BYRON 1B. GOLDSMITH, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

SHIPPING AND DISPLAY BOX.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 9 1915.

Application filed January 13, 1913, Serial No. 741,823. Renewed-July 30, 1914. Serial No. 854,168.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BYRON B. GOLDSMITH, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shipping and Display Boxes; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will en able others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My present invention relates to an improved form of box, for'shipping and dis-, playing pencils, penholders, or other articles of a shape suitable for display in the manner hereinafter described.

' Preferred forms of the device are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure l is a perspective view of a box containing pencils, Fig. 2 is a central section of the same and'Fig. 3 is a'side view of a modification of the improved box.

The box in question comprises three parts. Two of these parts, shown at 10 and 11 are hinged together in any well known manner, and are so formed that, when brought in line as shown in Fig. 2,-they form a continuous container of uniform cross section, preferably rectangular and preferably closed at one end. The third part is an inner slide 12, adapted to be pushed into the open end of the outer container, and to pass through the part 10 and project into'the part 11'.

The pencils, or other articles carried, lie

within the inner slide.

When the parts are in the position shown in Fig. 2, the inner slide keeps the parts 10 and 11 firmly in line, and a strong stifl box is produced which is well fitted for shipping purposes. At the same time, when these boxes are received by the retailer, they permit attractive exhibition of the contents on a counter without their transfer, .To accomplish. this, the slide is sufiiciently withdrawn to permit the parts 10 and 11 to move relative to each other around their hinge 13, after which the slide 12 is again pushed home, until the articles 14: pro ect into view, when the whole can be set up in easel form, as shown in Fig. 1. In this position,-the projectings'lide 12 prevents collapse of the easel. Of course the whole can be restored instantly to shipping position at any time.

In the form shown in Fig. 1, the, sepa ration between the parts 10 and 11 is made upon a line oblique to the length of the box.

Various changes can be made in the construction of this box, and, as illustrative of suchchanges, I have shown a box in Fig. 3, wherein the line of division is at right angles to the length of the box. Also it is not as sential that either end of the outer container should be closed.

What I claim is-,

l. A combined shipping box and display frame, comprising a container made in two parts movable angularly with respect to each other, and an inner slide fitting said container and made long enough to slide through one of the parts of said container and project into the other part, substan tially as described.

2. A combined shipping box and display frame consisting of a container made of two parts hinged together, and an inner slide fitting said container and long enough to slide through one of said parts andinto the other, substantially as described.

3. A combined shipping box and display frame consisting of a container made of two parts hinged together, one of which is closed at its outer end only, and the other of which is open at both ends, and an inner slide adapted to hold said parts in 'alinement when slipped into the open end ofone part and caused to project into the other part,

substantially as described. I,

4. A display package, comprising a tray and a separable jacket into which said tray is adapted to slip lengthwise having a pin rality of sections movably joined end to end together to permit of placing one of them at an angle below said tray and supporting it while the adjacent section embraces it.

5. A display package, comprising a tray and a separable jacket into which said tray removed from said tray to swing down support said tray in inclined position while said tray is projecting upwardly from the othersection. i Q H 7-. A display package comprising a tray, a

jacket into whichsaid tray is" adapted to,

slip longitudinally, said jackethaying a pair of, sectionshingedend to end together, the 'jo'intbetween said sections being at an angle,

whereby one section is adapted whensaid tray is withdrawntherefrom'and left projecting upwardly from the other section, to
