Claim 1
Independent Claim
216 words
A composite dispensing carton comprising an outer sleeve member and an inner member mounted within said outer member for sliding movement between extended and retracted positions; said outer member including front and back panels, side panels interconnecting same, and closure flaps foldably connected to said panels, said closure flaps overlapping one another to form a bottom for said outer member, one of said closure flaps being exposed to the interior of said outer member and being provided with an inwardly extending foldable tab; said inner member including a base panel engaging the interior surface of said outer member back panel, side flanges connected to opposite sides of said base panel and engaging the interior surfaces of said outer member side panels, an end flange disposed intermediate of and separated from said side flanges and foldably connected to said base panel, said end flange being connected to the tab of said outer member whereby the extended position of said inner member relative to said outer member is limited by the connection between said end flange and said tab; and cover means connected to said base panel and disposed opposite said end flange for closing the end of said inner member and the upper end of the outer member when said inner member is in the retracted position.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
216 words
A composite dispensing carton comprising an outer sleeve member and an inner member mounted within said outer member for sliding movement between extended and retracted positions; said outer member including front and back panels, side panels interconnecting same, and closure flaps foldably connected to said panels, said closure flaps overlapping one another to form a bottom for said outer member, one of said closure flaps being exposed to the interior of said outer member and being provided with an inwardly extending foldable tab; said inner member including a base panel engaging the interior surface of said outer member back panel, side flanges connected to opposite sides of said base panel and engaging the interior surfaces of said outer member side panels, an end flange disposed intermediate of and separated from said side flanges and foldably connected to said base panel, said end flange being connected to the tab of said outer member whereby the extended position of said inner member relative to said outer member is limited by the connection between said end flange and said tab; and cover means connected to said base panel and disposed opposite said end flange for closing the end of said inner member and the upper end of the outer member when said inner member is in the retracted position.
Claim 3
