SUSPENSION PACKAGE

摘要

A suspension package (10) includes a frame (12) having first and second opposed ends (16). Two C-shaped product restraints (30) are mounted to pivotable flaps (20) at respective ends of the frame. The product restraints extend around three sides of a product (P) being packaged, and outward rotation of the flaps shortens the effective length of the product restraints, thereby tensioning the product restraints and suspending the product in place in the frame. Another suspension package (100) applies suspension forces only to two opposed lateral sides of the product (P), avoiding contact with the top and bottom surfaces of the product. Tensioning flaps (126) can be oriented to pivot along a line in a plane parallel either to the ends (104) or to the sides (106) of the frame (102).
