Abstract A modular supporting structure for positioning and supporting a product within an outer packing container, is disclosed. The product to be supported has predetermined external dimensions, and the outer packing container forms a chamber of predetermined internal dimensions. The supporting structure is formed from a plurality of modules, each module in turn comprising an air bladder for receiving and retaining air. The air bladder has a first compartment and a second compartment that are in fluid communication one with the other via a restrictive air passage that limits the rate of flow of air therebetween, thus providing physical damping for the product being supported by the modules. There is a connecting portion in the form of a flange, which is attached to the air bladder, that allows the modules to be interconnected one with another. When the modules are connected one to another, a product receiving socket is formed. The product receiving socket is shaped to fit the predetermined external dimensions of the product. Structure porteuse gonflable destinée à positionner et à porter un produit à l'intérieur d'un conteneur extérieur de conditionnement. Ledit produit a des dimensions extérieures prédéterminées, et le conteneur extérieur de conditionnement forme une chambre ayant des dimensions intérieures prédéterminées. La structure porteuse est constituée d'une pluralité de modules dont chacun comporte une vessie apte à recevoir et à retenir de l'air. La vessie possède une premier compartiment et un second compartiment qui sont en communication fluidique par l'intermédiaire d'un passage étroit limitant le débit de l'air passant de l'un des compartiments à l'autre. On obtient ainsi un effet d'amortissement physique du produit porté par les modules. Une partie de liaison sous forme de bride est fixée à la vessie et permet l'interconnexion des modules. Lorsque les modules sont interconnectés, une cavité apte à recevoir un produit est formée. La forme de cette cavité est adaptée aux dimensions extérieures prédéterminées du produit.
