Abstract: A corner reinforcement for tarpaulins has an upper and lower plate connected by two enclosed edges forming a right angle. The reinforcement structure has an open edge that arcs back towards the corner defined by the enclosed edges and has rivet holes fixed along an arc concentric thereto. A rib positioned on the inside surface of the top plate runs along the arc defined by the rivet holes on the upper plate, while a mateable groove positioned on the inside surface of the bottom plate runs along the arc defined by the rivet holes on the bottom plate. A grommet is also provided for securing a rope to the corner of the tarpaulin. The corner of a tarpaulin is inserted through the open edge and its shape is accommodated by the right angle formed by the enclosed edges. The rivets are then fixed in place causing the rib and groove to mate, providing reinforcement to the corner.
Abstract: A combined package and display system for fabric goods includes a transparent or translucent polyethylene package, heat sealed or otherwise secured about its periphery, containing the goods and suitable advertising material. Where the product is, for example, a tarpaulin, also of polyethylene and having grommets about its periphery, and the package is formed so that its top edge is constructed as a means for attachment to a supporting surface and contains grommets of similar material and strength as those contained in the product itself. In this way, the package can be mounted for display purposes by its grommets, while the nature and quality of the grommets of the goods can be tangibly observed and felt by the prospective purchaser.
