  • Patent number: 6565228
    Abstract: A container for storing an article of clothing having a tag for displaying an individual advertisement. The container is generally rectangular with top and bottom portions. When closed the container retains its rectangular shape but it has a slanted shape when opened and the top is stored below the bottom, such that the front of the container is lower than the rear of the container. A tag is pivotally connected to the bottom of the container with a large section distally located from the pivot. When the tag is pivoted outward of the opened container, the large section of the tag is suspended outside the front wall of the container. An LED may be mounted on the tag to allow for visual perception of the advertisement at a substantial distance from the container.

  • Publication number: 20020089847
    Abstract: A slant container for storing and advertising an article of clothing comprising a top half and a bottom half. The top half has a rectangular top surface, two downwardly depending side panels and two downwardly depending end panels. The side panels at the top half slope from a larger front end panel to a smaller side end panel, while the side panels of the bottom half slope from a smaller front end panel to a larger back end panel so that with the top removed, the slant shape of the container bottom allows improved views of the contents. The bottom half has a rectangular bottom surface, two upwardly projecting side panels and two upwardly projecting end panels. The bottom half is dimensioned such that when the top half is selectively laid over the bottom half, the panels of the top half enclose the corresponding panels of the bottom half and the container has a rectangular parallelepiped shape.
