International Classification:

A47F001/00

US Classification:

312061000

Abstract:

A point of purchase display includes a hangable display strip having a coupon dispenser box and a plurality of mounts formed from a single sheet blank. The products can be supported from underneath by support ledges and retained by holsters hinged to the strip at one side and slots in the strip. The ledges are simple flaps hinged to the strip at one edge joined by a tab and slot connection at the other side. The dispenser box is formed from a flap of the blank folded into five sides, one of which is hinged to the strip and two others of which have tabs that fit into slots in the strip. A strip-like flap of the blank fits through a cut out and forms an arched spring inside the dispenser box biasing a stack of coupons toward an opening for dispensing one at a time.
