  • Publication number: 20160122111
    Abstract: A cushion package structure includes at least a plate and two or more blocks. The plate is disposed within a storage box and the blocks are the same and pivotable with one another. As a number of blocks are connected with one another serially with various including angle between each adjacent two, one or multiple block sets may be formed thereby. Positioning holes on the plate having substantially same contour as corresponding positioning sections on the blocks are further prepared to engage with the positioning sections as the block sets are put to be disposed on the plate, thereby forming a storage space with a specific shape within the storage box. The blocks may be removed from the plate, rearranged, and redisposed on another plate, so that a storage space with a different shape may be defined.
