FIELD OF THE INVENTION

Corrugated paperboard displays for holding, retaining, and the controlled dispensing of packaged goods in a retail sales environment.


DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART

Paperboard displays are widely used to display products for sale in a retail environment. Many such displays are dedicated to holding and supporting product and leave little room for textual and graphical information about the product. The present invention is directed to a display that provides a large surface area of print space when in a deployed condition but much less surface area when in a stowed condition.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

A corrugated paper display moveable from a stowed condition to a display condition is described herein. The corrugated paper display has a first rectangular sleeve folded from a first blank of corrugated paper having a back wall panel, a front wall panel, a top surface panel, and two opposed side wall panels. Each of the side wall panels having a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge opposed to the first lateral edge. The first lateral edge is connected respectively to opposed lateral edges of the back wall. The second lateral edge is connected to a segmented shelf support panel. The segmented shelf support panel has a pair of shelf support flaps separated by a gap. The shelf support flaps are hingedly connected to the shelf support panel and are folded 180° downward in contact with an inner surface of the side wall from which it depends to support a shelf. A shelf is positioned in the gap and is folded from a second blank of corrugated paper. The shelf is supported at opposed ends by the shelf support flaps when the display is in the deployed condition. The display has a third panel folded from a third blank of corrugated material and has a front panel and two side panels extending from opposed lateral edges of the front panel and extending orthogonally therefrom. When in the stowed condition, a first planar surface of the front panel is in contact with a portion of the first rectangular sleeve and is stacked on top thereof to form a body having a first height. When in the deployed condition, the third panel is hingedly connected to the first rectangular sleeve to form a body of a second height which is 1.5 to 2.5 times greater than the first height. A hinge connects the third panel to the first rectangular sleeve to allow movement from the stowed condition to the deployed condition.


Also disclosed is a corrugated paper display moveable from a stowed condition to a deployed condition. The display has a back wall panel, a front wall panel, a top surface panel, and two opposed side wall panels. Each of the two opposed side walls have a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge opposed to the first lateral edge. The first lateral edge is connected respectively to opposed lateral edges of the back wall. The second lateral edge is connected to a segmented shelf support panel. The segmented shelf support panel has a pair of a shelf support flap and a gap in vertical spaced relationship when the display is in the deployed condition. The shelf support flaps are hingedly connected to the shelf support panel and are folded 180° downward in contact with an inner surface of the side wall from which it depends to support a shelf. The display has a first shelf and a second shelf positioned in the gaps. A third panel is folded from a fourth blank of corrugated material and has a front panel and two side panels extending from opposed lateral edges of the front panel and extend orthogonally therefrom. When in the stowed condition a first planar surface of the front panel is in contact with a portion of the first rectangular sleeve and is stacked on top thereof to form a body having a first height. When in the deployed condition, the third panel is hingedly connected to the first rectangular sleeve to form a body of a second height which is 1.5 to 2.5 times greater than the first height. A hinge connects the third panel to the first rectangular sleeve to allow movement from the stowed condition to the deployed condition.


Other features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following specification taken in conjunction with the following Figures and Attachments.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

While this invention is susceptible of embodiments in many different forms, there is shown in the drawings and will herein be described in detail preferred embodiments of the invention with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered as an exemplification of the principles of the invention and is not intended to limit the broad aspect of the invention to the embodiments illustrated.



FIGS. 1-5 show a display 10 for use in the sale of items in a retail sales environment, for example. FIG. 1 shows the display 10 in a stowed condition, and FIG. 2 shows the display 10 in a deployed condition. The stowed condition is used during shipment and storage of the display. When in the stowed condition, the blanks that make up the display are disposed in a nested configuration—blank 22 is in contact with blank 26. The display when in a stowed condition utilizes less volume and surface area than when the display is in the deployed condition. In the deployed condition, the display provides a first portion 12 for holding and displaying packaged products for sale (products not shown). The display 10 provides a second portion 14 for displaying graphic and textual subject matter to provide information such as, e.g., the product name, a description of the product, the price, and why you should buy it. The graphic and textual matter can be printed onto the display or applied in stickers or other fashion that is well known to those of ordinary skill in the art.



