HOLLOW TUBE CUSHIONING PACKAGING MATERIAL STRUCTURE
A packaging material structure is formed by a plurality of hollow tubes stacked on and juxtaposed next to one another. The packaging material structure forms at least one accommodating space for holding any fragile or delicate objects. More particularly, the hollow tubes are formed from drawing paper pulp of waste paper or plant fiber to replace polluting chemical materials to achieve the object of environment protection.
a) Field of the Invention
The invention relates in general to a packaging material structure, and more particularly, to a hollow tube cushioning packaging material structure made from a paper material (including waste paper), plant fiber or paper pulp.
b) Description of the Prior Art
With the continual progress of technologies, common commercial daily electronic appliances, electronic devices, precision products or fragile products, in order to provide a more esthetic appearance and to protect the intactness of products, are packaged by harder packaging materials or packaging materials of better quality. During the production process of products, associated components need to be transported to reach down-stream manufacturers. To prevent damages caused by collision, vibration or extrusion, packages materials such as polystyrene foam and expandable polyethylene (EPE) generally referred to as foam paper are also adopted to secure products and to provide extra space to reduce impact.
Cushioning materials made from the foregoing polystyrene foam and EPE generally referred to as foam paper are common conventional approaches. However, with the rise of environmental awareness, these conventional cushioning materials made from polystyrene foam and EPE generally referred to as foam paper are being gradually replaced or even banned.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIt is a primary object of the present invention to achieve objects of cushioning external impacts and recycling waste for environmental protection by hollow tubes made from paper pulp, paper materials or plant fiber, and particularly by hollow tubes drawn and made from paper pulp of waste paper.
To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a hollow tube cushioning packaging material structure including a plurality of hollow tubes. The hollow tubes are crossed and stacked or juxtaposed to form a packaging material structure, which forms an accommodating space therein.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the accommodating space is formed by the hollow tubes in a surrounding manner.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the accommodating space is defined by the hollow tubes having different lengths.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the hollow tube cushioning packaging material structure further includes a plurality of cushioning tubes respectively installed in crevice spaces defined by the hollow tubes stacked and juxtaposed.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the cushioning tubes are made from paper pulp of waste paper.
It is a secondary object of the present invention to replace the conventional polystyrene foam and EPE generally referred to as foam paper to achieve pollution-free environmental protection.
It is another object of the present invention to reinforce the cushioning effect of a packaging material structure and to enhance protected objects by increasing the crevice spaces with the cushioning tubes between the hollow tubes.
The above and other aspects of the invention will become better understood with regard to the following detailed description of the preferred but non-limiting embodiments. These embodiments can be understood and accordingly implemented by one person having ordinary skill in the art. According to contents, claims and drawings disclosed by the disclosure, one person having ordinary skill in the art can easily understand objects and advantages of the present invention.
The above and other aspects of the invention will become better understood with regard to the following detailed description of the preferred but non-limiting embodiments in the disclosure to one having ordinary skill in the art.
Structures, ratios and sizes in the drawings of the application are for illustrating the contents of the disclosure for one person having ordinary skill in the art to better understand and read the application, and are not to be construed as limitations to the implementation of the present invention and do not imply any substantial technical meanings. Any structural modifications, ratios changes or size adjustments, without affecting the effects and achievable objects of the present invention, are regarded within the scope of the technical contents disclosed by the present invention. Terms such as “one”, “two” and “up” used in the disclosure are descriptive for easy understanding, and are not to be construed as limitations to the implementation of the present invention. Without substantially altering the technical contents, changes or adjustments made to the relations of the terms are also encompassed within the implementation scope of the present invention.
In addition to the foregoing embodiments,
While the invention has been described by way of example and in terms of the preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto. On the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements and procedures, and the scope of the appended claims therefore should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar arrangements and procedures.
