ABSTRACT:
An open-front carton for packaging and displaying a toy vehicle, the carton having an internal locking device to prevent unauthorized withdrawal of the vehicle. The carton includes a back wall, a bottom wall and a platform elevated thereabove, the vehicle being snugly received within the carton so that its inner wheels lie adjacent the back wall, and its outer wheels lie adjacent the open front. The locking device is constituted by cooperating major and minor flaps. The major flap is cut out of the platform to define a leading edge and a fold line both parallel to the rear wall, the minor flap being cut out of the bottom wall to define a leading edge and a fold line both at right angles to the back wall. The major flap is provided at its middle with a transverse slot aligned with the minor flap fold line whereby when the minor flap is folded in, it engages and raises the major flap, the leading edge of the minor flap then entering the slot to maintain this flap in an upstanding position. The leading edge of the minor flap is notched to form a rest that is engaged by the raised major flap and acts to maintain this flap at an angle to the platform, thereby creating a barrier behind the inner wheels preventing removal of the vehicle from the carton.
