Abstract:
1. A container for a good having an axial dimension, the container comprising: upper and lower first end supports having four corners each first end support consisting of a generally flat board with material entirely removed at the corners to define a notch cut-out and an extension ear and being oriented in a first plane, the upper and lower first end supports arranged vertically; upper and lower second end supports having four corners, the upper and lower second end supports arranged vertically, and each second end support consisting of a generally flat board with material removed at the corners to define a notch cut-out and an extension ear and being oriented in a second plane spaced axially from the first plane; wherein each corner of each end support has a vertical edge and a horizontal edge, and wherein each notch cut-out in each corner is defined by a vertical boundary inset from the vertical edge of the end support, and further defined by a horizontal boundary inset from the horizontal edge of the end support, and further defined by an enlarged curved cut-out portion further inset from both the vertical edge and horizontal edge than the vertical boundary and horizontal boundary, respectively; at least four connecting rails having first and second ends, the first ends of at least two rails being removably connected to a first end support at the notch cut-out and the second ends of the at least two rails being removably connected to a second end support at the notch cut-out, each rail being connected to a different corner of the upper first end support and a corresponding corner of the upper second end support, wherein the upper end supports are supported by their respective lower end supports, wherein the extension ear aids in keeping the rail from sliding away from the end support, but permits the rail to be inserted and removed from the sides of the notches by angling the rail relative to the support and notch and wherein each end support has an opening entirely therethrough to provide a support for suspending at least one good with the axial dimension of the good in a horizontal plane.
