Definitions

  • This invention relates to gift boxes or cartons. It is more particularly concerned with gift boxes that are formed from a sheet of paperboard or the like but which when set up have th appearance of a gift-wrapped box.
  • Folding boxes including the above-mentiond gift boxes, are generally die-cut from a sheet of paperboard or the like as flat blanks. Their shapes are maintained after they are properly folded by gluing or by interlocking tabs or tabs in slots.
  • the great majority of such gift boxes are formed with a separate sheet of decorative wrapping paper attached to the flat box sheet at various locations so that when the box blanks are folded into shape the wrapping paper covers the box in a manner similar to that of a hand-wrapped package. To obtain the desired effect the box blanks and the wrapping sheet are generally not coterminous.
  • a gift wrap box not requiring a separate sheet of wrapping paper but having the wrapper design printed on the box would be less expensive than those of the above listed patents and easier to fold on automatic folding machines. Very little appears to have been done in this field.
  • One such carton is disclosed in United States Patent No. 3,942,711' of March 9, 1976 to John D. Desmond, et al. It is a tubular carton opening on an end such as are generally used for bottles of liquor and the like.
  • the gift wrap box of my invention is made from a blank die-cut in the usual manner from a sheet of paperboard or the like, one side of which carries an ornamental design or color printed or otherwise applied to the unitary sheet.
  • the term "otherwise applied” is intended to include a laminated sheet, whether an outer lamination carries an ornamental design or color applied before or after the laminating operation. In either case the design or color need not extend beyond the blank, and may be omitted from those areas which are not visible after the box is set up.
  • the box folded from that blank ahs a body portion and a cover portion, the body portion having a bottom panel, two opposite sides and two opposite ends; the cover portion having a top, one or two sides, depending on whether it is a one-piece or a two-piece box, and two opposite ends.
  • the body and cover portions of one-piece boxes are hinged between a side of the body portion and the top of the cover portion.
  • the ends of the cover and body portions of both types of boxes are formed from extensions of the sides and the top and bottom, respectively.
  • top and bottom panel extensions are folded inwardly into isosceles triangles on diagonals from their inner corners to the mid-points of their outer edges.
  • the side extensions of the body portion are folded toward each other and are preferably made long enough to overlap along a vertical line mid-way between the sides.
  • the bottom panel extension triangles are folded inwardly against the overlapped side extensions.
  • the cover portion is folded in the same way except that the extensions of its side panel or panels extend only to the vertical lines above mentioned.
  • the top panel extension triangles are folded against those side panel extensions.
  • the bottom panel extensions are folded along diagonals into isosceles trapezoids.
  • the body portion side panel extensions may be cut with a turnover flap on their upper edges and the upper edges of the body trapezoids are turned over with those flaps, thus forming a stiffener in each edge.
  • the top panel extensions of the cover portion likewise fold into trapezoids.
  • the side panel extensions of the cover are cut with slots from their outside corners paralleling the diagonal sides of the cover trapezoids but extending only about halfway along those diagonals. When the cover portion is closed on the body portion the corners of those extensions form tuck tabs which fit betweent he bottom panel trapezoids and the extensions of the bottom side panels behind them.
  • the cover and body trapezoids may meet or overlap, thus giving the box ends the appearance of a hand-wrapped carton.
  • the folded triangles or trapezoids of the cover and body ends are preferably glued to their underlying elements.
  • the blank of Figure 1 comprises a cover portion side panel 11, a cover portion top panel 12, a body portion side panel 13, a body portion bottom panel 14 and an body portion side panel 15.
  • the cover and body portions are hinged at the common edge of panels 12 and 13.
  • Panels 11, 12, 13 and 14 have end extensions 17, 19, 21 and 23 repectively on one side of the blank and end extensions 18, 20, 22 and 24 respectively on the other side of the blank, all those extensions having a dimension crossways of the blank half of that of their panels 11, 12, 13 and 14.
  • Panel 15 has end extensions 25 and 26 respectively, each having a dimension crossways of the blank greater than half of that panel 15.
  • Panel extensions 25 and 26 have tongues 27 and 28 respectively on thier edges adjoining panel extensions 23 and 24 respectively, extending more than halfway across said panel extensions 23 and 24.
  • Tongue 27 has a reduced width tip 29 and tongue 28 has a transverse slot 30 positioned halfway across panel 24, which slot accepts tip 29 when my box is folded, constituting one form of stiffener, as will be described hereinafter.
  • the extensions 21 and 22 of panel 13 at each end have tabs 31 and 32 respectively projecting from their outer edges and the extensions 25 and 26 of panel 15 each have slots 33 and 34 respectively positioned to accept tabs 31 and 32 respectively when my box is folded, as will be described hereinafter.
  • Areas 37 in panel extensions 19, 20, 23 and 24 are areas where glue is applied to the faces of the extensions unexposed in Figure 1 and areas 38 in those panel extensions are areas where glue is applied to the faces of the extensions exposed in Figure 1 before my box is folded an assembled. All the dividing lines between panels, and between panels and extensions thereof are creased.
