BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
I. Fi~ld of the Invention This invention relates to display boxes constructed from a one-piece blanX and, in particular, to a one-piace display box adapted ~o mount a faucet or the like therein while providing protection for the product during shelf storage.
II. Descr1ption of the Pr}or Art _ _ Because of the inexpensive properties of cardbo~rd material it has become highly desixable to utilize cardboard boxes to store and transport consumer products.
Such containers pe~mit uniform storage of irregularly shaped objects or products which include a plurality of components. However, these ~ully enclosed containers do not provide co~venient viewing of the ~product ky the consumer. If the container is sealed, the consumer would ~nevita~ly ~-e~k the seal to ensure that a non-defective product was enclosed. Despite this disadvan'age, conventional cardboard bo~s are still widely utili2ed to store and transport consumer~ products. :2~oreover, in most instances such bo~s are fo m~d f-om 2 one-pie^e Dl anX

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A PRE:FERRED
.. . . _ _ . _ _ EMBODIMENrr OF THI: PRESENT INV~NTION
. _ ~ _ Referring generally to the drawings, there are shown twc~ exemplary embodlments s:~f a display box for a faucet asse~bly or the like and the one-piece blanks for forming the display box in accordance with the present invention.
Since both embodiments are substantially ~imilar, the present invention will be described in conjunction with a first embodiment with the understanding that like references will pertai~ to both embodiments where applicable.
Referring now to Figs. 1 through 4, a display box 10 for retaining and displaying a faucet assembly 12 is shown. The display box 10 generally comprises a rectangular back panel 14, a top panel 16, a bottom panel 18 and a pair of sid~ panels 20. In the preferred embodiment of the display box 10, the top panel 16 and bottom panel 18 are hingedly attached to ~he top and bottom edges of the back panel 1~. Similarly, the side panels 20 are hingedly at'ached to opposi'e ~ide edaes of the back panel 1~. ~he display box 10 of the present ~nvention h2s a sloped ~_or.t .ace 22 in orde- .o protec~
~he ~aucet assem~ly 12 from damage during storage. ~s ~s shown best in Fig. 2, ~ order to provi~e a bet~e-display, the ~aucet assembly 1~ ex~eDds forwardly beyond the ~ront lace 22~ Howe~er, because of the slopP of the frGnt face 22, the faucet 12 is preventPd from contacting ~he display ~ox 10 di~ec~ly in front ~hereof during ~_ans2o~ or shelf storage. I~ order to form this Eron.
:13~ 5 face 22, the side panels 20 are not rectangular but rather are provided with angl~d forward edges :24. In addition, the bottom panel 18 has a width greater than the width of the top panel 16 although both are equal in length.
Extending from the bottom panel 18 is a compartment-forming panel 26 that forms the mounting surface for the faucet assembly 12 and a storage area for hardware components. The compartment-~orming panel 26 preferably comprises a 610ped front face portion 28, a mounting portion 30, and a background display panel 32 respecti~ely hingedly attached to each other. The front ~ace portion 28 forms a part of the front ~ace 22 o~ the box 10 extending at an angle to be aligned with the edges 24 of the side panels 20.
Extending inwardly from the front face 22 of ~he box is the mounting portion 30 which forms a mounting surface for the faucet assembly and di~ides the interior of the display box 10 into an upper display housing 34 nd a lower storage compartment 36. In order to support the faucet assembly 12 and prevent collapse o~ the mounting surface, the mounting portion 30 includes a pair o~
support flaps 3~ extending downwardly from tha side edges of the ~ounting portion 3Q and resti~g on the bottom pane~
18. In the preferred embodime~ts, ~he mounting portion 30 is supported in a substanti21ly ho-iz~n _21 C_ ien_a_ion.
F~rthe~more, the mounting pcrtion 3~ i5 proviaed w~h a pl~al i ty 0~ openings 40, in ~he form o~ 2?e-~ur~s or slo~s, in order to facilit~te mounting of _he aucet assembly 12 using the hardware provided ~or perm2nent in~'z~lation of .he faucet. ~ny hard~-are ~ which is no_ utilized ~n ~irectly mounting the ~aucet zssembly can be conveniently stored in the lower storage compartment 36 (Figs-. 2 and 7) without intexfering wi~h display o. ~he tzuce~.
