BOTTLE HANGER Filed July 27. 1939 INVENTOR j. y 5- Jo/wv m Gees/vs MAM v ATroRNEY5 Patented Oct. 1, 1940 UNITED STATES BOTTLE HANGER John M. Greene, Waukesha, Wis.
Application July 27, 1939, Serial No. 286,812
Claims.
This invention relates to bottle hangers or advertising displays in the form of collars applicable to milk and other bottles.
t is the object of the invention to provide a novel and distinctive form of hanger, readily cut with a minimum of waste from sheet material and readily assembled and mounted on a bottle to provide a display card supported both at its top and bottom margins by means of a strap extending helically about the bottle.
It is common to cut from a single piece of stock a display card and strap detachably connectible to constitute a collar applicable to a bottle. In the past, however, the strap has frequently been cut arcuately in order to fit it to the bottle. It is a primary feature and object of the present invention to provide a construction in which a strap is extended helically from the top of the display card at one side to its bottom corner at the other side, and so connected with the card that the strap will engage the frusto-conical neck of a bottle without being made from an arcuate blank.
It is a further very important object of the invention to provide a collar inwhich at least the display card, and preferably all portions of the collar other than its lower margin, are supported free of the surface of the bottle. Bottles are frequently wet, either at the time of application of the collar or subsequently. It has been a fault of some collars in the past that they have tended to adhere to the wet surface of the bottle, thereby tending to obliterate the message, and also destroying the strength of the stock so that it may be lost from the bottle or may be destroyed and rendered impossible of preservation when removed.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a front elevation showing a device embodying the invention applied to a milk bottle.
Figure 2 is a view in rear elevation of the device shown in Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a view in rear elevation of a slight- 1y modified embodiment of the invention.
Figure 4 is a view in plan of the blank of which the device shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 is made.
Figure 5 is a view in plan of the blank from which the Figure 3 device is made.
Like parts are identified by the same reference characters throughout the several views.
The device comprises a generally rectilinear display card which is shown at 6 in Figures 1, 2 and 4, and at 6B in Figures 3 and 5. From the top corner of the display card at one side thereof, extends a strap which is designated l in Figures 1, 2 and 4, and in Figures 3 and 5. The strap is straight on its top edge, but the lower edge preferably embodies a substantial offset from the lower edge of the card. The beveling of the strap at 8 is entirely optional to remove surplus stock.
The free end portion of the strap, adjacent the bevel 8, is made to interlock with the corner of the card diagonally opposite the card corner from which the strap originates. In the preferred embodiment of the invention the end of the strap is provided with a slit at 9 and the corner-of the card is made to provide the peculiarly shaped tongue shown at it with vertically oiiset shoulders at Hand I2 respectively.
When the strap is curved in helical shape to connect its free end with tongue ll) of the card, the helical shape of the strap also causes it to flare. Thus the strap is in general conformity with the surface of the bottle neck while the card 6, supported by the strap both at its top and bottom, stands in a generally erect position at the front of the bottle where the advertising matter printed thereon is displayed in a very legible manner, and in a position substantially entirely out of contact with the surface of the bottle, and hence protected from moisture which may be present on said surface. In the preferred form of the invention, the collar will contact the neck of the bottle only along the lower margin of the strap and of the card.
The form of the tongue IE! is such that its shoulder portions engage in the slit 9 in a manner tending to hold the strap I or it in its helical position with its lower margin flared as clearly shown in Figures 1 and 2. Obviously either of the forms of the device illustrated may be cut from a single piece of sheet stock with a minimum of Waste.
I claim:
1. A bottle hanger comprising the combination with a display card, of a helically extending bottle-encircling strap connected with the card at different elevations on its respective sides and adapted to conform in a general way to the neckv of a bottle by reason of the helical position in which it is held by its connection to said card rather than by the form in which the strap is cut.
2. A bottle, hanger comprising the combination with a display card, of a strap connected with the card adjacent the top portion of one side thereof and extending thence helically to a point of connection with the card adjacent the bottom portion of its opposite side, said card and strap being provided with means interconnecting them at said last mentioned portion.
3. In a bottle hanger blank, the combination with a card, of a strap constituting a substantially rectilinear extension of its top at one side, said strap and an obliquely opposite portion of said card at a lower level being provided with integral means for their interlocking connection.
4. A bottle and a blank comprising the combination with a card portion having top and bot tom edges, of a strap portion constituting a substantially rectilinear and integral lateral extension of said card portion in substantial alignment with one of said edges, the free end of said strap portion and the card portion adjacent its opposite side and edge being provided with mutually interengageable means constituting a tongue and slit connection adapted to maintain said strap portion in a helical position.
5. In a device of the character described, the combination with a card portion provided with a tongue having offset shoulders at its opposite sides, said tongue being located adjacent one corner of said card portion, of a strap extending integrally from a diagonally opposite part of said card portion and provided with a free end having a slit with which at least one of the offset shoulders of said tongue is engageable.
