ABSTRACT:
A one-piece, relatively thick, resilient corner pad which is used in the packaging of fragile articles. The pad is formed from three identical pieces of resilient material, and assembled so as to form a polyagonal, generally triangular, enrapment in the shape of a truncated, hollow triangular pyramid for the corner of a box or similar container, whereby, when the pad is placed over and around the meeting point of three sides of the container, the container will be spaced and resiliently held within a larger shipping container, without damage from high impact shocks. The unique design cuts costs since only four of such corner pads or cushions are needed -- one each diagonally opposite another. The pads provide excellent dynamic cushioning under heavy static loads. The configuration of each of the three pieces is identical and so designed so that a minimum of raw material is utilized, with no significant waste when the pieces are cut from a sheet. The corner pads may be assembled at the factory into the truncated, hollow, triangular, pyramidal shape, or the individual pieces may be shipped in a more compact form to the customer who can quickly and easily assemble the corner pad on site.