The background display panel 32 extends upwardly from the mounting portion 30 to ~orm a rear face or background far the upper display housing 34. The display panel 32 extends upwardly to engage the top panel 16 thereby cooperating with the support flaps 38 to provide a stable mounting surface for the faucet. ~he support flaps 38 engage the bottom panel 18 while the display panel 32 engages the top panel 16 to prevent the mounting surface 30 from collapsing downwardly and to prevent the mounting surface 30 from flopping upwardly or outwardly from within the display box 10. Alternatively, the mounting portion 30 may be supported in a sloped fashion by properly lengthening or shortening the display panel 32 and altering the configuration o~ the support flaps -~8. In addition, the display panel 32 may include illustra~ions or promotional indicia designed to market the device and enhanc~ tha aesthetic appeal of the box 10. Since the compartment forming panel 26 is a continuous panel, a full length promotional illustration may be applied thereto.
The display boxes 10 are formed from a one piece ~lank 50 having numerous flaps, as shown in Figs~ 5 and 9, i~ or~er to assemble the box 10 without the need for adhesives. Referring now to ~igs. 5 and 9, the back panel 14 includes a plurality of slots 52 and ~3 extending along the edaes o the ba~k panel 1.. Preferably, at leas~ one slot ~3 ~x--ends along the top edge 55 ~nd one slot ~2 ex.enQs aiong each side edge 57 c~ the back pane' 14.
However, tD provide enhanced stabili-~y addi~ional slo~s 52 may be incl~ded, particularly along longer iengths as shown in the e~odiment of ~is. 9. ~ese slots 52 and ~3 ~re a~apted to recei~e s~nila~ly con~ red tabs 56 and 60 as will be more full described hereinafter.
The side panels 20 of the ~7 2nk 50 2re provided with c7Osure flzps 5~ hinge~ly a~_ached .here~o and extending ~3~6~
from the angled edge 24 of the side panels Z0~ Each of the closure flaps 54 include tabs 56 centrally disposed along the outer edge of the closure flapls 54. Similarly, the top panel 16 includes a closure :Elap 58 hingedly attached to the outer edge 59 of ~he panel 16. The closure flap 5~ has at least one ta~ 60 formed at the outer edge. In the first embodiment (Fig 5), one centrally disposed tab 60 i~ formed on the closure flap 58. However, because o~ the length o~ the top panel 16 in the embodiment of Figs. 6-9, the top closure ~lap 58 is provided with a pair of tabs 60 which engag~ spaced slots 53 formed along the upper edge 55 of the back panel 14.
In order to detachably connect the bottom panel 1~ to the side panels 20, the botto~ panel 18 includes retaining flaps 62 hingedly attached to the side edges thereof. The retaining flap~ 62 have a configuration similar to the configuration of ~he side panels 20 and are adapted t~ be retained between the side closure fIap S4 and the side panel 20 upon assembly of the display box 10. Hingedly attached to the top edge 63 of the side panels 20 are top reLaining flaps 64. These retaining ~laps 64 are adapted to ~e retained between the top closure flap ~8 and the top panel 16 upon assembly.
Systematic assembly of the display box 10 using the uni.ary blank ~0 provides convenient means for displaying a produc', su-ch as the faucet 12, without re~uiring the applicztion O r adhesive mate-ials. Beginni~g with ~he bo.tom p~nel 18 flus~ with the working surf~ce, the bottom panel retaining flaps 62 ~re folded upwardly 2t a rign, angle to the bo~to~ panel ~8. Thereafter, -.he back p2nel 14, along with its appurten2nt flaps and panels, is folded upwardly at a risht angle to the bottom panel 18.
Simultan60usly, the side pznels ~0 zre folded for~-a-d while the closure ~laps 54 are folded around the lorw2rd ~3~ 5 edge 65 of the retaining flaps 62 and back towards the back panel 14. With the bottom panel retaining flaps 62 disposed between the side panels 20 and the closure flaps 54, the tabs 56 of the side closure flaps 54 ar~ inserted into the corresponding slots 52 formed along thP side edges of the back panel 14.
In this position, both the top panel 16 and the top panel retaining flaps 64 extend upwardly. To assemble ~he top of the box 10, the top panel retaining flaps 64 are folded inwardly until they are perpendicular to the side panels 20. Thereafter, the top panel 16 is folded down on top of the retaining flaps 64 and the top closure flap 58 is folded inwardly around the retaining flaps 64. With the retaining flaps 64 disposed between the top panel 16 and ~he top closure flap 58, the tab or tabs 60 of the closure flap 58 are inserted into the corresponding slots 53 formed along the top edge o~ the back panel 14.
