Packing assembly with cushioning function

Abstract

The present invention provides a packing assembly for packing an article. The packing assembly includes at least one cushioning sleeve and a casing. Each cushioning sleeve is adapted to tightly receive one of the side ends of the article. The space of the casing is adapted to tightly accommodate the article packed by the at least one cushioning sleeve. The first supporting portion is disposed in the space, and abuts, via a side edge thereof, against one of the at least one cushioning sleeve to reduce impact once subjected to said one cushioning sleeve.

1 . A packing assembly for packing an article, comprising: 
 at least one cushioning sleeve which each is adapted to receive one of the side ends of the article; and    a casing having a space and a first supporting portion, the space being adapted to tightly accommodate the article packed by the at least one cushioning sleeve, the first supporting portion being disposed in the space and abutting, via a side edge thereof, against one of the at least one cushioning sleeve to reduce impact once subjected to said one cushioning sleeve.    
     
     
         2 . The packing assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the casing comprises a lower casing and an upper casing, the lower casing has the space and an opening, the upper casing functions to cover the opening of the lower casing and to bond with the lower casing.  
     
     
         3 . The packing assembly of  claim 2 , wherein the lower casing and the upper casing are respectively made of a one-piece board of corrugated plastic material.  
     
     
         4 . The packing assembly of  claim 3 , wherein each of the at least one cushioning sleeves is formed from a polymer material.  
     
     
         5 . The packing assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the casing has a first side-surface portion abutting upon the at least one cushioning sleeve, the first supporting portion extends from the first side-surface portion and is folded into cylindrical shape.  
     
     
         6 . The packing assembly of  claim 5 , wherein the first supporting portion abuts, via the other side edge thereof, against the other of the at least one cushioning sleeve to reduce impact once subjected to said one cushioning sleeve.  
     
     
         7 . The packing assembly of  claim 6 , wherein the first supporting portion also abuts, via a side surface thereof, against the article to absorb partial impact once subjected to the article.  
     
     
         8 . The packing assembly of  claim 7 , wherein the casing also has a second side-surface portion, opposite to the first side-surface portion and abutting upon the at least one cushioning sleeve, and a second supporting portion extending from the second side-surface portion and folded into cylindrical shape, the cylindrically-shaped second supporting portion abuts, via a side edge thereof, against one of the at least one cushioning sleeve to reduce impact once subjected to said one cushioning sleeve.  
     
     
         9 . The packing assembly of  claim 8 , wherein the second supporting portion abuts, via the other side edge thereof, against the other of the at least one cushioning sleeve to reduce the impact once subjected to said one cushioning sleeve.  
     
     
         10 . The packing assembly of  claim 9 , wherein the second supporting portion also abuts, via a side-surface thereof, against the article to absorb part of the impact once subjected to the article.  
     
     
         11 . The packing assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the casing also has a first side-surface portion abutting upon the at least one cushioning sleeve, the first supporting portion is formed on the first side-surface portion and bends toward the space of the casing.  
     
     
         12 . The packing assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the casing also has a second side-surface portion opposite to the first side-surface portion and abutting upon the at least one cushioning sleeve, a second supporting portion is formed on the second side-surface portion and bends toward the space of the casing, the second supporting portion abuts, via a side edge thereof, against one of the at least one cushioning sleeve to reduce the impact once subjected to said one cushioning sleeve.  
     
     
         13 . The packing assembly of  claim 12 , wherein the first supporting portion abuts, via the other side edge thereof, against the other of the at least one cushioning sleeve to reduce the impact once subjected to said one cushioning sleeve.  
     
     
         14 . The packing assembly of  claim 13 , wherein the second supporting portion abuts, via the other side edge thereof, against the other of the at least one cushioning sleeve to reduce impact once subjected to said one cushioning sleeve.  
     
     
         15 . The packing assembly of  claim 12 , wherein a third supporting portion is formed on the first side-surface portion, adjacent to the first supporting portion and bends toward the space of the casing, the third supporting portion, via a side edge thereof, away from the first supporting portion, abuts against the other of the at least one cushioning sleeve to reduce impact once subjected to said one cushioning sleeve.  
     
     
         16 . The packing assembly of  claim 15 , wherein a fourth supporting portion is formed on the second side-surface portion, adjacent to the second supporting portion and bends toward the space of the casing, the fourth supporting portion, via a side edge thereof, away from the second supporting portion, abuts against the other of the at least one cushioning sleeve to reduce impact once subjected to said one cushioning sleeve.
