Claim 3

a back panel;

Claim 4

a back panel;

Claim 5

A blank as defined in claim 1, including a printed display on the outside of the upper display panel section.

Claim 6

A blank as defined in claim 1, including bottom flaps on said panels, said bottom flaps being foldable inwardly and connectable to form a bottom panel.

Claim 7

two end panels, one connected by score lines to said front and back panels and the other connected by a score line along one edge to one edge of the front panel; and

Claim 8

two end panels, one connected by score lines to said front and back panels and the other connected by a score line along one edge to one edge of the front panel; and

Claim 9

A blank as defined in claim 1, including two pushout sections, each connected at its bottom edge to the bottom edge of an end panel and frangibly connected at its other edges to said end panel so that it is pushable outwardly of said end panel to provide a tab extending laterally from said frame and adapted to be taped down on an underlying surface.

Claim 10

a flap connected by a score line along the other edge of the other end panel and adapted to be adhesively secured to one margin of the back panel; b. said front panel having a cut extending lengthwise thereof from end-to-end and separating the front panel into an upper display panel section and a lower panel section; c. each of said end panels having a cut extending laterally thereof from the adjacent end of the cut in the front panel to the centerline of the end panel; and d. score lines in said end panels from the ends of said end panel cuts upwardly along the centerlines of the end panels to the tops of the end panels.

Claim 11

a flap connected by a score line along the other edge of the other end panel and adapted to be adhesively secured to one margin of the back panel; b. said front panel having a cut extending lengthwise thereof from end-to-end and separating the front panel into an upper display panel section and a lower panel section; c. each of said end panels having a cut extending laterally thereof from the adjacent end of the cut in the front panel to the centerline of the end panel; and d. score lines in said end panels from the ends of said end panel cuts upwardly along the centerlines of the end panels to the tops of the end panels.

Claim 12

A display carton including front and back panels and two end panels cooperating to form an open-topped frame adapted to enclose articles to be displayed and a display panel extending upwardly at the rear of the frame, comprising: a. a front panel; b. a back panel; c. two end panels, one connected by score lines to said front and back panels and the other connected along one edge by a score line to one edge of the front panel; d. a flap connected by a score line to the other edge of the other end panel and adhesively secured to one margin of the back panel; e. said front panel having a cut extending horizontally from end to end and separating the front panel into an upper display panel section and a lower panel section; f. each of said end panels having a cut extending laterally thereof from the adjacent end of the cut in the front panel to the centerline of the end panel; and g. score lines in said end panels from the ends of said end panel cuts upwardly along the centerlines of the end panels to the tops of the end panels; h. said carton being foldable flat for shipment by flattening two diagonally opposite score lines between the end panels and the front and back panels, and folding the panels at the other two diagonally opposite score lines against each other.

Claim 13

A display carton including front and back panels and two end panels cooperating to form an open-topped frame adapted to enclose articles to be displayed and a display panel extending upwardly at the rear of the frame, comprising: a. a front panel; b. a back panel; c. two end panels, one connected by score lines to said front and back panels and the other connected along one edge by a score line to one edge of the front panel; d. a flap connected by a score line to the other edge of the other end panel and adhesively secured to one margin of the back panel; e. said front panel having a cut extending horizontally from end to end and separating the front panel into an upper display panel section and a lower panel section; f. each of said end panels having a cut extending laterally thereof from the adjacent end of the cut in the front panel to the centerline of the end panel; and g. score lines in said end panels from the ends of said end panel cuts upwardly along the centerlines of the end panels to the tops of the end panels; h. said carton being foldable flat for shipment by flattening two diagonally opposite score lines between the end panels and the front and back panels, and folding the panels at the other two diagonally opposite score lines against each other.

Claim 14

A display carton as defined in claim 5, in which: a. said end-to-end cut in the front panel is located below the upper ends of the end panels; and b. the portions of each said end panel above the lateral cut therein forms a connecting panel foldable backwardly at the end panel centerline so that the upper display panel section may be positioned against the back panel, so that the back panel and the display panel reinforce one another.

Claim 15

A display carton as defined in claim 5, in which: a. the articles being displayed in the carton, b. the articles being taller than the lower panel section; and c. said articles when placed within said frame being effective to hold the bottom of the display panel firmly against said back panel.

Claim 16

A display carton as defined in claim 5, including a plurality of pushout sections, each connected at its bottom edge to the bottom edge of an end panel, and frangibly connected at its other edges to said panel, so that each pushout section is pushable outwardly of its panel to provide a tab extending laterally from the bottom of the panel and adapted to be taped down on an underlying surface.
