Abstract: A display carton for an elongated bottle which is equal in length to the display carton, but which bottle is of smaller width than the width of the carton is characterized by top and bottom support structures located within the carton for engaging the opposite ends of the elongated bottle for preventing its lateral shifting within the carton. Each support structure includes a first flap hingedly connected to the back panel and lying within and adjacent to the closure flap of the carton, and a second flap hingedly connected to the first flap and oriented at an angle with respect to the inside plane of the front panel. The second flap is of greater length than the first flap and has a central opening corresponding in configuration to the respective end of the bottle, and thereby serves to restrain the bottle from lateral movement within the carton.

Abstract: A blank for forming a self-erecting soap scoop includes a front panel, a back panel, a glue flap and a pair of side panels which are hingedly connected to each other to form the upstanding walls of the soap scoop. The blank further includes a plurality of closure flaps and pull down flaps hingedly connected to the wall forming panels for forming an automatically flattened base portion. Each of a pair of opposed closure flaps includes an elongated locking tab having a camming surface which terminates in a locking notch. In addition, each of the respective panels which is connected to a tab bearing closure flap includes a locking tab receiving slot. When the soap scoop is erected the locking tabs emanate from opposed upstanding panels and the tab receiving slots are diagonally opposed to one another. When the scoop is squared and the base flattened, the camming surfaces of the opposed locking tabs engage each other until the locking notch of each engages.

Abstract: A self-contained baking tray carton is made of a one-piece carton blank of a board material having a coating or film lamination to withstand baking temperatures. The carton is adapted to initially function as a container for food contents, and may be opened via a perforated top panel to expose the contents. The container includes outwardly pivotable side panels having flaps slidably received in the end panels of the carton. After the perforated top panel is removed, the side panels may be outwardly pivoted to increase the size in volume of the container thereby enabling the container to be employed as a baking tray.

Abstract: A carton made of paperboard designed to contain and display round cylindrical articles and hold them in angular position to prevent slippage and rotation which would move the front of the cylindrical article out of registration with the display opening in the front of the carton. The invention may be in the form of a single blank which is folded to form a carton or a two piece blank and insert which folds the cylindrical article against an area covered with a substance such as hot melt adhesive or expanded polymer coating which is soft and provides a friction surface in contact with the cylindrical article.

Abstract: A shadow display carton and blank for making same with top and bottom portions of a front panel in position to frame the article to be displayed, and die cut folded sections at the top and bottom of the carton to support and restrain the article away from the end panels of the carton.

Abstract: A double thickness improved carton suspension including a die-cut hinged section formed in a panel of the carton with a flap hingedly attached along one edge of the carton having a die-cut tab connected along its outer edge so that when the flap is folded underneath and in overlapping relationship with the carton panel the tab and the die-cut section may be moved together into an upright position normal to the plane of the carton panel so that the carton may be suspended through the use of two cooperating apertures in both the tab and the die-cut section.

Abstract: A tape cassette hub retainer which may be used with different types of cartons, and which is adapted to engage and restrain the hubs of the cassette from movement during shipment. Small die cut flaps are located in a base panel directly beneath the cassette hubs and are foldable upwardly into a post configuration to engage the internal teeth in the hub of the cassette reels. An overlying support panel is provided having an opening through which the small flaps extend and which has a pair of side restraining flaps to hold the flaps from the base panel in upright position. In an alternate form, the overlying support panel is omitted.

Abstract: A display carton and blank for making same which is particularly useful in displaying small rigid tubes where both ends of the tube are engaged by the carton, including a shadow panel arrangement having at one end thereof a three-panel tube engaging arrangement wherein a center panel supports and engages the bottom of the cap and two small triangular panels engage the edges of the bottom of the tube to hold it in position along with the shadow panels.

Abstract: A combined packer and display carton comprises a multi-sided tuck end carton having a bottom closure and a tuck flap hinged to the top of the front panel. The tuck flap is connected to the adjoining side walls by triangular tabs including diagonally extending fold lines to web connect the side walls to the top panel. A weakened line of separation extends from the center of the side walls and across the front panel. When separated along this weakened line, and removing the carton contents, the upper portion above the weakened line of separation can be folded back to line the inner surfaces of the side walls and rear wall with a printed display surface to provide a display when the carton contents are replaced.

Abstract: Paperboard dispensing carton adapted for use with a stacked or nested array of paper cups or the like which includes a rectangular tube with closures at both ends surrounding the cups and a removable tear strip opener at the bottom of the carton removable to expose the bottom of the stack of cups, and means on the inside of the carton near the bottom to frictionally engage the lip of the cups so that they will remain in the carton and be removable singly by hand.

Abstract: A display carton for deformable dispensing tubes in which the tube is oriented with the cap down in an opening formed in the front of the carton, with an inwardly folded flap at the bottom thereof on which the tube cap rests. The crimped base of the tube is held in position between opposed sections of the front of the carton above the opening, the opposed sections formed by a line cut and separated to exert a shearing force on the crimped end of the tube. Also disclosed is a locking flap positioned to restrain the crimped end of the tube from moving inward by holding the tube in position in the carton.

Abstract: A tape cassette hub retainer which may be used with different types of cartons, and which is adapted to engage and restrain the hubs of the cassette from movement during shipment. Small die cut flaps are located in a base panel directly beneath the cassette hubs and are foldable upwardly into a post configuration to engage the internal teeth in the hub of the cassette reels. An overlying support panel is provided having an opening through which the small flaps extend and which has a pair of side restraining flaps to hold the flaps from the base panel in upright position. In an alternate form, the overlying support panel is omitted.

Abstract: An improved cushioning structure for a rectangular paperboard carton adapted to hold fragile particles such as an electronic vacuum tube, and blank for making same, wherein a cushioning section is provided which extends substantially the entire length of the carton and has three transverse cuts therein extending partially therethrough which define an upper, middle and lower web members as well as a tube support member which are defined by staggered fold lines which allow the cushioning section to be folded and extend between opposite walls of the carton on either side of those two opposite panels to receive and cushion the article. The tube support member extends across the middle of the carton to position the tube vertically within the carton.
