DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Please refer to FIGS. 1 and 2, which illustrate a cushioning air bag in which an air cylinder turning zone is preset with an opening disclosed by the present invention.
An air cylinder bag of the present invention includes a cylinder sheet 200, a plurality of longitudinal heat sealing lines 21, a plurality of transversal heat sealing lines 22, a plurality of turning points 4a, 4b, and a respective non-heat sealing section in a predetermined turning zone at the two sides of the bag and a predetermined reduced area required for air cylinders in the non-heat sealing section of a turning zone.
The air cylinder sheet 200 is formed of two sheets of outer film 2 by means of heat sealing, and a plurality of hermetically sealed bodies formed of the air cylinder sheet 200 containing check valves capable of locking air after air filling by means of heat sealing are referred to air cylinders, where an air filling passageway 50 in air communication with the air cylinders 1 and air inlet 52 of each air cylinder 1 are configured in the bag. Air enters the air cylinder 1 via each air inlet 52 along the air filling passageway 50 after air filling. The air cylinders are sealed automatically after air filling because of the installment of the check valves, and the turning points 4a,4b are also disposed on the air cylinder sheet 200, allowing the air cylinders 1 to be bent to turn the air cylinder sheet 200. Thereafter, two sides of the air cylinder sheet 200 are heat sealed, allowing the air cylinder sheet 200 to become an air filling type cushioning air bag with an object storing opening 11 at one end thereof for accepting an object. The air bag is expanded to form a U-typed bent air cylinder bag after filled with air; the bag may be arranged in pairs with continuous check valves respectively used independently for each air cylinder 1 or a single sheet of check valve in air communication with each air cylinder 1. Two sheets of outer film 2 respectively have a corresponding inner face, and an accepting space 10 is formed among a plurality of face-to-face inner surfaces, and an object storing opening 11 is so formed at one end of the air cylinders. The outer film 2 above are made from a hot melt hot-sealable material such as polyester, polyethylene-polypropylene copolymer, PET, EVA, nylon, a film compounded with PE, biodegradable materials, paper coated with polymer, or the same, but the present invention is not so limited.
As shown in FIG.1, the turning points 4a forms a first turning line M1, and the turning points 4b forms a second turning line M2. The first turning line M1 and the second turning line M2 are parallel to at least one axis of plurality of the transversal heat sealing lines 22. A turning middle line M is defined at the middle between the first turning line M1 and the second turning line M2. The air cylinder sheet 200 is folded in half to form a U-typed air bag along turning line M1 and second turning line M2, as FIG. 1 shows, two sides of the air bag are combined with each other through lateral heat sealing lines 2a to form a bag body 100 for use. The two sides 1b herein are preferably adhere together by means of heat sealing, however in practical use, they can be adhered together through an adhesive or other means, but the present invention is not so limited. Specifically, the turning points 4a, 4b, the turning middle line M and the non-heat sealing section 3 of the turning zone (i.e. from nodes 31a to nodes 31b), are disposed on the air cylinders, the air cylinder sheet 200 is folded in half along the turning line M, and the sides positioned on the turning zone 3 are not heat sealed when the two sides 1b are adhered together by means of heat sealing through the heat sealing lines 2a. Specifically, the two sides outside the non-heat sealing section 3 of the turning zone are adhered together by means of heat sealing and the sides inside the non-heat sealing section 3 of the turning zone are open. The turning middle line M is a virtual line; it being a middle line for folding the air cylinder sheet 200 in half is sufficient, instead of adhering the two sheets of outer film 1a together by means of heat sealing.
The node 31a herein, as FIG. 1 shows, may be a starting point, and the node 31b may be an end point; this section is an open area predetermined which is not heat-sealed, i.e. it constitutes the non-heat sealing section 3 of the turning zone. The node 31a , 31b are positioned on two outermost ones of the longitudinal heat sealing lines 21 of the air cylinder sheet 200.
Please refer to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, in which since the section of the lateral heat sealing line 2a from the node 31a to the node 31b is not heat sealed, the lateral air cylinder 1 at the reserved non-heat sealing section 3 of the turning zone is expanded automatically to form a triangular cylinder opening 40 after the air cylinder sheet 200 is filled with air. This structure is simple, without the pointed protrusions at a corner air cylinder that usually happen in a conventional air bag, preventing the air cylinder sheet 200 from leaking due to a fissure caused from the abrasion of the pointed protrusion with an outer box upon transportation Additionally, the air cylinder 1 at the zone stay flatly close to a side of the outer box, thereby achieving a volume reduction, a cushioning effect of the section can be increased due to the triangular lateral air cylinder. The nodes 31a, 31b are marks being not necessarily heat sealing nodes. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3. the nodes 31a, 31b positioned on two respective sides of the turning middle line M contac to each other after the air cylinder sheet 200 is filled with air. The two portions 11, 13 of each air cylinders 1 positioned on two respective sides on non-heat sealing section 3 also to each other.
