Product package and methods therefore

Abstract

A package for the product where the package includes a sizing cavity where an article, upon which the product is to be applied, is to be insertable within a sizing cavity to determine that the particular product in that package is to be the correct size for that particular article. A method of packaging a product which comprises forming a housing within which the product is located and forming at least one sizing cavity within the housing of a specific size and shape which is to connect with a canister upon which the product is to be located. A method of merchandising a product comprising the steps of placing the product in a housing and forming in the housing at least one sizing cavity of a specific size and shape, attempting to place a canister separate from the housing within the sizing cavity, and if it fits there within, the product will be the correct size of product to be used with the canister.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A package for a product that is to be manufactured in a plurality of different sizes for a plurality of different size articles, said package comprising:

         3 . The package as defined in  claim 2  wherein: 
 each size of said product having a different said curved shape.  
 
     
     
         4 . The package as defined in  claim 1  wherein: 
 said housing in the area of said product receiving chamber being transparent so as to be able to visually observe said product contained within said product receiving chamber.  
 
     
     
         5 . The package as defined in  claim 1  wherein: 
 said sizing cavity being smoothly arcuate.  
 
     
     
         6 . The package as defined in  claim 5  wherein: 
 said smoothly arcuate being part of a cylinder.  
 
     
     
         7 . The package as defined in  claim 1  wherein: 
 said housing having a pair of said sizing cavities, each said sizing cavity being of a different size, if an article fits within both of said cavities, then the said product in said package will be usable with the article.  
 
     
     
         8 . The package as defined in  claim 6  wherein: 
 said sizing cavity being enclosed.  
 
     
     
         9 . The package as defined in  claim 8  wherein: 
 the center axis of said sizing cavity is transverse to the longitudinal axis of said package.  
 
     
     
         10 . The package as defined in  claim 8  wherein: 
 said cavity having a longitudinal center axis which coincides with a longitudinal center axis of said package.  
 
     
     
         11 . A package for a product that is to be mounted on the exterior surface of a cylindrically shaped canister comprising: 
 a housing composed of an outer member and an inner member, said product to be captured between said outer member and said inner member; and    said housing having a partly circular first sizing cavity of a first specific diameter, the canister is to be placed within said first sizing cavity and, if the cylindrical shape canister fits within said first sizing cavity, said product will be the correct size for the canister.    
     
     
         12 . The package as defined in  claim 11  wherein: 
 said housing in the area of said product being transparent in order to visually observe the product through said package.  
 
     
     
         13 . The package as defined in  claim 11  wherein: 
 said housing having a partly circular second sizing cavity of a second specific diameter, said second specific diameter being different from said first specific diameter, if the canister fits within or is smaller than said first sizing cavity and if the canister fits within or is larger than said second sizing cavity, the product will be the correct size for the canister.  
 
     
     
         14 . A method of packaging a product comprising the steps of: 
 forming a housing with a product receiving chamber;    placing of said product within said product receiving chamber; and    forming at least one sizing cavity within said housing of a specific size and shape, whereby a separate canister is to be matingly positioned within said sizing cavity and if the canister fits there within the product is the correct size to be used with the canister.    
     
     
         15 . The method as defined in  claim 14  wherein the forming step includes: 
 forming a pair of sizing cavities within said housing with each sizing cavity being of a different size, and if the canister is equal in size or smaller to one sizing cavity and the canister is equal in size and larger than the other sizing cavity, the product within that package will be usable with that canister.  
 
     
     
         16 . A method of merchandising a product comprising the steps of: 
 placing said product in a housing;    forming in said housing at least one sizing cavity of a specific size and shape; and    attempting to place a canister separate from said housing within said sizing cavity, and if it fits there within said product will be the correct size of product to be used with the canister, and if the canister does not fit there within, said product is not the correct size of product to be used with the canister.    
     
     
         17 . The method as defined in  claim 16  wherein the forming step includes: 
 forming a pair of separate sizing cavities within said housing where each sizing cavity is of a different size.  
 
     
     
         18 . The method as defined in  claim 1  wherein there are available a plurality of different sizes of said product with each size of said product to be usable with a specific size of said housing result in the forming of a plurality of different sizes of said housing.
