To allwhomz'tma'y contern:

- Be it known that vI, ALBERT J Y .GANz,

citizen of United States-off'America, re-

siding at 1505 Charlotte Street, New York city, in the county of 'Bronx and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Shipping,

Dispensing, and Display Boxes or Cartons, of which the follow'mg' is a,spec1fication,

reference being had therein to the accom-g panying drawings, I I r This invention relates to a combined shipping, dispensing and. display 'box or carton and it has for its object the provision of an improved device of this nature constructed lnsuchmanner that it may be formed from a single piecev of heavy paper or like material and will serve hot on y as a container for apluralityofpackages or articles during shipment, but maybe used to display said articles in theistore and Will permit of the ready dispensing of the article from thepackage wit in the carton. J Further objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in $18 detailed description which follows. v

.In the accompanying drawings:

Fig. lis aperspective view of at package constructed in accordance with the invention showing the same set up to display the contents thereof; Fig.2 is a perspective view looking from the rear of the package; 1. I

Fig. 3 is a plan view showing the package in. its closed condition and illustrating/ by dotted lines how the wings and easel may be' swung out to display position;

Fig. ,4 is a plan view of the blank from which the entire carton is formed;

' Fig.5 ,is a perspective view showing the initial step in placing the articles to be displayed and vended in the carton; and

succeeding-step in the assembly of the carton.

Like numerals designate corresponding parts'throughout the several figures of the drawings. h

Referring to the drawings and part1cularly to Fig. 4 it will be seen that the entirepackage is made from a blank consisting of a front 5 which is'separatedby the scored lines 6 from wings 7. When these wings are brought to the. position illus- 4 see Fig. '1, and this strip in turn is separated out .0pen-' Fig. 6 is a perspective View showing a* trated inFigs. 1 and 2 they serveto aid in supporting the .carton in upright position so that the packages 8 which are to be displayed and ven'ded will be brought into" View through a sight opening 9 formed in 0 the front 5. The wings 7 not only serve th function of a support but they add toQth ornamental nature of the article and may be printed, embossed or lithographed with such ornamental designs and. advertising matter as may .be desired, in the production of an attractive package. The front 5 7 is separated by a scored line 10 from a strip 11 ;which constitutes the top of the carton, o

by ascored line 12 fromthe back 13 of the carton. The front 5 is further separated by a scored line 14 from a strip 15 which constitutes the bottom of the carton and the strip 15 is in turn separated by a scored 'line 16 from a tab 17, the latter being provided with ears 18 which are adapted-to enter. the slits -19 formed in the back 13. 'The tab 17 carries an easel wing 20 which 'wlien brought to the position illustrated .in Fig. 2 prevents the device from tipping over rearwardly. This eas'el wing is formed by suitably cutting the blank and normally the easel 20 lies flush with and constitutes t a part of the blank, but when brought to the position illustrated in Fig. 2, an opening 21 is left through the tab 17 so that a merchant may, through this opening and through a corresponding and alined'opening 22 formed in the rear wall 13, have .access to the packages 8, for a purpose presently to be described. The back 13 is separated by the scored lines 25 and 26 from the strips 27 and 28 "which constitutes the sides of the. completed carton and-these strips are in turn separated by the scored lines 29 and 30 from wings 31 and 32. Recessed portions 33 are formed-beneath the lower 26 and then the wings 31 and 32 are folded over upon the packages. When the front 5 is folded over upon the wings 31 'and 32 th strip 15, is folded over to constitute the bottom of the package and the wings 1 8 are inserted in the slit 19,'as illustratedain Fig 2. During shipment the wings 7 may be folded over upon the front 5, as illustnated in Fig. 6, N n

WVith the carton set up the packages 8 are visible through the sight opening 9 as before stated. Additionally, the line of division between the inner ends of the low-- ermost packages is exposed through the openings 21 and 22. and the merchant may, by inserting a knife blade or the finger nail between the ends of the packages, eject the packages through the opening 34 to dispense the same, it being apparent that when the lowermost package is ejected the next higher pack-age will iinmediately fall into position to be ejected through the opening 34. r

To prevent accidental discharge of the packagesthrough the openings 34, tongues 35 are formed at the lower end of the side Walls 27 and 28. These tongues swing out Wa-rdly when the packages are ejected but puttingsuch frictional resistance upon the packages as to prevent their accidental disodgnient.

From the foregbin description it'will be seen that cartons 0 this nature may be shipped in large quantities and inthe form of containinga plurality of articles and havingan aperture in its front side, adoor oneach side of said aperture, said doors presenting relatively large Isprfaces for the display of advertising matten c a 2. A shipping and display cartoii capable of containing a plurality of articles and having an aperture formed in one side, said aperture being. of small area relative to said side, and a door on each side of said aper ture and integral with said carton.

3. Acarton adapted to serve as a container for a plurality of articles during transportation and as a sales device, said carton having an aperture in its front wall and doors 1 ing an aperture formed in its front w'all,

and doors integral with said wall and adapt, ed to present a continuous surface for the reception of advertising matter, said doors being also capable of serving as props to maintain the carton in an upright'position.

5. A paper carton made from a single blank of paper and comprising a front Wall having a sight opening, a rear wall having a central opening through which the packages are accessible foi'engagementby the fingers and a side wall having a discharge opening 'formed therein through which the packages may be thrust when engaged through the opening of the rear wall.

'Z. A structure as recited inclaim 6 comprising interengaging elements formed complementally' upon theifl'ap and the rear wall for securing these parts together. I

8. A structure as recitedin claim 6 comprising interengaging' elements formed coniplementallyi upon the flap and the rear wall for securing these parts together, said flap f and wall having alined openings formed therein'adjacen't the bottom of thecartbn to permit access to packages contained in the cartqn for the purpose of ejecting said packages.

9.
