Abstract: A composite package comprising a paperboard container and a preformed receptacle positioned within the container. The receptacle includes vertical front, rear, first and second side walls, and a top wall extending across the vertical walls. A pouring spout and a handle are formed on the top wall, the pouring spout being adjacent the front wall and the handle extending between the pouring spout and the rear wall. The paperboard container includes front, rear and first and second side walls adjacent the front, rear and first and second side walls of the receptacle respectively. Each wall of the paperboard container has two end-portions separated by a mid-portion. The paperboard container also includes a top flap assembly having first and second side flaps connected to and folded substantially perpendicular to the first and second side walls, two front flaps, each front flap connected to an end-portion of the front wall, and two rear flaps, each rear flap connected to an end-portion of the rear wall.

Abstract: Apparatus for slicing tobacco bales comprising a plurality of parallel sharp prongs or lances (1) which can be moved to penetrate the bale (7) in a horizontal plane while the bale is supported on a lift device (14). A retractable pusher (9) is arranged to be movable parallel to the prongs so as to separate the slice from them after cutting and has downwardly dependent sharpened teeth (10) attached to its lower edge so as to extend between the prongs.

Abstract: A movable console unit for dispensing drugs or other selected articles while retaining other carried articles therein. The device includes downwardly and forwardly directed ramps for loading the articles and delivery of the articles. A number of the ramps are arranged in vertical relation to one another and a selector belt is provided for each of the sets of ramps. The selector belt is selectably movable about the entire ramp structure and is provided with two openings which are maintained in alignment with the rear and forward end of one of the ramps such that articles may be loaded into or delivered from one such ramp in each vertical set. A stop mechanism is provided to extend across the front portions of the ramps and this stop mechanism permits discharge of one article from the ramp with which the opening of the selector belt is aligned.
