ABSTRACT:
Resiliently expandable sleeves to locate and protectively separate from each other bottles or other articles placed vertically in a container are each comprised of at least three side walls connected to each other at their adjacent edges, each said side wall being tapered from the width at its upper edge to a lesser width at its lower end, the dimensions of the opening at the top of each said sleeve formed by said upper edges being designed to provide free entry of said article into said tapered sleeve, with further insertion of said article into said sleeve causing each of said side walls to be resiliently deflected outwardly, thereby to create a grasping pressure over the area of contact between the outer surface of said article, and the inner surface of each of said side walls.
