Tool display package
First Claim
1. A display card package for attaching to a tool of the type having a configured projection extending outwardly therefrom and a pair of operating handles below the projection for hanging and displaying the tool comprisinga card having at least one edge, a front and a back, the card being provided with a complementary configured opening to engage the tool by receiving the said projection therethrough in a manner to removably associate the card with the tool,the opening being positioned near the said one edge, the operating handles of the tool extending below the said one edge when the configured projection is inserted into the configured opening;
- anda cap in frictional engagement with the configured projection, the friction of the frictional engagement being sufficient to require an external prying implement to disassociate the cap from the projection, the cap being adapted for first and second frictional engagements with the configured projection, the cap overfitting and contacting the back of the card to secure the card to the tool when in the said first frictional engagement, the card being removable from the tool without tearing only when the cap is removed from engagement with the configured projection,the cap being reapplied over the configured projection in the second frictional engagement after removal of the card;
whereby the operating handles may be grasped and moved without removing the card from the tool in the first frictional engagement and whereby the card is removed and the cap covers the configured projection in the second frictional engagement.

Abstract
A tool display package is disclosed which includes a display card to be removably connected to a tool of the type including a projecting nut. An opening is provided near the bottom of the card of size and configuration to overfit and to frictionally engage the nut. A plastic cap is provided with an interior recess of dimensions to frictionally engage the nut over the card to releasably secure the card to the tool. By removing the cap, the card can be separated from the tool by pulling sufficiently to overcome the frictional engagement forces. After the card has been removed and the tool is ready for use, the cap can be reapplied over the nut to provide a finished appearance.
