  • Suspended load container
    Patent number: 4903827
    Abstract: A container for packaging fragile articles such as vials in a suspended state between two flexible membranes. An absorbent material is placed in compartments for the vials and is in fluid communication with the vials in case of breakage and spillage of fluid therefrom. In a preferred embodiment, the absorbent material extends upwardly along a compartment wall so as to be in close communication with one of the membranes. This affords a faster wicking action even if spillage should occur when the container is upside-down.