  • FIG. 5 The box with its cover nearly closed is shown in Figure 5. AS its cover is brought down, the outside corner of side panel 18 is inserted between triangular panel 24 and side panel extension 26. The corner of side panel extension 17 likewise is inserted between triangular panel 23 and side panel extension 25 on the other side of Figure 5, not shown.
  • Figure 6 illustrates the completely closed box. The apexes 42 and 44 of triangles 20 and 24 meet, giving the ends of the box the appearance of a hand wrapped package.
  • FIG 7 illustrates the stiffeners formed against the bottom 14 on my box by tongues 27 and 28.
  • the tip 29 of tongue 27 enters the slot 30 of tongue 28.
  • the purpose of the stiffener is to brace the two composite end walls of the body portion. Other stiffening arrangements may be employed.
  • FIG. 8 shows the box blank comprising cover side panel 51, top panel 52, body side panel 53, bottom panel 54 and body side panel 55.
  • Panel 51 has extensions 57 and 58 respectively at each end; each extension having diagonal slot 56 running from its outside corner about halfway along its diagonal.
  • Panel 52 has end extensions 59 and 60.
  • Panel 53 has end extensions 61 and 62 formed with tabs 67 and 68 respectively on their side edges. The adjoining corners of extensions 59 and 60 are cut away diagonally to accommodate those tabs.
  • Bottom panel 54 has end extensions 63 and 64 respectively and body side panel 55 has end extensions 65 and 66 with tabs 69 and 70 correpsonding to extensions 61 and 62 previously described.
  • Extensions 61, 62, 63, 64, 65 and 66 are of the same length and extend beyond extensions 57, 58, 59 and 60, whicha re all of the same length, to provide stock for edge stiffeners, as will be described. Cover and body portions are hinged along the edge common to panels 52 and 53. Extensions 59, 60, 63 and 64 are creased diagonally along lines 71 from their inside corners. Extensions 63 and 64 are creased parallel to their bottom panel boundaries on lines 73 and 74 respectively, spaced from the adjoining edges of bottom panel 54 a distance equal to that of the outer edge of extension panels 59 and 60 from the adjoining edges of top panel 52, plus allowance for folding.
  • Creased line 73 and 74 are the same length except for the folding allowance as the outer edges of extension panels 59 and 60 between their scored diagonal lines 71 and are bounded at each end by scored diagonal lines 71 previously mentioned.
  • Lines 75 are creased normal to the outer edge of extension panel 63 from the ends of creased line 73, and lines 76 are likewise creased normal to the outer edge of extension,panel 64 from the ends of creased line 74.
  • the first step in erecting my box from the blank of Figure 8 is shown in Figure 9.
  • the corners of extension panels 59, 60, 63 and 64 are folded 180 degrees inwardly along creased diagonal lines 71. That folding of panels 63 and 64 aligns creased lines 75 with creased line 73 and creased lines 76 with creased line 74 so as to form flaps 77 and 78 respectively extending from creased lines 73 and 74.
  • Panel extensions 57, 59, 61, 63 and 65 are folded 90 degrees inwardly about their common boundary with panels 51, 52, 53, 54 and 55 respectively.
  • Tabs 69 and 70 are folded inwardly 90 degrees about their respective boundaries with panel extensions 65 and 66. Flap 77 is folded 90 degrees inwardly about creased line 73.

  • Cover sidepanel 51 together with extensions 57 and 58 is folded upwardly along its edge common to top panel 52.
  • Body side panel 53 is folded upwardly 90 degrees along its edge common to bottom panel 54, bringing panels 51 and 52 and their extensions with it.
  • Flap 78 is folded inwardly 90 degrees around line 74.
  • Extensions 61 and 62 of side panel 53 are folded inside panels 63 and 64 respectively and their tabs 67 and 68 are folded 90 degrees inwardly beneath flaps 77 and 78 respectively.
  • Body side panel 55 is folded 90 degrees upwardly about its edge common to panel 54 and its extensions 65 and 66 are likewise folded inside panels 63 and 64 respectively and their tabs 69 and 70 are folded inwardly beneath tabs 77 and 78. In this way an open box is formed.
  • My box so formed is closed as shown in Figures 11 and 12 by folding top panel 52 90 degrees inwardly about its edge common to side panel 53.
  • Top panel extensions 59 and 60 now folded into isosceles trapezoids, come down outside bottom panel extensions 63 and 64 respectively.
  • Panel extensions 57 and 58 are slotted as mentioned so as to form tuck tabs 79.
  • Slots 56 are co-extensive throughout their lengths with the diagonals 71 of adjoining end extensions 59 and 60 when the latter are folded as shown in Figure 10, and tuck tabs 79 are inserted under the trapezoidal bottom panel extensions 63 and 64 but over body side panel folded extensions 65 and 66 respectively, thus locking the box in the configuration shown in Figure 12.
  • the overlapping trapezoidal end extensions 60 and 64 on the end shown and 59 and 63 on the other end not shown give my box the appearance of a hand-wrapped package.
  • the body portion blank of Figure 13 comprises a body side panel 83, a bottom panel 84, and a second body sidepanel 85.
  • Panels 83, 84 and 85 have end extensions 91, 93 and 95 respectively on one side of the blank and end extensions 92, 94 and 96 respectively on the other side of the blank.
