Abstract: In a container such as a cardboard container for packaging milk which comprises sidewalls, a bottom flap and a top flap as well as an ear to be folded down around a folding edge for forming a pouring spout the problem is encountered that, for opening the container, an outer portion of the ear has to be cut away and, after opening the container, no reclosure is possible, but the pouring spout remains open and may be a source of pollution.In order to obviate this problem the ear of the inventive container comprises a socket member projecting from the ear at the surface thereof adjacent to the folding edge and facing a sidewall of the container, and there is an aperture provided in the facing sidewall for receiving the socket member. In this manner, the socket member forms a reclosable pouring spout of the container.

Abstract: A copying apparatus is disclosed in which an information derived from an external information source may be combined with an original to be copied. The imaging arrangement of the copying apparatus comprises an arrangement for blocking at least selected portions of the light path between the original and the image to be formed by the imaging optics. The light path blocking arrangement is preferably formed by an LCD-layer associated with the platen on which the original to be copied is laid, the LCD-element being placed under the control of the external information source.
