Display pack

Abstract

A display pack for consumer products, especially toothbrushes. A sheet form plastics material support has a lower edge with plural bubble packs for the product arranged lengthways along the edge, and detachably linked to the support part by a first separable link. Lengthways adjacent bubble packs are integrally detachably connected to each other by one or more second separable link wherein lengthways sequential second links are at different distances from the lower edge of the support in a direction transverse to the lower edge of the support.

1 . A display pack for consumer products, comprising a sheet form support made in part at least of a plastics material, having an upper edge and having a lower edge having a length direction,
 plural bubble packs having a bubble part made of plastics material and defining a cavity for the product arranged lengthways sequentially along the lower edge, each bubble pack having a first end integrally detachably linked to the support by a first separable link, and extending away from the lower edge in a direction transverse to the length of the edge to a second end distant from the support,   lengthways adjacent bubble packs being integrally detachably connected to each other by one or more second separable link wherein lengthways sequential second links are at different distances from the lower edge of the support in a direction transverse to the lower edge of the support.   
     
     
         2 . A display pack according to  claim 1  wherein the sheet form support comprises a thin sheet of plastics material, or a laminate, or two layers of transparent plastics material with a display board in between with the user's text printed thereon. 
     
     
         3 . A display pack according to  claim 1  or  2  wherein the lower edge is straight and of a length such that five to ten bubble packs may be detachably connected thereto in line along the lower edge. 
     
     
         4 . A display pack according to  claim 1  wherein the sheet form support is adapted to be hung or otherwise supported for display. 
     
     
         5 . A display pack according to  claim 4  wherein the support is rectangular, with its upper edge opposite to its lower edge, and has an aperture for hanging the support on a display hook near the upper edge. 
     
     
         6 . A display pack according to  claim 1  wherein
 lengthways adjacent bubble packs are made integrally detachably connected to the support by first separable links by integrally forming the plastic material part of the support and the bubble part together. 
 
     
     
         7 . A display pack according to  claim 1  wherein the bubble packs extend away from the lower edge in a direction which is perpendicular to the length of the edge. 
     
     
         8 . A display pack according to  claim 1  wherein the second separable link is provided by integrally forming the plastic material part of lengthways adjacent bubble packs together. 
     
     
         9 . A display pack according to  claim 1  wherein the separable links comprise easily severable bridges of the plastics material between respectively the bubble packs and the support, and between adjacent bubble packs. 
     
     
         10 . A display pack according to  claim 9  wherein the severable links have a dimension transverse to the separation direction of 0.5-5 mm. 
     
     
         11 . A display pack according to  claim 1  wherein the severable link comprises one or more integral spot link. 
     
     
         12 . A display pack according to  claim 11  wherein between a bubble pack and the support there are two or three spot links 
     
     
         13 . A display pack according to  claim 11  wherein between lengthways adjacent bubble packs there are two spot links 
     
     
         14 . A display pack according to  claim 1  wherein the separable link between one pair of lengthways adjacent bubble packs is in the half of the bubble pack closer to the first end, and the separable link between another pair of lengthways adjacent bubble packs is in the half of the bubble pack closer to the second end. 
     
     
         15 . A display pack according to  claim 14  wherein the separable link between one pair of lengthways adjacent bubble packs is located at a distance 20-40% of the distance from the first end toward the second end of the bubble pack, and the separable link between another pair of lengthways adjacent bubble packs is located at a distance 20-40% of the distance from the second end toward the first end of the bubble pack. 
     
     
         16 . A display pack according to  claim 1  wherein the separable links between the lengthways adjacent bubble packs are staggered along the length direction so that the separable links between the lengthways adjacent bubble packs alternate in their distance from the lower edge of the support, one being closer to the lower edge, the next being further, the next closer. 
     
     
         17 . Two display packs each according to  claim 1  integrally connected at their respective upper edges. 
     
     
         18 . Two display packs according to  claim 17  wherein the integral connection is a foldable connection. 
     
     
         19 . Two display packs according to  claim 17  wherein the integral connection is a severable connection. 
     
     
         20 . Two display packs each according to  claim 1  wherein the
 two integrally connected packs can be folded about the connected edges and the respective hanging apertures in the supports are so located that in the folded state they align.
