Abstract
A multi-purpose air-packing method and system enables to pack a product having an irregular shape easily at low cost. The air-packing method includes the steps of placing a product to be protected in a container box; applying a first air-packing device having a plurality of air containers to side surfaces of the product in a manner to surround the product in the container box; and inflating the air-packing device by supplying an compressed air to securely hold the product within the container box.
Description
- This invention relates to an air-packing system to pack a product of various shapes, and more particularly, to an air-packing method and system utilizing an air-packing device having a plurality of air containers to pack a product of various shapes and sizes in a container box to securely protect the product from shocks and vibrations.
- A styroform packing material has been used for a long time for packing commodity and industrial products. Although the styroform package material has a merit such as a good thermal insulation performance, it has also various disadvantages, i.e., recycling the styroform is not possible, soot is produced when it burns, a flake or chip comes off when it is snagged because of it's brittleness, an expensive mold is needed for its production, and a relatively large warehouse is necessary to store it.
- Therefore, to solve such problems above, other packing materials and methods have been proposed. One method is a fluid container (air-packing device) for sealingly containing a liquid or gas, typically an air as a cushion. An air-packing device has excellent characteristics to solve the problems in the styroform. First, because the air-packing device is made of only thin films, it does not need a large warehouse to store it unless the air-packing device is inflated. Second, a mold is not necessary for its production because of its simple shape and structure. Third, the air-packing device will not produce a chip or dust which has adverse effect on precision products. Further, recyclable materials can be used for thermoplastic films of the air-packing device. Furthermore, the air-packing device can be produced with low cost.
-
FIG. 1 shows an example of air-packing device in the conventional technology. The air-packing device 10 a is composed of first and second air-packingthermoplastic films check valve 11. Typically, each thermoplastic film is composed of three layers of materials: polyethylene, nylon and polyethylene which are bonded together with appropriate adhesive. The nylon layer is incorporated to increase physical strength of the thermoplastic film. The first and second thermoplastic films are heat-sealed together aroundseal portions container bag 10 a sealed with theheat seal portions FIG. 1 . - Air-packing devices are becoming more widespread because of the above noted advantages. Products to be enclosed by air-packing devices come in various shapes, sizes and materials. Moreover, a product having a simple shape can have a complicated shape when combined with other products. Generally, it is difficult and time consuming to pack a product that has irregular shapes or sizes in a container box. Two or more different types of air-packing devices of complicated structure may be necessary to firmly hold a product having a complicated shape. Moreover, it is not cost effective to manufacture specific air-packing devices tailored to fit to each unique product. Thus, there is a need for a cost effective air-packing system that can be applied to various products.
- It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a multi-purpose air-packing method and system to enclose a product that comes with various shapes and sizes within a container box with use of an air-packing device of simple structure.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a method and system to pack a product by an air-packing device as an inflatable cushion for protecting the product from damages due to shocks and vibrations where the air-packing device is configured by a plurality of air containers each having a check valve.
- It is a further object of the present invention to provide an air-packing method and system to securely enclose a product of complicated shape in a container box in which an air inlet port of an air-packing device is projected from the container box thereby enabling to supply the compressed air after closing the container box.
- It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method and system to enclose a product of complicated shape in a container box to prevent damages to the product due to shocks and vibrations by using an air-packing device having a plurality of air containers of different cross sectional sizes.
- One aspect of the present invention is a method of packing a product to prevent damages to the product due to shocks and vibrations. The method includes the steps of: placing a product to be protected in a container box; applying a first air-packing device having a plurality of air containers to side surfaces of the product in a manner to surround the product in the container box; and inflating the air-packing device by supplying compressed air to securely hold the product within the container box.
- The method of packing a product further includes the step of laying out a second air-packing device on a bottom surface of the container box as a bottom air cushion before placing the product in the container box. The method further includes the step of laying out a third air-packing device on a top of the product in the container box as a top air cushion after applying the first air-packing device to the sides of the product.
- In the air-packing method, preferably, an air inlet port of the air-packing device is exposed through an opening of the container box to outside of the container box, thereby enabling to supply the compressed air to the air-packing device after closing the container box.
- In the present invention, the plurality of air containers of the first air-packing device have an identical cross sectional size with one another. Alternatively, the plurality of air containers of the first air-packing device have different cross sectional sizes from one another. The air containers of the air-packing device with small cross sectional size are arranged at one end of the air-packing device. The air containers of the first air-packing device with small cross sectional size and large cross sectional size are arranged in a predetermined order so that the air containers of the air-packing device fit with a product of particular outer shape.
- Another aspect of the present invention is an air-packing system for packing a product to prevent damages to the package due to shocks and vibrations. The air-packing system is comprised of a container box for placing a product to be protected therein; a first air-packing device having a plurality of air containers and is applied to side surfaces of the product in a manner to surround the product in the container box; wherein the first air-packing device is inflated by supplying compressed air to securely hold the product within the container box.
