Definitions

  • the invention relates to a blank of folding sheet material such as cardboard for the production of a box comprising a bottom and two pairs of side walls situated opposite each other and connecting thereto and having flanges running along the first pair of side walls at a distance from the top edge thereof, the blank comprising a bottom panel and two pairs of side wall panels situated opposite each other and connecting by means of fold lines to the bottom panel, the first pair of side wall panels having a first and second fold line, of which the first runs at a distance from the edge of the side wall panel facing away from the bottom panel which corresponds approximately to the width of the flange, and the second fold line runs at a distance parallel to the first fold line, which distance corresponds approximately to the distance of the flange from the top edge of the first pair of side walls of the box.
  • the invention also relates to a box produced from such blank.
  • a box of folding sheet material is that it is fairly simple and cheap to produce. With the aid of flanges running below the upper edges of the box, a relatively broad bearing face is present so boxes of this type can easily and properly be stacked even when they are made of thin walled solid cardboard and without the necessity of a lid.
  • the parts of the first pair of side walls projecting above the flanges prevent slipping of a box placed on top of the flanges in a direction perpendicular to the lengthwise direction of the flanges and can wedge it between them, so that slipping in the lengthwise direction of the flanges is limited.
  • these parts of the first pair of side walls projecting above the flanges, interacting with a box placed on the flanges, can prevent the box from bulging and thereby losing some load carrying capacity.
  • handling slits can be provided in a fairly simple manner in the first pair of side walls along which the flanges run. These slits always have to be provided at some distance below the edge of the box, in order to permit sufficient load carrying capacity. In the case of the box according to the present invention this can be achieved by providing the handling slits directly below the flanges. This means that the box need not be of greater height, which is the case with other boxes.
  • the second pair of side walls can be freely dimensioned. These walls can be, for example, greatly lowered for, for example, necessary throughflow apertures for air, without the functioning of the box being adversely affected.
  • a blank and box produced thereof as described in the preamble is known from US-A-2.588.455, BE-A-63.1250 or WO-A-88.02724.
  • the flanges are supported along their innermost edges by strips which are foldable connected to those edges and extend to and terminate at the bottom or the first pair of sidewalls of the box.
  • the supporting strip is either glued to the bottom or side wall or abuts against the bottom.
  • the side edges of the supporting strips are connected to the second pair of side walls by flaps foldably connected thereto.
  • the first side wall panel of the blank comprises a third fold line running parallel to the first and second fold lines, closest to and at a distance from the edge of the blank which corresponds to the height of the supporting strip.
  • the present invention makes a contribution to the problem outlined above.
  • the present invention provides a blank of the type mentioned in the introduction of the description and a box produced therefrom, in which the first pair of side wall panels further having two first side flaps lying opposite each other which by means of a third fold line running parallel to the side edges of said first pair of side wall panels are foldably fixed to the part of the side wall panel situated between the edge thereof facing away from the bottom panel and the first fold line to form corner pieces at the box.
  • the flanges are supported in a better way because they are connected to the second pair of side walls at their side edges without intervention of a supporting strip, increasing the strength of the box and allowing that solid card board can now be used.
  • the corners of the box are strengthened by the corner pieces, improving the loadability of the box in a stack even more. These corner pieces can be inside or outside the box.
  • the material consumption of a blank according to the present invention is decreased by two times the height of those strips when compared to blanks according to the patents mentioned.
  • the invention yields a recycable product with improved strength and efficient to produce.
  • first side flaps of the first pair of side wall panels of the blank according to the present invention have a fold line running approximately parallel to the first and second fold line to form extended reinforcement corner pieces.
  • additional angle sections extend along the height of the box and in the corners and are connected thereto, which are very effective in compression.
  • These reinforcement corner pieces can be situated on the inside or on the outside of the box, or on the inside along one side wall and on the outside along the other.
  • the first pair of side wall panels of the blank to produce such box has second side flaps lying opposite each other which are foldably fixed thereto between the edge of the first pair of side wall panels lying against the bottom panel and the second fold line to form additional corner reinforcements in the box.
  • Such blank has a rather complex design, but still consumes as much material as blanks according to the present invention with less features to strengthen the corners, since the second side flaps are situated in an area of the blank which is normally wasted.
  • These second side flaps can have two additional parallel fold lines lying at a distance from each other, to produce corner pieces with triangular cross section, which are very strong in compression.
  • This final preferred form of the box according to the present invention with the reinforcement corners and the additional corner reinforcements, has a large amount of material in the corners, which is beneficial for the bearing capacity.
  • the stacking strength of such box made of about 1 mm. thick solid cardboard is comparable to that of a typical wooden packing case.
  • the box according to the present invention in the form of a so-called "ready box", so that empty boxes can be folded up and then put into the ready state by means of a simple folding movement.
  • the second pair of side walls In order to make this possible, it is necessary for the second pair of side walls to have fold lines running from the bottommost corner points at an angle of approximately approximately 45° to the bottom edge of the second pair of side walls, and for the flanges to have fold lines running from the corner points at the side of the first pair of side walls at an angle of approximately 45° to the bottom edge of this first pair of side walls.
