  • U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,905,835 and 4,969,312 to Pivert which are limited to a rectangular box with inflatable structures that are inserts into the box, thereby requiring multiple steps for use, from insertion of the inflatable structures to closure of the box.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,588,533 to Farison provides an inflatable cushion through a single inflation valve, which must be inserted into the box with the article.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,076,677 to Pozzo is a shipping container and inflatable packaging cushion that must be partially filled, then the article is inserted, and following steps are required.
  • the prior art provides protection to the articles within a box
  • the conventional art suffers from a number of drawbacks.
  • the inflation, insertion, and closure of the prior art devices all require multiple steps and are not simple, efficient methods of shipping articles or products using an inflatable cushion.
  • the prior art requires tedious methods for inflation. For instance, the prior art requires that certain cushions be inflated before others in a specific sequence, that cushions be inflated before insertion into the box, and complex sequences of events for closure of box flaps and/or self-locking flaps. They require optimal inflation to work properly and finally require multiple cushions to provide adequate protection to the article shipped.
  • the present invention is designed to address these shortcomings by providing a package as described below.
  • the present invention is designed to advance the art of packaging past the drawbacks of the prior art and provide packaging that is simple to use, requires minimal instruction, has the minimum number of parts, and is cost-effective.

  • the fluid bladder may be formed of rubber, plastic, graphene, or Mylar TM .
  • the fluid bladder may be connected to the interior wall of the container using glue, tape, staples, heat, welding or other connection found acceptable by one of skill in the art.
  • An option bleed valve is disposed on the fluid bladder and in fluid communication with the interior of the fluid bladder.
  • a fluid inflation valve is disposed on the fluid bladder, on the interior face of a side wall or top wall panel, on the exterior face of a side wall or top wall panel, or in the side wall or top wall, for example attached to the corrugation material. Regardless of how the fluid inflation valve is attached, the valve is in fluid communication with an interior lumen of the fluid inflation bladder.
  • Optional fluid inflation valves include, without limiting the invention, a rubber gasket valve, plastic duckbill valve, a pressure valve, a gas-piston pressure regulated flow valve, a stem valve, a tire valve, a snap-in tire valve, a free flow inflation valve, a non-return inflation valve, a fixed plug inflation valve, a pressure inflation valve, a free flow inflation valve without plug, a non-return no plug inflation valve, a Leafield valve, a Halkey-Roberts valve, a Riken-Achilles military valve, a military valve, a summit valve, a float bag valve, and a balloon valve, as seen in Figure 1 .

  • the attachment of the two plastic sheets forms a valve lumen which inflates to form a tube to permit air flow and collapses flat to seal the valve.
  • the plastic duckbill valve is attached using its mounting edge or optionally using mounting tabs are disposed on the mounting edge of the first plastic sheet and the second plastic sheet of the plastic duckbill valve.
  • connection of the valve to the packaging, the valve to the fluid bladder, or the valve opening or to the interior or exterior wall of the container can be glued, taped, stapled, heated, welded or connected in any acceptable manner.
  • an inflation tube is optionally disposed adjacent to the mounting edge of the first plastic sheet and the second plastic sheet and in fluid communication with the valve lumen.
  • the inflation tube may extend from the valve, which is attached to the interior face of a package wall or to a fluid bladder, through the packaging to the exterior, thereby facilitating simple inflation of the fluid bladder.

  • the packaging is inflated after the item is inserted into the packaging, the invention increases safety by eliminating the hazard of the inflatable bladder (i.e., air cushion) exploding in the face of the user if over-inflated. Where a bleed valve is provided in the packaging, the packaging further avoids this by releasing air when pressure reaches a certain level. This would allow for automated and manual air filling without worry of over-inflating.
  • the inflatable bladder i.e., air cushion

  • valve 7 can be glued, taped, stapled, heated, welded or connected in any other manner which one of skill in the art would find acceptable.
  • gas is applied inside collapsible inflation tube 15 , thereby inflating the tube into a cylinder.
  • Valve 7 is in communication with the exterior of inflatable box 1 using tube 30 , seen in Figure 5 .
  • Tube 30 is a hollow lumen, long or short tube or tube or tube of any size or shape and may be made of plastic, rubber, or other similar material known in the art.
  • valve 7 is connected directly to the interior face of a panel of inflatable box 1 by gluing or otherwise fixing first mounting tab 10 and second mounting tab 11 to the panel face.
  • Valve 7 is connected directly to the exterior face of a panel of inflatable box 1 for inflation of the box.

  • the air valve may vary from 1 psi to as much as 100 psi, for example a maximum allowable air pressure of 25 psi.
  • the amount of pressure allowed is directly proportional to the strength of the material used in air bladder 44, inflatable box 40, and the durability of the shipping item. Hence, the stronger the materials used, the higher the air pressure that can be allowed. This is of course in reference to extreme levels. In most cases, air pressure as little as about 10 psi to about 25 psi will typically be adequate, and a device as simple as a basketball air pump can be used to achieve this pressure.
  • the material used in air bladder 44 can range from rubber to plastic of any types or other suitable material capable of holding air and conforming to the shape of the article(s) shipped in inflatable box 40.
  • Inflatable box 1 is assembled by folding first wall 3a, second wall 3b, third wall 3c, and fourth wall 3d, vertically, i.e. at a 90 degree angle from fifth wall 3e .
  • the edges of first wall 3a are attached to second wall 3b using method or materials known in the art.
  • Second wall 3b is then attached to third wall 3c, and so forth, forming an open box, as seen in Figure 8 .
  • Inflatable box 1 is shown with top flaps 4a and 4b and top overlap panels 5a and 5b opened. Inflatable box 1 is assembled and ready for preparing the box for shipping or storage. Item 45 is placed into the interior lumen of inflatable box 1 and top flaps 4a and 4b bent over to close over item 45. Top overlap panels 5a and 5b are subsequently folded over top flaps 4a and 4b, securing the top of inflatable box 1. Air inflation needle 40 is then inserted into valve 7 and fluid flow F1 applied through air inflation needle 40, as seen in Figure 9 . The fluid exits valve 7 as fluid flow F2, entering third wall air bladder 6c . As fluid fills third wall air bladder 6c, the fluid flows through fifth bladder air channel 9e and into fifth air bladder 6e. Fluid continues to flow into subsequent air bladders through the bladder air channels until all the air bladders are filled, thereby securing item 45 in inflatable box 1.
  • the air bladders inflate to provide protection on the bottom, top and sides of item 45 within the interior of inflatable box 1.
  • air inflation needle 40 is withdrawn from valve 7 .
  • Optional bleed valve 8 allows fluid to escape from the air bladders in the instance where inflatable box 1 is overfilled or over-inflated with the fluid.
  • the inflatable packing may be shipped.
  • packing of inflatable box 1 and inflation of bladders 6a through 6f or bladder 46 can be automated.
  • an assembly line may have boxes traversing a conveyor belt with the bottom of the boxes closed, leaving the top open.
  • an article can simply be placed inside of the box through automated means (via a machine) or manual means (via an operator).
  • the box would continue traversing the conveyor belt to an air filling station where an automated or manual means could be utilized to inflate the box to the desired pressure.
  • the current invention provides an apparatus and methodology that significantly improves cost efficiency within the packaging industry, for example in shipping time, weight, and labor.
