Abstract

ABSTRACT
A cardboard box, and a one-piece blank therefor, which is specifically shaped to receive a pair of skate boots or the like is described. The septahedronal box has a pentagonal side section and is opened and closed via a lockable flap covering the sloping front face of the box.

Description

`" ~V972~33 This invention relates to a septahedronal con-tainer and a one-piece blank thereEor. More particu:Larly, this invention relates -to a novel box for economically packaging objects of irregular shapes such as sports bootsO
The packaging of irregularly shaped objects, such as pairs oE ska-teboots, ski boots, hiking boots and -the like poses considerable problems oE economy and at-tractiveness because of the irregular shapes involved. Furthermore, the box must be sturdy enough to suppor-t the weight of the boots yet compact enough to be stored wi-thout undue waste of space.
Traditionally skate boots, and to a lesser extent ski boots, have been packaged in regular hexahedronal rectangular paperboard or cardboard boxes having rectan~ular top and bottom panels and rectangular side and end panels. It has been found however that such boxes are not particularly aesthetically pleasing, require a considerable amount of material to fabri-cate them and, furthermore, the filled boxes require a consider-able amount of warehouse storage space.
. : .
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a novel container and blank therefor for sports boots . and the like which is aesthetically pleasing, economical of material to manufacture and which minlmizes the amount of ware-house space required to contain erected boxes. It has been found that a box having seven surfaces or sides made from a blank preferably cut from corrugated paperboard cardboard or the like is particularly suitable.
Thus, by one aspect of this invention there is provided ! ~
a one-piece blank for a septahedronal box, comprising:
a first rectangular front panel~

Eirst and second pentagollal side panels hingedly connected along long.itudinal parallel fold lines to said first Eront panel;
a rectangular back pane~l. hingedly connected along a further longi-tudinal parallel Eold line to one o:E said side panels;
a subs-tantially rectangular panel :Eorming a first bottom panel, a pair oE substan-tially pentagonal panels forming second and third bo-t-tom panels, and a substantially xhomboidal panel forming a four-th bottom panel, sald first, second, third and fourth bottom panels being hingedly connec-ted along a continuous transverse fold line to one of said side panels, saicl front and ~ back panels and the other of said side panels re5pectivelyi - a second rectangular front panel hingedly connected -to said ; first front panel along a first transverse fold line along a ; marginal edge thereof;
a rectangular top panel hingedly connected to said second front panel along a second fold line parallel to said first transverse fold line; and means on said top panel to said back panel to releasably ~ `
lock the same when said box is erected.
By another aspect of this inventlon there is provided a septahedronal box formed from a one-piece blank and comprising:
a first rectangular front panel, first and second pentagonal side panels hingedly connected along longitudinal parallel fold lines to said first front pane~ and at riyht angles thereto and a rectangular back panel hingedly connected along a further longitud-~-~ inal parallel~fold line to one of said side panels and at right angles thereto, and with means securing said back panel to the other of said side panels along a longitudinal margi.nal side e~dge thereof;
a substantially rectangular panel -forming a first bottom ,,; - 2 -~:' :: - ' . ~ ~

a second rectangular front panel hingedly connected to said first front panel along a first transverse fold line along a marginal edge thereof, a rectangular top panel hingedly connected to said second front panel along a second fold line parallel to said first transverse fold line; and means on said top panel and said:back panel releasably locking the same.
Septahedronal boot carrying cases are not, per se, novel and attention is directed to Canadian Industrial Design Registra-tion 41077 of 16 August 1976. Other known septahedronal boxes include those shown in Canadian Industrial Design Registration 24484/180 of 8 January 1962 and Canadian Patent 422,466 dated 5 September 1944. However, none of these prior art boxes or ~ :~
cases are fabricated according to the principles of the present ~ :
invention and generally open and close in completely different manners.
The present invention will be described in more detail hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings in ~.:

