Portions on the end walls 22a, 22b will overlap with one or more of the scrim panels 72, 74 which may also have glue applied thereto. The containers C can be hollow in the preform 8 in a 3x4x1 arrangement. The reinforcing flap 130 is folded inwardly around the fold line 104, such that the underside of the flap of the reinforcement 130 is superimposed on the underside of the second portion of the handle 100. The first and second top panels 40, 50 are superimposed to secure them together. The ends of the preform 8 can be closed by folding the backsplash panels 72, 74 inward, together with the folding of the end panels 12, 22, 42, 52 inwards. In the illustrated embodiment, the handle 111 is a three-layer handle formed by first and second handle panels 80,100 and the position of reinforcements 130, but the handle may comprise more or less than three layers of material without deviating from the invention. The handle 11 includes handle opening 151, 153 either on one side or the other of the overlapping handle panels 80, 100. The carton 190 may be for example in the form of a parallelepiped or in general a parallelepiped or may be in other ways without deviating from the invention. The handle 11 can be activated by a user who places three fingers in the openings of the handle 151, 153 and holds the overlapping handle panels 80, 100 to advance the potions of the handle upwardly away from the upper panels 40, 50 in General in the relation of the arrow A4 in Figure 5. The lifting of the panels of the handle 80, 100 will hold the handle 11 in the tear lines 82, 84 and 102 to at least partially separate the handle from the overlapping top panels 40, 50 and the end flaps superimposed 42a, 42b, 52a, 52b. The handle 11 can also be partially extended in such a way that the handle is further separated from the rest of the carton 190 along one or more of the lines 82, 84, 102, 104 (Figure 1). The carton 190 can be cut by the extended handle 11. Alternatively, the carton can be held and cut by respective openings (not shown) formed by folding the fins 110 of the carton inwardly around the cartons. crease lines 111. As shown in Figure 6, the dispenser 7 is activated to a partially open condition by separating the carton along the lines 86, 88, 106, 26 (Figure 1) and by swinging the upper portions 77a, 77b of the first and second sections of the spout 76a, 76b around the fold lines 79a, 79b to create respective spout openings 81a, 81b. The openings of the jet 81a, 81b allow access to the carton 190 and expose the tops of the containers C. As shown in Figure 10, the openings of the jet 81a, 81b of the carton 190 are opened. further by pivoting the lower positions 83a, 83b of the spout sections 76a, 76b by pulling the side panels 20, 30 outward in the direction of the arrows A5, A6, to extend the struts 70a, 70b outwardly. In the illustrated mode, glue can be selectively applied to either one or the other of the upper panels 42a, 42b or in the side panels 22a, 22b 32a, 32b in such a way that only one upper portion 78a, 78b of the upper panels is adhered to the upper panels. The lower portion 78c, 78d of the side panels 22a, 22b, 32a, 32b below the tear lines 26a, 26b are free from adhesive attachment to the upper panels 42a, 42b and the struts 70a, 70b, such that the lower portions can pivot outward when the spout sections are pivoted and the struts are deployed. Alternatively, one or more of the backstop panels 72, 74 may be glued to one end of the opposite side end 22, 32 to maintain the side walls 20 at a desired angle with respect to the bottom panel 10. The pivoting of the bottom portions 83a, 83b of the sections of the dispenser 76a, 76b expands the openings of the jet 81a, 81b. According to the above embodiment, ice, cold water, additional containers or other articles, for example can be placed in the carton 190 through one or both of the openings of the jet 81a, 81b. The struts 70, the lower end panels 12, and the side end panels 22 at least partially close the bottom portion of the carton 190 and create the partially closed bottom receptacle 13 at the bottom of the carton . The bottom or partially closed receptacle 13 of the box Open cardboard 190 may therefore be used to retain liquids, such as water formed from melting ice, condensation, other liquids and articles such as for example reject material or fine particulate matter such as powders. Referring to Figure 7, the bottom receptacle 13 can have a height HR below which the carton 190 is liquid tight. The height HR represents a portion of the bottom of the carton 190 below which no glue seal or seam is formed through which the water or other liquid could leak. Thus, according to the illustrated embodiment, no adhesive seal or other material binding element in which the fluid could escape the cardboard box 190 is located in the cardboard box below the height HR. Accordingly, the bottom receptacle 13 can be formed of a continuous section of folded material of the preform 8. The height HR of the liquid-tight portion of the receptacles 13 below which there are no glue seams can generally be approximately 0 m (zero inches) about 102 mm (4 inches) and more preferably, it can be about 70 mm (2 ¾ inches). It will be understood that all the dimension information presented herein is intended to be illustrative and is not intended to be used to limit the scope of the invention.

The illustrated mode handle 11 is a three layer handle comprising three layers of material (eg, handle portions 80, 100 and reinforcement fins 130). The handle 11 allows the carton 190 to be transported using only one hand. The handle 11 may be selected, for example to have sufficient strength to transport the carton 190, C-containers accommodated in the carton and additional items such as ice or ice water affixed to the carton 190 after the box cardboard has been opened. The cardboard box according to the principles of the patent invention can be formed from materials such as cardboard. Therefore, if they are exposed to water or other liquids for extended periods of time, the carton can allow the passage of liquid through the surface of the wet carton due to the partial permeability of the material of the carton. . In this specification, the term "liquid-tight" is generally used to define a section of a cardboard box that is formed from a continuous section of material or from a section without any glue seam through which the liquid or fine particulate matter could leak and therefore, the term "liquid-tight" marks the cardboard box that can become partially permeable to water over time.

The preforms according to the present invention can be formed for example from coated paperboard and similar materials. For example, the lower and / or outer sides of the preforms can be coated with a clay coating. The clay coating can then be printed with product, advertising, price code and other information or images. Then the preforms can be coated with a varnish to protect any printed information on the preforms. The preforms can also be coated, for example, with a moisture barrier cap, either on one or both sides of the preforms. According to the exemplary embodiments, the preforms can be constructed of cardboard of a caliber in such a way that it is heavier and more rigid than ordinary paper. For example, the gauge may be at least approximately 16. The preforms may also be constructed of other materials, such as cardboard, hard paper or any other material having appropriate properties to allow the package or carton box packaging. work at least as described in general above. The preforms can also be laminated to or coated with one or more sheet-like materials in selected panels or panel sections. In accordance with the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a fold line can be any shape substantially linear, although not necessarily straight weakening that facilitates folding along it. More specifically, but not for the purpose of narrowing the scope of the present invention, the fold lines include: a slagging line, such as lines formed by a sculpted slagging knife or the like, which creates a folded portion in the material along the line of desired weakness; a cut that extends partially to a material along the desired line of weakness and / or a series of cuts that extend partially and / or completely through the material along the desired line of weakness and various combinations of This elements. In situations where the cut is used to create a fold line, the cut will not usually extend excessively in a way that could cause a reasonable user to incorrectly consider the fold line to be a tear line. The above embodiments can be described as having one or more panels adhered together by glue. The term "glue" is intended to encompass all commonly used ways of adhesives to secure cardboard box panels in place. The above description of the invention illustrates and describes various embodiments of the present invention. Since several changes could be made in the previous construction without deviating from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying Figures be construed as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
