Carton divider

A carton divider, comprising:

• an elongate body extending, along a longitudinal axis, from a first terminal end to a second terminal end and extending, along a transverse axis, from a terminating distal end to a terminating proximal end;
• one or more adjacent semicylindrical portions, extending substantially parallel to said longitudinal axis, from said first terminal end to said second terminal end, wherein each semicylindrical portion includes a sidewall that extends between opposing terminating sidewall ends, wherein a vertex is formed between said opposing terminating sidewall ends;
• an intermediate recurve portion extending substantially parallel to said longitudinal axis, wherein said intermediate recurve portion joins said terminating sidewall ends of said adjacent semicylindrical portions;
• a first outer recurve portion extending along said terminating sidewall end of an outermost one of said semicylindrical portions, wherein said first outer recurve portion extends between said terminating sidewall end of said outermost one of said semicylindrical portions and said terminating proximal end;
• a second outer recurve portion extending along said terminating sidewall end of one other outermost one of said semicylindrical portions, wherein said second outer recurve portion extends between said terminating sidewall end of said other outermost one of said semicylindrical portions and said terminating distal end;
• a plurality of stabilizing projections, wherein at least two stabilizing projections extend outwardly from each of said semicylindrical portions between said terminating sidewall ends and said vertex of each semicylindrical portion;
• at least one semicylinder slot extending from said vertex toward said first outer recurve portion, said second outer recurve portion, and said intermediate recurve portions, wherein said at least one said semicylinder slot extends to said first outer recurve portion, said second outer recurve portion, and said intermediate recurve portions, and wherein portions of said first outer recurve portion, said second outer recurve portion, and said intermediate recurve portions proximate said semicylinder slot form recurve hinge portions;
• and
• at least one sidewall slot extending through a portion of said outer recurve portions and a portion of said intermediate recurve portions, toward said vertex, wherein said at least one sidewall slot extends through a portion of said sidewalls and through said stabilizing projections but does not extend through portions of said sidewalls proximate each said vertex and between said adjacent stabilizing projections of each of said adjacent semicylindrical portions, and wherein portions of each of said sidewalls proximate each said vertex and between said respective stabilizing projections forms a sidewall hinge portion.

• and
• at least one sidewall slot extending through a portion of said outer recurve portions and a portion of said intermediate recurve portions, toward said vertex, wherein said at least one sidewall slot extends through a portion of said sidewalls but does not extend through portions of said sidewalls proximate each said vertex, and wherein portions of each of said sidewalls proximate each said vertex forms a sidewall hinge portion.
