[00021 This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/654,545 filed February 17, 2005 and entitled APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR JOINING THE EDGES OF FOLDED SHEET MATERIAL TO FORM THREE - I - WO 2006/104789 PCT/US2006/010326 DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURE, the entire contents of which is incorporated herein by this reference. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention [00031 The present invention relates, in general, to apparatus and methods for joining together the edges of sheet material which has been folded so as to form three dimensional structures, and more particularly, relates to apparatus and methods for joining sheet material which has been folded using high-precision folding structures capable of accurately registering joinder structures for coupling together of sheet edges. Description of Related Art [00041 The Related Applications set forth above, and incorporated herein by reference, set forth in considerable detail apparatus and methods for bending or folding sheet material to form three-dimensional structures. Flat sheets are provided with a plurality of folding structures which will produce folding of the sheets along fold lines that can very precisely be controlled. The folding structures are typically slits, grooves or displacements that are positioned on alternating sides of a desired fold line so as to define spaced-apart bending or folding straps that precisely control folding of the sheet. Most preferably, the folding structures also produce edge-to-face engagement of the sheet material on opposite sides of the folding structures to further enhance folding precision and structural strength. 1600s The folded sheets of the Related Applications often have been used to produce three-dimensional structures in which free or adjacent edges of the sheets are folded into abutting or overlapping relation and then are joined together to stabilize the resulting structure against unfolding. The previous techniques for securing the edges of the folded sheets together have varied considerably, depending upon the application, but in many instances the sheet edges have merely been joined together -2- WO 2006/104789 PCT/US2006/010326 using standard fasteners such as screws, rivets, other mechanical fasteners, and/or welding, brazing or adhesives. [ooo6 One of the very substantial advantages of the apparatus and method of the Related Applications is the ability to fold sheet material with both great precision and complexity using low folding forces. Precise and complex folding of sheet material allows techniques for joining the edges of the sheet material to be based upon precise registration of the edges at the end of the folding process so that joinder structures provided at, or proximate to the edges can be folded into registration with each other for the purpose of coupling the joinder structure together against separation of the edges. [0007l The complexity with which sheets can be folded using the techniques set forth in the Related Applications allows a great reduction in the number of separate parts required to create a structure. Further reducing the number of parts by eliminating separate mechanical fasteners, therefore, is highly desirable, and elimination of separate welding, soldering and adhesive bonding steps also reduces the cost associated with the finished part. ooo8 Moreover, the precise sheet folding systems of the Related Applications can be applied to a wide range of sheet thicknesses. Thus, fastener-free sheet edge joining should also be capable of being used in applications requiring high strength joinder of the sheet edges. [00091 What is needed is an apparatus and method to employ the ability to precisely fold sheet material in a manner which will allow fastener-free, high strength, low cost joinder of edges of the sheet material. 100101 What is needed is an apparatus and method to provide an apparatus and method for forming enclosures or housings for various purposes, including the enclosure of electrical components, which apparatus and method lend themselves to efficient and low-cost manufacturing processes. -3- WO 2006/104789 PCT/US2006/010326 tooiti The apparatus and method of the present invention have other objects and features of advantage which will become apparent from, or are set forth in more detail in, the accompanying drawing and Detailed Description Of The Invention BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0012 In summary, one aspect of the present invention is directed to a sheet of material formed for bending or folding into a three-dimensional structure. The sheet of material preferably includes a first sheet section having a first edge formed with a first joinder structure proximate the first edge, a second sheet section having a second edge formed with a second joinder structure proximate the second edge for interlocking engagement with said first joinder structure, and a plurality of folding structures formed in the sheet of material along a plurality of desired fold lines which divide the sheet of material into said first and second sheet sections, the folding structures being formed to produce sufficiently precise folding of the sheet of material along the fold lines to position the first and second edges together such that said first and second joinder structures interengage with one another and retain the sheet of material in a folded condition. [00131 The first joinder structure may be a joinder tab extending out of the plane of the first sheet section forming a slot extending toward the first edge, and the second joinder structure may be a registration flange, a portion of which is dimensioned and configured to extend into the slot upon folding. The joinder tab may have a J-shaped cross-section. The joinder tab may be formed by stamping. The first sheet section may have an aperture formed by stamping the joinder tab out of the plane of the first sheet. The portion of the registration flange received in said slot may include a locking protrusion extending out-of-plane and dimensioned and configured to extend into the aperture to prevent disengagement of the first and second joinder structures. The locking protrusion may have a ramp-shaped profile to facilitate insertion of the portion of the registration flange into the slot. The folding structures may be provided by one of slits, grooves and displacements formed in the sheet of material to define a plurality of folding straps having center lines extending obliquely across the fold lines. -4- WO 2006/104789 PCT/US2006/010326 00t4 Another aspect of the present invention is directed to a sheet of material folded and secured to form a three-dimensional corner structure. The sheet of material preferably includes a first sheet portion folded along a first fold line to produce a first corner, the first sheet portion including an inwardly projecting coupling shoulder displaced out-of-plane forming a receiving slot, the coupling shoulder spaced from the first fold line, the first sheet further including an aperture formed by the out-of-plane displacement of the coupling shoulder, and a second sheet portion folded along a second fold line to produce a second corner member, the second sheet portion having a registration flange, a portion of which is received in the slot of the coupling shoulder, the registration flange portion having an outwardly projecting latch member spaced from the second fold line and extending into the aperture of the first sheet portion producing an interference fit between the coupling shoulder and the registration flange portion. 0oot5 The first fold line and the second fold line may each be formed by a plurality of folding structures provided by one of slits, grooves and displacements defining a plurality of spaced apart folding straps having center lines extending obliquely across the fold lines to produce precise location of the coupling shoulder and latch member relative to the first fold line and precise location of the registration flange portion and the coupling shoulder slot. [00161 The box formed utilizing precision fold technology of the present invention has other features and advantages which will be apparent from or are set forth in more detail in the accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and form a part of this specification, and the following Detailed Description of the Invention, which together serve to explain the principles of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS (00171 FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a two-dimensional sheet material preformed with precision fold structures and fastening structures in accordance with the present invention. -5- WO 2006/104789 PCT/US2006/010326 [00181 FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the sheet material of FIG. 1, the sheet having undergone a first bending step. 100191 FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the sheet material of FIG. 1, the sheet having undergone a subsequent bending step.

