Paperboard storage container

A container formed from a paperboard blank, said container having a bottom and rectangularly disposed walls including oppositely spaced side and end walls upstanding from said bottom, said bottom and said rectangularly disposed walls being formed of multiple layers, comprising:

• a pair of side wall panels foldably connected in alternating disposition between three end wall panels placing an endmost of said end wall panels in overlapping registry with the other endmost of said end wall panels;
• a bottom panel foldably connected to bottom edge of said side wall panel adjacent said other endmost end wall panel and carrying at one end a foldably connected spacer panel and at its other end a foldably connected liner panel which are interposed between said registering end wall panels and line the opposed end wall panel respectively when said bottom panel is angularly offset with respect to said side wall panel and closes the bottom of said container;
• a bottom liner panel foldably connected to the bottom of said other side wall panel and overlying said bottom panel for lining said bottom panel;
• each of said side wall panels having an upper edge foldably connecting a side wall liner panel which lines the interior of the respective of said side wall panels;
• a locking tab foldably connected to a bottom edge of said one endmost end wall panel;
• and
• means forming a slot on a fold line between said bottom panel and said spacer panel, said slot receiving said locking tab for locking said container in an assembled condition.

• a bottom panel foldably connected to a bottom edge of a sidewall panel adjacent said other endmost end wall panel and carrying at one end a foldably connected spacer panel and at its other end a foldably connected liner panel, said spacer panel being interposed between said registering end wall panels and said liner panel registering with said one endmost endwall panel to line the opposed end wall panels, respectively, with said bottom panel folded to close the bottom of said container;
• a bottom liner panel foldably connected to the bottom of other side wall panel to line said bottom panel;
• each of said side wall panels having an upper edge foldably connecting a side wall liner panel which lines the interior of the respective of said side wall panels;
• a cover panel foldably connected to the upper edge of one of said end wall panels forming a pivotable closure;
• a locking tab foldably connected to a bottom edge of said one endmost end wall panel;
• means forming a slot on a fold line between said bottom panel and said spacer panel, said slot receiving said locking tab for locking said container in an assembled condition;
• and
• a generally H-shaped member forming a partition disposed within said container, said member comprising a paperboard panel folded along a medial fold line and having its parallel ends formed by portions offset in opposite directions from the planes of said folded panel forming flexible flanges effective to bias said partition tightly between said container end walls.
