STATEMENT OF THE CASE
The appellants’ invention relates to a packaging module using loose fill
packaging elements. An understanding of the invention can be derived from a
reading of exemplary claims 1, 2, 22 and 25 which read as follows.
1. A packaging module comprising
a porous deformable membrane defining an enclosed
space and characterized in being deformable in three
dimensions; and
a mass of loose fill elements disposed within said
membrane and occupying an amount of said space sufficient to
permit said membrane to be shaped about an item of three
dimensional shape to be packaged and to permit said elements
to move within said membrane to accommodate the three-
dimensional shape of the item.
2. A packaging module as set forth in claim 1 wherein said
membrane is a net bag.
22. A packaging module comprising
a deformable net bag defining an enclosed space and
characterized in being deformable in three dimensions; and
a mass of loose fill elements disposed within said bag
and occupying an amount of said space sufficient to permit said
bag to be shaped about an item to be packaged and to permit
said elements to move within said bag to accommodate the
deformed shape of said bag.
25. A packaging module as set forth in claim 22 wherein said net bag is
made of a material having self-adherent characteristics.
