ABSTRACT:
A composite package for a water heater includes a two-part folded cardboard assembly as a top support panel and a two-part folded cardboard assembly as a bottom support panel. The two members that comprise the top support panel each being as a generally rectangular cardboard member which is folded so as to result in a double-thickness center area and oppositely disposed downwardly depending side walls. These two members are then turned 90 degrees to each other so as to create an open, box-like structure. Virtually the same procedure is followed for the fabrication of the bottom support panel. Each of the four folded cardboard members include a centrally disposed and generally rectangular reinforcement which may either be plastic, metal or a similar relatively rigid material and this reinforcement is secured to the folded cardboard. After the water heater is placed within the bottom support panel and the top support panel is attached to the top of the water heater, bands are arranged around the entirety of the assembly and tightened so as to draw the top and bottom support panels toward one another and against the opposite ends of the water heater. For added bracing and support, corner braces are installed in the corners of the bottom support panel so as to be contiguous with the outer surface of the water heater.
