As shown in FIG. 1, the air cushioning material 1 according to the present embodiment constitutes a first air chamber 2 that constitutes the bottom part of the accommodating part 4 that accommodates the article 6 to be packed, and a peripheral wall part of the accommodating part 4. A second air chamber 3.

As shown in FIG. 2, the first air chamber 2 includes a top surface portion 21, a bottom surface portion 22 and first to fourth side surface portions 23 to 26 formed by forming a resin sheet or the like in a substantially rectangular shape. The air chamber 2 is formed by bonding so as to have a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape (a substantially rectangular shape in plan view).

The material constituting the first air chamber 2 is not particularly limited as long as the material has a certain degree of flexibility. For example, it is preferable to use a resin sheet made of polyurethane in terms of strength. . Moreover, if the material which comprises the 1st air chamber 2 has a heat-fusion property, the top | upper surface part 21, bottom surface so that the 1st air chamber 2 may become a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape (planar view substantially rectangular shape). The first air chamber 2 can be easily manufactured by heat-sealing the portion 22 and the first to fourth side portions 23 to 26. The top surface portion 21, the bottom surface portion 22, and the first to fourth side surface portions 23 to 26 may be bonded to each other via an adhesive.

The first air chamber 2 is not limited to the one formed as described above. For example, the first air chamber 2 may be formed by blow molding of resin or the like, or the top surface portion 21 and the bottom surface portion 22. Further, it may be formed by folding up one flat unfolded resin sheet or the like including the first to fourth side portions 23 to 26 and bonding the respective sides in contact with each other.

Air is injected into the first air chamber 2 at a substantially central portion of the first side surface portion 23 constituting one short side of the first air chamber 2 that is substantially rectangular in plan view. A valve 5 for exhausting air from 2 is provided.

The valve 5 has a substantially L-shaped pipe part and an on-off valve provided at one end of the pipe part. By opening this on-off valve, air can be injected into the first air chamber 2 and air can be discharged from the first air chamber 2, and by closing the on-off valve, The insides of the first air chamber 2 and the second air chamber 3 (air buffer material 1) are sealed, and leakage of air from the air buffer material 1 can be prevented.

One vent hole 27 is formed in the top surface portion 21 of the first air chamber 2. The vent hole 27 is formed in a substantially central portion of the end portion of the top surface portion 21 on the second side surface portion 24 side facing the first side surface portion 23 provided with the valve 5. The first air chamber 2 and the second air chamber 3 communicate with each other through the vent hole 27.

The opening area of the vent hole 27 in the top surface portion 21 of the first air chamber 2 is such that the air injected into the first air chamber 2 from the valve 5 can support the article 6 to be packed stored in the storage portion 4. It is sufficient that the first air chamber 2 is filled to the extent that it flows into the second air chamber. For example, the opening area of the valve 5 is smaller than the opening area of the vent hole 27. What is necessary is just to set suitably. In addition, what is necessary is just to set the opening diameter of the ventilation hole 27 smaller than the opening diameter of the valve | bulb 5, for example, when the opening part of the ventilation hole 27 and the valve | bulb 5 is circular.

As shown in FIG. 3, pockets 221 and 221 having openings are provided at both outer ends of the bottom surface portion 22 of the first air chamber 2 so that the openings face each other. The pocket 221 is formed by bonding three sides of a substantially rectangular resin sheet to the short side of the bottom surface portion 22 and a part of the long side adjacent to the short side. The bottom plate 29 is attached to the outside of the bottom surface portion 22 of the first air chamber 2 so that both ends in the longitudinal direction of the bottom plate 29 are inserted into the openings of the

pockets

221 and 221. For example, a plastic plate or cardboard can be used as the bottom plate 29.

