Abstract
A single-piece corrugated box suited for shipping one or more articles, e.g. hazardous articles such as cans of paint, varnish, solvent or other liquid hydrocarbon includes four upright side wall panels that are connected by vertical fold lines and upper and lower pairs of abutting, full-overlap article-stabilizing flaps that are provided with punched openings therein positioned in vertical alignment with each other so that one pair of stabilizing flaps surrounds and interlocks over the upper end of the article and the other pair of stabilizing flaps surrounds and interlocks over the lower end of the article. Each pair of stabilizing flaps is supported exteriorally by a pair of laterally opposed end flaps which are folded centrally so as to enclose and abut the ends of the article as well as the underlying stabilizing flaps. The stabilizing flaps are hinged to the side walls of the box by horizontal fold lines. These fold lines form opposed anchoring points for the stabilizing flaps which cooperate with the interlocking of the stabilizing flaps over the article to strengthen and rigidify the box to enhance protection of the article that is packaged therein. The stabilizing flaps both extend horizontally in a straight line toward the article from the side wall to serve as a shock- and pressure-resisting brace between the article being shipped and the side wall of the box.

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.
