  • Suspension package
    Patent number: 5988387
    Abstract: A suspension package includes upper and lower covers. The covers include oval exterior walls that define oval product-receiving wells. Oval mounting rings are mounted to the covers to support resilient films over the wells. The covers define generally rectangular inner exterior walls that support hinges along a hinge axis. By combining rectangular covers adjacent to hinges with oval covers spaced from the hinges, material costs are reduced and fabrication is simplified.