As shown in FIG. 2, a support portion 28 made of a cylindrical member having a substantially rectangular shape in plan view is provided in the first air chamber 2, and an upper end portion 281 of the support portion 28 is a first portion 281. It is bonded to the top surface portion 21 of the air chamber 2, and the lower end portion 282 of the support portion 28 is bonded to the bottom surface portion 22 of the first air chamber 2. The upper end portion 281 and the lower end portion 282 of the support portion 28 may be bonded by heating and fusing to the top surface portion 21 and the bottom surface portion 22, respectively, or may be bonded via an adhesive or the like. Good.

If the support portion 28 is, for example, in the form of four belts or strings, in order to attach the support portion 28 in the first air chamber 2, eight bonding operations must be performed. However, it is only necessary to perform the bonding operation twice by making the support portion 28 a cylindrical member, and the support portion 28 can be easily attached in the first air chamber 2. Can do.

The area of the support portion 28 having a substantially rectangular shape in plan view (the opening area of the cylindrical member) is set slightly smaller than the area of the bottom portion of the storage portion 4. Thereby, it can suppress that the to-be-packaged goods 6 accommodated in the accommodating part 4 sink into the 1st air chamber 2 side (downward).

Two

air holes

284 and 284 are formed on the peripheral surface portion 283 of the support portion 28 so as to face each other, and air flows into the inside of the support portion 28 through the air holes 284 and 284. The number of vent holes 284 formed in the peripheral surface portion 283 is not particularly limited as long as the strength of the support portion 28 is maintained to some extent, and three or more vent holes 284 may be formed.

The total opening area of the vent holes 284 formed in the peripheral surface portion 283 of the support portion 28 is preferably larger than the opening area of the vent holes 27 formed in the top surface portion 21. As a result, the air injected into the first air chamber 2 is likely to flow into the inside of the support portion 28 before flowing into the second air chamber 3, and the packaged item stored in the storage portion 4. The first air chamber 2 can be filled with air to the extent that 6 can be supported.

The material constituting the support portion 28 is not particularly limited, and for example, a material similar to the material constituting the first air chamber 2 may be used.

The second air chamber 3 includes an inner wall portion 31 constituting the peripheral wall portion of the storage portion 4 and an outer wall portion 32 provided outside the inner wall portion 31 so as to form a gap between the inner wall portion 31 and the inner wall portion 31. A lid portion 33 is provided so as to cover the gap between the inner wall portion 31 and the outer wall portion 32, and the shape of the second air chamber 3 is a substantially rectangular ring in plan view.

The inner wall portion 31 and the outer wall portion 32 of the second air chamber 3 are formed by bonding four sheet-like members formed of a resin sheet or the like in a substantially rectangular shape, or by forming a resin sheet or the like in a substantially rectangular shape. The sheet-like member is folded and bonded to form a cylindrical portion having a substantially rectangular shape in plan view. Each of the inner wall portion 31 and the outer wall portion 32 may be formed by heat-sealing a sheet-like member, or may be formed by bonding the sheet-like member with an adhesive or the like. In addition, the material which comprises the 2nd air chamber 3 should just use the material similar to the said 1st air chamber 2. FIG.

The lid portion 33 has a substantially rectangular ring shape, and the inner edge portion 331 of the lid portion 33 and the upper end portion 311 of the inner wall portion 31 are bonded together, and the outer edge portion 332 of the lid portion 33 and the upper end portion 321 of the outer wall portion 32. And are adhered. The lid portion 33 may be bonded to the inner wall portion 31 and the outer wall portion 32 by heat fusion, or may be bonded via an adhesive or the like.

The lower end 312 of the inner wall portion 31 of the second air chamber 3 is bonded to the top surface portion 21 of the first air chamber 2. Further, the lower end portion 322 of the outer wall portion 32 of the second air chamber 3 is bonded to the four sides of the top surface portion 21 of the first air chamber 2. In this way, the second air chamber 3 having a substantially rectangular ring shape in plan view is formed, and the storage portion 4 for storing the packaged item 6 is formed inside the second air chamber 3.

