  • Patent number: 5083663
    Abstract: A foldable display box is made from a blank so that it may be shipped flat and assembled at its point of use. The blank includes a back panel, a bottom panel and a front panel hinged together along two fold lines. A pair of side panels extends from opposite edges of the front panel. The side panels each carry a flange which extends normal to the major plane of the sides and a pair of hook-shaped detent projections face the flange. Openings are formed in the back panel which receive the detent projection. The back panel is thus captured between the flange and the detent projection, holding the display box firmly assembled. An easel panel is formed to fold out of the back and bottom panels to support the display stand on a flat surface. The easel panel is divided into two portions by a hinge or fold line, with one portion forming an upstanding leg and the other portion being connectable to the bottom of the back panel.

  • 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: 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.
