  • One recent type of container is known as the "FRIDGE PACKTM" carton.
  • FRIDGE PACKTM cartons are produced for and sold to bottlers under license with The Coca-Cola Company of Atlanta, Georgia for the sale of Coca-Cola ® brand products.
  • the "FRIDGE PACKTM” cartons generally have a two by six (2 x 6) product shape, with two (2) product columns in height and six (6) product rows in length.
  • One end of the carton generally is scored so as to permit the removal of a section of the carton such that the consumer can grasp the products within.
  • Still other known cartons employ an opening that pulls up from the bottom, e.g., U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 20040089671, assigned to the Zumbiel Corporation.
  • the portion of the carton remaining after being pulled up may be tucked into a slot in the top.
  • Such a design fails to satisfy the consumer's desire to pull down and toward the front in one motion to remove the access portion of the carton.
  • the present application thus provides a carton for containing a number of articles with each article having an article diameter.
  • the carton may include a front wall, a top wall, a pair of sidewalls, and an access aperture formed along the front wall, the top wall, and the sidewalls.
  • the access aperture extends along the front wall from the top wall for less than one article diameter and extends along each of the sidewalls from the top wall for more than one article diameter.
  • the access aperture defines a curvilinear shape along the front wall that extends from the sidewalls.
  • the access aperture along the front wall may include a height greater than the article diameter about the sidewalls and a height less than the article diameter about the middle of the front wall.

  • Fig. 2 shows a blank 200 that may be used to construct a carton 100 as shown in Fig. 1.
  • the blank 200 has various panels that may form the walls 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160 of the carton 100.
  • the blank 200 has a top panel 220 that forms the top wall 130, a bottom panel 230 that forms the bottom wall 140, a first side panel 240 that forms the first sidewall 150, and a second side panel 250 that forms the second sidewall 160.
  • the blank 200 also includes a pair of flaps that extend from the side panels 240, 250, a first flap 260 and a second flap 270.
  • the flaps 260, 270 form the front wall 110 when folded.
  • the top panel 220 and the bottom panel 230 further may have a pair of reinforcing flaps, a first reinforcing flap 280 and a second ' reinforcing flap 290, that are positioned behind the first and second flaps 260, 270 when folded.
  • the back wall 120 may be formed in a similar manner.
  • the tear lines 180 of the access flap 170 may extend from the thumbhole 195 across the width of the top panel 220.
  • the tear lines 180 may extend across the first and second side panels 240, 250 for a predetermined distance, curve in largely a perpendicular direction towards the flaps 260, 270, and then curve slightly inward back towards the top panel 220.
  • Vertical and horizontal lines also may be used herein as opposed to curved lines.
  • the tear lines 180 then continue into the first and second flaps 260, 270 at a diagonal and then finishing in a direction largely parallel to the first reinforcing flap 280.
  • the flaps 260, 270 also may have score lines 290 formed therein for strength.
  • the access flap 170 may be removed by pushing into the thumbhole 195 and ripping the access flap 170 across the top wall 130, the first sidewall 150, the front wall 110, and the second sidewall 160. Removing the access flap 170 forms the access aperture 190.
  • the access flap 270 forms a curved panel or lip 295 on the front wall 110 so as to maintain the first article 10 in position within the carton 100.
  • the carton 100 thus supports all of the articles 10 therein when the access flap 170 is removed.
  • the front wall 110 extends above the bottom article 10 within the carton 100 so as to support the top article 10 therein.
  • the front wall 110 may have a curved shape such that the front wall 110 may have a height less than the bottom article 10 about the sidewalls 150, 160 but a height greater than the bottom article 10 about the middle of the front wall 110.
  • the sidewalls 150, 160 likewise may not extend the full width or diameter of the bottom article 10 so as to provide ease of removal.

  • the top article 10 within the carton 310 may be pulled downward through the access aperture 345 and across the tab 340 or the bottom article 10 can be pulled upward and removed first. Any subsequent articles 10 may be lifted out from the top or bottom.
  • the carton 300 thus supports the articles 10 therein even when the access flap 320 has been removed.
  • a carton 400 may include the walls 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160 and may be manufactured from a blank as is described above.

  • the access flap 170 may extend in a wide "U" shape along the top wall 130 and then extend down the width of the front wall 110. Any other desired configuration may be used herein. Removal of the access flap 170 leaves two vertically running strips 410 on either side of the front wall 110.
  • the carton 400 also may have a number of weakened regions 420. In this case, the weakened region 420 may be positioned along a corner 430 of the strips 410.

As illustrated, these tear lines 440 and 450 preferably run from an edge 460 of the opening of the carton 400 to the corners 430. In order to best facilitate removal of an item from the carton 400, the tear lines 440, 450 (or perforations or other weakened regions) are preferably spaced by a dimension roughly approximating the length or outside dimension of a can, bottle, or other item contained in the carton 400.
  • the access panel 170 of the carton 400 includes a tear line 470 at the base of the carton 400 to facilitate quick and easy removal of the access panel 170 from the remaining carton 400.
