  • Patent number: 3987736
    Abstract: A reusable dunnage device which cushions goods from normal shocks during transit and withstands extreme impacts without damage. A pair of elongate boards are disposed adjacent an elongate, flexible, inflatable rubber tube on opposite sides thereof and this combination is placed vertically between parcels of goods. The boards and tube are held together and protected by an elongate canvass sack having a center pocket for receiving the tube and two side pockets for receiving the respective boards. The width of the tube when filled with air is greater than the width of the boards so that the device may be placed against the parcels of goods with the center, tubular portion of the sack abutting the parcels while the outer, board portions of the sack are disposed a distance away from the parcels.
