Partition structure

A self-erecting structure, formed of a unitary blank of foldable paperboard or the like, for forming three cells within an outer shipping container or wrapper, comprising:

• (a) a bottom center panel;
• (b) a pair of opposed side panels foldably joined at their lower edges to opposed side edges of said center panel and upstanding therefrom;
• (c) opposed pairs of inner end panels foldably joined at their inboard edges to end edges of related side panels and extending outboardly therefrom and normal thereto;
• (d) a pair of opposed outer end panels extending upwardly from end edges of said center panel outwardly adjacent related inner end panels;
• (e) each of said outer end panels having opposed lower edges separated from related inner end panels and having opposed upper edges joined to related inner end panels along fold lines which diverge upwardly to facilitate automatic folding of said structure into erected position.

A unitary blank of foldable paperboard or the like, cut and scored to provide a partition structure for forming three cells within an outer shipping container or wrapper, comprising:

• (a) a bottom center panel;
• (b) a pair of opposed side panels foldably joined at corresponding edges to opposed side edges of said center panel;
• (c) opposed pairs of inner end panels foldably joined at their inner edges to end edges of related side panels;
• (d) a pair of opposed outer end panels foldably joined at their inner edges to related end edges of said center panel between related inner end panels;
• (e) each of said outer end panels having first edges separated from related inner end panels and having second edges joined to related inner end panels along fold lines which diverge outwardly from said first edges to facilitate automatic folding of said structure into erected position.

A self-erecting structure, formed of a unitary blank of foldable paperboard or the like, for forming three cells within an outer shipping container or wrapper, comprising:

• (a) a pair of opposed side panels spaced from each other in parallel relation;
• (b) opposed pairs of inner end panels foldably joined at their inboard edges to end edges of related side panels and extending outboardly therefrom and normal thereto;
• (c) a pair of opposed outer end panels disposed outwardly adjacent related inner end panels;
• (d) each of said outer end panels having opposed lower edges separated from related inner end panels and having opposed upper edges joined to related inner end panels along fold lines which diverge upwardly to facilitate automatic folding of said structure into erected position.

• (c) a pair of opposed outer end panels, each being disposed between a pair of related inner end panels;
• (d) each of said outer end panels having first edges separated from related inner end panels and having second edges joined to related inner end panels along fold lines which diverge outwardly from said first edges to facilitate automatic folding of said structure into erected position.
