- the present invention concerns a convertible display device and packing box for articles, capable of use for transporting these objects and displaying them at their destination more particularly for offering them for sale at such destination.
- An aim of the present invention is to provide a novel, convertible display device and packing box for articles, which may be used directly as a packing box for shipping or transporting the articles to a destination, at which the articles are to be sold or displayed, and at that destination be converted to a display rack with visible inscriptions.
- the present invention concerns a convertible display device and packing box for articles, comprising a stand or rack for support of articles provided with means for fixing thereto a publicity or advertising panel, bearing descriptive or advertising inscriptions relating to those articles. which may be viewed at the same time as the articles are displayed on the rack, together with a slidable case or sheath into which the rack for the articles may be slid to form a packing box, characterized in that the said advertising or publicity panel bearing at least the said inscription is a part of the sheath so that the sheath and the rack constitute a packing-box for the articles when the rack is slid into the casing, whereas when the rack is slid out of the sheath the sheath may be folded and mounted on or'secured to the rack to constitute a display device for the said articles with visible data regarding them.
- the said sheath may be removed and folded for mounting on the rack so as to constitute publicity panel for the articles displayed on the rack.
- the said sheath or case has longitudinal scorings or folds, opposite to' each otherand along which the sheath may be flattened for mounting on the rack so that selected inscriptions are viewable directly adjacent to the said exposed articles carried on the said rack.
- the said rack for articles comprises at least one slot into which at least a portion of an edge of the panel made of the folded sheath may be inserted to serve for fixation of the panel of the folded sheath on the rack.
- the said rack for supporting the articles comprises two vertical slots intended to have fitted therein at least a portion ofrespective of the lateral edges of the inscription panelof the sheath for fixation of said panel to the rack.
- FIG. 1 shows in perspective a partially open combi nation display stand and sheath forming a packing box for articles, according to the invention when the two are being used as a packing-box for articles, and
- FIG. 2 shows in perspective the combination according to the invention, being used as a display stand for the said articles and bearing the folded sheath.
- the convertible display stand or rack and packingbox shown in the figures comprises two primary elements: a rack 1 for supporting articles; a deformable sheath 2 intended to serve with the said rack l for articles, either as a packing-box for articles such as 3 (FIG. I) or a display stand for those articles 3 (FIG. 2).
- the rack or stand 1 for support of articles comprises a base 11, whose substantially horizontal top face has recesses, sockets or pigeon holes 12 for receiving and supporting articles 3 therein consisting, here, for example, of pocket flashlights.
- a substantially vertical lateral part 13 integrated with the base 11 forms the rear wall of the rack 1. This vertical wall 13 has a height substantially equal to the height of the articles 3 when they are mountedin the pigeon holes 12 of the base'll.
- truncated vertical side walls such as 14, are arranged orthogonally in relation to the base 11 and to the wall 13.
- the base 11 and its rear and side walls 13 and 14 are of integral construction.
- sheath 2 in which the rack 1 for articles 3 may be slid frictionally is in tubular form and in this embodiment, has a rectangular cross-section.
- the dimensions of the faces of the sheath 2 are chosen so that in tubular form the sheath has a periphery such that when slid over the rack 1 it will surround the wall 13 of rack l and its base 11, on which the articles 3 are mounted, being in direct contact with the bottom face of the base 11, the outside face of the wall 13 and the top ends of each of the articles 3. The latter thus are held in immobile in their respective pigeon holes.
- the sheath 2, in the installed surrounding position on the rack l for articles thus with the rack l constitutes a packing-box for those articles.
- the foldable sheath or case 2 is also intended to provide advertising or publicity panels that are fixable onto the rack 1 to form, with the rack, a display device for those articles.
- the case or sheath bears, on at least one of its faces, an advertising inscription with respect to the articles, such inscription relating, for example, to their origin, their use or their destination and/or their advantages.
- Such an inscription is arranged to be visible to an observer on all or a part of the outer face concerned of the case or sheath 2, adjacent to the articles.
