Abstract
ABSTRACT
A SALES PACK PARTICULARLY FOR CONTAINING RAZORS, RAZOR BLADES, AND SHAVING UNITS
A sales pack for containing disposable razors, or other shaving equipment, and for suspension from a display rack, is formed from a card blank of generally rectangular shape by folding to a box shape. Crease lines on the blank define the panels of the box-shaped pack. A central panel (P1) contains a slot (11) extending across the width of the blank. The razor heads of a stack of razors rest on this panel after the razor handles have been passed through the slot, and the panels (P2 - P6 and P2' - P6') of the blank are folded to embrace the razor heads and provide upstanding panels which are slotted and form a tongue which will receive the arm of a display rack.

Description
. ~
This invention relates to a sales pack in particular for containing shaving equipment, such as razor blades, shaving units, dispensers for such blades or units, razor handles and razors, more particular razors of the disposable type. Such razors are commonly made of plastics and comprise a head containing one or more blades and a handle integral with or connected tb the head, the whole razor being generally of T shape.
The pack to which the invention relates is intended for display and/or transport purposes and in particular to hold together a number of razors, for example five~ in a stack and suspend the razors from the prong or arm of a display rack According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a sales pack made of card or other relatively stiff sheet material which has been cut, folded and/or positioned, and secured in the shape of an envelope having a plurality of panels each of which is connected along its opposite edges to an adjacent panel, and a tongue extending away from one of the panels, the tongue being connected to said one of the panels along a line parallel to at least one of said edges, the tongue providing means by which the pack can readily be carried, . or suspended from an arm of a display rack.
`' According to another aspect, the present invention provides a sales pack for containing razors which comprises a box defined by panels of card or other relatively stiff sheet material and shaped to surround a stack of razor heads on four sides thereof, one of the panels having a slot therein through which the handles of the razors can project.
Possible constructions of a pack in accordance with the invention will now be described b~ way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:-Fig. 1 is a plan view of a card blank from which thepack can he formed;
Fig. 2 is a plan view of a modification of the card blank of Fig. l;
Fig. 3 is a side view of the pack folded from the card blank of Fig. 1 and containing a stack of razors, and Fig. 4 is an end view of the pack shown in Fig. 3.
The pack is formed from a generally rectangular card blank 10 which has an elongated slot 11 extending across the width of the card approximately midway between the ends of the card. This slot stops short of the sides of the card. The width o~ the slot 11 is such as to accommodate the width of one xazor blade handle and the ~,; .
length of the slot is such as to accommodate the handles ~''''. ~' .
of the stack of razors which the pack is to contain.
Slots 12, 12' are also formed adjacent the opposite ends of the blank to receive an arm of a display stand, on which packs will hang.
The blank 10 is divided into panels by crease lines L3-L6, L3'-L6' extending across the blank to enable the blank to be folded to the shape of a box. Tw opposite end panels of the blank are upstanding from the box and secured in face-to-ace relationship to form a tongue 15 so that the hanging slots 12, 12' of these panels register with one another to receive the arm of the display rack.
The panel Pl which contains the slot 11 through which razor handles extend has, at its opposlte ends, two flaps 13, 14 which can be folded about crease lines L5, L6, L5', L6' to close the ends of the box.
Considering now the steps of assembly of the pack, a group of (for example~ five razors are brough~ together in a stack with the front of each razor, except the front one of the stack, in contact with the back of the next adjacent razor. The handles of the assembled stack, which extend parallel to each other, are passed through the 510t 11 of the handle-receiving panel Pl until the underside of the head of each razor rests on this panelq The panels P2~ P2l next ad~acent the handle-receiving panel Pl are then folded about crease lines L2, L~' to stand perpendicular to the panel Pl to form sides of the :
box adjacent the opposite ends of the head of each razor.
Panels P5, P5' of the flaps 13, 14 are likewise folded about crease lines L5, L5' to stand perpendicular to panel Pl to form the ends of the box. The next adjacent panels P6, P6' of the ~laps are folded down about lines L6, L6' and then P3, P3' are folded down about lines L3, L3' toward the razor heads. At the same time as P3, P3' are folded down, the remaining two panels P~, P4l are folded in the opposite sense about lines L4, L4' until they come together in face~to-face relationship, The box can be secured in a closed state by adhesive on one or both of the adjoining faces of the panels P4, P4l or by stapling.
Although the blank has been described and illustrated in a form in which the panels are symmetrical about a central handle-receiving panel, other arrangements are possible in which the outermost panels are not those containing the hanging slots. In each case however adhesive or other means will be provided for causing the outermost panels to be secured to the remainder of the box.
The portions of panel P1 which lie at opposite ends of the handle-receiving slot 11 must be of sufficient width to give the necessary strength to the handle-receiving panel.
If it is desired that the razors should be provided ; 7 ~ with travel caps to cover the bladesj or if it is thought that there lS no need to closc the ends of the box, the , .
_ 5 flaps can be omitted as shown in the blank of Fig. 2.
This blank, when folded, will provide an open-ended boxO
As a further alternative, only one flap is providedO
This flap, when folded, will cover the otherwise exposed blade or blades of the first razor. The opposite end of the box is open since only the back of the last razor head will be exposed .
Although the pack folded from the blank of Fig. l is designed to allow razors to be transported without travel caps, such travel caps can be provided if desired~
The slots 12 which are provided to enable the packs to be hung from a rack can be omitted if the packs are to be displayed in other ways.
To enable the pack to be used as a dispenser, the flap 14 and the portion of the card between slot ll and the flap can be torn off to leave the end of slot ll open.
The razors can then be dispensed individually from the pack through the open end of slot ll. To assist in tearing open the slot, rows of perforations can be provided between the ends of the long sides of slot ll and the line L5' and outwardly along line L5'.
Instead of containing a stack of razors, as shown in Fig. 3, the pack could contain a single razor or razor handle, and a nu~mber o~ ishaving units or blades arranged , . i - loosely within the pack or secured within a dispenser. In .
., , ~.
.
. .
this event, the slot 11 could be shorter than that shown in the drawings.
As a further alternative, the upper part of panel P4' could be omitted and the remainder of panel P4l could be secured either to panel P4 or directly to panel P3.
The blank from which the pack is formed could also be modified to contain only shaving units or a dispenser for razor blades or shaving units/ to be suspended vertically.
In this event, the panel Pl together with the flaps 13, 14 would be displaced to a posi~ion close to panel P4 so that, when folded to form a pack, the panels P~ and P4' would lie in a plane parallel to panel Pl (instead of being perpendicular to Pl as shown in Fig. 3) extending, for example, in a plane through the middle of panel P2.
, .
Although reference has been made herein to a card blank, the blank could be made from other materials than card, e.g. thin metal sheeting or relatively stiff plastics sheeting.
