Patent number: 9731468Abstract: A package includes a box and a window member. The box includes a primary panel, internal panels collectively defining a chamber therebetween and adjacent the primary panel, and a face panel extending across the chamber spaced from the primary panel. The at least one of the internal panels defines a slot facing the chamber. The face panel includes a tab extending outwardly from a remainder of the face panel, and the tab is received within the slot to at least partially maintain the face panel within the chamber. The window member includes a first wall covering the chamber and a second wall extending from the first wall and positioned within the chamber. The second wall defines a free edge and a cutout extending from the free edge into the second wall. The cutout is slidably receives the tab of the face panel securely coupling the window member to the box.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2014Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: TARGET BRANDS, INC.Inventors: Jacob Streich, Dustin Berglin, Richard P.

Patent number: 9399539Abstract: A packaging wrap for hangers includes a first side and a second side. The first side includes a first bottom panel, a first front panel, a first top panel, and a first rear panel. The first side is folded to define a first closed loop with an opening extending therethrough between the first bottom panel, the first front panel, the first top panel, and the first rear panel. The second side includes a second bottom panel, a second front panel, a second top panel, and a second rear panel. The second side is folded to define a second closed loop with an opening extending therethrough between the second bottom panel, the second front panel, the second top panel, and the first rear panel. The first side is coupled to the second side via a fold line extending along a boundary between the first bottom panel and the second bottom panel.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2014Date of Patent: July 26, 2016Assignee: Target Brands, Inc.Inventors: Scott Meyer, Timothy M.

Patent number: 8052103Abstract: A product assembly includes a substantially planar product and a support wedge. The support wedge is formed separately from the substantially planar product and includes a base, two sidewalls, and two internal walls. The two sidewalls each extend from opposite sides of the base and converge toward one another as they extend away from the base. The two internal walls each extend from a side of one of the two sidewalls opposite the base. The two internal walls are substantially parallel to and spaced from one another to define a slot between the two internal walls. The substantially planar product is positioned within the slot and is held in place due to compression applied to the substantially planar product by the two internal walls. Other products, assemblies, and associated methods are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2009Date of Patent: November 8, 2011Assignee: Target Brands, Inc.Inventors: Brandon R. Ferraro, Alexander D. Ellendson, Timothy M. Magner

Patent number: 7984803Abstract: A hanging display package includes a hanger and a box. The hanger defines a top segment and a bottom segment spaced from and coupled with the top segment and includes a hook extending upwardly from the top segment. The box includes front and rear panels, a top panel extending between and above the front and rear panels, and a side panel extending from the front panel to the rear panel. A cavity is defined between the panels. The top panel borders each of the front and rear panels along first and second fold lines, respectively, and is substantially planar. The side panel defines a topmost edge spaced below the top panel such that a side opening is defined between the topmost edge and the front panel. The bottom segment of the hanger extends through the side opening. Other products, assemblies, and methods are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2009Date of Patent: July 26, 2011Assignee: Target Brands, Inc.Inventors: Neal T. Anderson, Eric Bjerstedt, Brandon R. Ferraro, Timothy M. Magner, Jeffrey P. Pratsch, Jr., Jake Strassberger, Keith C. Cedro

Publication number: 20040051008Abstract: The invention includes a stand. The stand includes a main body comprising a first component and a second component. Each component includes a wall and at least one leg extending from the wall, the leg or legs defining a sliding space. The leg or legs of the second component slide within sliding space of the first component so that the main body expands and contracts as the wall of the first component is moved farther from and closer to, respectively, the wall of the second component.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2003Publication date: March 18, 2004Inventors: Joseph Bruce Tominello, Timothy M.
