Abstract
A container for displays of goods includes a cardboard base including a first section having first slits and a second section having second slits wherein the first section is adapted to dispose in covering relationship to the second section with the first slits being aligned with the second slits; and a transparent cover including peripheral inserts adapted to insert through the first and the second slits for releasably fastening the cover, the first section, and the second section together. An article of goods is adapted to either place in a space defined by the cover and the first section or remove from the space by detaching the cover from the first section or opening the cover. A person is allowed to touch or try the article of goods by nondestructively removing the cover. Moreover, the removed article of goods can be stored in the container again.
Description
- 1. Field of Invention
- The invention relates to devices for displays of goods and more particularly to a container having a transparent plastic cover detachably secured to a cardboard base such that an article of goods stored in the container can be removed by nondestructively detaching the cover from the base and thereafter placed into same again.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Containers for displays of goods are widely used. The container has a transparent cover so that people can clearly see the content of the container and thus the people may buy it if he or she is interesting with the product. Moreover, the goods is sufficiently protected by the container.
- Typically, a manufacturing process of a container for displays of goods involves the steps of placing articles(s) of goods on a member (e.g., a sheet of cardboard), and then sealing a transparent plastic cover onto the member by heating along a periphery of the member. The container is recessed, dimensioned and shaped to fit snugly over the article(s) of goods.
- Referring to
FIG. 1 , a conventional container for displays of goods is shown. The container comprises a transparent plastic cover A having a rectangular peripheral extension B fastened on a member (e.g., a sheet of cardboard) C by heating. - The well known container has a couple of drawbacks. For example, the container is damaged once the cover A is detached from the member C by tearing for taking the goods out of the container. As a result, the container is no longer useful. Moreover, people can only see the goods stored in the container rather than are allowed to touch or try the goods. Thus, the need for improvement still exists.
- It is therefore one object of the invention to provide a detachable container comprising a base including a first section having first slits and a second section having second slits wherein the first section is adapted to dispose in covering relationship to the second section with the first slits being aligned with the second slits; and a transparent cover including a plurality of peripheral inserts adapted to insert through the first and the second slits for releasably fastening the cover, the first section, and the second section together, wherein an article of goods is adapted to either place in a space defined by the cover and the first section or remove from the space by detaching the cover from the first section or opening the cover. By utilizing the invention, the cover can be nondestructively removed so that a person is allowed to touch or try the article of goods by removing. Moreover, the removed article of goods can be stored in the container again.
- In one aspect of the invention each of the sections comprises a plurality of units.
- In another aspect of the invention the cover comprises a plurality of units wherein at least one unit is adapted to releasably secure to the sections.
- In yet another aspect of the invention the first and the second sections are fixedly secured together by applying adhesive therebetween.
- In a further aspect of the invention the first and the second sections are detachably secured together by means of tabs and holes.
- The above and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description taken with the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 10 is an exploded perspective view of a container for displays of goods according to a third preferred embodiment of the invention. - Referring to
FIGS. 2 and 3 , a container for displays of goods in accordance with the invention is shown schematically. The container comprises a sheet of elongate cardboard bent along about a transverse center line to divide into afirst section 10 having a plurality of (e.g., four) slits 11 along four sides of a virtual square, and asecond section 20 having a plurality of rectangular zones (indicated by dash lines) 21 also along four sides of a virtual square. The container further comprises a transparentplastic cover 30 shaped as a hollow square member having fourrectangular inserts 31 extended out of four sides. The first andsecond sections slits 11 and thezones 21 being aligned. - Referring to
FIGS. 5 and 6 in conjunction withFIGS. 2 and 3 , a person may place an article ofgoods 50 into thecover 30. Next, align theinserts 31 with theslits 11 prior to inserting through theslits 11 and thezones 21. Finally, bend theinserts 31 outward prior to securing to an underside of thesecond section 20 by applying adhesive thereto for fastening thefirst section 10, thesecond section 20, and thecover 30 together. As a result, a complete container is formed. Note that theinserts 31 may be secured to the underside of thesecond section 20 by means of clips, pins of the like without departing from the scope of the invention. - Referring to
FIG. 4 in conjunction withFIGS. 5 and 6 , the cover comprises afirst member 41 and asecond member 42. An intermediate bending line (as indicated by dash lines) 43 and twoside lines 44 are formed along a joining line of thefirst member 41 and thesecond member 42. Thefirst member 41 comprises tworectangular inserts 45 extended out of a lower edge. Theinserts 45 are adapted to insert through theslits 11 and the zones (not shown) for fastening thefirst member 41, thefirst section 10, and thesecond section 20 together (seeFIG. 4 ) as described above. To the contrary, a user may pull theinserts 45 out of theslits 11 and the zones to expose the article of goods 50 (seeFIG. 5 ) prior to removing (seeFIG. 6 ). - The container of the invention has the following advantages. The cover can be nondestructively removed so that a person is allowed to touch or try the article of goods by removing. Moreover, the removed article of goods can be stored in the container again after using. This can maintain a product in a good condition for using again in the future. The container can be reused rather than discarded. Hence, the container causes no damage to the environment.
- Referring to
FIG. 7 , the cover comprises afirst unit 61 and asecond unit 62. Thefirst unit 61 is detachable. Thefirst unit 61 has tworectangular inserts 611 extended out of a lower edge. Theinserts 611 are adapted to removeably insert through the slit and thezones 612 of thesections goods 70 stored in the cover can be removed or placed into again after using. In short, the cover comprises a plurality of units in which at least one unit has two or more inserts adapted to removeably insert through the slit and the zones of the sections. - Referring to
FIG. 8 , the first section comprises threeseparate units peripheral inserts 101 of thecover 100 are adapted to removeably, completely, or partially insert through thezones 821 of thesecond section 90 for fastening. Moreover, each of the first and second sections can be comprised of at least one component. - Referring to
FIG. 9 , a second preferred embodiment of the invention is shown. The characteristics of the second preferred embodiment are detailed below. Thecover 131 can be removeably secured to thefirst section 110. Thefirst section 110 has sixholes 111 spaced along an edge. Thesecond section 120 has sixtabs 121 spaced along an edge. Thetabs 121 are adapted to releasably insert into theholes 111 for fastening. - Referring to
FIG. 10 , a third preferred embodiment of the invention is shown. The characteristics of the third preferred embodiment are detailed below. The first section comprises three spacedcomponents second section 150 by attaching to quick fastening members (e.g., parallel lines) 151 on a front surface of thesecond section 150 by pressing. Onecomponent 161 of the cover can be releasably secured to thefirst section 140. - While the invention herein disclosed has been described by means of specific embodiments, numerous modifications and variations could be made thereto by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention set forth in the claims.
