Claims18
A carton for packaging articles comprising a first plurality of walls including a top wall, base wall, first side wall and second side wall forming a first tubular structure, each end of the first tubular structure being at least partially closed by at least a first end closure panel and a second end closure panel, wherein the carton comprises an end pull device for withdrawing the carton from a display apparatus wherein the end pull device comprises a first recess defined at an end of the first side wall panel so as to facilitate access to an edge of the second end closure panel at an adjacent end of the first tubular structure, wherein the first end closure panel comprises a second recess defined along an edge thereof, wherein the second end closure panel is hinged to the end of the first side wall panel, and a third recess is struck from the second end closure panel, the first recess and the third recess together forming an aperture which interrupts a hinged connection between the second end closure panel and the first side wall panel.
A carton for packaging articles comprising a first plurality of walls including a top wall, base wall, first side wall and second side wall forming a first tubular structure, each end of the first tubular structure being at least partially closed by at least a first end closure panel and a second end closure panel to form a first package, wherein the carton further comprises a first end pull device for withdrawing the first package from a display apparatus, wherein the first end pull device comprises a first recess defined at an end of the first side wall panel of the first tubular structure to facilitate access to an edge of the second end closure panel at an adjacent end of the first tubular structure, wherein the first end closure panel comprises a second recess defined along an edge thereof, wherein the second end closure panel is hinged to the end of the first side wall, and a third recess is struck from the second end closure panel, the first recess and the third recess together forming an aperture which interrupts a hinged connection between the second end closure panel and the first side wall, the carton further comprising a second plurality of walls including a top wall, base wall, first side wall and second side wall forming a second tubular structure, each end of the second tubular structure being at least partially closed by one or more end closure panels to form a second package, wherein the carton further comprises a second end pull device for withdrawing the second package from a display apparatus, wherein the second end pull device comprises a second recess defined at an end of the first side wall of the second tubular structure to facilitate access to an edge of the one or more end closure panels at an adjacent end of the second tubular structure, and wherein the first package is frangibly connected to the second package.
A blank for forming a carton comprising a first plurality of panels for forming a first tubular structure including a top wall, base wall, first side wall and second side wall in a set-up condition, the blank comprising at least a first end closure panel and a second end closure panel for at least partially closing each end of the first tubular structure, wherein the blank further comprises an end pull device for withdrawing a set-up carton from a display apparatus wherein the end pull device comprises a first recess defined at an end of the first side wall panel to facilitate access to an edge of the second end closure panel at an adjacent end of the first tubular structure, wherein the first end closure panel comprises a second recess defined along an edge thereof, wherein the second end closure panel is hinged to the end of the first side wall panel, and a third recess is struck from the second end closure panel, the first recess and the third recess together forming an aperture which interrupts a hinged connection between the second end closure panel and the first side wall panel.
