- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates generally to packing boxes and file drawers.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Previous packing inserts fall mainly into three classes: those with corner inserts, those which grip the sides of the container and those with inward folding sides: U.S. Pat. No. 0,974,871, PACKING OR SHIPPING BOX (Ferres), FIGS. 8 and 12; U.S. Pat. No. 0,987,958, PACKING OR SHIPPING BOX (Clenny et al.), FIGS. 7, 8 and 9; and U.S. Pat. No. 2,742,219, ACCORDION PLEATED CUSHIONING STRIP (Van Antwerpen). All of the patents with inwardly folding sides have sides which are essentially full height (or length) and are aligned with the other sides rather than offset. They all seem to keep in place through outside pressure rather than a locking mechanism.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,221,973, SPACER PAD (Kalbrener) shows various legs are offset from each other, although they are not opposite each other like the inwardly folding sides of the present invention.
- A packing insert according to the present invention includes a first face, a second face, opposite the first face, a first side support and a second side support. The first side support is flexibly connected at one end to the first face, preferably to one edge, and is flexibly connected at the opposite end to the second face, preferably at one edge. The second side support is flexibly connected at one end to the first face opposite the connection to the first side support, and preferably to the edge of the first face which is opposite the edge connected to the first side support and is flexibly connected at the opposite end to the second face opposite the connection of the first side support, and preferably to the edge of the second face which is opposite the edge connected to the first side support. When not fully extended, the side supports bend inwards between the first face and the second face. In a preferred form, the first face is substantially planar and the second face is substantially planar. The distance between the first substantially planar face and the second substantially planar face is adjusted by changing the angles formed by the first side support and the second side support.
- The first side support and the second side support are in positions with respect to the first face and the second face and each other such that when they are bent inwards between the first face and the second face, the first support member does not interfere with the second support member. In a preferred arrangement, the first side support is flexibly connected to the first face and the second face at a position which is different from that of the second side support, so that when the first side support and the second side support are bent inwards sufficiently far, they pass each other without interfering with each other.
- In one preferred arrangement, the first side support includes a forward support member flexibly connected at one end to one edge of the first face and a rear support member flexibly connected at one end to one edge of the second face. The forward support member and the rear support member are rotatably connected to each other at their ends which are opposite the first face and the second face. Similarly, the second side support includes a forward support member flexibly connected at one end to the edge of the first face which is opposite the edge connected to the first side support and a rear support member flexibly connected at one end to the edge of the second face which is opposite the edge connected to the first side support. The forward support member and the rear support member are rotatably connected to each other at their ends which are opposite the first face and the second face.
- In one arrangement, the first side support further includes a multi-position locking hinge rotatably connecting the forward support member to the rear support member. In a preferred form, the second side support also includes a multi-position locking hinge rotatably connecting the forward support member to the rear support member.
