Openings in the support members receive the threaded neck of a product container. A screw top threaded onto the neck retains the container on the support members of the display card.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
228 words
An improved product display card for displaying a product of the type having a removable top of greater diameter than a threaded neck that receives the top, said card comprising: a planar back member having at least two integral, generally parallel product support members cut from the back member and projecting horizontally and generally transversely from the back member from a fold line; one of said support members having an opening sized for receipt of the neck only through the opening and providing means whereby a top may be affixed to the neck to thereby retain the product on the card, said opening having a midpoint, the midpoint of said opening being transversely spaced from the planar back member; the other product support member being spaced from the one member and also having an opening for receipt of the product and for permitting the product to project therethrough, said other support member opening also having a midpoint which is substantially axially aligned with the midpoint of said one support member, each of the openings being entirely within a transverse support member and generally conforming to a transverse section of the product shape, said product being removable from the display card only subsequent to removal of the top from the neck of the product; and a hanger member incorporated integrally onto the back member along a top edge thereof.