- According to the multi-purpose air-packing method and system of present invention, a product that comes with various shapes and sizes can be securely packed within a container box with use of an air-packing device of simple structure. The air-packing device as an inflatable cushion is able to protect the product from damages due to shocks and vibrations where the air-packing device has a plurality of air containers each having a check valve. The air-packing method and system of the present invention can enclose a product of complicated shape in a container box by using an air-packing device having a plurality of air containers of different cross sectional sizes.

The present invention utilizes one or more air-packing devices having a plurality of air containers to pack a product in a container box to absorb shocks and vibrations that encounter during the shipment of the products. Generally, the container box used in air-packing system is a carton box, but other type of boxes such as a wood box or plastic box can be used as well.
-
FIGS. 2A and 2B show an example of an air-packingdevice 10 b with a plurality of air containers where each air container is provided with a check valve. A main purpose of having a plurality of air containers with corresponding check valves is to increase reliability. Namely, even if one of the air containers suffers from an air leakage for some reason, the air-packing device can still function as a cushion of a product in the distribution channel because other air containers can remain inflated. The structure having a plurality of air containers allows the air-packing device to be bent at the boundary of the air containers to create a desirable shape. - The air-packing
device 10 b is made of first and second thermoplastic films which are bonded together around arectangular periphery 23 a and further bonded together at eachboundary 23 b of twoadjacent air containers 22 so that aguide passage 21 and a plurality ofair containers 22 are created. When the first and second thermoplastic container films are bonded together at the hatchedareas FIG. 2A , thecheck valves 11 are also attached to each input of theair container 22. By attaching thecheck valves 11, eachair container 22 becomes independent from the other. Aninlet port 24 of the air-packingdevice 10 b is used when filling an air or other types of fluid to eachair container 22 by using, for example, an air compressor. -
FIG. 2B is a perspective view showing the air-packingdevice 10 b having themultiple air containers 22 when it is filled with the compressed air. Eachair container 22 is filled with the air from theinlet port 24 through theguide passage 21 and thecheck valve 11. To avoid a rupture of the air container by variations in the environmental temperature, the supply of compressed air to the air container is typically stopped when theair container member 22 is inflated at about 90% of its full expansion rate. After filling the air, the expansion of eachair container 22 is maintained because each check-valve 11 prevents the reverse flow of the air. Typically, the air compressor has a gage to monitor the supplied air pressure, and automatically stops supplying the air to the air-packingdevice 10 b when the pressure reaches a predetermined value. - The
check valve 11 is typically made of one or two thermoplastic valve films to form a fluid pass (not shown). The fluid pass has a tip opening and a valve body to allow a fluid flowing through the fluid pipe from the tip opening but the valve body prevents the reverse flow of the air. Typically thecheck valve 11 is prepared before manufacturing the air-packing device and attached to the thermoplastic film during the procedure of bonding the thermoplastic films. - The structure and procedure of enclosing a product or a set of products by the air-packing system of the present invention is described in detail with reference to partially cut-out perspective views of
FIGS. 3-7 . In the drawings, the front side of a container box (ex. carton box) 50 is cut out for an illustration purpose to show the inside of thecontainer box 50. In the example ofFIGS. 3-7 , two or more air-packing devices each having a plurality of air containers of the same size and shape are used in thecontainer box 50. -
FIG. 3 shows the air-packing system of the present invention where a bottom air-packingdevice 40 as a bottom air cushion is laid out in thecontainer box 50. The bottom air-packingdevice 40 shown inFIG. 3 is comprised of a plurality ofair containers 42 such as shown inFIG. 2A and 2B . It is also feasible to use a conventional fluid container made of only one air container body that hold the compressed air as shown inFIG. 1 . InFIG. 3 , an air inlet port and check valves of the air-packingdevice 40 are omitted for simplicity of illustration. - When the bottom air-packing
device 40 is laid on the bottom surface of thecontainer box 50, aproduct 43 to be packed in thecontainer box 50 is placed on the air-packingdevice 40 as shown inFIG. 4 . Theproduct 43 can be a single product or a set of two or more products (in this example, two packages of products). Rather than a simple box shape, theproduct 43 in this example has a relatively complicated outer shape. -
FIG. 5 shows the condition where another air-packingdevice 60 having a plurality of air containers is placed in thecontainer box 50 in a manner to surround the sides of theproduct 43. In this example, the air-packingdevice 60 is not inflated at this stage, however, it is also possible that the air-packingdevice 60 is inflated by the compressed air before being placed in thecontainer box 50. The air-packingdevice 60 is composed of anair passage 71, anair inlet port 74, and a plurality ofair containers 62 each of which has acheck valve 61. Preferably, a further air-packing device which is similar to the air-packingdevice 40 is placed at the top of theproduct 43 and air-packing device 60 (FIG. 6B ). Alternatively, the top portion of the air-packingdevice 60 will be inwardly bent to cover the top area of theproduct 43. - After the air-packing
