## Claims

### Claim 1

A unitary blank of foldable sheet material, such as paperboard, for use in forming an integral display carton structure and a divider structure which are detachably secured to each other, said blank being cut and scored to provide:
(a) a carton structure including:
(i) a front side wall panel;
(ii) a pair of end wall panels foldably joined at corresponding inboard edges to adjacent outboard edge of said front wall panel;
(iii) a rear side wall panel foldably joined at an inboard edge to an adjacent outboard edge of one of said end wall panels;
(iv) bottom closure flaps foldably joined at corresponding inboard edges to adjacent outboard edges of at least certain of said side and end wall panels;
(b) a divider structure detachably secured to said carton structure and including:
(i) a pair of center panels foldably joined to each other along a fold line which extends in a direction parallel to fold lines interconnecting said side wall and end wall panels;
(ii) a pair of side panels foldably joined at corresponding inboard side edges to adjacent outboard edges of related center panels;
(iii) said side panels being detachably secured to respective end wall panels of said carton structure along spaced weakened lines of tear.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A blank according to claim 1, wherein at least one of said divider structure side panels has an additional working score line extending in a direction parallel to that of the last mentioned fold line and which serves to facilitate the gluing operation in the formation of the carton.
