PATENT OFFICE. \%

The well-known boxes for shop fittings and offices, with one side wall can be folded down to see the contents of the box can show the inconvenience that they have a solid cover, and therefore no cover, and that they are consequently which are not only inconvenient to fill with goods, but only one at a time Side can be used.

The box according to the present invention is equipped with several foldable sides.

In the accompanying drawing it is in the various positions it occupies can, shown.

The box is cut in the same way as the cardboard is used to make a cardboard box. At the bottom piece ^ 4, the side walls of a ¹ ^ ² ^ ³ ^ ⁴ conclude, and the side portions α ³ α ⁴ are side lobes / Z (Fig. 1), but which do not after the erection of the walls at the sides of a ^l a ^% glued on, but inserted into it.

For this purpose, the side walls a ¹ a ' ^{2 are} pocket-like from a double cardboard layer, so that a slot c (Fig. 6) remains between the latter, into which the tabs II, which are of course hinged to their walls, can be inserted .

First, the tabs of one wall α ³ , as shown in FIG. 2, and then also the tabs / / of the other foldable wall a ^{i are inserted} into the side walls α ¹ λ ² . (Fig. 3) inserted.

Have the flaps // the sufficient width (its length is determined by the height of the chest wall), so they are cc in the slots so clamped by the spring force of the double a ^{1 "2,} that they do not fold down unintentionally. In order to give the box sufficient inner support, it does not first need the support of the lid B, but even if the lid has been removed and one side, e.g. B. a ⁱ , is folded down, the stiffening of the walls a ¹ a ² caused by the flaps on the opposite side a ^{3 is} sufficient to prevent all the side walls from collapsing. Just as you can fold down side a * , you can do this with side α ^Ά . The box has the advantage that, for example, placed on a double desk, it can be used comfortably by anyone working at the desk to remove paper or the like. After the lid B (Fig. 5) has been put on, it differs in no way from the usual cartons or boxes; it has a solid base, firmly joined side walls and a removable cover. If both side walls a ³ a * are folded down, the remaining side walls α ¹ α ² naturally lose their hold and buckle at the slightest contact. But this is not a disadvantage of the box, but rather an essential advantage; because since one is forced to give the side walls a ¹ a ² with the bottom A a firm but flexible connection in order to prevent damage to the free-standing sides α ¹ α ² after the walls a ³ a ^{i have been} folded down, the shows Box still has the property that

it can be folded up in cover B when not in use. The present box also shows the advantages of the known collapsible cartons, without having their disadvantage, which consist in the fact that these cartons do not have a solid base, but a base made of stuff, which, after the wall made of connected members has been spread apart, is replaced by an insert solid ground is stiffened. If one takes such a carton from the frame, whereby one has to put one's hand under the bottom, one usually pushes back the loosely inlaid bottom, and the consequence of this is then that the carton is collapsed and its contents damaged. But even if that. If the contents are not damaged, one is forced to empty the box in order to put the loose base in its correct place and to make the carton usable again. The folding of the box is done in the way as it is indicated in Fig. 7, this being a left side view of FIG. The side walls a ¹ a ~ are placed under and the walls a ³ a * over the floor A , with the flaps / / being folded inwards against their associated wall. The present carton or box shows not only the mentioned advantages of the boxes with foldable side wall, but also those of the known collapsible, provided with removable lid, without the deficiency of these two types of carton, due to the peculiar clamping connection of the side walls among themselves. As a result of this clamping connection formed from the insertion gap c and tabs /, a completely dust-proof closure of the side flaps is also achieved, as is not present in the known boxes with a foldable side. Of course, the lid can also be provided with the same hinged sides and achieved then the advantage that one can build box on box directly, and then the goods, in spite of the fact that the cover of all of them Expansion after being loaded, can be easily and conveniently removed. Refilling the boxes can then be done through the laid down side flap, or you can dismantle the stack, remove it the lids of the boxes and fill them from above. When using these boxes you are regardless of the presence of a rack. Patent Α ν saying: A collapsible box or carton with a solid base and removable lid, the sides of which are separately hinged to the base, and of which two opposite sides (a ¹ a ² ) have a clamping slot (c) for the side walls on the other 'nden fa ³ a ⁴ J have articulated push-in tabs so that the box or carton is filled or filled from the front or rear as required by lifting the lid or by folding down one of the side walls provided with tabs. can be emptied, with the detachable side walls inserted into one another and the overlapping lid securing the connection of the box. 1 sheet of drawings.
