Nov. 18, 1969 J. F. SCHILLINGER PARTITIONING MEMBER Filed March 1968 any. 1.
INVENTOR. JOSEPH F SCW/[U/YGER iz A 4 %2 0 4 ATTOF/YEY United States Patent 3,478,947 PARTITIONING MEMBER Joseph F. Schillinger, 5029 SffRidgeway Ave., Chicago, Ill. 60625 Filed Mar. 4, 1968, Ser. No. 710,119 Int. Cl. B65d /04, 25/10 U.S. Cl. 22915 4 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A divider for separating a number of articles in a package. The divider is formed from'a'single piece of material and is cut and scored to form" longitudinal end transverse divider elements within the package.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the invention A device for diving a box into separate compartments.
Description of the prior art A number of patents show dividers of various types. Exemplary of these are the Weiss U.S,- Batents Nos. 3,211,357, 3,232,517, 3,248,036, 3,257,027, and 3,263,893; the Graser U.S. Patents Nos. 3,258,189 and 3,352,473; and the Holmes U.S. Patents Nos. 3,269,636 and 3,339,466.
All but one of these-the Weiss U.S. Patent No. 3,248,036disclose a divider of either single or double thickness construction in which the longitudinal divider element is the outer peripheral section of the body and the transverse divider elements are the central section of the body. The transverse dividers are hinged to the longitudinal divider and bend outwardly from it.
The Weiss U.S. Patent No. 3,248,036 discloses a divider formed from a two-layer blank. The two layers are glued together at spaced intervals. The longitudinal divider is formed by the adhered layers and the transverse dividers are formed by the non-adhered layers. Upon longitudinal compression the transverse dividers bend outwardly.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a divider formed from a single body portion in which the transverse elements form the outer section of the body and the longitudinal divider element forms the central portion of the body. The transverse elements are hinged to the longitudinal portion. The transverse elemnts extend fully to the bottom and top of the contacting portion of the articles. This construction allows the transverse elements to be rotated positively into their transverse position. In prior constructions the elements are pushed into a transverse position but are not held in that position w-hile being inserted between the articles. In this construction the transverse elements can be held positively in the transverse direction while being inserted between the articles.
The present construction also allows economies by the use of less material.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIGURE 1 is a top plan view of the blank. FIGURE 2 is an isometric view of the divider.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The blank 10, preferably rectangular for economic reasons, is divided into a longitudinal divider 11 and two transverse dividers 12 by slits 13 and 14, score line 15, and slits 16. The slits 13 and 14 and the score 3,478,947 Patented Nov. 18, 1969 line 15 define the outer periphery of the longitudinal divider and the inner periphery of the transverse dividers. The inner ends of the two slits 13 and the outer ends of the slits 14 are separated from each other and aligned transversely of the blank so that the score line 15 extending between these outer ends acts as a hinge for pivoting the transverse dividers 12 around the longitudinal divider 11.
The outer transverse dividers 12 are separated from each other by' the slits 16 which extend from the midpoint of the slit 14 and the outer edge of the divider.
Each of the silts 13 defines a truncated triangle in which the inner ends are the narrowest portion and the outer ends define upper and lower sections 18 and 19 which extend between the upper and lower .sections of adjacent articles to hold them apart. The central section of each of the slits 14 extends outwardly to define upper and lower tabs 20 and 21 which also extend between the upper and lower portions of adjacent articles.
The divider may be made from paperboard, although other materials of construction which provide a relatively rigid article may also be used.
I claim:
1. A carton divider which forms a pair of transverse dividers and a longitudinal divider comprising:
a body,
a pair of longitudinal slits in said body, each slit having ends which terminate short of the end of said blank and which are aligned,
said slits defining the outer periphery of the central portion of said longitudinal divider and the inner periphery of a part of said transverse dividers,
a second slit between the ends of said longitudinal slits and the adjacent outer end of said blank, said second slits having ends which are aligned transversely of the blank with the end of said longitudinal slits and with each other, said second slits defining the outer periphery of said longitudinal divider and the inner periphery of said transverse divider,
a third slit extending from said first slits to the adjacent edge of said blank,
a score line extending from each of the ends of said second slits to the adjacent end of said first slits to define hinge joints for said transverse dividers.
2. The article of claim 1 in which said slits define upper and lower article contacting sections on said longitudinal divider.
3. The article of claim 2 in which the ends of said second slits are spaced inwardly of the ends of said first slits.
4. The article of claim 3 in which said second slits define a truncated triangle having its base adjacent the end of said blank.
