Abstract
A packing apparatus for liquid crystal display modules simplifies a packaging process for packaging liquid crystal display modules and is easily incorporated into an automated manufacturing and packaging line. The packing apparatus includes a body including a receiving space for separately receiving liquid crystal display modules. The body has a structure including a lower plate, a plurality of side walls extending from each side edge of the lower plate and upper plates extending from each upper edge of the side walls. Projection members are provided on the outer surfaces of the body to relieve and absorb an external impact.
Claims18
A combination comprising:
- a plurality of liquid crystal display modules;
- and
- a liquid crystal display module packing apparatus having the plurality of liquid crystal display modules packed therein, the liquid crystal display module packing apparatus including:
- a single unitary body including a lower plate;
- a plurality of side walls each extending from a respective side edge of the lower plate, each of the side walls including at least one upper plate extending from an upper edge of the respective side wall and being integrally formed with the respective side wall;
- a plurality of fixing jaws connected to the single unitary body and arranged to define at least one liquid crystal display module holding unit which includes two adjacent fixing jaws for holding one of the plurality of liquid crystal display modules, the two adjacent fixing jaws being spaced from each other by a distance that is slightly greater than a thickness of the liquid crystal display module and is set such that the liquid crystal display module is held in the liquid crystal display module holding unit and contacts the two adjacent fixing jaws of the liquid crystal display holding module;
- and
- protrusions extended outwardly from each end of outermost fixing jaws to relieve an impact from the exterior of the packing apparatus.
