Abstract
A fragile article such as an electric lamp having a glass bulb of spherical, paraboloidal or general pear-shaped configuration is protectively packaged by inserting it into snug slip-fitted relationship with an open-ended hexagonal sleeve-like carton of boxboard or other suitable packaging material. Parts of opposing walls of the carton are cut, scored and interconnected to provide a foldable flap assembly that is automatically actuated when the carton is expanded from collapsed condition and is then converted in 'snap-like fashion' into a laterally-extending platform that locks the carton in its fully-erected tubular configuration. The platform is provided with a suitable aperture which frictionally grips the basal end portion of the inserted lamp and thus holds the lamp in loaded position within the carton. The unique snap-locking flap assembly accordingly not only serves as an integral article-retaining and bracing means for the carton which greatly facilitates the setting-up and carton-loading operations but provides window openings which attractively display the packaged lamp.
