Including tearing or breaking means for opening a nonunitary closure or releasing a nonunitary securing element (i.e., the closure or securing element is not of one-piece construction with the box):

(under subclass 100) Subject matter wherein the box includes either (1) an individual closing means (i.e., not of one-piece construction with the box) which includes means for rupturing it to gain access to the box or (2) an individual element which maintains a closing means in closed position and which has means for rupturing it to facilitate opening the closing means and gaining access to the contents of the box.

(1) Note. A box having both a closure which is of one-piece construction with the box and a nonunitary securing element may be proper for this subclass.
