Shock Absorbing Member and Shock Absorbing Structure

Abstract

According to one embodiment, a shock absorbing member includes a main body of a resin, a recess portion, and a pair of first groove portions. The recess portion is made in the main body. An outer edge portion of an object to be packaged is inserted to the recess portion. The recess portion includes a first end surface which faces the outer edge portion. The pair of first groove portions are made in the main body, the pair of first groove portions being opened in the first end surface, and extending respectively in directions to depart from the outer edge portion of the object. The first end surface of the recess portion faces the outer edge portion of the object between the pair of first groove portions.

1 . A shock absorbing member comprising:
 a main body of a resin;   a recess portion made in the main body, to which an outer edge portion of an object to be packaged is inserted, and comprising a first end surface which faces the outer edge portion; and   a pair of first groove portions made in the main body, the pair of first groove portions being opened in the first end surface, and extending respectively in directions to depart from the outer edge portion of the object,   wherein the first end surface of the recess portion faces the outer edge portion of the object between the pair of first groove portions.   
     
     
         2 . The shock absorbing member of  claim 1 , wherein the first end surface of the recess portion faces a corner portion of the object. 
     
     
         3 . The shock absorbing member of  claim 2 , wherein
 the recess portion comprises a second end surface which extends to cross the first end surface and faces an other outer edge portion of the object, and   the pair of the first groove portions each extend through out the second end surface.   
     
     
         4 . The shock absorbing member of  claim 3 , wherein
 the pair of the first groove portions extend in directions to part from each other and cross each other.   
     
     
         5 . The shock absorbing member of  claim 4 , wherein
 the recess portion comprises a support portion defined by the pair of the first groove portions, and   the support portion comprises the first end surface and tapers down towards the outer edge portion of the object.   
     
     
         6 . The shock absorbing member of  claim 5 , wherein
 a width of the first groove portions is smaller than a thickness of the object.   
     
     
         7 . The shock absorbing member of  claim 6 , further comprising:
 a pair of second groove portions made in the main body, the pair of the second groove portions being opened in the second end surface, and extending respectively in directions to depart from the other outer edge portion of the object.   
     
     
         8 . A shock absorbing member comprising:
 a main body;   a recess portion made in the main body, to which an outer edge portion of an object to be packaged is inserted; and   a pair of groove portions made in the main body, the pair of the groove portions being opened in the recess portion, and extending respectively in directions to depart from the outer edge portion of the object,   wherein the recess portion comprises an end surface which faces the outer edge portion of the object between the pair of groove portions.   
     
     
         9 . A shock absorbing structure comprising:
 a main body;   a recess portion made in the main body, to which an outer edge portion of an object to be packaged is inserted, and having an end surface which faces the outer edge portion; and   a pair of groove portions made in the main body, the pair of the groove portions being opened in the end surface, and extending respectively in directions to depart from the outer edge portion of the object,   wherein the end surface of the recess portion faces the outer edge portion of the object between the pair of the groove portions.
