    Abstract: A display includes a bin and base disposed in angular or hinged back relation. The blank for constructing the display advantageously uses a hinge line in substantially colinear relation with first and second cut lines spaced from one another by a panel. First and second angular score lines extend from the colinear cut lines to permit a panel disposed between the angular score lines to fold therealong and bend along the hinge line.

  • Patent number: 4919263
    Abstract: A packaging assembly is adapted to protect an associated piece of furniture during shipment. The assembly includes a base member, corner posts, and a cover member received over upper ends of the corner posts. The base member includes block members disposed in the corners adapted to cooperate with the corner posts or, alternatively, adapted to receive mating block members in extension members. The extension members provide for incremental increases in the dimensions of the packaging assembly to aid in readily converting a standard packaging assembly to different sizes of furniture pieces.