FIGS. 1 and 2 show the display 10 has a plurality of rectangular display compartments 60 vertically spaced from one another and extending in parallel spaced relationship with one another between the opposed side walls 46. Three such rectangular display compartments 60 are shown but fewer or greater number can be provided based upon the product display size and shape. It is contemplated any number of display compartments 60 could be provided from 1 to 100, but more likely would be from two to 24, and most preferably from two to 12. Two shelves 64 are shown in the display, although a single shelf 64 could be used or more than two shelves 64 could also be used.


The display 10 has a rectangular sleeve 20 folded from a first blank of material 22 shown in FIG. 3. The display 10 has a graphics extension panel 24 folded from a second blank 26 shown in FIG. 4. The display 10 also has two shelves 64 each individually folded from a third blank 30 of FIG. 5. The graphics extension panel 24 is hingedly connected to the rectangular sleeve 20 with a tab such as 178 in FIG. 13.13 from one of the parts engaging a slot such as 180 in FIG. 13.13 from another of the parts (See FIGS. 13.11-13.14) or using an adjust-a-lok fastener 11 of FIG. 7 as will be described below with reference to FIGS. 21.1-21.27. When in the stowed condition a height dimension of the assembly is shorter than when in the deployed condition. A height dimension of the display in the deployed condition is from 1.5 to 2.5 times larger than when in the stowed condition.



FIG. 3 shows the blank 22 having a first wing 16 and a second wing 18 connected together along a fold line 19. Each of the first wing 16 and the second wing 18 have multiple panels. The first wing 16 has two opposed side wall panels 46 each terminating at opposed ends with a top tab 47 and a bottom tab 48. A portion of an inner lateral edge of the top tab and bottom tab is removed to form a notch 61. On an inner lateral edge of each side panel 46 extends a segmented shelf support panel. A cutout 49 separates inner edges of the side wall panels 46, and when the display is in a deployed condition, the cutout 49 forms an opening or access to the rectangular display compartments 60. Each segmented side panel has a head flange 50, a tail flange 53, and two shelf support flaps 51 adjacent two gaps 52. The gaps 52 and support flaps 51 are to receive and support opposed ends of a shelf 64 folded from a blank 30 of FIG. 5, which shall be described below.


The first wing 16 also has a front panel 56, a bottom panel 54, a tab 55, and a bottom wall panel 57 connected by a fold line 58 to a top edge of the front panel 56. These when deployed will form a bottom portion of the rectangular sleeve.


The second wing 18 of the blank 22 (FIG. 3) has a back wall 44 with two C-shaped cutouts 31 spaced vertically from one another, and two square cutouts 32 horizontally spaced from one another and proximate a top edge of the back panel 44. The back wall has a pair of tabs 33 spaced along a bottom edge of the back wall 44. The second wing also has a top panel 2, a header panel 3, for supporting graphical and textual material, and a cover panel 4 that serves to hide the hollow chamber behind the header panel.



FIG. 4 shows the blank 26 for forming the graphics extension panel has a front panel 70 flanked by two side panels 72 opposed to one another. A hole 74 is provided on each of the two side panels 72 proximate a top end 76. As shown in FIG. 21.11, the hole 74 is placed in alignment with a hole 75 in the side wall 46. A male fastener is inserted through the aligned holes from one side, and a female fastener 76 is inserted into the aligned holes from the opposite side. Threads in the male fastener are mated with threads on the female fastener to releasably, and hingedly attach the graphics extension panel 24 to the rectangular sleeve 20. A bottom tab 78 extends from a bottom end 79 of the front panel. To erect the panel extension 26, the side panels 72 are folded along fold lines 80 to be orthogonal to the front panel 70 and the bottom tab 78 is folded along fold line 79 180°, and an outer planar surface of the tab is attached to an inner planar surface of the front panel 70 by an adhesive to create rigidity in the panel to prevent false scoring.


Now for a description of a shelf 64. As best seen in FIGS. 5 and 21.12-21.17, the shelf 64 is deployed from a blank 30. The blank 30 has a first base panel 31, a second base panel 33, two back panels 32. A first pair of side panels 34 extend from opposed lateral edges of the second base panel 33. A second pair of side panels 35 extend from opposed lateral edges of one of the back panels 32. A portion of the side panels 35 is removed to form a gap 43, or a slot 43, respectively of when the display is in the stowed condition or the deployed condition. The blank 30 also has a pair of tabs 36 on a proximal edge of the second base panel 33, and a pair of slots 37 on a proximal edge of the first base panel 31. The blank has a first fold line 38 and a second fold line 39 extending in parallel spaced relationship. The blank also has tab 40 extending from a distal edge of the first side panel 31 along a hinge 41.


