Then, the unbent main end sealing piece 328a, 328b is bent and adhered around the connection portion of the top end piece 318 to the lower portion thereof The main end sealing sheets 323b, 324b and/or the sub end sealing sheets 321c/321d, 321a/321b, 326b, 322b. Preferably, the top end sealing piece 328a constituting a part of the taking structure is adhered to the upper portions 321d, 321a of the secondary end sealing pieces 321c/321d, 321a/321b, and the bottom end sealing piece The upper portion 323a of the outer surface of 323b. In this manner, the frangible sections 328a, 321, 323a, 376, 321a, 332 are joined or adhered together and thus substantially as a single piece or component 328a/321d/323a/321a (e.g. It is removed as described later, and the tear strip 376/332 is removed as another separable material.

圖2所示者係具有該取用結構328a/321d/323a/321a/332/376之該複合端壁板328a/323b/321d/321c/321a/321b的外部視圖。2 is an external view of the composite endwall 328a/323b/321d/321c/321a/321b of the access structure 328a/321d/323a/321a/332/376.

圖2中所示之該取用結構係處於未使用狀態,其中該紙箱結構330保持完好,無法取用物品A。如圖所示,該易裂線352與該頂板片318及該頂部端封襟片328a之間的鉸接部325d(亦即圖1所示者)完全相合。該頂部端封襟片328a提供一個該取用結構的第一易裂區段,該區段在該取用結構被拆開時可整個移除,據以提供一個至少約有半個紙箱深度及相當於紙箱全寬的開口(請參閱圖4及圖5)。較佳地,該頂部端封襟片328a被黏附到(可選用熱熔式黏著劑,但其它適宜的黏附用具亦可採用)該底部端封襟片323b的一上部323a;該第一側邊端封襟片321c/321d的一上部321d;以及該第二側邊端封襟片321a/321b的一上部321a(如前所述)。此外,該頂部端封襟片328a的側緣可選用斜錐形,且除了與該頂板片318的易裂鉸接部352外,未與該紙箱330本體的其它部份,亦即不屬於取用結構一部份者另有連接。該頂部端封襟片328a可用於將該取用結構的易裂區段321d、323a、321a彼此連接在一起。The access structure shown in Figure 2 is in an unused state in which the carton structure 330 remains intact and the item A cannot be accessed. As shown, the frangible line 352 is fully engaged with the hinge portion 325d (i.e., as shown in Figure 1) between the top panel 318 and the top end sealing tab 328a. The top end sealing tab 328a provides a first frangible section of the access structure, the section being removable as the access structure is disassembled, thereby providing a depth of at least about half of the carton and Corresponds to the full width of the carton (see Figures 4 and 5). Preferably, the top end sealing piece 328a is adhered to (optionally a hot melt adhesive, but other suitable adhesive means may also be used) an upper portion 323a of the bottom end sealing piece 323b; the first side An upper portion 321d of the end sealing jaw 321c/321d; and an upper portion 321a of the second side end sealing tab 321a/321b (as described above). In addition, the side edge of the top end sealing piece 328a may be tapered, and the other parts of the body of the carton 330 are not in use except for the frangible hinge 352 of the top plate 318. Some parts of the structure are connected. The top end sealing tab 328a can be used to join the frangible sections 321d, 323a, 321a of the access structure to each other.

另外的易裂線340、334係設於該次端封襟片321c/321d上,且其係設成能將該次端封襟片321c/321d分開成兩個區段:隨著該取用結構移除的321d;且(利用與該第一側板片316的鉸接部325c)始終附著在該紙箱330上的321c。The additional breakable lines 340, 334 are disposed on the secondary end sealing piece 321c / 321d, and are configured to separate the secondary end sealing piece 321c / 321d into two sections: with the access The structure removed 321d; and (with the hinge portion 325c with the first side panel 316) is always attached to the cardboard box 330 321c.

設於該主端封襟片323b上的該等易裂線374a、374b構成一條穿孔撕裂條376。在該撕裂條376的一端可設一個有助於使用者抓住該撕裂條376的啟封區段。一下方的次端封襟片321a可選擇性地另包括由易裂 或穿孔線374c、374d與一啟封區段378共同界定出該撕裂條332的一部份。另一條設於該次端封襟片321a/321b上的易裂線338係設成能將該次端封襟片321a/321b分開成兩個區段:隨著該取用結構移除的321a;且(利用與該第二側板片312的鉸接部325a)始終附著在該紙箱330上的321b。The frangible lines 374a, 374b disposed on the primary end sealing tab 323b form a perforated tear strip 376. An unsealing section can be provided at one end of the tear strip 376 to assist the user in grasping the tear strip 376. A lower secondary end sealing piece 321a may alternatively be further comprised of a crack Or the perforation lines 374c, 374d together with an unsealing section 378 define a portion of the tear strip 332. Another frangible line 338 disposed on the secondary end sealing piece 321a/321b is configured to separate the secondary end sealing piece 321a/321b into two sections: 321a removed with the access structure And (with the hinge portion 325a with the second side panel 312) always attached to the cardboard box 330 321b.

