A multiple-piece corner post used for cushioning and supporting large appliances is provided. The corner post is made from two or more structural members joined together. The multiple structural members are shaped into the desired shapes and then joined together near the ends to form a generally "L" shaped corner post. Similarly shaped structural members may be nested to save space during shipping prior to assembly.

[ We claim as our invention:] [1.]1. An elongate tubular corner post for use in the packaging of a product, said corner post having a generally L-shaped cross-section, a top end, a bottom end, and opposite edges extending axially from the top end to the bottom end, said corner post comprising:an elongate outer member made from layers of substantially flat paper laminated and shaped into a desired shape, said outer member extending axially along the side of the tubular corner post away from the product, said outer member having a vertex and opposite vertical ends; anda separate elongate inner member made from layers of substantially flat paper laminated and shaped into a desired shape, said inner member extending axially along the side of the tubular corner post toward the product, said inner member being substantially coextensive with and spaced from the outer member to define at least one hollow space therebetween, said inner member having opposite vertical ends, each inner member vertical end being turned toward the outer member at approximately a right angle and extending the distance between the outer and inner members such that the inner member is contiguous with the outer member, then turned away from the outer member vertex at approximately a right angle;wherein the corresponding ends of the outer and inner members are contiguous, straight, extend away from the outer member vertex, and are joined together along the opposite edges of the corner post to form a seam. [7.]7. An elongate tubular corner post for use in the packaging of a product, said corner post having a generally L-shaped cross-section, a top end, a bottom end, and opposite edges extending axially from the top end to the bottom end, said corner post comprising:an elongate outer member made from layers of substantially flat paper laminated and shaped into a desired shape, said outer member extending axially along the side of the tubular corner post away from the product; anda separate elongate inner member made from layers of substantially flat paper laminated and shaped into a desired shape, said inner member extending axially along the side of the tubular corner post toward the product, said inner member being substantially coextensive with and spaced from the outer member to define at least one hollow space therebetween;wherein the outer and inner members are joined together along the opposite edges of the corner post but not along the top and bottom ends and wherein the outer member and the inner member comprise different types of paper. [9.]9. An elongate tubular corner post for use in the packaging of a product, said corner post having a generally L-shaped cross-section, a top end, a bottom end, and opposite edges extending axially from the top end to the bottom end, said corner post comprising:an elongate outer member made from layers of substantially flat paper laminated and shaped into a desired shape, said outer member extending axially along the side of the tubular corner post away from the product, said outer member having a vertex and opposite vertical ends; anda separate elongate inner member made from layers of substantially flat paper laminated and shaped into a desired shape, said inner member extending axially along the side of the tubular corner post toward the product, said inner member being substantially coextensive with and spaced from the outer member to define at least one hollow space therebetween, said inner member having opposite vertical ends, each inner member vertical end having an outer edge, each inner member vertical end being turned toward the outer member at approximately a right angle and extending the distance between the outer and inner members such that the inner member is contiguous with the outer member, then turned away from the outer member vertex at approximately a right angle;wherein each of the outer member ends is turned inwardly at approximately a right angle to the outer member to form a vertically oriented rib having an inside surface defining a corner, and wherein each end of the inner member fits within the corner defined by the inner surface of the corresponding rib of the outer member and wherein the outer edge of each end of the inner member abuts the inside surface of the corresponding rib of the outer member to form a stable corner post.10. The corner post of claim 9 wherein the corresponding outer member and inner member ends are bonded together. [11.]11. A generally L-shaped corner post for use in the packaging of a product, said corner post having opposite edges and comprising:an elongate outer member made from layers of paper laminated with adhesive and located on the side of the corner post away from the product; andan elongate inner member made from layers of paper laminated with an adhesive different than the adhesive used to laminate the outer member layers, said inner member being substantially coextensive with the outer member and located on the side of the corner post toward the product;wherein the outer and inner members are joined together along the opposite edges of the corner post. [12.]12. A generally L-shaped corner post for use in the packaging of a product, said corner post having opposite edges and comprising:an elongate outer member located on the side of the corner post away from the product and having a vertex; andan elongate inner member substantially coextensive with the outer member and located on the side of the corner post toward the product;wherein the outer member has opposite ends each of which is turned inwardly at approximately a right angle and then turned inwardly again at approximately a right angle to form a substantially U-shaped end defining a vertically oriented slot therein, and the inner member has corresponding ends which are straight, extend away from the vertex, and fit snugly inside the slots.
