Abstract

The present invention provides a packaging carton for fragile, apparatus for making cartoon bottom, and method for making the carton bottom. The packaging carton includes a bottom and peripheral wall which jointly define a receiving space far storing fragile glass substrate with the bottom. The bottom has a skeleton configuration and is made from plastic blowing technology. By the forgoing, the present invention can effectively reduce the packaging cost, and which in turn reducing the cost of the product.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for making a bottom of a packaging carton for fragile glass substrate, wherein the method includes the steps of:
a) preparing a mold and a plastic blowing machine, wherein the mold is designed with ribs so as to create a bottom with hollowed configuration;
b) disposing plastic particles within the mold and heating up to molten state or disposing molten plastic particles into the mold;
c) blowing air into the mold with the plastic blowing machine so as to transform the molten plastic particles into a bottom of a packaging carton with skeleton configuration within the mold, and a peripheral wall with skeleton configuration surrounding the bottom, wherein the bottom and the peripheral wall are all with hollowed configuration;
d) providing a buffering tray having a lower configuration matched within the skeleton configuration of the bottom of the plastic carton and securing the buffering tray onto the bottom of the packaging carton, wherein a peripheral an upper surface of the bottom of the packaging carton is arranged with a first retaining device, and the bottom surface of the buffering tray is provided with a second retaining device corresponding to the first retaining device so as to securely attach the buffering tray with the bottom when the first and second retaining devices engaged with each other, wherein the buffering tray is made from polyethylene terephthalate or polystyrene, wherein the peripheral side wall and the bottom of the packaging carton are made from plastic.

2. The method as recited in claim 1 , characterized in that the first retaining device is a vertical blind hole, and the second retaining device is a vertical dowel post.

3. The method as recited in claim 1 , characterized in that a lid is attached to the top of the peripheral wall after making the bottom of the packaging carton, wherein the lid has a skeleton configuration.

4. The method as recited in claim 2 , characterized in that the number of the blind hole and dowel post are four, and each blind hole is on one of four corners of the upper surface of the bottom.
