  • Patent number: 4962859
    Abstract: A fold-up blank die cut from a planar sheet of thin plastic material is readily assembled into a literature display box having rectangular bottom, front and rear walls with the rear wall being substantially higher. The side edges of the bottom wall include fold-up slit forming tabs, and the front and back walls both include side wall panels which on the edges contiguous with the bottom wall have arrowhead tabs which may be inserted into the respective slits as the front and back walls are folded up and the side wall panels folded toward each other. The side wall panels on the front wall overlap the side wall panels on the back wall, with the latter including rearwardly inclined outer edges against which the front wall abuts, and which forms a substantial continuation of the side edges of the front wall.

  • Patent number: 4938365
    Abstract: A literature display box for supporting literature on a horizontal surface includes a center and two end parts which interfit with the center part so that they may be adjusted laterally to provide lateral expansion or contraction of the box. The back and bottom of the center part are provided with guide tracks which interfit with fingers or tines projecting from the end parts. Interengaging stops preclude separation of the parts but include cam surfaces facilitating assembly. The parts include rearwardly extending legs cooperating with the lower front edge of the center part to support the display box inclined somewhat rearwardly on a horizontal surface. The parts are preferably made of durable molded plastic.

  • Patent number: 4860905
    Abstract: A display for point of purchase items or packages includes a panel such as cardboard with one or more vertical rectangular slots with display hooks for supporting such items or packages mounted on the panel in the slots. The display hooks include front and rear rectangular mounting plates interconnected by a short narrow projection. The rear plate is somewhat thinner than the front plate and extends upwardly from the projection at a slight angle toward the front plate but above the front plate and forms a pad which extends generally parallel to the front plate. The lower end of the rear plate is spaced from the top of the projection slightly less than the width of the slot. Both plates are a width slightly less than the height of the slot. In this manner the hook is inserted by turning it on its side and inserting the top of the rear plate through the slot which springs away from the front plate. When the short projection engages the side of the slot the bottom of the rear plate snaps through the slot.
