Abstract
A partition for utilization in a container to provide appropriate support for bottles, jugs or containers which may be fragile, wherein the partition is formed from a single planar blank having a central opening and a first pair of partition walls foldably connected to each other on one side of the opening. A second pair of partition walls are foldably connected to each other on the other side of the opening. The opening is partially bounded by parallel longitudinal edges of the opening, with each of these opening edges being provided by aligned edges of a pair of the partitions. The blank is foldable, with the partition walls being folded back on the order of 90.degree. with respect to each other as the said walls are folded toward each other so that the fold line connections between the two sets of walls meet and the partitions extend at angles to each other. The partition structure, when inserted into a container, provides partition walls which do not readily rotate with respect to each other and therefore do not interfere with automatic loading devices. The opening in the blank between the walls is provided with extensions into the opening and extensions exterior of the partition structure to provide a support and base for the partition when it is folded up from the blank and inserted into the container.
