WIPO Patent Application WO/2005/108218
Kind Code:
A2
Abstract:
A carton having a dispensing feature adapted for permitting the removal of articles (A) from within the carton. Top and bottom opposed walls (24, 18) are interconnected by a pair of side walls (20, 22) to form a tubular body. An article dispenser is provided by a removable portion (90) for defining an opening in the carton for exposing articles for removal. The removable portion (90) is at least partially defined by a frangible line (92) extending across each side wall (20, 22) to opposite side edges (32, 34) of the bottom wall (18). A portion (92d) of the frangible line extends at least partially along the adjacent end edge of the bottom wall and then extends to the opposite side edges of the bottom wall. A buttress arrangement (62b, 66b) for enhancing the stacking strength of the carton is formed from the distal portion of at least one side end flap (62, 66).
