Sams/ng Attorney DISPLAY BACKBOARD BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to display devices and is directed more particularly to a display backboard for use in the display of cylindrical containers.
2. Description of the Prior Art Display backboards for use in conjunction with cylindrical containers, as for example bottles or aerosol cans, are well known and frequently include tabs which are adapted to be folded outwardly-from the backboard and, once folded outwardly, adapted to encircle one of the containers, whereby the container acts as an anchor for the backboard.
The outwardly-folded tab generally slides along the length of the container which it is around, coming to a stop when the tab engages a bead on the container, or failing that, when the tab engages the shelf upon which the container rests. Thus, the lower portion of the backboard is disposed behind the container, or as is generally the case, a row of containers, and thereby hidden from view. In addition, if an anchoring container is lifted from the shelf, it usually carries the backboard with it, or slips out of the tab, leaving the backboard without the support of the container so removed.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a dis play backboard of the type above referred to having tab means as above described and also having means for positioning ,the backboard relative to the containers upon which it is mounted such that a lesser portion of the backboard is hidden from view and the anchoring containers are rendered less accessible whereby to discourage their removal.
With the above and other objects in view, as will hereinafter appear, a feature of the present invention is the provision in a display backboard of the type above referred to of sets of tabs, each set including at least two parallel tabs adapted to be folded outwardly from the backboard, the tabs having corresponding walls which are parallel but in different planes so that a lower tab encircles a container while an upper tab engages a top surface of that container to stop downward movement of the lower tab about the container.
The above and other features of the invention, including various novel details of construction and combinations of parts, will now be more particularly described with reference to the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the claims. It will, be understood that the particular device embodying the invention is shown by way of illustration only and not as a limitation of the invention. The principles and features of this invention may be employed in various and numerous embodiments without departing from the scope of the invention.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Reference is made to the accompanying drawings in which is shown an illustrative embodiment of the invention from which its novel features and advantages will be apparent.
FIG. 1 is a perspective partial view of one form of display backboard illustrative of an embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the backboard shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is an end elevational view of the backboard;
FIG. 4 is a plan view of a blank from which the backboard is constructed;
FIG. 5 is similar to FIG. 4 but shows the blank during the backboard forming operation;
FIG. 6 is similar to FIG. 5 but shows the blank later in the backboard forming operation;
FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing the blank still later in the backboard forming operation; and
FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the completed backboard.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring to FIGS. 1-3 it will be seen that the illustrative display backboard includes a generally planar member 2 having tabs 4, 6 and which are bendable outwardly from the planar member 2 and are each joined to a common end piece 10. The tabs 4, 6 and 8 are in planes parallel to but removed from each other so that the tabs 4 and 6 slidingly engage the side of a container C and the tab 8 engages the top of the container C whereby to stop movement of the backboard relative to the container. A second set of tabs l2, l4, 16 joined at a common end piece 18, may be similarly disposed so that the tabs 12, 14 slidingly engage the side of a container C and the tab 16 engages the top of the container.
Referring to FIG. 4, it will be seen that a blank from which the backboard may be constructed comprises a flat member 20 having cemented areas 22, 24 and 26 on one side thereof and fold lines 28, 30 defining end flaps 32, 34 which are folded inwardly to a position shown in FIG. 5. The member 20 also includes slots 36, 38, 40 and 42, 44, 46 which, along with fold lines 48, 50, 52 54, 56, (on left side, as viewed in FIG. 4), 58, 60, 62, 64 and 66 (on right side, as viewed in FIG. 4) form the tabs 14, 12, 16, and 6, 4, :8, as well as the end pieces 18 and 10. Comparing FIGS. 4 and 5, it will be noted that a fold is made along a fold line 68 whereby the cemented area 22 is brought into engagement with the cemented area 24 to join the areas 22, 24.
A comparison of FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrates that another fold is made along a fold line 70 to place a cemented area 72 in connecting engagement with the cemented area 26,'which is bounded in part by a perforated tear line 74. The backboard. is now in its usual shipping condition.
Referring to FIG. 7, it will be seen that in order to complete the assembly, the flat member 20 is torn along the line 74; permitting the flat member 20 to be unfolded along the fold line 70 to expose one entire side (FIG. 8). The end flaps 32 and 34 are then folded to positions normal to the flat member 20 to provide support for the flat member.
By manual manipulation the end pieces 10, 18 are pulled outwardly from the flat member 20 (FIG. 8) and the board placed upon container C, as shown in FIG. I.
It is to be understood that the present invention is by no means limited to the particular construction herein disclosed and/or shown in the drawings, but also comprises any modifications or equivalents within the scope of the disclosure.
said first and second tabs being common at their ends most removed from said planar member with an end piece, said first and second tabs and said end piece thereby defining an enclosed area, and a third of said tabs being parallel to said first and second tabs and removed therefrom such that said third tab is disposed across substantially the entire length of said enclosed area,
Claims (1)
1. A display backboard comprising a planar member, a set of tabs extending outwardly from and normal to said planar member, said set comprising three rectangularly shaped planar tabs of substantially equal length, a first and second of said tabs being parallel to each other with their respective free edges in same planes, said first and second tabs being common at their ends most removed from said planar member with an end piece, said first and second tabs and said end piece thereby defining an enclosed area, and a third of said tabs being parallel to said fIrst and second tabs and removed therefrom such that said third tab is disposed across substantially the entire length of said enclosed area.
