Packaging system

A packaging system for packaging an object having a perimetral array of vertical corners defined by planar intersecting outer surfaces, said packaging system comprising:

• bottom cap having upwardly directed corner retaining portions having angularly extending portions corresponding to the angular intersection of said object outer surfaces;
• a top cap having downwardly directed corner retaining portions having angularly extending portions corresponding to the angular intersection of said object outer surfaces;
• corner angles having bottom ends engaging said bottom cap retaining portions and top ends engaging said top cap retaining portions, said corner angles defining a pair of flat portions defining an effectively inextensible corner portion and a pair of thin wall corrugated legs extending extensibly outwardly from the flat corner portions and having free ends, the corrugations of said angle legs defining a plurality of planar inner surfaces for facially engaging the cap inner walls and each side of the object corners and a plurality of planar outer surfaces facially engaging the cap outer walls, whereby said corrugated legs may expand away from and contract toward said corner portion as a result of shock forces applied to and removed from the outer surfaces;
• and
• a wrapper extending about the assembled object, caps and corner angles for maintaining the same as a packaged assembly with said object fixedly retained therein.

A packaging system for packaging an object having a perimetral array of vertical corners defined by planar intersecting outer surfaces, said packaging system comprising:

• a bottom cap;
• a top cap;
• a plurality of corner angles each having bottom ends retained by said bottom cap and top ends retained by said top cap, each of said corner angles defining a pair of flat portions defining an effectively inextensible corner portion and a pair of thin wall corrugated legs extending extensibly outwardly from the flat corner portions and having free ends, the corrugations of said angle legs defining a plurality of inner surfaces for facially engaging each side of the object corner embraced by the corner angle and said flat portion of the corner angles respectively extending substantially parallel to said side, whereby said corrugated legs may expand away from and contract toward said corner portions as a result of inwardly acting shock forces applied to and removed from the legs;
• and
• means for maintaining said bottom cap top cap and corner angles as an assembly for packaging said object fixedly therein.