Referring to Fi~s. 4 and 8, the general configuration of the display box lO has been formed with only assembly of the mounting surface remaining. However, prior to inserting he compartment-forming panel 26, the faucet assembly 12 i9 mo~nted to ~he mo~nting portion 30 using the assembly hardware of the faucet. By inserting the inlet conduits of the ~aucet i~to the openings 40 and thread2bly a~plying the mounting nu's ~rom .he reverse side, the 'aucet 12 can be se_ured to the mounting surr2ce. ~ny remaining hard~a-_ ~2 can _herea~ter be placed on the bottom panel 18 for storage w~-~hin the storage compa~tment~ 36~
Wi.h ~Ihe ~aucet 12 mDunted to the panel 26, the support flaps 38 are folded inwardly a' a right angle to the mounting portion 30. Thereaf-er, 'Ihe display panel 32 can be folded outwardly (as shown in Fis. 4) .o allow inse-tion of the compa-~men.-,orming panel 26 wilhin the ~3~g~5 display box 10. As the panel 26 is ~nserted, the support *laps 38 are forced downwardly until they engage the bottom panel 18. The display panel 32 can now be forced backward flush against the back panel 14. With the box 10 fully assembled, the front face portion 28 is sloped and aligned with the angled edges 24 of the box 10 to form the sloped front face 22. The mounting portion 30 is supported in a substantially horizontal orientation diYiding the interior of the ~ox lO into a lower storage compartment 36, for storing the extraneous components o~
the faucet 12, and an upper display housing 34 within which the faucet 12 is displayed.
Assembly of the second embodiment differs only slightly and i~ a result o~ the greater length of the box ~0. As shown in Figs. 8 and 9, the side closure flaps 54 include a slot 70 adapted to receive corresponding tabs 72 formed at ~he ends of the mounting portion 30. This tab and slot arrangement is designed to provide additional support for the mounting surface, particularly in the area of the 510t 40a adapted to receive the hand sprayer 74 o~
the laucet assem~ly 12 shown in Figs. 6 and 7.
Thus, the present invention-provides a display box which is conveniently assembled from a one-piece blank which does not require any adhesives or the lik~ to mzintaln ~h~ s~ruc_ure of the box. M4-eove-, the ~isplay box can be disassembled for re-use on a later occasion lf necessa~y. ~inally, the dlsplay box of ~he presen' inv~ntion provides a simple me~ns o~ ~e~2~n1ng and displaying a ~aucet assembly which does not interfere with the customer's view of tbe product which can occur when shrink wrap or ~lister packing is utilized. ~owever, despite the lack of pro~ective wrapping, the lCaucet is protected lCrom damage due to contac~ wi~h other pa_kas2s ~y the sloped rront fac~ Oc the dis~lay DOX.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A PRE:FERRED
.. . . _ _ . _ _ EMBODIMENrr OF THI: PRESENT INV~NTION
. _ ~ _ Referring generally to the drawings, there are shown twc~ exemplary embodlments s:~f a display box for a faucet asse~bly or the like and the one-piece blanks for forming the display box in accordance with the present invention.
Since both embodiments are substantially ~imilar, the present invention will be described in conjunction with a first embodiment with the understanding that like references will pertai~ to both embodiments where applicable.
Referring now to Figs. 1 through 4, a display box 10 for retaining and displaying a faucet assembly 12 is shown. The display box 10 generally comprises a rectangular back panel 14, a top panel 16, a bottom panel 18 and a pair of sid~ panels 20. In the preferred embodiment of the display box 10, the top panel 16 and bottom panel 18 are hingedly attached to ~he top and bottom edges of the back panel 1~. Similarly, the side panels 20 are hingedly at'ached to opposi'e ~ide edaes of the back panel 1~. ~he display box 10 of the present ~nvention h2s a sloped ~_or.t .ace 22 in orde- .o protec~
~he ~aucet assem~ly 12 from damage during storage. ~s ~s shown best in Fig. 2, ~ order to provi~e a bet~e-display, the ~aucet assembly 1~ ex~eDds forwardly beyond the ~ront lace 22~ Howe~er, because of the slopP of the frGnt face 22, the faucet 12 is preventPd from contacting ~he display ~ox 10 di~ec~ly in front ~hereof during ~_ans2o~ or shelf storage. I~ order to form this Eron.
:13~ 5 face 22, the side panels 20 are not rectangular but rather are provided with angl~d forward edges :24. In addition, the bottom panel 18 has a width greater than the width of the top panel 16 although both are equal in length.
