Abstract
Abstract A sheet of paperboard is cut and creased to provide a center section and a pair of side sections which are intersected by a plurality of lines of fold dividing the sheet into center panels and side panels. Pairs of center panels are folded up into face contact to form central dividers. Opposed side panels are folded into face contact to provide side dividers extending outwardly from the upwardly folded remaining side panels.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
162 words
A partition member including: a substantially rectangular sheet cut and creased along a pair of lines parallel to two opposed sheet edges to divide the sheet into a center section and two opposed side sections, a series of fold lines intersecting said pair of lines and parallel to the remaining opposed sheet edges, dividing said sheet into a series of foldably connected center panels and two series of foldably connected side panels, fold lines connecting each third center panel with each third adjoining side panels and cut lines separating the intermediate two center panels from the adjoining intermediate side panels, said last named fold lines and cut lines forming said pair of lines, the side panels connected to said third center panels extending upwardly in generally parallel relation from said third center panels, said intermediate two center panels extending upwardly from said third center panels in substantial face contact and said intermediate side panels extending outwardly from said third side wall panels.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
162 words
A partition member including: a substantially rectangular sheet cut and creased along a pair of lines parallel to two opposed sheet edges to divide the sheet into a center section and two opposed side sections, a series of fold lines intersecting said pair of lines and parallel to the remaining opposed sheet edges, dividing said sheet into a series of foldably connected center panels and two series of foldably connected side panels, fold lines connecting each third center panel with each third adjoining side panels and cut lines separating the intermediate two center panels from the adjoining intermediate side panels, said last named fold lines and cut lines forming said pair of lines, the side panels connected to said third center panels extending upwardly in generally parallel relation from said third center panels, said intermediate two center panels extending upwardly from said third center panels in substantial face contact and said intermediate side panels extending outwardly from said third side wall panels.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
The structure of claim 1, and in which the fold lines extending across said sheet are equally spaced.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
The structure of claim 1, and in which the end fold lines of said series are spaced from the edges of said sheet to which they are parallel a distance substantially equal to the distance between said fold lines.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
The structure of claim 1, and in which the center panels between the parallel fold lines and the edges of the sheet to which they are parallel form two of said third center panels.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
160 words
A partition member including: a substantially rectangular sheet, cut and creased along a pair of parallel lines parallel to two opposed sheet edges to provide a center section and opposed side sections, three fold lines intersecting said pair of lines and parallel to the remaining two opposed sheet edges, dividing the sheet into foldably connected center panels and foldable connected side panels the pair of lines being cut between the first and third fold lines to permit the individual folding of the center panels and of the side panels on either side of the second fold line. three additional fold lines intersecting said pair of lines and dividing the sheet into additional center panels and side panels, the pair of lines being cut between the first and third fold lines of said second pair to permit the individual folding of the center panels and side panels on either side of the second fold line of said three additional fold lines.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
160 words
A partition member including: a substantially rectangular sheet, cut and creased along a pair of parallel lines parallel to two opposed sheet edges to provide a center section and opposed side sections, three fold lines intersecting said pair of lines and parallel to the remaining two opposed sheet edges, dividing the sheet into foldably connected center panels and foldable connected side panels the pair of lines being cut between the first and third fold lines to permit the individual folding of the center panels and of the side panels on either side of the second fold line. three additional fold lines intersecting said pair of lines and dividing the sheet into additional center panels and side panels, the pair of lines being cut between the first and third fold lines of said second pair to permit the individual folding of the center panels and side panels on either side of the second fold line of said three additional fold lines.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
15 words
The structure of claim 5, and in which said fold lines are substantially equally spaced.
