Abstract: A reflector-type incandescent lamp having a glass envelope with an end face or lens component that is coated with a film of colored plastic is retained within a paperboard shipping and display carton by a peripheral flange structure and an end closure that are formed by integral parts of the carton. The plastic-coated end face of the lamp envelope is protected from abrasion damage by the rough edges of the tabular members which form the retaining-flange structure by a shield-panel that also constitutes an integral part of the carton and is automatically pulled into overlapping relationship with the flange structure when the carton is erected into tubular form from collapsed condition. The shield-panel is so shaped that it provides a non-abrasive continuous pad for the coated end face of the packaged lamp.

Abstract: A wrap-around container blank is disclosed for forming a shipping container for a relatively large receptacle having an upwardly extending neck portion, characterized by the provision of three superimposed horizontal top panels for protecting the neck portion of the receptacle, thereby to permit stacking of the containers without damaging the receptacles packaged therein. A lowermost first top panel is adapted to be folded to a horizontal position adjacent the upper surface of the body portion of the receptacle, which top panel contains an opening through which the neck portion of the receptacle extends. The second and third top panels are foldable toward superimposed contiguous horizontal positions spaced above the first panel adjacent the upper extremity of the receptacle neck portion, thereby stabilizing the receptacle within the container.

Abstract: An integrated double serving package with hanger wherein a pair of bowl-like containers having removable covers are held together in a display package by a retaining sleeve which is of a polygonal cross section and including flat panels having notches therein receiving the projections of the containers and covers. The sleeve has end portions secured together by a projecting hanger portion whereby the package may be readily hung from a hook or the like for display purposes.

Abstract: A packing container for elongated objects of variable length is formed of two tubular shaped bodies each closed at one end and open at the other. One of the bodies fits into the other in a telescoping manner. In the telescoped position the inner body has a longitudinal groove extending from its open end with equidistantly spaced locking grooves opening off the longitudinally extending groove. The outer body has one or several inwardly projecting detents formed adjacent its open end. If plural detents are used, they are longitudinally aligned and arranged at the same spacing as the locking grooves. The detents are shaped to pass through the longitudinally extending groove and to fit in an interlocking manner with the locking grooves. By relative rotation of the telescoped bodies about their longitudinal axes, the detents can be moved into the locking grooves and the two bodies locked together at a selected overall length in accordance with the length of the packaged object.
