The invention may be used with an ordinary container or carton constructed of corrugated paper board and indicated in its entirety by the reference numeral 10. This container has 'a front wall 11, a rear wall 12 and side walls 13 and 14, being open at the topVv and bottom. Flaps 15 issuing from the upper ends of the lateral walls of the container are adapted to be secured together to form a top 20 for the container and other flaps 38 issuing from the lower ends of these walls may be secured together to form a rbottom 39 for` the container.
Within the container 10 is mounted an insert 16 also constructed of corrugated board. This insert is formed in three sections and has a front section 17, 'a rear section 1S and a top section 19.` These sectionsV are arranged as shown in Fig. 3 and closely tit within the walls of the container 10. The front section 17 is constructed from a blank 21 shown in detail in Fig. 4. Thisk blank is of a height less than the height of the container 16 and is rectangular. in form. Extending from the lower edge 22, to the upper edgek 23 of said blank are vertically extending scores 24, 25, 26 and 27. These scores divide .the blank into a transverse wall 28, side walls 29 and 30 and ilaps 32 and 33 issuing from the outer edges of the walls 29 and 30. In addition, the walls 29 and 30 are formed with diagonal scores y34 and 35 which form in the blank Wings 36 and 37 which may be bent outwardly therefrom for a purpose to be presently described. The blank 21 when .folded is U-shaped in cross section and the side walls 29y and 30 lie along the side walls 13 and 14 of the container 10 while the liaps 32 and 33 lie along the front wall .11 The lower edges 22 of the section4 ofsaid container. rest upon the bottom wall 39 of the container and the upper edge 23 thereof falls short of the top 20 of the` wall 45 butts up against the transverse wall 2S of 'the section 17 while the side walls 46 and 47 lie alo-ng the side Walls 13 and 14 of the container 10. The vertical4 edges 48 and 49 of the side Wallsv46 and 47 butt up against the rear Wall 12 of the container. The edge 41 of this section rests upon the bottom 38 of the container. The transverse walls 28 and 45 are preferably fastened together by gluing or otherwise so that the sections 17 and 18 are inserted as a unit. p v
Attached to the transverse wall 28 of the section 17 is a cleat 51 which is constructed of Wood. This lcleat may be glued to the transverse w-all 28 or the same may be secured thereto in any other manner.
The top section 19 of the insert is constructed from af blank 52 shown in Fig. 6. This blank is of a Width between its lateral edges 53 yand 54 equal to the depthV of the container between the front. wall 11 and ,theV rear wall 12. The said blank is formed with transversev scores 55, 56, 57 and 58 which divide ythe blank into a,- top wall 59, side walls 61 and 62 and iiaps 63 and 6,4,A
issuing from the lower edges of said side walls 61 and 62. The side w-alls 61 and 62 of the blank 52pare formed with slots 74 and 75 which extend inwardly from the edge 53 thereof and lie parallel to the scores 56` and 57, being spaced a short distance therefrom. When the section 19 isr folded and inserted into the container, j the same fills the space 73 above the sections 17 and 18. in such position, the top wall 59 overlies the top 15 ofL the container, the side walls 61 and 62 lie along the sides 13 and 14 of the container, while the apsI 63 and 64 rest upon the upper edges 23 and 42 of the sections 17 and 18.
For the purpose of illustrating the application ofthe' invention, an outboard motor 65 has been shown, whichi is constructed with a motor proper disposed within a handling and shipping.
3 motor case 66. A substructure 67 depends` from the motor case 66 and carries the propeller 68 and the driving mechanism therefor. Mounted forwardly on the substructure 67 are clamps 69 and by means ofwhich the motor may be secured to the transom of the boat with w'hichit` is tobe used.
Ihernetlnvd` ofpackaging the motor is as follows: The
container isltrst erected and the lower flaps 38 thereof brought into overlying `positionand secured together to form 'the bottom 39 ofthe container. The sections 17 and 18 of theinsert are next inserted'into the container as shown in Fig. l with the Vside walls of said sections lying adacent the side walls ofthe container. This construction formsra space 71 within the section 17, a space 72 within the section 18, anda space 73 above both of the sections. Thesubstructure ofthe motor is next inscreed into the space 71 and the clamp 69 mounted on and attached-to thecrossba'r 51. YTetheringmeans, not shown, is applied between'the lowermost portion'of the substructure 67 of the motor and thetransverse walls 28and 45 of sections 17 and 18 to assist in holding the motor in position; The motor case 66 then becomes disposed within the space 73.` The top ysection 19 is now folded and inserted into the space 73 to cause the side walls '61 and 62 thereof to lie adjacent the side walls 13 and 14 of the container 10 and `with'the liaps 63 `and 64 `resting upon the upper edges 23 and 42 of the sectionsV 17 and 18. The height of the sidewalls 61 and 62 of the section 19 is such that when the section is in position the top` wall 52 lies directly beneath'and substantially in contact` with the top 39 of the container. The aps 15 of `tht-.container may now be folded over andsecured together to form the top` 20 of the container.` The outboardmotor isf now rigidly vhoused withinV the container and-packaged for The insert of the invention is so constructed that ywhen removed from the container the same maybe erected'to form a display for the outboard motor as showninFigs. 7 and 8. For the purpose, the sections `17 andv ltlare erected asf shown in Fig. 8` and caused to rest upon the lower edges 22 and 41 thereof. The 'walls 46 and`47 of the section18 are bent outwardly and rearwardly at an anglegas shown, whilethe side walls 29 and 30 ofr`the front section 17 are brought together in substantial alignment with the walls 464 and 47. The wings 36 and 37 are now swung outwardly as shown in both Fig. 7 and Fig'. 8. The topk section 19 is next foldedas` shown in Fig. 8 and the same applied to the rear section 18 `by inserting the' uppermost portions of the` side walls 46 and 47 f of said section into the slots 73. Display matter may be 'applied to the surfaces of the walls 59, 61 and 62 of the section 19 and tothe wings36 andr 37 of section 17. It will be noted that thesection 19 is disposed rearwardly of and spaced from the transverse walls 28 and 45 of the sections 17 and 18 leaving the upper edges 22 and 41 of the sections 17 and 18 exposed. The motor may now beplacedupon the display by causing the portions of the case 66 to rest on the edges 23 and 42 of the sections 17 and '18 `and with the substructure 67 of the` motor to rest upon the portions of the Wings` 36 and 37 at the scores 34 and 35. The motor is thus adequately supported and in an inclined position so that observers passing by the display may s ee the entire motor without stooping.
The advantages of the invention are manifest. The package is extremely simple and can be constructed at a nominal cost. The motor is held supported away from the walls of the container in which the insert is mounted so that injury thereto is prevented. The insert need not be destroyed and can` be maintained in the container for storingthe motor when the same is not in use. When the insert iserected, a display is provided in which the Vmotor is supported in an inclined position affording the observer full view without stooping. Additionally, sufficient space is provided on the surfaces of the insert on which advertising matter can be placed.
Changes in the specific form of the invention, as herein described, may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent is:
