Abstract: A bottle-carton divider is formed by interlocking partitions each having a laterally projecting tab located along the length of, and extending into the half-height vertical slot of the partition by which the interlock with a cross-partition is effected. A tab-receiving opening is formed in each partition having an edge at a location spaced below but in alignment with an edge of the vertical slot. When the divider is assembled, the locking tab on any partition engages and overlaps the referred to edge of the tab-receiving opening of the interlocking partition, producing a pair of oppositely-directed abutment interfaces which restrain the locking tabs against disengagement in both directions, and in both the opened condition and one of the two possible collapsed conditions of the divider.

Abstract: A bottle-carton divider is formed by interlocking cross-partitions each having a laterally projecting tab located along the length of, and extending into the half-height vertical slot of the partition by which the interlock with a cross-partition is effected. A tab-receiving opening is formed in each partition having an edge at a location spaced below but in alignment with the referred to vertical slot. The shapes, comparative sizes, and other relationships between the vertical slot, the tab, and the tab-receiving opening formed in any partition are such that, when the divider is assembled, the locking tab on any partition engages and overlaps the referred to edge of the tab-receiving opening of the adjacent, interlocked partition, producing a pair of oppositely-directed abutment interfaces which restrain the locking tabs against disengagement in both directions along the line of intersection between the two, both in the opened condition and in the collapsed condition of the divider.
