Abstract
A display support in which a back wall is provided with a pair of horizontal walls; and a front concave wall which is a smooth concave curve without any folds therein extending continuously in an arc from the outer edge of one horizontal wall to the outer edge of the other horizontal wall. A fold line is provided in the back wall transverse to the back wall and parallel to the horizontal walls. By providing this fold line in the back wall at a specific location which is substantially equal to the sum of the lengths of the two horizontal walls and the back wall minus the linear length of the front concave wall divided by two, a minimum of indenting of the back wall is obtained in order to obtain the smooth contour of the front concave wall.
Claims12
A display support for an article of merchandise, said support comprising a back wall;
- a top horizontal wall;
- a bottom horizontal wall;
- said horizontal walls extending from said back wall;
- a smooth concave curved front wall without any folds therein extending continuously in an arc from the outer edge of the top horizontal wall to the outer edge of the bottom horizontal wall;
- at least one opening in the concave front wall for supporting merchandise to be displayed;
- said back wall being provided with a transverse score line parallel and adjacent to one of the horizontal walls and spaced from said one horizontal wall thereby permitting the back wall to bend at the transverse score line to maintain the smooth curvature of the front concave wall.
The display of container 6, wherein the said score lines are provided adjacent the top and bottom horizontal walls;
- the spacing of each score line from each top and bottom wall being determined by adding the length of said horizontal wall to the distance on the back wall from the horizontal wall to that portion of the securement section of the front wall to the back wall which is adjacent to said horizontal wall and subtracting from this sum the secant distance from the outer edge of the horizontal wall to said portion of the securement area adjacent thereto and dividing this diference by two.
