[0013] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. This embodiment is for the purpose of facilitating understanding of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, the drawings are schematic diagrams drawn for the purpose of facilitating understanding of the present invention.

[0014] Fig. 1 is a diagram explaining the configuration of a PDQ box display 5 (PDQ: Pretty Darn Quick) according to this embodiment. The PDQ box display 5 according to this embodiment is a promotional tool that is used by being hung on the wall of a retail store. As shown in Fig. 1, the PDQ box display 5 is composed of at least a PDQ box 2 with an open top side, and a hanger board 1 to which the PDQ box 2 can be removably attached.

[0015] In Fig. 1, the PDQ box 2 and the hanger board 1 are both blank, but letters and pictures can be printed on the PDQ box 2 and the hanger board 1. Pictures that appeal to consumers and the name of the manufacturer that uses the hanger board 1 can be printed on the hanger board 1. Pictures of the product 4 to be stored in the PDQ box 2 and the name of this product 4 can be printed on the PDQ box 2.

[0016] A string hole 11 is formed in the top of the hanger board 1. The hanger board 1 can be hung from a wall of a retail store or the like by using a string 12 passed through this string hole 11. The hanger board 1 also has a window hole 10 for attaching a PDQ box 2. The PDQ box 2 is attached to the hanger board 1 by being inserted into the window hole 10 from the rear side of the hanger board 1. Naturally, the number of PDQ boxes 2 that can be attached to the hanger board 1 is the number of window holes 10 provided in the hanger board 1. In the hanger board 1 illustrated in Figure 1, the number of PDQ boxes 2 that can be attached to the hanger board 1 is three.

[0017] The PDQ box 2 attached to the hanger board 1 is a box-shaped package designed to allow the product 4 to be displayed simply by opening it. The PDQ box 2 is sometimes called retail-ready packaging (RRP).

[0018] Before the PDQ box 2 is opened, the PDQ box 2 is in a shape suitable for transporting the product 4. When the PDQ box 2 is opened, the top side of the PDQ box 2 opens, and the PDQ box 2 is in a shape suitable for displaying the product 4.

[0019] The PDQ box 2 inserted into the window hole 10 of the hanger board 1 becomes the PDQ box 2 after opening. The PDQ box 2 illustrated in Figure 1 has a box-like shape with an opening on the top and trapezoidal sides. In the PDQ box 2 after opening, the product 4 packed in the PDQ box 2 is exposed through the opening on the top. The PDQ box 2 before opening is cubic in shape. By simply cutting off the top side of the PDQ box 2 before opening diagonally using a perforation or the like, the shape of the PDQ box 2 can be changed to the shape illustrated in Figure 1.

[0020] Simply inserting the opened PDQ box 2 into the rectangular hole does not allow the PDQ box 2 to be attached to the hanger board 1. Therefore, in the PDQ box display 5 according to this embodiment, the window hole 10 of the hanger board 1 is designed to allow the opened PDQ box 2 to be attached to the hanger board 1.

[0021] First, the hanger board 1 constituting the PDQ box display body 5 according to this embodiment will be described. Fig. 2 is a diagram for explaining the hanger board 1. The cross-sectional shape of the hanger board 1 according to this embodiment is U-shaped. A thin plate such as plastic or wood is suitable as a material for the hanger board 1, but the hanger board 1 can also be realized using thick cardboard.

[0022] A string hole 11 is formed in the upper side of the hanger board 1 to pass a string 12 for suspending the hanger board 1. At least one window hole 10 is formed in the surface of the hanger board 1 to attach a PDQ box 2.

[0023] The outer size of the window hole 10 machined in the hanger board 1 matches the size of the back side of the PDQ box 2, but the shape of the window hole 10 machined in the hanger board 1 is not simply rectangular. The window hole 10 machined in the hanger board 1 has an inwardly protruding engagement piece 100 that engages with the upper part of the back panel 22 of the PDQ box 2, and an insertion piece 101 that is inserted into the gap 32 between the side panel 21 and the back panel 22 of the PDQ box 2.

[0024] Next, the PDQ box 2 according to this embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating the PDQ box 2 before it is opened. In this embodiment, the shape of the PDQ box 2 before it is opened is a cube. The size of the PDQ box 2 before it is opened is a size that can store a predetermined number of products 4 to be stored in the PDQ box 2. In this embodiment, the shape of the products 4 is cylindrical (for example, hairspray or soft drinks), and the number of products 4 that can be stored in the PDQ box 2 is three.

[0025] Before being opened, the PDQ box 2 has an opening perforation 30, which is a perforation for opening the PDQ box 2, and a gap perforation 31, which is for forming a gap 32 that engages with an insertion piece 101 formed in the window hole 10 machined in the hanger board 1.

[0026] Opening perforations 30, which are perforations for opening the PDQ box 2 before opening, are machined into the side panel 21 and the front panel 20 so as to separate all of the top panel 24, part of the side panel 21, and part of the front panel 20.

[0027] The opening perforation 30 machined into the side panel 21 of the PDQ box 2 is machined diagonally (upward to the right) in Fig. 3 so that the side panel 21 of the PDQ box 2 can be cut into a triangular shape while leaving a part of the front panel 20 of the PDQ box 2. The opening perforation 30 machined into the front panel 20 of the PDQ box 2 is machined into a straight line so as to connect with the end of the opening perforation 30 machined into the side panel 21 of the PDQ box 2. It is preferable that the opening perforation 30 includes a perforation that forms a hole for inserting a finger when opening.

[0028] In this embodiment, the gap 32 is formed by the gap perforation 31 because, in the case of a PDQ box 2 that does not have the gap 32 between the side panel 21 and the back panel 22, the insertion pieces 101 on both sides of the window hole 10 machined in the hanger board 1 cannot be inserted into the gap 32.

