Abstract (en)
[origin: US4742917A] This disclosure depicts a novel apparatus for packaging components in a multiple type packaging arrangement which permits the multiply packaged components to either be opened as an entire unit or individually. In particular, this packaging arrangement comprises a plurality of aligned, open ended boxes having disposed over the open ends a U-shaped sheet, the sheet having a middle flat plane and two planes depending therefrom at right angles thereto, the middle plane sealing the open ends of the boxes. The U-shaped sheet dimensioned such that it will overlap the plurality of aligned open ended boxes and the U-shaped sheet having score marks therein corresponding with the ends of the individual boxes permitting individual boxes or groups thereof to be broken away from the plurality. The U-shaped sheet also having a frangible strip by which the open area of the boxes may be exposed either individually or as a group by tearing the frangible strip, thereby allowing the flat plane of the U-shaped sheet to pivot and expose the open ends of the boxes.
