US Patent 9085386 Easy dispensing box with top slide opening

A box for easy dispensing of solid pourable product has a slide with a portion fixed, preferably by adhesive, to the top, but otherwise detachable from the box, preferably along a perforation. One of the sides of the box has an opening near the top of the box, covered by the slide. Upon lifting the top of the box and thereby detaching the slide, the opening is uncovered enabling the contents to flow from inside the box. The easy-dispensing box is constructed by starting from a single sheet of blank stock, and folding the sides, preferably into a tube box with sealed ends. Advantageously, the slide and the stops end up inside the box and properly located, and both ends of the box may be sealed.
