ABSTRACT:
A basket filler, blank for making same, and a method of making same include an elongated body member formed of flexible and yet resilient material, shaped and preformed so that the body member has arcuate edges along the long sides thereof, one end of the body member being provided with a plurality of spaced stepped shoulders with each stepped shoulder being provided with one or more slots, the other end of the elongated member provided with projections for engagement during assembly of them with the stepped shoulder slots, and tabs provided by slits cut into the body member from the longer arcuate edge of the body member. During the process of assembly of the basket filler blank, the desired diameter of the filler is ascertained from measurement of a basket with which the filler is to be used, and then the appropriate stepped shoulder selected for receiving the projections through the slots thereof. The projections then are bent over to secure the basket filler blank in the desired finished adjusted position. The support tabs are bent outwardly at a desired angle for supportive engagement of the filler upon a basket. A number of embodiments of the angles and shape of the support tabs are disclosed.
