Display and dispensing carton structure and blank therefor

摘要

A novel display and dispensing carton and carton blank from which the same may be erected are disclosed. The display and dispensing carton is characterized by an arrangement of panels and securing means which allows the cartons to be readily erected from blanks, e.g., paperboard blanks, at the point of display, has side panels which slope rearwardly from the top edge of a front panel to a front edge of a top panel thereby to provide a diagonally-constituted display and dispensing opening, and is moreover characterized by the presence of an improved resiliently-biased follower adapted serially to urge merchandise placed in said carton toward the display and dispensing opening for display and ready removal thereof, the resilient bias being provided by a coil spring having parallel circular front and rear end convolutions located between the rear panel of the carton and the follower and having its front end convolution secured to the follower and its rear end convolution secured to the rear panel of the carton, preferably by a novel arrangement of substantially parallel slits in the rear panel adapted to receive the rear convolution of said coil spring.
