Definitions

• the invention relates to a six-sided folding or folding box in cube or cuboid shape. Of the six sides, one forms a bottom wall and four further side walls, each of which is connected in a hinge-hinged manner by folding bellows arranged in the corner areas of the box.
• the folding box can be erected from a flat position, in which the bellows are pulled apart flat, to a raised or raised position, in which the bellows are compressed, via the latter and the foldable attachment of the side walls to the bottom wall. In the flat position, the respective layout of the bellows is divided into an inner and an outer area by a diagonal or oblique hinge axis.
• the respective inner and outer areas of the bellows are raised from the flat starting position via the respective diagonal or oblique hinge axis (obliquely to a box center axis or symmetry axis) and swiveled towards one another.
• the respective outer area of a bellows is also attached to the nearest side wall, for example by gluing.
• the invention relates to a manufacturing method for such a folding box using an elongated flat blank which has in its longitudinal direction at least three successive sections which are delimited from one another by transverse hinge joint axes.
• the middle section serves to form the bottom wall
• the first and third sections which can optionally form end sections, serve to form parallel side walls.
• a folding box of about this type is known from FR-A-2415 581. It proposes to produce the six sides (four side walls, bottom wall, one or more cover parts) of the folding box from a single cut from semi-rigid cardboard material with an essentially rectangular basic shape.
• the hinge axes are realized by indented bending lines.
• the blank can be folded out from a flat initial state, in which it takes up little space while saving storage and logistics space, in a few simple steps to an accommodating box with raised side walls.
• the bellows is attached with a partial surface to an adjacent side wall, for example glued.
• FR-A-2 415 581 it is proposed to apply an adhesive coating to the relevant partial surfaces of the bellows areas before the folding and setting up and while the rectangular blank is being cut to length.
• a congruent inner side area of the assigned side wall section is expediently to be coated with adhesive.
• the surfaces of the outer bellows area and the congruent inner side area of the associated side wall must be brought into contact with one another by folding and pivoting operations.
• the folding box blank must already be cut to length from the cardboard tape.
• the bellows are integrally formed with the blank for the folding box, only semi-rigid cardboard material can be used for the blank; otherwise it would hardly be possible to erect the side walls of the box because the bellows are too rigid, the halves of which have to be bent out of the starting plane and swiveled towards one another.
• EP-A-0 613 827 describes a foldable container which can be raised from one level and which is said to be particularly suitable for use as a glasses case.
• a housing with a triangular cross section is provided, the wall sections of which can be folded onto one another in one plane.
• an additional folding system is assigned to the side walls. It is proposed to form the individual surfaces of the folding system in one piece from a coherent folding surface, the ends of which come to rest on one side wall of the folding box and abut one another.
• the folding system is attached to the inside of the side walls by gluing.
• the invention has for its object to simplify the manufacture and speed up in a six-sided folding or folding box with a square plan, which can be erected and folded flat using bellows.

• To solve the folding box specified in claim 1 and the manufacturing method specified in claim 13 are proposed.
• Advantageous, optional training courses result in whole or in part from the dependent claims.
• this side wall-bellows composite can be handled separately from the basic blank for the folding box as an additional blank during the manufacturing process.
• the additional blank is structured in a relatively simple manner and can be quickly attached to the main or basic blank in series, for example, before the main blank is cut to length, for example glued on.
• a folding over or folding of the blank side edges inwards, which requires the blank to be cut to length beforehand, can advantageously be omitted in the invention.
• Another advantage that can be achieved with the invention results from the different material properties and thickness, which according to the invention is possible between the main cut and the additional cut.
• Rigid cardboard can be used for the cut sections from which the side walls, the bottom wall and possibly the top wall are to be made, whereas for other box parts, in particular the bellows, thinner, less rigid material can be used.
• an expedient training of the invention consists in realizing the end sections associated with the bellows with a smaller material thickness than the central section responsible for the side wall when the additional blanks are cut.
• the folding box according to the invention consists of three pieces, namely a main blank and two additional blanks glued to it on the inside, each of which forms one of two opposite side walls and is integrated in one piece with bellows at both ends.
• a manufacturing method according to the invention then consists in that on the area of the blank, the inside of the box is assigned, on the longitudinal edges of which are preferably attached at a distance from each other flat attachable and hinged add-ons.
• the rigid, hinge-jointed cuboid and cube sides are arranged so that the folding box can be folded apart and folded flat.
• the set-up state can be stabilized by a closure which is located in a narrow side when the box is rectangular and in the set-up state.
• a magnetic lock integrated in the narrow side is preferably used. This can advantageously be structurally integrated into two overlapping parts of a narrow side.

• the closure flap is structurally integrated with a first closure element, which is assigned a second complementary closure element in a side wall of the box, which is the closest to the closure flap in the raised / erected state of the box.
• the locking tab can now be brought into contact with the nearest side wall, an operative connection, in particular adhesive connection, being created between the first and the second locking element.
• the closure flap is brought into fixed contact with the nearest side wall, the bellows being pressed together and, at the same time, the side walls of the box being pressed against one another standing upright.
• the side walls are held upright against each other, thus stabilizing the folding box overall in the raised position.
• the cohesion can be further strengthened in that, after an optional design, the cover wall is connected by a hinge to the side wall that runs parallel to the side wall with the complementary closure element.
