Abstract
A partition support assembly for a canister assembly generally includes at least one inner support ring configured to support one or more partitions for dividing the interior of the canister assembly for packaging contents to be received within the canister assembly, wherein the one or more partitions are configurable in a plurality of packaging orientations. A canister assembly and a method for containing packaging contents are also provided.
Claims20
A canister assembly, comprising:
- (a) a substantially cylindrical outer wall;
- (b) a substantially cylindrical inner wall disposed within the outer wall;
- and
- (c) at least one inner substantially circular support ring disposed within the inner wall, wherein the one inner support ring includes a plurality of radially oriented notches;
- and
- (d) a plurality of first and second partitions for dividing the interior of the canister assembly into first and second distinct packaging orientations for packaging contents to be received within the canister assembly, wherein the plurality of first partitions are receivable in the plurality of radially oriented notches in the first substantially radial packaging orientation and wherein the plurality of second partitions are receivable in the radially oriented notches in the second substantially parallel packaging orientation.
A partition support assembly for a substantially cylindrical canister assembly, comprising:
- (a) at least one substantially circular support ring configured to support at least one partition for dividing the interior of the partition support assembly for packaging irradiated hardware, wherein the inner support ring includes a plurality of radially oriented notches;
- and
- (b) a plurality of first and second partitions for configuring the interior of the canister assembly into first and second distinct packaging orientations for packaging contents to be received within the canister assembly, wherein the plurality of first partitions are receivable in the radially oriented notches in the first substantially radial packaging orientation and wherein the plurality of second partitions are receivable in the plurality of radially oriented notches in the second substantially parallel packaging orientation.
A canister assembly, comprising:
- (a) a substantially cylindrical outer wall;
- (b) a substantially cylindrical inner wall disposed within the outer wall;
- and
- (c) at least one inner substantially circular support ring disposed within the inner wall, wherein the inner support ring includes a plurality of parallel oriented notches around the circumference of the support ring;
- and
- (d) a plurality of partitions for dividing the interior of the canister assembly for packaging contents to be received within the canister assembly, wherein the partitions are configurable in the plurality of parallel oriented notches in substantially parallel packaging orientations.
A canister assembly, comprising:
- (a) a substantially cylindrical outer wall;
- (b) a substantially cylindrical inner wall disposed within the outer wall;
- and
- (c) at least one inner substantially circular support ring disposed within the inner wall, wherein the inner support ring includes a plurality of radially notches around the circumference of the support ring;
- and
- (d) a plurality of partitions for dividing the interior of the canister assembly for packaging contents to be received within the canister assembly in a substantially parallel packaging orientation, wherein the plurality of partitions have a length and ends extending from the length that are bent relative to the direction of the length.
