A cushioning packaging material for packaging one or more electronic products and the like is disclosed. The cushioning packaging material includes a cushioning portion provided with a plurality of air pockets, an air distribution portion provided with a distribution passage through which air is distributed into the plurality of air pockets, and an air inlet provided at one side of the air distribution portion. The air inlet is closed after completion of air injection. Thus, air leakage through the air inlet is prevented and cushioning force reduction caused by air leakage is also prevented.

A cooperative packaging system includes a base package, a first member, a second member, and a third member. The base package includes a first side and a second side. The second side is contiguous with the first side. The first member covers a portion of the first side of the base package. The second member covers the second side of the base package. The third member covers the first member and a portion of the second member. The first member and the second member are configured to mitigate impacts sustained by the cooperative packaging system prior to the impacts being transferred to the base package.

A storage container comprises: a storage portion and a side wall provided around the bottom portion, and a hollow region defined by an inner side surface and a bottom surface and having a generally cuboid shape; and a positioning member positioning a rectangular plate-like structural body as a storage target inside the hollow region. In the storage portion, a groove is formed in the inner side surface and the positioning member is detachably fitted into the storage portion. The positioning member includes a joint member in contact with the groove and a contact member detachably fitted into each other. The contact member includes: an engaged portion to be engaged with the joint member, a contact portion having two contact surfaces receiving a corner of the storage target and forming a generally right angle, and an intervening portion to be provided between the side wall and the joint member. The contact portion and the intervening portion are formed integrally.

A flexible, sterilizable pouch includes a first wall coupled to a second wall and a cavity defined between the first wall and the second wall. The cavity is configured to receive a medical device, and the pouch is configured to seal the medical device within the cavity. At least one of the first wall and the second wall of the pouch includes two layers. Each layer is coupled to the adjacent layer such that a breach in any one layer of the multi-layered wall will not breach the seal of the pouch. A pocket may be formed between the layers of the multi-layered wall and may include a gas under pressure to inflate the corresponding wall to an inflated state.

A gas-sealed body with cushioning function is adapted to be inflated by a processing machine. The processing machine includes an inflation bar and pressing wheels adjacent to the inflation bar. The inflation bar is to inflate the gas-sealed body. The pressing wheels roll on a rolling track of the gas-sealed body for conveying the gas-sealed body. The gas-sealed body includes an inflation channel, gas inlets, pillow structures, and gas chambers. Each gas chamber includes one or more gas inlets, one or more cushion-part gas column, and a main-part gas column. When each of the inflation inlets is inflated, the corresponding one or more cushion-part gas column and the corresponding main-part gas column are inflated and expanded in order.

A packaging material includes: an outer box that accommodates an article to be packaged; and a cushioning material including: a sealed bag body with gas confined inside; a partition that divides an inside of the bag body into a first chamber and a second chamber each in an equal volume; and a ventilation passage communicating the first and second chambers, the cushioning material being disposed in a gap between an outer surface of the article and an inner wall of the outer box.

Some examples include a plurality of inflatable units that may be secured to an item as packaging to protect the item during transport or other shipping. The inflatable units may be inflated to a threshold pressure and placed at the corners of the item to be transported. In some cases, prior to placement of the inflatable units at the corners of the item, beams may be placed between the inflatable units that will serve as the bottom inflatable units. Straps may be used to secure the inflatable units against the item, and the packaged item may be transported to a destination. Upon receipt of the shipped item, the recipient may remove the inflatable units from the corners of the item, deflate the inflatable units, and send the inflatable units and the straps back to the sender, who may reuse the inflatable units and the straps.

Disclosed are an inflation-free double-sided airbag and its preparation method. The inflation-free double-sided airbag includes upper airbags arranged into an array and connected to one another to form a planar body, lower airbags arranged into an array and connected to one another to form a planar body, an elastic layer disposed between the upper airbag and the lower airbag and having an upper surface connected to the upper airbag and a lower surface connected to the lower airbag, and a soft edge connecting portion disposed between two adjacent upper airbags and between two adjacent lower airbags. After the airbag is pierced, it still has the protection effect. When an external pressure is exerted onto the inflation-free double-sided airbag, the elastic material layer provides a buffering effect to minimize the degree of deformation of the airbags and reduce impacts on a user or a product.

An unmanned aerial vehicle is removably connected to a container. The container has a vessel retaining a pressurized gas supply and a manifold having a plurality of ports connected to a plurality of expandable structures. The pressurized gas supply is in communication with a plurality of expandable structures. The container also has least one compartment having a plurality of expandable structures configured to capture a payload. Additional improvements include an improved docking structure for the unmanned aerial vehicle to engage a container and a rotatable weight distribution system for maintaining a center of gravity at the physical center of gravity of the unmanned aerial vehicle.

A multi-density skid assembly for an appliance or other object. The assembly includes an inner layer of at least one low density material and an outer layer of at least one high density material. At least one fastener extends into an inner opening defined in the inner layer and through an aperture defined by appliance. The fastener provides an anchoring force such that the fastener secures the skid assembly to the appliance yet allows for the skid assembly to be displaced from the appliance without the use of tools or necessarily laying the appliance on one side.
