Claims8
A packaging assembly comprising:
- a pair of first insulation blocks, each first insulation block being rectangular in shape and containing loose fill insulation and having
- six surfaces including a first pair of opposing surfaces, a second pair of opposing surfaces, and a third pair of opposing surfaces,
- each first insulation block of a first dimension as measured between the third pair of opposing surfaces,
- each first insulation block of a second dimension as measured between the first pair of opposing surfaces, and
- each first insulation block of a third dimension as measured between the second pair of opposing surfaces,
- the first dimension of each first insulation block being a thickness;
- a pair of second insulation blocks, each second insulation block being rectangular in shape and containing loose fill insulation and having
- six surfaces including a first pair of opposing surfaces, a second pair of opposing surfaces, and a third pair of opposing surfaces,
- each second insulation block of a first dimension as measured between the second pair of opposing surfaces,
- each second insulation block of a second dimension as measured between the first pair of opposing surfaces, and
- each second insulation block of a third dimension as measured between the third pair of opposing surfaces,
- the third dimension of each second insulation block being a thickness that is about the same as the thickness of each first insulation block;
- a pair of third insulation blocks, each third insulation block being rectangular in shape and containing loose fill insulation and having
- six surfaces including a first pair of opposing surfaces, a second pair of opposing surfaces, and a third pair of opposing surfaces,
- each third insulation block of a first dimension as measured between the second pair of opposing surfaces,
- each third insulation block of a second dimension as measured between the third pair of opposing surfaces, and
- each third insulation block of a third dimension as measured between the first pair of opposing surfaces,
- the second dimension of each third insulation block being a thickness that is about the same as the thickness of each first insulation block and each second insulation block;
- a first enclosure, the first enclosure including a first side, a second side, a third side, a fourth side, and a top side, the first side connected to the third side and the fourth side, the first side opposing the second side, the second side also connected to the second side and the fourth side, and at least one of the first side, second side, third side, and fourth side connected to the top side;
- wherein the first enclosure is arranged in a collapsed form,
- wherein each first insulation block, second insulation block, and third insulation block are arranged on top of and abutting the collapsed first enclosure,
- wherein the pair of first insulation blocks, the pair of second insulation blocks, and the pair of third insulation blocks are arranged in abutting relationship to form a rectangular subassembly, the rectangular subassembly having a first dimension that is about the same as a combination of the first dimension of the first insulation block with the second dimension of the second insulation block and the third dimension of the third insulation block,
- wherein the rectangular subassembly has a second dimension that is about the same as the first dimension of the second insulation block, which is about the same as the first dimension of the third insulation block, and which is about twice the third dimension of the first insulation block,
- wherein the rectangular subassembly has a third dimension that is about the same as the second dimension of the first insulation block, which is also about twice the second dimension of the third insulation block;
- and
- wherein the first dimension and second dimension of the rectangular subassembly are of about the same dimensions as the rectangular space of the collapsed first enclosure.
