Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This non-provisional application is a continuation-in-part
patent application of U.S. application Ser. No. 15/915,973 filed on
2018 Mar. 8.
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The disclosure relates to an inner package and a packaging
box including the same, more particularly to an inner package made
of a single piece and a packaging box including the same.
BACKGROUND
[0003] A product or good must be well packaged to avoid damage
during transportation. Generally, the product is packaged by an
inner packaging and then put into an outer package with the inner
package. This can provide a cushion effect thereby providing
protection to the product to avoid possible scratching or other
damages.
[0004] In prior art, the inner package is consisted of multiple
independent packing pieces to fit different parts of the product
and to position the product in the outer package, thus the
packaging process contains a lot of steps. Such inner package
requires several processes for molding these pieces, and this not
only increases the overall mold cost, but also extends the
production time. In addition, too many packing pieces would
increase the error rate of packaging and extend the packaging time,
thereby resulting in product launch delay. Furthermore, it requires
complicated removal steps to remove the product from the inner
package. That is, the conventional inner package is not cost
effective and is not convenient for packaging staffs and users.
SUMMARY
[0005] Accordingly, the present disclosure provides an inner
package and a packaging box including the same which are beneficial
to reduce the mold cost, the complexity of the packaging process,
the error rate and the time cost and to facilitate packaging staffs
to package and users to unpack.
[0006] One embodiment of the disclosure provides an inner package
configured to package an object and to be put into an outer package
with the object. The inner package includes a top portion, a rear
portion and a bottom portion. The top portion, the rear portion and
the bottom portion are made of a single piece, the top portion and
the bottom portion are respectively foldably connected to two
opposite sides of the rear portion so that the inner package has a
folded position and an unfolded position. The inner package in the
unfolded position allows the object to be positioned on the rear
portion; when the inner package is in the folded position, the top
portion and the bottom portion are folded with respect to the rear
portion and form an accommodating space with the rear portion for
accommodating the object and respectively pressing against two
opposite sides of the object.
[0007] One embodiment of the disclosure provides a packaging box
configured to package an object. The packaging box includes an
outer package and an inner package. The outer package has a first
accommodating space. The inner package includes a top portion, a
rear portion and a bottom portion. The top portion, the rear
portion and the bottom portion are made of a single piece, the top
portion and the bottom portion are respectively foldably connected
to two opposite sides of the rear portion so that the inner package
has a folded position and an unfolded position. The inner package
in the unfolded position allows the object to be positioned on the
rear portion; when the inner package is in the folded position, the
top portion and the bottom portion are folded with respect to the
rear portion and form a second accommodating space with the rear
portion for accommodating the object and respectively pressing
against two opposite sides of the object; and when the inner
package is in the folded position, the inner package and the object
are allowed to be accommodated into the first accommodating space
of the outer package together.
[0008] According to the inner package and the packaging box as
discussed in above, the inner package including the top portion,
the rear portion and the bottom portion is made of a single piece,
and the top portion and the bottom portion can be used to retain
and clamp the object so as to properly package the object.
[0009] In contrast to the conventional inner package which is
consisted of multiple independent packaging pieces, the inner
package of the present disclosure is beneficial to largely reduce
the mold cost, the complexity of the packaging process, the error
rate and the time cost, etc.
[0010] In addition, it is understood that the object can be easily
unpacked from the inner package. For example, after taking out the
inner package from the outer package, the object can be directly
taken out from the inner package via the side which is not clamped
or retained by the inner package.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] In the following detailed description, for purposes of
explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to
provide a thorough understanding of the disclosed embodiments. It
will be apparent, however, that one or more embodiments may be
practiced without these specific details. In other instances,
well-known main structures and devices are schematically shown in
order to simplify the drawing.
[0021] Firstly, please refer to FIGS. 1-4, FIG. 1 is a perspective
view of a packaging box and an object packaged in the packaging box
according to one embodiment of the disclosure, FIG. 2 is an
exploded view of the packaging box and the object in FIG. 1, FIG. 3
is a perspective view of an inner package in FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 is
a perspective view of the inner package in an unfolded
position.
