DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

• – männliche Teile, vorzugsweise in der Nähe von zwei Seiten (2 oder 3) von einem der zusammenklappbaren Ränder (4),
• – weibliche Teile auf dem anderen Rand (5), gegenüberliegend zu den männlichen Teilen (4),
• – Zentrier-Vorsprünge (15), angeordnet auf einem der zusammenklappbaren Ränder (2 oder 3), vorzugsweise auf beiden Seiten der männlichen Teile,
• – Zentrierkerben (14), angeordnet auf dem anderen Rand, gegenüberliegend zu den Zentrier-Vorsprüngen (15).

The main components (elements) of the closure device for collapsible boxes according to the invention comprise:

• - male parts, preferably near two sides ( 2 or 3 ) of one of the foldable edges ( 4 )
• - female parts on the other edge ( 5 ), opposite to the male parts ( 4 )
• - Centering projections ( 15 ) arranged on one of the foldable edges ( 2 or 3 ), preferably on both sides of the male parts,
• - centering notches ( 14 ) arranged on the other edge, opposite to the centering projections ( 15 ).

The centering notches ( 14 ) may be in the form of a square or rectangular prism, or cylindrical or hemispherical. The centering notches ( 14 ) can either be on the short edge ( 3 ) or the long edge ( 2 ) can be arranged.

The centering projections ( 15 ) may be in the form of a square or rectangular prism or may be cylindrical or hemispherical to fit in the centering notches. The centering projections ( 15 ) can either be on the long edge ( 3 ) or on the short edge ( 2 ) can be arranged.

The centering projections ( 15 ) can either be on both sides of the male parts ( 4 ) or female parts ( 5 ) can be arranged. One of the centering projections ( 15 ) can on one side of the male part ( 4 ), the other can be on the other side of the female part ( 5 ) can be arranged. The centering notches ( 14 ) are opposite the centering projections ( 15 ) arranged.

The main function of the centering notches ( 14 ) and the projections ( 15 ) is the meeting of male ( 4 ) and female ( 5 ) Parts of the lock during closing and opening. This facilitates the closing and opening procedures.

Another function of the centering notches ( 14 ) and protrusions ( 15 ) is to counteract the load and to prevent the forcing of the closure when the edges are loaded after locking during wear or storage.

• – die Basis (6),
• – den Rand (7),
• – den Raum (Kerbe) (10),
• – die Rand- und Seiten-Verbindung (11) und
• – das Andruckteil zum Entriegeln (12).

The male part ( 4 ) of the closure device for collapsible boxes according to the invention comprises:

• - the base ( 6 )
• - the edge ( 7 )
• - the space (notch) ( 10 )
• - the edge and side connection ( 11 ) and
• - the pressure part for unlocking ( 12 ).

The base ( 6 ) and the edge ( 7 ) of the male part ( 4 ) connect at the edge and at the side connection ( 11 ). The merger of the compound ( 11 ) can be either perpendicular or convex or concave to allow for reinforcement.

There is a space (notch) ( 10 ) on both edges ( 7 ) of the male part ( 4 ). The space ( 10 ) allows locking after fitting in the projection ( 9 ) of the female part ( 5 ).

In front of the male part ( 4 ) (facing the female part), there is a pressing member for unlocking ( 12 ). If with one finger on the pressure part ( 12 ), the page margins ( 7 ) of the male part ( 4 ) and move into the space (notch) ( 10 ). Thus the projection escapes ( 9 ) of the female part ( 5 ) out of the room ( 10 ) and as a result the shutter is opened.

• – einen Rand des weiblichen Teils (8) und
• – einen Vorsprung des weiblichen Teils (9).

The female parts ( 5 ) of the closure device for collapsible boxes according to the invention comprises:

• - an edge of the female part ( 8th ) and
• - a projection of the female part ( 9 ).

Edge ( 8th ) and advantage ( 9 ) of the female part ( 5 ) allow locking by fitting in the room ( 10 ) on the edge ( 7 ) of the male part ( 4 ).

The centering projections ( 15 ) and the notches ( 14 ), which aid in locking, facilitate locking, prevent expansion of the canister edges during loading during transport and storage, and direct the load on the closure, thus preventing the closure from accidental opening. These notches ( 14 ) and protrusions ( 15 ) prevent the abrasion of the shutter and at the same time extend the service life.
