6 Claims. (01. 206 45) This invention relates to display containers having front and rear compartments.
An object of the invention is to provide a display container with a plurality of compartments which are adapted to be arranged particularly compactly for shipping and storage, but to occupy a highly'eifective angulated position for the display of goods. A further object is the provision of a device wherein one or more rear articles are effectively displayed beyond the top of one or more effectively displayed front articles. Another object is the provision of a structure which assumes its display position with a minimum of effort or attention on the part of the person unpacking it for display.
The invention accordingly comprises an article of manufacture possessing the features, properties, and the relation of elements which will be exemplified in the article hereinafter described and the scope of the application of which will be indicated in the claims.
For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention, reference should be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in.
which:
Figure l is a perspective view of a display container embodying the invention and in display position;
Fig. 2 shows one of the blanks from which the container is formed; I
Fig. 3 shows the other blank;
Fig. 4 shows the blanks of Figs. 2 and" 3 in assembled relationship;
Fig. 5 shows the opposite side of the assembly and Fig. 6 shows the assembly in position for shipping or storage and surrounded by a cover.
The particular construction exemplified is formed from two blanks as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The blank of Fig. 2 comprises a panel In to which is connected by a fold line H a flap I2 joined by a fold line I4l5 to.a tuck It. The portions I4 and [5 of the fold line are separated by a slit. 11. Connected to the panel ill by a fold line 18 is a flap [9 adapted to receive glue on an under surface as shown at20 in Fig. 5; and connected to the panel In by a fold line 2| is a panel 22. Connected to the panel 22 by a fold line 23 is a tab 24, and by a fold line 25 is a panel 26 and which is joined by a fold line 21 to a tab 28 having therein a fold 29. Connected to the panel 26 by fold lines 30 and 3|, which are alined with the fold line 29, is a panel 32, and connected with the panel 32 by a fold line 33 is a panel 34,
Connected with the panel 34 by means of a fold line 35 is a tab 38 and by means of a fold line 3! is a tab 38. Connected with the panel26 by a fold line 4| is a panel 42 adapted to be glued Connected to the flap I9 by means of glue 28'. with the panel by a fold line 44 is a tab 45. Connected with the panel 28 by a fold line 46 is a panel 41 which is separated from the panel 22 by a cut 48 and from the panel 42 by a cut 49. Connected with the panel. by a fold-line 5| is a panel 52 and connected therewith by a fold line 53 is a tab 54 having therein a fold line 55 which is alined with the free edge of the panel 52. Connected with the pane152 by a fold line 5'! is a panel 58, and connected with the panel 58 by a fold line 59 is a tab 60". Connected with the panel 52 by a fold line BI is a panel 62 which is joined by a fold line 63 to a tab 64 and by a fold line 65 to a panel 66. Con- 'f. nected with the panel 66 by a fold line 6! is a flap 68 adapted to'receive glue 69 as shown in Fig. 5 to join it with the flap 58. Connected with the panel 86 by a fold line H is a panel 72, and connected with the panel 72 by a fold line 13-14 is a flap 15. A slit 16 is cut centrally between the fold lines 13 and 14.
The blank of Fig. 3 comprises a panel joined by a fold line 8| to a panel 82 which is joined by a fold line 83 to a panel 84, which in turn is joined by a fold line 85 by a. flap 86.
The blank of Fig. 3 is assembled with the blank of Fig. 2 by having the flap 86 bent overonto the panel 84 and by having inserted thru the sections 86, 84, and I0 fastening means such as wire staples 81 and 88 and by having inserted thru the panels 84 and I0 fastening means such as wire staples 89, 90, and 8|. The assembly thus provided is illustrated in Figs. 4 and 5 and is readily adapted to be converted into display container form by folding on the fold lines and by the gluing at 20 and 69. In assembly, the panel 42 is joined to the flap l9, and the panel 58 to the flap 68, as by gluing; the tabs 24 and 45 are bent in; the panel I2 and the tuck I6 are bent in on the fold lines H and [4-15 respectively; and the tab 28 is bent on the line 29 and inserted in the slit IT. The tabs 60 and 64 are bent in, the panel 12 and the tuck 1-5 bent in on the line H and 13'l4 respectively, and the,
tab 54 bent on the line 55 and inserted in the slit.|8. The panel 52 may then befolded down on the line 5|.
Thus assembled the display container includes a rear compartment 92 adapted to receive art1- cles 93 for display above upper edge of the panel 26, and a front compartment 94-, which, in the present instance, is of similar capacity and which is adapted to display articles 93 over the wavy edge of the panel 66. For shipping purposes the front and rear compartments are disposed in parallel as shown in Fig. 6, with the panel 32 bent up and the panel 34 bent down between the panels I and 26; the tabs 36 and 38 lying between the panel 52 and the panel 12 in the space at either side of the tab 54. The panels 82 and 80 are folded over on lines 83 and 8| respectively to permit the free end of the panel 80 to be thrust behind the panel 66. The assembly is preferably surrounded by a cover 95 extending over the front, rear, top, and bottom of the assembly but leaving the ends open so that the assembly can be readily slid out from the cover to display the goods for sale. Upon the removal of the cover, or upon unpacking if no cover is used, the
free end of the tab 80 may be thrust under the flap B6 to provide a display back. The front compartment moves forward to. permit the panels 32 and 24 to unfold. The articles in the front compartment are thus displayed at an angle and at a point below the top of the articles in the rearJcompartment to provide a very sightly and effective display arrangement.
Since certain changes may be made in the above article and different embodiments of the invention could be made without departing from the scope thereof, it is intended'that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the, accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
