  • Patent number: 3930579
    Abstract: An improved multipack container is provided for accommodating a plurality of cathode ray tubes during transportation and storage. The altered construction includes basic top and bottom rigid closure members formed of flame retardant plastic material. Positioned peripherally therebetween are two substantially U-shaped edge-oriented areal support members, such being opposingly located between the superjacently related ledges of the respective closure members. Since the forward portions of the U-shaped supports do not meet, a beneficial window opening is provided on either side of the multipack structure. Internal supportive and protective structural means are predeterminately located between the closures in a manner spaced from the peripheral support members. Upon assembly of the multipack container and placement of the tubes therein, a tight covering of plastic material is applied to contiguously encompass the complete multipack to provide a unitized assemblage.
