PAPER BOARD DISPLAY STAND Filed Feb 6, 1957 5M1? erze M6225 c/ZZZ ted 2,941,713 PAPER BOARD DISPLAY STAND Filed Feb. 6, i957, Ser. No. 638,500 4 Claims. (Cl. 248174) The principal object of this invention is to provide an improved paper board display stand, which is formed from a single piece of paper board, which may be readily and quickly erected by folding into a three-dimensional stand, which is self stabilizing and held in erected position, which includes a vertically extending rear panel, a base panel extending forwardly from the bottom of the rear panel, a platform extending forwardly from the rear panel, a riser extending vertically between the platform and the base panel, and wings extending rearwardly from the riser underneath the platform for stabilizing the platform and the stand, wherein objects to be displayed may be placed upon the platform and the base panel, wherein advertising copy may be placed upon the rear panel and the riser, and which may be inexpensively manufactured.

Other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reference to the accompanying specification, claims and drawing in which:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the paper board display stand of this invention erected into three-dimensional position;

Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view through the erected display stand taken substantially along the line 2-2 of Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the display stand showing the same as it is being erected;

Fig. 4 is .a plan view of the paper board blank from which the display stand is erected.

The paper board display stand of this invention is generally designated at and it is formed from a single sheet of paper board 11 or the like, and it may have any desired external configuration, a simple rectangular conshown for purposes of illustration. The

ing or the like.

A first told line 16 extends transversely between said first ends of the first pair of slits 12, a second fold line transversely between of slits 15. Fourth and fifth fold lines 21 extend longitudinally between said first ends of the first pair of slits Patent 12 and the inner ends of the fourth pair of slits 15. These I told

lines

16, 17, 18 and 21 may be formed in able manner as by scoring or the like.

The portion of bounded by the slits 12 and the forms a platform 19. The board bounded by the fold riser 20 for the platform 19. The portions of the sheet of paper board bounded by the

slits

13, 14 and 15 and the fold line 21 form a pair of wings which extend laterally any suitboard 11,

In erecting the paper board stand into three dimensional position from the two-dimensi0nal position shown in Fig. 4, the paper board sheet is folded along the

fold lines

16, 17, 18, 21 and 23, as indicated in Fig. 3, until wings 22 are then folded rearwardly to a position underneath the platform 19, as

complete stand are stabilized in the erected three-dimensional position the base panel 25, and for purposes of illustration there is shown a bottle 26 resting upon the platform 19.

As shown in the drawing, the platform same dimensions as the riser 20 and, therefore, lines 23 are in alignment I tween the

fold lines

17 and 23 correspond to the longitudinal spacing between the

fold lines

16 and 18. In this be provided lines for 0hpaper board, may be inexpensively slitted and scored with a minimum number of operations, may have advertising copy readily applied thereto when in two-dimensional condition, and may be readily erected to three-dimensional While for purposes of illustration, one form of this invention has been disclosed, other forms thereof may become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reference to this disclosure and, therefore, this invention is to be limited only by the scope of the appended claims.

I claim as my invention:

1. In a single .piece, three-dimensional, paper board display stand, a single sheet of paper board having a first pair of longitudinally extending spaced apart substantially parallel slits, a second pair of longitudinally extending substantially parallel slits spaced farther apart than the first pair of slits and on opposite sides thereof, a third pair of transversely extending aligned slits extending between one end of each of the first pair of slits and one end of each of the second pair of slits, a fourth pair of transversely extending aligned slits extending inwardly from the other ends of the second pair of slits, a first fold line extending transversely between said first ends of the first pair of slits, a second fold line extending transversely between the other ends of the first pair of slits, a third fold line extending transversely between the inner ends of the fourth pair of slits, fourth and fifth fold lines extending longitudinally between said first ends of the first pair of slits and the inner ends of the fourth pair of slits, and sixth and seventh fold lines extending transversely outwardly beyond the pairs of longitudinally extending slits and longitudinally spaced from the second fold line a distance correspon 'ng substantially to the distance between the first and third fold lines.

2. A single piece, three-dimensional, paper board display stand comprising, a single sheet of paper board having a first pair of longitudinally extending spaced apart substantially parallel slits, a second pair of longitudinally extending substantially parallel slits spaced farther apart than the first pair of slits and on opposite sides thereof, a third pair of transversely extending aligned slits extending between one end of each of the first pair of slits and one end of each of the second pair of slits, a fourth pair of transversely extending aligned slits extending inwardly from the other ends of the second pair of slits, a first fold line extending transversely between said first ends of the first pair of slits, a second fold line extending transversely between the other ends of the first pair of slits, a third fold line extending transversely between the inner ends of the fourth pair of slits, fourth and fifth fold lines extending longitudinally between said first ends of the first pair of slits and the inner ends of the fourth pair of slits, and sixth and seventh fold lines extending transversely outwardly beyond the pairs of longitudinally extending slits and longitudinally spaced from the second fold line a distance corresponding substantially to the distance between the first and third fold lines, said single sheet of paper board being folded along said sixth and seventh fold lines and forming a vertically extending rear panel and a forwardly extending base panel, being folded along said first, second and third fold lines and forming a forwardly extending platform and an upwardly extending riser therefor, and being folded along said forth and fifth fold lines and forming wings extending rearwardly under the platform for stabilizing the platform and the stand.

3. A single piece, three-dimensional, paper board display stand comprising, a single sheet of paper board which is slitte-d and folded and which forms a vertically extending rear panel, a base panel extending forwardly from the bottom of the rear panel, a platform extending forwardly from the rear panel, a riser extending vertically between the base panel and the forward edge of the platform, and a pair of wings extending rearwardly and inwardly from the sides of the riser underneath the platform for stabilizing the platform and the stand.

4. A single piece, three-dimensional, paper board display stand comprising, a single sheet of paper board which is provided with longitudinally and transversely extending slits, transversely extending folds extending outwardly from the slits and forming a vertically extending rear panel and a base panel extending forwardly from the bottom of the rear panel, transversely extending folds extending between the slits and forming a platform extending forwardly from the rear panel and a riser extending vertically between the base panel and the forward edge of the platform, and longitudinally extending folds extending between the slits and forming a pair of wings extending rearwardly from the sides of the riser under neath the platform for stabilizing the platform and the stand.
