A reinforced paperboard box for storage and shipping of elongated items is described. The box is formed from a single piece of paperboard and may be rapidly assembled without the use of tools. The box comprises an elongated rectangular bottom panel, first and second joined side panels, a top panel, a front reinforcing panel and dividing partition all foldably joined at elongated edges and constructed to form a multi-level elongated box. The first side panel has a pair of abutting end panels foldably joined to either end, with a tab receiving panel and a locking panel foldably joined to either side of the end panel. The second side panel has a pair of end panels foldably joined to either end, that are locked in place by the locking panels and tab receiving panels of the first side panel. The dividing partition is includes at least one pair of cuts and a series of perforations enabling the dividing partition to be folded inwardly so as to divide the interior space of the box into at least two compartments. Variations of the invention include additional perforations along the dividing partition and locking panels to aid in assembly of the box. Other variations include angled cuts to the dividing partition for special shaped compartments and use of multiple cuts and related perforations in the dividing partition to form a plurality of compartments within the box.

[ I claim:] [1.] A reinforced paperboard box for storage and shipping of elongated items, comprising:a bottom panel, first and second opposed side panels, a top panel and a front reinforcing panel, each of said panels being substantially rectangular in shape and having opposed longitudinal and transverse edges, said longitudinal edges being no longer than a first predetermined length, said side panels being foldably joined at their lower longitudinal edges to the bottom panel, the top panel foldably joined at its lower longitudinal edge to the upper longitudinal edge of the first side panel, the front reinforcing panel foldablyjoined at its lower longitudinal edge to the upper longitudinal edge of the top panel, to the form an elongated box, said box having a substantially rectangular cross section, a first predetermined width and a first predetermined height;a pair of rectangular first side end panels, each of said first side end panels foldably joined to a transverse edge of the first side panel;a pair of rectangular second side end panels, each of said second side end panels foldably joined to a transverse edge of the second side panel;means for securing each of the first side side end panels in orthogonal alignment with each of the second side end panels when the box is assembled so as to form a pair of receiving pocket between the first side end panels and the second side end panels;a pair of top end extensions, each of said top end extensions attached at its proximate edge to a transverse edge of the top panel;a pair of front panel end extensions, each of said front panel end extensions attached at its proximate edge to a transverse edge of the reinforcing front panel;a dividing partition having first and second opposed, elongated, parallel edges of a second predetermined length less than the first predetermined length, spaced apart a second predetermined width equal to the sum of the first predetermined width and the first predetermined height, and third and fourth oppossed, parallel end edges, said dividing partition foldably joined at its first edge to the lower longitudinal edge of the second side panel;said dividing partition including at least one pair of cuts, each of said first and second cuts spaced from one of the third and fourth edges of the dividing partition;each of said first and second cuts extending from the first edge of the dividing partition to a first point spaced from the first edge by a first predetermined distance, from said first point to a second point spaced from the first edge by the first predetermined width, and from said second point to a third point, said third point spaced from the second edge of the dividing partition by a second predetermined distance;a first perforation parallel to the first edge of the dividing partition, said first perforation extending from the first point of the first cut to the third edge of the dividing partition;a second perforation parallel to the first edge of the dividing partition, said second perforation extending from the third point of the first cut to the third edge of the dividing partition;a third perforation parallel to the first edge of the dividing partition, said third perforation extending from the second point of the first cut to the second point of the second cut;a fourth perforation parallel to the first edge of the dividing partition, said fourth perforation extending from the first point of the second cut to the fourth edge of the dividing partition;a fifth perforation parallel to the first edge of the dividing partition, said fifth perforation extending from the third point of the second cut to the fourth edge of the dividing partition;whereby, when the first and second side panels are folded inwardly from the bottom panel, and the first side end panels and the second side end panels are secured in orthogonal alignment, an open topped rectangular container with closed ends may be formed; andwhereby, when the dividing partition is folded inwardly along the first, second, third, fourth and fifth perforations and inwardly from the second side panel so that its second edge rests upon the bottom panel, and the top end extensions are inserted between the first and second side panels, and the reinforcing front panel is folded inwardly from the top panel and over the second side panel, and the front panel end extensions are inserted into the receiving pockets formed between the first and second side end panels, a closed reinforced paperboard box divided into a plurality of compartments for storage and shipping of elongated items may be formed.
