Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention is suitable for transporting precision equipment outsourced to transport companies, is simple and easy to pack, and provides sufficient cushioning for the transported items. To provide a mat for transporting precision equipment that protects against shocks, vibrations, etc., and can be made much smaller when not in use than when in use.

[Conventional technology]

Increasingly, precision equipment such as computer components that can be easily damaged by impact must be transported. When the same parts are transported more frequently and are used in so-called returnable boxes, it does not require the hassle of packaging, provides sufficient protection through cushioning properties for the precision equipment being transported, and is not used. It is desirable to use packaging materials that are much smaller during storage (such as during storage) than when in use and can withstand repeated use.

There have been transportation mats in the past, in which simple cushioning material was sewn onto the mat and the mat was tightened from the outside with a belt.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

When using the above-mentioned conventional technology, there are problems in that the buffering capacity is insufficient, which often causes damage to the precision equipment packed during transportation, and it also takes a considerable amount of time to pack. Ta.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is made of a foldable and flexible material, and when in use, the outer shape becomes a cuboid, and out of its 12 edges, 4 circumferences of the bottom The 7 edges except for one side of the top surface are connected by fasteners, and if you release the fastener connection of the 7 edges, there is a 1 which consists of 4 rectangular parts extending from the 4 circumferences of the bottom surface and the bottom surface part.
A thick cushioning material layer that is divided into multiple blocks and interposed between the case that can be unfolded on a flat surface and the goods to be transported inside the case in close contact with each other when in use.
A connectable belt-like member that is attached to the inner surface of the case and that connects the outer sides of the plurality of cushioning material layer blocks, which are combined in a rectangular parallelepiped shape surrounding the goods to be transported, vertically and horizontally. and a member that can be crimped and peeled off from each other and that cannot be moved perpendicular to the crimping direction when crimped, at each of the plurality of points that are in mutual contact with each other on the inner surface of the case and the outer surface of the cushioning material layer block in the use state. I decided to use a pine for transportation.

As a member that can be crimped and peeled off, but cannot be moved perpendicular to the crimping direction during crimping, for example, a product commonly known as magic tape may be used. Furthermore, for the ends of the band-like member that ties and fastens the outer side of the cushioning material layer block vertically and horizontally, a so-called one-touch lock, for example, which is generally widely used as a belt connecting member, may be used.

[Effect]

The so-called case is made of a strong cloth-like material, and when it is made into a cuboid in use, the four rectangular parts extending from the four circumferences of the bottom are simply joined at seven edges with fasteners, so packing is easy. It's extremely simple.

The material for the cushioning layer block should be something that has elastic shape retention and has a light cushioning function, such as sponge rubber or urethane foam, and when assembled in advance, the outside will come into close contact with the inside surface of the case. Each block is shaped so that it can be combined into a cuboid.

The outer surface of the rectangular parallelepiped, which is the aggregate of such cushioning material layer blocks, and the inner surface of the case always come into contact at specific parts during use, so such If you place Velcro tape on each part, you can join each edge of the case with a fastener, press lightly on each part (or they will be crimped together naturally), and the function of the Velcro tape will separate the divided cushioning material layers. Each of the blocks is crimped to each surface of the case, and cannot move relative to each other in the direction parallel to the surface, and maintains a box-like shape with a cuboid on the outside by cooperation with the case,
Functions as a box-like container with good buffering performance.

It is obvious that when not in use, the case becomes much smaller by folding it than when in use.

〔Example〕

Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention in which the fastener part has been uncoupled and a part of the cushioning material layer block has been removed, and Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the completed packaging state of the same embodiment. It is a diagram.

Reference numeral 1 is a case made of durable cloth, and reference numerals 2, 3, 4, and 5 are all cushioning layer blocks made of polyurethane foam whose outsides are covered with cloth. The reason for covering it with cloth is to soften the damage caused by repeated use.
Further, horizontal bands 7 and vertical bands 8 for binding and fastening these cushioning materials are attached to the inner surface of the case 1.

First, a box containing precision equipment such as electronic parts.
3 (In some cases, the precision equipment to be transported is also buried in the recess of a cushioning member molded to match its external shape inside the box, and the cushioning member is placed in the box so that there are no gaps inside the box.) (to be packed and stored) as shown by the broken line in Figure 1, and the cushioning material layer block 2,
Wrap it in 3, 4, 5. Next, raise each side of the case 1, press and bond them together with the corresponding magic tape 9, and tighten the horizontal band 7 and vertical band 8 with one touch. Finally, join the 7 edges of case 1 with fasteners.

In FIG. 2, 10 is a handle, 11 is a bag-shaped destination paper holder, and 12 is a handle pocket for storing the handle during transportation. When transporting only the case, it is easier and more convenient to have the handle 10, but
When entrusting transportation, there is a risk of the handle being thrown far away during busy periods, so the handle is stored in the pocket 12, closed with a zipper, and locked.

Note that the buffering function of a cushioning material such as urethane foam generally deteriorates due to fatigue when used repeatedly, so it is necessary to replace it after multiple uses.

In addition, even during normal cargo handling, it is difficult to avoid (and must be prepared for) a natural fall from a height of 50 cm, so the thickness of the cushioning material depends on the type of precision equipment being transported and how easily it breaks. It is determined that there is sufficient margin for the above conditions, taking into account the degree of

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a mat for transporting precision equipment that is easy to pack, has sufficient cushioning properties, and can be made much smaller when not in use than when in use.
