Abstract: A container including walls that define a container body having a front end opposed from a rear end along a longitudinal axis, the container body defining an internal volume and including a first tear-away portion proximate the front end, wherein the first tear-away portion is removable from the container body to form an access opening, and a second tear-away portion connected to the first tear-away portion, wherein the second tear-away portion is removable from the container body to extend the access opening toward the rear end when the first tear-away portion is removed from the container body.

Abstract: A product dispensing system including a dispenser having a housing that defines an internal volume and a product display area, and a support deck received in the internal volume, the support deck including a front end and a rear end, wherein the front end extends toward the product display area, and wherein the rear end is elevated relative to the front end, a container received in the internal volume and supported on the support deck, the container defining an access opening, wherein the support deck directs the container toward the front end such that the access opening is aligned with the product display area, and a plurality of products initially housed in the container.

Abstract: A product dispensing system including a frame structure having a front end and a rear end, the frame structure including an upper support deck extending between the front and rear ends, a lower support deck positioned below the upper support deck, the lower support deck extending between the front and rear ends and defining a first product display area, and an intermediate support deck positioned between the upper support deck and the lower support deck, the intermediate support deck extending between the front and rear ends and defining a second product display area, wherein the upper support deck and the intermediate support deck define a vertical drop zone proximate the rear end, the vertical drop zone extending from the upper support deck to the lower support deck, and a guide positioned between the upper support deck and the intermediate support deck, the guide extending into the vertical drop zone.

Abstract: A product dispensing system including a dispenser having an upper support deck that defines a deck opening and a lower support deck that defines a product display area, a container positioned on the upper support deck, the container including first and second walls that define an internal volume, wherein the first wall defines an opening having a longitudinal length that is aligned with the deck opening, and wherein the second wall includes a lower portion proximate the container opening, and a plurality of products initially housed in the internal volume, wherein the dispenser is spaced from the lower portion of the second wall such that the lower portion bows outward and increases the longitudinal length when a product engages the lower portion as it exits the container through the container opening.

Abstract: A product dispensing frame having a front end and a rear end, and including an upper support deck extending between the front end and the rear end, a lower support deck positioned below the upper support deck, the lower support deck extending between the front end and the rear end and defining a first product display area, and an intermediate support deck positioned between the upper support deck and the lower support deck, the intermediate support deck extending between the front end and the rear end and defining a second product display area.

Abstract: A product dispensing system including a container defining an internal volume and an opening into the internal volume, the container including a weakening feature, the opening and the weakening feature defining an access panel, and a dispenser including a frame having longitudinally opposed first and second ends, and including a support deck and a product display area, the support deck extending at least partially between the first and second ends, the product display area being positioned below the support deck, and a catch element connected to the frame proximate the first end, the catch element protruding away from the second end such that the catch element engages the opening in the container and at least partially separates the access panel from the container as the container longitudinally moves along the support deck from the first end toward the second end.

Abstract: Disclosed is a paperboard container with a top and bottom panel (10, 14), each having side panels (18, 20) that extend the length of either side are folded over and separated by an end panel to form an open ended substantially rectangular box having an interior chamber. A locking apparatus made from plastic is affixed to the top panel. The locking apparatus (32) includes a pair of spaced apart stop pieces (36) and an angled locking post (34). A guide apparatus (38) made from a molded plastic is affixed to the bottom panel. The guide apparatus includes a pair of spaced apart ramps (40). The locking apparatus (32) and the guide apparatus (38) are oriented within the chamber in such a manner as to cooperate to receive and retain at least one substantially flat insert having a cut out area (54) adapted to fit over the angled locking post.

Abstract: A lockable container includes a sleeve, a locking assembly, and a slideable platform. The slideable platform can be stored in the sleeve. The locking assembly and the slideable platform can each have one or more of an engaging mechanism and a receiving mechanism, with reciprocal engaging mechanisms and/or receiving mechanisms being included at the other element. A release button can be included in the locking assembly to disengage the engaging mechanism from the receiving mechanism.