One preferred sequence of folding the blank 30 is shown in FIGS. 21.12-21.17. First the side panels 34 and 35 are folded at 900 into the form of a C-shaped body, and the blank 30 is folded along fold line 38 90° placing the first and second back panels 32, the first base panel 31, and the tab 40 in a first plane perpendicular to a second plane extending through the second base panel 33 (FIG. 21.13) to define an L-shaped body. With reference to FIG. 5, one has to imagine the tab 40, the first base panel 31, etc., are coming out of the paper at a 90° angle and the second base panel 33 is in the plane of the paper. Now the L-shaped body of FIG. 21.13 is folded along line 41 to form a Z-shaped body in FIG. 21.14. The blank 30 is then folded along line 39 such that the back panels are folded upon themselves to form a double thickness back wall 44. The first base panel 31 is folded on top of the second base panel 33 to form a double thickness base wall. The tab 40 is folded down 90° (FIG. 21.16) between the side panels 34. The shelf 64 is now ready for use in the rectangular sleeve as will now be described.



FIGS. 21.18-21.27 show the sequence of incorporating a shelf 64 into the rectangular compartments 60 and the process will be repeated for additional shelves. The shelf 64 is aligned with the gaps 52 and slid into the compartment. A portion of the back panel 32 is inserted through the slot 31 in the back wall 44 to support the shelf as is shown in FIG. 21.20. The shelf support flaps 51 are folded downward and inward 270° into contact with an inner surface of the side wall 46 and the side panels 35 are folded inward to support the shelf 64 as is shown in FIGS. 21.22-21.24. The bottom wall is then folded as shown to complete the rectangular sleeve portion of the display.



FIGS. 8-12 show an alternative display 100 much the same as shown in FIGS. 1-5 but with some differences. The display 100 has a rectangular sleeve 102 folded from a first blank 104 of FIG. 9, and a graphic extension panel 124 folded from a second blank 106 of FIG. 12. The graphic extension panel 124 is connected to the rectangular sleeve with tabs on the graphic panel engaging slots in the rectangular sleeve and without the use of the fasteners shown above. (See FIGS. 13.13 and 13.14) However, the adjust-a-lok fastener could also be used. Two rectangular display compartments 160 extend in parallel spaced relationship between the opposed side walls 146.



FIG. 9 shows the blank 104 which can be folded by a hand of a user of the display (as is set forth in detail in FIGS. 13.1-13.28 and described below) for forming the rectangular sleeve 102. The blank 104 has a first wing 110 hingedly connected to a second wing 112. Each wing 110,112 has several panels. The first wing 110 has a top panel 140 at one end of the blank, and a bottom panel 141 at an opposed end of the blank 104. A pair of opposed side panels 146 extend from lateral edges of the first wing 110. Both the top panel and bottom panel 140,141 terminate at a distal end in a tab 114 connected by a hinge. At a central point of the tab 114, on a proximal edge thereof, is a combination tab/slot 115. One of the side walls 146, the one on the right in FIG. 13.1, has two combination tab and slots 116 spaced along a leading edge of the side wall 146. Each opposed top and bottom end of the side walls terminate respectively in a top tab or a bottom tab 118 separated by a hinge.


A top header panel 150 is connected to the top panel 140 along a hinge. Two shelf panels 120 extend in parallel spaced relationship between the opposed side walls 146 and terminate at opposed ends with a combination of a lateral shelf tab 122 and lateral shelf tab slot 124. A vertical surface 121 is associated with each shelf panel 120 and can serve as a lip to hold products in the display, and as a surface to support graphical and textual subject matter. In FIGS. 13.1 and 13.2, during folding of the blank 104, the lateral shelf tab 122 remains in the same plane as the shelf panel, but the lateral shelf tab slot 124 moves with the side wall 146 to a position perpendicular thereto, and the lateral shelf tab 122 is inserted into the lateral shelf tab slot 124 to retain the side wall 146 perpendicular to the back wall.


