Abstract
A carton divider incorporating planar partitions with internesting slots for a right angular interlocking of the partitions. One partition slot is of a constant width and includes a laterally arcing inner portion. The mating or nesting slot includes an enlarged inner portion with a tab flexibly attached to the inner end thereof, the tab having an elongated opening aligned with the slot and defining spaced side bars interconnected by a cross bar. Upon a nesting of the slots the tab is laterally deflected or cammed by the inner portion of the first slot and the side bars positioned laterally to each side of the other partition, a portion or portions of which are received between the side bars whereby relative rotation between the partitions is prevented.
