DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0099] For illustrative purposes only, preferred modes for carrying out the invention are described herein, wherein a portable display supports gift wrap rolls, and optional accessories, such as ribbon bows and/or adhesive tape dispensers.

[0100] As shown in FIGS. 1-8, the wrapping paper roll displays disclose stash the rolls vertically as in a first embodiment, as well as to stack in the rolls horizontally in a further embodiment shown in FIGS. 9-12. While size may vary, the portable gift wrap roll display has preferable dimensions as 431831/4 , (with 4 hooks).

[0101] The portable display 10 shown in FIG. 1 holds rolls 1 of gift wrapping paper, and optionally decorative ribbon bow packages 2, and/or adhesive tape dispensers 3. Display 10 includes main panel 12 having cut out foldable restraining harnesses or collars 14 having recess 1 therein for storing rolls 1 in a generally vertical position for retail sale.

[0102] A top panel portion 18 above the top of the main panel 12 supporting the vertically supported gift wrap rolls 1 supports packages 2 gift wrap ribbon bows 2a for display.

[0103] An approximately 3 inch rise 19 over top panel portion 18 supporting the upper ribbon bows 5 has attachment means, such as apertures 20 for insertion of hooks 22 or rods therethrough. The hooks 21 extend from a wall, doo or retail shelf end wall 4. A central region of rise 19 is provided or indicia 24 with brand name recognition FIG. 2 also shows the portable gift wrap roll display panel 10 with cut-out templates 13, which form collars 14 in a C-shape configuration, which are cut out with scoring on three sides, with a fourth side 14b being attached to the panel 10, wherein the C-shaped collars 14 are bent outwardly and upwardly from the flat panel 10 with the recess 16 provided therein, for insertion of one or more gift wrap rolls 1 (typically 18m 24 ir 30 in length) therein.

[0104] To keep the rolls 1 from falling down, the bottoms 1a thereof are supported in a lower tray 26 having a pair of wings 28, 28a which are bendable at respective opposite edges 29 of the flat panel 12, and a lower tab portion 30 bendable along the bottom edge 31 of the panel 12 and again bendable in a further lower tab portion 32 at foldable line 33, and having distal edge 34 parallel to the bottom edge 31 of display panel 12, where holes 35, 35a are provided for insertion of further attachment extending tabs 36, 36a of the wings 28, 28a joining the lower tabs 36, 36a to form the side walls 28, 28a of a rectangular tray at the bottom of the flat panel display for gift wrap rolls. The front wall of tray 26 is formed by the further lower tab portion 32 joining forward extending further tabs 37, 37a of wings 28, 28a, which are inserted in apertures 35, 35a of further lower tab portion 32.

[0105] FIG. 3 shows the formation of part of the bottom tray 26 by folding and joining wing 28a with lower tab portion 30 and further lower tab portion 32, to form a hollow, open-topped box-like tray 26 at the bottom of display panel 12, in the directional arrows shown.

[0106] FIG. 4 also shows the cutting and folding of the C-shaped restraint harnesses or collars 14 for holding the gift wrap rolls 1 therein, in the directional arrow shown therein.

[0107] FIGS. 5 and 6 show how the gift wrap rolls 1, adhesive bow packages 2 and adhesive tape dispensers 3 are supported on the gift wrap roll display 10. FIG. 6 shows how the bottom tray 26 accommodates gift wrap rolls 1 behind the displayed adhesive tape dispensers 3 therein.

[0108] As shown in FIG. 7, for additional storage, a further auxiliary tray 40 for adhesive tape dispensers 3 can be attached by strips of fasteners 42, such as Velcro hook and loop strip or double sided tape or tape behind the display panel 10, suspending the auxiliary tray 40 below the primary tray 26, suspending the auxiliary tray 40 below the primary tray 26 of the main panel 12 of display 10.

[0109] FIG. 8 shows an alternate embodiment for a series of gift wrap roll restraining collars 54, which each hold a single gift wrap roll 1 therein.

[0110] FIGS. 9-12 show a further alternate embodiment of display 60 where the rolls 1 are supported by punch out restraint collars extending from main panel 62 that hold respective gift wrap rolls 1 horizontally therein, wherein the restraining collars are formed from V-shaped foldable cutouts 64 formed by templates of foldable sub-panels 64a, 64b foldable at horizontal mid fold line 64b and scored punch out lines 66, 66a.

[0111] In the foregoing description, certain terms and visual depictions are used to illustrate the preferred embodiment. However, no unnecessary limitations are to be construed by the terms used or illustrations depicted, beyond what is shown in the prior art, since the terms and illustrations are exemplary only, and are not meant to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0112] It is further known that other modifications may be made to the present invention, without departing the scope of the invention.