  • the box according to the present invention can also be formed in such a way that thickened parts or lips are situated above the flanges at the first pair of side walls, of which the edges form stops which can interact with stop edges located on the outside of the next box placed with the bottom on the abovementioned flanges. This measure ensures that a stacked box is virtually immovable in the plane of the flanges.
  • the sides thereof can form the stop edges which can interact with the thickened parts or lips above the flanges of the box on which it is situated.
  • Fig. 1 shows a box 1.
  • This box 1 has a bottom 2 which has to carry the product stored in the box.
  • a first pair of side walls 3, 3' lying opposite each other and a second pair of side walls 4, 4' lying opposite each other connect to the bottom 2.
  • Flanges 5, 5' lying approximately at right angles to the walls of this first pair of side walls 3, 3', and projecting into the box 1, run along the first pair of side walls 3, 3' at a distance from the top edge thereof. These flanges 5, 5' thus form a resting surface for the bottom of a box to be placed on said box 1.
  • the part of the first pair of side walls 3, 3' projecting above the flanges 5, 5' prevents a box placed on said box 1 from being able to slip in a direction parallel to the second pair of side walls 4, 4'.
  • the bottom side of a box placed on said box will prevent the top edges of the first pair of side walls 3, 3' from being able to move towards each other under the load of the contents of the box 1, which can occur if the bottom 2 thereof is not supported.
  • the so-called bulging of the second pair of side walls 4, 4' is avoided in this way, which is beneficial for the bearing capacity of the box 1.
  • each other reinforcement corner pieces 6, 6' and 7, 7' are provided, in this case being located entirely on the outside of the box 1.
  • the box 1 is reinforced at the places where the load of boxes placed on said box 1 acts, namely in the corners.
  • edges 10, 10' thereof form stops which can interact with the stop edges 9, 9' of the reinforcement corner pieces 6, 6' and 7, 7' of the next box placed on said box 1, as a result of which that box cannot slip in a direction parallel to the lengthwise direction of the first pair of side walls 3, 3' .
  • a very good nesting of boxes stacked on top of each other is obtained in this way.
  • Additional corner reinforcements 11 are then provided inside the box in the corners where the side walls connect to each other.
  • Fig. 1 thus shows a particularly stable box which is preferably very suitable for making out of solid cardboard, but can also be made of other foldable sheet material, and is suitable for being folded from a single blank and glued. Since this box 1 has very strong corners, the bearing capacity is increased greatly compared to existing cardboard boxes, while the production thereof has remained simple.
  • Such boxes can also be stacked neatly on top of each other and it is ensured that during, for example, transportation the connection between the individual stacked boxes is not lost, so that then also the boxes at the bottom of a stack remain uniformly loaded and will not give way.
  • Fig. 1 shows, it is easily possible without further ado to provide handling slits 12 in the first pair of side walls 3, 3', without the side walls having to be additionally raised for this.
  • Fig. 1 also shows that a part 13 of the second pair of side walls 4, 4' is simply folded over through 180°, so that large apertures are obtained between the individual boxes stacked on top of each other.
  • Fig. 2 shows in top view a quarter part of a blank for the production of the box 1 from Fig. 1.
  • the lines of symmetry of the whole blank along which the part shown in Fig. 2 is cut off are indicated by the dashed and dotted lines 50 and 51.
  • Parts of a bottom panel 100, one side wall panel of the first pair of side wall panels lying opposite each other and a side wall panel 101 of the second pair of side wall panels lying opposite each other are shown.
  • the side wall panels 101, 102 connect by means of fold lines 122 , 123 to the bottom panel 100.
  • the side wall panel 102 has a first fold line 111 and a second fold line 112.
  • the first fold line 111 runs at a distance from the edge 120 of the side wall panel 102 facing away from the bottom panel 100, which distance corresponds approximately to the width of the flange 5, 5' from Fig. 1.
  • the second fold line 112 runs at a distance parallel to the first fold line 111, which distance corresponds approximately to the distance of the flange 5, 5' from the top edge of the first pair of side walls 3, 3' of the box 1 from Fig. 1.
  • Situated between the first fold line 111 and the second fold line 112 is an opening 105 in the blank, with at one of the edges a lip-shaped element 106 which can form one of the lips 8, 8' in Fig. 1.
  • the side wall panel 102 also has a first side flap 103 which is foldably fixed, by means of a third fold line 113 running parallel to the side 121 of this side wall panel, to the part of the side 121 of the side wall panel 102 situated between the edge 120 facing away from the bottom panel 101 thereof and the first fold line 111.
  • This first side flap 103 also has a fold line 114 running approximately parallel to the first fold line 111 and the second fold line 112.
  • the side wall panel 102 of the blank of Fig. 2 has a second side flap 104.
  • This side flap 104 is foldably fixed between the edge 122 of the side wall panel 102 lying against the bottom panel 100 and the second fold line 112 to the side 121 thereof.
  • This second side flap 104 also has two additional parallel fold lines 115 and 116 respectively lying at a distance from each other.
