  • Patent number: 4326633
    Abstract: A container preferably supporting a sealed beam headlight in which a pair of opposite flaps at each end are each provided with a short flap extending partially across each of the original flaps and secured thereto. The short adhesive flaps in turn have a longer flap attached thereto wherein the sum of the lengths of the longer flap and the short adhesive flap is greater than that of the first flap so that when the first flap is folded into closed position, the additional flap connected to the adhesive flap necessarily moves down into a diagonal relationship between the closing flap and the inside of the side wall. This structure is repeated on both sides at both ends. The diagonal flaps cushion the headlight. Each of the diagonal flaps in turn has a further flap which in the closed condition of the container extends along the inside of the side wall.