[0022] This embodiment provides a packaging box 1 including an
outer package 9 and an inner package 2. The inner package 2 is
configured to package an object 8 and is able to be placed into the
outer package 9 with the object 8 together. The object 8 is, for
example, an electronic product or a non-electronic product. In this
embodiment, the object 8 is an on-ear headphone, so it also can be
called `on-ear headphone 8` in this embodiment. However, it is
noted that the type of the object or product that can be packaged
in the inner package 2 is not restricted, and the on-ear headphone
is merely an example for understanding the spirit of the present
disclosure.
[0023] Then, the outer package 9 and the inner package 2 are
discussed in more detail in the following paragraphs.
[0024] The outer package 9 includes a top cover portion 91, an
accommodating portion 92, a base portion 93 and a decoration plate
94. The accommodating portion 92 is a box-like object having
openings on either end, and the accommodating portion 92 has a
first accommodating space S1 for accommodating the inner package 2
and the on-ear headphone 8. In addition, the accommodating portion
92 is made of, for example, a transparent plastic material,
enabling consumers to see the on-ear headphone 8 through the outer
package 9 when the inner package 2 and the on-ear headphone 8 are
accommodated in the accommodating portion 92. The top cover portion
91 is fixed on the top side of the accommodating portion 92. The
top cover portion 91 has a part that is able to be opened to expose
the second accommodating space S2. In detail, in this embodiment,
the top cover portion 91 has a dotted line 910 on the top side
thereof, and one can tear the top cover portion 91 along the dotted
line 910 so that part of the top cover portion 91 can be opened to
create an opening 911 connected to the first accommodating space S1
and allowing the inner package 2 and the on-ear headphone 8 in the
accommodating portion 92 to pass therethrough. However, the present
disclosure is not limited to how to open the top cover portion 91.
In fact, any design that can make a side of the outer package to be
openable and to able to let the inner package part to pass through
should fall within the scope of the present disclosure. The base
portion 93 is fixed at the opening at the bottom of the
accommodating portion 92 so as to seal the opening. The decoration
plate 94 is located between the inner package 2 and the
accommodating portion 92, and it can be printed with information,
such as images and texts, which are related to the on-ear headphone
8. By doing so, when the on-ear headphone 8 is accommodated within
the accommodating portion 92 with the inner package 2, consumer or
buyer can see the information on the decoration plate 94 through
the accommodating portion 92, and this helps to improve the visual
effect. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the
design of the outer package 9, any design that can properly
accommodate the inner package 2 and the on-ear headphone 8 should
fall within the scope of the present disclosure. For example, in
some other embodiments, the outer package may be made of a single
piece and have a dotted line on one side, so one still can tear
part of the outer package to create an opening which allows the
inner package to pass through.
[0025] Then, the inner package 2 is discussed hereinafter. The
inner package 2 is made of a single piece which is made of, for
example, a transparent or translucent plastic material. In this
embodiment, the inner package 2 includes a top portion 10, a rear
portion 20 and a bottom portion 30 which are connected in one
piece. The rear portion 20 is connected to and located between the
top portion 10 and the bottom portion 30. That is, the top portion
10 and the bottom portion 30 are respectively connected to two
opposite sides of the rear portion 20. In more detail, the top
portion 10 is foldably connected to the rear portion 20 about a
first folding line F1 so that the top portion 10 is able to be
folded with respect to the rear portion 20, and the bottom portion
30 is foldably connected to the rear portion 20 about a second
folding line F2 so that the bottom portion 30 is able to be folded
with respect to the rear portion 20. As such, the inner package 2
has a folded position (as shown in FIG. 3) and an unfolded position
(as shown in FIG. 4). When the inner package 2 is in the folded
position, the top portion 10 and the bottom portion 30 are folded
to come close to each other and form a second accommodating space
S2 with the rear portion 20. When the inner package 2 is in the
unfolded position, the top portion 10 and the bottom portion 30 are
spread out with respect to the rear portion 20.
[0026] Then, the top portion 10, the rear portion 20 and the bottom
portion 30 are discussed in more detail in the following
paragraphs.
