  • Patent number: 5984120
    Abstract: A point-of-purchase display system for shipping and displaying articles therewithin, the display system utilizes facilitated articulation while maximizing display area, and the display system comprises at least one modular tray member. The at least one modular tray member includes an inner liner having a tray support member and a tray divider member for securing and displaying articles therein. An outer tray is operably associated with the inner liner, and the outer tray has a bottom panel, a back panel, and two side panels. Each of the side panels includes a biasable flap, which, upon articulation, covers the exposed side wall edges of both the outer tray and inner liner. Each biasable flap includes a locking tab for operably engaging a tab locking slot on the bottom panel to secure the biasable flap therein. The invention further includes a method for forming a point-of-purchase display system for shipping and displaying articles therewithin.

  • Patent number: 4934588
    Abstract: An assembled slotted partition apparatus for repeated use within three dimensional packing containers towards describing containment and cushioning regions therewithin. The apparatus is constructed so as to preclude against its own inadvertent disassembly between and during repeated uses, and relies upon the utilization of primary and secondary interlocking panel members operably receiving one another through the utilization of aligned slots. These primary and secondary interlocking members describe a partition apparatus in which all structural portions remain intact for reuse in further shipping operations, without any reassembly and/or reattachment of the primary and/or secondary panels to one another.

  • Patent number: 4795083
    Abstract: An assembled slotted partition apparatus for repeated use within three dimensional packing containers towards describing containment and cushioning regions therewithin. The apparatus is constructed so as to preclude against its own inadvertent disassembly between and during repeated uses, and relies upon the utilization of primary and secondary interlocking panel members operably receiving one another through the utilization of aligned slots. Primary and spacer locking elements align with each other upon assembly of the primary and secondary panels to describe a partition apparatus in which all structural portions remain intact for reuse in further shipping operations, without any reassembly and/or reattachment of the primary and/or secondary panels to one another.
