Abstract
Description
CLAIMS 1. A carton having a number of interconnected panels thereby to define an enclosed volume, one or more of said panels being movable relative to the other panels to increase said enclosed volume. 2. A carton as claimed in claim 1 wherein the panels include a base panel, front and rear panels connected to opposite edges of the base panel, top closure means, first side panels hingedly connected to the rear panel and second side panels hingedly connected to the front panel and interconnected with the respective first side panels so as to be movable relative thereto. 3. A carton as claimed in claim 2 wherein the first side panels have one or more arcuate slots centered on the hinge connection between the rear panel and the base panel, inwardly projecting tabs being provided on the second side panels for interengagement with the slots to guide the movement of the rear and first side panels relative to the second side panels. 4. A carton as claimed in claim 3 wherein two spaced tabs and two spaced slots are provided on each side of the carton. 5. A carton as claimed in claim 3 or claim 4 wherein each tab has lateral projections which project radially beyond the arcuate side edges of its associated slot on the inside of the carton. 6. A carton as claimed in any one of claims 2 to 5 wherein the relative movement of the panels results in a substantial doubling of the length of the side edges at the top opening of the carton, when the carton is expanded. 7. A carton as claimed in any one of claims 2 to 6 wherein the top closure means comprises side flaps hingedly connected to respective second side panels and an overlying top panel hingedly connected to the rear panel, the top panel having a tuck flap remote from the rear panel for releasable retention between the front panel and the two side flaps.
