Definitions

  • This invention relates to a cuboid packing box, for use in sending small articles by mail.
  • Proposals are also known e.g. GB Patent 1583324 and US Patent 4010865, for knock-down boxes having an interior layer of a foamed material for heat insulating purposes. These boxes are intended for consignments of perishable goods such as fish and fruit, and consequently are of a size, wall thickness and weight which is substantially greater than is useful for the present application.
  • the invention aims to provide a box which has sufficient strength to go through the mail, which provides a relatively soft interior to prevent damage, and which can be erected without the exertion of force.
  • a cuboid packing box formed by a net of six linked panels, each panel comprising an outer layer of card which is common to all panels and an individual inner softer layer having mitred edges adhered to the card, wherein a row of four wall panels when erected form a rectangular configuration open at opposite ends, and two end panels having upstanding lips engage the outside of the wall panels when they are closed over those ends, and wherein there is a spacing in each case between the individual inner layers of adjacent panels.
  • Such a box can be sold entirely flat, and is provided with appropriate tabs provided as necessary with double-sided adhesive tape.
  • the provision of the spacing between the individual inner layers allows the box to be erected without the exertion of force and damage to the corners.
  • a cuboid packing box has six panels 10-15 linked to form a net 16 when opened flat.
  • Each panel comprises a cardboard outer layer 17, to which is glued an inner, softer layer 18.
  • the outer layer is, for example, E-flute corrugated card;
  • the inner layer is, for example, extra hard, small bead expanded polystyrene in the form of an injection moulded tile. Expanded polyurethane and expanded polyethylene might also serve as suitable materials.
  • the outer layers of all the panels are continuous, thus forming the net 16, the panels being linked at the fold lines 19.
  • Each tile 18 at each edge 20 is bevelled or mitred at exactly 45 0 , as seen in Fig.4, which also shows that each tile, forming the inner layer 18, is slightly smaller than the dimensions of the outer layer 17 to which it is attached.
  • the outer layer 17 of panels 14 and 15 is slightly larger than those of panels 10 to 13. This is to allow for the thickness of the walls when the top and bottom are closed.
  • the outer layers 17 of the two panels 14,15 are extended on three sides by tabs 21 which are folded up at right angles to form lips 21a on those three sides. Extensions 22 on two of the tabs are folded round and glued to hold the lips in position. A further tab 23 may be provided on panel 10 or 13 for securing the box. Areas of double-sided adhesive tape 24, each one covered by a release paper are provided so that a user does not need to supply tape or glue.
  • the net 16 can be erected to form the walls of a box by folding adjacent wall panels 10 to 13 to form a hollow square tube, and then folding up panels 14 and 15 to close the ends.
  • the lips 21 then overlap the wall panels 10 to 13 and normally the springiness of these panels will by friction hold the box in its erected state. But if tab 23 is provided, this will on its own secure the tube even when the ends are open.
  • the solidity of the box depends upon it being very accurately dimensioned.
  • the critical factors in this are that the corresponding sides of the panels are of exactly the same dimensions, that the mitres are at exactly 45°, and that the dimension s between tiles 18 (Fig.4) exactly permits the folding of two adjacent panels so that the mitres close exactly together (as in Fig.5).
  • a box as described has very great strength despite being very light, a necessary quality to avoid postal charges. It may use any suitable materials of any suitable thickness for the inner and outer layers. Normally, but depending upon the nature of the outer surface, no outer wrapping of the packing box will be required and mailing instructions can be written on the outer surface itself. In addition, the configuration of the net of panels renders the box self-evident to assemble.
  • the box although illustrated as a cube, can have any desired proportions. Since it can be stored opened out before use, it is economical of space in manufacture, storage and transport. It is suitable for retail sale to users through post offices, department stores and stationers, for example, and can also be used as a protective box by shops e.g. china shops, in which to give customers their purchases.
  • the net is advantageously of the T-shape shown, because this provides the possibility of the most economical tesselation of shapes for production purposes, ensuring minimum waste of card.
