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 carton for holding several cigarette packs is made so that it generally resembles and functions like a conventional hinge lid cigarette pack. The carton is made from an integral blank including innerframe panels and outer member panels, all arranged in a single side by side series. When the blank is folded to make the carton, the innerframe panels are positioned inside the appropriate outer member panels. The blank also includes top and bottom tuck flap panels which can be closed in order to close the carton after the innerframe panels have been folded inside the outer member panels as described above. A particularly preferred method of making up the carton is shown. The consumer opens the carton by pivoting an upper portion of the outer member up and to the rear just as with a conventional hinge lid cigarette box. The innerframe interferes somewhat with this lid motion, thereby helping to keep the lid closed as in a conventional hinge lid cigarette box.

Abstract: An improved flip-top recloseable carton is provided in the form of a six-sided parallelopiped enclosure having opposing top and bottom walls, front and back walls, and side walls formed from corresponding panels and flaps defined on a unitary, continuous paperboard blank. The outer layers of the side walls and the front wall are provided with horizontal tear-strip sections which define an integral and continuous tear strip that functions as convenient means for opening the carton from its sealed from. Repeated closing and positive locking of the carton is realized by means of a die-cut portion on the interior surface of the front wall which includes a proximal flap and an island portion dispersed in forcibly displaceable mutual engagement. Once the engaging flap and island are disengaged forcibly by opening the carton top, reclosing thereof leads to snap re-engagement of the flap and island elements accompanied by positive tactile and audible feedback indicative of effective carton closure.
