AUGUST F. MILLER, OF 'SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, ASSIGNOR TO SCHMIDT LITHOGRAPH COMPANY, A CORPORATION OF CALIFORNIA.
DISPLAY CARTON.
Application filed February 23, 1922.
To all whom it may concern-.-
Be it known that 1, AUGUST F. MILLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at San Francisco, in the county of San Francisco, State of California, have invented a new and useful Display Carton, of which the following is a specification, in such full and clear terms as will enable those skilled in the art to construct and use the same.
This invention relates to a display carton and its object is to produce a carton which is capable of being used for the display of the smaller cartons it contains durin such time as it may be necessary to have the objects in the carton on sale.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that it is a common parctice for manufacturers to supply their goods to the trade in small packages, which packages are in turn enclosed in larger ones at the rate of one, two or three dozen or more to the larger package. This larger package is frequently placed upon the counter and one of the smaller packages is taken out of the larger package and stood up for advertising purposes to aid in selling more of the smaller packages.
With the present invention the carton top is so scored and cut as to make it possible to fold it back and tuck one of its tabs into the package to provide a pocket or recess to receive one of the smaller cartons, thereby holding the carton in the desired position securely and preventing it being accidentally knocked off on to the floor or pushed away from the package it is supposed to advertise.
In the present instance a folding paper box has been used for the purpose of carrying the display, but it will be apparent that the character of box used is immaterial to the invention.
Another object of the invention is to provide the carton with means to hold the cover in the display position even when there is only one of the original objects displayed for sale, this means constituting the flap 12 and the two inside end flaps 7 and 8 as shown in Fig. 1.
Other objects of the invention will appear as the description proceeds.
An embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings in which the same reference numeral is' applied to the Serial No. 538,583.
same portion throughout, but I am aware that there may be modifications thereof.
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the carton as it appears with the top raised to produce the pocket in which the small carton is to be placed.
Fig. 2 is a sectional view of a portion of the carton showing one of the small cartons in place in the carton receiving pocket, and
Fig. 3 is a plan view of the blank used for the production of the carton and carton top.
In the present instance the box is of a well known type consisting of the bottom tab 1, back side tab 2 and top 3. The back tab 2 has end tabs 4 and 5 connected therewith and a front tab 6.
l/Vhen the box is set up the end tabs 7 and 8 and the side tab 9 on the bottom 1 may be placed within the collar or sleeve formed by the connected tabs 2, 4:, 5 and 6. The lower portion of the box is then in the position shown in Figure 1.
The top of the box has end tabs 10 and 11 and a front tab 12 which tabs are tucked into the ends and front side of the box respectively when it is filled with cartons.
Adjacent the longitudinal center of the box there are two folding creases 14 and 15, and there are two cuts 16 and 17 which extend across the two folding lines 14 and 15, and there is an additional crease at 18. The object of the cuts 16 and 17 is to provide for the production of a recess when the carton is opened.
WVhen the carton is opened the two end flaps 10 and 11 are folded straight out and the top is bent along the two folding lines 14 and 15 with the portion cut out between the two cuts 16 and 17, bent downwardly to produce a seat 19 and back 20 in the carton top. The tab 12 is then inserted in the box at the back of the packages contained therein and one of the packages is placed in the seat formed by the support 19 and back 20. When the contents of the carton have been sold, the top 3 is still retained in place, as illustrated'in Figure 1, because the flap 12 is of the same length as the sides 2 and 6, bottom 1 and the flaps 7 and 8, make the inside of the box shorter by a length equivalent to the thickness of both of said tabs 7 and 8.
It will be seen that the tabs 10 and 11 now extend outwardly across the top of the boX ends, thereby providing a support for the front of the top to aid it in carrying the load imposed upon it by the box placed in the recess from the shelf 19.
It will be seen that this carton may be printed on only one side since a portion of the top is not turned back but is turned so it will face the front.
What I claim is as follows, but various modifications may 'be made in the construction shown in the drawings and above particularly described form, within the purview of my invention:
1. A display carton blank, comprising a bottom having side and end tabs connected thereto along folding lines, means to hold the side and end tabs of the bottom erect, a cover connected to one of the side tabs along a folding line; said cover having two end tabs and a side tab along its free edge, of the same length as the bottom and sides of the box; said cover also having a pair of creases extending longitudinally the full length thereof, and a pair of free cuts ex tending transversely of the creasing lines to one side of one of them; a shorter creasing line connecting said cuts whereby when the cover is folded along its longitudinal creasing lines a shelf pocket may be produced adjacent the center of the cover and the cover held erect by the aid of its free side flap and the ends of the box.
2. In a display carton blank, a bottom having end and side tabs, means to hold said tabs erect to form the bottom of a box and a cover having end tabs and a side tab ex tending along the free edge thereof tlir same in length as thelength of the box bottom and its side tabs; said cover having two creasing lines extending the entire length of the cover and across the end tabs thereof with two free cuts extending from one of said creasing lines across and beyond the other creasing line; another creasing line connecting the ends of said cuts WliQlQlW when the box is set up and the cover folded along its longitudinal creasing lines its end tabs will project beyond the end of the box, a shelf like pocket being produced adjacent the center'of thecover and the tab along the free edge of the cover will be held in place by the ends of the box.
3. In a display carton. a top hinged thereto along one side, said top being scored along two lines and cut to produce an opening therethrough to form a recess for a package when one edge of the top is bent to a position close to the hinge edge of the top, said top having tabs at the ends to aid in supporting it when bent up for display purposes.
4-. In a display carton, a top hinged thereto along one side, said top being creased along two folding lines and cut to form a recess therein to hold a smaller carton, securing tabs at the ends of the top to aid in supporting it when folded up for display purposes, and a tab along the side of the top to hold it in a position adjacent to the other edge of the top.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 6th dav of February A. D.
AUGUST F. MILLER.