[00271 FIG. 11 is a perspective view of a plurality of sheet material structures similar to that shown in FIG. 1 in a stacked configuration. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 100281 Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawinqq While -6- WO 2006/104789 PCT/US2006/010326 the invention will be described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments, it will be understood that they are not intended to limit the invention to those embodiments. On the contrary, the invention is intended to cover alternatives, modifications and equivalents, which may be included within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. [00291 Turning now to the drawings, wherein like components are designated by like reference numerals throughout the various figures, attention is directed to FIG. -1, which shows a sheet material 30 having a generally cross-shaped configuration to form a box blank 31. In this embodiment, the sheet material has been dimensioned and configured to form an open box (see FIG. 5), however, one will appreciate that other three-dimensional can be formed in accordance with the present invention. For example, free standing corner structures can be formed, pyramid-shaped structure, and generally any three dimensional structure in which two planar, or substantially planar surfaces intersect one another. [00301 The sheet material includes a first sheet section 32 having a first edge 33 formed with a first joinder structure 34 proximate the first edge. Preferably, the joinder structure is spaced a distance away from the adjacent fold line 35 thereby providing increased leverage to resist disengagement of the joinder structure as will become apparent below. [00311 The sheet material includes a second sheet section 36 having a second edge 37 formed with a second joinder structure 38 proximate the second edge for interlocking engagement with said first joinder structure. The first and second joinder structures are dimensioned and configured to engage with one another upon folding the sheet material along the fold lines. 100321 The sheet of material also includes a plurality of folding structures 39 formed in the sheet of material along a plurality of desired fold lines which divide the sheet of material into the first and second sheet sections. The folding structures are formed to produce sufficiently precise folding of the sheet of material along the fold lines to -7- WO 2006/104789 PCT/US2006/010326 position the first and second edges together such that said first and second joinder structures interengage with one another and retain the sheet of material in a folded condition. Preferably, the folding structures are slits, grooves, displacements and or other suitable means formed in the sheet of material to define a plurality of folding straps 40 having center lines extending obliquely across the fold lines. [00331 The particular configuration of the fold lines and folding straps are extensively discussed in U.S. Patent Application Nos. 10/795,077, 10/672,766, 10/256,870, and 09/640,267 (now U.S. Patent No. 6,481,259), the entire contents of which applications and patent is incorporated herein by this reference. [00341 As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the two-dimensional sheet material is sequentially bent along respective fold lines to form an open box structure. First and second joinder structures are engaged as the sheet material is bent from the condition shown in FIG. 3 to the condition shown in FIG. 4. As can be seen in the figures, each corner of the box includes similar, cooperating joinder structures which are similarly engaged. [00351 FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 are enlarged views of a corner of the box which clearly show the interengagement of the first and second joinder structures, the configuration of which are discussed in greater detail below. [00361 Turning now to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, first joinder structure is preferably a joinder tab 41 extending out of the plane of the first sheet section and forms a slot 42 extending toward the first edge. The second joinder structure is a registration flange, a portion 43 of which is dimensioned and configured to extend into the slot upon folding, as seen in FIG. 10. [00371 In this embodiment, the joinder tab has a J-shaped cross-section 44, as can be seen in FIG. 9. One will appreciate that other cross-sectional shapes may be used including L-shapes, C-shapes and other suitable shapes. Preferably, the joinder tab is formed by stamping. -8- WO 2006/104789 PCT/US2006/010326 [00381 With continued reference to FIG. 9, the first sheet section has an aperture 45 formed as the joinder tab is stamped out-of-plane from the first sheet. The portion of the registration flange received in said slot includes a locking protrusion 46 extending out-of-plane and dimensioned and configured to extend into the aperture to prevent disengagement of the first and second joinder structures. Preferably, the locking protrusion has a ramp-shaped profile to facilitate insertion of the portion of the registration flange into the slot. 100391 As shown in FIG. I1, the box blanks of the present invention may be shipped flat, thus allowing a plurality of box blanks to be stacked on top of one another. The configuration of the fold lines allows the box blanks to be folded from their two dimensional state to their three-dimensional state on site. As is discussed in the above-mentioned Patent Applications, the precision fold lines allow the blanks to be folded, precisely, along predefined fold lines with minimal effort. 100401 The foregoing descriptions of specific embodiments of the present invention have been presented for purposes of illustration and description. They are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed, and obviously many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the invention and its practical application, to thereby enable others skilled in the art to best utilize the invention and various embodiments with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated. It is intended that the scope of the invention be defined by the Claims appended hereto and their equivalents. -9-
