ABSTRACT:
A paperboard partition having particular utility as a partition for spacing and supporting items in a paper bag or any suitable holder is formed from a unitary blank of paperboard. The blank is die cut and provided with a plurality of fold lines. The die cuts define a plurality of locking tabs and also define apertures for receiving the locking tabs when the partition is erected. Two of the panels defined by the fold lines and die cuts are each provided with a spot of glue or other adhesive. Upon initial folding of the blank those panels, termed adhesive panels, which have been provided with glue spots, are attached to corresponding panels. The partition is formed in such a manner that it is collapsed to flat configuration for shipment and/or storage. For use, the user erects the folded partition by unfolding, i.e., spreading several of the panels apart from each other, with the partition then being placed into a paper bag or other holder. The partition defines two diagonally located cells, with each cell having a bottom shelf of at least partial double thickness. Upon erection, the uppermost of each bottom shelf panel becomes latched or locked, by virtue of a locking tab carried thereby becoming engaged with a respective locking aperture.
