mm as mwr a To all-whom may concern 5 v wBekit known that 1,;FRANZ Lrsr, a of::the- United -btates, and a1 resident of Bronx, New; York city; in the county of Bronx-:and ,State of New York khave ina vented certain new i, and useful Improvements in J Merchandise-Display Boxes',' -,of
' which thefollowing, is a specification. 1:
, Theini' ention has =particularreference to 2 boxes for holding merchandise for display 'onstore counters,rglass caseslset thereon and,
the like, andinvolves certain improvements hereinafter pointed out on the display box made the subjectlof Letters xPatent No.1:
1,245,848 granted to me on November-27,
.The'box of my prop to support Jsaidi body portion in an open inclined position to. display itscontents, and: means for maintaining: said body and .cover portlons n them correct :relatlve position when the 'box is in its open displayf position andvrestingon' a counteryjor other smooth surface, saidi-means preferably' com-.
- acte'r to which my-invention :;pertains, is
that when the box is indisplay position an V v V v .IGIISIVQHQK substantlally'so, with the body; "10,-a rear end 16 to match against the rearv prising a plurality of hinged bracket gorn feet members slit fromjthe material ofithe cover and adapted when the cov'ervis turned i to verticalposition for supporting the body portion in 'gan inclined, display l position, to be turned uncler'saidbody portionandcoopcrate with the then'lower'end of the cover to firmly support; said body portion.
. n, One difficultyiwh'ch ihasbeen found to exist in the'use of displayzhoxes. of the characcidental push on the lower end of the box,
that the whole box becomes more or; less flattened or straightened outi andIunpreJ" sentable. The result just described is particularly liable to occurwvhen thezbox is set on-a smoothcounterlor glass case'or other surface omwhich it may readily slide when accidentally pushedj-qor even purposely moved. On eoflth'e main objects of my invention is tolproyide a 'display, box of'the character in question which withoutrcincrease of material or substantial if any 111- i fspecificationofLetters I fatent.
invention comprises a-body V or holding portion in which the goods are placed,;a hinged cover portion which may. close over saidbody-portion. andalso be t turned into vertical position andused as a fof the sid s 14 of said body. -i

T-hei invention will be fully can from the detailed description hereinafter presented, reference; being had to the -accompanyingdrawings, in which;
Figure-l isa perspective view -of a diiQl I play box, shown in open' position; embodying my invention;

J Fig."5 fis a sidewiewof thesame;
or foot memberj instead of the two bracketor*feet members;showninEigA. the drawings 10 -,designates the body portion of thelboxand 11 the'cover therefor.
l Thewbodyportion 10 is of rectangular out-- line :and
as-a bottom 12,-ends13 and f Thecoi rer has a which is coexend of said body and short sides 17, adapt V ed to lie close against the exterior surfaces are pronions being onthe rear portions of; said sidesjand preferably near the 'middle of the height of t e. ame: i
The 'jsides';17 of thecover l1 are formed with longitudinal slots 19, whosefront ends merga on, curved; lines into; substantially right angular slots 20. which afford seats 21., forthetrunnions 18' when the parts of the box are in their display relation shovvn'in Figs. 1,2 and-3,; The slots19 permit the f cover 11t0 he" slid rearward'ly over the body 10, or rearwardly from the position'of said cover shown in Fig. 5, andthen turneda upwardly into vertical position with the end 16 resting on a suitable support 22, as shown in Fig; "8; and when'the'coyerll 1s thus turned into vertical positio'n the -trunn1ons 18, either by a movement given to the cover in theinclined position in which the; body is shown in Figs; 1 and 3,'ijnwliich position 7 said body may properly display the mere chandise that maybe placed therein, whlle at the same time thethenfront face oftthe 7 cover may effectually expose any fidVGItlSG- ment or other matter that'flmay'be'; borne thereby.
- The box, aS'fQJI as the details thereofhave 7 been specifically referredtoyby' reference tical use and particularly when made to 'holdi'merchandise of-substantialwe1ght and placed on smooth counters or'other surfaces,
, top, whereby said fbrackets or feet become i inre'fiect hinged to said top and maybe I end 16 of the c'over l'i and afiordlexten'ded supports for the body 10, and'sa-id supports" jnume'r'als, while desirable in many respects has developed certain" difiiculties in prac and one of these difiiculties has beenthat the end 16 of the coverjbeing of l i mi'ted' surface? area haspermittedthe cover'to fold rturn rearwardlyv on sometimes even slightrearward pressure bein'g 'applied' to the bodyj10. My invention, provides means for pre-g venting the turning backwardlyofthe cover ll under the conditionsjust'explained, and saidmeans, inthe preferred construct on,
reside in the bracket or feet 23, 24; slit on" "three edges from the top 215 ofthe cover 11 and left integral at their outer-edge 2 5,- along scored or weakened lines, with I said turned 7 forwardly in-Iopposite 3 directions therefrom and hea -made toextend 'atright,
anglesto saidtop' andbelow' the rear ele vated 'portionef the bo'dy 'l0, as shown in Figs. 1,' 2 and 3; The forwardedgesjofxthe as shown in Fig 3-, Thebrackets or feet 23, 24, whenfin use,project-forwardly of the byftaking the-weight of the body 10 overcome any tendency of" thefcover- 1 1 to" fold backwardly and permit 'me to utilize "the I 7, weight of the body 10 for 'inaintaining the esc'over'infvertical position. -IIt='will-be seen 'scope of my invention:
. 7 7 ,VVhat I claim] as my' nventlon anddesire'i' as to turn the cover. backwardly,lwill*be re;
would have to lift the rear'endofvthe box before the 'cov'er could fold backwardly. i
that i ruretendifig the box 1 The lower edges of the brackets or feet 23, V
24 are of such length that they resist any tendency of the coverg llrto be accidentally turned forwardly. The brackets orffeet 23,- or' said body or both, are carried into-the, slots 20 a'nd find seats 21 therein, whereby said cover is enabled to support the body 10 Y 24 thus not only permitrather heavymer- 'chandise to be displayed in the box but re, sist any tendencyfofthe coverto be' a'ccidenta'llycollapsed either backwardly or foraseitheror both of'the feet 23,24.
I dofnot; limit my invention to all rthed'etails of form andi constrnction described,
7 since these may be varied within the scope 'of the appended claims; 'Forillustration,.
i the trunnionsl8icouldbe secured to the sides 17 of the -cover and the slots-19 formed in the sides 14; of the body 10,.this being a reversalf of location of parts but possessing the disadvantageithat the truimions would in adjusting; the cover, be "caused. :to' slide against the contents of the body 10. 3 vI- how-'- ever include such constructioniwithin the tosecure byLetters Patent, is-A; 1.