- the case or sheath 2, in the embodiment illustrated in FIG. I, when slid off the rack 1, may be deformed by folding to flattened condition along its longitudinal fold lines or scoring so that when it is flattened, it forms the aforementioned advertising or publicity panel designated generally by the reference numeral 20 in FIG. 2.
- the case or sheath 2 comprises longitudinal scorings or fold lines 21 and 22 along diagonally opposite locations which define large panels 23 and small panels 24. It bears, moreover, on the outer face of panel 23, limited by fold line or scorings 21, a first inscription shown here by example as the letters X, Y, Z.
- a second inscription shown here, by example, as the letters X, Y, Z in upside down and reverse relationship to letters X, Y, Z,
- the sec ond inscription X, Y, Z may be read directly only after the flattened casing, forming a panel, has been turned through 180 about a horizontal axis perpendicular to the panel, whereas the inscription X, Y, Z may be read directly.
- the inscription X, Y, Z is effected on a portion of the face 23 having a width equal to that of the face 24 and corresponding to the height of the vertical wall 13 of the rack 1 for the articles. That inscription X, Y, Z is followed by patterns such as 25 arranged on the remaining portion of the face 23; these patterns are neutral, that is, they may be observed just as well with either side up.
- the other two faces of the casing may also bear identical and/or different inscriptions in relation to those borne respectively by the faces 23 and 24, set out in a like manner, the non-visible large face bearing, like the face 23, neutral patterns.
- the inscriptions borne by the various faces of the panel may, for
- the rack 1 for articles comprises two vertical slots and 16 formed in the rear face of the vertical wall 13 respectively in the vicinity of its two lateral edges. Those two slots are intended for reception of the two edges of the publicity panel 20, formed by the flattened sheath 2 for fixation of the folded sheath 2 thereof on the rack.
- the sheath 2 has, for that purpose, two transverse fold lines or scorings 26 and 27 provided adjacent the periphery of the sheath, in the vicinity of its two ends, these fold lines or scorings 26 and 27 enhance insertion of the two end edge portions of the panel of folded sheath 2, in the slots 15 and 16 provided in the rear wall 13 of the support 1.
- the inscription selected here X, Y, Z may be, that inscription lies above the level of the articles 3 and faces toward the front of the said display rack l and is visible with the patterns such as at that time, the inscription X, Y Z borne by the face 24 is, on the contrary, hidden by the vertical wall 13 and any other two inscriptions borne by the other two faces of the sheath are located on the rear faces of the folded sheath.
- the rack l for articles is a unitary structure and is made, to great advantage, of a slightly compressible substance; it can, for example, be made of an expanded plastic substance such as expanded polystyrene; and the sheath 2 intended to provide the panel 20, is, for example, made of cardboard.
- Article display package comprising an articlecarrying support, a paralleleliped removable protective sleeve mountable on the support to enclose articles carried on said support, said sleeve having on at least two consecutive outer surfaces a separate publicity mes sage, the said sleeve being scored along two of its longitudinal edges so that on removable from the support said sleeve may be flattened by folding solely along said scored longitudinal edges, so as to form a flat publicity panel one side of which comprises the said two publicity messages, said support comprising a base on which said articles are carried and an upstanding lateral wall, said wall having vertical slots, each for accommodating at least one portion of each of the lateral edges of the panel resulting from folding of said sleeve, said edges serving thus for fastening the said panel on the said wall so that only a single message at one time will be visible opposite the articles carried by the support and oriented so that such message can be interpreted directly by a viewer.
- Article display package characterized in that the said sleeve has a cross-section of a quadrilateral shape and that each at least two of its outside faces includes a publicity message, each such message being applied on at least one portion of a corresponding face so that when said panel is fastened to said support only a selected one of the messages may be visible at such time adjacent to the articles and be positioned in a direction making it possible for an observer to interpret such one message directly.
- the said sleeve comprises two transverse scorings along the circumference of the sleeve respectively in proximity to the extremities of the sleeve to permit the engagement of the lateral edges of the panel in the respective slots.
