A container for holding a mass of a flowable solid material comprising a bottom, at least one end wall and a pair of side walls, each having a generally upright side margin therebetween to which the end wall is coupled. The end wall is provided with a pair of arcuate fold lines extending upwardly from respective side margins and being covergent relative to each other at a location near the upper extremity of the end wall intermediate the side margins. The side walls and end wall are formed of a material having sufficient flexibility to permit the sides to be moved toward each other while simultaneously allowing the end wall to flex outwardly along the fold lines so that the upper portion of the end wall forms a spout to control the pouring of the flowable solid material from the box.

A container for holding a mass of a flowable material comprising back and front walls, at least one end wall and top end flaps hingedly attached at one end of said walls, each said back and front wall being contiguous with said end wall through respective of generally upright side margins, a break-away tab formed in part by a tear line in said end wall, said tab further being formed by the hinged attachment of said end wall to a first top end flap; a pair of top end flaps hingedly attached to said back and front walls, and overlapping said first top end flap, each of said pair of top end flaps being joined to respective of said back and front walls in part by a tear hinge extending therebetween for a distance corresponding to the depth of the said first top end flap, said back and front wall top end flaps being further provided with a fold line transverse to said tear hinge; a first pair of arcuate fold lines provided in respective of said back and front walls, each of said pair of arcuate fold lines having one end thereof inTersecting with the upright side margin between said end wall and respective of said back and front walls, and the other end thereof intersecting the transverse fold line at the respective top end flap, said end wall having a second pair of fold lines extending upwardly from respective side margins and being convergent relative to each other intermediate said side margins at a location near said break-away tab, each said back, front and end wall being formed of a material having sufficient flexibility to permit the back and front walls to be moved toward each other while simultaneously allowing the end wall to flex outwardly along said fold lines, whereby when said carton is filled with flowable materials, the particles can be dispensed from said carton by first separating said tab along the tear line in said end wall and said tear hinges in said pair of top end flaps, then by bending said tab upwardly about said transverse fold line, and thereafter depressing the portions of said back and front walls defined by said pair of arcuate fold lines and said end wall, so as to temporarily lock into a pour spout configuration to control the pouring of said flowable material from said container.
