Abstract: The carton has a hinged top with a depending flange in the front. A panel is folded up against the inside of the depending flange. The middle of the folded up panel has an arcurate nose and the edges are adhered to the depending flange, causing the nose to bulge out slightly from the depending flange. This nose engages a slot on the front panel of the carton to lock the top in place.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cardboard sales and dispenser box of a pocket carry-type and of a hinged hood or a cap-like lid type. The present invention provides an effective snap-locking mechanism for engaging laterally projecting ear portions on opposed side edges of a front panel portion of the dispensing boxes. The laterally projecting ear portions engage respective recesses on the inside of opposed lateral lid skirt portions. The recesses are spaced within the inner side of the front lid skirt, adjacent to the corners thereof, and the edges of the side flap portions of the lid panel are folded flat against the outer lateral lid skirt portions constructed by the side folded outer flap portions of the front lid skirt. Thus, the hinged lid is effectively snap-locked when the projecting ear portions are received in the recesses while the lid is closed.

Abstract: A sales and dispenser carton box having in its top panel a dispenser opening normally closed by an internal closing plate portion constituting an integral part of the blank from which the box is erected and being displaceable to open and close the opening, the closing plate being hinged to the free edge of an end panel portion of the box pivotally secured to the box along its opposite edge, and the closing plate being held slidingly against the inner side of the top panel by means of at least one side flap projecting from the side edge of the closing plate down along the respective side panel of the box so as to be slidingly supported by an elongated rigid portion of the box. The box may be designed so as to have a breakable seal.
