8 Claims.
This invention relates to a dispensing receptacle which is provided with a'folding or collapsible spout through which the contents of the receptacle may be poured.
One of the main objects of the invention is to provide a. receptacle of the character described which is formed from a single piece of material and which is provided with a cutout portion adapted to form a pouring spout, which spout is normally inoperative and disposed within the container.
A further object of the invention is to provide a dispensing container one wall of which is made up. of an inner flap having a restricted opening therein which forms a dam to restrict the flow of material through the pouring spout, the. adjacent walls of the container being provided with three additional flaps, one of which overlies the second flap and is provided with an opening adapted to receive the spout therethrough and a third flap having .a readily frangible portion adapted to be removed to provide access to the spout.
Another object of the invention is to provide a container of the character described which may be formed of paper or similar material and which is simple in construction and well adapted for production at a low cost.
Further and more limited objects of the invention will appear as the description proceeds and 40. ilar to Fig. 5. showing a third position of the flaps;
and Fig. '7 is a fragmentary horizontal sectional View on the line 1-1 of Fig. 1.
Referring now to the drawings, the reference character I designates generally a container which is preferably formed of paper or the like and which is made up of oppositely disposed side walls 2; and 3 and end walls 4 and 5. The wall 3 is provided with an extension 6 which is overlapped by the wall 5 and secured thereto by a 50. layer of glue or paste 1 applied to the extension 6. The walls 2, 3, 4 and 5 are provided at one end with extensions or flaps 2 3 4 and 5 respectively, which are folded over each other in overlapping relation to form the bottom of the container. The opposite end of the wall 5 is provided with a tab portion 8 having a cutout spout' forming portion 9 which has a central portion Ill which is scored along the lines II and I2. The reference character I3 designates a door which is scored or out along three sides thereof and which when moved inwardly provides a rectangu-- lar opening which intersects the cutout which forms the spout, the purpose of which will hereinafter appear.
The wall 2 is provided with a tab portion I 3 5 having a scored or cut portion l5 therein which is severed along three sides thereof to provide a cut-out which is readily removable. The wall i also provided with an extended tab portion l6 having a slot or groove ll therein which, when My the box is formed, is disposed opposite the pouring spout to provide a dam to restrict the flow of material through the spout. The wall 3; is also provided with a tab portion or flap l8 having an opening I9 therein. The opening i9 is of such 5 7 size as to extend over the spout $3 and door l3 when the box is formed.
Inassembling the container, the blank is folded: with the wall 5 overlapping the extension 6 which is held in place by the layer of glue or paste l. The flaps 2 3 4 and 5 are then bent inwardly to form the bottom of the container and glued in place. The inner flap i6 is then folded to the position shown in Fig. l. The flap 8 is then folded over the flap it as shown in Fig. 5. The 5, flap I8 is then folded over the flap 8. with the opening l9 disposed over the spout-forming portion 9. The outer flap M is then folded over the flap. l8 with the portion 55 overlying the spout forming portion. When these flapsv are folded in place as 30, described, a layer of paste or glue may be applied thereto as indicated by the stippling in Figs. 4,
5 and 6.
A label may be applied to the entire container if desired or suitable printing may be applied to 35. the blank.
When it is desired to'open the container, the portion 85 which is readily frangible may be turned back or removed. The door I3 is then accessible and may be pushed inwardly by means of the index finger to provide access to the delivery end of the spout and the spout may be pulled outwardly to the position shown in Fig. 2. It will be noted that due to the length and position of the flap E5, the groove or slot li'l' will be disposed immediately opposite the pouring opening and will serve to restrict the flow of material through the spout. When the spout is moved to the position shown in Fig. 2, the portions thereof which form the sides of the spoutengage the lower face of the innermost flap i6 and the spout is thereby held in pouring position. The spout may be readily returned to the position shown in Fig. 6 when the container is not in use. This. container has been designed particularly for use with granular material such as salt although it may be used for any kind of material which will readily pour.
It will now be clear that Ihave provided a dispensing container which will accomplish the objects of the invention as hereinbefore stated. It is to be understood that the embodiment of the invention herein disclosed is merely illustrative and is not to be considered in a limiting sense as various changes may be made in the details of construction and assembly without departing from the spirit of our invention. The invention is therefore limited only in accordance with the scope of the appended claims.
