SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has a front plate and a side wall plate on the left and right sides of the front plate, which is continuous and separable, and the rear plate is provided with the unsealing line. In a carton that has a folding line continuous to the line and is rotatably formed around the folding line after the lid portion above the opening line is separated from the opening line, in the front plate,
(EN) A carton characterized in that an opening having a width smaller than the width dimension of the front plate is provided continuously with the unsealing line of the front plate to solve the above problems.

[0007]

In the present invention, since the front plate is provided with the opening in advance, the opening line on the side of the lid in the opening can be used as a finger hook to rotate the lid to divide the opening line. Even after opening, the lid-side opening edge of the opening can be hooked with a finger to rotate the lid in the opening direction.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to an embodiment shown in FIGS. Portions having the same configurations as those of the conventional example shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG. 1, the front plate 2 of the carton 1 and the side plates 3 and 4 on the left and right of the front plate 2 are
An opening line 5 composed of perforations 10 for cutting is provided,
A fold line 7 is provided on the rear plate 6 at a position higher than the position of the opening line 5 on the front plate 2, and the opening line 5 on the side plates 3, 4 is inclined so as to be continuous with the folding line 7. . The front plate 2 below the opening line 5, that is, the lid portion 8
The front plate 2 other than the above is provided with an opening 11 continuous with the opening line 5. The opening 11 has an opening width smaller than the width of the front plate 2, and the upper edge side of the opening 11 is the lower edge portion 1 of the front plate 2 in the lid 8.
2

As described above, in the carton 1, since the front plate 2 below the opening line 5 is provided with the opening 11 which is continuous with the opening line 5 with a small width, the front side of the opening 11 on the side of the lid is straight. The carton 1 can be opened by turning the lid portion 8 with the lower edge portion 12 of the face plate 2 as a finger rest to divide the opening line 5. After this opening, the carton 1 is opened and closed by the rotation of the lid portion 8, and when the lid portion 8 is opened, the lower edge portion 12 (the upper edge of the opening portion 11) is used as a finger hook to facilitate the lid portion 8. Comes to rotate. It should be noted that the opening width of the opening 11 may be such that the fingertip can be inserted. In this way, if the opening width of the opening 11 is smaller than the width of the front plate 2 and is such that the fingertips can be inserted, it will be like a chocolate bar corresponding to the width of the front plate 2 as an item to be stored in the carton. Even when a plurality of small items are stored in parallel, the stored items do not spill out from the opening 11 when the lid 8 is closed, and the stored state of the carton stored items is not opened. Both can be visually observed. . In addition, inside the carton 1, the tray 20 on which the side plates 22 whose corners are rounded off are erected on both sides of the back plate 21 is brought out from the opening when the carton lid is rotated. It is installed. In addition to the purpose of aligning and storing the contents even in the opening of the carton, the tray 20 makes contact with and engages the front side of the side plate 22 with the inner surface of the front plate 2 of the lid of the carton. It also has the purpose of resealing the lid. At this time, since the opening 11 does not hinder the engagement state of these members, the engagement functions sufficiently and a satisfactory resealing state can be obtained.
