Abstract:
A support member formed from a single piece blank of cardboard or similar material which is creased or scored to enable it to be formed into the member having a generally boat-shaped configuration. Parallel sides extend vertically and have curved ends at the forward and aft surfaces. A primary member is hingedly secured to the sides to form a bottom and is secured to the curved ends of the side members to form curved planar surfaces which then extend inwardly to form supporting arrises, these members thus forming a hollow opening in the interior of the member. Products such as elastomeric automotive window moldings are supported on the arrises, droop inwardly into the openings, and pass under the bottom. Legs formed on lower surfaces of the sides raise the bottom member. The assembled support member and moldings may be used as a work station on the automotive assembly line.
