  • Patent number: 5295608
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a carton for storing, dispensing, and displaying adhesives, caulks, sealants, and other articles in tube form. The carton has two apertures, an upper aperture and a lower aperture. The upper aperture is used for loading the articles into the carton. The lower aperture opens into a trough into which the articles are dispensed and displayed. The bottom wall of the carton is inclined causing the articles stored therein to roll towards the lower aperture and be dispensed into a trough. The carton does not use an internal shelf or other channel which would require space that would otherwise be useful for the storage of articles to be dispensed. The carton uses a trough notch to allow easy removal of the articles from the trough. Preferably, the carton has a notch in the lower portion of the front wall to allow easy access to the articles to be dispensed in order to free jammed or otherwise displaced articles.
