ABSTRACT:
A floating corner for insertion into an outer packing container to protect an object carried in an inner container, the corner comprising a square sheet having opposed first and second edges and opposed third and fourth edges arranged so that a line bisecting the first and second edges defines a first reference line and a line passing through the third and fourth edges normal to the first reference line defines a second reference line, the sheet including a slot extending along the second reference line from the third edge to the first reference line, the lines forming the sheet into first, second, third and fourth sections, each having a respective opening, the sheet being folded about the first and second lines into a generally corner configuration with the first section overlaying the second section and with the respective first and second openings in alignment, and first, second, and third blocks, each comprised of a firm, spongy, resilient material and having opposed first and second surfaces and a sidewall, the first block being disposed through the aligned first and second openings, the second block being disposed through the third opening and the third block being disposed through the fourth opening such that the first surfaces are adapted to contact the adjacent walls of an outer container and the second surfaces are adapted to contact adjacent surfaces of an inner container, the resilient material urging the sidewalls into engagement with the respective openings so as to secure the blocks to the sheet, whereby the blocks serve to absorb energy transmitted through the outer container and protect an object when it is carried in the inner container.
