  • Patent number: 4011946
    Abstract: A merchandise packaging and display device for floor mats, and the like. The device comprises a sheet of paper board shaped to be folded over a marginal edge portion of a floor mat and which is then secured thereto by staples. The paper board has a slot for receiving the neck of a hanger by means of which the assembly may be suspended from a horizontal pole or bar. The hanger has arms which extend outwardly from the base of the neck portion and fit within the space between the top edge of the mat and the folded portion of the paper board. Sufficient clearance is provided so that the hanger may be rotated with reference to the paper board support, whereby the neck and head of the hanger may be moved into a position where they lie substantially flush with the paper board support, so as to reduce the over-all size of the carton in which the mats may be transported. The assembly enables mats to be displayed vertically.
