Abstract
This relates to a display carton which is provided with an automatic tilt feature. An end wall of the carton extends down below the bottom wall so that when the carton is seated on a suitable support, the bottom wall slopes downwardly. There is provided a foldable interlock between the end wall and side walls and bottom wall of the carton whereby when the carton is erected, it will be locked in its erected open state with the end wall automatically positioned relative to the bottom wall to effect the tilting of the carton. The tilted carton permits the dispensing of a plurality of upstanding small articles from the carton with the articles leaning against the other end wall of the carton so as to maintain their upright positions when they are no longer supported by the large quantity of articles within the carton.
