Abstract: A slip-out preventive unit of a supply exhaust pipe assembly with a supply exhaust pipe forming a faucet at one end and forming an insertion port at the other end. The faucet having a cut window to allow the lock portion of a lock member to pass through the faucet to engage a circumferential groove of the insertion port. A slip-out prevention unit of which the lock member is a component, to guide and constrain the lock member to engage the circumferential groove, resulting in the holding of the insertion port within the faucet preventing unwanted separation after connection of the assembly. A slide guide allows movement of the lock member in an axial direction of the faucet where the tip of the lock member may be constrained from radial movement of the engagement portion of the lock member by a locking bag wall upon an attempt to separate the insert portion from the faucet.

Abstract: Sheets of laminated paper are stacked and made into air-tight flat bags with air inlets. After air is supplied into the bags, the air inlets are air-tightly closed to form shock absorbers 50 encapsulating the air. The laminated paper is made by stacking on a paper base a water-soluble polyvinyl alcoholic layer, having a saponification of 80 to 90 mol % and a degree of polymerization of 500 to 2500, to a total thickness of 90 .mu.m or less and a gas permeability of 800 thousand seconds per 100 ml or more.

A package 100 is made by putting an appropriate number of discrete shock absorbers 50, or a continuous series of shock absorbers 50, in gaps between a casing 10 and the package content 70. The shock absorbers 50 need not be spread all over the entire surface of the package, so long as they are sufficient to provide the needed contact area to ensure a maximum static load of 0.07 kgf/cm.sup.
