Multi-purpose air-packing method and system

Abstract

A multi-purpose air-packing method and system enables to pack a product having an irregular shape easily at low cost. The air-packing method includes the steps of placing a product to be protected in a container box; applying a first air-packing device having a plurality of air containers to side surfaces of the product in a manner to surround the product in the container box; and inflating the air-packing device by supplying an compressed air to securely hold the product within the container box.

       9 . An air-packing system for packing a product to prevent damages to the product due to shocks and vibrations, comprising: 
 a container box for placing a product to be protected therein;    a first air-packing device having a plurality of air containers and is applied to side surfaces of the product in a manner to surround the product in the container box; and    wherein the first air-packing device is inflated by supplying compressed air to securely hold the product within the container box.    
   
   
       10 . An air-packing system for packing a product as defined in  claim 9 , further comprising: 
 a second air-packing device laid out on a bottom surface of the container box as a bottom air cushion before placing the product in the container box.    
   
   
       11 . An air-packing system for packing a product as defined in  claim 10 , further comprising: 
 a third air-packing device laid out on a top of the product in the container box as a top air cushion after applying the first air-packing device to the sides of the product.    
   
   
       12 . An air-packing system for packing a product as defined in  claim 9 , wherein an air inlet port of the first air-packing device is exposed through an opening of the container box to outside of the container box, thereby enabling to supply the compressed air to the air-packing device after closing the container box.  
   
   
       13 . An air-packing system for packing a product as defined in  claim 9 , wherein said plurality of air containers of said first air-packing device have an identical cross sectional size with one another.  
   
   
       14 . An air-packing system for packing a product as defined in  claim 9 , wherein said plurality of air containers of said first air-packing device have different cross sectional sizes from one another.  
   
   
       15 . An air-packing system for packing a product as defined in  claim 14 , wherein said air containers of the air-packing device with small cross sectional size are arranged at one end of the air-packing device.  
   
   
       16 . An air-packing system for packing a product as defined in  claim 14 , wherein said air containers of the first air-packing device with small cross sectional size and large cross sectional size are arranged in a predetermined order so that the air containers of the air-packing device fit with a product of particular outer shape.
