Abstract: A package for the complete and protective enclosure of an article is described in which the article is fully enclosed by a continuous surface of rigid or semi-rigid material so as to form a housing. The housing is banded by a section of sufficiently reduced wall thickness to permit the frangible separation of the housing into two segments which are then drawn apart with the enclosed article being engaged by one of the segments for withdrawal from the other segment. The article can be fully assembled or partially assembled while in the package and means are described in the latter instance for dispensing the fully assembled article automatically in the course of removing it from the package.

Abstract: A transparent, vertically disposed, upwardly opening, rigid container including a base, and a protective, elongated, tubular outer envelope of diamond-like mesh, one end of which extends across said base and the sides of which cover the outer surface of the rigid side walls of the container in close, yieldable engagement therewith. A longitudinal extension of said envelope, open at its end, extends over the upper edges of said side walls and into said container to its lower end providing a withdrawable liner.

Abstract: A display carton for deformable dispensing tubes in which the tube is oriented with the cap down in an opening formed in the front of the carton, with an inwardly folded flap at the bottom thereof on which the tube cap rests. The crimped base of the tube is held in position between opposed sections of the front of the carton above the opening, the opposed sections formed by a line cut and separated to exert a shearing force on the crimped end of the tube. Also disclosed is a locking flap positioned to restrain the crimped end of the tube from moving inward by holding the tube in position in the carton.

Abstract: A transparent security container for an article to be displayed, such as a tape cassette. The container includes an anti-theft device such as a microwave reradiator which triggers an alarm if it enters a microwave field. The container includes a pair of spaced key slots associated with clips for retaining the cassette. A release device at the checkout station permits easy release of the cassette. The container may then be reused.

Abstract: The invention relates to a container with a pocket for holding pills and the like. A pocket member is formed within a container and is adapted to hold a number of pills or the like being held by the main body of the container. This allows an individual to separate out a daily dosage of pills in the pocket from the rest of the pills in the container in order to facilitate prevention of taking two few or too many pills. A single cap may close both the pocket and the main body of the container.

Abstract: An elongated flexible tube is formed with a plurality of sealing lines transversely of the tube in spaced apart relationship, a discontinuous cut line in the middle of each of the sealing line transversely of the tube and a discontinuous cut line in the shape of a continuous wavelike curve positioned transversely of the tube at the middle of the portion defined by each two adjacent sealing lines. The wavelike cut line defines at least two crest portions at the opening of each of a pair of inner bags to be formed on the opposite sides of the wavelike cut line. The inner bags, thus formed in a great number in a continuous tubular arrangement, can be separated along the cut lines for use.

Abstract: A display container comprising a molded plastic base having spaced elongated oval sides tapering to a open curved front end and a larger curved rear end. A bottom wall extends integrally from the periphery of the sides in a continuous length from a point on the top adjacent the front, around the front end, along the bottom, around the rear end, and on to the top. The opening extends from the front to the rear edge of this wall. The sides have opposed grooves extending adjacent the edges. A plastic flexible cover is slidably mounted in the grooves so that when it is pulled forwardly against the front edge of the wall, the container is closed, and when it is pushed rearwardly, the container is opened. An elongated bar is pivotally mounted adjacent the front end. A support extends from the bar designed to hold an article, such as a travel clock, or a watch, for display.

Abstract: A jewelry display and packaging box has a bottom and a cover connected together by a hinge for swinging to open and closed positions. The bottom has an upwardly facing display panel on which a piece of jewelry is detachably supported in a display position. The cover has a large concavity therein which faces toward the box bottom in the closed position of the cover. A jewelry support is mounted on the box and has one or more jewelry supporting portions which are disposed in spaced relation to the walls of the concavity, and above the level of the panel. The portions are arranged to suspend one or more articles of jewelry in spaced relation above, and in overhanging relation to, that portion of the display panel which is adjacent the hinge, and so that the articles extend partway into the concavity and hang in spaced relation to the concavity walls and can dangle and swing freely, whereby rays of light reflected and refracted from each dangling article continuously shift directions.
