Patent ID: 7770731

Claim:
An apparatus using air cylinders as a cushioning medium, comprising: an air cylinder sheet, comprising a first zone and at least one second zone positioned at one side of the first zone, the first zone and the second zone being respectively constructed by a plurality of air cylinders; at least one cut line, positioned between the first zone and the second zone, where the length of the at least one cut line is shorter than the length of one of the air cylinders, the air cylinders of the first zone and the air cylinders of the second zone being separated from each other at the at least one cut line; at least one connecting line, positioned between the first zone and the at least one second zone and connected with the at least one cut line, the air cylinders of the first zone and the air cylinders of the at least one second zone being connected with each other at the at least one connecting line; a plurality of bendable points, positioned in the air cylinders, a width of each of the bendable points being smaller than a width of one of the air cylinders, the air cylinders of the first zone being bent along the bendable points and the air cylinders of the at least one second zone being bent along the at least one connecting line thereby allowing an article to be covered; and a plurality of bridge sections, positioned between two of the bendable points of the air cylinders of the at least one second zone, parts of the air cylinders at two ends of each bridge section being bent along the bendable points to attach to each other so as to be disposed substantially perpendicular to the bridge section, thereby providing the article with double cushioning protection.
