2 Claims. (Cl. 206-4519) This invention relates to a display box particularly designed for displaying bracelets or the like.

In display boxes of this type it is desirable that there be provided a center support around which the bracelet may be placed for displaying its outer surface, and it is desirable that this support be placed and held in the interior of the box with as much ease as possible.

One of the objects of this invention is to provide a construction of wall support and deck plate that may be easily assembled.

Another object of the invention is to provide a deck plate and wall of cardboard or of the same material of which the box is made.

More specifically an object of this invention is to provide a display wall which will snap into recesses provided in the deck plate.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction as will be more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the box in open position;

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the deck plate before the wall or support is attached;

Figure 3 is a perspective view of the wall alone;

Figure 4 is a sectional view taken through line 4-4 of the deck plate illustrating the position of the wall when attached;

Figure 5 is a sectional view taken on lines 55 of Figure 1 showing the manner in which the notches of the wall engage the deck plate; and

Figure 6 is a perspective view of the deck plate inserted in the box illustrating the manner in which the wall is assembled with the deck plate.

In proceeding with this invention I provide a body member and a cover member and hinge these two together so that when the cover is closed, the contents of the box is concealed and protected within the box. 1 also provide a deck plate which fits into the body of the box and by attaching one end of this tray to the cover member I provide a construction so that when the cover is swung from its closed position through substantially 90 degrees, such as by means of a spring hinge, the deck plate will be slightly lifted from within the body member of the box to an inclined position with reference to the bottom of the box. I provide a plurality of recesses or slots in the deck plate which may assume the shape of an elipse and a wall made out of flexible material which is provided with recesses and notches to fit within the recesses of the deck plate.

With reference to the drawings 10 designates the body member and 11 the cover member, the two members being hinged together along one edge thereof by a hinge, not shown. A deck plate 12 conforms generally to the shape or" the body member of the box and has a depending wall 13 and bottom support 14. This deck plate is loosely mounted in the body member of the box and is fastened to the cover member at its end nearest the hinge connection by any suitable means such as at 15. A score line 22 provides a hinge which enables the plate to fold into the body member 10 when the cover is closed.

The deck plate is provided with a plurality of slots such as 16 and 17 which preferably assume a pseudoelliptical shape. Although I show two slots, it is to be understood that any number may be provided.

A wall or support 18, preferably made from pliable material, such as cardboard which may be blanked from a flat sheet, is provided with notches 19 and 20 at the ends thereof and one or more undercut portions such as shown at 21. The bottom portion of the wall may be considered as having depending portions, or it may be considered that the bottom portion of the wall is provided with recesses such as shown at 21. Assuming the parts to be in the position shown in Figure 6, it will be seen that I attach the wall 18 to the deck plate 12 by inserting first the notches 19 and 20 into adjacent ends of slots 16 and 17. The wall 18 is then pressed into the recesses 16 and 17 and the undercut portion 21 in wall 18 being of dovetail form is snapped over the adjacent ends of recesses 16 and 17 which are diametrically opposite those into which notches 19 and 20 were placed. If the slots 16 and 17 are cut to be of a dimension equal to that of the wall 18, it will be seen that the resulting structure as shown in Figure 1 appears to be constructed of one integral piece of material.

I claim:

1. Av display comprising a box, a deck plate in said box having two oppositely arcuate slots with their ends spaced and together in the shape of a pseudo-ellipse, a one-piece wall with a notch in its lower edge intermediate its ends and in generally the form of the same shape pseudo-ellipse as said slots with spaced ends and with the lower portion of said Wall extending into said slots along the full length of the slots and with the upper portion along said notch bridging the space between adjacent ends of said slots at one location, the lower portions of the ends of the wall being notched and receiving in the notches the ends of the slot at another location, thereby restricting movement of the wall in a direction perpendicularly from said plate.

2. A display box as in claim 1 wherein the wall is constructed of bendable material and is at substantially a right angle to said deck plate.
