  • Patent number: 4412619
    Abstract: Reclosable carry-carton with integrated handle formed from a one piece carton blank of which the upright back top panel and the extension flap which is articulated from the distal end of the outer top panel coincide with each other when the carton is erected and closed and which both present a hand hold cut-out in registry with one another which form the carrying means. A tear strip located above the score line attaching the extension flap to the outer top flap and underneath the cut-out and extending over the whole width of the extension flap allows opening of the carton. The portion of the extension flap underneath the tear strip which is freed once the tear strip is removed allows easy opening by pulling of the top of the carton and can be folded over and tucked inside the carton when it has to be reclosed.