Extending from the bottom panel 18 is a compartment-forming panel 26 that forms the mounting surface for the faucet assembly 12 and a storage area for hardware components. The compartment-~orming panel 26 preferably comprises a 610ped front face portion 28, a mounting portion 30, and a background display panel 32 respecti~ely hingedly attached to each other. The front ~ace portion 28 forms a part of the front ~ace 22 o~ the box 10 extending at an angle to be aligned with the edges 24 of the side panels 20.
Extending inwardly from the front face 22 of ~he box is the mounting portion 30 which forms a mounting surface for the faucet assembly and di~ides the interior of the display box 10 into an upper display housing 34 nd a lower storage compartment 36. In order to support the faucet assembly 12 and prevent collapse o~ the mounting surface, the mounting portion 30 includes a pair o~
support flaps 3~ extending downwardly from tha side edges of the ~ounting portion 3Q and resti~g on the bottom pane~
18. In the preferred embodime~ts, ~he mounting portion 30 is supported in a substanti21ly ho-iz~n _21 C_ ien_a_ion.
F~rthe~more, the mounting pcrtion 3~ i5 proviaed w~h a pl~al i ty 0~ openings 40, in ~he form o~ 2?e-~ur~s or slo~s, in order to facilit~te mounting of _he aucet assembly 12 using the hardware provided ~or perm2nent in~'z~lation of .he faucet. ~ny hard~-are ~ which is no_ utilized ~n ~irectly mounting the ~aucet zssembly can be conveniently stored in the lower storage compartment 36 (Figs-. 2 and 7) without intexfering wi~h display o. ~he tzuce~.
The background display panel 32 extends upwardly from the mounting portion 30 to ~orm a rear face or background far the upper display housing 34. The display panel 32 extends upwardly to engage the top panel 16 thereby cooperating with the support flaps 38 to provide a stable mounting surface for the faucet. ~he support flaps 38 engage the bottom panel 18 while the display panel 32 engages the top panel 16 to prevent the mounting surface 30 from collapsing downwardly and to prevent the mounting surface 30 from flopping upwardly or outwardly from within the display box 10. Alternatively, the mounting portion 30 may be supported in a sloped fashion by properly lengthening or shortening the display panel 32 and altering the configuration o~ the support flaps -~8. In addition, the display panel 32 may include illustra~ions or promotional indicia designed to market the device and enhanc~ tha aesthetic appeal of the box 10. Since the compartment forming panel 26 is a continuous panel, a full length promotional illustration may be applied thereto.
The display boxes 10 are formed from a one piece ~lank 50 having numerous flaps, as shown in Figs~ 5 and 9, i~ or~er to assemble the box 10 without the need for adhesives. Referring now to ~igs. 5 and 9, the back panel 14 includes a plurality of slots 52 and ~3 extending along the edaes o the ba~k panel 1.. Preferably, at leas~ one slot ~3 ~x--ends along the top edge 55 ~nd one slot ~2 ex.enQs aiong each side edge 57 c~ the back pane' 14.
However, tD provide enhanced stabili-~y addi~ional slo~s 52 may be incl~ded, particularly along longer iengths as shown in the e~odiment of ~is. 9. ~ese slots 52 and ~3 ~re a~apted to recei~e s~nila~ly con~ red tabs 56 and 60 as will be more full described hereinafter.
The side panels 20 of the ~7 2nk 50 2re provided with c7Osure flzps 5~ hinge~ly a~_ached .here~o and extending ~3~6~
from the angled edge 24 of the side panels Z0~ Each of the closure flaps 54 include tabs 56 centrally disposed along the outer edge of the closure flapls 54. Similarly, the top panel 16 includes a closure :Elap 58 hingedly attached to the outer edge 59 of ~he panel 16. The closure flap 5~ has at least one ta~ 60 formed at the outer edge. In the first embodiment (Fig 5), one centrally disposed tab 60 i~ formed on the closure flap 58. However, because o~ the length o~ the top panel 16 in the embodiment of Figs. 6-9, the top closure ~lap 58 is provided with a pair of tabs 60 which engag~ spaced slots 53 formed along the upper edge 55 of the back panel 14.
In order to detachably connect the bottom panel 1~ to the side panels 20, the botto~ panel 18 includes retaining flaps 62 hingedly attached to the side edges thereof. The retaining flap~ 62 have a configuration similar to the configuration of ~he side panels 20 and are adapted t~ be retained between the side closure fIap S4 and the side panel 20 upon assembly of the display box 10. Hingedly attached to the top edge 63 of the side panels 20 are top reLaining flaps 64. These retaining ~laps 64 are adapted to ~e retained between the top closure flap ~8 and the top panel 16 upon assembly.
