Abstract
A novelty package formable from a single blank, the package including a primary panel having a window, a secondary panel behind the primary panel and having a first area normally visible through the window and a second area visible through the window on sliding of the panels with respect to each other, and a flexible back on the package for normally holding the panels in a first position while allowing the panels to be slid with respect to each other. The package is intended to retain a product without impairing the slidable relation of the panels.
Claims6
A novelty package for receiving and retaining a product, said package comprising:
- a primary panel having a window defined therethrough;
- a secondary panel adjacent to said primary panel and slidably assembled with respect thereto, a first area of said secondary panel being normally visible through said window, and a second area of said secondary panel being visible through said window upon sliding of said secondary panel with respect to said primary panel;
- a back panel attached to the upper edge of said secondary panel and to the lower edge of said primary panel, and spaced apart from said primary and secondary panels to define a space therebetween for receiving the product within said novelty package;
- said back panel being longer than the combined length of said primary and secondary panels in assembly, so that said back panel provides a resilient means for normally urging said secondary panel to a first position in which said first area is visible through said window, and for yieldingly permitting said secondary panel to be slidably displaced to a second position with respect to said primary panel to align said second area with said window;
- and
- means associated with said primary panel to retain the product within said space in either slidable relation of said primary and secondary panels.
