Patent attributes
A box for shipping bottles has a rectangular floor, generally parallel sides projecting from longitudinal edges of the floor, parallel ends projecting from end edges of the floor and bridging the sides, and a cover fittable over the sides and ends and forming therewith and with the floor a generally closed space. Holders set in a row are each hinged on the floor in the space and are each shiftable transversely toward and away from each of the sides to define bottle-holding spaces with the ends. The holders are of generally identical section but of different longitudinal length. Each holder has a pair of parallel legs having lower edges hinged on the floor and upper edges and a top panel bridging the respective upper edges and hinged thereon. One leg of each pair of legs is substantially shorter than the other leg to impart to the holders a right-trapezoidal shape.