The second wing 112 has a back panel 144, an inside side wall 126, a combination top tab and slot 127, a combination bottom tab and slot 128, and two side tab and slot combinations 129 spaced from one another along a lateral edge of the second wing 112. On a leading edge of the inside side wall panel 126 has two cutouts 130 spaced from one another. The back panel 144 has two C-shaped cutouts 131 spaced vertically from one another and two square cutouts 132 horizontally spaced from one another and proximate a top edge of the second wing 112.


The graphics extension panel is folded from the blank 106 shown in FIG. 12 and FIGS. 13.9-13.12. The blank 106 has a front panel 170, opposed side panels 172, a top flap 175, and a bottom flap 176. The top flap 175 has a flap panel 177 and two tabs 178 horizontally spaced from one another and attached to a leading edge 179 of the flap panel 177. The tabs 178 are segmented. The bottom flap 176 has a panel 183, a tab 184 extending from the panel 183 and having two, horizontally spaced flanges 185. The bottom flap 176 also has two side tabs 186 extending from lateral edges of the panel 183.


An optional platform can be placed on top of the shelves 120 or the shelves 64 in FIG. 2 to support products a little higher in the rectangular compartments and is folded from a blank 108 shown in FIGS. 10, 13.15, and 13.16. The folded platform is placed directly on top of the shelves 120 or the shelves 64 in FIG. 2.



FIG. 11 shows a blank 168 for forming a divider. Each of the rectangular display compartments 160 shown in FIG. 8 are further divided into four sub-chambers 165 by a divider 166 folded from the blank 168 of FIG. 11 and as shown in FIGS. 13.17 and 13.18. A front edge of the divider 166 has a portion removed 170 to provide access to the products by a consumer or user of the display. Two such rectangular display compartments 160 are shown with eight sub-chambers but fewer or greater number of compartments or sub-chambers 165 can be provided based upon the product display size and shape. It is contemplated any number of display compartments 160 and sub-chambers 165 could be provided from 1 to 100, but more likely would be from two to 24, and most preferably from two to 12. The divider 166 can also be placed in the display compartments shown in FIG. 1.



FIGS. 13.19A-D-13.21 show an optional BR filler 190 which is essentially a rectangular shaped box that is inserted into a subchamber to fill space.



FIGS. 13.1-13.8 show the folding of the blank 104 into the rectangular sleeve 102. The blank 104 is placed flat on a surface and the second wing 112 is folded toward the first wing until the side wall 146 is perpendicular to the second wing and the back panel 144 is folded an additional 90° to be in a parallel plane to the second wing and vertically spaced therefrom. The inside side wall 126 is folded an additional 90° until a leading edge of the inside side wall 126 is in contact with the back wall. (FIG. 13.2) The other side wall 146 is folded 90° from the back wall and is in face-to-face contact with the inside side wall 126 to form a sidewall with double thickness. (FIG. 13.3) The tabs are folded as indicated to form the rectangular sleeve 102 secured together to prevent unfolding as is shown in FIGS. 13.4-13.6. The shelves are then folded into position as shown in FIGS. 13.7 and 13.8 and a portion of each shelf extends through the C-shaped slot 131 of the back wall 144 to support the shelf. This completes the assembly of the rectangular sleeve 102.


The graphics panel extension 124 is folded from the blank 106 into a rectangular body and the tabs 178 are inserted into slots 180 of the rectangular sleeve to hingedly connect the two parts as is shown in FIGS. 13.13 and 13.14. When in the deployed condition, the graphics panel extension 124 extends from the rectangular sleeve 102. (FIG. 13.13) When in the stowed condition, the graphics panel extension 124 is folded upward so that a panel 184 of the graphics panel extension 124 is in contact with a bottom surface of the rectangular sleeve 102 and the rectangular compartment encompasses the side walls and the back wall. When in the stowed condition a height dimension of the assembly is shorter than when in the deployed condition. A height dimension of the display in the deployed condition is from 1.5 to 2.5 times larger than when in the stowed condition.



FIGS. 14-20 show an alternative display 200 of the present invention in the stowed condition in FIG. 14 and in a deployed condition in FIG. 15. The display 200 has a rectangular sleeve 220 folded from a first blank of material 222 shown in FIG. 16. The display 200 has a graphics extension panel 224 folded from a second blank 226 shown in FIG. 19. The display 200 also has two shelves 228 each individually folded from a third blank 230 of FIG. 17. The display also has and a false bottom 229 as shown in FIG. 24.