該啟封區段378係設成用以開始對該可分離取用結構進行拆開作業。該啟封區段378可選擇性地包括一個設於該次端封襟片321a/321b上的孔口。然而,在其它實施例中,該啟封區段378亦被設想成可設於該底部主端封襟片323a/323b上。或者,該啟封區段378可包括一片至少有一部份係由易裂線、弱化線或折疊線所界定成的按壓片(push tab)。此種按壓片可設有一個較容易跟該次端封襟片321a/321b的其它部份斷開(或跟該底部主端封襟片323b斷開)的弱化區域。因此,使用者可善用該啟封區段378的孔口而將該複合撕裂條376/332充分抓牢,以便沿著該等易裂線374a、374b、374c、374d拉扯該複合撕裂條376/332,並將其扯裂(請參閱圖3)。The unsealing section 378 is configured to initiate disassembly of the separable access structure. The unsealing section 378 can optionally include an aperture disposed in the secondary end sealing tab 321a/321b. However, in other embodiments, the unsealing section 378 is also contemplated as being mountable on the bottom main end sealing tab 323a/323b. Alternatively, the unsealing section 378 can include a push tab that is at least partially defined by a frangible line, a weakened line, or a fold line. Such a pressing piece may be provided with a weakened area which is easier to be disconnected from (or disconnected from) the other end sealing piece 321a/321b. Accordingly, the user can utilize the aperture of the unsealing section 378 to fully grasp the composite tear strip 376/332 to pull the composite tear strip along the frangible lines 374a, 374b, 374c, 374d. 376/332 and tear it apart (see Figure 3).

在拆開該撕裂條376/332之後或在拆開的期間,能讓該可分離取用結構的剩餘部份從該紙箱330分開。在拆開該撕裂條376/332之後或在拆開的期間,可將該易裂線334弄斷到會使該等次襟片321a/321b、321c/321d分開變成兩部份的程度。於是,使用者可將剩餘的易裂區段往上拉,據以弄破那些與鄰接該等第一及第二側壁板316、312(請參閱圖3)之鉸接部相合的連接部340、338。接著,沿著形成位置與該頂部端封襟片328a及該頂板片318之間的頂點或角隅相合的易裂連接部352將其扯裂,即能讓該可分離取用結構從該紙箱330的剩餘部份完全分開。就此而言,該頂板片318、第一側板片316或第二側板片312其中任一片都不會,或至少不會有相當大的一部份從該紙箱330移除。只有一複合端壁板結構的一部份會被移除。所以,該紙箱330本體的結構保持完整,能用以裝放及保持住裝入其內的物品A。該複合端壁板的剩餘部份323b/321c/321b構成一片高度高到足以防止任何物品不慎掉出,卻又低到足以讓消費者能夠輕易經由所設開口取出物品的止擋壁板。The remainder of the separable access structure can be separated from the carton 330 after the tear strip 376/332 is disassembled or during disassembly. After the tear strip 376/332 is disassembled or during the disassembly, the frangible line 334 can be broken to such an extent that the secondary webs 321a/321b, 321c/321d are separated into two portions. Thus, the user can pull up the remaining frangible sections to break the joints 340 that meet the hinges adjacent the first and second side wall panels 316, 312 (see FIG. 3), 338. Then, the frangible connection portion 352 which meets the apex or corner between the top end sealing piece 328a and the top plate piece 318 is torn along the forming position, so that the detachable structure can be taken from the carton The remainder of 330 is completely separated. In this regard, none of the top sheet 318, the first side panel 316, or the second side panel 312 will, or at least not have, a substantial portion be removed from the carton 330. Only a portion of the composite end panel structure will be removed. Therefore, the structure of the body of the carton 330 remains intact and can be used to hold and hold the articles A loaded therein. The remaining portion 323b/321c/321b of the composite end panel forms a stop panel that is high enough to prevent any items from inadvertently falling out, yet low enough for the consumer to easily remove the item through the opening provided.

因此,在將該取用結構拆掉後,該紙箱本體具有結構仍保持完整的益處。這在該紙箱330若儲放於冰箱之類的潮濕環境中(潮濕可讓紙 板式基板弱化),及/或該紙箱330如裝有重物(例如,12oz/330ml的玻璃瓶)時甚具助益。另外,冰箱如因冷藏間和層架高度限制以致較難經由該紙箱頂部取用物品時,消費者也願意使用本發明這種能將紙箱330擺入冰箱的設計。是以,只要在該端壁板上開設一開口(可選擇性地設於寬度最小的端部,而非較寬的側邊),使其在該紙箱330被擺入冰箱的層架時置於前方,即可減輕從該紙箱頂板片取出物品的需求,連帶減輕冰箱內高度要高出該紙箱330的需求。該等物品若為斜錐形時,例如瓶子A,以及基於穩定理由和為求保護易碎物品(瓶子如為玻璃材質者),就要更加考量到該等物品與紙箱底、頂部及端壁板的相對取向,屆時該紙箱330的取向宜保持成讓該等物品A底部所接觸的底部板片314始終位於最底下。Therefore, after the take-up structure is removed, the carton body has the benefit that the structure remains intact.