[0029] In the PDQ box 2, the rear panel 22 and the side panel 21 are glued together. In this embodiment, the shape of the gap perforation 31 is U-shaped. The gap perforation 31 is processed so that the part separated by the gap perforation 31 opens using the boundary between the rear panel 22 and the side panel 21 as a hinge.

[0030] FIG. 4 is an exploded view 6 of the PDQ box 2 before opening. The exploded view 6 of the PDQ box 2 illustrated in FIG. 4 is only one example. The exploded view 6 of the PDQ box 2 includes a pair of side panels 21, a front panel 20, a back panel 22, a bottom panel 23, and a top panel 24. Furthermore, in the exploded view 6 of the PDQ box 2, both ends of the side panel 21 are connected to glue flaps 25. Also, locking flaps 26 are connected to the front panel 20 and the back panel 22, respectively. Also, fold lines 27 are processed between the panels, etc. Also, a part of the opening perforation 30 and a gap perforation 31 are processed in each of the pair of side panels 21. Furthermore, a part of the opening perforation 30 is processed in the front panel 20.

[0031] 5 is a diagram illustrating the opened PDQ box 2. The opened PDQ box 2 can be opened by using the opening perforation 30 to cut off the top of the unopened PDQ box 2.

[0032] After opening the PDQ box 2, the entire top panel 24 has been cut away, leaving an opening on the top side of the PDQ box 2. After opening the PDQ box 2, the upper left side of the side panel 21 has been cut away in the shape of a right-angled triangle, giving it a trapezoidal shape. After opening the PDQ box 2, the back panel 22 of the PDQ box 2 is not cut away, but about 2 / 3 of the front panel 20 has been cut away.

[0033] By using the gap perforation 31 to open a portion of the side panel 21 of the PDQ box 2 outward, after opening the PDQ box 2, a gap 32 is formed in part of the boundary between the side panel 21 of the PDQ box 2 and the rear panel 22 of the PDQ box 2.

[0034] In Figure 5, the locking flap 26a connected to the rear panel 22 is left intact, but it is also possible to machine a perforation at the border of the locking flap 26a connected to the rear panel 22 so that after opening, the PDQ box 2 appears with the locking flap 26a connected to the rear panel 22 cut off.

[0035] 6 is a diagram illustrating the state in which the opened PDQ box 2 is attached to the hanger board 1. The opened PDQ box 2 can be attached to the window hole 10 of the hanger board 1 by inserting the opened PDQ box 2 into the window hole 10 from the rear side of the hanger board 1. The PDQ box 2 attached to the window hole 10 of the hanger board 1 can be removed from the window hole 10 of the hanger board 1 by pulling the PDQ box 2 out of the window hole 10.

[0036] Since the above-mentioned innovation is applied to the window holes 10 provided in the hanger board 1 in this embodiment, after opening, the PDQ box 2 is supported by the window holes 10 at a total of four points and attached to the window holes 10 of the hanger board 1.

[0037] One point that supports the PDQ box 2 attached to the hanger board 1 is the engagement piece 100 that protrudes from the upper part of the window hole 10 of the hanger board 1. When the opened PDQ box 2 is inserted into the window hole 10 of the hanger board 1, the engagement piece 100 that protrudes from the upper part of the window hole 10 can be engaged with the upper part of the rear panel 22 of the opened PDQ box 2.

[0038] The engagement piece 100 protruding from the upper part of the window hole 10 engages with the rear panel 22 of the PDQ box 2 after opening means that the rear panel 22 of the PDQ box 2 after opening is located behind the engagement piece 100 of the window hole 10, and the upper part of the rear panel 22 of the PDQ box 2 and the engagement piece 100 of the window hole 10 abut against each other. When the engagement piece 100 protruding from the upper part of the window hole 10 engages with the upper part of the rear panel 22 of the PDQ box 2 after opening, the engagement piece 100 can prevent the PDQ box 2 after opening from falling toward the front side of the hanger board 1. When the PDQ box 2 before opening is opened, if the engagement flap 26a connected to the upper part of the rear panel 22 is left in place, the engagement flap 26a makes it difficult for the upper part of the rear panel 22 of the PDQ box 2 to come off the engagement piece 100 of the window hole 10.

[0039] The two points that support the opened PDQ box 2 attached to the hanger board 1 are the plug-in pieces 101 that protrude from both sides of the window hole 10 of the hanger board 1. When the opened PDQ box 2 is inserted into the window hole 10 of the hanger board 1, the plug-in pieces 101 on both sides of the window hole 10 can be inserted into the gaps 32 at the boundaries between the side panels 21 and the back panels 22 of the opened PDQ box 2. When the plug-in pieces 101 on both sides of the window hole 10 are inserted into the gaps 32 at the boundaries between the side panels 21 and the back panels 22 of the opened PDQ box 2, the plug-in pieces 101 on both sides of the window hole 10 can support both sides of the opened PDQ box 2. When the gaps 32 at the boundaries between the side panels 21 and the back panels 22 are formed by the gap perforations 31, a part of the side panel 21 that is the boundary with the back panel 22 becomes a flap-shaped piece 32a. The presence of this flap-like piece 32a makes it difficult for the insertion pieces 101 on both sides of the window hole 10 to come out of the gap 32 at the boundary between the side panel 21 and the back panel 22 of the PDQ box 2 after opening.

[0040] One point that supports the opened PDQ box 2 attached to the hanger board 1 is the lower end of the window hole 10 of the hanger board 1. By giving the hanger board 1 a certain thickness, the bottom panel 23 of the opened PDQ box 2 can be supported by the lower end of the window hole 10 of the hanger board 1. [Explanation of symbols]
