  • Patent number: 5205480
    Abstract: A recloseable pouring spout structure for a wall of a product dispensing carton has a first wall panel connected to the carton at a first fold line. The first wall panel has a first aperture. There is a second wall panel connected to the carton at a second fold line generally parallel and opposite to the first fold line. The second wall panel lies interior to the first wall panel and has an opener tab therein defined by a leader edge that is generally parallel to the second fold line, a hinge line generally parallel to the leader edge and a pair of generally parallel opposed side edges extending between the hinge line and the leader edge. At least one locking tab is present on one of the side edges intermediate the leader edge and the hinge line. The locking tab extends in a direction generally perpendicular to the extension direction of the leader tab and is positioned to underlie and engage an edge of the first aperture when the locking tab is in the plane of the second wall panel.