Systematic assembly of the display box 10 using the uni.ary blank ~0 provides convenient means for displaying a produc', su-ch as the faucet 12, without re~uiring the applicztion O r adhesive mate-ials. Beginni~g with ~he bo.tom p~nel 18 flus~ with the working surf~ce, the bottom panel retaining flaps 62 ~re folded upwardly 2t a rign, angle to the bo~to~ panel ~8. Thereafter, -.he back p2nel 14, along with its appurten2nt flaps and panels, is folded upwardly at a risht angle to the bottom panel 18.
Simultan60usly, the side pznels ~0 zre folded for~-a-d while the closure ~laps 54 are folded around the lorw2rd ~3~ 5 edge 65 of the retaining flaps 62 and back towards the back panel 14. With the bottom panel retaining flaps 62 disposed between the side panels 20 and the closure flaps 54, the tabs 56 of the side closure flaps 54 ar~ inserted into the corresponding slots 52 formed along thP side edges of the back panel 14.
In this position, both the top panel 16 and the top panel retaining flaps 64 extend upwardly. To assemble ~he top of the box 10, the top panel retaining flaps 64 are folded inwardly until they are perpendicular to the side panels 20. Thereafter, the top panel 16 is folded down on top of the retaining flaps 64 and the top closure flap 58 is folded inwardly around the retaining flaps 64. With the retaining flaps 64 disposed between the top panel 16 and ~he top closure flap 58, the tab or tabs 60 of the closure flap 58 are inserted into the corresponding slots 53 formed along the top edge o~ the back panel 14.
Referring to Fi~s. 4 and 8, the general configuration of the display box lO has been formed with only assembly of the mounting surface remaining. However, prior to inserting he compartment-forming panel 26, the faucet assembly 12 i9 mo~nted to ~he mo~nting portion 30 using the assembly hardware of the faucet. By inserting the inlet conduits of the ~aucet i~to the openings 40 and thread2bly a~plying the mounting nu's ~rom .he reverse side, the 'aucet 12 can be se_ured to the mounting surr2ce. ~ny remaining hard~a-_ ~2 can _herea~ter be placed on the bottom panel 18 for storage w~-~hin the storage compa~tment~ 36~
Wi.h ~Ihe ~aucet 12 mDunted to the panel 26, the support flaps 38 are folded inwardly a' a right angle to the mounting portion 30. Thereaf-er, 'Ihe display panel 32 can be folded outwardly (as shown in Fis. 4) .o allow inse-tion of the compa-~men.-,orming panel 26 wilhin the ~3~g~5 display box 10. As the panel 26 is ~nserted, the support *laps 38 are forced downwardly until they engage the bottom panel 18. The display panel 32 can now be forced backward flush against the back panel 14. With the box 10 fully assembled, the front face portion 28 is sloped and aligned with the angled edges 24 of the box 10 to form the sloped front face 22. The mounting portion 30 is supported in a substantially horizontal orientation diYiding the interior of the ~ox lO into a lower storage compartment 36, for storing the extraneous components o~
the faucet 12, and an upper display housing 34 within which the faucet 12 is displayed.
Assembly of the second embodiment differs only slightly and i~ a result o~ the greater length of the box ~0. As shown in Figs. 8 and 9, the side closure flaps 54 include a slot 70 adapted to receive corresponding tabs 72 formed at ~he ends of the mounting portion 30. This tab and slot arrangement is designed to provide additional support for the mounting surface, particularly in the area of the 510t 40a adapted to receive the hand sprayer 74 o~
the laucet assem~ly 12 shown in Figs. 6 and 7.
Thus, the present invention-provides a display box which is conveniently assembled from a one-piece blank which does not require any adhesives or the lik~ to mzintaln ~h~ s~ruc_ure of the box. M4-eove-, the ~isplay box can be disassembled for re-use on a later occasion lf necessa~y. ~inally, the dlsplay box of ~he presen' inv~ntion provides a simple me~ns o~ ~e~2~n1ng and displaying a ~aucet assembly which does not interfere with the customer's view of tbe product which can occur when shrink wrap or ~lister packing is utilized. ~owever, despite the lack of pro~ective wrapping, the lCaucet is protected lCrom damage due to contac~ wi~h other pa_kas2s ~y the sloped rront fac~ Oc the dis~lay DOX.
