Description of the Invention (1) The present invention is entitled "Encapsulation. Sometimes it is desirable to pack several items in a common package ... to enable consumers to sequentially remove these items for use. The present invention is particularly suitable for packaging of small «pools which can be used to fill personal products such as aids in articles similar to sugar aids which tend to be used on a mineral basis, * 霣The life of the pool is rather short, and users usually keep it on standby. "The pool is on their body and they buy it once. For example, a package with 4 or 6 pools will also be used." Everyone knows that ft plastic gold is packaged into sixteen to sell to consumers. A small type of cell for a hearing aid is a zinc-air type cell \ like-air type cell including a small pore on its golden shell β, and the pore must be exposed for the supply Make. However, if the stomata are exposed * even if the battery is not used for charging-supplies. It is not a drain of electricity, typically within three months. Because of one factor: • When the battery is manufactured, or even when it is installed in a section of a supply. • The air hole must be sealed. A technology that has been used to package DURACELL ACTIVAIR zi-air batteries is to cover the air holes by adding an adhesive plastic magnetic sheet to the pond. The magnet sheet is attached with a flange portion K protruding outside the edge of the pond. It is beneficial to grab the magnetic disk and remove it from the pool when it is going to be used. The known DORACELL ACTIVAIR «cell package (for example, which contains 4 or 6 offset magnetic tanks each with a separate sealed magnetic sheet) contains a plastic container, which includes a plastic waist container which can be stored and stored individually. The base formed by the pocket of the pool · M and a middle portion spliced to the base: The M can be in a closed position (where the crotch and the base form a wrapper enclosing the pond) and an available The enclosed Xiaochi can be easily taken out.

Description of the invention (2) The open state of the pool moves. Although this kind of packaging is very convenient for consumers. From the perspective of the manufacturing industry, it is not without its shortcomings. Attaching a sealed magnetic sheet to the battery makes it difficult to fill such a container automatically. Therefore, in the implementation, it is necessary to manually fill the tank to the pocket of the container. However, it is very inefficient. * The above-mentioned disadvantages of the needle series of the present invention are provided as a solution. "This case proposes a package. This package contains a base with a number of β pockets.« Other items are stored in these pockets. A single element made of a flexible sheet material. This element includes a ridge / M adhered to the substrate and an article cover connected to the ridge and extending above a different object. The article cover is adhesively adhered. Items connected to the pockets "When these items are 霣 霣, especially 綷 -air type 霣. · This item ♦ · The covering part will cover and seal the air holes of the m pools until the 霣 pool needs to be used At the time ►Because the single sheet material element was adhesively attached to the substrate, it helped to keep the batteries in the pockets of the battery, and deliberately thought that it was not only the pockets themselves Funded to hold the battery in place; Therefore, it is not necessary to tighten the pond, so it can allow such pockets to be made with large manufacturing tolerances, and it is possible to make the pond easier to remove from their pockets. When a «pool pain is to be used, it is lifted from the bag (the flexibility of the sheet element allows this movement) · Then the pool is peeled from its adhesively attached cover 9 in order to help移动 Position: The cover of the sheet element preferably includes a flange that protrudes in a direction away from the ridge. . Grasp a stack of flanges with κ fingers and pull it away from the base. The knot's covering will be biased and the quilt attached to it will embroider its pocket. ψ This paper uses the Chinese National Standard (CNS) M specifications (210X297 mm) ----------- I installed--! ----- Order ------ Paper I---(Please read "Notes on the back side before filling out this page") Printed by the Consumers' Cooperative of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs A7 B7 V. Invention Description (3 ) Using a chip made of a flexible sheet material to cover the MEMS tank simplifies the automatic operation of the packaging process, because a sample «component can be loaded after the tank is loaded into the pocket * by A kind of Fu Mei's post is suspected to be added. • It means that these pools can be filled with an automatic filling and packed into the bag at the same time. Therefore, according to a second aspect, the present invention lies in: A method of packaging an article, comprising the steps of: (i) providing a substrate with a separate bag portion for accommodating a different article. (Π) M-an automatic filling machine for loading items into the bag. (iii) K A kind of self-adhesive «Eave to E» an element made of a flexible thin material to the base and the article loaded into the bag, the element includes an adhesive It is more convenient to attach the part on the substrate / and an article cover that is adhesively attached to the hired item: the flexible sheet elements are fed into the labeling machine in a strip shape, The strip is attached to a series of components carried on a substrate. A more detailed description of the present invention will now be highlighted through the attached beautiful style.

Description of the invention (4) The sixth circle is a device that is not used to perform the packaging process. _ The zinc-air type tank package illustrated in the formula contains a univalent plastic container 1. It is made of chess A stack of objects including a base 2 and a stack 3. The frame is K. A molded key 4 is connected to the base. And the closed and open shapes shown in the 2 circles are moved respectively. In order to fix the cover in a closed shape, a supplementary spring buckle combination 5 is provided at the base far from the key 4 and the edge of the 蹵. 6. A slightly convex platform or base 10 is formed in or on the container base 2. On the platform, there is an upstanding longitudinal rail 11 (the fifth wake) that defines a generally flat upper surface 9 on the platform. Each side of 11 is formed with pockets 12 (No. 5), and other zinc-air batteries 14 are stored therein. As shown, a total of 6 pockets are arranged in three pairs. The pockets 12 of each pair are laterally opposite each other with respect to the rails 11. These batteries 14 are traditional stilts in appearance when embedded in the pockets 12 • The tops of the ponds are flat The "face" means some faces with air holes, which are approximately on the same plane as the upper surface of the rail 11. What is applied to the base 2 and the battery 14 stored in the bag is a sheet of flexible plastic sheet material. Made of a single element 15. This element contains a ridge 16 * which is overlaid and is adhesively connected to the rail 11 Surface 9. Extending from the ridge are 6 covering portions 174 which are wrapped in the covering bag portion 12M and the hyena 14 housed therein.
