DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Detailed and explanatory descriptions in view of preferred embodiments will be given along with the accompanied drawings.

Referring to FIG. 2, an illustrational and structural view showing a packing box for storing fragile substrate made in accordance with the present invention. The packing box for storing fragile substrate made in accordance with the present invention generally includes a body 1 and a cover 2 which can be readily and sealingly enclosed to the body 1 so as to configure a container with dust-proof and humidity-proof rating. The fragile substrate referred in the specification will be referred to the liquid crystal display panels and/or the glass substrates for the liquid crystal display panels.

The body 1 includes at least a first component 11 and a second component 12. The first component 11 includes a first base board 101, and the second component 12 includes a second base board 102. One of the first base board 101 of the first component 11 and the second base board 102 of the second component 12 is provided with a first sidewall 201 extending upward from the first base board 101 or a second sidewall 202 extending upward from the second base board 102. The first component 11 and the second component 12 can be jointed integrally as a single piece, and the first base board 101 and the second base board 102 configure the base of the body 1, and the first sidewall 201 and the second sidewall 202 configure the sidewall of the body 1.

Substantially, the first component 11 and the second component 12 are identical to each other. The first base board 101, the first sidewall 201 of the first component 11, and the second base board 102, the second sidewall 202 of the second component 12 jointly configure at least a port of the body 1. If the first component 11 and the second component 12 merely configure a portion of the body 1, then the body 1 of the packing box can include additional components so as to jointly configure the body 1 by jointing with the first and second components 11, 12 and other components.

According to the embodiment, when the body 1 of the packing box is configured by the first and second components 11, 12 which are later assembled together so as to configure the body 1, it can be readily appreciated that the overall size or dimension of the individual first and second components 11, 12 are comparably smaller than the bulky size of the body 1. Accordingly, the mold for manufacturing the first and second components 11, 12 can be reduced, and the overall cost can be reduced as well.

Referring now to FIG. 3, an illustrational and structural view of a first embodiment of the packing box shown in FIG. 2. The number of the first component 11 is two, and it includes a left upper quarter 111, and a left lower quarter 112. The number of the second component 12 is also two, and it includes a right upper quarter 121, and a left lower quarter 122. The first base board 101 includes a first floor unit 1011, and a second floor unit 1012, while the second base board 102 includes a third floor unit 1021, and a fourth floor unit 1022. The first sidewall 201 includes a first wall unit 2011, and a second wall unit 2012, and the second sidewall 202 includes a third wall unit 2021, and a fourth wall unit 2022. Furthermore, the left upper quarter 111 is configured by first floor unit 1011 and the first wall unit 2011, the left lower quarter 112 is configured by the second floor unit 1012 and the second wall unit 2012. The right lower quarter 121 is configured by the third floor unit 1021, and the third wall unit 2021, while the right upper quarter 122 is configured with the fourth floor unit 1022, and the fourth wall unit 2022. The first floor unit 1011, the second floor unit 1012, the third floor unit 1021, and the fourth floor unit 1022 jointly configure the base of the body 1, and the first wall unit 2011, the second wall unit 2012, the third wall unit 2021, and the fourth wall unit 2022 jointly configure the sidewalls of the body 1. In addition, the left upper quarter 111, the left lower quarter 112, the right lower quarter 121, and the right upper quarter 122 each configures a semi-enclosing box unit in a head-to-tail manner.

It should be noted that the left upper quarter 111 is identical to the right lower quarter 121, and the left lower quarter 112 is identical to the right upper quarter 122. It means that the left upper quarter 111 and the right lower quarter 121 are made with the same mold, while the left lower quarter 112 and the right upper 122 are made with the same mold. By this arrangement, the number of molds used to manufacturing the quarters can be reduced.

