  • Patent number: 4972948
    Abstract: A sleeve for packaging a set of golf balls to create separable modules, each housing an individual ball. The sleeve is formed from a single rectangular cardboard blank divided into equal sections by transverse lines of perforations extending between opposing edges of the blank and passing through the diameters of upper and lower circles scored in the blank, the diameters being slit. Scored in opposing ends of the blank are upper and lower semicircles whose diameters are a respective end. The golf balls in the set are placed at the centers of the sections and the blank is wrapped thereabout and edge-sealed to define a cylindrical sleeve. The semicircular regions defined by the slit circles and the semicircles on the blank are pressed in to create modules in each of which a ball is trapped. Each module is separable from the sleeve at the perforated line. When so separated, the module is open-ended and the ball may be extracted therefrom by pushing it out of the module with a finger.
