Abstract

A glass substrate protective pad which protects a glass substrate in close contact with the glass substrate. The glass substrate protective pad has multiple layers, the rear layer of the multiple layers which is to be in close contact with the glass substrate containing foamed polymer. A glass substrate packing container for packing a plurality of glass substrates loaded therein, in which the above-described glass substrate protective pad is in close contact with the front surface of the plurality of glass substrates.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A glass substrate protective pad which protects a glass substrate in contact with the glass substrate, the glass substrate protective pad comprising: multiple layer, wherein a rear layer of the multiple layers which is to be in contact with the glass substrate contains foamed polymer and wherein the rear layer has concave-convex portions on a rear surface thereof which is to be in contact with the glass substrate; and
an insert in front of the rear layer, wherein the insert has a frame structure.

2. The glass substrate protective pad of claim 1 , wherein the concave-convex portions have a stripe pattern or a dot pattern.

3. The glass substrate protective pad of claim 1 , wherein a strength of the insert is greater than a strength of the rear layer.

4. The glass substrate protective pad of claim 2 , wherein the insert is vertically and laterally symmetrical.

5. The glass substrate protective pad of claim 1 , wherein an upper end and a lower end of the insert are respectively spaced apart from an upper edge and a lower edge of the glass substrate protective pad.

6. The glass substrate protective pad of claim 1 , further comprising a front layer in front of the rear layer, wherein the front layer contains foamed polymer.

7. The glass substrate protective pad of claim 1 , further comprising:
a front layer in front of the rear layer; and
wherein the insert is between the rear layer and the front layer, a strength of the insert being greater than a strength of the rear layer and than a strength of the front layer.

8. The glass substrate protective pad of claim 1 , further comprising:
a front layer in front of the rear layer;
an inner layer between the rear layer and the front layer; and
wherein the insert is between the rear layer and the inner layer and/or between the front layer and the inner layer, a strength of the insert being greater than a strength of the rear layer, than a strength of the inner layer, and than a strength of the front layer.

9. The glass substrate protective pad of claim 1 , further comprising:
a front layer in front of the rear layer;
an inner layer between the rear layer and the front layer, the inner layer having a through-hole in a corner thereof; and
an elastic member disposed in the through-hole of the inner layer, the elastic member being made of a material whose elasticity is greater than elasticity of the rear layer, than elasticity of the inner layer, and than elasticity of the rear layer.

10. The glass substrate protective pad of claim 1 , wherein the foamed polymer comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), ethylene polypropylene (EPP) and expanded polyethylene (EPE).

11. A glass substrate packing container for packing a plurality of glass substrates loaded therein, wherein the glass substrate protective pad as claimed in claim 1 is in contact with a front surface of the plurality of glass substrates.
