Container for product

Abstract

A container for packaging at least one product is provided. The container comprises a front wall defining a first foot region at a lower end thereof, a rear wall, a bottom wall connected to the rear wall, and a second foot region foldably connected to the bottom wall. The front wall, the rear wall, and the bottom wall at least partially define a receptacle therebetween. The at least one product is at least partially received within the receptacle. The first foot region and the second foot region are attached to each other to form a foot that extends downwardly from the bottom wall away from the receptacle, such that upon seating the foot and the bottom wall on an external planar surface, the container is inclined obliquely to the external planar surface.

         2 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein the first foot region is substantially coextensive in area with the second foot region. 
     
     
         3 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein the first foot region is greater in length and width than the second foot region. 
     
     
         4 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein the foot is substantially perpendicular to the bottom wall. 
     
     
         5 . The container according to  claim 1 , further comprising a first side wall connected to the rear wall and the bottom wall, and a second side wall disposed opposite to the first side wall and connected to the rear wall and the bottom wall, wherein each of the first side wall and the second side wall is disposed between the front wall and the rear wall, such that the receptacle is defined between the first and second side walls, and wherein the at least one product is at least partially received between the first side wall and the second side wall. 
     
     
         6 . The container according to  claim 5 , further comprising a first side connecting portion connected to the first side wall and a second side connecting portion connected to the second side wall, wherein each of the first and second side connecting portions is spaced apart from the rear wall and attached to the front wall. 
     
     
         7 . The container according to  claim 5 , further comprising a top wall disposed opposite to the bottom wall and connected to the rear wall, the first side wall and the second side wall, and a top connecting portion foldably connected to the top wall, wherein the top connecting portion is attached to the front wall. 
     
     
         8 . The container according to  claim 7 , wherein each of the first and second side walls extends substantially perpendicular to the rear wall and bottom wall. 
     
     
         9 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein the front wall defines at least one front cutout extending therethrough, the at least one front cutout at least partially receiving the at least one product therein. 
     
     
         10 . The container according to  claim 9 , wherein the rear wall defines at least one rear cutout extending therethrough and at least partially aligned with the at least one front cutout. 
     
     
         11 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein the front wall, the rear wall, the bottom wall, and the second foot region form a single unitary component, such that the second foot region is foldably connected to the lower end of the front wall. 
     
     
         12 . The container according to  claim 1 , where in the front portion and the rear portion comprise discrete components. 
     
     
         13 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein the single unitary component or discrete components are made of carton board. 
     
     
         14 . The container according to  claim 10 , wherein the at least one front cutout has a first surface area and the at least one rear cutout has a second surface area, wherein the first surface area is greater than the second surface area. 
     
     
         15 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein an angle of inclination of the front wall is between about 60 degrees to about 90 degrees. 
     
     
         16 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein an angle of inclination of the front wall is between from about 65 to about 85. 
     
     
         17 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein an angle of inclination of the front wall is between from about 75 to about 82 
     
     
         18 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein an angle of inclination of the front wall is between from about 77 to 79 degrees. 
     
     
         19 . The container according to  claim 9 , wherein 50 percent or greater of a face of the product within the contain is visible through the front cutout. 
     
     
         20 . The container according to  claim 16 , wherein between about 50 percent to about 98 percent of a face of the product within the container is visible through the front cutout.
