DEFINITION

Classification: 206/736

CONVERTIBLE TO OR FROM DISPLAY CONFIGURATION (E.G., FROM OR TO SHIPPING CONFIGURATION):

(under the class definition) A container which includes structure to (a) modify it from a shipping or storage mode to a mode for exhibiting the container or its content, or (b) modify it from an exhibiting mode to a mode for shipping or storing the content.

(1) Note. A cover which is intended to be removed to expose content is not proper for this area unless the cover adds to the display beyond mere removal or the content is specially displayed or arranged.

(2) Note. Content removable to provide an individual self-supporting display is proper for this area. A removable side wall intended to expose the content for display also is proper.

(3) Note. Appropriate other subclasses may be searched for nonconvertible display features.
