Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH0695972
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A cartonless recyclable package for protectively enclosing a product, such as photographic film, comprises a recyclable plastic container and mating cap with recyclably compatible plastic labels thereon bearing product information. One such label on the cap has readily tearable tab portions extending therefrom and tautly secured to the container, to tear apart when the cap is first removed. A second label, secured to the container and overlapping the tearable tab portions, includes inner and outer sheets separably adhered together. The outer sheet can be peeled back to reveal information on the interfacing surfaces of both sheets, and then re-adhered to the inner sheet. A third label, separably adhered to the first label on the cap, may be peeled away and re-adhered to some other surface for reference after the product has been removed. A thumb tab on the cap, to facilitate cap removal, is used also to orient the container and cap for appropriate placement of the labels, and to orient the resulting package in a cooperating displaying and dispensing device. That device comprises an upstanding, open-ended, transparent, tubular chute having a longitudinal slot extending down a rear side thereof and configured to receive the package through its open top end, with the thumb tab projecting rearwardly through the slot, thereby orienting the package labels to face forwardly in a desired display direction. The package is gravity-fed to the open bottom end, where it is supported and oriented for convenient removal.
