Abstract: Disclosed herein is a box insert for protecting bottles. The box insert is formed from a piece of cardboard with fold lines. When the cardboard is folded along the lines and a bottle is placed within the cardboard, the bottle's sides are surrounded by cardboard. At least one bottom and top cut am provided through the cardboard across one of the fold lines. When the cardboard is pushed below the bottom cut and above the top cut, the cardboard folds inward to create a bottom and top indentation to hold the bottle away from the bottom and top of the box. If the bottle has a neck, the top indentation is positioned next to the bottle's neck above the body of the bottle. Usually the top indentation is formed from two top cuts. The inserts and bottles are then placed in a box for shipping. The cardboard inserts provide cardboard indentations that cushion and provide a small space between the bottom and top of the box.

Abstract: A fragile article such as an electric lamp having a glass bulb of spherical, paraboloidal or general pear-shaped configuration is protectively packaged by inserting it into snug slip-fitted relationship with an open-ended hexagonal sleeve-like carton of boxboard or other suitable packaging material. Parts of opposing walls of the carton are cut, scored and interconnected to provide a foldable flap assembly that is automatically actuated when the carton is expanded from collapsed condition and is then converted in "snap-like fashion" into a laterally-extending platform that locks the carton in its fully-erected tubular configuration. The platform is provided with a suitable aperture which frictionally grips the basal end portion of the inserted lamp and thus holds the lamp in loaded position within the carton.

Each of the liner-panels has a pair of hinged flaps that swing in opposite directions and are displaced in criss-cross fashion by the bulbous part of the lamp bulb to form a single aperture in the associated liner-panel and a pair of cradle-like structures. The hinged flaps are so shaped and dimensioned that their free ends are pressed against the adjacent walls and diagonally-opposite corners of the carton by the inserted lamp bulb and thus produce buttressing forces which not only counteract the natural tendency of the carton to collapse but lock the carton in its erected form.

Abstract: A paperboard container and blank therefor. The container is in the form of a tube leaving a recessed bottom closure, the closure defined by bottom-forming panels, the bottom closure having an opening frictionally engaging the threaded end of a light bulb. The container top has a plurality of inwardly folding top closure panels, each formed from a hinged pair of panels. The top closure panels exhibit; in one form of the container, a snap action when closed, to thereby further inhibit accidental opening of the top closure prior to intended removal of the light bulb. When the top closure panels are snapped inwardly and downwardly, the upper portion of the container becomes tapered, permitting it to fit into the recessed bottom of a similar container stacked thereon. The ends of top closure panels conform to the shape of the upper end of the light bulb, thus resiliently supporting it at a plurality of angularly spaced points.
