US 4,346,830 A · Dispenser carton

Abstract

A dispenser carton for dispensing sheet material, e.g., household wrap type sheet material. A unique structure at one corner of the carton permits tearing off a length of the sheet material after that length has been withdrawn from a roll inside the carton. The carton corner is comprised of plural serrated cutting sections each of which is cut through at least one of the panels, and plural fold sections which cooperate to connect the carton's walls together at that corner, the serrated and fold sections alternating along the corner's length from one end to the other. The serrated sections are of a length and number to permit tearing of the sheet material to desired length on that carton corner, and the fold sections are of a length and number to provide structural rigidity to the carton at that corner during normal use of the tearing edge and carton so formed.
