ABSTRACT:
An article-container adapter is provided to restrain an article from moving inside a container that has sidewalls which define an interior space larger than the article. The adapter has a base, configured to fit snugly inside the container, and a plurality of projections disposed on the base and spaced from each other to receive the article snugly therebetween. The base includes a floor panel having perimetric edge portions engageable with the container sidewalls; and the projections extend upwardly from the floor panel with article-confining surfaces perpendicular thereto. The base may also include outer wall sections extending upwardly from the floor panel perimetric edge portions to engage the container sidewalls; and the projections may then extend inwardly from the outer wall sections to position their article-confining surfaces for engagement by the inserted article. The base may further include a flange extending outwardly from an upper end portion of each outer wall section. Both the base and the projections may be integrally formed as a one-piece plastic insert for packaging various articles in standard-size containers.
