Patent attributes
A package includes an article group formed of cylindrical articles disposed on their sides in a side-by-side parallel fashion, and a carton disposed around the group. The carton includes a top wall, opposed side walls, end walls and an article dispenser. The side walls are disposed alongside the ends of the articles while one end wall is disposed adjacent to the side wall of an endmost article. The dispenser is formed from the end and top walls and includes at least one retaining panel to hold all the articles in the carton until removed by the user. Removal of the articles is assisted by a gravity feed stand included in the carton which when implemented promotes the gravity feed of the articles toward the dispenser for convenient access and removal from the carton by a user.