[0027] According to the shape of the on-ear headphone 8, the
surfaces of the top portion, the rear portion and the bottom
portion have some features such as retaining indentations and/or a
positioning protrusion fitting the on-ear headphone 8. Therefore,
the location, shape, and size of the retaining indentation or
positioning protrusion would be changed to match the product to be
packaged, so they are not restricted. In this embodiment, the top
portion 10 has a first clamping surface 110 and a first inclined
surface 120 which are connected to each other. The first clamping
surface 110 is able to support a side of the on-ear headphone 8.
The first clamping surface 110 has a plurality of first retaining
indentations 111 that can fit and retain part of the on-ear
headphone 8 (e.g., part of the headband) in order to position the
on-ear headphone 8. The first inclined surface 120 is connected to
and located between the first folding line F1 and the first
clamping surface 110.
[0028] The rear portion 20 has a supporting surface 210, a top
surface 220, a top inclined surface 230, a bottom surface 240 and a
bottom inclined surface 250. The supporting surface 210 is able to
support the on-ear headphone 8, and the supporting surface 210 has
a plurality of second retaining indentations 211 thereon. The
shapes of the second retaining indentations 211 fit part of the
on-ear headphone 8 (e.g., part of the headband and part of the ear
cover) in order to position the on-ear headphone 8. The top surface
220 is connected to a side of the supporting surface 210 facing the
top portion 10, and the top inclined surface 230 is connected to
and located between the first folding line F1 and the top inclined
surface 230. That is, the top portion 10 and the rear portion 20
are connected to each other respectively through the first inclined
surface 120 and the top inclined surface 230, and the supporting
surface 210 is connected to the top inclined surface 230 through
the top surface 220.
[0029] In addition, the top surface 220 and the top inclined
surface 230 of the rear portion 20 together form a first depression
21. The shape of the first depression 21 matches the shape of the
first clamping surface 110 and the first inclined surface 120.
Thus, when the top portion 10 is folded with respect to the rear
portion 20 about the first folding line F1, the first clamping
surface 110 and the first inclined surface 120 respectively press
against the top surface 220 and the top inclined surface 230, such
that part of the top portion 10 is located at and fits the first
depression 21, allowing the top portion 10 to be stably placed on
the rear portion 20.
[0030] The bottom surface 240 is connected to another side of the
supporting surface 210 away from the top portion 10, and the bottom
inclined surface 250 is connected to and located between the second
folding line F2 and the bottom surface 240.
[0031] The bottom portion 30 has a second clamping surface 310 and
a second inclined surface 320 which are connected to each other.
The second clamping surface 310 is able to support another side of
the on-ear headphone 8 away from the top portion 10. The second
clamping surface 310 has a plurality of third retaining
indentations 311. The shape of the third retaining indentation 311
fits part of the on-ear headphone 8 (e.g. the bottom part of the
ear cover), such that the third retaining indentations 311 are able
to position and retain the on-ear headphone 8. The second inclined
surface 320 is connected to and located between the second folding
line F2 and the second clamping surface 310. In addition, the
second clamping surface 310 further has a fourth retaining
indentation 312, the fourth retaining indentation 312 is connected
to and located between the two third retaining indentations 311 and
is configured to accommodate the cable of the on-ear headphone 8
(as shown in FIG. 5), but the fourth retaining indentation 312 is
optional.
[0032] Furthermore, the bottom surface 240 and the bottom inclined
surface 250 of the rear portion 20 together form a second
depression 22. The shape of the second depression 22 matches the
shape of the second clamping surface 310 and the second inclined
surface 320. Thus, when the bottom portion 30 is folded with
respect to the rear portion 20 about the second folding line F2,
the second clamping surface 310 and the second inclined surface 320
respectively press against the bottom surface 240 and the bottom
inclined surface 250 of the rear portion 20, such that part of the
bottom portion 30 is located at and fits the second depression 22,
allowing the bottom portion 30 to be stably placed on the rear
portion 20.
[0033] Moreover, the inner package 2 further includes a positioning
protrusion 40. The positioning protrusion 40 protrudes from the
supporting surface 210 of the rear portion 20 and is used to
position the on-ear headphone 8.
