  • Patent number: 4709817
    Abstract: A shock protective device for use with a carton for shipping shock sensitive products. The device comprises a foldable padded insert which fits inside the carton. The insert folds over and surrounds the product to be shipped with a first group of interior blocks of shock absorbing material attached to one face thereof. A second group of exterior blocks of shock absorbing material are attached to the opposite face of the insert which hold the insert in place within the carton. The exterior blocks are vertically aligned with the interior blocks when the insert is folded over a product to be shipped to preclude squashing of the device within the carton during shipment. The exterior blocks absorb shock transmitted to the carton and the interior blocks absorb any shock transmitted to the insert within the carton.
