Abstract
An air-packing device has an improved shock absorbing capability to protect a product in a container box. The air-packing device is configured by first and second plastic films which are bonded at predetermined portions thereby creating a plurality of air containers, each of the air containers having a plurality of series connected air cells; a plurality of check valves established at inputs of the corresponding air containers for allowing compressed air to flow only in a forward direction; and an air input commonly connected to the plurality of check valves. Through a post heat-seal treatment predetermined edge portions are bonded, thereby creating an inner space for packing a product therein and an opening for loading the product therethrough.
Claims15
An air-packing device inflatable by compressed air for protecting a product therein, comprising:
- first and second thermoplastic films superposed with each other where predetermined portions of the first and second thermoplastic films are bonded, thereby creating a plurality of air containers, each of the air containers having a plurality of series connected air cells;
- a plurality of check valves established at inputs of the corresponding air containers between the first and second thermoplastic films for allowing the compressed air to flow in a forward direction, the check valve being attached to only one of the first and second thermoplastic films;
- an air input commonly connected to the plurality of check valves to supply the compressed air to all of the series connected air cells through the check valves;
- and
- wherein, through a post heat-seal treatment, predetermined edge portions of the air-packing device are bonded with one another after being folded, thereby creating an inner space for packing a product therein and an opening for loading the product therethrough.
