A pneumatic cushioning material includes: a first air cell part including at least one air cell containing air; a second air cell part including at least one air cell containing air; a third air cell part including at least one air cell containing air; a first connection that connects the first air cell part and the second air cell part together; a second connection that connects the first air cell part and the third air cell part together, wherein the first connection is bendable by a first rotation axis, the second connection is bendable by a second rotation axis, and an angle at which a line segment obtained by extending the first rotation axis and a line segment obtained by extending the second rotation axis intersect is at a range of greater than 0 degrees and less than 180 degrees.

A packing device includes an object to be packed, a packing box, and a cushioning part arranged between the object to be packed and an inner wall of the packing box. The cushioning part is formed of first to fourth cushioning elements assembled together. The cushioning part in an assembled state can be disassembled by having the first to fourth cushioning elements move in a direction of disassembly. The second cushioning element and the third cushioning element forming the cushioning part have a multilayer structure formed of plate-like members stacked on each other. The first to fourth cushioning elements forming the cushioning part are in contact with the object to be packed or the inner wall of the packing box and thus have their movement in the direction of disassembly regulated.

A transport case for items to be transported, comprises: - a lid, sides and a base, the base having: - a front/back and left/right extending array of locator engagement positions and - a plurality of locators engageable in selected ones of the arrayed positions for locating items placed on the base for transportation, the arrangement being such that inter-engagement of the locators and the base provides continued location of items during transport, and wherein the locators comprise or are of foam; and a method of transporting an item comprises packing the item into the transport case.

An enclosure is disclosed for transporting articles upon a satellite. The enclosure is composed of a plurality of interconnected walls coupled via elongated edge connecting members to define an internal space shaped and dimensioned for receiving an article to be transported upon a satellite. The walls are honeycombed aluminum sheets or solid aluminum panels and the edge connecting members are lightweight high strength members shaped and dimensioned for secure attachment to the walls without the use of mechanical coupling members.

A container (100) having: a housing member (10) having a bottom surface member (12) and a side surface member (14); and a protective member (220a) having a receiving surface in contact with an item to be housed. The bottom surface member defines the xy plane and the side surface member defines the xz plane and the yz plane that are orthogonal to the xy plane. The side surface member has a cut-out section (15a) that faces a housing space. The protective member (220a) has: an inside member (122a) comprising a receiving section having first receiving surface (123) parallel to the yz plane and a second receiving surface (124) parallel to the xz plane; and an outside member (232a) arranged at least between the inside member and a side surface parallel to the yz plane of the side surface member, said outside member being fitted to the inside member (122a) so as to be slidable in a direction intersecting the floor surface. The inside member (122a) and the outside member (232a) are arranged in the cut-out section so as to each be independently attachable and detachable. A section including the first receiving surface (123) is more flexible than a section including the second receiving surface (124).

An air cushioning material includes: a first module including a first air cell containing air, a second air cell containing air, and a first belt-like part connecting the first air cell and the second air cell to each other; a second module including a third air cell containing air, a fourth air cell containing air, and a second belt-like part connecting the third air cell and the fourth air cell to each other; a coupling part that couples a part of the second air cell and a part of the fourth air cell in a second direction, where a direction from the second air cell toward the first air cell and a direction from the fourth air cell toward the third air cell are defined as a first direction, and a direction intersecting the first direction is defined as the second direction.

An enclosure is disclosed for transporting articles upon a satellite. The enclosure is composed of a plurality of interconnected walls coupled via elongated edge connecting members to define an internal space shaped and dimensioned for receiving an article to be transported upon a satellite. The walls are honeycombed aluminum sheets or solid aluminum panels and the edge connecting members are lightweight high strength members shaped and dimensioned for secure attachment to the walls without the use of mechanical coupling members.

A packaging fastener includes a base member and a key member. The base member includes a first cylindrical part inserted through overlapped through holes of packaging materials. The key member includes a second cylindrical part inserted into the first cylindrical part of the base member. By inserting the first cylindrical part of the base member through the through holes and then inserting the second cylindrical part into the first cylindrical part, the packaging materials are coupled together. The key member has an engaging part. The base member has an engaged part. The engagement part has an elastically deformable supporting part and a lock claw. In a state where the lock claw is engaged with the engaged part, by elastically deforming the supporting part, the lock claw is displaced to a direction separate away from the engaged part to release an engagement of the lock claw with the engaged part.

Implementations of the present disclosure generally relate to a reusable wrapping device for securing loaded goods on a pallet. Particularly, the wrapping device according to the present disclosure including edge protectors. The wrapping device includes one or more edge protector. Each edge protector includes two edge panels joined by one edge, and a strap slidingly attached to the one or more edge protector. Each edge panel includes strap retainer to receive the strap therethrough.

A securing device includes a base and a sheet placed on the base. The sheet includes a hole. A securing support is disposed opposite the hole of the sheet. A coupler secures the sheet to the base through the securing support. The securing support includes a contact face that contacts the coupler. The contact face includes a notch through which the securing support is removed from the coupler to separate the base from the sheet without removing the coupler.
