Protective bag for shipping

Abstract

A protective shipping container that is configured to provide impact protection for items disposed in the interior volume thereof and further inhibit movement of the items during shipping. The protective shipping container of the present invention includes a body having a first side and a second side formed to create an interior volume. The body includes a separation wall having a first side and a second side. Adjacent to the first side of the separation wall are a plurality of outer air chambers. The plurality of outer air chambers are independently inflatable and extend the length of the body. An inner air chamber is adjacent to the second side of the separation wall. The inner air chamber is operable to substantially fill the interior volume of the body while surroundably conforming to the items placed therein so as to provide impact protection as well as inhibit movement thereof.

         2 . The protective shipping bag as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the inner chamber fills an area adjacent the first end and second end of the body ensuing inflation thereof. 
     
     
         3 . The protective shipping bag as recited in  claim 2 , and further including a plurality of valves, said valves being present on each of the plurality of outer air chambers, said valves configured to inflate the plurality of air chambers. 
     
     
         4 . The protective shipping bag as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said body further includes a sealing portion, said sealing portion configured to be foldable over the at least one opening. 
     
     
         5 . The protective shipping bag as recited in  claim 4 , wherein said inner air chamber conforming around a shape of the items disposed in the interior volume so as to be surroundably present thereto. 
     
     
         6 . The protective shipping bag as recited in  claim 5 , wherein the sealing portion includes an adhesive on a surface thereof. 
     
     
         7 . A protective shipping bag configured to receive items therein and provide protection during a shipping process wherein the protective shipping bag comprises:
 a body, said body having a first end and a second end, said body having an opening proximate, said opening providing access to an interior volume, said interior volume configured to receive at least one object therein, said body having a wall, said wall having a first side and a second side, said second side of said wall being adjacent the interior volume of said body;   an inner air chamber, said inner air chamber being adjacent the second side of the wall, said inner air chamber being inflatable, said inner air chamber configured to fill the interior volume of said body, said inner air chamber further operable to surroundably mount the items disposed within the interior volume so as to inhibit movement thereof.   
     
     
         8 . The protective shipping bag as recited in  claim 7 , wherein said body further includes at least one ventilation hole, said at least one ventilation hole being sealably formed in said body, said at least one ventilation hole providing circulation to the interior volume of said body. 
     
     
         9 . A protective shipping container configured to receive items therein and provide protection and movement restriction of the items wherein the protective shipping container comprises:
 a body, said body having a first end and a second end, said body having an opening, said opening providing access to an interior volume, said interior volume configured to receive the items therein, said body having separation wall, said separation wall having a first side and a second side, said second side of said separation wall being adjacent the interior volume of said body;   a plurality of outer air chambers, said plurality of outer air chambers being adjacent the first side of the separation wall, said plurality of outer air chambers being linear in form and parallel, said plurality of outer air chambers extending intermediate the first end and second end of said body, said plurality of outer air chambers being independently inflatable; and   an inner air chamber, said inner air chamber being adjacent the second side of the separation wall, said inner air chamber being separately inflatable, said inner air chamber configured to fill the interior volume of said body, said inner air chamber conforming around a shape of the items disposed within the interior volume so as to inhibit movement thereof.   
     
     
         10 . The protective shipping container as recited in  claim 9 , and further including a plurality of valves, said valves being present on each of the plurality of outer air chambers, said valves configured to inflate the plurality of air chambers. 
     
     
         11 . The protective shipping container as recited in  claim 10 , wherein the inner chamber provides a filling of any void present proximate the first end and second end of the body ensuing inflation thereof.
