Packaging Device for Panel

Abstract

The present invention discloses a packaging device for panel, and includes a corner guard for covering and protecting a corner of the panel. The packaging device further includes buffering arrangement which is disposed within the corner guard for supporting the panel. The packaging device effectively embodies as a corner protecting device which can effectively provide buffering result to the panel, while with the minimum packaging material used. With a great deal of packaging material saved, the overall cost is effectively reduced.

1 . A packaging device for panel, characterized in that the packaging device includes:
 a corner guard attached to a corner of the panel;   wherein the corner guard is configured by folding a packing sheet, and the packing sheet including:   a first central portion having a pair of longitudinal sides;   a pair of second side portions each interconnected with the corresponding opposite longitudinal sides of the first central portion, wherein each of the second side portions can be folded along the longitudinal sides to so as to parallel to each other and is perpendicular to the first central portion, each of the second side portions having a bottom which is perpendicular to the longitudinal side;   a pair of third end portions each interconnected to the bottoms of the second side portions, each of the third end portions being folded centered on the bottom of the second side portions and overlapped with each other, the folded third end portions being perpendicular to both the first central portion and the second side portions;   wherein the first central zone has a rectangular shape, the second side portion has a triangular shape; and   a buffering arrangement for supporting the panel and arranged within the corner guard, the buffering arrangement including first and second buffering bars with the first buffering bar disposed on the first central portion, and the second buffering bar arranged onto the third end portion for supporting corresponding one of end surfaces of a corner of the panel; and   wherein that the buffering arrangement further includes a third buffering bar disposed adjacent to an edge of the second side portion and creates a gap with the opposing side portion for receiving the corner of the panel and providing a substantial support to a side the panel to be packed.

         9 . A packaging device configured with a corner guard and a buffering arrangement disposed within the corner guard for covering and supporting a corner of a panel, characterized in that the corner guard is configured by folding a packing sheet, and the packing sheet including:
 a first central portion having a pair of longitudinal sides;   a pair of second side portions each interconnected with the corresponding longitudinal sides of the first central portion, wherein each of the second side portions can be folded along the longitudinal sides to so as to parallel to each other and is perpendicular to the first central portion, each of the second side portions having a bottom which is perpendicular to the longitudinal side; and   a pair of third end portions each interconnected to the bottoms of the second side portions, each of the third end portions being folded centered on the bottom of the second side portions and overlapped with each other, the folded third end portions being perpendicular to both the first central portion and the second side portions; and   wherein that the buffering arrangement further includes a third buffering bar disposed on the second side portion and creates a gap with the opposing side portion for receiving the corner of the panel and providing a substantial support to a side the panel to be packed.   
     
     
         10 . The packaging device as recited in  claim 9 , characterized in that the first central zone has a rectangular shape, the second side portion has a triangular shape. 
     
     
         11 . The packaging device as recited in  claim 9 , characterized in that the buffering arrangement includes first and second buffering bars with the first buffering bar disposed on the first central portion, and the second buffering bar arranged onto the third end portion for supporting corresponding one of end surfaces of a corner of the panel.
