ABSTRACT:
A shipping unit is provided for accommodating a relatively heavy product such as a non-riding mower with a handle therefor in a collapsed mode. The unit includes an outer container of corrugated fibreboard material in which the mower is disposed. The outer container includes a bottom section subtending the accommodated mower; side sections extending upright from the periphery of the bottom section and substantially embracing the accommodated mower; and closure members disposed at upper portions of the side sections and overlying the accommodated mower. Disposed within the container and supportingly engaged by the container bottom section is a base pad. The pad has a surface thereof provided with a plurality of relatively spaced wheel wells in which the wheels of the accommodated mower are disposed. Also positioned within the outer container is an inner packing of unitary construction for stabilizing the accommodated mower. The inner packing includes a central segment in spaced overlying relation with the base pad, and opposed upright side segments extending from the base pad to the container closure members. Each side segment includes a first portion foldably connected to the central segment and spaced from an adjacent container side section. Foldably connected to the first portion are opposed second portions. Each second portion spans the distance between the first portion and the adjacent container side section.
