ABSTRACT:
A closure device for a carton having a gable top. The device comprises a flanged cap including a pair of inner surfaces defining a longitudinal slot. The device further includes inclined side walls extending from the flanged cap and adapted to make a snug fit with the gable top. The device further includes front and rear walls contiguous with the inclined side walls and angled side walls adjacent the inclined side walls extending from the rear wall toward the front wall. The inclined side walls and angled side walls are spaced a distance apart to define a recess. The carton comprises a pair of vertical strips have an upper and lower edge, and inclined sidewalls extending outwardly and downwardly from the lower edge of the vertical strips. The strips have inner and outer surfaces. The inner surfaces of the strips are sealed together along their longitudinal length, so that when one end of the strips are pried apart, a pouring spout is formed for dispensing contents from the carton. The outer surfaces of the strips of the carton being slidingly disposed within the longitudinal slot in a confining relationship whereupon the inner surfaces forming the longitudinal slot hold the strips closed together and the inclined sidewalls of the carton are at least partially located within the recess. This protects the contents of the carton from spillage or the ingress of contaminants therein.
