Abstract
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A display package for a video tape cassette includes a container having a first color pattern formed of vertical stripes in a parallel and abutting relation with each stripe being of a different color; and a thin transparent sheet sur-rounding the container and having a substantially transparent second color pattern which at least partially overlaps the first color pattern to form a third color pattern, the second color pattern being formed of a plurality of horizontally arranged stripes in an abutting and parallel relation, with each stripe being of a different color so that the third color pattern is formed in a checkerboard-like arrangement.

Description
'73~3 BACKGROU~3 OF T~IE INV~TION
Field of the Invention This invention relates generally to display packages - and, more particularly, is directed to a display package for a tape cassette having a decorative color pattern.
Description of the Prior Art Display packages which contain magnetic tape cassettes are well-known in the art. Such display packages axe generally comprised of a container made, for example, from a cardboard-like or pl.astic mate-Lial, having a colo-r pa~-~e-~n prin~ed ~h~reorl. B~
sides being decorative in nature, the color pattern may also be used to identify the tape program, the ~ape length, the manufacture of the tape cassette and the like. A thin transparent material, such as cellophane or a plastic material, surrounds and overlays the aforementioned container to provide a protective seal for such container. In this manner, ~he ~ape cassette cannot be removed from the container unless the protective sheet is first removed.
It may be desirable, howeverj to change the color pattern, for example, for different tape cassettes. With the aforementioned arrangement, a new and different printing operation for the con~ainers must be performed for each such change. This, of course, results in added expense.
OBJECTS AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
- Accordingly, it is an object o this invention to provide a display package that avoids the above-described difficulties encountered with the prior art.
More particularly, it is an object of this invention to provide a display package having a color pattern which can easily be changed without undue expense.
~.iL'731~3¢P3 It is another object of ~his invention to provide a display package comprised of a container having a firs~ color pattern thereon and a substantially transparent sheet having a second color pat~ern thereon which, when overlapping ~he firse color pattern, forms a third desired color pattern.
In accordance with an aspec~ of this invention, a dis-play package includes ~ container having a ~irst color pattern thereon, and a thin sheet surrounding the container and having a substantially transparent second color pattern thereon which at least partially overlaps the first color pattern ~o orm a t~ird eclor pattern.
~ ore particularly, there îs provided:
. A display package suitable for packing a tape cassette comprising: `
a container sf rectangular shape having a first opaque color pattern thereon, said first color attern including a plurality of abutting colored stripes; and a plastics sheet surrounding said container and having a substantially transparent second color pattern thereon which at least partially overlaps said first color ~attern, said second color pattern including a plurality of abutting colored stripes with at least one of said colored stripes of said second color pattern ovarlapping at least one differentlv colored stripe of .~aid first color pattern so as to form a third color pattern.
The above, and other, objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the ensuing detailed description which is to be read in connection with the accompanying drawings.
BR EF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRA~IN~S
Fig. 1 is a p~rspective view of a container having a first color pattern thereon for use in a display package according ~/
738¢~3 to one embodiment of the present invention;
Fig. 2 is a transparent sheet blank having a second color pattern thereon for use in a display package according to one em-bodiment of the present invention; and Fig. 3 is a display package accordin~ to one embodiment of the present invention having a third color pat~ern formed thereon.
~ETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring ts the drawings in detail, and initially to Fig. 1 thereof, there is shown a container or case 1 whieh is adapted to store a t~pe cassette 5, such as a video or audio tape cassette, therein. Plefer~bly, c~ntainer 1 is constructed from a -3a-~'73~3 cardboard-like or plastic material. The container also preferably includes an indication of the tape progra~, th~ tape length, the type of tape, the manufacturer, such as SONY,~and the like pre-printed thereon. A distinctive first color pattern 2 is pre-prin~ed on container 1 and may also be used to indicate the tape program, the type of tape stored therein, and the like to enable the buyer to readily determine which tape cassette to purchase. In the embodi-ment shown in Fig. 1, the first color pattern 2 includes four parallel and vertical color stripes arranged in an abutting relation and having a first violet color stripe 2a, a red color stripe 2b, an orange color stripe 2c and a yellow rolor strip~ ~d.
Referring now to Fig. 2, there is shown an envelope or _ blank for a thin, transparent sheet 3, preferably of a plastic or a regenerated cellulose material such as Cellophane ~ which is bo be wraPped about container 1.
The dashed lines 6 in Fig. 2 represent the fold lines of the blank for wrapping the la~ter about container 1. As shown in Fig. ~, transparent sheet 3 has a striped color pattern which is substantially transparent and is formed as a striped pattern in the horizontal or ~ransverse direction when sheet 3 is wrapped about container ~.
In particular, color pattern 4 is formed by four parallel and horizontal color stripes arranged in an abutting relation and having a first yellow color stripe 4a, an orange color stripe 4b, a red color stripe 4c and a ~iolet color stripe 4d.
To assemble the display package according ~o this inven-tion, transparent sheet 3 is wrapped about container 1 and the un-attached edge portions of the sheet are heated, whereby the heated portions partially melt to completely enclosP or surround container 1 and tape cassette 5 therein. I~ should be appreciated that the heating operation resul~s in the shrinkage of transparent sheet 3 738~3 so that the latter forms a close and tight contact with container 1.
The overlaying of the second color pattern 4 of transparent sheet 3 onto the first color pattern 2 of container 1, whereby the stripes of each color pattern cross each other, results in a third color pattern which, as shown in Fig. 3, is formed in a checkerboard-like arrangement.
It is therefore possible to obtain 24 different colored sections or boxes for the display package, although many other arrangements are possible with the present invention. It should be appreciated, however, that color patterns other than the above-described striped patterns, can be utilized with this invention.
For example, it may be desirable to use a circular color pattern.
A1SOJ as previously discussed, the color pattern printed on container 1 may contain information, concerning the tape program, the tape length, and the like. As shown in Fig. 3, color pattern 4 does not completely overlap color pattern 2, ~hat is, a small portion at the up~er end of color pattern 2 remains exposed. This, of course, may be used to designate such information about the tape length, tape program and the like. It should also be appreciated that the formed checkerboard-like color pattern may also be used to designate such information. In any event, the checkerboard-like pattern can easily be modified merely by wrapping container 1 with a sheet 3 having a different color pattern.
Having descrihed a specific preferred embodiment of the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to that precise embodi-ment, and tha~ various changes and modifications may be effected therein by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