Please refer to FIGS. 3 and 5, in which two compressed corners 4 are positioned on the plurality of outer film 1a; the compressed corners 4 will be respectively formed on bent positions when the plurality of outer film 1a are filled with air to form air cylinders 1, and bent into a U-typed body. Consequently, the distance between the two sheets of outer film 1a at the bent position is smaller than the distance between the sheets of outer film 1a at other positions where the air cylinder 1 is not bent; the not-heat sealing section 3 of the turning zone combines substantially with the positions of the compressed corners 4 at the two sides to form a triangular body, and a bottom cushioning air cylinder 41 with a supporting surface 41a is included between the compressed corners 4 at the two sides. More specifically, a bottom surface 41b is formed between the nodes 31a, 31b of the air cylinder sheet 200 after the air cylinder sheet 200 is filled with air, and the non-heat sealing section 3 of the turning zone is expanded to form the lateral polygonal opening 40 and so the supporting surface 41a on the bottom of the opening 40. An object in the accepting space 10 will be against the bottom cushioning air cylinder 41 and the supporting surface 41a of the bottom cushioning air cylinder 41 may be against the table surface to perform a cushioning function after the object is placed in the bag body via the object storing opening 11. In addition, the plurality of outer films 1a is expanded by filling with air, and an opening 40 is so formed at the triangular zone.
Please refer to FIGS. 6 and 7, in which in the present embodiment, the air cylinder sheet 200 may be configured with a check valve, a plurality of air inlets 52 may be formed between two sheets of inner film 53, and each air inlet 52 corresponds to one air cylinder 1. The structure of the check valve 5 herein is only an example; a structure with a similar effect can only be configured depending on a practical structure requirement, and the present invention is not so limited. For example, each air cylinder may be configured with its own check valve 5 such that only one air inlet 52 is formed between the two sheets of inner film 53 of the check valve 5. One part of the check valve 5 is positioned between the two sheets of outer film 1a and another part of the check valve 5 is exposed out in the air filling passageway 50. In the present embodiment, the air filling passageway 50 is preferably formed by adhering the two sheets of outer film 1a together by means of heat sealing, providing a route for air filling.
Specifically, the check valve 5 has a heat-resistant material 51, which is stuck to form the air inlet 52 by means of heat sealing, where the air inlet 52 is in air communication with the air filling passageway 50. Preferably, the check valves 5 are formed by adhering the plurality of inner film 53 together by means of heat sealing, and a plurality of heat sealing switches 54 are included between the plurality of inner films 53 and the plurality of outer films 1a. The two sheets of outer film 1a are pulled apart outward after air is filled into the air filling passageway 50, driving each heat sealing switch 54 to pull the respective inner film 53 corresponding thereto apart outward, and further open the corresponding check valve 5, thereby allowing the air in the air filling passageway 50 to be filled between the plurality of outer films 1a via the check valves 5, and the space between the two sheets of outer sheet 1a to be expanded to form the air cylinders 1, Finally, the air cylinders 1 are bent to form a U-typed body.
The two sheets of outer film 1a are pulled apart outward by air pressure in the air filling passageway 50 to drive the each heat sealing switch 54 to pull the respective inner film 53 corresponding thereto apart outward, and further to open each corresponding check valve 5, allowing the air in the air filling passageway 50 to be filled between the plurality of outer films 1a via the check valves 5, and the space between the two sheets of outer film 1a to be expanded to form the air cylinders 1, and the air cylinders 1 are finally bent to form a U-typed body.
Please refer to FIG. 7, in which the figure illustrates a second embodiment of the present invention. The difference between the present invention and the first embodiment is that each two air cylinders 1 are partitioned by a heat sealing line 2, causing each two air cylinders 1 not to be in air communication with each other. An interval is included between a heat sealing line 2 and another heat sealing line 2. The position of the compressed corner 4 at this interval forms a first distance d, and the position of the bottom cushioning air cylinder 41 at this interval also forms a second distance D, where the first distance d is smaller than the second distance D. As the first distance d of the compressed corner 4 is smaller than the second distance D of the bottom cushioning air cylinder 41, the compressed corner 4 can be bent more conveniently after the air cylinders 1 is filled with air. Note in particular, a first interval L1 is included between the two compressed corners 4 on a heat sealing line 2, the non-heat sealing section 3 of the turning zone on a heat sealing line 2 is positioned between the first node 31a and the second node 31b and includes a second interval L2, where the first interval L1 is shorter than the second interval L2.
