Abstract
In combination, a carton housing at least one row of cylindrical articles stacked on their sides one on top of the other, an end of said carton having a lower section capable of forming a discharge opening that allows for lengthwise removal of a cylindrical article, and a member slidably insertable through said opening under the lowermost row of said cylindrical articles, said member having a curved lip at one end for retaining a cylindrical article on discharge, an upwardly projecting first ridge at the other end extending substantially the width of said member and an upwardly projecting second ridge positioned a distance from the curved lip that is slightly larger than the diameter of said cylindrical article and extending substantially the width of said member.

In combination, a carton housing multiple rows of cylindrical articles stacked on their sides one on top of the other, an end of said carton having a lower section capable of forming a discharge opening that allows for lengthwise removal of a cylindrical article, and a substantially planar member slidably insertable through said opening under the lowermost row of said cylindrical articles and outwardly pullable to discharge a cylindrical article, said member having a curved lip at one end for retaining a cylindrical article on discharge, an upwardly projecting first ridge at the other end extending substantially the width of said member and when said member is fully inserted said first ridge is positioned beyond the furthest article in the lowermost row and an upwardly projecting second ridge positioned a distance from the curved lip that is slightly larger than the diameter of said cylindrical article and extending substantially the width of said member.