The

surface fasteners

34, 34 are opposed to the outer upper portion of the outer wall portion 32 of the second air chamber 3 (the outer wall portion 32 constituting a long side having a substantially rectangular shape in plan view) so as to extend in the longitudinal direction. It is attached. Thus, when the air cushioning material 1 is stored in a transport container (for example, a container for transporting an object to be packed, which will be described later), the

surface fasteners

34 and 34 can be engaged with the inner surface of the transport container. If a fastener (not shown) is provided, the air cushioning material 1 and the transport container can be locked together, and the air cushioning material 1 can be easily fixed in the transport container. Further, when the article to be packed 6 is stored in the storage portion 4, the

surface fasteners

34, 34 and the hookable surface fasteners are locked to each other, so that the storage opening of the storage portion 4 of the air cushioning material 1 is expanded. Therefore, the effect that it becomes easy to accommodate the to-be-packaged goods 6 in the accommodating part 4 is also produced.

The above-described air cushioning material 1 according to the present embodiment can be used as an air cushioning material for transporting an object to be packed by being housed in a container for transporting an object 10 as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 4, the bag 10 for carrying an object to be packed has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape having an upper surface portion 111, a bottom surface portion 112, a front side surface portion 113, a rear side surface portion 114, a right side surface portion 115, and a left side surface portion 116. , The storage pockets 12a and 12b provided at substantially the center of the front side portion 113 and the rear side portion 114, and the fastener 13 provided on the upper portion 111 of the heel body 11, respectively. And handles 14, 14 provided on the front side surface portion 113 and the rear side surface portion 114 of the bag main body 11, respectively.

鞄 The main body 11 is composed of a flexible material in each of its upper surface portion 111, bottom surface portion 112, front side surface portion 113, rear surface side surface portion 114, right side surface portion 115 and left side surface portion 116. Examples of such materials include, but are not limited to, fabric materials such as synthetic fiber woven fabric and canvas, leather materials such as natural leather and artificial leather, and vinyl materials.

The size of the cocoon body 11 is such a size that the air cushioning material 1 can be stored in the heel body 11 exactly. As a result, air can be prevented from being excessively bulged to the outside due to air being injected into the air cushioning material 1, and the air cushioning material 1 bulges slightly to the outside. Since the air cushioning material 1 is firmly held in the main body 11, it is possible to suppress the air cushioning material 1 from shifting in the bag main body 11 when the packaged item is conveyed.

A hole 15 that can expose the valve 5 of the air cushion 1 housed in the bag main body 11 to the outside is formed at a substantially lower center of the left side surface portion 116 of the bag main body 11. One end portion of a covering portion 16 that can cover the valve 5 exposed from the hole portion 15 is attached below the hole portion 15, and a surface fastener 172 is attached above the hole portion 15.

A hook-and-loop fastener 171 is attached to the surface on the left side surface portion 116 side of the other end portion of the covering portion 16. Thereby, when the valve 5 exposed from the hole 15 of the left side surface portion 116 is covered by the covering portion 16, the surface fastener 172 and the surface fastener 171 attached above the hole portion 15 of the left side surface portion 116. Can be locked together.

Fasteners 13 are provided continuously from the upper part of the left side surface part 116 of the main body 11 to the upper part of the right side surface part 115 so as to extend in the longitudinal direction of the upper surface part 111. By opening and closing the fastener 13, it is possible to open and close the upper surface portion 111 of the bag main body 11 and the upper portion of the right side surface portion 115 and the upper portion of the left side surface portion 116. Further, by opening the fastener 13, an opening can be formed in the bag main body 11, and the air cushioning material 1 can be stored in the bag main body 11 from the opening.

As shown in FIG. 5, the size of the front side surface portion 113 (rear surface side surface portion 114) is approximately the same as or slightly smaller than the front side surface portion 113 and the rear side surface portion 114.

