Application March 7, 1949, Serial No. 80,017
3 Claims.
which will divide a box or package into a plurality of longitudinally and laterally extending, individual merchandise compartments.
Partition members have been made by stamping portions from a fiat sheet and. thence bending these portions upwardly. These have not been satisfactory for quantity production, due to the fact that the upwardly bent. portions gradually bend back toward their former positions and will not retain themselves in place until they can be braced by longitudinal partitions or by the merchandise. Another object of this invention is to so design a cut-out partition blank that integral means will be provided for bracing and hold ing the bentpartitions in their final positions.
Other objects and advantages reside in the detail construction of the invention, which is designed for simplicity, economy, and efficiency. These will become more apparent from the following description.
In the following detailed description of the invention, reference is bad to the accompanying drawing which forms a part hereof. Like numerals refer to like parts in all views of the drawing and throughout the description.
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a plan view of a-sheet of card or box board cut to form the improved partition member;
Fig. 2 is a side view of a longitudinal partition used in combination with the blank of Fig. 1 to form the complete device;
Fig. 3 illustrates the blank of Fig. 1 folded to form the lateral partitions of the improved partition member; and
Fig. 4 illustrates the complete partition member with the longitudinal partitions of Fig. 2. in place therein.
The improved partition member is formed principally from a rectangular sheet of cardboard II! from which a plurality of laterally extending partitions II are cut. The partitions II are formed by cut lines I2 which extend transversally of the sheet I0,.thence turned at right angles at each extremity to form the ends I3 on the partitions, thence inwardly on an incline to a fold line I4, thence outwardly in alignment with the fold line I4 to form pointed brace tabs I5.
The brace tabs I5 are connected to the sheet III by means of fold lines I6 aligned with the end cut lines I3, and at right angles to the fold line I l. The upper edge of each partition II is notched, as shown at ll, for substantially onehalf of its width. 7
Longitudinal partition members IB are formed from elongated strips of cardboard equaling in length the length of the blank II]. The strips I8 are notched along their lower edges at spacedapart intervals, as shown at I9, the notches corresponding in number to the number of lateral partitions I I and being spaced in accordance with the spacing of the fold lines I 4.
The device is erected by a machine or fixture having plungers which press against each of the partition folds I I to force them upwardly at right angles to the plane of the sheet Ill. After the partition folds have been turned to their right angular position, the tabs I5 follow upwardly to an angle of approximately 45 so that the point of each tab will rest against one of the partition folds to prevent the natural resiliency of the material from folding the members II downwardly. The blank then presents the appearance of Fig. 3, with all of the partition folds held in rigid, parallel, vertical, universally spaced alignment.
The longitudinal partition strips I8 are now lowered onto the lateral partitions I I so that the notches I9 will engage in the notches I! to allow the partitions I8 to be forced downwardly to the flush position of Fig. 4, thus completing the assembly.
The completed partition member may be placed in a box for separating confections such as chocolate coated cherries, or it may be simply wrapped in cellophane for supporting and separating cookies and the like.
For elongated merchandise the longitudinal partition strips I8 may be omitted and the merchandise placed between the lateral partitions II of Fig. 3. It has been found that without the tabs I5 it is exceedingly difiicult to place the longitudinal strips IS in place, since each individual lateral partition must be manually fitted into the notches I9. With the tabs, however, the lateral partitions II are held in rigid, upright position so that individual positioning is not,
necessary.
While a specific form of the improvement has been described and illustrated herein, it is to be 1. A partition member for boxes and packages, comprising: a fiat cardboard sheet; a plurality of lateral partitions cut from said sheet at their one side and both extremities and folded upwardly at right angles to said sheet along the other side in spaced-apart, parallel relation along parallel scored lines; and end tabs cut from said lateral partitions and being foldably secured to said sheet at right angle to and at the extremities of said lateral partitions the cut defining one side of a tab being in substantial alignment with the fold line of the partition from which it is cut, said tabs being folded upwardly at an angle to the plane of said sheet so that the edges of the tabs will engage and support said partitions in their upright position.
2. A partition member for boxes and packages, comprising: a fiat cardboard sheet; a plurality of lateral partitions cut from said sheet at their one side and both extremities and folded upwardly at rig-ht angles to said sheet along the-other side in spaced-apart, parallel relation along parallel 'scored lines; and end tabs cut from said lateral partitions and being foldably secured to said sheet at right angles to and at the extremities of said lateral partitions the cut defining one side of a tab being in substantial alignment with the fold line of the partition from which it is out, said tabs extending upwardly from said sheet so that one edge of each tab will engage and support said partitions in their upright position, one side of each tab lying in the vertical plane of a lateral partition,v the other side being inclined outwardly and away from said partition.
3. A partition member for boxes and packages, comprising: a flat cardboard sheet; a plurality of lateralpartitions cut from said sheet at their one side and both extremities and folded upwardly at right angles to said sheet along the other side in spaced-apart, parallel relation along parallel scored lines; end tabs cut from said lateral partitions and being foldably secured to said sheet at right angles to and at the extremities of said lateral partitions the cut. defining one side of a tab being in substantial alignment with the fold line of the partition from which it is cut, said tabs extending upwardly at an angle of substantially 90 to the plane of said sheet and sidewardly at an angle of substantially 90 to the plane of said partitions so that one edge of each tab will'engage and support said partitions in their upright position, each lateral partition being provided with vertical, spaced-apart notches along its upper edge extending through substantially onehalf the width of said partition; and a plurality of longitudinally extending partition strips, each of said latter partition strips being notched at its bottom for a-distance' of substantially one-half its height, said notches corresponding in spacing to the spacing. of said lateral partitions and being in engagement with the latter.
