ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to the field of packing boxes, and more particularly to a box with an insert to support folded ridge cover roofing.
2. Prior Art
Various types of roofing and, in particular, ridge covers, are well known in the prior art. One type of ridge cover is a folded asphalt composition ridge cover that has one end folded over to create a thickened end. An exemplary ridge cover of this type is described in patent application Ser. No. 09/433,810.
The ridge cover is fabricated to have approximately the installed shape. It is necessary to avoid unnecessary flexing of the centerline fold, which forms the ridgeline of the ridge cover, during storage and shipping because flexing promotes cracking along the ridgeline. It is desirable to pack the ridge covers in a manner that facilitates easy handling and unpacking of the ridge covers at the rooftop installation site.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A packaging box having a bottom. A supporting insert resting on the bottom of the packaging box. The supporting insert includes a ridge support, a partition panel, and a tab panel. The ridge support includes two support panels. Each support panel has a first side resting against the bottom of the packaging box, and a second side, opposite the first side, joined along a ridge line substantially above the bottom of the packaging box. The partition panel is substantially perpendicular to the bottom of the packaging box. The partition panel has a third side joined to the first side of one of the support panels. The tab panel is at a substantial angle to the partition panel. The tab panel has a first end joined to the partition panel along a line-parallel to the ridge line.
