    (54) Packaging and display


    (57) A display device for a torch l3 with an enlarged head comprises a display panel l which can be suspended by means of a slot 3, a hinged loop 6 at the lower edge of the panel, which in use extends obliquely and fits round the underside of the torch head, on a hinged tab 8 on the lower edge of the panel inside the loop, which is pivoted forwards so as to seat on the torch lens 33 and against the inside of the lens rim l6. By these means the torch is reliably held suspended, but can be handled by a prospective purchaser and can be easily removed from the device and replaced in it.
