In this case, the base packing 30 absorbs the shock, and the thicker the buffer thickness (a) of the base packing, the more the impact of the washing machine 10 can be protected.

On the other hand, recently, due to the limitation on reducing the size of the washing machine 10 and the tendency to reduce the logistics cost by increasing the loading quantity of the container during transportation, the packaging size of the washing machine 10 also tends to be reduced.

However, when the base packing for a washing machine according to the prior art transmits an impact or external force to the corner portion of the base packing 30, the corner portion of the base packing 30 is deformed and absorbs the impact or external force. When the external force is not large enough to absorb all of the base packing 30 is folded or bent to break, thereby causing the lower part of the washing machine 10 may be damaged by the transmitted shock.

In order to prevent damage to the washing machine 10 as described above, the buffer thickness a of the base packing 30 should be sufficiently thick, but in this case, the washing machine 10 is loaded in a container when the packing size of the washing machine 10 is increased ( There is a problem that the number of steps of 10) is reduced and the logistics cost is increased.

The present invention was created in order to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to prevent the edge portion of the base packing is broken when the impact and external force is applied to the lower part of the washing machine is installed packing, and also of the base packing It is to provide a base packing for a washing machine that can reduce the buffer thickness.

The base packing for a washing machine of the present invention for realizing the above problems is a base packing formed of a cushioning member such as styrofoam so that the washing machine is raised to protect the lower part of the washing machine, and is mounted to cover the corners of the base packing. It is characterized by consisting of a protective means for protecting the corner portion.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 2 is a perspective view showing a washing machine is installed in accordance with the present invention, Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view showing a base packing viewed from the bottom according to the present invention, Figure 4 is a perspective view showing a protective means according to the present invention .

The washing machine installed packing according to the present invention, as shown in Figure 2, is mounted along the both sides curve of the upper washing machine 50 to protect the upper part of the washing machine 50 from impact or external force during transportation and loading of the washing machine 50 The upper packing 60 to be mounted, the base packing 70 for raising the washing machine 50 to protect the lower part of the washing machine 50, and mounted to cover four corners of the base packing 70 from impact. It comprises a protection means 80 for protecting the base packing (70).

Here, the upper packing 60 and the base packing 70 is generally made of a cushioning material such as styrofoam, and an appropriate cushioning thickness (b) for protecting the washing machine 50 by buffering external shocks and loads. Will have

Meanwhile, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the base packing 70 is provided with an installation unit 72 on which four protection parts 80 can be attached and installed below four corner portions, and the installation unit ( 72 has a step inwardly formed with the thickness of the protection means 80 in the same shape as the surface on which the protection means 80 is attached so that the installed protection means 80 does not protrude.

The protection means 80 is a triangular pyramid structure consisting of a base portion 84 in close contact with the lower surface portion 82 and the bottom surface in close contact with both sides of the installation portion 72, the side portion 82 and the base portion 84 is They are connected at right angles to each other to form three sides of a triangular pyramid, and the other side is open to cover the installation portion 72.
