1 is a schematic view showing an open position of an embodiment of the frame member of the present invention; FIG. 2 is a view showing a closed position in the first embodiment of the frame member of the present invention; and FIGS. 3A and 3B are respectively showing the first and second aspects of the present invention. The figure is a schematic view of the two frame members before and after the stacking; FIG. 4 is a schematic view showing the use of the frame member to package the lithographic articles according to the first and second figures; and FIGS. 5A and 5B respectively show the first shape of the frame member along the frame of the present invention. The top and bottom cross-sectional views of the plane AA; the 6A and 6B drawings respectively show the top and bottom cross-sectional views of the plane BB of the second profile of the frame member of the present invention; and the 7A and 7B drawings respectively show another aspect of the present invention A schematic diagram of an embodiment.

The frame members shown in the figures are assumed to be in a free state, the single elongate member form comprising at least a first profile 1 and a second profile 2, and having the same width and longitudinally connected by a resilient hinge 3.

Each of the profiles 1, 2 includes an axial groove 10, 20 in which the peripheral edge panel member P (shown in Figure 4) is stored.

The frame member is preferably constructed of a deformable honeycomb material (extending the PE form) such that it can be force-bonded to the grooves 10, 20 with the edge of the flat article to ensure mechanical strength after assembly.

A relatively elastic material enhances the inter-groove bond and compresses the profile 1, 2 to the perimeter of the object P.

The grooves are laterally constrained and have two parallel grooves 11, 12, 21, 22 on the side wings of each profile.

In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2, the grooves are in the form of triangular teeth.

However, the present invention does not exclude trenches of different shapes as long as several components are allowed to overlap in the following cases.

Similarly, in accordance with another aspect not shown in the present invention, at least one of the outer shapes may have a curved fixing member on all or a portion of the object, the edges of which are not straight lines.

The grooves 12a, 22a belong to the outer shape 1, 2 adjacent to the hinge 3, and are provided with contact stoppers accompanying the locking members as will be described later.

These stop members are locked in two positions in a position in which they extend perpendicularly with respect to each other and partially form a corner as shown in Fig. 2.

Providing these stops, however, ensures that the locking is at an angle different from 90 degrees and is suitable for packaging flat objects of a particular contour.

In this position, corresponding to the use of the member of the present invention, the outer shape 1, 2 grooves 10, 20 are individually joined and open at the chin position toward the inside of the angle and are mutually The bridge is connected to receive the corners and the edge of the flat object P as a frame.

The hinge 3 is closed at the corner of the flat member as shown in Fig. 4.

More generally, at the same time the invention may also lock the frame members along The straight edge of the flat object P does not fold the hinge 3 such as a book holder. If this is not done, the two shapes are respectively locked in their respective positions.

Elastic hinge 3 is a thin form of known material by means of component material The field, preferably in the middle of the profile 1, 2, allows the two profiles to be elastically folded relative to one another.

The grooves 11, 12, 21, 22 are arranged to be joined by a common joint head and tail The shape is 1, 2, so that the two identical members are reversely overlapped as shown in Figs. 3A and 3B.

The groove 12 is formed in one of the two series of the first shape 1 The protruding portion 121 has a linear wall extending outward by a lateral shoulder 122 (Figs. 1, 2, 5A, 5B) and when the groove 22 of the second outer shape extends inwardly by the concave surface 221 of the outer flat portion 222 Separated by division.

The grooves 11, 21 are the same as the other two series 1 and 2 Figure 2 shows.

The shape of the concave surface 221 of the second outer shape 2 is suitable for storage by sandwiching The protrusion 121 of the groove 12 is bridged by the first outer shape 1 when the two members are overlapped, as shown in Figs. 3A and 3B.

The end is the protrusion 121 and the concave surface 221 is formed on the member first The side is as shown in Figure 2.

In common, the shoulder 122 of the first outer shape 1 abuts the second outer shape 2 Flat portion 222.

The first stack is very small, which saves a lot of space.

Another preferred storage method is used to expose the frame members.

The stopper of the present invention is formed by the inclined faces 13, 23 and extends to the first The outer shape of the outer shape 1 and the second outer shape 2 are on the sides of the hinge 3.

The inclined surface is designed to abut each other when the hinge is closed, such as the second The figure shows.

In more detail, in one embodiment, the second shape 2 groove The groove 20 is located higher than the groove 10 of the first outer shape 1, as shown in FIG. With this arrangement, the inclined faces 13 of the grooves 11, 12a of the first outer shape 1 come in contact with the inclined faces 23 of the larger surface of the second outer shape 2.

These locking members are preferably constructed by the grooves 22a of the second outer shape 2 When the corresponding projection 121 is surrounded by the opposite concave surface 221, the surface 23a is turned toward the first outer shape to abut the adjacent groove 12a of the outer lateral shoulder portion 122a, as shown in FIG.

At least a series of grooves of the first outer shape 1 (here, the grooves 12) A lower damping group 14 is provided to ensure anti-vibration damping.

The groove 22 of the second outer shape 2 has a single lower longitudinal cavity 24 Damping vibration resistance.

In this embodiment, particularly in FIG. 2, the damping group 14 and the empty The hole 24 is formed on the same side of the first outer shape 1 and the second outer shape 2, but may be disposed on the opposite side if necessary.

The damping group 14 and the cavity 24 thus form a hollow region to absorb It can communicate with the package when it is impacted (drop, vibrate, etc.) and thus can preserve integrity.

If necessary, the longitudinal cavity 24 can be used as an ergonomic accommodation. An accessory for storing packaging materials.

According to an embodiment of the invention, although not shown, the member may include more than two profiles.

The profiles are hinged to each other, such as a bicycle chain, and cover the perimeter of the article P and are tightly clamped.

The second outer shape 2 can be fixed to the lower portion of the lower planar object P as a package base, as shown in FIG.

Finally, the end walls of the longitudinal cavities 24 are preferably curved and applied to increase stability.

According to another alternative of the invention, as shown in Figures 7A, 7B, the profiles 1, 2 are shown in a simple form.

In this selection application, the elastic hinge 3 is more particularly suitable and designed to allow elastic folding in both directions.

The two profile folding directions have been described towards each other in the closing direction.

Figures 7A, 7B depict that the two profiles are at least rearward relative to each other at 180 degrees (the opening direction is indicated by the arrow in Figure 7A).

A 180 degree amplitude is not necessary for closing the fold as previously described, for the reason of protecting the corners of the planar object.

In other cases, however, the fold is specifically designed to allow for the packaging of the shipping frame member itself.

In fact, in order to reduce the space in which the frame members are stored, transported, and delivered to the place of use, it is preferable to fold the two profiles back to each other as shown in Fig. 7B.

In this case, the outer faces of the two profiles 1, 2 or the rear faces 15, 25 will be flat (Fig. 7A, 7B), or their profiles will complement each other to allow each other. Clamp or press back to back when folded 180 degrees backwards.

The present invention has been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and the invention may be modified and modified without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
