ROLF A. SAMSING ATTORNEYS United States Patent DISPLAY TRAY BLANK AND CONTAINER Rolf A. Samsing, Braintree, Mass.
Application April 4, 1955, Serial No. 498,868
Claims. (Cl. 229-23) This invention relates to a novel display tray blank and container in which two independent blanks are constructed to cooperate in superposed relation to form a novel tray container adapted to house and display goods for sale. Each blank comprises a paperboard sheet folded at opposite marginal edges to form tubular frame units and is so constructed that the two blanks in superposed relation provide an inner panel for supporting and displaying the goods and a marginal frame thereabout formed by the combined tubular frame units.
The blanks are constructed and folded to flat form convenient for stacking and from which they can be readily raised and assembled. In the assembled relation one panel is superposed over the other panel and provides an inner support forthe goods and the four tubular frame units unite at their ends to provide an enclosing frame. Furthermore, the tubular frame units are so constructed that they are normally drawn toward each other to firmly and resiliently engage and support the units in cooperating frame forming relation at their ends. The production of" a novel display tray blank and container of this nature as hereinafter more specifically described comprises the primary object of the invention.
These and other features of the invention will be more readily understood and appreciated from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment thereof, selected for purposes of illustration and shown in the accompanying drawings in which- Fig. l is a plan view of a formed paperboard sheet for one of the blanks,
Fig. 2 is a view of the sheet folded into a blank,
Fig. 3 is an end view of the folded blank,
Fig. 4 is a plan view of a formed paperboard sheet for the companion blank,
Fig. 5 is a view of this sheet folded into a blank,
Fig. 6 is an end view of this folded blank,
Fig. 7 is a perspective view illustrating the assembling of the two blanks,
Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the assembled tray,
Fig. 9 is a sectional view taken on line 9-9 of Fig. 8 and Fig. 10 is a sectional view taken on line 10--10 of Fig. 8.
The paperboard sheet 10 comprises a panel 12 and two like end portions 1415 scored at 16 and cut out U shaped at 17. The end portions are folded downwardly on the score lines to the flat tubular form 18 shown in Figs. 2 and 3 and the terminal ends are adhesively aifixed to the bottom face of the sheet. During such folding step the cuts 17 automatically result in tabs 19 projecting outwardly from the folded blank. The anchored terminal ends 15 normally hold the folds in the position illustrated in Fig. 3 and from which position they can be pivoted upwardly about the innermost score lines 16 to form the tubular frame units shown in broken lines.
The paperboard sheet 20 comprises a panel 22 and two like end portions scored at 23 to provide panels 24, 25, 26 and 27, the ends of the panels being miter cut at 28. The end portions are folded upwardly on the score lines to the flat tubular form shown in Figs. 5 and 6 and the terminal ends 27 are adhesively affixed to the top face of the panel 22 adjacent to the panel 24. The anchored terminal ends 27 normally hold the folds 30 in the flat position illustrated and from which position they can be opened to form the tubular frame units shown in broken lines in Fig. 6.
The flat folded blanks 21 and 32 can be conveniently handled, shipped and stored in compact stacked relation and each pair of folded blanks can be conveniently assembled to form the tray container shown in Fig. 8. In assembling the blanks, the folds 18 of the blank 21 are moved about the score lines to the position illustrated in broken lines in Fig. 3; the folds 30 of the blank 32 are moved outwardly to the position illustrated in broken lines in Fig. 6; and the panel 12 is superposed over the panel 22 as illustrated in Fig. 7. The ends of the frame units 18 are then inserted within the open ends of the units 30 to form the frame shown in Fig. 8.
The panel 12 is of a width to fit between the frame units 38 and the adhesively bonded units normally tend to move inwardly to the fiat position, thereby resiliently gripping the blank 21 therebetween. The units 18 normally tend to return to the flat position and when moved to the broken line position of Fig. 3 with the panel 12 supported in superposed position on the panel 22 the bonded relation of the terminal ends 15 to the panel 12 causes the units normally to move toward each other as illustrated in broken lines in Fig. 3 and to grip the units 30 therebetween at the junction ends thereof. In this relation the locking tabs 19 extend inwardly of and into interlocking engagement with the units 30 at their ends, thus locating and supporting the frame units at their junctions. Particular attention is called to the engagement of the tabs in opposed relation against the inner wall of the frame units 30, as clearly illustrated in Fig. 9, by which the tabs support the units 30 against lateral collapsing movement. The panel ends 25 of the frame units 30 are miter cut at 28 and cooperate with the units 18 to form the miter-like corner joints shown in Fig. 8.
It will be noted that the panel 22 forms the outside bottom wall of the tray and the panel 12 forms the inner bottom wall. Thus the panel 12 serves as an anchoring platform for products adapted to be mounted thereon. The top panel face 12 of the folded blank 21 is unobstructed and is adapted to receive directly thereon the product to be packaged. For example, the pin 34 can be mounted on the panel 12 of the folded blank 21 and the blank can thereafter be assembled with a blank 32. Thus the product is completely anchored and housed within the outside bottom wall 22. The assembling of the two blanks is a convenient machine operation and the preloading of the product on the blank 21 together with the automatic assembling of the two blanks greatly facilitates and reduces the cost of packaging the product.
When the product and blanks have been assembled, as in Fig. 8, the package will ordinarily be cellophane wrapped and it will be noted that the package has no breaks or projections to interfere with or detract from the wrapping. As thus wrapped, the product is securely anchored centrally of the panel 12 and is beautifully displayed within the picture frame 1830. After removing the cellophane wrapper, the package can be conveniently opened merely by pulling outwardly on the frame units 18.
In some cases it may be desirable to provide supplementary side walls on the panel 12 and I have illustrated such walls 36 in broken lines in Fig. 1. In such case these walls will fold inwardly about score lines, when assembling the folded blank 21 on the blank 32, and rest Patented Sept. 9, 1958 3 against the tubular frame units 30 as illustrated in broken lines in Fig. 9.
