Abstract:
A carton ( 90 ) for packaging a plurality of articles (C) includes a dispenser defined by a dispenser pattern ( 40 ) extending through the carton's first side panel ( 14 ), top panel ( 16 ), second side panel ( 18 ), and exiting end panel ( 12 ). The dispenser pattern defines a removable portion ( 92 ) that is separable along the dispenser pattern to form an opening into an interior of the carton. The dispenser pattern includes first ( 60 ) and second ( 62 ) end tear lines formed in respective first ( 32 ) and second ( 36 ) side exiting end flaps. Each of the first and second end tear lines includes a lower ( 56,57 ) end section. The two lower end sections of these end tear lines diverge away from each other toward a bottom panel of the carton and define therebetween a bottom end section of the removable portion.

Claim (Index 1):
A blank for forming a carton for containing a plurality of articles, the blank comprising:\n a plurality of main panels hinged together in a linear series, the plurality of main panels configured to form a tubular structure in a set-up carton, the plurality of main panels comprising a bottom panel, a first side panel, a top panel, and a second side panel; a plurality of exiting end flaps configured to form a front panel in the set-up carton, the front panel being configured to close a front end of the tubular structure, the plurality of exiting end flaps comprising a first side exiting end flap hingedly connected to said first side panel along a first marginal area of the blank and a second side exiting end flap hingedly connected to said second side panel along said first marginal area of the blank; a dispenser pattern extending through the top panel, the first side panel, the second side panel, and the front panel, the dispenser pattern defining, in the set-up carton, a removable portion that is separable along said dispenser pattern to form an opening into an interior of the set-up carton, wherein the dispenser pattern comprises a first end tear line formed in the first side exiting end flap and a second end tear line formed in the second side exiting end flap, the first end tear line comprising a first lower end section and the second end tear line comprising a second lower end section, wherein, in the set-up carton, said first and second lower end sections diverge away from each other toward the bottom panel to define therebetween a bottom end section of the removable portion.
