Definitions

  • Dispensing cartons are known. Such cartons typically have a top panel formed from flaps that are separable to open the top of the carton. The contents of the carton can then be dispensed from the open carton top. Such cartons, however, typically are not easily closed once opened, and may not provide for easy dispensing of the carton contents.
  • One solution to this problem is to include a pivotable dispenser that can be opened for dispensing the carton contents and then closed for storage.
  • Conventional pivotable dispensers may be difficult to open and/or to place in a dispensing configuration.
  • Many conventional dispensers also require a metal or plastic insert spout piece to form the dispensing portion of the carton, which may increase costs and/or complexity of manufacture.
  • a carton comprises a first side panel, a first end panel, a second side panel, a second end panel, a bottom panel and a top panel.
  • the top panel comprises a first end top flap, a first side top flap overlying the first end top flap and having an aperture formed therein, and a second side top flap overlying the first side top flap.
  • the first end top flap is adhered to the underside of the second side top flap through the aperture in the first side top flap.
  • a plurality of lines of disruption in the second side top flap define in part a pivotable dispenser in the top panel.
  • the pivotable dispenser may be placed in a dispensing configuration by breaching the plurality of lines of disruption in the second side top flap and pulling the dispenser open.
  • An access flap can be defined in the dispenser to allow a user to insert a finger into the top panel and thereby access the dispenser. Accessing and opening the dispenser can be performed using a relatively simple motion.
  • the first end top flap can include a spout section having wing portions.
  • the wing portions can engage inside edges of the aperture in the first side top flap to secure the dispenser in the dispensing configuration. Locking cuts may be formed in the top panel in which the wing portions can be removably engaged to further secure the dispenser in the dispensing configuration.
  • the dispenser can be closed by pressing the dispenser back into the top panel.
  • the spout dispenser can be formed from the top flaps of the carton such that no additional inserts or pieces etc. are required.
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view of a first side of a blank used to form a carton having a pivotable spout dispenser according to a first embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a partially erected carton.
  • FIGS. 3A and 3B are perspective views of the erected carton.
  • FIG. 4 is a partial top plan view of the spout dispenser.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates the spout dispenser being opened.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates the spout dispenser being opened.
  • FIG. 7 is an end view of the carton with the spout dispenser opened and in a dispensing configuration.
  • the present invention generally relates to dispensing or pour features for cartons.
  • the present invention can be used, for example, in cartons that contain articles or other products such as, for example, food and beverages.
  • the articles can also include particulate products such as, for example, rice, beans, sugar, and other pourable dry products.
  • the relative terms “bottom,” “side,” “end,” and “top” may indicate orientations determined in relation to fully erected and upright cartons.
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view of a blank 8 used to form a carton 190 having a pivotable spout dispenser 160 (illustrated in FIGS. 3A and 3B) according to a first embodiment of the invention.

  • An adhesive panel 50 may be foldably connected to the first side panel 10 at a fourth transverse fold line 51.
  • the first side panel 10 is foldably connected to a first side top flap 12 and a first side bottom flap 14.

  • the longitudinal fold lines 62, 64 may be straight fold lines, or may be offset at one or more locations to account for, for example, blank thickness.
  • a spout dispenser pattern 100 is formed in the blank 8.
  • the spout dispenser pattern 100 includes lines of disruption formed in the first side top flap 12, the first end top flap 22, and the second side top flap 32.

  • the lines 145, 149 are breachable lines of disruption that may be, for example, cut-space lines having 100% cuts or partial cuts. Cut-crease lines, for example, may also be used to form the lines 145, 149.
