Abstract
A seal-end package or box for dispensing a solid pourable product includes folding major side panels foldably connected together extending laterally, and formed into a tube around a central axis. Further extending laterally is an overlapping panel similarly folded over and conforming to the tube. A slide is connected to the major side panels, with the overlapping panel having a cover panel with an opening. The slide obstructs the opening, until a thumb tab on the slide engaged by a user and moved laterally relative the axis un-obstructs the opening allowing dispensing of the product.
Claims15
A package for dispensing a solid pourable product, the package comprising:
- foldably connected side panels having an opening therein and formed into a tube about an axis;
- a first overlapping panel connected to the side panels, a second overlapping panel connected to the first overlapping panel, such that the first overlapping panel and the second overlapping panel conform to the tube;
- a slide connected to the side panels;
- a cover panel having a cover panel opening and foldably connected to the second overlapping panel transverse to the axis, the cover panel overlying the slide;
- the cover panel opening aligned with the side panels opening;
- and
- the slide obstructing the cover panel opening and the side panel opening, wherein moving the slide lateral to the axis un-obstructs the cover panel opening and the side panel opening allowing the solid pourable product egress from the package.
A box for dispensing a solid pourable product, the box comprising:
- major panels connected together extending laterally and folded into a square-shaped tube about a central axis;
- an overlapping panel connected to the four major panels and similarly extending laterally and folded to overlay and conform to the square-shaped tube;
- a slide connected to the major panels adjacent the overlapping panel;
- a cover panel further extending laterally from the four major panels, the cover panel having an opening overlying the slide;
- and
- the slide obstructing the cover panel opening, wherein moving the slide un-obstructs the cover panel opening allowing the solid pourable product egress from the box.
