  • Each flap l2 and 13 is connected with its associated inner wall 8 or 9 only along a line 12a and 13a, respectively forming the upper truncated end of the ellipse, the connection of the flap with the inner wall being made at the upper portion of the inner wall.
  • the lower truncated end of the ellipse is situated near the edges 14 and 15, respectively between the inner walls 8 and 9 and their folded end portions 8a and 9a, respectively.
  • the lines 12a and 13a are formed as folding lines, so that the flaps 12 and 13 can be forced out of the plane of the associated inner walls 8 and 9, respectively.
  • the individual compartments 10 are formed by forcing the flaps l2 and 13 out of the plane of the inner walls 12, 13 in the direction towards the corresponding sidewalls 4 and 5, respectively.
  • the flaps l2 and 13 when forced out of the plane of the inner walls, extend from the folding lines 12a, 13a at the upper portion of the inner walls downwardly until near the bottom wall 1 and form the sidewalls of the individual compartments. 7
  • the folded sections 8a and 9a of both inner walls 8 and 9, respectively, are provided with three flaps l6 and 17, respectively which extend beyond the edges 14 and 15,
  • the flaps 16 of the wall sections 8a are longitudinally displaced with respect to the flaps 17 of the wall sections 9a and extend oppositely to each other. They are integral with the respective wall sections 8a and 9a and are situated in the same plane with these wall sections.
  • the flaps l6 and 17 are cut out from the respective inner walls 8 and 9, and more particularly form the lower portion of a flap 12 and 13, respectively.
  • the flaps 16 and 17 are turned out of the plane of the inner walls together with the end sections (FIG. 4).
  • the flaps 16 of the folded section 8a extend through the lower portion of the opposite opening adjacent the edge 15 in the inner wall 9, this opening having been formed after forcing the flap 13 out of this wall, towards the sidewall 5; the flaps 16 are then supported on the bent over end section 9a and penetrate underneath the flap 12 of the inner wall 8.
  • the flaps 17 of the bent over end sections 9a extend towards the sidewall 4 and penetrate underneath the flap 12 of the inner wall 8 (FIG. 2).

  • the packing is formed from a onepiece blank.
  • This blank as shown in FIG. 3 is of rectangular shape and is subdivided by a plurality of parallel folding lines into a plurality of sections which each form one of the walls of the packing. Accordingly, the different sections of the blank are designated by the same reference numbers as the corresponding walls of the packing. Also the different folding lines and the portions of the blank destined to form the flaps and in part defined by cutting lines are provided with the same reference numbers as the corresponding edges and flaps of the packing.
  • the sections 8 and 9 of the blank forming the inner walls are folded inwardly towards the central portion 1 thereof. Then the sections 8a and 9a are downwardly folded, whereby the flaps 16 and 17 integral therewith are bent out of the planes of the inner walls 8 and 9.
  • the sections 4 and 5 forming the sidewalls are also folded towards the middle portion 1 and are thereby brought into upstanding position.
  • the bent over sections 8a and 9a are moved towards the bottom 1 until they rest on the bottom when the sidewalls are fully erected.
  • the flaps l6, 17 then act against the flaps l3 and 12, respectively, and force them out of the plane of the inner walls 9 and 8, respectively towards the sidewalls 5 and 4 (FIG. 4).
  • the flaps l6 and 17 eventually are pressed against the bottom 1 and arrive into their final position in which they are situated below the lower edges of the flaps 13 and 12, respectively.
  • the invention provides a simple package which can be'easily produced without requiring any complicated tools for making the blank or for erecting the package.
  • the blank is of rectangular shape and all flaps are formed by only partially cut out portions of the blank, no waste of material is produced.
  • the simple, prism-shaped packing enables the best possible utilization of space for shipping as well as for storage of the packingsv
  • the packing is made from stiff cardboard
  • the upper edges extending above the compartments for the goods to be packed, and the edges of the end faces offer a sufficient protection of the packed goods.
  • the shape of the compactments is adapted to the shape of the goods to be packed, so that falling out of the goods from the compartments is prevented.
