1. Technical Field
The present invention relates to a packaging structure, particularly to a buckling type packaging structure used for buckling an article having at least one pair of diagonal corners.
2. Related Art
By the development of the industry, more and more products such as books, LCD television, tablet PC, or electrical book reader, etc. are manufactured. It has been a problem for preventing the collision of the products when in transportation.
One of the conventional methods for protecting the product is directly covering the product with buffering parts, and another method is placing the product in a packaging box, and then covering the packaging box with the buffering parts. In other words, the buffering parts are covered outside the product (including books, LCD television, tablet PC, notebook, electrical book reader, or the packaging box used for packaging the product) to have the buffering effect when the collision happens.
The common used buffering parts are usually four pieces parts covering the four corners of the product, or U-shaped two pieces parts covering two opposite sides of the product. Even though those arrangements have buffering effect, however, there is no connection among each piece of the four pieces buffering parts or between each piece of the two pieces buffering parts, which results in poor fixation effect, and is easy to detach from the product.
Moreover, the aforementioned buffering parts are made of chemical materials such as polystyrene and polyethylene, and large amount of harmful gas will be generated during the manufacturing process. The gas may remain on the buffering parts for a long time, which can cause bad effect for the health of the user. Also, those materials are hard to degrade, and discarding the buffering parts may cause the environmental pollution.
BRIEF SUMMARYThe present invention provides a buckling type packaging structure. By using fasteners which can buckle between a single pair of diagonal corners or more than one pair of diagonal corners of an article in a way of diagonal buckling or diagonal cross buckling, the fastener flexibly connects between the single pair of diagonal corners or among each diagonal corners of the article, and thus the fastener can be firmly fixed to the article without detachment.
The present invention provides a buckling type packaging structure for packaging an article having a plurality of diagonal corners, including a first fastener having a first arm and two first buckles, each of both ends of the first arm formed with a first buckle, each first buckle having a concave trough; and a second fastener having a second arm and two second buckles, each of both ends of the second arm formed with a second buckle, each second buckle having a concave trough; wherein the concave troughs of the first fastener and the concave troughs of the second fastener are used for accommodating any two pairs of the plurality of diagonal corners of the article, the first fastener buckling between one of the any two pairs of diagonal corners of the article by the two first buckles, and the second fastener buckling between the other one of the any two pairs of diagonal corners of the article by the two second buckles.
The present invention also provides a buckling type packaging structure for packaging articles having at least one pair of diagonal corners. The packaging structure includes a fastener having a first arm and two buckles, each of both ends of the first arm formed with a buckle, each of the two buckles having a concave trough, the fastener buckling between the pair of diagonal corners by the two buckles, and the pair of diagonal corners being accommodated in the two concave troughs, respectively.
The present invention has the following functions compared to the conventional technique: by using the fastener or fasteners which can buckle between a single pair of diagonal corners or more than one pair of diagonal corners of an article in a way of diagonal buckling or diagonal cross buckling, the fastener flexibly connects between the single pair of diagonal corners or among each diagonal corners of the article, and thus the fastener can be firmly fixed to the article without detachment.
These and other features and advantages of the various embodiments disclosed herein will be better understood with respect to the following description and drawings, in which like numbers refer to like parts throughout, and in which:
The present invention provides a buckling type packaging structure, which is used to buckle an article to prevent the disassembling of the article when in transportation. Preferably, the present invention can also provide buffering function when collision happens. The aforementioned articles can be book, LCD television, tablet PC, electrical book reader, etc., or the packaging box used for packaging products.

The first fastener 1 includes a first arm 11 and two first buckles 12. Each of both ends of the first arm 11 is formed with one first buckle 12. Each first buckle 12 has a first concave trough 121. The second fastener 2 includes a second arm 21 and two second buckles 22. Each of both ends of the second arm 21 is formed with one second buckle 22. Each second buckle 22 has a second concave trough 221. Each first concave trough 121 of the first fastener 1 can be used to accommodate each diagonal corner 91 or each diagonal corner 92 of the article 900, and each second concave trough 221 of the second fastener 2 can also be used to accommodate each diagonal corner 91 or each diagonal corner 92 of the article 900, which means if the first concave troughs 121 accommodates the diagonal corners 91, respectively, the second concave troughs 221 will accommodate the diagonal corners 92, or vice versa. By this arrangement, the first fastener 1 can buckle between the two diagonal corners 91 or the two diagonal corners 92 of the article 900 by the two first buckles 12, and the diagonal corners 91 or the diagonal corners 92 can be accommodated in the first concave troughs 121 of the first fastener 1. The second fastener 2 can also buckle between the two diagonal corners 91 or the two diagonal corners 92 of the article 900 by the two second buckles 22, and the diagonal corners 91 or the diagonal corners 92 can be accommodated in the second concave troughs 221 of the second fastener 2. The shape of the first concave trough 121 is corresponding to that of the two diagonal corners 91 and the two diagonal corners 92 of the article 900. The shape of the second concave trough 221 is also corresponding to that of the two diagonal corners 91 or the two diagonal corners 92 of the article 900. By this arrangement, the first concave troughs 121 or second concave troughs 221 have better compact fitness with the diagonal corners 91 or 92, and the first buckles 12 or second buckles 22 can even firmly buckle to the diagonal corners 91 or 92.
The first fastener 1 and the second fastener 2 can buckle between the two diagonal corners 91 and the two diagonal corners 92 on the same side of the article 900, respectively (not shown in the figures). Preferably, as shown in
By the packaging structure according to the present invention, four corners of the article 900 can be firmly buckled. Moreover, due to the diagonal cross buckling method, the buckling is very solid, and the disassembling of the article 900 when in transportation is not easy.
