Abstract (en)
Dividers for enabling articles such as bottles and bunches of grapes to be shipped in a manner which utilizes space economically comprise blanks of cardboard or like material which have a series of crease lines across them. Some crease lines form valleys when the blanks are folded and others form ridges. In some forms the crease lines converge and diverge in such manner that generally triangular shipping spaces are provided between adjacent ridges. When bottles are to be shipped, the bottles can be arranged in two oppositely arranged series with the necks intermeshed along the centre zone of the box. In another form each of a number of parallel crease lines has a first part which forms a ridge and a second part which forms a valley. A zig-zag crease line (24) which forms a ridge extends transversely of the blank (10). The parallel crease lines change from ridge (16,22) to valley (18,20) at an apex of the zig-zag crease line, and, on each side of the zig-zag crease line, crease lines which form valleys alternate with crease lines that form ridges.
