Abstract

Abstract A device such as an earring card having a main panel adapted to display jewelry articles while oriented in a generally vertical position by suspension from a rod or the like. Preferably, the upper portion of the main panel adjacent to a centrally disposed display area includes a pair of vertically spaced, parallel, outwardly extending flanges, which in combination with that portion of the main panel disposed therebetween form a slot or groove adapted to receive a secondary panel on which advertising or other identifying material may be placed. Accordingly, the secondary panel is removable such that the indicia may be changed without modifying the package. Means for preventing the lateral movement of the second panel with respect to the first is provided either in the form of an upwardly extending tab adapted for receipt in an opening in one of the flanges or by means of a plurality of serrations provided on opposite edges of the second panel for frictional engagement with the flanges.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 187 words
A device for the display of jewelry articles and the like comprising, a flexible first panel having means for suspending the device in a generally vertical plane, said first panel having a generally planar face including a display area having means adapted to receive at least a portion of a jewelry article displayed thereon, said first panel further including a pair of integral spaced flanges extending forwardly from said panel face, said spaced flanges being configured so as to define an elongated channel therebetween having a reduced entrance portion, said channel being adjacent to but displaced from said display area and having removably mounted therein a generally flat elongated second panel with said second panel disposed in face to face contact with said first panel portion and adapted to receive indicia thereon so as to identify and/or advertise the jewelry displayed from said device, said second panel being dimensioned so as to fit snugly within said channel, the latter dimension of said second panel being greater than said reduced entry portion of said channel, and means resisting longitudinal movement of said second panel relative to said channel.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 187 words
A device for the display of jewelry articles and the like comprising, a flexible first panel having means for suspending the device in a generally vertical plane, said first panel having a generally planar face including a display area having means adapted to receive at least a portion of a jewelry article displayed thereon, said first panel further including a pair of integral spaced flanges extending forwardly from said panel face, said spaced flanges being configured so as to define an elongated channel therebetween having a reduced entrance portion, said channel being adjacent to but displaced from said display area and having removably mounted therein a generally flat elongated second panel with said second panel disposed in face to face contact with said first panel portion and adapted to receive indicia thereon so as to identify and/or advertise the jewelry displayed from said device, said second panel being dimensioned so as to fit snugly within said channel, the latter dimension of said second panel being greater than said reduced entry portion of said channel, and means resisting longitudinal movement of said second panel relative to said channel.
