ful and relatively expensive packing for ship-V ment to avoid damage. An easel or support for the device is usually Yattached to the back thereof, and the packing case is removed and discarded when the device is set up.
It is the object of the present invention to provide a combined shipping container andr easel for display devices which affords protection during transportationV and is transformed by simple manipulation into a ysturdy support for the device when it is used for display purposes.
Another object of the invention is the provision of an exceptionally strong and rigid easel by folding a portion of the shipping container.
A further object is the provision of a rigid easel constructed of folded sheet material, with the folded sections interlocke-d.
Among the advantages of the invention isthe provision of a more rigid support than otherwise would be available because the shipping container is of necessity made of substantial material,
which provides the easel or support. Another advantage is a considerable saving in cost due to the elimination of the easel as commonly provided.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be understood by reference to the following specication and accompanying drawing, in which Fig. l is a view in perspective of the front ofv a characteristic display device;
Fig. 2 is a similar View of the back of the device showing the easel assembled for use;
Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3--3 of Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 is a section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3;
Fig. 5 is a View in perspective of the shipping container in the form in which it is shipped and illustrating the manner in which it is opened;
Fig. 6 is a section on the line 6-6 of Fig. 5;
Fig. '7 is a section on the line 'I-1 of Fig. 5;
Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 5, illustrating the further procedure in opening the shipping container;
Fig. 9 is a view in perspective illustrating the procedure in setting up the easel; and
Fig. 10 is a view similar toI Fig. 9 illustrating the completion of the settingV up operation.
Referring to the drawing, 45 indicates a display device which may be made offany suitable stiff sheet material such' as cardboard, pulp-board, `5V and the like. It may carry any desired advertising material applied-preferably by lithography,V although-the `deviceI may befdecorat'edin any suitable manner. It willbunderstcodthatthepaftieuiar formofffthedispiayfdeviee, including the io cut-out'gur'ePforms"nolpait of the present invention andmay be'modified to "meet the'particularadvertising purpose;-v
Thedisplay device is enclosed within a ship'- ping container consistingrof a flat rear wall S I5 with folded flaps 'I and4 Spreferably overlapping. to protect theenclosed device. `'The shipping con-fv tainer may bemade of'any suitable stiff sheetv material, but corrugated board is preferred because of its strength "and resistance to wear and tear of shipping; Instead of using integral flaps l and 8, the front of the container may, ofcourse, consist of a single sheet secured in any suitable manner to the rear Wall l6. The container is closed preferably at the ends by strips of adhesive tape 9 and I0, the latter being adapted to be slit with aknife or other sharp instrument in opening the container as indicated in Fig. 5.
The rear Wall 6 of the shipping container is sco-red or perforated along lines II, I2, I3, I4,V I5, V
normal to the plane of the rear wall. The transverse brace 25 is then folded upwardly until it engages notches 26 in the lateral wings 2| and 22. The top brace V2I is then folded into engagement with the upper ends of the lateral Wings 2| and 45 22, and the apron 28 is folded downwardly and slots 29 therein formed by perforated knockouts in the apron are engaged with the projections sembled, as shown in Fig. 10, it may be set up. 55'
