  • Patent number: 4805765
    Abstract: A counter display package for dispensing small articles comprises a generally rectangular carton containing a drawer which forms a bottom portion of the carton. A tear-away panel in the front wall of the carton is removed to expose a drawer opening through which the drawer is pulled from a closed to an open position. A chute wall hingedly connected to the drawer extends a substantial distance above the drawer and is disposed within the carton and generally adjacent the rear wall of the carton when the drawer is closed. The chute panel is retained in the latter position by loosely packed small articles contained within the carton. When the drawer is opened the chute panel assumes a position wherein it is forwardly and downwardly inclined from the carton rear wall to the drawer. The inclined chute wall cooperates with portions of the carton front and side walls to form a hopper for directing small articles from the upper portion of the carton into the drawer.
