  • the carton is readily formed from paperboard which can be treated to provide liquid leak-proofness, and may be made from a unitary blank of such material, thus permitting the economy of manufacture required in the competitive market developed through widespread use of this type of container for milk.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a top end closure for such a carton or container, which is leak-proof and yet may be readily opened by a mere tearing away of a portion of the closure to release the dispensing means for use.
  • Another object is to provide such a closure which permits of stacking the containers one on top of the other to save space during shipment and storage.
  • Another object is to provide in such a closure at fiat, multi-layer closure seam which may be readily torn endwise to release the dispensing means.
  • Another object is to provide a unitary blank of material of a particular configuration which will readily produce a finished container having a top end closure of the above mentioned characteristics.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a sealed container embodying the instant invention
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view of a unitary blank from which the container in FIG. 1 is made, the view showing the outer face of the blank, the blank being shown at a re Jerusalem scale;
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view of the container as taken substantially along a plane indicated by the lines 3-3 in FIG. 1, with parts broken away;

  • the crease lines 106 are coextensive with thetear lines 85, 86 while the diagonal crease lines 105 terminate just short of the tear lines 85, 86.
  • the tab portion 111 of the outer closure panel 56 is a short tab which extends the full width of the panel 56 and is hingedly connected at one end to the long tab 93 of the adjacent inner closure panel 58.
  • the length of this short tab 111 is substantially equal to the length of the short tabs 75, 94 on the inner closure panels 59, 58 respectively.
  • the tab portion 112 of the outer closure panel 57 is a long tab which extends the full width of the panel 57 and is hingedly connected at its ends to the short tabs 75, 94 of the inner closure panels 59, 58 respectively.
  • the length of this long tab 112 is substantially equal to the long tabs 76, 93 of the inner closure panels 59, 58 respectively.
  • the blank 21 is first folded along the side wall crease lines 26, 27, 28, 32 to form the rectangular body 11 as bestshown in FIG. 5, the four side walls 22, 23, 24, 25 being tied together by the glue flap 31 which is bonded by a suitable adhesive to the inner face of the side wall 22 along its free edge.
  • the four bottom flaps 41, 42, 43, 44 and the glue flap portion 36 are then folded in the usual manner into over-lapping position perpendicular to the side walls, along their respective crease lines 45, 46, 47, 48, 33 and are adhesively secured together to form the bottom 16 of the container.
  • This is a conventional bottom construction.
  • the resulting container is ready' for filling if a non-liquid product is to be packed therein.
  • the open end container is usu ally provided with a sheet liner or is immersed in or otherwise coated with molten wax or other liquid proofing substance to render the container leakproof.
  • the filled container is closed and sealed by positioning the outer closure panels 56, 57 over the inner closure panels 58, 59 and overlapping the various tabs in oppositely directed relation and adhesively bonding them together with a suitable adhesive to produce a fiat multilayer, butt and lap end seam 116 (FIGS. 1, 3 and 4) which surmounts the outer closure panels 56, 57 and which permanently secures all of the top end closure panels together in a leakproof closure.
  • the forming of the top end closure 17 is started by hinging the central tabs 77, 95 outwardly into a horizontal relation as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6 or inwardly if desired as shown in FIG. 9 and then pressing inwardly against the trapezoidal sections 71, 88 of the respective inner closure panels 59, 58 as shown in FIG. 6.
  • This pressing action hinges the trapezoidal sections 71, 88 along their respective creaselines 64, 63 and simultaneously hinges the adjacent triangular portions 72, 73, 91, 92 along their diagonal crease lines 66, 67, 83, 84.
  • the triangular portions 72, 73, 91, 92 are drawn inwardly and they in turn draw the outer closure panels 56, 57 downwardly over the inner closure panels until the triangular portions are face-to-face with and engaged against the inner faces of the outer closure panels as shown in FIGS. 3 and 6.
  • the outer closure panels are disposed in a peaked or gable shaped relation. If desired these outer closure panels may be made to lay fiat to produce a fiat top container, by a mere proper proportioning of the angles of the crease lines and the dimensions of the closure parts.
  • the short tab 111 is hinged downwardly, along its crease line 106, as Shown in FIG. 6. This positions the long tabs 76, 93 in a horizontal relation and in contact with the central tabs 77, 95 respectively as shown in FIG. 6.
  • the tabs 77, 76, 111 and the tabs 95, 93, 111 are permanently secured together by a suitable adhesive.
  • the long tab 112 is hinged down wardly along its crease line 106 into a position overlapping the short tab 111.
  • This action positions the short tabs 75, 94 of the respective inner closure panels 59, 58 into overlapping engagement with the long tabs 76, 93 of the inner closure panels and in abutting relation to the short tab 111 of the outer closure panel 56 as shown in FIG. 3.
  • This also positions the long tab 112 of the outer closure panel 57 on top of the short tab 111 as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the short tabs 75, 94 are permanently bonded to the long tabs 76, 93 and the long tab 112 by a suitable adhesive, and the long tab 112 is also permanently bonded to the short tab 111. It is this overlapping, abutting and bonding together of the various tabs that produces the permanent lap and butt end seam 116 which closes and seals the filled container.
  • the conveniently available dispensing means hereinbefore mentioned is incorporated in the inner closure panel 58 and comprises the trapezoidal section 88, its two adjacent triangular wing portions 91, 92, the two adjacent triangular wing portions 108 in the outer closure panels 56, 57 and the coextensive tear lines 85, 86, 87 which are disposed at the base of the tabs 93, 94, 95, 111, 112 connected with these panel sections.
  • the tear lines 85, 86 extend along and are parallel with opposite sides of the end seam 116 while the tear line 87 extends across the central tab 95.
  • the trapezoidal section and the wing portions are free of all tab portions.
  • the trapezoidal section may be readily forced out as shown in FIG. 8 to provide a conveniently shaped and proportioned pouring spout to dispense the contents of the container.
  • the crease lines 101, 102, 103 in the trapezoidal section 88 andthe side wall 23 of the container provide for the extension of this pouring spout into the side wall and thereby elongate the spout for more advantageous pouring, thus eliminating a darn ettect along the crease line 63.
  • the spout may be pushed back into its original position as shown in FIG. 7 and the partially torn 011 end seam 116 pressed down over the opening to temporarily reclose the container.
