Abstract
A packaging system receives objects for display and sale. The system includes an outer sleeve that has a surrounding sleeve wall with an open end and a window opening so as to have an open interior. A housing can be inserted through the open end of the sleeve so that the housing becomes encased in the sleeve. The housing includes a housing wall that has a raised portion that defines a shoulder to engage an edge portion of the window opening thereby to resist removal of the housing from the sleeve. The housing may include a base member and a cover member that nest with one another. The raised portion of the housing may be bowed and may have a pair of shoulders that abut opposite edge portions of the window opening. The edge portions and the shoulders may be arcuate in configuration.
Claims22
A packaging system adapted to receive an object for display and sale, comprising:
- (A) an outer sleeve including a surrounding sleeve wall defining an open interior with at least one open end, said sleeve wall having a window opening formed therein of a selected size and geometric shape so as to have a peripheral window edge;
- and
- (B) a housing sized and adapted for close-fitted insertion through the at least one open end so that said housing is encased in said sleeve, said housing including a housing wall that has raised portion disposed thereon so as to define a shoulder, said raised portion having a size and shape adapted to engage the window opening in an engaged state such that the shoulder abuts an edge portion of the peripheral window edge when in the engaged state thereby to resist removal of said housing from the interior of said sleeve.
A packaging system adapted to receive an object for display and sale, comprising:
- (A) an outer sleeve having a generally rectangular cross-section and including a sleeve top wall, a sleeve bottom wall and a pair of sleeve side walls defining an open interior with opposite open ends, said sleeve top wall having a window opening formed therein of a selected size and geometric shape so as to have a peripheral window edge;
- and
- (B) a housing having a generally rectangular cross-section and sized and adapted for close-fitted insertion through a selected open end of said sleeve so that said housing is encased in said sleeve, said housing including housing upper wall that has raised portion disposed thereon between opposite upper wall margins so as to define a pair of oppositely disposed shoulders, said raised portion having a size and shape adapted to engage the window opening in an engaged state such that the shoulders each abuts an edge portion of the peripheral window edge when in the engaged state thereby to resist removal of said housing from the interior of said sleeve.
A packaging system adapted to receive an object for display and sale, comprising:
- (A) a tubular outer sleeve of generally rectangular cross-section including a sleeve bottom wall, a sleeve top wall and a pair of sleeve side walls defining an open interior extending longitudinally of a central sleeve axis between a pair of open ends, said top wall having a window opening formed therein of a selected size and geometric shape so as to have a peripheral window edge;
- and
- (B) an inner housing of generally rectangular cross-section sized and adapted for close-fitted telescopic insertion through one of said one open ends so that said housing is encased in said sleeve, said housing including
- (1) a base member having at least one cavity adapted to hold the object for display and sale, and
- (2) a cover member adapted to nestably receive said base member and enclose the cavity when in a nested state, said cover member including an upper wall and a pair of cover member side walls, said upper wall having a raised portion disposed thereon so as to define a shoulder, said raised portion having a size and shape adapted to engage the window opening in an engaged state such that the shoulder abuts an edge portion of the peripheral window edge when in the engaged state thereby to resist removal of said housing from the interior of said sleeve.
