ABSTRACT:
A display package for displaying an article contained therein in a plurality of positions. The package has a base, a lid hingedly mounted on the base, and a lock mechanism for securing the lid in a locked position on the base. The lid has a top wall formed with a plurality of mounting recesses adjacent an endwall and a sidewall for receiving the legs of a hanger therein. Each leg extends outwardly from a diamond-shaped body, and includes an upper portion coplanar with the body, a lower portion and a stepped shoulder extending between the upper and lower portions. Each lower portion also includes a foot extending toward the other leg. Each recess includes a flange extending over a portion thereof, and each flange has a nub extending outwardly therefrom. The foot of each leg is slidably received within a respective recess and slides past the nub which removably retains the hanger in a selected pair of recesses. The hanger is selectively positioned in a selected pair of recesses adjacent the endwall or the sidewall so that the display box may be oriented in at least two different positions to provide optimum viewing of the article enclosed therein.
