The invention is a paperboard container having a base, a cover, and a divider in the base, the divider having four panels that each radiate from a common center and terminate in a corner of the base. The dividers extend above the height of the base to form a guide for the cover as it is telescoped thereover and form a rigid container structure strengthened by the dividers.

A paperboard container and divider comprising: a container base having a bottom and four side walls which intersect in upstanding corners each disposed at right angles to the bottom; a divider having four divider panels each radiating from a common central axis extending normal to the center of said bottom and each panel having a free side edge that extends upright parallel to said axis within a corner formed by two of said side walls of said base and extends beyond said base; a cover for said base operative to close the container and having a top which in closed position lies parallel to said bottom, and the cover having four side walls each at right angles to the top, the cross section of said cover taken normal to said axis being the same as the cross section of said base, and the corners formed by the four side walls of both the base and the cover being everywhere mutually parallel and parallel with said axis; locking means located internally of the base and cooperating with catch means on the free side edges of the divider to maintain the divider fixed within the base; and each of said upright free side edges of said divider panels extending in a straight line above the side walls of said base to a height equal to the height of the side walls of said cover, whereby the free side edges of the divider fit into the corners of the cover and form a cover guide as the cover is slidingly telescoped over the divider to said closed position wherein the free lower edges of the side walls of the cover abutt the free upper edges of the side walls of the base.
