The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed.

Assembly for Packaging Articles
Field of the invention
The present invention relates to packaging assembly, and more particularly; to a packaging assembly for articles and devices such as circuit breaker devices.
Background of the invention
Switchgear devices such as circuit breakers, contain several components and linkages which are very important for functioning thereof. Accordingly, packaging of the circuit breakers has to ensure that no damage occurs thereto to inside packaging while transit. There should be no damage to the device during transit/ storage, loading/unloading impact/jerks and the like.
The devices such as circuit breakers are placed/mounted on a base enclosed in a sleeve/carton with space remaining inside. During transit, due to vibrations, the devices mounted on wooden/plastic base experiences jerks/impacts. These impacts get transferred onto product through the base on which it is mounted.
Further, the conventional packaging system is not easy to assemble as well as
not easy to remove to uncover the electrical device. Further, the conventional
packaging system requires time to pack the electrical device such as circuit
breaker therein and it's very difficult to remove the electrical device there '
from.
Accordingly, there exists a need to provide packaging system for electrical devices such as circuit breaker which overcomes drawbacks of the prior art.

Object of the invention
An object of this present invention is to protect electrical devices such as circuit breakers in optimized content of packaging with shocks/jerks being transferred onto product.
Another object of the present invention is to reduce assembly time, labor and cost of packaging of electrical devices such as circuit breaker.
Summary of the invention
Accordingly, the present invention provides an assembly for packaging articles. The assembly comprising a base plate having a plurality of locators mounted thereon, and foam padding capable of being mounted over the base plate for absorbing shocks during transit The foam padding receives the article thereon. Further, the assembly comprises a carton being capable of mounted on the base plate. The carton is supported by the plurality of locators thereby arresting the movement thereof. Furthermore, the assembly includes the side padding configured inside the carton on at least two sides on the base plate, The side padding allows the carton to remain in fixed position. Moreover, the assembly includes a top padding. The top padding is being capable on mounting over the side padding once the article is placed inside the carton. Wherein once the top padding is kept on the side padding inside the carton with the article therein, flaps of the carton are folded and the carton is strapped to make packaged assembly.

Detailed description of the invention
The foregoing objects of the present invention are accomplished and the problems and shortcomings associated with the prior art, techniques and approaches are overcome by the present invention as described below in the preferred embodiment.
The present invention provides an assembly for packaging articles, such as electrical devices, for examples, circuit breaker in optimized content of packaging with shocks/jerks being transferred onto product. The assembly reduces assembly time, labor and cost of packaging of electrical devices such as circuit breaker.
Referring to figures 1-5, there is shown an assembly for packaging articles. The assembly comprises a base plate (10], a foam padding (20), a carton (30], side paddings (40, 50) and a top padding (60).

The base plate (10) is made of made up of jungle wood or pine wood and is made up of separate wooden planks (12) as shown in figure 1. In an embodiment, the base plate (10) is made of continuous wooden sheet. The base plate (10) includes a plurality of locators (14) mounted thereon. The plurality of locators (14) is mounted on corners of the base plate (10) as shown in figure 1.
The foam padding (20) is mounted over the base plate (10) for absorbing shocks during transit. The foam padding (20) receives the article/product (70) to be packed thereon as shown in figure 2. The foam padding (20) is mounted on the separate wooden planks as shown in figure 1. The foam padding (20) includes a plurality of openings (not numbered) configured thereon which aligns with a plurality of holes (not shown) provided on the base plate (10). The corresponding openings on the foam padding (20) are secured to the corresponding holes of the base plate (10) by means of hardware, such as screws. In an embodiment, the foam padding (20) is cross linked polyethylene foam. The cross linked polyethylene foam has high resilient properties which facilitates it to absorb shock during transit.
The carton (30) is mounted on the base plate (10) by the support of the plurality of locators (14). The plurality of locators (14) arrests the movement of the carton (30) out of the base plate (10). The carton (30) is further supported from inside by means of the side padding (40, 50) as shown in figure 3.
The side paddings (40, 50), for example, the front padding (40) and rear padding (50) are configured inside the carton (30) on at least two side, for

example, a front side and rear side on the base plate (10) as shown in figure 2. The side paddings (40, 50) allow the carton (30) to remain in fixed position on the base plate (10). The side paddings (40, 50) are used in order to absorb jerks coming from sideways while transit of the product. The side paddings (40, 50) are covered by the top padding (60).
The top padding (60) is mounted over the side paddings (40, 50) once the article/product is placed inside the carton (30) as shown in figures 4 and 5. The top padding (60) includes profiles (62) configured on corners thereof for restricting movement of the side paddings (40, 50) when the top padding (60) is placed thereon as shown in figure 4. The top padding (60) provides ingress protection to the article/product (70) from topside.
In an embodiment, the side padding (40, 50) and the top padding (60) are corrugated paddings.
Once the top padding (60) is kept on the side paddings (40, 50) inside the carton (30) with the article/product (70) therein, flaps (32) of the carton (30) are folded and the carton (30) is strapped to make a packaged assembly.
Advantages of the invention
1. The assembly (100) provides reliable protection to the article/product
during transit and even when article/product is kept at one place.
2. The assembly (100) provides ingress protection to product
3. The assembly (100) requires optimum use of packaging material to ensure no damages to product
4. The assembly (100) is light in weight and easy to transport

5. The assembly (100) requires less assembly time as compared to previous arts
6. The assembly (100) is ease to assemble.
The foregoing object the invention is accomplished and the problems and shortcomings associated with prior art techniques and approaches are overcome by the present invention described in the present embodiment. Detailed descriptions of the preferred embodiment are provided herein; however, it is to be understood that the present invention may be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but rather as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to employ the present invention in virtually any appropriately detailed system, structure, or matter. The embodiments of the invention as described above and the methods disclosed herein will suggest further modification and alterations to those skilled in the art.
