Abstract:

A paperboard partition having particular utility as a partition for spacing and supporting items in a paper bag or any suitable holder is formed from a unitary blank of paperboard. The blank is die cut and provided with a plurality of fold lines. The die cuts define a plurality of locking tabs and also define apertures for receiving the locking tabs when the partition is erected. Two of the panels defined by the fold lines and die cuts are each provided with a spot of glue or other adhesive. Upon initial folding of the blank those panels, termed adhesive panels, which have been provided with glue spots, are attached to corresponding panels. The partition is formed in such a manner that it is collapsed to flat configuration for shipment and/or storage. For use, the user erects the folded partition by unfolding, i. e. , spreading several of the panels apart from each other, with the partition then being placed into a paper bag or other holder.

Abstract:

A paperboard article carrier suitable for modular construction. The complete carrier is adapted to carry four cans or bottles (a four pack) and is formed by assembling two identical two pack article carriers. The two pack article carriers are each formed of a single blank of paperboard which is folded and glued. Each two pack carrier includes a lower basket like portion and an upper, centrally positioned, handle fashioned from two layers of paperboard. One portion of each handle contains a pair of projecting friction latch tabs. The lower or basket portion of each two pack carrier is provided with a latching tongue and a latching recess, the tongue and recess of each being positioned at opposite ends of the basket. Each carrier may be separately employed as a two pack carrier. If desired, the carriers may be assembled to form a four pack carrier by placing the latching tongues into respective latching slots and by securing the friction latching tabs of the handle portions together.
