Abstract

An electrostatic discharge bag may include a bottom portion, and a front portion integrally connected to the bottom portion and including a first inside-out creased edge. The electrostatic bag may include a first side portion integrally connected to the bottom portion and the front portion and including a second inside-out creased edge and a first pair of outside-in creased edges, and a second side portion integrally connected to the bottom portion and the front portion and including a third inside-out creased edge and a second pair of outside-in creased edges. The first and second pairs of outside-in creased edges may enable the electrostatic discharge bag to collapse inward and downward toward the bottom portion. The electrostatic discharge bag may include a rear portion integrally connected to the bottom portion, the first side portion, and the second side portion and including a fourth inside-out creased edge.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electrostatic discharge bag, comprising:
a bottom portion;
a front portion integrally connected to the bottom portion and including a first inside-out creased edge above the bottom portion;
a first side portion integrally connected to the bottom portion and the front portion and including a second inside-out creased edge above the bottom portion and a first pair of outside-in creased edges,
wherein the first pair of outside-in creased edges converge toward a top edge of the first side portion;

a second side portion integrally connected to the bottom portion and the front portion and including a third inside-out creased edge above the bottom portion and a second pair of outside-in creased edges,
wherein the first pair of outside-in creased edges and the second pair of outside-in creased edges enable the electrostatic discharge bag to collapse inward and downward toward the bottom portion; and

a rear portion integrally connected to the bottom portion, the first side portion, and the second side portion and including a fourth inside-out creased edge above the bottom portion.

2. The electrostatic discharge bag of claim 1 , wherein the electrostatic discharge bag forms an opening for receiving a component.

3. The electrostatic discharge bag of claim 1 , wherein the electrostatic discharge bag is self-standing for receiving a component.

4. The electrostatic discharge bag of claim 1 , wherein the electrostatic discharge bag is sized based on a size of a component to be provided in the electrostatic discharge bag.

5. The electrostatic discharge bag of claim 1 , wherein each of the bottom portion, the front portion, the first side portion, the second side portion, and the rear portion includes a thickness that is greater than or equal to 0.0762 millimeters.

6. The electrostatic discharge bag of claim 1 , wherein a height of the rear portion is greater than a height of the front portion.

7. The electrostatic discharge bag of claim 1 , wherein the electrostatic discharge bag wraps a component based on the first pair of outside-in creased edges and the second pair of outside-in creased edges collapsing inward and downward toward the bottom portion.

8. The electrostatic discharge bag of claim 1 , wherein the electrostatic discharge bag is to store and protect a component from electrostatic discharge.

9. The electrostatic discharge bag of claim 1 , wherein the bottom portion includes a length of greater than or equal to 50.8 centimeters and a width of greater than or equal to 50.8 centimeters.

10. The electrostatic discharge bag of claim 1 , wherein a height of the front portion is greater than or equal to 32.512 centimeters.

11. The electrostatic discharge bag of claim 1 , wherein a height of the rear portion is greater than or equal to 38.1 centimeters.

12. The electrostatic discharge bag of claim 1 , wherein the first inside-out creased edge of the front portion is provided at a height of greater than or equal to 7.112 centimeters along a height of the front portion.

13. The electrostatic discharge bag of claim 1 , wherein the second inside-out creased edge of the first side portion is provided at a height of greater than or equal to 7.112 centimeters along a height of the first side portion.

14. The electrostatic discharge bag of claim 1 , wherein the third inside-out creased edge of the second side portion is provided at a height of greater than or equal to 7.112 centimeters along a height of the second side portion.

15. The electrostatic discharge bag of claim 1 , wherein the fourth inside-out creased edge of the rear portion is provided at a height of greater than or equal to 7.112 centimeters along a height of the rear portion.

16. The electrostatic discharge bag of claim 1 , wherein a height of a first section of the first side portion is greater than or equal to 38.1 centimeters and a height of a second section of the first side portion is greater than or equal to 32.512 centimeters.

17. The electrostatic discharge bag of claim 1 , wherein a height of a first section of the second side portion is greater than or equal to 38.1 centimeters and a height of a second section of the second side portion is greater than or equal to 32.512 centimeters.

18. The electrostatic discharge bag of claim 1 , wherein the electrostatic discharge bag includes a static shielding film material.

19. A system, comprising:
a component; and
an electrostatic discharge bag that includes:
a bottom portion for supporting the component,
a front portion integrally connected to the bottom portion and including a first inside-out creased edge above the bottom portion,
a first side portion integrally connected to the bottom portion and the front portion and including a second inside-out creased edge above the bottom portion and a first pair of outside-in creased edges,
wherein the first pair of outside-in creased edges converge toward a top edge of the first side portion,

a second side portion integrally connected to the bottom portion and the front portion and including a third inside-out creased edge above the bottom portion and a second pair of outside-in creased edges,
wherein the first pair of outside-in creased edges and the second pair of outside-in creased edges enable the electrostatic discharge bag to collapse inward and downward toward the component supported by the bottom portion, and

a rear portion integrally connected to the bottom portion, the first side portion, and the second side portion and including a fourth inside-out creased edge above the bottom portion.

20. A method, comprising:
providing a component in an electrostatic discharge bag that includes:
a bottom portion for supporting the component,
a front portion integrally connected to the bottom portion and including a first inside-out creased edge above the bottom portion,
a first side portion integrally connected to the bottom portion and the front portion and including a second inside-out creased edge above the bottom portion and a first pair of outside-in creased edges,
wherein the first pair of outside-in creased edges converge toward a top edge of the first side portion,

a second side portion integrally connected to the bottom portion and the front portion and including a third inside-out creased edge above the bottom portion and a second pair of outside-in creased edges, and
a rear portion integrally connected to the bottom portion, the first side portion, and the second side portion and including a fourth inside-out creased edge above the bottom portion;

forcing the first side portion and the second side portion inward based on the first pair of outside-in creased edges and the second pair of outside-in creased edges to cause the electrostatic discharge bag to collapse inward and downward toward the component;
overlapping the rear portion over the front portion to form a seam; and
applying an adhesive material to the seam to seal the component in the electrostatic discharge bag.
