A suspension package includes a frame having first and second opposed ends. Two C-shaped product restraints are mounted to pivotable flaps at respective ends of the frame. The product restraints extend around three sides of a product 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. A simple mechanism is provided for allowing a user to adjust the effective length of the product restraints. Another suspension package applies suspension forces only to two opposed lateral sides of the product, avoiding contact with the top and bottom surfaces of the product. Tensioning flaps can be oriented to pivot along a line in a plane parallel either to the end or to the sides of the frame.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A suspension package comprising:a frame comprising first and second opposed ends, said frame forming a product suspension region intermediate the ends;first and second opposed product restraints mounted to the first and second ends, respectively, said restraints comprising respective first and second product-engaging portions operative to engage a product and to limit movement of the product away from the respective end, with the product interposed (1) between the first product-engaging portion and the first end, and (2) between the second product-engaging portion and the second end; andfirst means for shortening an effective length of at least one of the restraints such that opposing tension in the first and second restraints suspends the product in the product suspension region. [30.] A suspension package comprising:a frame comprising first and second opposed ends, said frame forming a product suspension region intermediate the ends;said first end comprising a hinge and a flap mounted for pivoting movement about the hinge, said flap comprising a receiving element;a product suspension element secured to the flap to extend into the product suspension region;a mounting element;said product suspension element wrapped around the mounting element, said mounting element adjustably mounted in the receiving element for user adjustment of the effective length of the product suspension element.
