Abstract
The self-service jewelry container includes a relatively rigid cup-shaped base, a relatively resilient pedestal and a relatively rigid transparent cylindrical cover having a slant top. The base and cover can be taped together to render the container more pilfer-resistant. A predetermined angular relationship is established between the base and pedestal by means of an interfitting rib and groove configuration, and a predetermined angular relationship is established between the base and cover by means of a notch and tab. Lips on the base and cover telescopically interfit. In this way, when the several parts constituting the container are assembled, the slant top is properly oriented with the pedestal for the display of the jewelry mounted on the pedestal within the transparent cover. Two pedestal embodiments are disclosed, one for holding a flexible necklace and the other for holding a bangle.
