Abstract
ABSTRACT
A carton for electronic thermometer probe covers used in a probe cover holding and dispensing arrangement for an electronic thermometer is formed from a blank of sheet material including side panels and front and back panels fastened together. Flaps form a bottom for the carton and a top flap is formed of two sections defined by a weakened line, the top flap being adhesively secured to the front flap. One of the sections of the top flap may be grasped and torn from the carton along the weakened line to form an aperture for probe covers in the carton.

Referring to the drawings with particular reference to Figures l and 4, a housing 10 containing the electronic thermometer is provided at its upper end wi~h a display panel ll to read out body temperature. An isolation chamber 12 at one side of the housing 10 receives and stores a probe 13 connected to the chamber by a cable 14.

and probe, are provided in U.S. patent ~f~ ~rt~ns~her~

~,i~},}~ ~}~ -De~e ~ ~ ~37~5~, for "~lectronic Thermo-meter with Probe Isolation Chamber," assigned to the assignee of this application.
As best shown in Figures l and 2, a probe storage chamber 15 is ~ormed under the front wall 16 of the housing 10. The chamber 15 is open at its left-hand side to permit insertion of a carton 17 containing probe covers 18. A
slightly raised rib-like portion 15a at the entrance to the chamber 15 assists in retaining the carton 17 in place, as shown in Figure 4.
~s shown in Figure 2, a sliding cover l9, prefer-ably translucent or transparent, is mounted in a groove 23.
at the upper end of the chamber 15. A tab 21 on one side of the cover 19 protrudes through a slot 22 in the housing wall 16 to permit it to be moved along the groove 20. A resilient : 25 cut-out 23 in the cover l9 carries a small ~utton 23a adapted to snap into recesses 24 and 25 in a wall 26 defining the upper end of the chamber 15. When the tab 21 is pushed to the left, as shown in ~igure l, the cover 13 seals an aperture ~2~
27 leading to the chamber 15, and is held in place when the button 23a snaps in~o the recess 25.
The probe cover carton 17 i5 formed from a blank of sheet material 30, as shown in Figure 8. ~he blank 30 includes an overlapping end panel 31 joined by a fold line 32 to a first side panel 33 from which extends flaps 34 and 35. A fol~ line 36 joins the side panel 33 to a front panel 37 provided with a portion defined by a weakened semi-circular line 38 adjacent the side panel 33. The weakened line may be produced by partially perforating or scoring the panel along the line shown.
A fold line 39 joins the front panel ~7 to a second side panel 40 from one end of which extends a flap 410 A
fold line 42 connects a back panel 43 to ~he second side panel 40. A bottom flap 44, joined to the back flap 43 by a fold line 45, is crossed by a parallel fold line 46 which terminates at end cuts 47 and 48.
A fold line 49 at the upper end of the back panel 43 j~i~s it to a top flap 50. A weakened line 51 extends from the fold line 49 across the top flap 50 to a cut-away portion 52, thu~ permitting separation of the top flap 50 into a tear-away flap 50a and a flap 50b. A fold line 53 extends along the top flap 50 parallel to the fold line 4g.
To assemble the carton 17, suitable adhesive is 25 applied to the overlapping flap 31, the carton folded on the lines 32, 36, 39 and 42, and the overlapping flap affixe~ to the inside of ~he back flap 43. Suitable adhesive is then placed on ~he flap 50b to secure them to the front panel 37 as shown in ~igure 5. The flap 50a is torn along the weakened ~.2~ 5~2 &i~
line 51, and torn along the ~old li~e 49, which also may be weakene~, to provide an opening for access to the probe eovers 18, as shown in Figures 1 and 6.
The probe covers 18 are then inserted into the carton 17, the bottom flap 46 suitably tucked into the car-ton, and a number of cartons suitably packaged or boxed for convenient use.
When the electronic thermometer is to be used, one of the cartons 17 is selected, the flap 50a torn off to expose the covers 18, and the carton then inserted into the chamber 15, as shown in Figure 1. Rough surface tapes 54 adhered to the underside of the housing wall 16, as shown in Figure 7, engage and frictionally hold the carton 17 securely in posi-tion in the chamber 15. Alternatively, ribs 54a on the 1~ underside of the wall 16, as shown in Figure 7A, engage an~
frictionally hold the carton.
The tab 21 is used to slide the cover 19 to the right to provide access to the probe oovers 18, and the probe 13 inserted into one of the covers visible through the aper-ture, as shown in Figure 4. The probe cover snaps onto the ~ S. I~a~ 0.probe 13, as disclosed in the aforementioned ~ h~Dr-r7 }~

