- This application claims the benefit of the filing date of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/667,261 filed Apr. 1, 2005, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
- When packaging and displaying various products, such as candy, the object is often to provide an appealing visual display container, while also functioning as a storage or shipping container for the product. One such prior art display container being used for candy is shown in
FIGS. 1-4 . This display container includes atransparent container 100 having an inwardly extendingcircular protrusion 102 at its bottom end and acover 104 having an outwardly extending correspondingcircular protrusion 106 at its top end. - The prior art containers provide a visually appealing display for candies and are also vertically stackable with each other. However, these containers do not fixedly interlock with each other when they are stacked due to the circular design of the protrusions, and therefore, they easily move and/or rotate during shipping or storage, which can result in damage to the candy inside. These known containers are generally unstable when stacked for shipment or storage. Accordingly, these containers often require that they be packaged in a sealed cardboard box for shipping in order to prevent any damage to the products disposed therein during shipping.
- Thus, there is an unsolved need in the art for display containers which overcome the problems associated with these known containers, such as those noted hereinabove that may occur during shipping and storage.
- The present invention generally relates to a display container having a cover. In accordance with one embodiment, a container includes a shell having a bottom with an inwardly extending non-circular protrusion and an open top; and a cover for the open top of the shell having an outwardly extending non-circular protrusion.
- Still more particularly, the invention relates to a container having a closed bottom section with an inwardly extending protrusion, and interconnected side walls connected to the bottom section; and a cover for the display container having a closed top section with an outwardly extending protrusion, and interconnected side walls connected to the top section. The outward protrusion located at the top of the container cover will interlock with the inward protrusion in the bottom of the adjacent container when the containers are stacked on top of each other making them substantially immovable and thus less susceptible to damage during shipping and storage.
- It is one aspect of the present invention to provide a container and cover combination comprising a container having a bottom with an inwardly extending non-circular protrusion and an open top; and a cover for said open top of said container having an outwardly extending non-circular protrusion, wherein said protrusion of said container and said protrusion of said cover are configured to interlock with each other when nested within each other to prevent rotation therebetween.
- It is yet another aspect of the present invention to provide a container and cover combination comprising a container having a bottom with an inwardly extending opening and an open top, and a cover for said open top of said container, said cover having an outwardly extending projection, said projection releasably nestable within said opening when said container is supported on said cover, said opening and said projection each having a shape which prevents rotation of said cover relative to said container when said projection is nested within said opening.
- It is also an object of the display container disclosed herein to provide a container with cover for displaying various products in an attractive and reliable manner while also discouraging the unintentional discharge of or damage to the products disposed therein during shipping and storage.
- The display container of the present invention preferably includes a transparent container with a closed bottom section with an inwardly extending non-circular protrusion; and a cover for the container having a closed top section with an outwardly extending correspondingly shaped non-circular protrusion.
- The preferred display containers of the present invention includes polygonal shaped protrusions at the top of the cover and at the bottom of the container so that they can be interlocked when the containers are stacked on top of each other.
- It should be understood that the drawings are provided for the purpose of illustration only and are not intended to define the limits of the invention.

- Referring first to
FIGS. 5-8 , there is shown, according to one embodiment of the invention, atransparent container 1 with a closedbottom section 3 with an inwardly extendingnon-circular protrusion 5 or opening, and interconnectedside walls 10 connected to thebottom section 3 forming an open top container. Thecover 20 of thedisplay container 1 has a closedtop section 23 with an outwardly extendingnon-circular protrusion 30 or projection surrounded by arecess 25, and interconnectedside walls 35 connected to thetop section 23. Theprotrusion 30 extends above thetop section 23. Thetop section 23 of thecover 20 and thebottom section 3 of thecontainer 1 are essentially flat, so that they are in contact when stacked on top of each other, either during shipment or when in use as described hereinafter. Thecontainer 1 andcover 20 may be made of any suitable material. The preferred material is plastic and can be transparent or of any color desired. Preferably thecontainer 1 is transparent to allow the product with the container to be visible to the consumer. Thecover 20 may also be of any color or transparent. - It is to be understood that although the
container 1 has been shown as havingsidewalls 10, the container may be of any shape such as round, oval, polygonal, square, or the like. Thecover 20 may also be of other shapes, preferably being the same shape as thecontainer 1. - The shape of the outwardly extending
protrusion 30 of thecover 20 and the inwardly extendingprotrusion 5 of thedisplay container 1 can be of any angular or non-circular shape that would prevent the containers from rotating when stacked on top of each other. For example, the shape of the protrusions may be octagonal, triangular, rectangular, trapezoidal, polygonal, +sign, − sign or any other such shape. As shown inFIGS. 8-9 , the preferred shape of the outwardly extendingprotrusion 30 of thecover 20 and the inwardly extendingprotrusion 5 of thedisplay container 1 is polygonal. In this regard, theprotrusions containers 1 from rotating relative to one another. - In addition, the shape of the outwardly extending
protrusion 30 of thecover 20 and the inwardly extendingprotrusion 5 of thedisplay container 1 may be of different shapes and sizes with respect to each other as long as they are configured to interlock with each other when nested within each other to prevent rotation. For example, the shape of the outwardly extendingprotrusion 30 of thecover 20 may be a + sign, and the shape of the inwardly extendingprotrusion 5 of thedisplay container 1 may be a − sign. - Moreover, the outwardly extending
protrusion 30 of thecover 20 and the inwardly extendingprotrusion 5 of thedisplay container 1 are sized so that when they are nested in each other, they do not become stuck in each other. - As shown in
FIGS. 9-10 , thecover 20 can be removably fixed on the top of thecontainer 1. In order to obtain a good seal, thecover 20 has at least one outwardperipheral edge 51 as shown inFIG. 9 , which can grip over at least one outwardperipheral edge 56 of thecontainer 1 as shown inFIG. 10 . - As shown in
FIGS. 11 and 12 , thecover 20 may includelabels 61 attached to theside walls 35 of thecover 20. Thelabels 61 may contain any texts or graphics that a user would like to incorporate in order to make the display container more attractive and appealing, including product identification and advertising labels. - In the embodiment illustrated in
FIG. 12 , MilkyWay®candy bars 60 are housed in thedisplay container 1. However, the present invention is not limited to storing only candy products, but any other products desired, such as hard candy, pencils, key chains, novelty items, etc. Because the display containers of the present invention interlock and do not rotate when stacked on top of each other, the display containers can be used as reliable storage and shipping containers. A plurality ofstacked containers 1 are shown inFIG. 13 . Because the display containers also provide reliable shipping containers, the display containers filled with fragile products do not need to be packaged in a sealed cardboard box. Instead, a large volume of display containers of the present invention filled with fragile products can be shipped to a destination on a pellet with shrink-wrap around them. - In use of the
container 1 as shown inFIG. 14 , thecover 20 may be removed and used as a supporting base for the shell 12. In this regard, thetop section 23 of thecover 20 will support thebottom section 3 of the container, with theprotrusions - As these and other variations and combinations of the features discussed above can be utilized without departing from the present invention as defined by the claims, the foregoing description of the preferred embodiments should be taken by way of illustration rather than by way of limitation of the invention as defined by the claims.
