  • Patent number: 7494014
    Abstract: A container for shipping hazardous solid materials, such as dry cell batteries, has a rigid outer housing formed of a corrugated fiberboard material with an interior plastic liner. A plurality of different size dividers are placed in a vertical stacked relationship within the liner and storage chamber formed by the housing and are separated by flat planar partitions. The dividers form a plurality of individual storage compartments of various sizes for individually holding various size batteries for shipment. The dividers have various heights so that when combined with intervening partitions have a height generally equal to the height of the internal storage chamber.