Referring now to FIGS. 3 and 4, in which FIG. 3 is an illustrational and structural view of a first embodiment of the packing box shown in FIG. 2; and FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of a joint used in a first embodiment of the packing box shown in FIG. 3. The body 1 further includes a plurality of connectors 4 which includes a bracket 4 and a plurality of screws 42. The bracket 41 is arranged with recesses 411 which embody as an opening or a threaded hole in which the individual screw 42 can pass through or locked up. There are at least two recesses 411. Each of the left upper quarter 111, the left lower quarter 112, the right lower quarter 121, and the right upper quarter 122 is provided with a second threaded hole in alignment with the recesses 42. As shown in FIG. 4, the connector 4 can be used to interlinked the left upper quarter 111, the left lower quarter 112, the right lower quarter 121, and the right upper quarter 122 by placing it in the intersections of those four quarters 111, 112, 121, and 122 and then applying the screws 42 through the recesses 411 and finally anchored into the second threaded holes 43. Once the screws 42 are lock-up, those four quarters 111, 112, 121, and 122 are tightly and integrally interconnected.

Of course, the bracket 41 can be embodied as a rectangular shape, and the number of the recesses 411 can be four, and those recesses 411 can be arranged in four corners in an imagined rectangular. It should be noted that the shape of the bracket 41 and the number of the recesses 41 can be determined accordingly to field applications. For example, the bracket 41 can be embodied as a circular shape, a shape of plum, or other suitable shapes. The number of the recesses 411 can be two, three, four or other suitable numbers as long as the bracket 41 can integrally interlink those four quarters 111, 112, 121, and 122. As a result, no additional limitations should be imposed thereon.

Referring now to FIG. 5, which is an illustrational and structural view of a second embodiment of the packing box shown in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 5, the base board 100 of each of the left upper quarter 111, the right lower quarter 121, and the right upper quarter 122, and the left lower quarter 112 is provided with a dowel pin 1001 and a pinhole 1002 along their adjoining edge, while the base board of the right upper quarter 122, the left lower quarter 112, and the left upper quarter 122 and the right lower quarter 112 is provided also with the pinhole 1002 and the dowel pin 1001. Please referring to FIG. 6, the external side of the dowel pin 1001 is provided with a first hook 1003 which is a flexible member. The inner wall of the pinhole 1002 is provided with a latch 1004 corresponding to the hook 1003. As a result, once the dowel 1001 is inserted into the pinhole 1002, engagement between the first hook 1003 and the second latch 1004 will securely interconnect the two to prevent them from separating. As a result, the left upper quarter 111, the left lower quarter 112, the right lower quarter 121, and the right upper quarter 122 will integrally interengage with each other.

Alternatively, please refer to FIG. 2, which is an illustrational and structural view of a third embodiment of the packing box shown in FIG. 2. The base board of the left upper quarter 111, the right lower quarter 121, and the right upper quarter 122, the left lower quarter 112 is provided with a dowel pin 1005 along their interconnecting edge, while the right upper quarter 122, the left lower quarter 112, and the left upper quarter 111, and the right lower quarter 121 is provided with pinhole 1006 along its interconnecting edge. The inner wall of the pinhole 1006 is provided with a latch, and the dowel pin 1005 is provided with hook which can be readily referred to what disclosed in FIG. 6. As a result, the secure engagement between the dowel pin 1005 and the pinhole 1006 can readily make the left upper quarter 111, the left lower quarter 112, the right lower quarter 121, and the right upper quarter 122 interengaged with each other.

In the above described embodiments, the interengagement between the dowel pin and the pinhole can be embodied with threads so as to conveniently interengage the left upper quarter 111, the left lower quarter 112, the right lower quarter 121, and the right upper quarter 122 in a way that those four quarters 111, 112, 121, and 122 can be jointly connected, and then disassembled when not in use. The convenient configuration can readily bring up many advantages. Of course, the interengagement can be embodied with other forms and configurations. No details are given herebelow.

