Application March 18, 1952, Serial No. 277,334
3 Claims. (Cl. 248-196) This invention relates to display devices, and more particularly to a display stand adapted to support a coin receptacle.
A main object of the invention is to provide a novel and improved display stand which is simple in construction, which is foldable to a flat condition, and which is adapted to lockingly engage with the container supported therein.
A further object of the invention is to provide an improved display stand for a coin collection container, said stand being inexpensive to manufacture, being compact in size, being neat in appearance, being easy to set up, and being adapted to secure the container with which it is employed in the stand so that said containermay not readily be detached from the stand by unauthorized persons.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description and claims, and from the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure l is a front elevational View of an improved coin collection container and holder therefor constructed in accordance with the present invention;
Figure 2 is a rear perspective view of the container stand employed in Figure l;
Figure 3 is a vertical cross-sectional View taken on the line 3 3 of Figure l;
Figure 4 is a horizontal cross-sectional View taken on the line 4-4 of Figure l.
Referring to the drawings, the illustrated improved container stand is designated generally at 11 and cornprises a main body or front plate 12 of rigid material, such as cardboard or the like, said main body being generally rectangular in shape and being transversely creased at its upper portion, as shown at 13, 14 and 15, the transverse creases 13, 14 and 15 being arranged so that the upper portion of the body 12 may be bent to define a triangular, transversely extending, hollow head portion, designated at 16, projecting forwardly over the remainder of the body. Secured to the rear surface of the front plate 12 is a vertically elongated rear plate 17 of suitable material, such as cardboard or the like, which is provided with vertical creases at 18, 18 arranged so that the side portions of the front plate 17, designated respectively at 19, 19, may be bent rearwardly to dene supporting flaps or wings. The bottom edges of the flaps or wings 19, 19 are at an obtuse angle to the plane of front plate 12, as shown in Figure 3, whereby the front plate 12 will be supported by the aps 19, 19 in an upstanding, inclined position, shown in Figure 3.
The top portion of the front plate 17 is formed with slits 20, 20 at the top ends of the Vertical creases 18, 18 adapted to receive the depending rear flap 21 of the head portion 16 of the front plate, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, to secure said head portion 16 in its folded condition.
The lower portion of the front plate 12 is formed with a large, generally rectangular aperture 22, as shown in Figure 2. The rear plate 17 is provided with a horizontal flap 23 adapted to be folded to the position shown 2,731,226 Patented Jan. 17, 1956 Fice in Figure 2, said flap 23 being formed with respective notches 24, 24 adapted to interlock with the rear edges 25, 25 of a large, transversely extending, rectangular aperture 26 formed in the rear plate 17 and in the wings 19, 19. As shown in Figure 2, the aperture 26 includes portions of the aps 19, 19, and when said flaps 19, 19 are folded to the rearwardly extending positions thereof shown in Figure 2, the rear edges 25, 25 of aperture 26 face the aperture 22 and are lockingly engageable by the notches 24, 24 of flap 23.
The front plate 12 is formed with a laterally inwardly projecting tab 27 at one side margin of the aperture 22.
Designated at 23 is a rearwardly projecting flap member 1 forming part of the front plate 12 and foldable in the manner shown in Figures 2 and 3, and foldable to underlie the respective portions of the top edge of aperture 26, the flap 28 being connected to front plate 12 at the top margin of the aperture 22 in said main body.
Designated at 29 is a cylindrical container which is generally drum shaped and which has top and bottom peripheral beads 30 and 31. The top wall of the container, designated at 32, is formed with a coin entry slot 33. The side wall of the container 29 is formed with a vertical slot 34 adapted to receive the tab 27 when the container is positioned in the aperture 22, as shown in Figures l and 4. In this position, the top flap 28 engages the top wall 32 of the. container and cooperates with the top bead 30 to prevent removal of the container forwardly from the supporting stand. The container is Secured in the stand by engaging the tab 27 in the vertical slot 34 and then rotating the container inwardly until the top flap 2S locks with respect to top rim 30 of the container. With the tab 27 engaged in the slot 34 and the container in fully inserted position, the coin receiving slot 33 is located forwardly of the front wall of front plate 12 in an exposed, visible position, for the convenient insertion of coins into the container through said slot 33. The cylindrical wall of the container is provided with a transparent window 29 which is located on the exposed front portion of the container, whereby the contents of the container are visible. As shown in Figure 3, the cylindrical wall of the container may be provided with an internal liner 30', and the Window 29' may be defined lby forming registering rectangular apertures in the elements of the wall and securing a sheet of transparent material, such as cellulose acetate, between said elements over the window opening defined by said registering apertures. The lower portion of the container 29 engages the flap 23 and is supported thereon, the container also engaging the side edges 25, 25' of the aperture 26 to provide further support for the container.
The above-described supporting stand and container are particularly adaptable for use in fundraising drives for charitable purposes and may be suitably inscribed with slogans or other advertising material appropriate to the use for which the device is employed.
While specific embodiments of an improved coin collecting container and a support therefor have been disclosed in the foregoing description, it will be understood that various me cations within the spirit of the invention may occur those skilled in the art` Therefore, it is intended that no limitations be placed on the invention except as defined by the scope of the appended claims.