` ~ILO~ff7~83 which:-F.igure 1 is a plan view oE the blank Erom which a pre:Eer.red embodiment of -the present if.nvention is cons-tructed;
Figure 2 is an isom~ftric view of an open box according to -tha present invention Eormed from -the blank of Figure l; and Fi.gure 3 is an isometric view of.-the box of Figure 2 in closed posi-tion.
~: As shown in Figure 1, blank 10, comprises a rectangular front panel 11, hingedly connected along longitudinal parallel ^f fold lines 12 and 13 to pentagonal first and second side panels 14 and 15 respectively. Side panel 14 is additionally hingedly connected along a further longitudinal parallel fold line 16 to a rectangular back panel 17. Panels 11, 14, 15 and 17 are ' additionally hingedly connected, along a continuous transverse fold line 18, to pentagonal panel 19, rectangular panel 20, rhomboidal panel 21 and pentagonal panel 22 respectively. Panel:
:~ 20 is provided with a cut-out 23 lnto which flap 24 on panel 21 can be fitted when the blank 10 is folded along fold lines 12, ;.~ 13, 16 and 18 so that panels 19, 20, 21 and 22 in combination ~ 20 form the bottom of the box.
:.
:~f~ Panel 11 is also hingedly connected along a transverse fold line 25 to a rectangular second front panel 26,:which in : , turn is hingedl,v connected along a transverse fold line 27 to a rectangular top pan~l 28. Panel 26 is provided with flaps 29 and 30 along the longitudinal marglnal side edges thereof and ~`; a cut-out portion 31 adjacent the fold line 27.
;~ Top panel 28 is hingedly connected along a transverse fold line 32 to a substantial1y rectangular flap 33 which is provided with a slot 34 adjacent and parallel to fold line 32.

~ : ", ~ 4 -'~ ~'3 ~'' -: ~ ' ' ' ~ ' ' ~ ' . ' ' ' . :

7~:~3 Pentagonal panels 14 and 15 are hingeclly connec-ted along fold lines 35 and 36 respectively on the sloping edges thereof to rhomboidal Elaps 37 and 38 respectively. Flaps 37 and 38 are provided with slo-ts 39 and 40 adjacent and parallel -to fold lines 35 and 36 respectively. Panels 14 and 15 are also hingedly connected a]ong transverse fold lines 41 and 42 respec-tively to substantially xectangular flaps 43 and 44.
Panel 17 is provided with a closure tongue 45, hingedly connected along a transverse fold line 46, which is adapted for insertion into slot 34 upon closure of the box.
In order to erect a box o~ the present invention from the blank described in detail hereinabove, panels 11, 14, 15 and 17 are erected to be at right angles to each other with panels 19, 20, 21 and 22 perpendicular thereto. With respect to closing the bottom of the box, panel 20 is first folded along fold line 18, followed by panels 19 and 22. The bottom is completed by folding panel 21 along fold line 18 and inserting tongue 24 into the recess 23 to lock panels 20, 19 and 22 respectively into place.
The side of the box is secured by a strip of adhesive material or the like (not shown) securely fastening together longitudinal edges 47 and 48 of panels 17 and 15 respectively, thus producing a box as shown in Figure 2. It will be appreciated that a pair of skate boots or the like can be inserted into the box through the open sloped front thereof. The box can then be closed, and secured in the position as shown in Flgure 3 by moving -the second front flap panel 26 into abutting and over-lying relation with inwardly turned rhomboidal flaps 37 and 38.
The -top panel 28 is mov~d into overlying relation with inwardly .

7Z~33 turned panels 43 and 4~ and secured in place by inserting tongue 45 in-to s:lot 34. Additional rigidity and security .~ o~ the box may be provided by inserting flaps 29 and 30 into slots 3~ and 40 respectively. The box may be conveniently lifted and carried by inser-ting -the fingers o~ one hand through cut-ou-t 31, provided for this pu.rpose.
