    摘要: A blank for forming a container includes a bottom panel, end panels, and side panels. A first divider panel assembly is defined within the bottom panel and an end panel and includes an upper panel defined within the end panel and an inner panel defined within the bottom panel. The upper panel is configured to be at an angle to the end panel, and the inner panel is configured to be at an angle to the bottom panel in an erected configuration. Second and third divider panel assemblies are defined within the bottom panel and a side panel. The second and third divider panel assemblies include an upper panel defined within the side panel and an inner panel defined within the bottom panel. The panels of the second and third divider panel assemblies are configured similarly to the panels of the first divider panel assembly in the erected configuration.

    摘要: A convertible carrier includes first and second carrier units (101A, 101B). The first carrier unit includes a first side panel (114A) and a first medial panel (110A) disposed opposed to the first side panel. The second carrier unit includes a second side panel (114B) and a second medial panel (110B) disposed opposed to the second side panel. The first and second medial panels are in a face-contacting arrangement to form a medial wall disposed between the first and second side panels. The first and second medial panels are retained in the face-contacting arrangement by at least one hinged connection (149, 161) between the first and second medial panels and by at least one removable joint. The removable joint is formed in part from part (162A) of the first medial panel and in part (162B) from part of the second medial panel.

    摘要: Carton (90) containing a plurality of containers (C) includes a dispenser defined by a dispenser (80) pattern (40) extending through the carton's first side panel (14), top panel (16), second side panel (18), and exiting end panel (84). The dispenser (80) is at least partially separable along the dispenser pattern (40) to form an opening into an interior of the carton (90). The dispenser pattern (40) includes first and second tear lines (51, 52) on first and second side exiting end flaps (32, 36) that extend downwardly toward one another from opposite sides of the exiting end panel. The first and second end dispenser patterns do not extend completely across respective first and second side exiting end flaps but stop short of an outer edge of respective first and second side exiting end flaps.

    摘要: A locking device for a carton includes a first part (F) defined in a first panel (12) and a second part (M) defined in a second panel (14). The first part includes a female tab (22) struck from the first panel and foldably coupled thereto. The second part includes a male tab (20) struck from the second panel and foldably coupled thereto. The male tab is hinged to the second panel by a first non-linear fold line (24) and is receivable in an aperture created by folding the female tab out of the plane of the first panel so as to secure the first and second panels together. The male tab includes at least one weakened line (28) for facilitating folding of the male tab about the first non-linear fold line (24). An edge (30) of the female tab braces against the male tab so as to maintain the male tab in a folded or locked configuration.
