Abstract:
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.

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, wherein the dispenser pattern comprises a first end dispenser pattern formed in the first side exiting end flap and a second end dispenser pattern formed in the second side exiting end flap, wherein the first end dispenser pattern comprises a first end first tear line and the second end dispenser pattern comprises a second end first tear line, and wherein the first end first tear line and the second end first tear line are configured to extend downwardly toward each other from opposite sides of the front panel in the set-up carton, and wherein said 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, wherein the first end first tear line and second end first tear line are configured to define at least in part a lower edge of an at least partially removable dispenser in the set-up carton.
