ABSTRACT:
A new deformable container is disclosed, suitable for use in packaging items of different dimensions. In use, portions of the container are deformed to provide abutments at the interior of the container for fixing therein the relative position of the items of different dimensions. The container is generally rectangular and is made of sheet material, for example, cardboard. In the preferred form, the container is used in conjunction with a detachable cover and with such cover forms a closed rectangular box. When the cover is detached from the container, two pairs of tabs are exposed. These pairs of tabs are located respectively at opposite longitudinal ends of the container. One tab in each pair is coplanar with and hingedly connected to the front wall of the container while the other tab of each pair is hingedly connected to and coplanar with the corresponding side wall of the container. The tabs forming each such pair of tabs are also hingedly connected to one another such that each pair of connected tabs is deformable from its initial position in which the tabs are respectively coplanar with the front wall and the corresponding side wall, into a final position in which the tabs are located in the interior of the container. In such final position each pair of tabs provides both a longitudinal and a transverse abutment at the interior of the container and the abutments thus provided by both pairs of tabs cooperate to position in the interior of the container articles of different size, for example, stacks of envelopes of different lengths.
