Bag for moisture removal
A bag for moisture removal comprises a box with a box cover containing exsiccator and a bag for enclosing the exsiccator box. The box cover is provided with many fine holes, and the bag is provided with a plurality of through holes on one side thereof in a corresponding area, which through holes are sealed from outside by an adhesive paper sheet when the bag is not in use. The lower portion of the bag forms a liquid container. To use the bag for moisture removal, the adhesive paper sheet is removed firstly and the bag is hanged in a room. The exsiccator absorbs the moisture in the air and produces water drops, which flow through diversion grooves to be collected in the liquid container, thereby achieving the effect of keeping the room from being over moist.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to bags for moisture removal, and more particularly to a bag for moisture removal comprising a box with a box cover containing exsiccator and a bag for enclosing the exsiccator box. The box and the box cover each include at least one diversion groove, which combine to form a water channel as the box and the box cover are buckled together. The box cover is provided with many fine holes, and the bag is provided with a plurality of through holes on one side thereof in a corresponding area, which through holes are sealed from outside by an adhesive paper sheet when the bag is not in use. The lower portion of the bag forms a liquid container. To use the bag for moisture removal, the adhesive paper sheet is removed firstly and the bag is hanged in a room. The exsiccator absorbs the moisture in the air and produces water drops, which flow through diversion grooves to be collected in the liquid container, thereby achieving the effect of keeping the room from being over moist. The bag for moisture removal is further advantageous in occupying little space.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Exsiccator of various types is widely utilized to maintain the aridity of objects so that they are not easy to deteriorate and that they would weigh less for shipment. The contents of objects being applied a bag for moisture removal or exsiccator of the prior art can be medicine, food, optical instruments, precision electronic instruments, magnetic disks, cameras, furniture, fabrics, books, paintings, toys, etc. Especially when being sea-shipped in a cargo container, a large variation in temperature in a cargo container would often cause an invasion of a substantial amount of moisture, resulting in condensed water drops spread over the shipped objects. To prevent the objects from further erosion, it is necessary to provide an effective mechanism of moisture removal that occupies the least possible space in the container.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONAccordingly, the primary objective of the present invention is tp provide a bag for moisture removal capable of effectively absorbing moisture within a limited space.
A further objective of the present invention is to protect objects in a cargo container from damage due to moisture and at the same time to occupy the least possible space in the container.
To achieve above object, the present invention provide a bag for moisture removal comprising: a box for containing exsiccator being provided with at least one first diversion groove and a box cover, the box cover having a plurality of fine holes spread over a surface thereof and having a second diversion groove corresponding to the first diversion groove; and a bag for enclosing the combined box and box cover, the bag having a plurality of through holes on one surface thereof corresponding to the fine holes on the enclosed box cover, an adhesive paper sheet sealing the through holes of the bag, the bag being melt-sealed at a top end and partially melt-sealed in a middle section to form a binding section around which the diversion grooves go through, a lower portion of the bag forming a liquid container for collecting water drops produced in the box and flowing through the diversion grooves; and the adhesive paper sheet being removed firstly and the bag being hanged in a room, the exsiccator absorbing moisture in the air and producing water drops, which flow through diversion grooves and are collected in the liquid container, thereby achieving the effect of keeping the room dry.
Moreover the present invention provides a bag for moisture removal comprising a box for containing exsiccator being provided with at least one first diversion groove and a box cover, the box cover having a plurality of fine holes spread over a surface thereof and having a second diversion groove corresponding to the first diversion groove; a bag for enclosing the combined box and box cover, the bag having a plurality of through holes on one surface thereof corresponding to the fine holes on the enclosed box cover, an adhesive paper sheet sealing the through holes of the bag, the bag being melt-sealed at a top end and partially melt-sealed in a middle section to form a binding section around which the diversion grooves go through, a lower portion of the bag forming a liquid container for collecting water drops produced in the box and flowing through the diversion grooves; and an outer cover provided with an open bottom end and a top connecting portion for connecting an upper end of the bag for moisture removal, a window being formed on one side of the outer cover corresponding to the fine holes on the box cover, and the outer cover being expanded and standing uprightly, the water drops formed by absorption of moisture flowing into the liquid container of the bag, the liquid container being supported by a stand of the outer cover so that the bag for moisture removal may keep in a standing configuration.
Moreover, the present invention provides a bag for moisture removal comprising an exsiccator pack; and a bag enclosing the exsiccator bag being provided with a plurality of through holes and having a lower portion that forms a liquid container; the bag for moisture removal providing a fast effect of moisture removal for spaces of higher moisture.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description of preferred embodiments, when read in conjunction with the appended drawings.

Therefore, exsiccator 14 is firstly placed in the receptacle 110 within the box 11, and then the box cover 12 is buckled with the box 11. Next, the bag 13 is used to enclose the combined box 11 and box cover 12, having the side provided with the through holes 130 facing the fine holes 120 on the box cover 12. At the same time, the diversion groove 112 of the box 11 and the diversion groove 122 of the box cover 12 coupled together pass through two openings about the binding section 133 in the middle portion of the bag 13. The box 11 combined with the box cover 12 thus mounted within the bag 13 exhibits a stable straddling mounting mechanism. Finally, the upper end of the bag 13 is melt-sealed, leaving an extended section on which a hanging hole 134 is provided. A bag for moisture removal 1 according to the present invention is thus assembled.
Another packing method of a bag for moisture removal 1 of the present invention is that the exsiccator 14 is firstly placed in the receptacle 110 within the box 11 and is then retained as the box cover 12 is covered thereon. The bag 13 is used to enclose the combined box 11 and box cover 12 to form a bag for moisture removal 1, which is then inserted into a vacuum bag 5, as shown in
A bag for moisture removal 1 thus assembled is for hanging within a room or a cargo container, as shown in

According to the above descriptions, the present invention has the following advantages.
1. The bag for moisture removal takes a flat or bar-like shape and is for hanging in a room or in a storage cabinet to remove moisture, which occupies little space.
2. The box of the bag for moisture removal has one side being trapezoid-shaped, which is accommodated to grooves on the wiggled wall of a cargo container.
3. The bag for moisture removal, being used with a carton outer cover and a carton stand, can stand uprightly on the floor of a basement or a regular room.
4. The carton outer cover and carton stand of 3 are provided with folds for collapsing the body of the bag for moisture removal so as to facilitate the shipment of the bag for moisture removal.
5. The bag for moisture removal is folded and packed in a packing box for storage and shipment. In this configuration the packing box can not only pack but also retain the bag for moisture removal.
6. In another packing configuration exsiccator 14 is directly packed in a bag for providing a faster effect of moisture removal, which particularly suits spaces of high moisture.
