ABSTRACT:
A shock resistant, generally tubular container for protecting and displaying fragile articles, such as bottles or decanters, is provided. It is constructed from a single blank of rigid material such as corrugated fiberboard. The container comprises a front wall section consisting of first and second front wall panels. First and second shadow panels are hingedly connected to the first and second front wall panels, respectively, and are folded inwardly from the plane of the front wall section towards the back wall section of the container to thereby form an aperture in the front wall section. A pair of oppositely disposed top and bottom wall panels are provided which are hingedly connected along a first pair of opposed outer edges of the front wall section. Each of the top and bottom wall panels includes a tuck flap hingedly connected along a back edge thereof. The tuck flap hinged to the bottom wall panel has a transverse slot therein. A pair of oppositely disposed end wall panels are hingedly connected along a second pair of opposed outer edges of the front wall section. A pair of back wall panels are provided which are hingedly connected along one edge of each of the end wall panels and which overlie the tuck flaps and meet to thereby form a substantially continuous back wall section for the container. Also provided are members for simultaneously locking the container in erected position and supporting the article of merchandise contained therewithin. These members comprise first and second tabs which are in face-to-face contact and are hingedly connected to one corner of each of the back wall panels. Each of the tabs is folded at a right angle to the back wall section and is inserted into the slot formed in the tuck flap of the bottom wall panel.
