  • Patent number: 9120593
    Abstract: A specialized box with integrated dividers is suitable for transporting multiple rectangular products, such as set top boxes. The box is formed of a single sheet of material, scored in six panels so that a leading panel forms a partition around which the other panels are folded and secured, with the final panel partially overlapping the second panel to form a joined side of the box. An insert with two walls, formed of a single sheet of material, can be folded into a rectangular shape and inserted in the box to create walls between the partition and each parallel side of the box. Cushioning pads can be attached to bottom flaps of the box. When flat, multiple boxes can be compactly stored or transported on a pallet. When folded into a cube, the box holds up to four rectangular products in four separate, protected compartments within the box.

  • Patent number: 5823352
    Abstract: A specialized container is ideally suited to protecting electronic boards being transported from injury due to physical shock and electrostatic shock. The container consists of an outer shell and at least one insert. The outer shell and each insert can be made of electrostatic discharge protective corrugated fiberboard material. The outer shell is basically a rectangular prism, suitable for receiving a electronic board with a substantially rectangular base. A first insert is easily placed within the outer shell, consisting of a platform on which the board will rest and at least one resilient and compressible support member extending down from the platform to the bottom panel of the outer shell. To provide further protection for the board, a second insert may be placed on top of the first, with a tab extending downward from the second insert to a slit in the first insert platform. The board then rests on the platform of the second insert.
