Computer packaging assembly

Abstract

A computer packaging assembly for packing and protecting a computer case ( 30 ) therein, includes a packaging box ( 10 ) for receiving the computer case therein, and a pair of cushions ( 20 ) received in the packaging box and engaging with top and bottom ends of the computer casing respectively. Each cushion includes a frame ( 24 ) cushioning against horizontal collision to the computer case, and at least a rib ( 22 ) firmly attached to an outside surface of the frame to cushioning against vertical collision to the computer case. The frame is made from expanded polyethylene material, and the ribs are made from extruded polyethylene material.

1 . A computer packaging assembly for packing a computer case therein, comprising:
 a packaging box for receiving the computer case therein; and   a pair of cushions received in the packaging box for isolating the computer case from the packaging box and preventing the computer case moving in the packaging box, each of the cushions comprising a frame for preventing the computer case moving in a first direction, and at least a rib firmly attached to the frame for preventing the computer case moving in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction;   wherein the frame is comprised of expanded polyethylene, and the ribs are comprised of extruded polyethylene.   
   
   
       2 . The computer packaging assembly as described in  claim 1 , wherein the frame comprises a plurality of layers of expanded polyethylene pieces coupled together by hot adhesive. 
   
   
       3 . The computer packaging assembly as described in  claim 1 , wherein the density of the expanded polyethylene is not more than 30 kg/m 3 . 
   
   
       4 . The computer packaging assembly as described in  claim 3 , wherein the density of the extruded polyethylene is in the range from 16-96 kg/m 3 . 
   
   
       5 . The computer packaging assembly as described in  claim 4 , wherein the density of the expanded polyethylene is 30 kg/m 3 , and the density of the extruded polyethylene is 34 kg/m 3 . 
   
   
       6 . The computer packaging assembly as described in  claim 1 , wherein the frame of each cushion defines an opening therein for respectively receiving the top or bottom end of the computer casing. 
   
   
       7 . The computer packaging assembly as described in  claim 1 , wherein a length of the rib is equal to a width of the frame. 
   
   
       8 . The computer packaging assembly as described in  claim 1 , wherein the frame of each cushion comprises a first protrusion configured for abutting against opposite ends of a keyboard box and a second protrusion configured for abutting against opposite ends of an accessory box. 
   
   
       9 . A combination, comprising:
 a packaging box;   at least an anti-impact cushion in the packaging box, comprising a frame with an opening therein, and a plurality of ribs firmly attached to the frame across the opening; and   a product with one end thereof received in the opening of the frame;   wherein the frame is made from expanded polyethylene materiel and the ribs are made from extruded polyethylene material with better anti-impact capacity than the expanded polyethylene material.   
   
   
       10 . The combination as described in  claim 9 , wherein the frame comprises a plurality of layers of expanded polyethylene pieces coupled together by hot adhesive. 
   
   
       11 . The combination as described in  claim 9 , wherein the density of the expanded polyethylene is not more than 30 kg/m 3 . 
   
   
       12 . The combination as described in  claim 11 , wherein the density of the extruded polyethylene is in the range from 16-96 kg/m 3 . 
   
   
       13 . The combination as described in  claim 12 , wherein the density of the expanded polyethylene is 30 kg/m 3 , and the density of the extruded polyethylene is 34 kg/m 3 . 
   
   
       14 . The combination as described in  claim 9 , wherein the ribs of the cushion are parallel to and spaced from each other. 
   
   
       15 . The combination as described in  claim 9 , wherein said one end of the product is supported on the ribs and surrounded by the frame of the cushion. 
   
   
       16 . A computer package comprising:
 a computer having an upper end with a top surface and a lower end with a bottom surface;   a packaging box receiving the computer therein; and   two cushions received in the packaging box and respectively disposed at the upper end and lower end of the computer, each of the cushions comprising:   a frame comprised of expanded polyethylene, the frame having four bars arranged substantially as a rectangle arrangement surrounding the respective upper end or lower end of the computer for preventing the computer case moving in a horizontal direction in the packaging box, and   a plurality of ribs comprised of extruded polyethylene, the ribs attached to the frame brought into contact with the respective top surface or lower surface of the computer for preventing the computer moving in a vertical direction in the a packaging box;   
   
   
       17 . The computer package as described in  claim 16 , wherein the density of the expanded polyethylene is not more than 30 kg/m 3 . 
   
   
       18 . The computer package as described in  claim 17 , wherein the density of the extruded polyethylene is in the range from 16-96 kg/m 3 . 
   
   
       19 . The computer package as described in  claim 18 , wherein the density of the expanded polyethylene is 30 kg/m 3 , and the density of the extruded polyethylene is 34 kg/m 3 .
