Abstract
The present apparatus and system relate to a structure for housing and containing products together and protecting products within a container from agitation and blunt force trauma. A resilient plug is adapted to fit within a container and contact a product housed within the container. When the container exhibits forces from movement, the plug dampens the impact of the movement by steadying the product within the container. Multiple containers may be mixed and matched and held together with a bundler that allows for easy insertion of the containers into the bundler but more difficult removal from the bundler.
Claims20
A packaging system comprising:
- A dome formed of a resilient material and having a convex surface;
- A tab connected to the dome;
- A shaft having a proximal end connected to the convex surface of the dome and distal end separated from the dome by a length of the shaft.
A packaging system comprising:
- A plug comprising:
- A dome having a convex surface and a concave surface opposite the convex surface and terminating at a rim, wherein the rim defines a cross-sectional shape of the dome;
- A tab connected to the concave surface;
- A shaft having a proximal end connected to the convex surface of the dome and distal end separated from the dome by a length of the shaft, wherein the dome, tab, and shaft are integrally formed together of the same resilient material;
- A container having an inner wall defining a cavity and at least one opening providing access to the cavity;
- A cross-section of the container at the at least one opening defining an opening shape, the cross-sectional shape of the dome and the opening shape are the same shape, and the cross-sectional shape of the dome and the opening shape have differing dimensions;
- Wherein the plug is adapted to fit within the cavity and engage the container such that the engagement alone allows the plug to remain within the cavity regardless of the orientation of the container.
