A packaging system for a hot water heater includes an outer box, a top insert, an offset filler, a base insert, and one or more side panels. The top insert contacts a top surface of the hot water heater and a top inside surface of outer box. The offset filler is coupled to the top insert and is sandwiched between the hot water heater and the outer box. The base insert contacts the bottom surface of the hot water heater and a bottom inside surface of the outer box. The base insert includes raised perimeter structures that form a shape that matches a shape of the bottom surface of the hot water heater. The raised perimeter structures and the offset filler position the hot water heater off-center with respect to a center axis of the outer box. Each side panel includes a raised pattern.

The present invention provides apparatus for starting a fire, comprising a stack of combustible fuel elements (340, 350, 460, 462, 464) and a flammable ignition element (450) located in a combustible container (200) configured to provide at least one aperture (202) for igniting the flammable ignition element located therein. A kit of parts and a method of assembling the kit are also provided.

A lock package is provided. The package holder is suitable to simultaneously position at least two locks. The package holder includes a plate portion and a partition. The plate portion has two opposite surfaces, at least two positioning portions, and a non-positioning portion. The surfaces are configured to be disposed with the locks. The positioning portions are configured to position plural escutcheons of the locks, and a portion of each of the escutcheons is exposed, in which the non-positioning portion is configured to cover a plurality of handles of the locks.

A buffer material includes a pair of impact absorption parts. Each of the pair of impact absorption parts has a first rectangular plate part, which is formed by cutting a predetermined place of the sheet material and is bendable downward along one end edge, and a second rectangular plate part which is concatenated to the other end edge of the first rectangular plate part and has a length in a direction along the other end edge, which is longer than a length in the direction of the first rectangular plate part. Each of the pair of impact absorption parts is formed by bending the first rectangular plate part in a sectional V shape and allowing both end portions of the second rectangular plate part in the direction along the other end edge to be engaged with and held to an upper surface of the support plate part.

The top insert contacts a top surface of the hot water heater and a top inside surface of outer box. The offset filler is coupled to the top insert and is sandwiched between the hot water heater and the outer box. The base insert contacts the bottom surface of the hot water heater and a bottom inside surface of the outer box. The base insert includes raised perimeter structures that form a shape that matches a shape of the bottom surface of the hot water heater. Each side panel includes a raised pattern.

A method for packaging articles to be transported is provided comprising a) preparing at least one pallet comprising a base plate, which base plate forms an even plate-shaped element; b) placing the articles to be transported onto the base plate; c) providing a transport box that's open toward the base plate in an inverted orientation over the articles, wherein the transport box is placed on the base plate so that the transport box and base plate together form an interior of the transport packaging unit, wherein the transport box comprises an opening that's closable by folding flaps on a side opposite the base plate, wherein the transport box closes off flush with the pallet; and d) fixing the transport box on the base plate with at least one packing strip, wherein the transport box is pressed onto the base plate by said at least one packing strip.

Disclosed is a transport packaging unit for packaging articles to be transported, in particular hazardous materials. The transport packaging unit comprises the following: a pallet with a base plate, wherein the articles to be transported are receivable on the base plate; a transport box which is open toward the base plate, wherein the transport box rests on the base plate and together with the base plate forms an interior of the transport packaging unit which receives the articles to be transported,
wherein the transport box is fixed on the base plate by means of at least one fastening element, preferably by means of at least one packing strip.

A packaging structure for a cooking device is so configured that a packaging material (101) with trays (91, 92) packaged therewith is disposed in a heating chamber (2) with such an inclination that a one-side portion of the packaging material (101) becomes higher than the other-side portion of the packaging material (101). Also, the one-side portion of the packaging material (101) is placed on a one-side-portion side tray holder (16A). Further, a cushioning material (201) is inserted between an upper portion (2e) of the heating chamber (2) and the one-side portion of the packaging material (101), so that the one-side portion of the packaging material (101) is pressed against the one-side-portion side tray holder (16A) while the other-side portion of the packaging material (101) is pressed against the other-side-portion side inner side surface (2c) of the chamber.

A composite material and structure. The structure has a folded sheet having a rigid inner layer sandwiched between flexible outer layers. The sheet has an undulated shape with alternating summit and valley portions. Intermediate portions each extend between adjacent summit and valley portions. At least one score line extends through at least one of the flexible outer layers. The sheet is folded about the at least one score line. A method of forming a structure from a sheet having an undulated shape

A cushioning pad is disposed between a packing and a packed article. The cushioning includes a bottom plate portion, a first tubular portion, and a second tubular portion. The bottom plate has a pair of end areas opposite to each other. The first tubular portion has a triangular tubular shape along one of the end areas. The second tubular portion has a triangular tubular shape along another of the end areas. The one of the end areas resiliently deformers into an arc shape upon impact acting on the first tubular portion. The other of the end areas resiliently deformers into an arc shape upon impact acting on the first tubular portion.
