This inventionrelates to display cards and particularly to an improved vending display card, the object being to provide a structure wherein an article may be held in position for 5 display while at the same time it is in position for vending.

Another object of the invention is to provide a display vending card wherein parts of the card are pressed out to present a holding 1| box or compartment while the remaining part presents areas for the reception of advertising matter.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a front view of a display vending .card disclosing an embodiment of the invention.

Figure 2 is a rear View of the central part of the structure shown in Figure 1 illustrating how the pressed out tongues are folded to present a retaining box structure.

Figure 3 is a sectional view through Figure 1 on line 33.

Figure 4 is a rearv view of the card shown in Figure 1 before the tongueshave been folded.

In selling razor blades or other articles, it has been found desirable to mount the article to be vended on a card which has been provided withadvertising matter and explanatory matter whereby the goods are presented in a way to display their desirabilities. Heretofore cards of different kinds have been provided for this purpose and separate boxes or containers applied in some manner to the card. This oftentimes resulted in loss of the articles by reason of the more or less rough usage through the handling of the cards bycustomers. In the present instance, these disadvantages have been overcome by forming a card which has certain parts pressed therefrom to present an enclosure or box for supporting and protecting the article to be vended. 1

the bod of the card and 2 the article or articles to be vended. In the showingin the drawings, razor blades of the safety variety are shown as being vendedand consequently the various advertising matter 3 and 4 correspond to the blades being vended. In or- In the accompanying drawings, 1 indicates der todraw attention to the razorblades, the card must be madeas ornamental as possible and consequently the advertising or other matter may be done in colors and in addition, the various tongues '5, 6, '7and, '8 are formed of a shape torpresent ornamental openings 9, 10 and 11 ,when the tongues are folded. g

In forming the tongues 5 to 8 inclusive, they are cut on three sides while at the various junctures 12, 13, 14, and 15 they are merely creased. In .addition,the various tongues are creased along lines 16, 17 18 and 19. This allows the tongues to be bent at two points as illustrated particularly in Figure 3. It will be noted'that the bending line 15 permitsthe section '20 to extend at right angles to the, body 1 and then the bending line 19 permits-the tongue 7 to extend parallel with the body 1 so that it may be readily tucked in or projected through the slot 21 in tongue 8. The tongues 5 and 6 act in a similar way ex cept that they are merelyfolded over and not interlocked as tongues 7 and8.

In applying the articles 2 to the card, they are placed in the space 22 and then the tongues 5 and 6 folded thereover. After this has been done, tongue 8 is, folded over the folded tongues 5 and'6 and finally the tongue 7 is folded to the position shown in Figure 3.

This completes the article and it is ready for display.

While in the arrangement shown in the drawings, a Maltese cross formation is provided by the openings 9 to 11 inclusive, other forms of openings may be provided by 1'6.- designing the various tongues. As illustrated in Figure 1, the various openings are preferably provided with a border line 23 and in keeping with this borderline, a border line 24: is provided around the space 22, said border line mergingat the respective corners in the. respective uncut portions 25 whereby a rectangular box-like enclosure is presented.

The front of the space 22 is preferably provided with printed matter'presenting a package so that in a limited sense this part of the card will simulate a package, of razor blades and the blades will actually be held in place by the various tongues 5 to 8 inclusive.

I claim:
