An adjustable dispensing nozzle for an aerosol container in which pivotally interconnected elbows have an extension tube extending from one elbow and a stem on the other elbow inserted into and pivotal in a socket on a valve actuating lever of a cap mounted on the container. The elbow has a diverter valve rotatably mounted in the cylindrical body for directing the contents of the container to an orifice to exit as a spray, or to a socket in which an extension tube can be inserted to deliver the contents to a selected target as a stream.

The present invention is for a carton or box for holding containers such as oil bottles wherein the box is formed from a single sheet of precut corrugated material so that the upper edges have short tabs which cooperatively engage slots formed in the bottom of said boxes. The tabs are long enough to provide resistance to stacked boxes from sliding over one another but sized and shaped so as to not interfere with intentional stacking and moving of the boxes using manual labor or equipment. The tabs engage the slots in order to biase the boxes but not prevent all lateral movement.
