SUPPORT FRAME FOR PACKAGING LIQUID CRYSTAL GLASS PANEL

摘要

A support frame is provided for packaging a liquid crystal glass panel. The support frame includes four corner pieces, upper connection bars, and lower connection bars. The upper connection bars are connected to top ends of the corner pieces to form an upper sub-frame. The lower connection bars are connected to bottom ends of the corner pieces to form a bottom bracket, which includes a lower sub-frame corresponding to the upper sub-frame and a carriage rack located inside and connected to the lower sub-frame. The support frame is rigid and may reinforce a tray against deformation caused by stacking or handling trays. The support frame is of a knockdown arrangement composed of multiple components in such a way that a portion of the components may be shared for contained products of different sizes so as to reduce the manufacturing cost.

主权项

1. A support frame for packaging a liquid crystal glass panel, comprising: four separate corner pieces, a plurality of upper connection bars, and a plurality of lower connection bars;
wherein the plurality of upper connection bars is connected to the four corner pieces to form an upper sub-frame that delimits and defines an upper hollow area adapted to correspond in shape and size to a liquid crystal glass panel and to receive a liquid crystal glass panel to pass therethrough; wherein the plurality of lower connection bars is connected to the four corner pieces to form a bottom bracket, which comprises a lower sub-frame and a carriage rack, the lower sub-frame being arranged to correspond to the upper sub-frame and delimiting and defining a lower hollow area corresponding to the upper hollow space and corresponding in shape and size to the liquid crystal glass panel, the carriage rack being connected to the lower sub-frame and located in the lower hollow area delimited by the lower sub-frame; wherein each of the corner pieces comprises two side plates connected to each other and each extending between and connected to the upper sub-frame and the lower sub-frame, the side plates of the corner pieces and the upper and lower sub-frames collectively define a hollow volume having an upper opening formed by the upper hollow area delimited by the upper sub-frame and adapted to receive the liquid crystal glass panel into the hollow volume, each of the corner pieces further comprising a bottom plate extending from the side plates into the lower hollow area delimited by the lower sub-frame and partly covering a lower opening of the hollow volume; and wherein the bottom plates of the corner pieces and the carriage rack collectively define a plane adapted to support the liquid crystal glass panel thereon and retain the liquid crystal glass panel in the hollow volume.
