A self-inflating member is provided having a first flexible layer, a second flexible layer, a contracting element, a check valve and a first supporting element. The first and second flexible layers are connected to each other such that a cavity is formed there between. At least one of the first and second flexible layer comprises the check valve that creates a fluid connection between the cavity and the ambient environment. The contracting element is connected to the first and second flexible layers in at least a first and a second position, such that contraction of the contracting element moves the first and second position closer to each other. The first supporting element assists in supporting at least one of the first and second flexible layers, such that the cavity is expanded, which causes fluid from the ambient environment to flow through the check valve and into the expanded cavity.

A building board package X1 according to the present invention includes a first building board 10, and a packing sheet 20 stacked on top of the first building board 10. The first building board 10 has a first surface 11 on the packing sheet 20 side, and a second surface 12 opposite the first surface 11. The first surface 11 includes a first coating film surface 11A. The packing sheet 20 has a third surface 21 on the first building board 10 side, and a fourth surface 22 opposite the third surface 21. The third surface 21 is in contact with the first coating film surface 11A. An absolute value of a difference between a 60-degree gloss value of the first coating film surface 11A and a 60-degree gloss value of the third surface 21 is 3.0 or less, and an absolute value of a difference between an 85-degree gloss value of the first coating film surface 11A and an 85-degree gloss value of the third surface 21 is 3.0 or less. A method for manufacturing a building board package according to the present invention includes the step of stacking the first building board 10 and the packing sheet 20 on top of each other such that the first coating film surface 11A and the third surface 21 are in contact with each other.

A protection system and method for cargos in a compartment and a robotic equipment thereof, applied in the field of robotics, are disclosed. The system includes an inflatable mechanism and an airbag. The airbag is used for filling the space between the cargos and/or between the cargos and an inner wall of the compartment. The airbag includes an inlet. The inflatable mechanism is defined on a robot for inflating or deflating the airbag via the inlet. The protection system and method for cargos in a compartment and a robotic equipment thereof can improve the stability of the stacked cargos during the process of the loading and unloading of the cargos, and the stability of the cargos during transportation.

A packing member includes a storage case for storing an article to be packed and a plurality of cushion members that are disposed in the storage case so as to face the article to be packed. The plurality of cushion members each have coupling portions, and, of the plurality of cushion members, adjacent cushion members are coupled together by the coupling portions.

Provided is a cushioning material for being put into a packing box configured for encasement of electronic equipment. The cushioning material absorbs external stress applied to the electronic equipment encased in the packing box. The cushioning material includes: a first holder including a first plate configured to face the electronic equipment when the cushioning material and the electronic equipment are encased in the packing box, and a second plate configured to face an inner wall surface of the packing box when the cushioning material and the electronic equipment are encased in the packing box; and a first cushioning block provided between the first plate and the second plate.

A photovoltaic module packing box and a photovoltaic module package structure are provided. The photovoltaic module packing box includes a tray having an accommodation space; a support plate having an edge hinged to an edge of the tray, and the support plate is lapped on the tray; an airbag assembly arranged in the accommodation space; an air valve assembly connected to the airbag assembly by a pipeline; an enclosure frame connected to the support plate and configured to enclose, together with the support plate, a receiving space for photovoltaic modules, and the enclosure frame includes a fixation part and a movable part; the fixation part is fixed to the support plate with one side thereof configured as an open structure; the movable part is detachably connected to the open structure of the fixation part, and the movable part and the fixation part together form an annular structure.

A fluid container has a first and second flexible membrane forming at least one chamber, a channel configured to receive pressurized inert gas, and one or more check valve assemblies disposed therebetween. The one or more check valve assemblies is formed from a continuous third flexible membrane folded at an apex, and configured to provide the flow of pressurized fluid in one direction upon inflation, from the channel to the at least one chamber, while restricting flow in the opposite direction. The one or more check valve assemblies are characterized in that they do not require pre-printing or electronic registering, thus allowing for an inflation flow rate of at least twice that of conventional inflatable packaging systems.

A corrugated offset corner element including at least some of a portion of material extending from a first terminal end to a second terminal end; a first corner element leg having one or more alternating ridges and grooves; a second corner element leg, extending from the first corner element leg, the second corner element leg having one or more alternating ridges and grooves, the second corner element leg having a length that is greater than a length of said first corner element leg; and a score mark formed in the portion of material, extending from an area proximate the first terminal end to an area proximate the second terminal end, wherein the score mark provides a line or portion along which the corrugated offset corner element may be bent or folded.

A packaging apparatus with an improved pinch roller apparatus, fluid supply apparatus, and/or a sealing apparatus. The pinch roller apparatus (e.g., comprising one or more guide and/or pinch rollers) is used to deliver film material to the fluid supply apparatus (e.g., nozzle and blower apparatus, or the like) that fills one or more chambers of the film material with fluid (e.g., air, gas, or other like fluid), and the film material is then sealed by a sealing apparatus (e.g., using one or more heating elements with an improved temperature sensor configuration) that seals the fluid within the one or more chambers in order to form the inflated article (e.g., inflated packaging material). In particular, the sealing apparatus provides improved sealing through the improved accuracy of the temperature reading in the heating zone, in part, by locating a sensor between a heating element and a protective member that covers the sensor.
