or as cushioning within an envelope product, wherein the cushioning product can be substantially more resilient, but, yet, e.g., thinner for better utilization of space.
