COMBINED SHIPPING CONTAINER AND DISPLAY CASE Filed Oct. 11, 1956 Y///////) l/////////7/A INVENTOR. MOPTON E. SANUELS wax A TTOE/VE Y- United States Patent COMBINED SHIPPING CONTAINER AND DISPLAY CASE Morton E. Samuels, Los Angeles, Calif.
Application October 11, 1956, Serial'No. 615,255
14 Claims. (Cl. 206-144) This invention relates to containers and in particular to a combined shipping carton and display case.
A primary object of this invention is to provide 'a shipping container which upon arrival at its destination can be attached to a peg-board and converted into a display case.
Another object of this invention is the provision of a novel wire yoke incorporated into the container and forming -a strut which strengthens the container and attaches it to the peg-board.
Other objects and advantages will become apparent from the ensuing specification and appended drawing in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the container opened and prepared in readiness for display use.
Fig. .2 is a perspective view with parts broken away showing the container in readiness for shipping.
Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view of the back of the container afiixed to a peg-board.
Now referring to the drawing in detail: the body of thecontainer is of conventional form and may be made from corrugated cardboard. The top is closed by four cover flaps, 1, 2, 3, 4, flap lhaving aslot 5. Flap 1 is closed first; flap 2 is closed next (it may extend the full length of the top as shown so as to cover flap '1); and flaps 3 and 4 jointly cover flap 2.
The outer surface ofthe carton is printed (e. g. with the adjoining areas of contrasting colors) to indicate a line 6 sloping from the top ,of the container along a side 7 to approximately the .median point on the front corner of side 7,.continuing on a horizontal'lineon front '8 at approximatelymedian height and extending back to the top on the opposite side 7 parallel to the line 6 on side 7.
Toprepare the container for display, .the cover flaps 1,.2,.3,4,are opened and the merchandise contained therein removed. A knife or some other sharp cutting instrument is used to cut along line 6, eliminating the closure flaps with the exception of flap -1 and providing a sloped-front case. r
A metal yoke, indicated generally by the numeral 9, has :two arms 10 and 11 anda double-bent hook 12 'of Z-form at the end of each arm. The arms 10 :and 11 projectthrough a pair of :holes 13 in the lower corners of the back 17, and normally lie flatly on the bottom 16-during shipping. Connecting shaft of the yoke extends outside' of the'container along the lower edge of back 17, and a paper retainer strip .18 holds it against back'17; Yoke connecting shaft 15 is offsetfrom yoke arms 10 and 11 at 14 to allow the armsyto be raised (using connecting shaft 15 as a hinge) to positions :lying closely alongtheinner face of back 17, as shown in Fig; 3.
Theslot 5'in flap l defines the upper portion of a panel for an advertisement 21 describing the contents of the container and is arched so that when flap 1 is folded at the ends of slot 5 along fold lines 2 2 (sh ownin-Fig. 2) the upper portion of the advertisement panel'is left pro- 2,812,852 Patented Nov. 12, 1957 jecting upwardly. The folded flap 1 is moved to a vertical position about hinge-bend 23 which joins it to back 17, and yoke arms 10 and 11 are brought up and the Z-hooks 12 are forcibly pushed past flap 1, in embracing relation thereto, thus locking flap 1 in a vertical position. The container is aflixed to a conventional wall peg-board 24 by tilting the container backwardly and inserting the Z-hooks 12 into holes provided in the peg-board. By their shape, the Z-hooks 12 hold the arms securely when the container is allowed to rest against peg-board 24. The relatively rigid metal arms 10 and '11 resting against back 17 also lend rigidity to the container by reinforcing the cardboard where the bending moments arising from the weight of the supported merchandise and transmitted through sides 7, 7, tend to tear the latter away from the back 17 along the rear corners of the container.
The contents of the container are replaced and the shipping container is now an eye-catching display case. The number of containers which may be attached to a pegboard is limited only by the size of the peg-board, and my invention makes it possible for a store to utilize much needed floor space to much better advantage by having the merchandise displayed along the wall.
