Abstract (en)

A package for the storage and display of merchandise has a base 12 with a display area 14 and a cover 18 having a broad top panel and at least one downwardly depending wall 28. The package includes a hinge assembly that permits the cover to remain in the open, display position with respect to the base. The hinge assembly comprises a ridge 32 extending upward from the base, a downwardly canted land that extends from the lower margin of the ridge, to support the cover in the open display position, and a pivoting flap 30 extending from a lower edge of one of the depending walls of the cover. The flap may be adhesively attached to a surface of the ridge, and the cover may pivot about the fold line between the flap and the depending wall, from the open to the closed position. The provision of a downward slant of the land permits the cover to reside in the open display position without springs or other ancillary devices. The cover may be prepared as a <<setup box>> construction, or may be assembled from a blank. The blank utilizes parallel exterior and interior top panels that lie in spaced apart relation to each other, to permit side wall locking panels to secure the side walls of the cover in fixed position abutting each other. The display package is of simplified construction, and facilitates, by its simplicity, bulk shipping and assembly at the site of use.
