Abstract
Abstract The one-piece carton blank has the usual side-face-side-face order of panels with a securing panel attached to the outward edge of one of the side panels by a hinge crease. Secured along a line of severance to the outward edge of the securing panel is a coupon panel, a hinged portion of which projects upwardly beyond the upper ends of the principal panels. In the erected panel, the securing panel in one embodiment is of the same width as the remote side panel and is glued thereto, whereby the main portion of the coupon panel lies flat against the remote face panel. In another embodiment the securing panel is turned back medially, one-half being glued to a portion of the side panel, the coupon lying against the near face panel. The projecting portion of the coupon panel is adapted to be folded into the top closure structure between the closure flaps of the two side panels and the closure flap of that face panel against which the main portion of the coupon panel lies.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
106 words
A one-piece carton comprising main bounding panels connected successively by fold lines, alternate panels being parallel and comprising opposite walls of the carton, a securing panel extending from an end one of said main panels and means for attaching adhesively attaching an outward surface of said securing panel in face-to-face relationship to the inward surface of the opposite end one of said main panels, and a coupon pAnel comprising a detachable extension of said securing panel and for this purpose being joined thereto by a readily severable fold lines whereby said coupon is contained within said carton but may be readily severed therefrom along said edges.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
106 words
A one-piece carton comprising main bounding panels connected successively by fold lines, alternate panels being parallel and comprising opposite walls of the carton, a securing panel extending from an end one of said main panels and means for attaching adhesively attaching an outward surface of said securing panel in face-to-face relationship to the inward surface of the opposite end one of said main panels, and a coupon pAnel comprising a detachable extension of said securing panel and for this purpose being joined thereto by a readily severable fold lines whereby said coupon is contained within said carton but may be readily severed therefrom along said edges.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
62 words
The carton as set forth in claim 1 in which said securing panel is of the full width of the main panel to which it is secured, the coupon being attached to the remote edge of the securing panel and therefore disposed to lie, at least in part, against the inner surface of the third main panel away from the securing panel.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
87 words
The carton as set forth in claim 1 in which said securing panel is not more than twice the width of the main panel to which it is secured, said securing panel being folded in half and return-bent to bring its remote edge, to which the coupon is detachably connected, in juxtaposition to its edge which is attached to said first named end panel, and thus to dispose said coupon to lie, at least in part, against the inner surface of the said first-named end main panel.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
75 words
The carton as set forth in claim 1 in which a top closure flap forming part of the coupon is hingedly attached to one of the main panels and said coupon is of such a length as causes a portion of it to project beyond the top edges of said main panels, and the projecting portion of the coupon is folded over and enclosed and concealed by said top flap when the carton is closed.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
125 words
The carton as set forth in claim 2 in which a top closure flap forming part of the one piece structure is hingedly attached to the upper edge of said third main panel and said coupon is of a length which causes a portion of it to project beyond the top edges of said main panels, and the projecting portion of said coupon is folded over and enclosed and concealed by said top flap when the carton is closed, the coupon thus lying against the inner surfaces of both said third main panel and said main flap, the projecting portion of the coupon affording means, when the flap is opened, to grasp with the fingers to sever the coupon and withdraw it from the carton.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
98 words
The carton as set forth in claim 3 in which a top closure flap forming part of the one-piece structure is hingedly attached to the upper edge of said first named end main panel and said coupon is of a length which causes a portion of it to project beyond the top edges of said main panels, and the projecting portion of said coupon is folded over and enclosed and concealed by said top flap when the carton is closed, the coupon thus lying against the inner surface of both said first-named end main panel and said flap.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
78 words
The carton as set forth in claim 4 in which top closure flaps are also provided at the upper edges of the two main panels upon each side of said main panel to which first named closure flap is connected, the second-named top closure flaps adapted to be closed first and then the coupon folded and the first-named closure flap closed, thus enclosing the projecting portion of said coupon in laminar disposition between the first- and second-named flaps.
