Abstract
A folded carton having dispensing means, wherein said dispensing means comprises a displaceable slide which has two terminal positions, in the first of which it exposes a dispensing aperture and in the second, covers the dispensing aperture, the slide being connected to a link portion, the slide and link portion being displaceable between portions of the carton which are capable of elastic displacement in a direction transverse to the plane of the slide, the link portion being thereby displaceable through a dead-center position and firmly held in its terminal positions between said portions of the carton capable of elastic displacement.
Claims7
A folded carton having dispensing means, wherein said dispensing means comprises a displaceable slide which has two terminal positions, the first exposing a dispensing aperture and the second closing the dispensing aperture, the slide being connected by a first fold to a link portion, the link portion being connected by a second fold to a wall portion of the carton which is non-displaceable in a direction parallel to the plane of the slide, the link being disposed for rotating displacement about said first and second folds and being sandwiched between portions of the carton which are capable of elastic displacement in a direction transverse to the plane of the slide, said portions of the carton being elastically spread upon rotating displacement of said link occurring during shifting of said slide from one of its terminal positions into the other, the link passing thereby through unstable intermediate positions, and said slide being firmly held in each of its terminal positions by the resilient force of said portions capable of elastic displacement.
A carton having a glued body and ends formed by glued flaps and dispensing means, wherein said dispensing means comprises a displaceable slide which has two terminal positions, the first exposing a dispensing aperture and the second covering the dispensing aperture, said slide lying parallel with one side wall of the casing, two flaps folded one upon the other and glued together at selected points, said points at which the two flaps are glued also forming glueing points for the body of the carton, the slide being cut out of the outermost flap and being connected along one edge to an adjoining wall portion forming part of the body, the slide being also connected along an opposite edge by a first fold to a link portion, the link portion being connected by a second fold to the innermost flap, said slide being disposed between said innermost flap and said one side wall of said casing, movement of said slide causing elastic displacement of said innermost flap away from said one side wall in a direction transverse to the plane of the slide by the rotational displacement of said link whereby said slide may be maintained in each of its terminal positions.
