<p>An article-container adapter (B2) is provided to restrain an article (A) from moving inside a container (C) that has sidewalls (14) which define an interior space larger than the article (A). The adapter (B2) has a base (26), configured to fit snugly inside the container (C), and a plurality of projections (28) disposed on the base (26) and spaced from each other to receive the article (A) snugly therebetween. The base (26) includes a floor panel (30) having perimetric edge portions (32) engageable with the container sidewalls (14); and the projections (28) extend upwardly from the floor panel (30) with article-confining surfaces (34) perpendicular thereto. The base (26) may also include outer wall sections (36) extending upwardly from the floor panel perimetric edge portions (32) to engage the container sidewalls (14); and the projections (28) may then extend inwardly from the outer wall sections (36) to position their article-confining surfaces (34) for engagement by the inserted article (A). The base (26) may further include a flange (38) extending outwardly from an upper end portion of each outer wall section (36). Both the base (26) and the projections (28) may be integrally formed as a one-piece plastic insert for packaging various articles in standard-size containers.</p> |
