7 Claims.
This invention relates to collapsible cellular str-ip type 'partitions for containers, particularly bottle cartons.
Theinvention has for its principal object to provide a partition oi the above type that is strong and durable, simple and economical and may bequickly and easily permanently assembled in collapsed flat compact form for shipment or storage and readily set up for use. Other oh- ,i'ects are to provide for permanently securing the partition strips together without the use of stitching 'or mechanical fasteners, to provide for horizontal ventilation through the bottle-cells and tor jcushicming the bottles therein. The inventien consists in the collapsible striptype ycellulair v:bottle carton partition and in the construction, combinations and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specincation and wherein like sym- 'bols refer to like parts where-ver they occur,

My collapsible cellular bottle separating partition `is, made of eight partition strips of corrugated board, iiberboard or other bend-able material; namely, two counterpart strips A, two counterpart strips B, two counterpart strips C and two counterpart strips D, said strips increasing in length from the strips A to the strips D. All of the partition lstrips are provided with one or .more substantially `:Ew-shaped cross slits I and eut scores 2 extending from the ends `of said slits to the side marginal edges thereof, thereby for-ming counterpart end panels 3 on all of said strips and two -or more intermediate panels 4 o-n the strips B, C and D depending on the length thereof. The reverse loops at the ends of the S-shaped slits I form at the inner ends of scores 2 notches 5 with tongues t snugly fitting therein. As shown in Figs. 1, 9 and l0, 'the end panels 3 -oi all of the kstrips have a notch t and a ton-gue at inner edges that are spaced apart transversely of said strips; and the intermediate panels il have similarly arranged notches and tongues along two 'opposite edges. The number of intermediate panels 4 increases with the increased length 'oi the strips. For a twenty-four bottle partition, the strips B are provided with two intermediate panels, the strips C with fou-r intermediate panels and the strips D with ve intermediate panels.
As shown in Fig. 9, 10 and 11, the above strips are stack-ed or laid iiatwise one on another with the two strips A located one at the top and r'the other at the bottom. The `two strips B are located -one neX-t to each strip A, the two strips C are located one next to each strip B, andthe two strips D are located next to one another and between the two strips C. The strips are offset longitudinally in the stack in the manner shown in Figs. 1, 9, 10 and l1 with their transverse score lines in register vertically. As shown in Fig. 1, the strips of each pair A, B, C and -D are reversed so that the corresponding tongues of adjacent strips extend in opposite directions. With the strips thus arranged, the tongues 6 of each strip are adhesively Vor otherwise permanently secured atwise to the strip or strips in contact therewith, the tongues of each of the intermediate strips B,
VC Vand D being secured in alternation lengthwise rst to one and then to the other of the two Strips in contact with opposite sides thereof.
The collapsed strip type partition above devscribed is adapted to be opened or set up to form a ltwenty-four cell bottle 'partition by pulling in opposite directions on `the two outermost strips A until all o the strips are bent at right angles along each of the score lines thereof, the longer strips B, C and D being bent in zigzag fashion. The strips when bent into such position form three-sided bottle cells or compartments around the four sides o1 the partition and four-sided cells or compartments within the space bounded -by the open-sided marginal cells or compartments. In the set-up position of the collapsible partition, the tongues 6 of all of the strips are not bent but remain in their original planes; that is, in the plane of the body of the strip. Two vertically spaced tongues are located at each corner of each bottle cell or compartment and extend straight from one compartment into another through the notches 5 vacated by the tongues when the strips are bent along the score lines into compartment-forming position.
In the construction shown in Figs. 13, 14 and 15, the cell or compartment-forming panels of the strips are provided with vertical rows of hollow bottle cushioning bosses 'i arranged in two alternating series from top to bottom of the partition, the bosses of one series projecting on one side of the panels and the bosses of the other series projecting on the other sides thereof. The bosses 'i are pressed in the panels from opposite sides thereof and are of the same size and shape so that when the partition is collapsed the bosses of each panel will enter the bosses of the ad- 1 jacent panel in contact therewith, thereby permitting the superimposed strips of the collapsed partition to seat directly one on the other without any space therebetween.
The hereinbeiore described collapsible cellular bottle partition has many important advantages. It is simple and inexpensive and can be readily assembled into compact collapsed form for shipment or storage. The partition may be readily erected merely by pulling endwise in opposite directions on the two outermost strips A, all of the strips being readily bendable along the score lines thereof. The tongues of each strip are permanently secured flatwise to the strips in oontact therewith and lie stiff and straight in the planes of the panels from which they extend and against the panels to which they are connected when the partition is erected, thereby increasing the strength and rigidity of the erected partition and preventing the strips from curling or bowing.
The consruction provides reinforcing, stiifening and connecting tongues at the top and bottom of each corner of each cell or compartment in the set-up partition and the openings formed in the panels by the tongues struck therefrom provide both longitudinal and cross ventilation through the set-up partition. The bosses formed in the panels which form the side walls of the bottle cells or compartments serve as cushions to prevent breakage of the bottles and the nesting of these hollow bosses in the collapsed ypartition enables the strips to lie flatwise against each other and thus hold the thickness of the collapsed partition to a minimum. Another advantage of the present construction is that the S-shaped tongue and Ventilating opening forming slits are mere cuts instead of slots and thus do not produce paper dust which tends to settle in the bottles when they are placed in the compartments oi the partition for illing.
Obviously, the hereinbeiore described bottle partition admits of considerable modication without departing from the invention. Therefore, I do not wish to be limited to the precise construction shown and described.
