Apparatus for displaying battery products

Abstract

An apparatus ( 100 ) for packaging, displaying by hanging or standing, and storing of electrical products, batteries in particular. The apparatus ( 100 ) for packaging a product or products for display, such as a retail sales display, involves an anterior packaging member ( 2 ) and a posterior packaging member ( 4 ), the anterior ( 2 ) and the posterior ( 4 ) packaging members being mounted together, such as by seam-mounting ( 9 ), in a fitted flange configuration. The anterior ( 2 ) and the posterior ( 4 ) packaging members each have a complementary contour for accommodating the product, with the anterior packaging member ( 2 ) having a specific contour shaped to minimize rotation of the battery on display so that the logo on the battery is optimally displayed. The apparatus ( 100 ) may also include feet ( 40 ) for standing as well as a convex display contour ( 3 ).

What is claimed:  
     
         1 . An apparatus for displaying, packaging and storing at least one battery product comprising: 
 a front packaging member, and a rear packaging member, the rear packaging member being affixed to said front packaging member,    at least one front battery compartment, the at least one front battery compartment each include a cathode center containment protrusion, a cathode inner ring depression, a cathode ring protrusion, a cathode outer ring depression, a horizontal package contour groove and at least one anode ring indentation.    
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising at least one package display foot.  
     
     
         3 . An apparatus for packaging, displaying, and storing at least one cylindrical product, comprising: 
 a front packaging member, and a rear packaging member, the rear packaging member being affixed to said front packaging member, and    a means for minimizing cylindrical product rotation of said at least one cylindrical product, the means incorporated into said front packaging member.    
     
     
         4 . An apparatus, as recited in  claim 3 , wherein the said means for minimizing cylindrical product rotation comprises an upper contour for receiving said cylindrical product in close proximity so as to minimize cylindrical product rotation.  
     
     
         5 . An apparatus, as recited in  claim 3 , wherein the said means for minimizing cylindrical product rotation comprises a lower contour substantially conforming to said cylindrical product in close proximity so as to minimize cylindrical product rotation.  
     
     
         6 . An apparatus, as recited in  claim 3 , wherein the said means for minimizing cylindrical product rotation comprises a top cylindrical product contour and a bottom cylindrical product contour for receiving said cylindrical product in close proximity with said means for minimizing rotation.  
     
     
         7 . An apparatus, as recited in  claim 6 , wherein said cylindrical product is at least one battery.  
     
     
         8 . An apparatus, as recited in  claim 7 , wherein said means for minimizing cylindrical product rotation is designed to accommodate a battery selected from the group of AA, AAA, C and D battery size.  
     
     
         9 . An apparatus, as recited in  claim 7 , wherein said means for minimizing cylindrical product rotation is designed to accommodate multiple batteries of the same size selected from the group of AA, AAA, C and D battery size.  
     
     
         10 . An apparatus, as recited in  claim 7 , wherein said means for minimizing cylindrical product rotation is designed to accommodate multiple batteries of different sizes selected from the group of AA, AAA, C and D battery sizes.  
     
     
         11 . An apparatus, as recited in  claim 7 , wherein said means for minimizing cylindrical product rotation includes at least one horizontal and at least one vertical backstop.  
     
     
         12 . An apparatus, as recited in  claim 7 , wherein said means for minimizing cylindrical article rotation includes at least one horizontal package contour groove.  
     
     
         13 . An apparatus, as recited in  claim 7 , wherein said apparatus further comprises display feet on the bottom of the apparatus.  
     
     
         14 . An apparatus, as recited in  claim 7 , wherein said apparatus further comprises a display face convex contour.  
     
     
         15 . An apparatus for packaging, displaying, and storing at least one cylindrical product contained between a rear packaging member and a front packaging member affixed to the rear packaging member, the first improvement comprising: 
 a top orientation member, a bottom orientation member, and    a means for minimizing article rotation by substantially conforming to the top and bottom of said cylindrical article and optimized to prevent rotation of said at least one cylindrical article, the second improvement comprising display feet incorporated into said front packaging member, and,    the third improvement comprising a display face convex contour for optimum display of packaging inserts.
