My invention relates generallyAto receptaclesfor the displaying, dispensing; and f transportation of articlesof merchandise-and is particularly adaptable: to articles: such 'as Upon their arrival, 'the dealer 'inust: unpack the articles, sort themvout as to sizezand arrange them on his shelfor otherwise-provide'fortheir display. This is usually done by piling them one on 3 rows or placing them insuitable containers. v "It-is to eliminate. this unnecessary handl-in'gof the articles that my inventionis I directed- I have provided a suitable container in which a representative assortment :of sizes or kinds'of articles may be placed at the factory, large numbers: of the packages be These packages i'ng made upat one time.

in a convenient place in the store and dispense the'articles directly from it as the occasion requires.

[The receptacle, of course-, -inay' be'de'corated-inany desired manner, the front=fiap I6 thereof be 'ing especially 1 suitable for advertising-inatter pertaining to the.- articlesin! the container.

i so i a b'ox li'ke" structure. 1, comprising the botthatv the film cartons or other articles may be Withdrawn one at a time from the bottom of the receptacle.
Referring now to Figure 6, it will be noted that the rear wall 4 of the receptacle has attached thereto, the channel members 11 preferably of heavy card board folded to the shape shown, and glued or otherwise secured to the back of the container. These backing pieces 11 are reinforced and held rigidly in position by means of spaced member 12 lying between the flanges of the strips.
These backing strips 11 are shouldered as: shown clearly in Figures 5 and 6 where- 1 by'the depth of the receptacle is varied in steps from one end totheother. The purpose of'thisconstruction is to adapt thereontainer to receive articles of varying lengths and at the same time to permit the front ends of such articles to align flush with the front o fthe box.
' Partitions-are provided within the receptacle of suitable varying sizes and widths to' accommodate the articles placed thereon in rows or piles as shown clearly in Figure 3. The preferred form of partition is illustrated iuFigures -1 to 5 inclusive and com prises a single strip of card board or other suitable material, properly scored and cutfor folding into the form shown in Figure 3. Aseparate strip is'usually provided for forming the partitions of each different size desired. Referring now to Figure 2, it will be seen that the strip 13 is scored .at the points 14 to, provide the relatively wide sections 15 and the relatively narrow sections 16.5 The sections 15 are provicleclwith end fiaps'l'l'formed in pairs and separated from each other'down to the width of the strip of'material13. When the strip isffolded atthe points of scoring, the relatively large sections 15 are folded-together to form a double wall on either side of the compart- 'ments formed thereby, with the relatively narrow sections 16 as the back or bottom thereof; Sections 16 define the width of the compartments andiareof such width as to permit the insertion of'an article of given size. The widths vary'in accordance with the size of the compartment desired as illustrated clearly in Figures 1 and 3. Such arrangement is particularly desirable in connection with a package for photographic film in View of the varyingsize of cartons in which the film is placed for sale. It will be observed that the smallest partitions are provided at the point in the container where the backing members 11 are the highest. This because the smallest articles in width,
and lengths and permits their being stacked in the carton or container with their front ends flush with the front of the receptacle.
Referring again to Figure 2, when the strip has been folded up in the manner indicated to form the partitions, the end flaps 17 are folded over laterally at each end to form top and bottom walls for the compartments. This is shown clearly in Figure 3 and in detail in Figure 4. Such arrangement not only strengthens the structure of the compartments by makingthem more rigid and less susceptible to bending and getting out of shape, but also providesa means by which the partition strips may be glued or'otherwise secured to the, top and bottom walls of the receptacle,
The strip 13 is also apertured at spaced intervals along the lower edge as at 18,'centrally with relation to thepoints atwhich the sections 5 arescored. These; apertures.
provide the cut away portions'19 atthe lower end of each partition, and permit the taking hold of the lowermostarticle in each compartment for. removal. The end walls 3 of the receptacle are similarly cut away as at 20 for the same purpose. The fact that the front "flap is hinged, however, permits its being raised to reload the container when necessary. It is understood, ofcourse, that when using the receptacle as a'dispenser, the pulling out of the lowermost article inany compartment results in the lowering of the next article-above to the position occupied by that one removed. In this manner, clean,
fresh, stock is always available and'such arrangement is especially valuablein connection with film as the same can be dispensed in, accordance withits age, that is the older stock being the firsttaken out.
A modified form of partition construction is illustrated in Figures 7 and 8' and in which case each partition is a separate piece ofcard board or other material comprising Such construction,
a side wall or. partition 21 having endflaps V 22 of the proper length and size in accordance with the size of the-article to be fitted within the compartments. In thisiconstruc tion, the flaps 22 are folded over laterally to the partition walls 21 and glued or otherwise secured against the backing members 11. Top and bottom flaps23 may also be provided on these partition members for engagement against thetop' and bottom walls of the receptacle.
From the foregoing construction, it will be apparent that my improved container is not only suitable asa display unit or box, but provides a substantial, economical carton or package in which the articles maybe packed for shipment, and which can be placed in immediate use as a dispenser and I claim 10 advertising device Without further handling A receptacle comprising a box, vertical of the articles on the part of the dealer. partition members in said box forming a.
Of course, many changes in details of conplurality of sets of compartments varying 5 struction and operation may be made Within depth and Width, backing members for out departing from the scope of my invensaid portions extending across all of said 15.