Please refer to FIGS. 8A, 8B, 9A, 9B, 10A, 10B, 11A and 11B, in which the figures illustrate embodiments of contraction of lateral air cylinders in a turning zone; the lateral air cylinders 1 in the turning zone can be contracted depending on a practical use
When a lateral air cylinder 1 is large, turning it will form a natural stacking, causing the lateral air cylinder 1 to be overlarge. To avoid increasing an outer box volume, the non-heat sealing section 3 of the turning zone that the side of the lateral air cylinder 1 is not intended to be sealed is adopted to contract the volume of the air cylinder 1, thereby preventing the air cylinder 1 from being stacked and so volume-expanded after being turned. Namely, the non-heat sealing section 3 of the turning zone is referred to a section of the lateral side of the air cylinder sheet 200 that is not heat-sealed after the air cylinder sheet 200 is bent in half along the turning line M1 and the second turning line M2, i.e. the lateral side of the air cylinder sheet 200 from the node 31a to the node 31b is not heat-sealed after the air cylinder sheet is bent in half. But, the two sheets of outer film 1a at the non-heat sealing section 3 of the turning zone can be adhered together by means of heat sealing to form various shapes of heat sealing blocks 32 such as rectangle, half ellipse, triangle or other irregularly shaped body. However, the heat sealing block 32 is narrower than the air cylinder, and two sections of the air cylinder 1 at the two sides of the heat sealing block 32 can then be in air communication with each other and so expanded after air filling. Additionally, the heat sealing block 32 may abut upon the turning points 4a, 4b, and may also keep a distance from them, thereby allowing air flow. In addition, the heat sealing block 32 is narrower than the air cylinder and shorter than the non-heat sealing section 3 of the turning zone so as to reduce the area of the air cylinder 1 at the non-heat sealing section 3 of the turning zone.
Methods for reducing the area of the lateral air cylinder 1 are the followings:

    (1) Please refer to FIGS. 8A and 8B, in which contracting an inflatable area of the air cylinder 1 by adhering the air cylinder 1 from the turning point 4a to the other turning point 4b below it by means of heat sealing so that the volume of the air cylinder 1 can be reduced automatically attaining the effect of the turning zone of the air cylinder 1 becoming smaller and narrower after being turned.
    (2) Please refer to FIGS. 9A and 9B, in which forming discontinuous contractions of the turning points 4a, 4b by respectively contracting portions around the turning point 4a and around the turning point 4b so that the air cylinder 1 being wider at the opening point and becoming narrower at the turning points 4a, 4b only appears respectively at the predetermined portions around the turning points 4a, 4b, thus, not only the advantage of the cushioning air bag with the opening 40 is maintained, but the defect of the area increase of the turned air cylinder 1 due to stacking does not exist. Consequently, the configuration of the opening zone with the opening 40 does not cause the cushioning effect to be lost or reduced.
    (3) Please refer to FIGS. 10A and 10B, showing another way to do the contraction according to the turning points 4a, 4b, i.e. respectively doing the contraction of the air cylinder 1 from the turning point 4a to the upper lateral non-heat sealing point and from the turning point 4b to the lower non-heat sealing point, allowing the expansion to be formed between the turning points 4a, 4b after air filling such that the air cylinder 1 between the turning points 4a, 4b expands substantially with saturated air because of no contraction between them, thereby maintaining the cushioning and preventing the turned air cylinder 1 from being bulged and pointed due to stacking.
    (4) Please refer to FIGS. 11A and 11B, further showing another way to do the contraction depending on the turning points 4a, 4b, i.e. contracting the air cylinder 1 from the node 31a to the node 31b at the predetermined lateral not-heat sealing position; in another word, allowing the air cylinder 1 at the non-heat sealing triangular opening 40 to be thinner, and the air cylinder 1 at other position maintains a original shape.

Consequently, a packed object is buffered by the bottom cushioning air cylinder 41.
A step of providing check valves 5 is further included after Step 101 of providing the two sheets of outer film 1a, where the structure of the check valve 5 is described above, the detail thereof is herein omitted. Air is filled in the air filling passageway 50 to pull the two sheets of outer film 1a apart outward, and the plurality of heat sealing switches 54 is then driven to further pull the two sheets of inner film 53 apart outward to open the check valves 5, allowing the air in the air filling passageway 50 to enter the plurality of outer films 1a via the check valves 5.
Furthermore, a space is provided between the any two adjacent longitudinal heat sealing lines 21 in Step 102 of providing a plurality of heat sealing lines 2. Specifically, the distance d between the compressed corner 4 is shorter than the length D of the bottom cushioning air cylinder 41, as FIG. 7 shows.
