Abstract

A protective air bag structure which is mainly composed of multiple pliable segments joining several air bag bodies. There are many adhesive lines--in both vertical and horizontal directions--on the pliable segments, by which the thickness after inflation for the air bag'"'"'s pliable segments is limited. There are several horizontal air access routes created within these adhesive lines. The sections, which are not completely closed, form air connecting access routes along the adhesive lines between each air bag body.

Claims

1. A protective air bag device comprising:

a plurality of air bag bodies,

a plurality of pliable segments comprising a plurality of vertical and horizontal adhesive lines, said adhesive lines divide each said pliable segment into a plurality of adjoining air bags, said adhesive lines limit an inflated thickness of each said air bag so that each said pliable segment folds easily, and

at least one air inlet in one of said air bag bodies;

wherein

said pliable segments connect said air bag bodies, said pliable segments further include a plurality of air access routes so that air moves between said air bag bodies and said air bags,

said protective air bag device is adapted to enclose an object, said pliable segments able to contact corners of the object, a position of said pliable segments on the corners is adjustable to compensate for varying sizes of objects to be enclosed within said protective air bag device.

2. The protective air bag device of claim 1 wherein:

at least one interval point attaches an upper surface of at least one of said air bag bodies to a lower surface of said one of said air bag bodies such that an inflated thickness of said one of said air bag bodies is limited by said at least one interval point.

3. The protective air bag device of claim 1 wherein:

said pliable segments include a plurality of horizontal air access routes that allows the pliable segments to be fully inflated.

4. The protective air bag device of claim 3 wherein:

at least one interval point attaches an upper surface of at least one of said air bag bodies to a lower surface of said one of said air bag bodies such that an inflated thickness of said one of said air bag bodies is limited by said at least one interval point.
