ABSTRACT:
An improved display box of the type having a bottom, upstanding front and rear panels and sides cooperating to define an upwardly open container to receive and hold a selected commodity, such as candy, pastries, electronic parts, cosmetics or the like. A top is connected to the rear wall by a hinge such that the top may be pivoted to a closed position closing the container, or to an upright position exposing the contents of the container. To provide for display, the top includes a support panel extending a first distance from the hinge to a first score line. A display panel extends a second, greater distance from the first score line to a second score line. Completing the top is a lock flap which extends from the second score line to a leading edge. When the container is closed, the flap folds into the compartment. When it is desired to display the container contents, the top is folded 180.degree. about the first score line such that the display panel overlies the support panel and both such panels are in an upright position defining a display mast. In this position, the flap leading edge lies adjacent the bottom to resist forward pivoting of the mast. Additionally, the second score line is displaced relative to the underlying hinge such that the second score line and hinge are unable to cooperate to define a common pivot. The container further includes means for holding the mast rigidly in the upright position.
