HANGING BASKET COLLAR
A hanging basket display collar includes at least one pop-put panel when the conical collar is formed. In one embodiment, the pop-out panel is formed by two facing semicircular die cuts which define a generally circular pop-out panel coupled by integral hinges at the top and bottom edges, such that, when the collar is formed, the disk-shaped pop-out panel remains flat and extends in a plane spaced outwardly from the conical surface of the collar. A plurality of such pop-out panels can he provided and include printed plant identification and care information thereon.
1 . A display collar comprising:
a planar panel of material formed into a curved body; and
a pop-out display panel coupled to said body by hinges integral with said body, said hinges aligned on an axis orthogonal to a radius of curvature of said body.
2 . The collar as defined in claim 1 wherein said body is conical.
3 . The collar as defined in claim 2 wherein said pop-out panel is generally circular.
4 . The collar as defined in claim 3 wherein said pop-out panel includes printed indicia thereon.
5 . The collar as defined in claim 4 wherein said collar is dimensioned to fit over a hanger of a hanging basket.
6 . The collar as defined in claim 5 wherein said collar is made of a polymeric material.
7 . The collar as defined in claim 6 wherein said panel of material includes a wide locking tab and a mating slot at opposite edges to hold said material in said conical shape.
8 . A collar comprising:
a body having an upper edge defined by a first radius of curvature and a lower edge defined by a second radius of curvature, said body circumscribing an arc having opposed edges extending generally orthogonally to said upper and lower edges, said body including a locking tab and mating slot for coupling said opposed edges to one another to form said body into a conical shape; and
wherein said body includes opposed semicircular die cuts, such that as said body is formed into a conical shape, the die cuts allow a generally circular section of the panel to extend from the conical surface of the panel to define a pop-out display panel.
9 . The collar as defined in claim 8 and further including a second pair of opposed semicircular die cuts to define a second pop-out display panel spaced from said first named display panel.
10 . The collar as defined in claim 8 wherein said pop-out panel includes printed indicia thereon.
11 . The collar as defined in claim 8 wherein said collar is dimensioned to fit over a hanger of a hanging basket.
12 . The collar as defined in claim 11 wherein said collar is made of a polymeric material.
13 . A conical collar for a hanging basket comprising:
a conical shaped body having upper and lower generally circular edges and a display panel interposed between said upper and lower edges and having a surface which is generally planar and extends outwardly from the conical surface of said collar.
14 . The collar as defined in claim 13 wherein said panel is generally circular.
15 . The collar as defined in claim 14 wherein said panel includes printed indicia thereon.
16 . The collar as defined in claim 15 wherein said collar is dimensioned to fit over a hanger of a hanging basket.
17 . The collar as defined in claim 16 wherein said collar is made of a polymeric material.
18 . The collar as defined in claim 17 wherein said body is formed of an arcuate-shaped panel.
19 . The collar as defined in claim 18 wherein said panel includes a relatively wide locking tab along one edge and a mating slot adjacent an opposite edge.
20 . The collar as defined in claim 19 wherein said lower edge of said body is scalloped.
