1. Carton apparatus, comprising:
- a cap member including a top wall with an outer periphery, a skirt wall downwardly depending from said outer periphery so as to form at least two outer corners and cooperating with said top wall to form a partially enclosed area, said cap member further comprising internal divider wall means in said partially enclosed area, extending between said corners and spaced from said skirt wall so as to form channel means therewith for receiving a carton wall member; and
a plurality of corner posts, each comprising a one-piece integral paperboard blank of preselected thickness folded to form a corner post including a pair of coextensive sides joined together at an angle to one another along an axially extending fold line so as to form a concave channel, and end wall means interrupting said concave channel, comprising a pair of overlapping end walls, one extending from each side, respectively.

5. Carton enclosure apparatus including a cap member, comprising:
-
a top wall with an outer periphery; at least one skirt wall downwardly depending from said outer periphery so as to form at least two outer corners and cooperating with said top wall to form a partially enclosed area; an internal divider wall in said partially enclosed area, extending between said corners and spaced from and generally parallel to said at least one skirt wall so as to define a channel between said internal divider wall and said skirt wall; and a joining wall joining said internal divider wall and said at least one skirt wall, said joining wall extending between first portions of said internal divider wall and said at least one skirt wall so as to divide said channel into downwardly opening pocket portions for telescoping engagement with an end of a carton wall member, the pocket portions extending between said joining wall and said outer corners and between remaining portions of said internal divider wall and said at least one skirt wall. - View Dependent Claims (6)
