11 Claims.
This invention relates to a display device, and more particularly to a device for use on store counters and windows for displaying an advertising message together with merchandise.
Merchandising practices require that goods offered for sale be displayed to the prospective customer. In accordance with this practice, stores generally display their merchandise on counters and in windows. As such space may be limited, display cartons have been used to supplement other display space. Such cartons usually display advertising matter and also exhibit samples of the articles offered for sale. Such a display carton or device, to be eflicient, must possess a number of qualities. It must be so designed as to waste a minimum of materials in manufacture, to require a minimum of effort of preassembly at the factory and it must be capable of being folded fiat even when in a preassembled condition to save space in shipping. An additional desirable qualification for such a device is that it should be easily assembled by the ultimate user.
I have invented and am herein disclosing and claiming a display device which embodies all the above qualifications. In addition to being simply and economically manufactured, packed and assembled, the device is of extremely sturdy construction and provides a plurality of shelves upon which a number of articles may be displayed for sale.
. The invention will be described in conjunction with the embodiments shown in the accompany ing drawings in which:
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of the device;
Fig. 2 is a side elevation;
Fig. 3 is a top plan view;
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary rear elevation;
Fig. 5 is a vertical section along lines 5-5 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 6 is a vertical section along lines-66 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 7 is a bottom plan view of the assembled device;
Fig. 8 is a vertical section along lines 8-8 of Fig. 6;
Fig. 9 is a vertical section along lines 9-9 of Fig. 6;
Fig. 10 is a plan view of the device laid out for stamping or cutting and prior to assembly; and,
Fig. 11 is a view like Fig. 10 of a modified form of the display device.
As previously stated, one of the advantages of my invention is the ease and facility with which y it may be stamped or cut from a large sheet of heavy paper or cardboard. As clearly shown in a step forming member l3 integrally connected.
to an intermediate member l4 which in turn is integrally connected to the body member ID. A second section l5 may be stamped from the same sheet of cardboard and forms a second step forming member.
The body member ID has a portion [6 adapted to appear in vertical position when the device is finally assembled and upon which an advertising message may be' displayed. The wing members II and I2 have corresponding slits and scores, hereinafter to be described in detail, and therefore in the following description, the corresponding parts of wing member I2 will be given similar reference numerals to those given to the parts of wing member II with the letter 12 added.
The wing members are attached to the body member along score line I! and are further scored along lines I8 and I9 to define a side forming portion including the three panels 20, 2| and 22. A slit 23 together with score 68 define a retaining portion 24 while a slit 25 defines a flap 26 integrally attached to a shelf supporting portion 21 of the intermediate member I4.
The intermediate member is integrally connected to the body member along the score line 28 and is provided with further score lines 29 and 30 along which the intermediate member is adapted to be folded. Integrally connected to the intermediate member along score 3| is the step forming member 13 which in turn is provided with a score line 32 along which the step forming member may be folded to form a shelf 33 and a riser 34. Slots 35 and 36 at the terminal edge of the riser portion 34 are adapted to engage notches 31 and 38 in the riser supporting portion 39 of the intermediate member.
The second step forming member [5 is provided with a score line 43 along which it may be folded to cause the slots 4| and 42 to engage the notches 31 and 38. The member is further provided with score lines 43, 44, 45, 43 and 41 along which the second step forming member may be folded in opposite directions to form a plurality of steps. The
score lines just described divide the second step forming member into a portion 48 adapted to be secured to the retaining means 24 in the assembly of the device, a portion 49 adapted to be bent around the curved ends 50 and 5| of the side forming portions, a riser portion 52, a shelf por.
In assembling the device to its preshipping ondition, the intermediate member I4 is folded back along the score line 28 and slits 59 against the body member I and secured to the member by staples 60. The side portions are folded along score lines I! and Ila to a position wherein they are substantially at right angles to the body member. The folding of the wing members in this manner will cause the shelf supporting portions BI and 62 of the intermediate member to fold along score lines 29 and 30 and also cause the flaps 2B and 26a to fold along score lines 63, 63a, 64 and 64a to form with the portion 21, supporting portions for supporting the steps to be formed later by the step forming members. The portion 48 of the step forming member may then be secured by staples to the retaining portions 24 and 24a to form the device into a parallelogram with the retaining portions and the body member making up one pair of opposed sides and the side portions constituting the other opposed sides of the parallelogram. To increase the sturdiness of the device, the flaps 26 are secured to the shelf supporting portions 21 by additional staples 65. The panel 22 is folded upon panel 2| which in turn is folded upon panel 20 to create a relatively stiff and sturdy side portion and the panels may be held in such doubly folded relationship by staples 56 and 61.
The device may be assembled as just described at the factory. For ease in shipping, the step forming member 13 may be folded upwardly against the body member and the parallelogram collapsed so that the sides make angles of zero degrees with each other, the second step forming member being folded fiat against the parallelogram. When so folded, the device occupies a small amount of space and a number of the devices may be shipped in a relatively small container.
The display device may be assembled for use by bringing the parallelogram to a position where the angles at the corners are again 90 curving the portion 49 over the ends 50 and of the side forming portion and pressing the riser portion 52 downwardly within the device, locking the tongue 51 in the groove 58 cut in the portion 48. The shelf portion 53 then forms a first shelf with the riser portion 54 extending upwardly therefrom and spaced from the riser portion 52 the width of the shelf 53. A second shelf is formed by the portion 55 which shelf is folded along the score line 40 with the slots 41 and 42 engaging the notches 31 and 38. The first step forming member may then be folded downwardly along the score line 32 and the slots 35 and 36- inserted in the same notches 31 and 38. The device when so assembled forms three shelves, 53, 55 and 33 and three risers, 34, 54 and 52. The device when so assembled is extremely sturdy and, as the shelves are supported intermediate their ends by the supporting BI, 62 and 21, is capable of supporting moderately heavy weights, for example, bottled goods of various sorts such as cosmetics.
It is clear from the foregoing that while I have described my invention in its preferred embodiment, various changes may be made in the construction of the device. For ease and economy of assembly, I have shown the device as comprising but two sections, each being slitted and scored to divide the sections into the various portions and members just described. It is obvious that the device could be made in more than two sections, for example, the wing members H and I2 could be cut separately and stapled to the body member and the intermediate and step forming members could also be made separate as could the retaining means and various other portions.
As an example of a form modified in the manner suggested, I will describe the embodiment shown in Fig. 11 which is substantially similar in all respects to the previous embodiment with the exception that the intermediate member H4 is separate from the body member I It. In the preshipping assembly of the device, the intermediate member is placed against the body member and stapled thereto rather than being folded against the member as was the previously described embodiment. In substantially all other respects, the device of Fig. 11 is similar to the device of Fig. 10, and like parts have been given like numerals differing by an even one hundred.
As an additional feature, the shelf and riser portions of the device of Fig. 11 have slots 70 cut therein to form stops H in the riser portions. When the step forming members are folded to form the various steps and risers, the stops [0 upstand from the risers in a vertical direction. When a number of articles, such as boxes of cosmetics and the like, are stacked upon the shelves, the stops i0 serve to prevent the boxes from sliding off the shelves.
While I have shown and described my invention in its preferred embodiment and with one modification, it is clear that it is capable of other and further modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention as fet forth in the appended claims.
