Abstract:
1. A packaging cushion device comprising: at least one base member having a base wall, a first sidewall, and a second sidewall, said base wall having first and second edges forming a corner therebetween, said first and second sidewalls being perpendicular to said base wall and connected respectively to said first and second edges, said first and second sidewalls being spaced apart from said corner so as to define a first receiving corner portion therebetween; and at least one modular component having a bottom panel, a first side panel, a second side panel, a first projection, and a second projection, said bottom panel having first and second lateral ends forming a corner therebetween, said modular component having a reference point at a juncture between said first and second lateral ends, a first direction that extends perpendicularly away from said base panel from said reference point, and a second direction extending along said second lateral end and away from said first lateral end, said first and second side panels extending respectively from said first and second lateral ends along said first direction, said first and second projections having a shape complementary to that of said receiving corner portion, said first projection extending along said first direction from a part of said first side panel and a part of said second side panel, both of said parts being adjacent to said reference point, said second projection extending along said second direction from said second side panel and an edge of a part of said base panel adjacent to said second side panel, a distance of a distal end of said first projection from said reference point along said first direction being different from a distance of a distal end of said second projection from said reference point along said second direction, wherein a first modular configuration is formed when said first projection of said modular component is inserted into said receiving corner portion of said base member, and a second modular configuration is formed when said second projection of said modular component is inserted into said receiving corner portion.
