Abstract
An elongated packing container is intended to receive tools and other objects. In order to avoid damage to these objects upon dropping and falling of the container on the ground, a cushioning arrangement is arranged at the point of the container. The cushioning arrangement lends some play in terms of elastic movement to the side walls opening out in the point of the container, when the object in the container with its mass acceleration causes force to impact on the side walls of the container. This arrangement avoids the object's penetrating the point of the container and becoming damaged.

An elongated packing container for receiving a pointed, elongated object, said container comprising:
- a peripheral wall that defines an internal chamber, said internal chamber having one closed end that is formed by converging walls that intersect at a point, said internal chamber also having one open end that is located oppositely from said closed end, such that when the elongated object is received in the internal chamber of said container, said object cooperates with said container to define a gap between the elongated object and the surface of the internal chamber of said container;
- a plugging member for sealing the open end of said internal chamber;
- and
- at least one rib that is connected to the external surfaces of the converging walls of the container, said rib providing the converging walls with outwardly directed flexibility.
An elongated packing container for receiving a pointed, elongated object, said container comprising:
- a peripheral wall;
- a base wall having side constricted areas that connect the base wall to the peripheral wall of the container, said base wall cooperating with said peripheral wall to define an internal chamber having one closed end that is formed by the base wall, said internal chamber also having one open end that is located oppositely from said closed end, such that when the elongated object is received in the internal chamber, said object cooperates with said container to define a gap between the elongated object and the surface of the internal chamber, the constricted areas of said base wall allowing elastic movement of said base wall with respect to said peripheral wall;
- and
- a plugging member for sealing the open end of said internal chamber.
