ABSTRACT:
A shipping protector is provided which is to be disposed between a substantially rectangular article and a shipping container for the article. The article is of the type having a base having four base corners and a top having four top corners, each of which is in substantially vertically spaced relationship with one of the base corners. The protector includes a base support configured to engage the article's base and each of the base corners. The base support has a thickness sufficient to define an upwardly facing surface adjacent each of the base corners. A first top support is provided which is configured to engage two of the top corners and which has a downwardly extending structural section adjacent each of the corners. The structural sections have a length sufficient to allow the lower ends thereof to engage the upwardly facing surface associated with one of the base corners. A second top support, similar to the first, is configured to engage the other two of the top corners and has similarly configured downwardly extending structural sections. As a result, with the base support and the first and second top supports engaging the article to be shipped while in the shipping container, vertical forces applied to the container will be reacted to the top supports and will be transferred through the downwardly extending sections to the base support.
