Abstract
The invention relates to a boxlike package to be produced by folding and adhesion, which package comprises a dispensing opening provision (8) which is provided at the location of a corner point (7) of the package. The dispensing opening provision (8) is dust-tightly reclosable and is so designed that no wall portions or like obstacles are situated in the dispensing path. The dispensing opening provision comprises an anti push-through panel (14) with anti push-through portions (14a) which prevent the parts (9, 12) which close off the dispensing opening from being pushed into the box interior during the reclosure of the dispensing opening provision (8). The boxlike package may further comprise a look edge (15) which prevents the dispensing opening from being opened unintentionally by shaking or shocks.

- wherein, in the reclosed condition of the dispensing opening provision, the first and the fourth segment are situated in a plane which also contains said top wall, while the second and the third segment are in abutment, the top wall comprising an anti push-through panel proximal to the interior, the anti push-through panel partly reducing the dispensing opening through anti push-through portions, so that the first and the fourth segment cannot be pushed into the interior during reclosure of the dispensing opening, wherein the first through the fourth segment are designed as sectors of a circle, each sector having two straight sector edges through the corner point and an arc-shaped edge remote from the corner point, each sector including an angle of substantially 45.degree., a straight sector edge of the first and fourth segment, respectively, coinciding with the first and second upper edge, respectively, and, in the opened condition of the dispensing opening provision, a straight sector edge common to the second and third segments being situated in alignment with the side corner edge, wherein a lock edge is formed in that the radius of the second segment, at least throughout a part of the arc-shaped edge thereof, is a fraction smaller than radii of the arc-shaped edges of the other segments.
A package which is produced from a single blank through folding and adhesion, in which a first side panel and second side panel adjoin each other through a side corner edge, the first and second side panels each adjoining a top wall by a first and a second upper edge, respectively, said first and second upper edges and the side corner edge intersecting in a corner point, the package having an interior, wherein a reclosable dispensing opening provision is provided at the corner point, the dispensing opening provision having an unopened conditioned, an opened condition, and a reclosed condition, the dispensing opening provision comprising two spout surfaces which comprise a first and a second, and a third and a fourth segment, wherein, in the unopened condition of the dispensing opening provision, the first and the second segment form part of the top wall and are connected therewith via separation lines, while the third and the fourth segment are situated proximal to the interior;
- wherein, for forming a dispensing opening in the top wall and thereby placing the dispensing opening provision in the opened condition, the separation lines are breakable, so that the first and the second segment can be swung clear of the top wall and situated in a plane which also contains the first side panel, while the third and the fourth segment are situated in a plane which contains the second side panel;
- wherein, in the reclosed condition of the dispensing opening provision, the first and the fourth segment are situated in a plane which also contains said top wall, while the second and the third segment are in abutment, the top wall comprising an anti push-through panel proximal to the interior, the anti push-through panel partly reducing the dispensing opening through anti push-through portions, so that the first and the fourth segment cannot be pushed into the interior during reclosure of the dispensing opening, wherein the second side panel comprises an adhesive strip which is adhered against a side of a sidewall proximal to the interior, the sidewall having a nail hole recess which facilitates gripping of the second and third segments in the unopened condition.
