Embodiment Construction

[0015] As shown in FIG. 2, the carton 10 is formed by a side-wall 12, which is constructed of four panels 14a-14d. The carton 10 is preferable formed of a foldable cardboard material. The carton 10 may also be formed of corrugated cardboard. As used herein a carton shall include box-like structures with square or rectangular dimensions. The sidewall 12 panels 14a-14d are formed from a single foldable 5, shown in FIG. 1.

[0016] One pair of side panels 14c and 14b are spaced apart from one another and are opposing. The other pair of side panels 14a and 14d are also spaced apart and opposing each other. An interior is formed between the spaced apart pairs of side panels. Within the interior 15 a platform 20 is formed perpendicular to the sidewall 12. Preferably, the platform is positioned at a height H between about 10 and about 100 percent of the interior 15, and more preferably at a height H between about 20 to 70 percent of the interior 15. The platform 20 is also formed from the bl...

More particularly, the invention relates to a carton which stores dissimilar items on an internal platform and in wells. [0003] 2. Description of Related Art [0004] Cartons are plentiful in the art and well-known. Unit dose devices are also known in the art. One unit dose device taught in U.S. Pat. No. 3,692,228 issued to Spiegel teaches a box or carton constructed from a foldable blank in which two or more wells are formed. [0005] U.S. Pat. No. 5,076,492 issued to Tupes teaches a carton with a removable platform. This removable platform is used to form a false bottom to hold an article for display which is substantially smaller than would fill the carton. Another carton, with a shelf support, is taught in U.S. Pat. No. 5,938,109 issued to Sainz. The Sainz patent teaches a shelf assembly, formed as part of a carton, both carton and shelf are formed...
