Abstract

Abstract A container for packaging a plurality of tape rolls and having two ends and walls therebetween is provided with two inserts which form at least one sturdy, adjustable beam for supporting the tape rolls away from the walls of the container. Each insert comprises a planar base for fitting in close contact with an end of the container and a planar elongated projection extending into the container from a central portion of the base and in a plane essentially perpendicular thereto. When the two inserts are fitted against each end of the container, their projections overlie each other and form the supporting beam. Each insert may be inexpensively provided in the form of a set up, one piece, planar blank comprising a base portion and at least one co-planar projection extending longitudinally therefrom, the blank being provided with through cuts and bending scores whereby the projection may be rotated out of the plane of the base to form the insert of this invention.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 101 words
In a container for tape rolls, having two ends and walls therebetween: two essentially identical inserts, each comprising a base for fitting in close contact with an end of the container; and each insert further comprising at least one central, elongated, planar projection, longitudinally extending in a plane essentially perpendicular to the plane of the base and into the container for a distance of more than one-half the distance between said ends; said projections overlying each other for at least a portion of their length to form at least one sturdy, adjustable beam for supporting said column of said tape rolls.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 101 words
In a container for tape rolls, having two ends and walls therebetween: two essentially identical inserts, each comprising a base for fitting in close contact with an end of the container; and each insert further comprising at least one central, elongated, planar projection, longitudinally extending in a plane essentially perpendicular to the plane of the base and into the container for a distance of more than one-half the distance between said ends; said projections overlying each other for at least a portion of their length to form at least one sturdy, adjustable beam for supporting said column of said tape rolls.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 18 words
The container of claim 1, wherein the planes of the overlying projections are essentially parallel to one another.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 18 words
The container of claim 1, wherein the planes of the overlying projections are essentially perpendicular to one another.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 114 words
The container of claim 1, wherein each insert is set up from a one piece planar blank, said blank comprising: the base; at least one elongated planar projection, co-planar with the base and having edges extending longitudinally thereform; through cuts in said base beginning at the junction of each projection and the base, extending therefrom into said base collinearly with each longitudinally extending edge of the projection, and terminating in a central portion of the base; and a bending score joining the two terminals of the through cuts extending from each of the projections whereby the projections may be rotated out of the plane of the base and extend from a central position thereof.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 28 words
The container of claim 4, wherein each insert is set up from a blank having at least two projections extending from the base oriented parallel to one another.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 28 words
The container of claim 4, wherein each insert is set up from a blank having at least two projections extending from the base oriented perpendicular to one another.