[0034] Then, please refer to FIG. 4 and further refer to FIGS. 5-6
to more understand how to use the inner package 2 to package a
product. FIG. 5 is an assembly drawing of the inner package and the
object in FIG. 1, and FIG. 6 is a side view of the inner package
and the object in FIG. 1.
[0035] Firstly, as shown in FIG. 4, the inner package 2 is spread
out; that is, the top portion 10 and the bottom portion 30 are
unfolded with respect to the rear portion 20, such that the inner
package 2 is in the unfolded position.
[0036] Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the on-ear headphone 8 is able to
be placed in the second retaining indentations 211 on the
supporting surface 210 of the rear portion 20 along a direction D1,
and the positioning protrusion 40 is able to separate the ear
covers of the on-ear headphone 8 and maintain them in desired
positions. By doing so, the on-ear headphone 8 is preliminarily
positioned and retained.
[0037] Then, the top portion 10 is folded about the first folding
line F1 in a direction D2 to let the first clamping surface 110 and
the first inclined surface 120 to respectively press against the
top surface 220 and the top inclined surface 230 of the rear
portion 20, such that part of the top portion 10 is located at the
first depression 21. When the top portion 10 presses against the
rear portion 20, the first retaining indentation 111 on the first
clamping surface 110 of the top portion 10 presses and accommodates
part of the headband of the on-ear headphone 8 so as to provide a
limitation in another direction to retain and position the on-ear
headphone 8.
[0038] Then, the bottom portion 30 is folded about the second
folding line F2 in a direction D3 to let the second clamping
surface 310 and the second inclined surface 320 to respectively
press against the bottom surface 240 and the bottom inclined
surface 250 of the rear portion 20, such that part of part of the
bottom portion 30 is located at the second depression 22. When the
bottom portion 30 presses against the rear portion 20, the third
retaining indentations 311 on the second clamping surface 310 of
the bottom portion 30 respectively press and accommodate the ear
covers of the on-ear headphone 8 so as to provide a further
limitation in a different direction to retain and position the
on-ear headphone 8. At this moment, the inner package 2 is in the
folded position and forms the second accommodating space S2 to
accommodate the on-ear headphone 8, and the top portion 10 and the
bottom portion 30 respectively press against two opposite sides of
the on-ear headphone 8; that is, the on-ear headphone 8 is retained
and clamped by the inner package 2.
[0039] It is noted that such steps are exemplary, and the present
disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, in some other
embodiments, the bottom portion 30 may be folded before folding the
top portion 10; alternatively, the bottom portion 30 and the top
portion 10 may be folded at the same time.
[0040] By the above steps, the on-ear headphone 8 is packaged by
the inner package 2. Then, as shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2, the inner
package 2 and the on-ear headphone 8 can be put into the first
accommodating space S1 of the outer package 9 together. Lastly, the
top cover portion 91 of the outer package 9 is closed so that the
packaging process of the on-ear headphone 8 is finished. As
discussed, an object or product (e.g. the on-ear headphone 8)
having a complicated shape can be properly packaged and fixed in
position by the inner package 2 of a single piece.
[0041] In contrast to the conventional inner package which is
consisted of multiple independent packaging pieces, the inner
package 2 made of a single piece is beneficial to largely reduce
the mold cost, the complexity of the packaging process, the error
rate and the time cost, etc.
[0042] In addition, consumers can take the on-ear headphone 8 out
of the inner package 2 by a few simple steps. For example, tearing
the outer package 9 along the dotted line 910 on the outer package
9 to take out the inner package 2 and the on-ear headphone 8
together, and then directly taking out the on-ear headphone 8 from
the inner package 2. In the present disclosure, taking out the
product from package is also much more convenient than the prior
art design.
[0043] Moreover, in order to allow the packaging staff or user to
take out the product (e.g., the aforementioned on-ear headphone 8)
in a more convenient manner, the disclosure further provides
another embodiment as shown in FIGS. 7-9, wherein the outer package
and the inner package in the another embodiment and the previous
embodiment only have a few differences, thus the same parts of
these embodiments will not be repeated in the following
paragraphs.
