ATTOR Patented Nov. 17, 1931 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE i FRANK W. MARSH, OF DAN'VERS, MASSACHUSETTS CONTAINER FOR USE IN PACKING AND HANDLING MERCHANDISE Application filed September 17, 1928. Serial No. 306,488.
so constructed and assembled together that the contents of the unit cartons may be displayed for advertising and shown to customers without being removed therefrom and the size and shape and all individual characteristics of the articles may be observed without eflort. My device also assures safety against breakage of the contents, minimizes expense in packing; and provides a combination of economy, safety, store decoration, window display value, general sales appeal and the delivery of properly made contents. Also visual inspection of contents and complete tests of the same, electrical and otherwise, may be made without removing contents from the individual carton.
In the drawings that accompany and are made a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my combination set up so as to display the contents thereof; Figure 2 is a perspective view of a unit carton and contents; Figure 3 is a side view of a unit carton and contents; Figure 4 is a rear View of the bottom of the large carton, showing apertures therein, all other parts being omitted; and Figure 5 is a detail of a pattern of a unit carton showing positions of the apertures therein. Figure 6 is a front view of bottom of the container with back, the back walls of the individual cartons resting thereon, all other parts being omitted; Figure 7 is a rear perspective view of container with individual cartons positioned therein,
' the whole being set up for display purposes I provide a plurality of unit cartons 1. Each unit carton is provided with lateral apertures 2, that is to say, in each of the four sides of a unit carton are openings as shown in Figures 2 and 3. The openings in each carton are preferably cut or stamped out before the carton is made up in its final form for use, (see Figure 5) and they are so out that when the carton is made up, onehalf of each opening will be in a side of the carton; the result being that there will be two openings in each side when the carton has been made to assume its final shape, (see Flgure 3). The shape and size of the apertures may be varied as desired. My illustrat ons show a form of aperture with stra ght parallel ed es, but I do not mean to l1m1t myself to t is shape. The cartons and apertures being of uniform size and shape, it will be found that when two or more cartons are placed side by side as shown in Figure 1, the apertures in a side of each carton in the row will form continuous apertures with those in the adjacent cartons, and that these apertures are of the same size and shape as the apertures cut in each carton before assembling. This is true of all sides of the cartons, so that the sides are interchangeable when the unit cartons are assembled in the large carton.
I provide a large carton 3 of sufficient size to hold a plurality of the unit cartons 1. In the bottom of the large carton 3 I provide apertures 5, similar to the apertures in the unit cartons, but so cut that when the unit cartons are assembled in the large carton the apertures 5 in the large carton will be positioned in a direction opposite to the apertures 2 in the front walls of the unit cartons but lying in the same direction as the openings in the rear walls of the unit cartons as shown in Figures 6 and 7. Upon assembling the unit cartons in the large carton the effect is that of lattice work encasing the articles contained in the unit cartons. The articles may be seen clearly through the apertures. For display purposes, a light placed as indicated in Figure 7 will shine through the apertures in the cgntainer unobstructed by the apertures in the rear walls of the unit cartons. Daylight will pass through in the same manner. Also the unit cartons may be handled individually and the articles therein may be examined from all sides without being removed therefrom.
The large carton 3 may be of any well known form, with turn-back cover 6 and may be provided with supports 7 at the back for setting up in display osition and when the unit cartons are assem led therein the whole makes a unique and attractive appearance.
