PACKAGE OF SHOWER CURTAIN RINGS Filed Aug. 17, 1954 United States Patent C) PACKAGE F SHOWER CURTAIN RINGS Frank E. B. Tate, Rye Beach, N. H., assignor to E. H. Tate Company, Boston, Mass., a corporation of Massad chusetts Application August 17, 1954, Serial No. 450,434
2 Claims. (Cl. 206--79) This invention relates to a simple and convenient sales package of shower curtain rings. Rings of this kind consist of a closed, pear-shaped loop of wire. The wide circular portion of the loop is designed to slide loosely on a horizontal pipe or rod for supporting the curtain. The narrow portion of the loop holds the top margin of the curtain. According to the invention a card is provided with notches in opposite margins, these notches resulting in a narrowed portion of the card. The width of this narrowed portion is equal to or slightly less than the length of the opening deiined by the loop of a curtain ring. The notches are of suicient width to receive any desired number of rings, e. g., a dozen.
On the drawing:
Figure 1 is an outline of a card for shower curtain rings;
Figure 2 is an elevation of a sales package embodying the invention; and
Figure 3 is a section on the line 3 3 of Figure 2.
A generally rectangular card is shown in Figures 1 and 2. This card may be of thin cardboard or any other sheet material which is moderately stiff but can be bent Suiciently to mount the rings thereon. The card has two notches 12 and 14 in the margin thereof, these notches being opposite to each other so that their bottom edges 16 and 18 are parallel and define a neck 20 which is nar- Patented Apr. 12, 1955 rower than the remainder of the card 10. The width of the neck 20, that is, the distance between the bottoms 16 and 18 of the notches is slightly less than the major diameter of the opening defined by a shower curtain ring 22. Hence the neck 20 receives and holds a number of rings 22, according to the width of the notches 14 and 16. These notches are preferably near one end of the card 10 so that the marginal portions between the notches and the adjacent end of the card are in the form of ears 24 and 26 either or both of which can be bent suciently to enable rings 22 to pass to the neck 20. ,The bent ear or ears are then straightened to hold the rings assembled on the card.
The shower curtain rings 22 illustrated on the drawing each consists of a piece of wire bent to define a pearshaped opening as shown in Figure 3. These rings are locked on the card until the ears 24 and 26 are bent or torn to permit their removal.
I claim:
l. A package of shower curtain rings, comprising a card having two opposed notches of substantial width, the bottoms of said notches being on parallel lines spaced apart a distance slightly less than the major diameter of the opening defined by a shower curtain ring, and a predetermined number of shower curtain rings loosely mounted on said card, each said ring comprising a closed loop of wire defining a pear-shaped opening through whidch a portion of said card between said notches exten s.
2. A package of shower curtain rings, comprising a generally rectangular card having in two of its parallel edges opposed notches the bottoms of which define a neck having a width slightly less than the major diameter of the opening defined by a shower curtain ring, and a plurality of shower curtain rings assembled on said card, each said ring comprising a closed loop of wire defining a pear-shaped opening through which said neck extends.