[0044] As shown in FIGS. 7-9, FIG. 7 is a perspective view of an
inner package according to another embodiment of the disclosure,
and FIGS. 8-9 are schematic views showing the operation of a
packaging box using the inner package in FIG. 7. This embodiment
provides an inner package 2a, the inner package 2a is similar to
the inner package 2 in previous embodiments but having a difference
in that the inner package 2a further includes a tongue portion
1111. In detail, the tongue portion 1111 is located at a front edge
11 of a top portion 10a of the inner package 2a. Specifically, the
front edge 11 is located at a side of the top portion 10a which is
located away from the rear portion 20 and the bottom portion 30,
and the tongue portion 1111 is foldably connected to the front edge
11 of the top portion 10a. In this embodiment, the tongue portion
1111 and the top portion 10a are made of a single piece, but the
disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, in some other
embodiments, the tongue portion 1111 may be additionally adhered to
or fixed to the front edge 11; in such a case, the top portion 10a
and the tongue portion 1111 may be made of different materials. In
this embodiment, the tongue portion 1111 is located between the top
portion 10a and the top cover portion 91 while the cover portion 91
is in a closed state; after the top cover portion 91 has been
opened, the packaging staff or user is allowed to pinch and pivot
the tongue portion 1111. It is noted that the location of the
tongue portion 1111 on the front edge 11 is not restricted to be
located at the middle of the top portion 10a shown in FIGS.
7-9.
[0045] Then, FIGS. 8-9 shows a packaging box 1a using the
aforementioned inner package 2a. After the top cover portion 91 of
the outer package 9 has been opened, the packaging staff or user is
able to pinch and pivot the tongue portion 1111 on the top portion
10a of the inner package 2a along a direction of A1, and then to
smoothly open the top portion 10a by pulling upwards the tongue
portion 1111, such that both the inner package 2a and the product
therein (e.g., the on-ear headphone 8) can be pulled out of the
outer package 9 along a direction of A2 by keeping pulling upwards
the tongue portion 1111. Accordingly, after the top cover portion
91 of the outer package 9 has been opened, consumers can take the
inner package 2a and the on-ear headphone 8 out of the outer
package 9 in one step with the help of the tongue portion 1111,
making the process of unpacking a product more convenient.
Additionally, it is understood that the size of the tongue portion
1111 is not restricted as long as it is suitable for fingers to
pinch.
[0046] Again, the aforementioned on-ear headphone is merely an
example for explaining the spirit of the inner package of the
present disclosure, thus the present disclosure is not limited to
the on-ear headphone or the product to be packaged. In fact, any
design that can properly package, clamp and position the object or
product and be put into an outer package should fall within the
scope of the inner package of the present disclosure.
[0047] Therefore, in the present disclosure, the designs, locations
and quantities of the top portion, the rear portion, bottom portion
and the positioning protrusion are not restricted, they all can be
changed according to the shape of the object or product to be
packaged. For example, in some other embodiments, a top portion of
an inner package may have multiple first retaining indentations or
have no first retaining indentation, a rear portion may have only
one second retaining indentation or have no second retaining
indentation, a bottom portion may have only one third retaining
indentation or have no third retaining indentation, and there may
have multiple positioning protrusions or have no positioning
protrusion.
[0048] According to the inner package and the packaging box as
discussed in above, the inner package including the top portion,
the rear portion and the bottom portion are made of a single piece,
and the top portion and the bottom portion can be used to retain
and clamp the object so as to properly package the object.
[0049] In contrast to the conventional inner package which is
consisted of multiple independent packaging pieces, the inner
package of the present disclosure is beneficial to largely reduce
the mold cost, the complexity of the packaging process, the error
rate and the time cost, etc.
[0050] In addition, it is understood that the object can be easily
unpacked from the inner package. For example, after taking out the
inner package from the outer package, the object can be directly
taken out from the inner package via the side which is not clamped
or retained by the inner package.
[0051] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various
modifications and variations can be made to the present disclosure.
It is intended that the specification and examples be considered as
exemplary embodiments only, with a scope of the disclosure being
indicated by the following claims and their equivalents.
