ABSTRACT:
The packing brace is inserted into washing machines to maintain the agitator, tub and housing of the machine free from movement relative to each other when transporting the machine. A preferred corrugated fiberboard blank produces a box having a top panel extending perpendicularly into a pair of opposite end panels, the latter extending perpendicularly toward each other into a pair of bottom panels. The pair of bottom panels extends perpendicularly toward the top panel into a pair of juxtaposed tuck panels which have locking tabs. The locking tab of each tuck panel is inserted and thereby releasably locked within an elongated aperture in the top panel. The pair of bottom panels and their extending tuck panels each have a cut out portion cooperating to define a box-like opening within the packing brace, the box-like opening having a depth less than the depth of the packing brace. A means to indicate orientation of the packing brace and blank therefor is also disclosed.
