| 20100179040 | Non-Disassembling Intersecting Partition Matrix and Method of Manufacture - A collapsible, non-disassembling intersecting partition assembly for insertion into a container divides the space inside the container into individual cells for holding products. The assembly comprises a plurality of first slotted partitions intersecting with a plurality of second slotted partitions to form a collapsible matrix. Each of the first slotted partitions has opposed slots extending inwardly from opposed edges of the partition to facilitate folding the partition. An outer portion or tab of each folded partition is secured to one of the other partitions to prevent disassembly of the matrix. Each of the partitions has hooks and notches to help hold the assembly together. | 07-15-2010 |
| 20100072085 | Dunnage Structure Made With Multiple Ply Partitions - A dunnage structure comprising a partition matrix made up of at least some folded partitions, each of the folded partitions having two plies fused together in select locations. The partitions may be made by folding a partition blank and securing at least one portion of the folded partition blank to itself. Passages extend through portions of the folded partitions to allow multiple partitions to be secured together using connectors extending through the passages. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20100055387 | Strength to Weight Folded Honeycomb Product - A honeycomb product made from a web of material which may be used alone or in a multi-layered material is provided with multiple openings to improve the strength-to-weight ratio of the honeycomb product. When folded into the appropriate shape, the openings through the web of material used to make the honeycomb product may be located on the top or bottom or sides of the cells of the honeycomb product. | 03-04-2010 |