.. . . . , .. , . _ _, _ _ _ _ ' To place additional probe covers 18 in posi~ion to be used, the housing 10 need only be tilted to cause 'che covers to slide toward the aperture 27.
After all of the probe covers 18 in the carton 17 have ~een used, the portion of the front cover defined by the weakened line 3~ is depressed and torn, ~o enable removal of the carton 17, by insertion of a finger, against the fric-tional resis~ance of the tapes 54 or ribs 54a. Note that a cut-out 16a in the wall 16 provides access to the depressible 10 portion defined by the line 33.
While the invention has been shown and described with reference to the illustrated embodiment, it should be understood that various changes in form and details may be made without departing from the scope of the invention which is defined in the appendea claims.

slightly raised rib-like portion 15a at the entrance to the chamber 15 assists in retaining the carton 17 in place, as shown in Figure 4.
~s shown in Figure 2, a sliding cover l9, prefer-ably translucent or transparent, is mounted in a groove 23.
at the upper end of the chamber 15. A tab 21 on one side of the cover 19 protrudes through a slot 22 in the housing wall 16 to permit it to be moved along the groove 20. A resilient : 25 cut-out 23 in the cover l9 carries a small ~utton 23a adapted to snap into recesses 24 and 25 in a wall 26 defining the upper end of the chamber 15.

The probe cover carton 17 i5 formed from a blank of sheet material 30, as shown in Figure 8. ~he blank 30 includes an overlapping end panel 31 joined by a fold line 32 to a first side panel 33 from which extends flaps 34 and 35. A fol~ line 36 joins the side panel 33 to a front panel 37 provided with a portion defined by a weakened semi-circular line 38 adjacent the side panel 33. The weakened line may be produced by partially perforating or scoring the panel along the line shown.
A fold line 39 joins the front panel ~7 to a second side panel 40 from one end of which extends a flap 410 A
fold line 42 connects a back panel 43 to ~he second side panel 40. A bottom flap 44, joined to the back flap 43 by a fold line 45, is crossed by a parallel fold line 46 which terminates at end cuts 47 and 48.
A fold line 49 at the upper end of the back panel 43 j~i~s it to a top flap 50. A weakened line 51 extends from the fold line 49 across the top flap 50 to a cut-away portion 52, thu~ permitting separation of the top flap 50 into a tear-away flap 50a and a flap 50b. A fold line 53 extends along the top flap 50 parallel to the fold line 4g.
To assemble the carton 17, suitable adhesive is 25 applied to the overlapping flap 31, the carton folded on the lines 32, 36, 39 and 42, and the overlapping flap affixe~ to the inside of ~he back flap 43. Suitable adhesive is then placed on ~he flap 50b to secure them to the front panel 37 as shown in ~igure 5. The flap 50a is torn along the weakened ~.2~ 5~2 &i~
line 51, and torn along the ~old li~e 49, which also may be weakene~, to provide an opening for access to the probe eovers 18, as shown in Figures 1 and 6.
The probe covers 18 are then inserted into the carton 17, the bottom flap 46 suitably tucked into the car-ton, and a number of cartons suitably packaged or boxed for convenient use.
When the electronic thermometer is to be used, one of the cartons 17 is selected, the flap 50a torn off to expose the covers 18, and the carton then inserted into the chamber 15, as shown in Figure 1. Rough surface tapes 54 adhered to the underside of the housing wall 16, as shown in Figure 7, engage and frictionally hold the carton 17 securely in posi-tion in the chamber 15. Alternatively, ribs 54a on the 1~ underside of the wall 16, as shown in Figure 7A, engage an~
