A display box includes a housing for supporting a product, a lid, and a removable hanger for locking the lid and housing in a closed position. In the unlocked position, the lid is rotatable relative to the housing along an axis of rotation. A set of cooperating locking members are provided on the lid, housing and hanger. In one embodiment, the housing includes a first locking member in the form of a notch, and the lid includes a second locking member of the same type as the housing. The locking hanger includes a pair of corresponding tabs which are sized to fit within the notches. In use, the tabs are inserted within the notches and slid into a locked position to prevent rotation of the lid. To remove the product from within the locked box the hanger must first be removed from engagement with the lid and housing.

1. A display box assembly comprising:a housing constructed and arranged to display a product and including a base supporting a first locking member;a lid supporting a second locking member, the lid being rotatable in an unlocked state between an opened and a closed position with respect to the housing;a locking hanger including a third locking member and a fourth locking member;wherein in a locked position one of the third and fourth locking members engages the first locking member of the housing and the other of the third and fourth locking members engages the second locking member of the lid such that the lid remains in the closed position and is not rotatable until the locking hanger is disengaged;said lid further including a top, a pair of side walls, a rear wall, and a bottom extension that extends from the rear wall;said second locking member being supported on the bottom extension of the lid; andsaid first and second locking members comprising slots and said third and fourth locking members comprising tabs constructed and arranged to engage the slots, wherein said tabs include a post supporting a head and wherein said slots include an opening sized to receive the head and a reduced diameter slot extending from the opening sized to engage the post in the locked position.2. A display box assembly comprising:a housing constructed and arranged to display a product and including a base supporting a first slot;a lid supporting a second slot, the lid being rotatable in an unlocked state between an opened and a closed position with respect to the housing;a locking hanger supporting a first tab and a second tab wherein in a locked position the first tab engages the first slot and the second tab engages the second slot such that the lid remains in the closed position and is not rotatable until the locking hanger is disengaged;said lid further including a top, a pair of side walls, a rear wall, and a bottom extension that extends from the rear wall; andsaid second locking member being supported on the bottom extension of the lid, wherein the first and second tabs each include a post supporting a head, and wherein the first and second slots each include an opening sized to receive the head and a reduced diameter slot extending from the opening sized to engage the post in the locked position.3. A display box assembly comprising:a base member;a lid member, pivot means connecting said base and lid members whereby said lid member may selectively be swung to an open or closed position;said lid member having a wall section that is co-planar with a wall section of said base member when said lid member is in its closed position; andlocking means releasably connected to said co-planar sections and extending from one section to the other, whereby when said locking means is in its operative connected position, said lid member is prevented from swinging to its open position, said locking means comprising a plate-like element having a pair of spaced tabs releasably engageable with a pair of openings, one of which is located on each co-planar wall section, said tabs each consisting of a headed stud, said openings each having a reverse keyhole configuration, the head portions of said studs being receivable within the larger portion of the opening, whereby downward sliding movement of said plate-like element causes said studs to move upwardly into the narrower portions of the openings, in which position said head portions retain the plate-like element assembled to the box to achieve the desired locking thereof.