  • An incision 125 and a fold line 124 are furthermore provided in the side wall panel 101 in order to be able to fold over the part 13 of the side wall 4, 4' from Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 3 shows how the blank part of Fig. 2 can be folded to a shape corresponding to that of a part of box 1 from Fig. 1.
  • An additional reinforcement at the position of the handling slit 12 can furthermore be achieved by folding the lip 131 in the side wall panel 102 inwards until it is against the bottom side of the flange 5' and glueing it thereon.
  • the lip 131 can also be removed.
  • Fig. 4 shows another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
  • the same reference numbers as those in Fig. 1 are used for the parts of the box 1 which have remained unchanged.
  • the second side flap 104 from Fig. 2 for the additional corner reinforcement 11 is now folded in such a way that the adhesive strip 16 is visible.
  • a lobe 14, 14' also projects through the flange 5'.
  • a recess is also provided in the flange 5', and in the part of the side wall 3' projecting above the flange 5'.
  • Fig. 5 also shows another example of an embodiment of the present invention.
  • the parts thereof remaining unchanged from those in Fig. 1 have the same reference numbers.
  • the reinforcement corner pieces 7, 7' are now situated between the second pair of side walls 4, 4' and the additional corner reinforcements 11. Since Fig. 5 shows a ready box as a variant of the present invention, additional fold lines 160, 160'; 161, 161' and 162 are present in the box 1.
  • the fold lines 160, 160' are situated in the second pair of side wall panels 4, 4' and run from the bottommost corner points thereof at an angle of approximately 45o to the bottom edge of the second pair of side walls 4, 4'.
  • the fold lines 161, 161' are situated in the flanges 5, 5' and run from the corner points thereof lying at the side of the first pair of side walls 3, 3' at an angle of approximately 45° to the bottom edge of this first pair of side walls 3, 3'.
  • the fold lines 162 are situated in the additional corner reinforcements 11 on the bisector of the angle between the first and the second pair of side walls 3, 3' and 4, 4' respectively. It is preferable here in the manner known per se to make the part of the additional corner reinforcement 11 in which the fold line 162 is situated (the part between fold lines 115 and 116 in Fig. 7) of such dimensions that in the state in which the box is being used this part remains creased around fold line 162. In this way the tolerances as regards folding and the position of the fold lines can be absorbed, on the one hand, and it also provides the possibility of putting the additional corner reinforcement 11 into the position creased around the fold line 162 after the box is brought into the state for use, as shown in Fig. 5, which improves the dimensional stability of the box.
  • a part of the second pair of side walls 4, 4' runs through to above the flange 5', which also means that nesting in the plane of the flange 5' of boxes 1 stacked on top of each other is ensured.
  • Fig. 6 it can be seen from another perspective view how a corner of the ready box of Fig. 5 can be folded up.
  • the side wall 4' is in this case folded inwards along fold line 160', the additional corner reinforcement 11 folds inwards along the fold line 162 and the flange 5' folds upwards, folding taking place around the fold line 161'.
  • the whole box can be folded together to form a flat pack, the side wall 4' with the part 13 resting on the bottom 2, while the side wall 3' again rests on the side wall 4'.
  • Fig. 7 The blank of Fig. 7 is largely the same as that of Fig. 2. Corresponding parts are therefore numbered the same. Compared with the blank according to Fig. 2, the following fold lines are added:
  • Fold line 160 in the second side wall panel 101 running at an angle of approximately 45° to the fold line 123 running along the bottom panel 100 from the corner point of the side wall panel 101 at the side of the bottom panel 100.
  • Fold line 161 in the first side wall panel 102 running at an angle of approximately 45° to the first fold line 111 from the end thereof, in the direction of the edge 120 facing away from the bottom panel 100.
  • Fig. 7 also shows that the side wall panel 101 is enlarged compared with Fig. 2 until past the dashed line with double dot, so that, inter alia, the part 170 projecting above the flange 5' in Fig. 5 is produced.
  • This can, of course, also be carried out in the case of the blank of Fig. 2.
  • the flange 5' of Figs. 1, 4 and 5 can be made of a strip of cardboard folded double.
  • the blank of Fig. 7 is extended past the edge 120 along, for example, the dashed lines with double dot 180, 181. In this extended part there is also a fold line 163, which is necessary for the ready box.
  • the extended part situated between the fold line 163 and the line 180 and 120 can be omitted.
  • the line 120 then becomes a fold line. This can also be achieved in the case of the blank according to Fig. 2, in which case the fold line 163 is not needed.
  • the adjacent part bounded by the dashed lines with double dot 182, 183, 184 can be, for example, cut away or stuck against the side wall panel 101, with the exception of the zones 172, 172'.
  • the additional corner reinforcement 11 can be a flat part, extending from the corner towards the centre of the box, deviding the corner into two parts. All kinds of different combinations of the above-mentioned features are also possible for achieving a box which is within the scope of the invention as described in the appended claims.
  • a box is provided with improved stacking strength, to be made from a single blank designed to minimise waste of material.