Referring to FIG. 2, in another alternative embodiment, the packing box is incorporated with a plurality of buffering pad 3. The dimension of each of the buffering pad 3 is slightly smaller than the floor area of the body 1, i.e. the sum of those four quarters 111, 112, 121, and 122. In addition, the buffering pad 3 is made from polypropylene, which has a better impact-absorbing capability as well as excellent mechanic property, such as durable, acid and solvent proof. Most importantly, the polypropylene is excellent for its anti-abrasion property such that no dust will be created. As a result, no worry about contamination of the cleanroom. Relatively, the material used to make the body 1 can be harder, and the price can be comparably cheaper as an excellent buffering pad 3 can be incorporated to serve the intended purpose. As a result, both the buffering requirements as well as the cost can be covered, i.e. the packing box can be provided with excellent buffering property, while the cost is comparably low.

When the fragile substrate is to be packed, the buffering pad 3 is firstly disposed on the floor of the base board of the body 1, and then the fragile substrate is disposed on the buffering pad 3. Afterward, a second buffering pad 3 is laid upon the fragile substrate, and then another buffering pad 3 is laid on top of the fragile substrate. By this arrangement, once a pre-determined number of substrates are properly arranged within the body 1, the cover 2 is finally disposed on top of the body 1, and the packing of the fragile substrate is completed. If there is some additional space while there is no other substrates need to be packed, then additional buffering pad 3 can be put in so as to fill up the space.

It should be noted also that the buffering pad 3 can also be divided into different sections. For example, if the buffering pad 3 is made by way of molding, then the buffering pad 3 can also be formed into four individual units corresponding to each of the quarters 111, 112, 121, and 122. By this arrangement, the dimension of the mold can also be reduced, and the cost is reduced accordingly.

In addition, referring to FIG. 8, which is an enlarged view of a joint used in a fourth embodiment of the packing box shown in FIG. 2. The packing box made in according to the present invention further includes a reinforced block 300 and which can be embodied into a corner block 3001 which is disposed in the corner, and a middle block 3002 which is arranged on a middle of the sidewall so as to further enhance the rigidity of the body 1.

In the above described embodiment, the first component 11, and the second component 12 each is made from Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (aka ABS), or High Density Polyethylene (aka HDPE) by way of injection molding as single piece including the base board and its sidewall. Both the ABS and the HDPE are good enough to satisfy the requirement for positioning the glass substrate as well as providing a buffering therebetween. In addition, these materials are readily available with reasonable cost. Again, this material can help to reduce the manufacturing cost.

In addition, the cover 2 can also make from ABS or HDPE. Alternatively, the cover 2 can also be configured from several units corresponding to the first component 11 and the second component 12. The cover 2 can also embodied into four units, i.e. the left upper cover unit, the left lower cover unit, the right lower cover unit, and the right upper cover unit, corresponding to those four quarters 111, 112, 121, and 122. On the other hand, the left upper cover unit and the right lower cover unit are identical from each other, and the left lower cover unit and the right upper cover unit are identical from each other. As a result, only a single mold can be used to make the left upper cover unit and the right lower cover unit and the left lower cover unit and the right upper cover unit. This arrangement again can reduce both the manufacturing molds as well as the manufacturing cost.

It should be noted that the dimension of the packing box can be readily adjusted and set according to the dimensions of the glass substrates to be packed therein. Accordingly, there is no additional limitation imposed thereon.

The present invention provides a packing box for storing fragile substrate, and in which the packing box can be configured with any one of the above described configuration as well as material. Alternatively, the cover can be omitted for simplicity.

In conclusion, the present invention can be concluded with at least the following advantages.

1. The body of the packing box is configured with a plurality of compact units and quarters such that the dimension of the mold can be reduced, and therefore reducing the manufacturing cost as well.

The body of the packing box is made from ABS or HDPE with low buffering property, while the buffering pad can be made from PP with comparably better buffering property. The ABS or HDPE are strong and durable under impact, while the PP has excellent impact-absorbing capability. As such, this material can compensate from each other so as to reduce the overall manufacturing cost of the packing box.
