Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
122 words
A paper board shipping container having at least an openable end for receiving a printed circuit board or other electronic article to be protected against a charge of static electricity, erected from folding carton board or corrugated board at least of the strength of E-flute to present six walls defining an interior cavity for insertion of said article, all inside paper surfaces opposite outside paper surfaces of the container board being coated with particles of conductive carbon black contained in a printing ink vehicle and of such concentration as to prevent a charge of static electricity originating outside the container from passing through the container, and said container containing an electronic component or module unit sensitive to a charge of static electricity.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
122 words
A paper board shipping container having at least an openable end for receiving a printed circuit board or other electronic article to be protected against a charge of static electricity, erected from folding carton board or corrugated board at least of the strength of E-flute to present six walls defining an interior cavity for insertion of said article, all inside paper surfaces opposite outside paper surfaces of the container board being coated with particles of conductive carbon black contained in a printing ink vehicle and of such concentration as to prevent a charge of static electricity originating outside the container from passing through the container, and said container containing an electronic component or module unit sensitive to a charge of static electricity.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
A container according to claim 1 containing a sheet of anti-static wrapping material for wrapping the contained electronic article as well as a defective electronic article to be replaced thereby, the printing ink vehicle being a varnish or an acrylic.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
A container according to claim 1 or 2 combined with a mailing label adherent to the container for returning to a point of service the replaced defective electronic article.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
134 words
A paper board shipping container having at least an openable end for receiving a printed circuit board or other electronic article to be protected against a charge of static electricity, constructed from folding carton board or corrugated board to present five walls defining an interior cavity for insertion of said article, and a sixth wall for closing said interior cavity, all inside paper surfaces opposite outside paper surfaces of the five walls of the container board, and said sixth wall as well, being coated with particles of conductive carbon black contained in a printing ink vehicle and of such concentration as to prevent a charge of static electricity originating outside the container from passing through the container, and said container containing an electronic component or module unit sensitive to a charge of static electricity.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
134 words
A paper board shipping container having at least an openable end for receiving a printed circuit board or other electronic article to be protected against a charge of static electricity, constructed from folding carton board or corrugated board to present five walls defining an interior cavity for insertion of said article, and a sixth wall for closing said interior cavity, all inside paper surfaces opposite outside paper surfaces of the five walls of the container board, and said sixth wall as well, being coated with particles of conductive carbon black contained in a printing ink vehicle and of such concentration as to prevent a charge of static electricity originating outside the container from passing through the container, and said container containing an electronic component or module unit sensitive to a charge of static electricity.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
40 words
A container according to claim 4 containing a sheet of anti-static wrapping material for wrapping the contained electronic article as well as a defective electronic article to be replaced thereby, the printing ink vehicle being a varnish or an acrylic.
