A cushioning material for packaging is provided, which is used when an article having a rectangular cross section or a cubic shape is packaged in an outer case, such as a corrugated cardboard box. The cushioning material is suitable for packaging the article therewith in an outer case while an end portion, which has a pair of corner sections, of the article is inserted into and supported by the cushioning. The cushioning material is provided with a grooved retainer (,) and a pair of end support members (,) disposed so as to close the ends of both end portions of the grooved retainer (,). The grooved retainer has a raised bottom (,) and two side walls (,) and is adapted to receive one inserted end portion of the article having a rectangular cross section or a cubic shape. The end support members each have a plurality of hollow portions (,), which are arranged in parallel in a predetermined direction, and a rectangular cross-section orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the hollow portions (,). The grooved retainer (,) and end support members (,) are formed by folding a single sheet a of a predetermined planar shape along valley-forming folding lines (a,) and ridge-forming folding lines (a,) formed on the sheet. This enables to provide a cushioning material for packaging which has a simple structure and a low bulk specific gravity, and is not likely to deform.

Folded cushioning material for packaging

A method of imparting directional permanency of folding to a sheet, and an apparatus therefor, which is suitable for manufacturing frame bodies, cushioning members and other block products for packaging, from a sheet of paper and other recyclable materials. The method includes a step of moving respective folding working tools, disposed on one or both surfaces of a sheet, required amounts so as to fold the sheet along respective folding ruled lines, and a step of shortening spacings between the respective folding working tools in a uniform ratio in accordance with an apparent amount of shortening in a longitudinal dimension caused by the shifting, while synchronizing with the moving step. Directional permanency of folding can be accurately imparted to the sheet along the folding ruled lines.

Method of imparting directional permanency of folding to sheet, and apparatus therefor

A cushioning material for packaging is formed of a foldable and regenerable sheet, such as a corrugated cardboard or thick paper, and is used to protect an article of a rectangular cross-sectional shape packaged in an outer case. First and third frame members (,) for forming a pair of parallel edge members of a rectangular frame, and second and fourth frame members (,) for forming the other pair of parallel edge members of the same frame are provided, and the frame members (,) are formed of hollow bodies having a plurality of hollow portions (,) arranged in parallel, the contour and sizes of cross sections intersecting the hollow portions (,) being substantially equal. The hollow bodies constituting the frame members (,) are formed in a row by folding corrugated cardboard, thick paper or other foldable sheet, adjacent frame members among frame members (,) being connected to outer side sheet portions (,) positioned on the outer side, when the frame members (,) are assembled into a rectangular frame, the end portions of adjacent frame members out of the frame members (,) having joint structures (,) for combining the frame members together at right angles to each other with the outer side sheet portions (,) left as they are. Therefore, this cushioning material for packaging is rarely deformed, and displays an excellent cushioning effect.

Cushioning material for packaging

This invention relates to a connected hollow structure and a packaging member suitable for use as a cushioning material, a protection frame material, a core material of a hollow panel and a carrier for carrying adsorbents. A connected hollow structure comprises a large number of hollow structures,having an arbitrary sectional shape and connected in parallel to each other. The connected hollow structure is formed from a piece of sheet and takes the shape resembling a unicursal figure in section. It is possible to form a connected hollow structure which shows elasticity and withstanding strength fit for the purpose and also has a smaller apparent specific gravity by properly selecting the quality of a sheet a, and the sectional shape and size of the hollow structures

A packaging material for packing boxes, packing bags and wrapping paper characterized in that a surface of the packaging material is coated with an air pervious tight coating. The coating partially or entirely covers the surface intended for contact with the wrapped contents, and contains grains or minute particles of a freshness preservative substance which is a far-infrared radioactive substance emitting radiation of a wave length of about 3-4 .mu.m at room temperature, a gas adsorptive substance, a substance reactive with oxygen at room temperature or a mixture thereof. Also disclosed is a method of fixing the freshness preservative substance on a packaging material characterized by printing, coating or spraying a coating onto a surface of the packaging material that is to be contacted with the wrapped contents. The coating is a liquid solution of a coating formative substance containing, dispersed therein, solid grains or minute particles of a freshness preservative substance which is a far-infrared radioactive substance emitting radiation of a wave length of about 3-14 .mu.m at room temperature, a gas adsorptive substance, a substance reactive with oxygen at room temperature or a mixture thereof.