Plate members

18 and 18 having hard elasticity are respectively attached. Thereby, when air is injected into the air cushioning material 1, the air cushioning material 1 (the bag body 11) is prevented from being excessively expanded toward the front side surface portion 113 side and the rear surface side surface portion 114 side. Even if an impact is applied from the outside of the front side surface portion 113 and / or the rear surface side surface portion 114, the external force due to the impact is dispersed on the surface of the plate-like member 18 and the impact on the air cushioning material 1 is achieved. Can be prevented from concentrating on one point, so that the article 6 can be held and protected with a substantially uniform air pressure at all times.

Further, since the front side surface portion 113 and the rear side surface portion 114 are supported by the plate-

like members

18, 18, it is assumed that an impact is applied to the upper surface portion 111, the right side surface portion 115, or the left side surface portion 116 of the bag body 11. In addition, only the length in the short direction of the upper surface portion 111, the right side surface portion 115, or the left side surface portion 116 is recessed inward. Therefore, the impact from the outside of the upper surface portion 111, the right side surface portion 115, and the left side surface portion 116 is difficult to be transmitted to the packaged article 6, and damage to the packaged article 6 can be effectively prevented.

Furthermore, the front side surface portion 113 and the rear side surface portion 114 are supported by the plate-

like members

18, 18, so that the shape of the bag for carrying the article to be packed 10 can be maintained. In addition, as the plate-shaped member 18, the thing similar to the baseplate 29 can be used.

Storing

pockets

12a and 12b are attached to substantially the center of the front side portion 113 and the rear side portion 114 of the main body 11, respectively. The storage pockets 12a and 12b have a substantially rectangular shape and are large enough to store a label indicating a delivery destination in a courier or the like, a label indicating the type of the article 6 to be packed, etc. Three sides excluding one side of the upper part are attached to the front side surface portion 113 and the rear side surface portion 114 of the bag main body 11.

As described above, since the two

storage pockets

12a and 12b are attached, the label is displayed in one storage pocket 12a and the type of the item 6 to be packed is stored in the other storage pocket 12b. Thus, it is possible to easily determine the type of the article to be packed 6 without opening the container for transporting the article to be packed 10.

A pair of

handles

14 and 14 are provided on the upper part of the front side part 113 and the upper part of the rear side part 114 of the main body 11 by sewing. Thereby, the bag 10 for to-be-packaged goods conveyance can be made convenient for carrying around.

The part which is not bulged to the storage part 4 side. Thereby, since the air of the said bulging part exhibits the buffering effect with respect to the top | upper surface part of the to-be-packaged object 6, it can protect from the impact etc. from the outside over the whole surface of the to-be-packaged object.

And if air is injected into the 1st air chamber 2 and the 2nd air chamber 3 to such an extent that the to-be-packaged object 6 can be hold | maintained firmly, injection of air will be stopped and the on-off valve of the valve 5 will be made into a closed state. . Thus, air does not leak out from the first air chamber 2 and the second air chamber 3, and the packed object 6 stored in the storage portion 4 can be securely held, and the first air Due to the buffering action of the air filled in the chamber 2 and the second air chamber 3, it is possible to prevent the package 6 from being damaged due to an external impact or the like.

Finally, tighten the fastener 13 of the main body 11. As a result, the object to be packed 6 can be packed in a shape that is convenient for carrying, and the object to be packed 6 is firmly held by the air cushioning material 1 so that it can be covered by an impact from the outside during transportation. It is possible to prevent the package 6 from being damaged and the like and to prevent the packaged product 6 from being displaced or collapsed in the storage unit 4.

As described above, in the air cushioning material 1 according to the present embodiment, air is first injected into the first air chamber 2 and then air flows into the second air chamber 3. The chamber 2 is sufficiently filled with air, and the object to be packed 6 can be supported by the air pressure of the first air chamber 2, and the buffering action by the air can be sufficiently exhibited. Thereby, the damage of the article 6 to be packed due to an external impact or the like can be effectively prevented.

Moreover, the bag 10 for transporting an object to be packed containing the air cushioning material 1 can transport the object to be packed 6 in a state protected from an external impact or the like. Etc. can be effectively prevented.
