  • Publication number: 20080107362
    Abstract: An air-packing device has an improved shock absorbing capability to protect a product in a container box. The air-packing device is comprised of an enclosure portion that surrounds and supports a pocket portion that holds a product to be protected such that the pocket portion does not contact the ground when shocks are applied to the air-packing device. Each of the enclosure portion and the pocket portion is configured by first and second thermoplastic films which are bonded at predetermined portions thereby creating a plurality of air containers. Each of the air containers has a check valve for allowing the compressed air to flow only in a forward direction.

  • Publication number: 20070246394
    Abstract: An air-packing device has an improved shock absorbing capability to protect a product in a container box. The air-packing device is comprised of a plurality of edge air-packing blocks. Each edge air-packing device includes a wall portion that surrounds and supports a pocket portion that holds an edge of the product to be protected such that the pocket portion does not contact the ground when shocks are applied to the air-packing device. Each of the enclosure portion and the pocket portion is configured by first and second thermoplastic films which are bonded at predetermined portions thereby creating a plurality of air containers. Each of the air containers has a check valve for allowing the compressed air to flow only in a forward direction.

  • Publication number: 20070163916
    Abstract: An air-packing device has an improved shock absorbing capability to protect a product in a container box. The air-packing device is comprised of first and second thermoplastic films where predetermined portions are bonded thereby creating a plurality of air containers, a plurality of heat-seal lands each sealing the first and second thermoplastic films in a small area of the air container thereby creating a plurality of series connected air cells for each air container, a plurality of check valves for corresponding air containers for allowing the compressed air to flow in a forward direction. A bendable flap portion is created that facilitates opening and closing operations so that a product to be protected can be easily placed or removed.

  • Publication number: 20070084745
    Abstract: An air-packing device inflatable by compressed air for protecting a product, where the air-packing device is used in a pair to securely hold the product for protection. The air-packing device is configured by an inflated portion that has a plurality of air containers, each of the air container having a check valve that prevents reverse flow of air, an uninflated potion that is not filled with compressed air, an air input commonly connected to the plurality of check valves to supply the compressed air to the air cells through the check valves. The plurality of air containers create an enclosure structure to surround one end of the product to be protected, and the uninflated portion is flipped inside the enclosure structure to create a pouch portion that holds the package to be protected.
