Abstract

A display carton and motorized implement arrangement is disclosed. The display arrangement includes an operator carriable motorized implement and a display carton having display and access apertures. Ideally, in its packaged state within the display carton, the motorized implement is substantially assembled so that the end user may easily and efficiently utilize the implement without extensive subsequent assembly or set-up. The display carton has a main body and upper and lower body portions. The display carton substantially entirely contains the implement and allows the display arrangement to be stably maintained on a flat surface. The main body includes a front, rear, and side panels. The front panel includes a pair of display apertures to allow access to the retained implement at the point of sale. The front panel further includes a central panel portion, spaced between the pair of display apertures. Display apertures may be formed, at least in part, by inwardly biasing a retaining panel portion of the front panel toward the rear panel. The retaining panel may include a retaining structure for engaging and stabilizing the contained implement.