device 60 is placed inside of thecontainer box 50 inFIG. 5 , the air-packingdevice 60 is filled with the compressed air through theinlet port 74 by means of, for example, an air compressor (not shown).FIG. 6A shows the condition where the air-packingdevice 60 is inflated so that theproduct 43 is securely held by the air-packingdevice 60 which is supported by thecontainer box 50. As noted above, preferably, a further air-packingdevice 40 which is the same or similar to the air-packingdevice 40 is placed at the top of theproduct 43 as a top air cushion. Thus, as shown in a cross sectional front view ofFIG. 6B , the air-packing system is configured by a firstair packing device 60 that surrounds the sides of theproduct 43, a second (bottom) air-packingdevice 40 a on the bottom surface of thecontainer box 50, and a third (top) air-packingdevice 40 b on the upper surface of theproduct 43. -
FIG. 7 is a plan view showing the relationship between theproduct 43, the inflated air-packingdevice 60, and thecontainer box 50 as described above with reference toFIGS. 3-6 . The air-packingdevices FIG. 6B ) at the top and bottom of theproduct 43 are not shown for simplicity of illustration. In this manner, theproduct 43 is tightly packed by the air-packingdevices container box 50. - It should be noted that although the container box (carton box) 50 has a conventional box shape, the method described above may be applied to any shape of a container box as well. Although the air-packing
device 60 is placed at the sides of theproduct 43 to surround theproduct 43 in the example described above, such an encircling air-packing device may be placed to surround the top and bottom of theproduct 43. In such a situation, the air-packingdevices container box 50 may be positioned at the sides of theproduct 43. -
FIG. 8A is a top view of the container box in another embodiment of the present invention where aproduct 83 having a shape different from that of theproduct 43 inFIGS. 3-7 is packed by an air-packingdevice 70 within thecontainer box 50.FIG. 8B is a front view of the air-packingdevice 70 when it is flatly extended before placing in thecontainer box 50 ofFIG. 8A . The air-packingdevice 70 in this example has a plurality ofair containers air containers 73 have a cross sectional size smaller than that of theair containers 72.FIG. 8B also showscheck valves 84 provided to theair containers - The
air containers 73 with smaller size will be configured, for example, at one end of the air-packingdevice 70 to contact with the surfaces of theproduct 83 at an area having a relatively complicated shape. Theair container 73 with smaller cross sectional size can be more flexible to fit with the irregular outer shape of theproduct 83. Thus, even though theproduct 83 has the irregular shape, the air-packingdevice 70 can securely hold theproduct 83 within thecontainer box 50 when it is inflated. - A further embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to
FIGS. 9 and 10 .FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing the air-packing system of the present invention where an air inlet port of the air-packing device is projected from the container box.FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the air-packing system 9 having the air inlet port on the container box viewed in an angle different from that ofFIG. 9 . InFIG. 9 , unlike an actual embodiment, the front side of thecontainer box 50 is illustrated in a transparent manner to show the configuration of acontainer box 100 and an air-packingdevice 60 in thecontainer box 100. - In
FIG. 9 , theproduct 43 to be protected is placed on the bottom air cushion made of the air-packingdevice 40 which is laid out at bottom of thecontainer box 100. Theair inlet port 74 of the air-packingdevice 60 is projected from thecontainer box 100 through an opening 102 (FIG. 10 ) formed on the wall of thebox 100. This configuration allows the compressed air to be supplied to the air-packingdevice 60 after thecontainer box 100 is closed. - In the case where a large number of products having the same shape and size are to be distributed, air-packing devices specifically made for such products can be used for packing the products. Such an example is shown in
FIGS. 11A and 11B where an air-packingdevice 90 is configured by air containers of different sizes that are aligned in the order specific to the particular shape of aproduct 113.FIG. 11A is a plan view showing the air-packing system specifically made for packing theparticular product 113 having a complicated shape, andFIG. 11B is a front view of the air-packingdevice 90 ofFIG. 11A when it is flatly extended. - More specifically, the air-packing
device 90 includesair containers air container 93 is larger than that of theair container 92. Theair containers 92 and theair containers 93 are arranged in a specific order to match the outer shape of theproduct 113 to be protected. The front view of the air-packingdevice 90 inFIG. 11B also shows such an order of theair containers FIG. 11B also shows thecheck valves 104 for thecorresponding air containers FIG. 11A , theair containers 93 fit with the relatively large indented portions of theproduct 113 to fill-in the spaces between thecontainer box 50 while theair containers 92 are positioned at relatively narrow areas in thecontainer box 50. - According to the multi-purpose air-packing method and system of present invention, a product that comes with various shapes and sizes can be securely packed within a container box with use of an air-packing device of simple structure. The air-packing device as an inflatable cushion is able to protect the product from damages due to shocks and vibrations where the air-packing device has a plurality of air containers each having a check valve. The air-packing method and system of the present invention can enclose a product of complicated shape in a container box by using an air-packing device having a plurality of air containers of different cross sectional sizes.
- Although the invention is described herein with reference to the preferred embodiments, one skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations may be made without departing from the spirit and the scope of the present invention. Such modifications and variations are considered to be within the purview and scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
