  • the scope of the operation air pressure within the air cushion is 0.5-0.25kg/cm2(gauge pressure).
  • the overall rate of spoilage of plate glass in the process of storage and transportation is over 8% , and even as higher as 30% to 50% in some regions.
  • the overall rate of spoilage of the plate glass can be reduced to less than 1%.
  • the present invention provides a packing device for packing breakable and damageable articles particularly plate glass.
  • the packing device comprises at least one inflatable air cushion and a supporting structure.
  • the air cushion is a closed hollow body of various shapes. The commonly-used is, for example, a band.
  • the design for the outline shape of the air cushion can be conducted in accordance with the structune shape and size of the packed articles.
  • the structure of the air cushion can be a single-layer structure, being manufactured with materials having given strength, ductility, elasticity and artificial high polymer,for example, plastics or rubber, used to store air and maintain air pressure in need.
  • protecting layers can be added to wrap up the air-inflation layer of the air cushion to form a double-layer structure or multiple-­layer structure for the air cushion.
  • the protecting layers of the air cushion can be made of the above said materials for making air cushion, also of other materials, such as wood, paper, synthetic material and fibers.
  • the supporting structure can be made of various materials, such as steel and iron or synthetic materials.
  • the geometric shape of the supporting structure can be designed according to the geometric shape of the articles to be packed.
  • the supporting structure of the packing device used to pack plate glass usually adopts container structure or frame structure.
  • the frame structure is assembled by frame rods with conventional method e.g. hinge.
  • the frame rods have various types, for example, L-type, U-type or straight type.
  • the function of container structure and frame structure is basically the same. Their main difference lies in that the surroundings of the container supporting structure are closed.
  • the supporting structure and the air cushion can be made into one body, or seperated as well.
  • the supporting structure can be fitted with the air cushion in various ways.
  • the supporting structure has channel-type part or flat-­type part to fit with the air cushion.
  • the cross-section of the channel-type part can be various forms such as bow form, flat form etc.
  • a device for air-­inflation e.g. pneumatic valve can be added.
  • holes can be provided for pneumatic valves to pass through.
  • fixing devices can be used to ensure the constituent position of the packed articles and the packing devices.
  • the fixing devices can be rigid or flexible.
  • the packing method for packing breakable and damageable articles comprises using the packing device of the present invention, which comprises at least one inflatable air cushion and a supporting structure, to pack articles to be packed (such as plate glass), and fill the air cushion with air.
  • the inflated air cushion it is possible for the inflated air cushion to increase its function of shock and viberation reduction, as well as clamping.
  • the scope of the operation air pressure within the air cushion is 0.5-2.5kg/cm2(gauge pressure).
  • Fig. 2 to Fig. 5 steel, synthetic material being in conformity with the requirements for making frame rods of the supporting structure should be chosen and be processed by rolling, pressing or other processes according to the required specification and size .
  • the cross sections of the frame rods are formed into bow - type (308) or flat - type (309).
  • the rods are bent into L-type frame rods (206, 207), then hinged plates (203) being easy to fix and convenient to operate and having through holes (204) thereon are welded according to the requirement, at the corner and along both external extremities (205, 305) of L-type frame rods (207).
  • the hinged plates at the corner may be in pairs.
  • a through hole is provided on the top between both hinged plates at the corner.
  • the through hole acts as a leading hole of the pneumatic valve (304).
  • the hinged plate at one extremity of a L-type frame rod is singular, while the hinged plate at the other extremity is in pairs. After both extremities of the L-type frame rod are matched with each other, the hinged plates will be triple.
  • a double-layer structure air cushion is formed by an inner layer (307) and a protecting layer (306) .
  • the inner and protecting layers are formed by extruding and processed into band (of which both extremities are sealed) with required specification and length according to the requirements of design and demand.
  • the inner layer should be well fitted with a pneumatic valve, then the double-­layer structure (302) having been fitted with inner and protecting bands is matched with L-type frame rods (301) .
  • the said matching form (as shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6) is similar to that of wheel tyre and wheel rim.
  • the extremity (303) of the double-layer structure air cushion (302) is embeded in the extremity (305) of L-type frame rods (301).
