  • Patent number: 6592309
    Abstract: A new and improved packaging clip comprising alternating upward and downward U-channels for receiving the upstanding flat-edged end boards of industrial-sized textile rolls stacked on a pallet for shipping purposes. The new clip is a single, stamped galvanized metal piece having three distinct U-channels aligned longitudinally and having a common middle support portion. The outer channels are open in a direction opposite that of the middle channel. The outer channels also each receive a single end board. The middle channel receives generally equal amounts of the edges of two end boards placed adjacent to each other on a pallet. The outer channels each receive the edge of one of two adjacently placed end boards, each outer channel being capable of gripping the end board received therein in the event that the fit therein is too loose. This new and improved U-channel packaging clip maintains the alignment of flat-edged end boards stacked 2×2. Each of the channels has rounded corners for safety.
