Abstract
A carton divider formed from an elongated unitary blank which is formed with a plurality of fold lines which extend from its upper edge toward its lower edge in a spaced relationship. The fold lines serve to divide the blank into first, transverse divider panels, a first side wall panel, a second transverse divider panel, a second side wall panel, a third transverse divider panel and a central handle panel. The blank being cut to form a second handle panel and a first glue flap which extends downwardly from the upper edge. The second handle panel has one edge hingedly connected to the second divider panel along one of the fold lines. The second handle panel has a length which matches that of the first handle panel. The first glue flap is hingedly connected to the second handle panel along one of the fold lines. The blank is cut to form a third handle panel and a second glue flap which extends downwardly from the upper edge. The third handle panel has one edge hingedly connected to the central handle panel. The third handle panel has a length which matches that of the first handle panel. The second glue flap is hingedly connected to the third handle panel along a further fold line. The first and third transverse divider panels have a length which is equal to half that of the second divider panel. An adhesive coating is applied to the outer face of the blank in the area of the first handle panel and on the inner face of the blank in the second handle panel, first glue flap, third handle panel and second glue flap, such that when the divider is assembled by folding the blank, it will form two enclosures arranged one on either side of the handle panels.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
