Abstract
A modular watch box having a base with a watch holder disposed thereon is provided. The base also includes a feature ticket plate that is selectively removable from the base. A price tab ticket is also selectively insertible into a groove formed in the base. The base is releasably coupleable to a back panel by a snap-fit closure, and a front cover frictionally engages the base and back panel to obtain a secure closure. The front cover includes a cut-out portion and the back panel includes a slit in alignment with the groove in the base in order to allow a customized price tab ticket to be inserted into the box even when the box is close. Thus, each customer (retail supplier) of a watch sold in the present box may receive a desired price tab ticket with store information as well as model number and price information provided thereon.
Claims23
A modular watch box comprising a base;
- means for retaining a watch on said base;
- a tab holder formed on said base;
- and
- a cover selectively coupleable to said base and displaceable between a first position, wherein said cover envelopes at least said retaining means and said tab holder and a second position, wherein said cover does not envelope said retaining means and said tab holder;
- said cover defining an opening substantially aligned with said tab holder to selectively allow insertion and removal of a first information tab from said tab holder when said cover is secured to said base.
A modular watch pedestal adapted to releasably engage a cover, comprising:
- a platform having a top surface and a bottom surface;
- at least one side wall extending from said platform;
- a bottom wall coupled to said at least one side wall;
- said bottom surface of said platform, said at least one side wall and said bottom wall defining a compartment;
- means for holding a watch coupled to said top surface of said platform;
- and
- first indicating means selectively releasably coupled to said top surface of said platform.
A method of assembling a modular watch box including a base, a back panel and a front panel, wherein said base includes a top wall, a bottom wall and a side wall extending between a portion of the top wall and bottom wall thereby defining a space therebetween where said side wall does not extend between said top wall and said bottom wall, and said method comprising the steps of:
- providing said back panel with at least one rib having a first end and a second end said rib extending in an axial direction, such that it is aligned with said space in said base;
- displacing said back panel against said base such that one of said first end and said second end of said at least one rib bears against said side wall of said base;
- and
- displacing said front panel into frictional engagement with at least one of said back panel and said base.
A method of replacing an information tab from within a watch box without opening the watch box, wherein the watch box includes a base including an information tab holder and a watch box cover including a slit, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing the slit in the cover in alignment with the information tab holder of the base;
- removing a first information tab from said information tab holder by sliding same through said slit;
- and
- sliding a second information tab through said slit and into said information tab holder.
