Boxes and Trays Used to Hold LCD Panels

Abstract

The present invention publishes a box and a tray used to hold LCD panels. The tray comprises a carrying part, a supporting part, and buffering items. The carrying part is used to carry the LCD panel. The supporting part is located on the sides of the carrying part, and the supporting part comprises compartment slots. The buffering items are placed inside the compartment slots in order to improve the structural strength of the supporting part. The embodiment of the present invention improves the structural strength of the tray through the effects of buffering items. It also controls the production costs and avoids damages to LCD panels during transport caused due to insufficient strength of the tray.

         3 . A tray used to hold LCD panels, wherein, comprises:
 a carrying part, used to carry LCD panels;   a supporting part, located on the sides of the carrying part, wherein the supporting part comprises compartment slots;   buffering items, placed inside the compartment slots to increase the structural strength of the supporting part.   
     
     
         4 . The tray according to  claim 3 , wherein, the supporting part comprises a first supporting part and a second supporting part. The first supporting part connects with the carrying part, and the second supporting part connects with the first supporting part. The first supporting part and the second supporting part form in between the compartment slots. 
     
     
         5 . The tray according to  claim 4 , wherein, the carrying part, the first supporting part and the second supporting part are formed in one piece. The first supporting part and the second supporting part are folded to form compartment slots. 
     
     
         6 . The tray according to  claim 5 , wherein, the opening of the compartment slot is located on the other side of the carrying part, opposite from the side that is carrying the LCD panel. 
     
     
         7 . The tray according to  claim 3 , wherein, the carrying part has multiple sides. The supporting part is located along these sides and surrounds the carrying part. 
     
     
         8 . The tray according to  claim 7 , wherein, the compartment slot has multiple instances, and they are located on and spaced over the multi-sided supporting part. The buffering item has multiple instances and they are separately placed into the multiple compartment slots. 
     
     
         9 . The tray according to  claim 3 , wherein, the buffering item comprises a tightening adapter with a gradient structure. When sidewalls of this tightening adapter and the compartment slot squeeze up against each other, an interferece fit is achieved. 
     
     
         10 . The tray according to  claim 3 , wherein, the buffering item is made of polystyrene, polypropylene foam, or polyethylene foam materials. 
     
     
         11 . A box used to hold LCD panels, wherein, comprises a box enclosure a trays placed inside the box enclosure. Each tray comprises:
 a carrying part, used to carry LCD panels;   a supporting part, located on the sides of the carrying part, wherein the supporting part comprises compartment slots;   buffering items, placed inside the compartment slots to increase the structural strength of the supporting part.   
     
     
         12 . The box according to  claim 11 , wherein, the tray has multiple instances. Multiple trays are stacked and placed inside the box enclosure. The supporting parts of every two adjacent trays are abutted to each other. A compartment space is formed between every two adjacent trays for holding an LCD panel. 
     
     
         13 . The box according to  claim 11 , wherein, the supporting part comprises a first supporting part and a second supporting part. The first supporting part connects with the carrying part, and the second supporting part connects with the first supporting part. The first supporting part and the second supporting part form in between them the compartment slots. 
     
     
         14 . The box according to  claim 13 , wherein, the carrying part, the first supporting part, and the second supporting part are formed in one piece. The first supporting part and the second supporting part are folded to form compartment slots. 
     
     
         15 . The box according to  claim 11 , wherein, the buffering item comprises a tightening adapter with a gradient structure. When sidewalls of this tightening adapter and the compartment slot squeeze up against each other, an interferece tit is achieved. 
     
     
         16 . The box according to  claim 11 , wherein, the buffering item is made of polystyrene, polypropylene foam, or polyethylene foam materials.
