  • Patent number: 6619481
    Abstract: A means is provided for packaging disc drives and other information-storage devices in a manner that reduces transmittal of shock to the packaged device. The device is placed in a static-disssipative package comprising an upper and lower portion, each of which has external protrusions that deform to absorb shock. Further anti-impact protection is provided by internal buttresses that cushion the packaged device. The package is preferably a unitary article molded from PVC plastic sheeting, with the upper and lower portions joined at an accordion-like hinge. The upper and lower portions nest together at the peripheral edges, providing a labyrinthine path (in effect, a seal) that prevents passage of contaminants. Shock transmittal (relative to an unprotected drive) is reduced by a factor of approximately 5-7.

  • Patent number: 6137694
    Abstract: A computer has a chassis with a variety of electronic components mounted to it. The chassis is generally rectangular and slidably mounted within a sheet metal enclosure. The enclosure closely receives the chassis to eliminate excessive movement therebetween. The enclosure is essentially a four-sided box with an opening at either end. A front panel is attached to one of the openings. The front panel and the enclosure each contain half of a labyrinth seal which seals one end of the enclosure when the front panel is assembled to the enclosure. A similar seal is formed at the other end of the enclosure when the chassis is mounted in the enclosure. The labyrinth seals have a folded configuration which forms an interleaving arrangement.

  • Patent number: 5906281
    Abstract: As to a packing container, when a corrugated cardboard sheet where metallic foil is stuck on one of its sides is assembled so as to have a box-shape, an edge left for applying paste and a side on which the edge left for applying paste is stuck are connected by metallic foil tape so that metallic foil on the sides inside the box joins along an internal circumferential surface of the box. As a result, since a closed path is formed along the internal circumference of the packing container, partial charging of a packing container is prevented by short-circuiting or shielding charged static electricity, and an electrostatic breakdown of contents, such as a semiconductor device, is prevented.

  • Patent number: 5823352
    Abstract: A specialized container is ideally suited to protecting electronic boards being transported from injury due to physical shock and electrostatic shock. The container consists of an outer shell and at least one insert. The outer shell and each insert can be made of electrostatic discharge protective corrugated fiberboard material. The outer shell is basically a rectangular prism, suitable for receiving a electronic board with a substantially rectangular base. A first insert is easily placed within the outer shell, consisting of a platform on which the board will rest and at least one resilient and compressible support member extending down from the platform to the bottom panel of the outer shell. To provide further protection for the board, a second insert may be placed on top of the first, with a tab extending downward from the second insert to a slit in the first insert platform. The board then rests on the platform of the second insert.

  • Patent number: 5613610
    Abstract: A naturally degradable and recyclable static-dissipative packaging material has a layer of relatively rigid paperboard laminated to at least one film of permanently static-dissipative glassine or cellophane. Containers, and dividers and pads used in the containers, are formed from this composite material to protect packaged articles sensitive to electrostatic discharge. The permanently static-dissipative film of glassine or cellophane is electrostatically volume dissipative, so as to prevent an electrostatic charge from being held and then discharged when articles are inserted into, and/or removed from the containers. A metallized internal surface of the laminated glassine or cellophane forms a Faraday cage around a packaged article. For metallized or unmetallized embodiments, with either one or two films of glassine or cellophane, all the components of this packaging material are considered biodegradable and repulpable.
