Benefits of technology

[0004] Another advantage of the invention is the use of hand pressure to compress the assembled structure inward, creating additional partitions. The biased nature of this finished partition results in the partition pressing on the inner walls of the container, aiding in content protection and minimizing shifting of the partition elements.
[0005] The invention's alternative embodiments utilize a unitary sheet of paperboard formed into cells of varying sizes: 6 of one size, large eno

Problems solved by technology

Multiple piece paperboard partitions are complex in design and require multiple steps to collect and assemble the partitions, making such designs less desirable for use by unskilled labor or in circumstances requiring quick assembly, as in an assembly line at a manufacturing and pack

Example

[0008] Shown in FIG. 1 is a blank 11 that has been die-cut and scored from a sheet of paperboard. While corrugated fiberboard is the most common material currently used in the box partition industry, any material or combination of materials susceptible of performing the described and claimed functions may be used.

[0009] The blank 11 from which the twelve cell embodiment of the invention is formed, comprises a first end 1 containing slots 5 and a second end 2 containing slots 6. Bottom 3 is comprised of bottom sub-sections 7 and 8. First end 1 and second end 2 are foldably connected to Bottom 3 at distal ends of a first sub-section 7 and a second sub-section 7. A first side 4 and a second side 9, each comprising sub-sections 10 and sub-sections 12, are foldably connected at the intersections of sub-sections 10 and first and second sub-sections 7.

[0010] To form the 12 cell embodiment of this invention, first side 4 and second side 9 are folded upward and substantially perpendicular ...

Abstract

A partition structure formed from a unitary sheet of paperboard to provide a plurality of cells for use within a package or container. The structure can be folded in such a way as to provide 12 or more cells of equal size or 6 cells of one size and 3 cells of a larger size.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to the design and construction of an internal box partition for use in packaging. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Single piece and multiple piece paperboard partition designs are well known in the prior art and have been long employed to divide the interior portion of a box or container. Multiple piece paperboard partitions are complex in design and require multiple steps to collect and assemble the partitions, making such designs less desirable for use by unskilled labor or in circumstances requiring quick assembly, as in an assembly line at a manufacturing and packaging plant. Single piece designs, while simpler to construct, are limited in the number of partitions available upon assembly, due to constraints on wieldable paperboard dimensions and the ability to fold a single piece design in three dimensions, aided by score lines and cut panels. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0003] There have been a number of patented partitions fo...
