Claims. (Cl. 20679) This invention relates generally to an article of manufacture and more particularly to a device or assembly for holding, shipping and displaying a multiplicity of articles such as receptacles.
An object of the invention is the provision of a self-contained advertising display card, plate or board for removably holding articles such as containers upon it by interengagement of pro- The card II is preferably formed in a single piece by a suitable stamping or cutting operation from suitable material such as stifi cardboard. By the same or an additional operation are formed a series of parallel rows of article or 5 container receiving openings I3, three rows of four openings each being exemplified in Fig. 1. Each of these openings I3 is defined by opposed parallel vertical edges I4 which merge at their jecting parts or flanges on the articles to be held extremities into rounded corner edges I5. 10

Between 5 sion of a display card of simple construction which the bottom rounded edges I5 the material of the is particularly adapted for use with containers card is projected upwardly to form a relatively formed with projecting edges, joints or flanges wide container engaging flange or tongue I8, such as end seams or the like, or counter sunk which is bent or creased along a horizontal line or recessed ends, the projecting edges of the I 9, parallel with the edge I I, so that the wider 20 container cooperating with projecting tongues or tongue I8 is divided into a vertical tongue porflanges formed in the card for holding and locktion 2| and a horizontal tongue portion which ing the containerswithin openings formed in the latter can be projected outwardly at a substancard. tially right angle to the vertical tongue portion to Still another object of the invention is the proform a container supporting shelf 22. 25

I) joined by two rounded narrow sides c and also 35 Numerous other objects and advantages of the having countersunk or recessed end closures d invention will be apparent as it is better undersecured to the open ends f the body A by crimpstood from the following description, which, ing or seaming or in y i bl manner to taken in connection with the accompanying provide with the body walls one form of projectdrawing, discloses a preferred embodiment ing edges 1' jo nts 6 (Fig. 2). Other forms of 40 thereof, projecting edges or joints may be provided read- Referring to the drawing: ily by various and well known modes of forming Figure 1 is a front perspective view of a display end closures and joining them with the body card or article holding device embodying the walls. In the container illustrated one end 010- instant invention; sure is formed with a dispensing opening, closed 45 Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view taken subby means of a friction plug C, which is one of stantially along the line 2-2 in Fig. 1; and many suitable closures which may be employed Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view taken subwith containers having projecting edges or stantially along the line 3-3 in Fig. 2. flanges.
The display device is closed in the drawing as a To assemble the container A with the display 50 preferred embodiment of the invention, comprises a display card or plate II (Fig. 1) of substantially rectangular shape and dimensioned to hold a predetermined number of articles such as containers for shipment or display.
card or holder H, the projecting upper edge or flange e, formed by the rear wall b and the recessed top closure d, is slipped behind the depending tongue I6, the edge I! of the latter preferably contacting with the horizontal panel of the top closure d. The projecting lower edge or flange e, formed by the rear wall D and the recessed bottom closure 11, is inserted behind the vertical part of the tongue I8, so that the corner in the tongue I8 formed by the parts 2I and 22 engages the corner formed by the recess of the bottom closure and the horizontal or shelf part 22 of the tongue I8 lies fiat against the flat panel of the bottom closure and the free edge of the tongue I8 contacts with the projecting lower edge or flange e formed by the front wall a and the recessed bottom closure. Thus positioned, the container body A extends partially through the opening I3, opposed wall parts of the container body contacting with the vertical edges I4 and being supported thereby.
It will thus be seen that cooperation exists between the upper and lower tongues I6 and I8 and the opening I3 and the side edges I4 to securely clamp the container A in assembled or locked position. The tongue I6 resists upward andforward shifting, the tongue I8 through its vertical and horizontal parts resists downward, forward and rearward displacement and the edges I4 cooperate in a niche-like manner to prevent displacement of the containers during shipment, handling, or while on display upon a sales counter.
When it is desired to remove a container from the holder or display board, the locking tongue I8 is first pulled down out of engagement with the projecting front edge e and the flat panel of the bottom closure. This action also bends forward the short vertical part 2| of the tongue I8, thus freeing the lower part of the container. It is then only necessary to'exert a slight forward and downward pull to free the upper end of the container from the tongue I6 and thus completely release the container from its clamped position in the opening I3.
It will be understood that the dimensions of the openings I3 and the locking tongues I6 and I8 may be changed to correspond to the dimensions of containers desired to be held or displayed.
It is thought that the invention and many of its attendant advantages will be understood from the foregoing description, and it will be apparent that various changes may be made in the form, construction and arrangement of the parts without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention or sacrificing all of its material advantages, the form hereinbefore described being merely a preferred embodiment thereof.
