Abstract
Description
- This non-provisional application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) on Patent Application No. 100150094 filed in Taiwan, R.O.C. on 2011 Dec. 30, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
- The present invention relates to an air cylinder structure, and more particularly to a folding-clasp-typed cushioning air cylinder structure.
- An air tight enclosure is made of resin film, and formed into air-tight air cylinders by means of hot sealing. Furthermore, an air filling entrance for air filling is disposed therein, allowing the air tight enclosure to cushion a packed object after air is filled into the air cylinders via the air filling entrance.
- Among air-filling air cylinder technologies, there is a cushioning air bag with a free opening, or a hammock structure of cushioning air bag; however they all have a common problem, i.e. the air cylinder cylinders must be formed as a face body to have a cushioning force if a corner, rhomboidal angle or edge of the enclosure is hit when an internal object drops. But, when the object drops to hit the enclosure with an acute angle thereof, a single air cylinder must be used to response the edge or rhomboidal angle of the object. However, the air cylinder cannot withstand one-dot or one-line impact force such that the cushioning protection of the object cannot be effected.
- To solve these technological problems, the present invention provides a folding-clasp-typed cushioning air cylinder; including two cushioning portions, a support portion and a plurality of clasp points, where an accepting space for receiving an object is formed between the two cushioning portions; the support portion is positioned between the two cushioning portions, the support portion includes a propping portion, two supporting section sections, and two connecting portions; the propping section includes a propping face and propping up the object, two ends of the propping section propping against the two cushioning portions; the two supporting sections are connected to two ends of the propping section; and, the two connecting portions respectively couple the two cushioning portions to the two respective supporting sections, the two connecting portions are substantially parallel to the propping section; and, the plurality of clasp points are positioned on the two supporting sections and couple the two cushioning portions to the two supporting sections.
- In the present embodiment, the plurality of support portions on the plurality of cushioning portions can provide projecting and more highly strengthened propping faces to prop up an outer object after air filling to cushion and support it; the support portions can be used as assistance in the cushioning portions bearing the weight of an outer object and impact forces, thereby preventing the outer object from damage due to impact.
