DISPLAY-BOX.

' Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed July 22, 1909. Serial No. 508,903.

Patented Aug. 23, 1910.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, IsAAo W. LEVI, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city, county, and State of New York,

have invented a new and useful lmprove ment in Display-Boxes, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to rovide a neat and attractive box whichwill highl ornamental in appearance and which wi 1 display suspenders to the best advantage. This object is accomplished by my invention, one embodiment of' which is hereinafter described.

For a more particular description of my invention reference is to be had to-the accompanying drawings forming a part hereto, in Which-;

Figure lis aplan view of my improved box in its closed condition. Fig. 2 is a sec tional view taken on theline 2-2-of Fig. l,

looking in the direction of the arrows. Fig.

3 is a plan View of the box with upper parts of a Suspender broken away to more clearly reveal the structure. Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3 looking in the direction of-the arrows. Fig. 5

, nate similar parts.

showsa portion of the supporting means for the suspenders. Y

Throughout the various lviews of the] drawings, similar reference characters desig- My improved box 1 has a. cover 2' and a bottom 3, the character l' being used generic-1 ally to designate the entire structure. The

cover 2 is surrounded by a border or frame 4 which is angular in cross section and. .hiighlyornamental in character so as to set the picture 5 on the cover 2 or to display the goods, more advantageously in the bottom 3 when the cover 2 is removed. This border or frame'4 is an independent. entity and ban be physically removed from one box and placed on another of the same size. Its presence adds greatly to the appearance of the box.

The suspenders 6 are supported in the bot-.

tom .3 in the following.manner:'The support 7 has short ends'8 and 9 bent 'so as to rest snug against the bottom as shown in Fig. 4

and thereby hold the support 7 which is practically a false bottom. This support 7 has a pair of slots 10 at each edge and not quite at the middle and preferably placed substantially as shown. These slots 10 form tongues 11 at each edge which take 'into a portion of the suspender and hold the same in the box and yet are entirely concealed. Adjacent to the folded'end 9 of the 'support.7 are'slots' 12 through which portions of the Suspender ass when the same is placed in the box so t at the parts on the support 7 lie smooth and even.

While I hav'- shown and described one 'embodimentsof m'y invention it is, obvious that it is not limited theretoas the details may be.varied. without departing from its spirit. U

Having thus described-my invention, what I-claim is" In a deviceof the class described, a bottom with a support therein adaptedto se-- cure a pair of suspenders, said support liaving two pairsof parallel slots, ends at right angles to the main body of the support and slots near one of said ends through which portions of the suspenders displayed in the box are adapted to pass.
