Int. Cl. B65d /50, 71/ 00, 1/00, 5/00, 17/00 US. Cl. 206-4514 2 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A display and sales wrapping for small articles mounted on carrier cartons or the like which comprises a rectangular bottom wall, a front wall, a back wall and two oppositely disposed side walls. A fold line is disposed between the bottom wall and the back wall, and a pair of cutting lines is disposed perpendicularly to the fold line such that by pushing-in ofthe portion of the wrapping positioned between the cutting lines into the inside of the wrapping, a supporting step having step faces is formed. At least one safety web is provided on the supporting step and is bent perpendicularly from one of the step faces by a buckling line extending perpendicularly to the fold line.

The present invention relates to a display and sales wrapping, in general, and to such wrapping destined for small articles applied to a carrying carton or the like. 7 The wrapping comprises a rectangular bottom, a front wall and a rear wall, as well as two oppositely disposed side walls, whereby in the bottom wall and in the rear wall, a pair of cutting lines is provided perpendicularly to a folding line disposed between the bottom wall and the rear wall such, that by pressing inwardly the wrapping part disposed between these cutting lines into the inside of the wrapping, a foldable supporting step is provided.

In accordance with the present invention, diflierences can be balanced out with such wrappings, which are caused by differently strong or thick, small articles. In case of thicker small articles, the wrapping is folded in a conventional manner, which means with a passing through bottom face, as well as with a passing through back face. If, however, thinner small articles are to be disposed in the wrapping, the part disposed between the cutting lines is pressed into the inside of the packing. In this manner, a step (supporting step) projecting into the inside of the wrapping is created, the depth of which suflices, to balance out the total thickness difference of the small articles. The latter sit tight, therefore, in spite of the fact that they are totally thinner and require a lesser depth in the wrapping, because they support themselves at the front wall of the supporting step.

It has now been found that on the supporting step projecting into the inside of the wrapping, an appreciable pressure is exerted which is caused by the carrier cartons and the small articles secured thereon. This pressure can lead to the result that the supporting step is pushed in.

It is one object of the present invention to provide, therefore, a display and sales wrapping which provides a stiffening of the supporting step to improve the wrapping.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a display and sales wrapping, wherein the pushed-in supporting step can be rendered safe against return yielding, by providing from one of its step faces at least one safety web which is yielding to buckling perpendicularly to the step face by means of at least one buckling line extending perpendicular to a fold line.

It is, thereby, of advantage, if one safety web each is provided at both ends of the surface parallel to the bottom of the supporting step.

I: nited States Patent 0 3,493,104 Patented Feb. 3, 1970 By this safety web and webs, respectively, the supporting step is secured in its position projecting into the inside of the wrapping. The pressure of the carrier cartons is received such that the supporting step cannot be pushed-in or can yield thereto by the pressure of the carrier carton and the small articles secured thereon.

With these and other objects in view which will become apparent in the following detailed description, the present invention will be clearly understood in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:

FIGURE 1 is a front elevation of the wrapping designed in accordance with the present invention;

FIG. 2 is a side elevation thereof, the side wall being removed for the purpose of a better demonstration of the inside of the wrapping;

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the empty wrapping at an enlarged scale, whereby one part of the front wall and one part of the side wall are broken away to render visible the supporting step and, in particular, in the prefolding position;

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the wrapping, similar to that of FIG. 3, however, showing the supporting step in the endor securing-position; and

FIG. 5 is a blank of carton of cardboard, cardboard, or the like for the production of the wrapping.

Referring now to the drawing, and in particular to FIGS. 1 and 2, the wrapping receives carrier cartons 10 or the like adapted for securing small articles thereto, for instance, equipment articles for the clothing industry, as buckles for girdle-bands or pants.

The wrapping comprises a rectangular bottom Wall 1, a rectangular front wall 2 and rear wall 3, as well as two side walls 4 and 5 in the shape of right angle triangles. The front wall 2 has in its upper part a vision opening 8, within which the wrapping content is visible.

The wrapping is produced from a blank (FIG. 5). To the side wall 5 is connected by means of a fold line 15 the front wall 2, to the latter the side wall 4 and over the fold line 10 the rear wall 3, which is connected by means of a fold line 20 with the triangular tab 21. The bottom wall 1 is connected by means of a fold line 22 with the side wall 4. To the latter is connected by means of a fold line an insert tab 24. Furthermore, with the lower end of the back wall 3 is connected by means of a folding line 25 with a bottom tab or wall 26 and a second bottom tab 28 is connected with the lower end of the front wall 2 by means of a fold line 27.

Perpendicularly to the fold line 25, which connects the back wall 3 with the bottom top 26, are provided two cutting lines 30 symmetrically to the longitudinal center.

Upper and lower fold lines 41 and 42, respectively, parallel to the fold line 25 are formed.

The wrapping is formed from the blank, by bending over at a right angle the front wall 2, the rear wall 3 and the side walls 4 and 5, as well as the tabs 21 about the

folding lines

15, 16, 19 and 20 such that the tab 21 is covered by the side wall 5. The tab 21 can then be glued together with the side wall 5. The carrier cartons 1.0 with the small articles 11 to be wrapped are then filled through the bottom opening. Thereafter, the two

bottom tabs

26 and 28 are folded about the

folding lines

25 and 27, respectively. Then the bottom 1 is folded about the folding line 22 and simultaneously, the insert tab 24 is folded about the fold line 23, in order about a right angle and is put below the side wall 5, with which it can be glued together. The wrapping is, substantially, finished thereby.

The cutting lines 30 in connection with the folding line 25 permit in the finished wrapping the formation of a supporting step face 38 between the

fold lines

25 and 42 and a supporting step face 38a between the fold lines 25 and 41. This supporting

step

38, 38a serves the purpose of balancing of a difference in thickness of the small articles 11 to be Wrapped. The same Wrapping can be used thereby for thinner or for thicker articles.

In case of thick articles, the wrapping is folded normally, that means, with runthrough bottomand rearface. If, however, thinner articles are wrapped, the supporting

step

38, 38a is pushed into the inside of the wrapping.

In order to secure a supporting

step

38, 38a appearing like a stair step against yielding or push-in, at its surface 38a two buckling lines 39 are provided, which extend parallel to the bottom 1 and perpendicular to the back Wall 3 as well as to the folding line 25. Two web cuts 43 and 44 are formed at the ends of the supporting step face 38a along the fold lines 41 and 25 forming therebetween safety webs 40. After pushing in the supporting

step

38, 38a into the inside of the wrapping (FIG. 3), the two safety webs 40 are bent upwardly for 90 about the buckling lines 39. They support themselves then with their edges on the back wall 3 and secure the supporting

step

38, 38a against yielding under the pressure of the small articles 11 disposed in the wrapping, which are mounted on the carrier cartons 10.

The wrapping, in accordance with the present invention, is particularly suitable as a so-called cartridge wrapping. This means that all wrappings including the content can be suspended simultaneously and jointly on a hook, a nail or the like.

I claim:
