Application April 1, 1940, Serial No. 327,303
g 1 Claim. (01. 221-11) The present invention relates to cartons adapted for containing cereal, granulated material and the like and has for its primary object to provide a spout normally concealed in one wall of the carton and adapted to be moved into an outwardly projecting position to facilitate the pouring of the contents of the carton therefrom.
A further object is to provide a dispensing carton of this character of simple and practical construction, which is efilcient and reliable in use, relatively inexpensive to manufacture and otherwise well adapted for the purposes for which the same is intended.
Other objects and advantages reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to theaccompanying drawing forming part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to lik parts throughout, and in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a carton showing the door for securing the spout in folded position.
Figure 2 is a fragmentary perspective view showing the spout in an open position.
Figure 3 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view taken substantially on a line 3-3 of Figure 2, and
, Figure 4 is a fragmentary transverse sectional view taken substantially on a line 4-4 of Figure 2.
Referring now to the drawing in detail. the numeral 5 designates a carton generally which is preferably constructed of cardboard or similar stifi material and including the top flaps 6 which are preferably secured in overlapping position by a suitable adhesive or the like for sealing the carton. In the end wall 1 of the carton is shown a door 8, the door being constructed of the material of the end wall 1 and is separated from the material along its top 9 and side edges Ill, the bottom I I being unsevered and preferably creased to permit the door to swing outwardly into a horizontal position along its bottom edge.
The door is thus adapted to close the opening l2 formed in the end wall 1 and registering with said opening is an opening l3 formed'in the adjacent wall of an inner receptacle it which is usually constructed of waterproof material, such as wax paper or the like, A spout designated generally at l5 and preferably constructed of paper or similar flexible material, has its inner edge portion inserted through the opening 82 and secured to the inner surface of the end wall I as shown at IS. The spout includes side walls I! and a. bottom Hi, the latter being secured fiatwise against the inner surface of the door 8 by gluing or the like, the area of the bottom l8 being slightly less than the area of the door as more clearly shown in Figure 2 of the drawing, to permit complete closing of the door flush with th surface of the end wall I. The side walls II are folded along an intermediate line as shown at IS, the side walls being adapted forfolding inwardly when the spout is closed.
A sealing tab 20 is adhesively secured in overlapping relation with the top edge 8 of the door so as to secure the door in closed position to the end wall I, it being necessary to remove the tab 20 in order to efiect an opening of the door 8.
The openings l2 and I3 are coextensive so that upon the closing of the door the latter also serves to close the opening [3.
From the foregoing it will be apparent that normally the door is secured in its closed position until thecontents of the package or carton are desired to be removed, whereupon the seal 20 is broken, the door 8 moved into its open position which thereby extends the spout l5 outwardly and permits the contents of the carton to be dispensed therefrom.
It is believed the details of construction, ad-
the opening for opening and closing the carton,
a foldable spout including a bottom wall secured to the inner face of the closure and of a size less than the size of said closure to permit the latter to move into the opening flush with the wall of the carton, and side walls integral with the bottom wall and creased transversely thereof to permit folding of said side walls on the bottom wall during the movement of the closure into a position closing said opening, said side walls extending beyond one end of the bottom wall and through the opening and secured to the inner face of the wall of the carton about said opening, and a securing tab for releasably securing the closure in opening-closing position.
