Definitions

• This invention relates to temporary merchan ⁇ dising displays which are economical to produce and is well adapted for use in connection with heavy products such as soft drinks packaged in multiple cell carriers.
• a merchandising display comprises a base panel, a real panel secured to the base panel and extending upwardly therefrom, a pair of horizontal supports secured respectively to the sides of the base panel, a pair of upright supports secured respectively to the sides of the rear panel, and the lower edges of the upright supports being disposed in the same plane as the lower surfaces of the horizontal supports.
• FIG. 1 is a plan view of a blank from which a merchandising display is formed according to this invention
• FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing formation of the display
• FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a set-up display
• FIG. 4 is a fragmentary, view of the partially formed upper portion of the display
• FIG. 5 is a plan view of a set up display taken from the rear
• FIG. 6 is a plan view of a set up display taken from the bottom.
• the numeral 1 designates the base panel of the display to the rear edge of which rear panel 2 is foldably joined along fold line 3.
• Horizontal supports indicated generally by the " numerals 4 and 5 are foldably joined respectively to th side edges of base panel 1 along fold lines 6 and 7.
• upright supports indicated generally by the numerals 8 and 9 are foldably joined respectively to the side edges of rear panel 2 along fold lines 10 and 11.
• a front support indicated generally by the numeral 12 is foldably joined to the front edge of base panel 1 along fold line 13 and top panel 14 is foldably joined to the upper edge of rear panel 2 along fold line 15.
• horizontal support 4 is provided with supporting panels 16, 17, and 18 which are interconnected by fold lines 19 and 20.
• supporting panels 16 and 17 are slots 21 and 22.
• Horizontal support 5 is similar to that just described and includes supporting panels 23, 24, and 25 which are interconnected by means of fold lines 26 and 27. Slots 28 and 29 are formed in supporting panels 23 and 24.
• Upright support 8 is provided with supporting panels 30, 31, and 32 which are interconnected by means of fold lines 33 and 34 and, additionally, slot 35 is formed in supporting panels 30 and 31 and slot 36 is formed between the upper portions of supporting panels 30 and 31.
• upright support 9 is provided with supporting panels 37, 38 and 39 which are interconnect by means of fold lines 40 and 41.
• slot 42 is formed in supporting panel ' s 3.7 and 38 and slot .43 is .formed intermediate the ' upper portions- ;of supporting panel ' s.37 and 38.
• front support 12 In order to provide additional strength for the front.,of the display, front support 12 is provided and includes supporting panels 44, 45., and 46 which are interconnected by means of fold lines 47 and 48. Slots 49 and 50 are formed along the upper edge of supporting panel 46. Additionally tabs 51 and 52 are foldably . joined respectively to the end edges of supporting panel 44 along fold lines ' 53 and 54.
• top panel 14 is provided and includes fold line 55 as well as slots 56 and 57. Also tabs 58 and 59 are foldably joined' respectively to the end edges of top panel 14 along fold lines 60 and 61.
• the display blank is sometimes too large to be conveniently manufactured.
• the blank is simply produced in two pieces with the severerice point being along fold line 3.
• the two pieces are simply joined along the severerice line by means of adhesive tape or the like.
• reinforcing rib 62 is then inserted into position whereby, slots 63 and 64 are moved respectively into slots 22 and 29. In this manner the upper surface of reinforcing rib 62 assumes an abutting relationship with the underside of base panel 1.
• reinforcing rib 65 is provided as a means to interlock upright supports.8 and -9. Specifically slots 66 and 67 of reinforcing rib 65 are inserted into slots 35 and 42 respectively whereby the inner edge of reinforcing rib 65 assumes an abutting relationship with the rear surface of rear panel 2. Also each end edge of reinforcing ribs 62 and 65 forms a abutting relationship with the adjacent supporting panel and thereby provides additional display stability.
• front support 12 is rotated generally upwardly of base panel 1 into a tubular configura- tion and slots 49 and 50 are inserted respectively into slots 21 and 28. Simultaneously with this operation, tabs 51 and 52 are tucked into positions of flat face contacting relation with the inside surfaces of supporting panels 18 and 25 respectively.
• panels 44 and 46 are disposed parallel to each other as are panels 1 and 45. In addition the upper surface of supporting panel 46 is disposed in abutting relationship with the underside of base panel 1.
• top panel 14 is folded generally upwardly along fold line 15 and tabs 58 and 59 are folded generally inwardly along fold lines 60 and 61 respectively. Then slots 56 and 57 are inserted into locking engagement respectively with slots 36 and 43. After .completion of these operations, tabs.60 and 61 are disposed respectively in face contacting relation with the inner surfaces of supporting panels 32 and 39 and the outer corner portions of top panel 14 are disposed
• the display After the display is fully set up, it can be easily adapted to various merchandising requirements especially in connection with retail grocery store operations.
• the display can be placed in any temporary location in the store and then loaded with a product to be displayed such as cartons containing multiple soft drinks. Since the display is in effect interlocked at the critical points of stress, twisting and tearing of the display is prevented.
• reinforcing ribs 62 and 65 act to prevent sagging of base panel 1 and rear panel 2 respectively and the weight of the product on base panel 1 causes a tension force across fold line 3 which in turn aids in preventing rear panel 2 from folding backwards.
• the lower edges of upright supports 8 and 9 are disposed in the same plane as the lower surfaces of horizontal supports 4 and 5, the display is further maintained in a set up condition since rear panel 2 is in effect prevented from rotating away from base panel 1 and out of its proper position.
