DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The invention relates to a container made from a cardboard blank for articles of clothing, in particular sweaters, T-shirts, and the like, having a front section with a flap section joined by an intermediate section by way of fold lines, a rear section with a flap section joined by way of a told line, and an intermediate section with a grip hole or view hole connecting the front section to the rear section.
A folding container such as this is already known (U.S. Pat. No. 1,720,679), although it is not provided with a grip or view hole.
A folding container such as this is already known (U.S. Pat. No. 1,720,679), although it is not provided with a grip or view hole.
Such containers represent the state of the art but are used exclusively for transportation of articles of clothing from the clothing manufacturer to a sales outlet, where they are removed from the packaging and presented to the end user in a display case or are stacked on a shelf.
The object of the invention is to design a container such as that described in the foregoing so that it will be suitable both for transportation of articles of clothing and for presentation to the end user for sale.
This is achieved in that the front section has a popup flap unit in the area of one of its ends. This flap unit is formed by an incompletely closed cut line, preferably with an arc of approximately 300.degree..
The solution offered by this invention is based on the principle of providing the front section of a cardboard container in board form with an opening through which the article of clothing, and in particular the sewn on labels of an article of clothing, are viewed as they face outward. The folding section positioned behind the opening serves as a support, among other things, for the article of clothing viewable as it faces outward.
The invention is explained in what follows with reference to an example illustrated in the drawing, the article of clothing being represented by a T-shirt.
FIG. 1 shows a top view of the cardboard blank.
FIG. 2 is the same as FIG. 2, but with a T-shirt placed on the cardboard blank.
FIGS. 3 to 5 illustrate the process whereby the container is formed from the blank and the T-shirt is inserted into the container.
FIG. 6 shows the completed container as claimed for the invention, together with the article of clothing, as viewed from the bottom.
FIG. 7 is the same as FIG. 6, but shows the container claimed for the invention as viewed from the top.
The figures present a cardboard blank, cardboard or the like such as is commercially available being used as the stock.
The cardboard blank is cut out, stamped, and prefolded in such a way that the container claimed for the invention is formed from the cardboard blank by simple repositioning processes.
When assembled the container is more or less in the form of a board, the long sides being designated as 10 and 20. The central sides of this board are open, that is, there is no cardboard blank section for this area.
Between container sides 10 and 20 there is an intermediate piece 40 connected to corresponding section 10 and 20 by way of fold lines 33 and 34. Analogously, there is provided on container side 10 an intermediate piece 11 of equal size which is connected to side section 10 by way of a fold line 30. The other boundary of intermediate piece 11 is fold line 31, on which there is a flap section 12.
On side section 20 there is provided, by way of a fold line 32, a flap section 21 provided with a punch out opening 51. Intermediate piece 11 is outfitted with a slotshaped cutout 42 and intermediate piece 40 with a round opening 41 in order to permit observation of the interior of the finished container.
Section 10 is provided with a cut 50 in the form of a semicircular arc, so that a fold out section 52 is formed, but one which may also be joined to section 10.
It is to be pointed out that all sections belong to a single cardboard blank and form one piece.
In the situation illustrated in FIG. 2, folding section 52 is folded out upward and a T-shirt 60 is placed on this flap unit 52
