Honeycomb cell shock-protection paper pad structure, and fabrication method and fabrication apparatus

A honeycomb cell shock-protection paper pad structure for packaging, wherein the shock-protection paper pad structure comprises a honeycomb cellular structure having hexagonal cells that is formed of a group of paper strips connected together in a uniformly distributed and spaced manner and has upper and lower surfaces, each of the paper strips comprising connected portions and unconnected portions alternately arranged in a lengthwise direction of the paper strip, wherein each of the connection portions is connected to another one of the paper strips to form a connected site of the paper strip, and each of the unconnected portions forms an unconnected site of the paper strip,

• wherein each of the paper strips (1) includes upper and lower edges respectively extending along the upper and lower surfaces of the honeycomb cellular structure and respectively defining upper and lower ends, and each of the paper strips (1) is provided with folded-edge bend portions (1-1) at the upper and lower ends of the unconnected sites thereof, and the paper strip (1) is provided with a central bend portion (1-2) at a portion of the connected sites thereof between and spaced from the upper and lower edges,
• wherein the central bend portion is set at a portion of the connected site adjacent to a portion of the unconnected site between the folded-edge bend portion at the upper end and the folded-edge bend portion at the lower end in a direction extending between the upper end and the lower end,
• wherein the central bend portion is formed on the connected site and extends in a direction parallel to the lengthwise direction of the paper strip;
• and the folded-edge bend portions are provided on the upper and lower edges on the unconnected site and extend in a direction parallel to the lengthwise direction of the paper strip, the central bend portion being located between and spaced from the folded-edge bend portions of the upper and lower edges in the direction extending between the upper end and the lower end.
