2 Cl ims: (01. 206-45) This invention relates to a combination shipping package and display case and has for its primary object, generally stated, the provision of a combination of this character made of corrugated paper, or like material, which is adapted for use. more especially for shipping and storing, as well as displaying, fiowerand garden seeds or other commodities contained in packages of the type in which such seeds are customarily sold.
' A more particular object is to provide a combination display case and shipping container of the aforementioned character which is made of light weight inexpensive material and comprises comparatively few parts all of which may be prepared'by the manufacturer and shipped to the user in the flat and in such a condition that they may be easily and quickly assembled by any unskilled laborer.
These and other objects, as well as the various other novel features and advantages of the in- .vention,.will beapparent when the following detailed description is read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein, Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a partly assembled display 1 case and shipping container therefor constructed in accordance with the invention; Fig. 2 a front elevation of the display case; Fig. 3 a sectional view taken on the line III--III of Fig. 2; Fig. 4 a plan view of the display-case supporting backrest or prop before it is folded; Fig. 5 a perspective view of the container comprising the housing of the display case with the compartment-forming fillers removed; Fig. 6 is a sectional view taken on the line VI--VI of Fig. 5; Fig. 7 a plan view of one of the transverse pocket-forming filler sections before it is folded; Fig. 8 a perspective view of the filler shown in Fig. '7 after it is folded; and Fig. 9 an elevational view of one of the vertically disposed partition strips or pocket-forming fillers. Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates an open-faced box-shaped container formed of corrugated paper board or the like which constitutes the housing of a display case such as is contemplated by this invention and which is 5 made from a single precut sheet of paper board provided with a pair-of creased flaps 2 and 3 at its upper and lower ends, for a purpose which will presently appear, and folded to shape. In such container there is provided a plurality of .0 systematically arranged vertically and transversely disposed detachable fillers 4 and 5 which form therein a plurality of pocket-like compartments 6 for the reception of various articles such as packages of flower and garden seeds, or other '55 packages of that character. The number and size of these fillers, as well as the size of the container itself, depend of course upon the size and number of compartments desired.
The vertically-disposed fillers 4 as shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 9 comprise simply a plurality of- 0' plain strips of paperboard having a length equal to the length and a width slightly less than the depth of the container 1. The side walls of the compartments 6 are formed by these strips, they being arranged in uniformly spaced parallel relation across the container and provided on their exposed edges with a series ofjequally spaced inclined slots. 7 within which the transverse fillers 5 are engaged. These latter fillers 5 are also made of plain sheets of paper board the length of which is equal to the width of the containerforming housing and the Width to the dimension required forthe depth and width of compartments 6 desired, this, of course, being limited by the 7 in the vertically-disposed fillers 4. Greases 8 and 9 are made in thesefillers parallel to the sidesthereof to facilitate their being folded into the form of an unequal-sided flat-bottomed trough, the width and length of the respective side walls of which are determined by the spacing and inclination of the slots 7 in the vertical fillers .4. The depth and slant of these slots in turn are determined by the size of the compartments required and the angle at which it is desired to support the case, the angle of their slant being such that it places the walls of the compartments in vertical planes when the case is on display. To permit thetransverse fillers being mounted in the slots 7 of the vertical'fillers, they are provided with a series of slots 11 cut through that portion thereof which forms the bottom of the trough and the part of the back wall which rests below the bottoms of the slots 7 in which the back wall of the filler rests. Through these slots 11 the portions 12 of the vertical fillers '4 disposed between the slots 7 in the latter fillers project to form the side walls of the compart ments 6.
As appears most clearly in Fig. 4, the slots 7 cut in the vertical filler sections 4 are made with a Width which is sufiicient to accommodate two thicknesses of the paper board used in making the transverse fillers 5 and in them the back and front wall portions of the adjacent transverse fillers 5 are positioned, except in the upper and lower slots where only one wall of the transverse fillers is positioned. These latter slots, however, have the same Width as the others, and in them the flaps 2 and 3 which are provided on the upper '11 10 and lower walls of container 1 are fitted when the filler assembly is placed in the container, the function of these flaps being to hold the fillers in place when the case is assembled.
For supporting the display case in an inclined upright position on the floor or on a display counter a detachable back-rest or prop 14 is pro vided, which may be removed and placed in the front of the container 1 when the latter is packaged for storage or shipment. As shown in Fig.
4, this prop comprises a strip of paper board in which a crease 15 is provided nearer one end than the other, to adapt it to be folded into the shape of a letter V, and bifurcated projections or lugs 16 and 1'7 on its ends which fit in slots 18 and 19 cut in the back of casing l. The slots 22 and 23 in these lugs 16 and 17 when in position straddle the vertical filler 4 disposed in the center of the container and aid in holding the prop in place.
For shipping and storing the above described display case, a paper board carton 20, which is adapted to just receive the container 1, is provided. This carton, like the container 1, may be made in any suitable fashion, but preferably out of a single sheet of paper board which is cut and creased in a well known fashion adapting it to be readily folded and assembled. In assembling the combined parts, the prop 14 is placed in the front of the container 1 on the top of the fillers 4 and 5 and the container 1 then slid into the carton 20 and the ends of the latter closed.
As will'be appreciated'by those skilled in the art, the parts of this construction may be all cut and creased by the manufacturer and shipped to the user in the flat as the user can easily and readily assemblethem wheneverhe desires. As is also obvious, the display case may be filled before shipment, as Well as replaced for storage purposes in the outer container if desired. In addition, it has the added advantages that it is sturdy of structure, light of weight, andcomparatively inexpensive. r
' According to the provisions" of the patent statutes, I have explained the principle and mode of operation of my invention, and have illustrated and described what I now consider to represent its best embodiment. However, I desire to have it understood that, within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically illustrated and described.
