Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to containers in general, and more particularly, to a foldable container.
  • flowers are among the most often given and most widely appreciated gifts.
  • the flowers can therefore not be put in water immediately, and the durability of the often expensive bouquet decreases.
  • This situation is known for example from a sick-visit in a hospital, where there often is a shortage of vases.
  • Another example may be receptions where the number of flower bouquets can be very large, but the possibility of putting the flowers in water is missing.
  • many flower givers thus settle for cellophane or paper-wrapped flowers with a tie string, together with a plain note card. This is typically a leaky and unimpressive manner of presentation, albeit inexpensive. It would be preferable to present flowers with an attractive, convenient, and decorative vase that even has an appropriate theme for the occasion, yet is inexpensive.
  • Folding paper containers are known in the prior art for holding or carrying objects. While known foldable containers, have proven to be acceptable for various applications, such devices are nevertheless susceptible to improvements that may enhance their performance and lower cost. With this in mind, a need exists to develop improved foldable containers that advance the art.
  • a container intended to hold a liquid and formed of a single-piece sheet of a stiff but foldable material.
  • the container of the present invention is movable between an expanded position and a folded position.
  • the container comprises a substantially rectangular bottom wall defined by four sides thereof, and four side walls hingedly connected to each other and to the bottom wall.
  • the side walls include first and second pairs of opposite side walls.
  • the container if the present invention further comprises a median fold line crossing the second pair of opposite side walls and the bottom wall so that each of the opposite side walls and the bottom wall are foldable along the median fold line, and two bottom fold lines formed on the bottom wall and extending substantially diagonally across the bottom wall so that the bottom wall is foldable along the bottom fold lines.
  • a blank for forming a foldable container is formed from a substantially flat single-piece sheet of foldable material and comprises a substantially rectangular base panel having four sides, four side panels radially outwardly extending from corresponding sides of the base panel and separated therefrom by four base fold lines defining the four sides of said base panel, and four sets of web panels each provided between each two of the side panels.
  • Each of the sets of web panels has a plurality of web panels hingedly connected to each other along web fold lines.
  • the four side panels include first and second pairs of opposite side panels.
  • the blank of the present invention further includes a plurality of side fold lines radially outwardly extending from the bottom panel for separating the sets of web panels and the side panels, a median fold line crossing the second pair of opposite side panels and the base panel so that each of the second pair of opposite side panels and the base panel are foldable along the median fold line, and two bottom fold lines formed on the bottom panel and extending substantially diagonally across the base panel so that the base panel is foldable along the bottom fold lines.
  • the foldable side walls can be imprinted, embossed, engraved, etched or otherwise decorated with indicia and can be easily and simultaneously used as a sign to promote the sale of goods and/or services in a commercial setting to promote an activity or event, or to convey any particular message in an office or other environment.
  • the foldable blank of this invention is easily manufactured and shipped, this enables a user to imprint a company logo, advertising promotional material, or any other message on the body panel and to display the same when the present device is utilized as a promotional container.
  • the blank is made of a lightweight, preferably resilient or flexible, material as will be hereinafter explained, it can be easily manufactured, transported and assembled for use as a container assembly.
  • the present assembly affords a user a simple arrangement to assemble, particularly, in a commercial environment where one is promoting and merchandising goods and/or services for short period of time with the constant need to replace one advertisement with another in a simple and inexpensive manner.
  • the present invention provides a foldable container which can easily receive printing to promote goods and/or services, convey a message or present a unique design.
  • the construction and operation of a container assembly can be packaged, stored and shipped in a substantially flat condition, and can be easily assembled without the use of tools or other fastener means for assembling the same. It will be appreciated that the present invention presents a container of very simple design and construction that is inexpensive to produce from a single-piece blank.

  • the method for forming the container 2, as shown in Figs. 8-10, from the blank 8, shown in Fig. 7, represents just one of a number of other methods of forming the container 2 from the blank 8. Any other appropriate method or sequence of folding the blank 8 to form the container 2 is within the scope of the present invention. It will be also appreciated that the particular method for forming the container 2 from the blank 8 is generally a matter of preference or choice.
  • the blank 8 may be imprinted, embossed or otherwise decorated with indicia such as a company logo, promotional material, or other data.
  • the foldable blank 8 forming the container 2 can be packaged, stored and furnished in substantially flat form and can be easily assembled.
  • Figs. 1 and 2A-2F the container 2 is shown in an operational, deployed state for use, for example, as a vase for flowers which can be natural since the container 2 may be impervious to water.
  • the fold line 96 together with the fold lines 92 and 94 give the container 2 a concertina-like construction enabling it to be folded into a flat state (folded position) as shown in Figs. 4 and 5.
  • the container 2 can be expanded (for example by manual pull) from the folded position into the expanded position (as shown in Figs. 1 and 2A-2D).
  • the resilience provided by the nature of the material, for example a paper, forming the blank 8 combined with the effect of the fold lines 92, 94 and 96 in the base panel 12 can cause or assist the container 2 to spring or pop up from its folded position in Figs. 4 and 5 into the expanded position in Figs. 1 and 2A-2D, with the base panel 12 adopting a convex (or slightly convex) configuration inwardly of the container 2.
  • a decorative surrounding band 102 may surround the flat container 2 to hold it in the folded position until the expanded container 2 is needed.
  • the inclination angle between the areas28A and 28B, and 32A and 32B may be obtuse.
  • the container 2 may be supplied with flowers, for example a bouquet, to provide a readily utilizable vase. Such a vase formed from a one-piece sheet will not leak easily because the blank 8 can be made of a water impermeable material.
  • the geometry of the side panels and the web panels of single-piece blank 8 and the folding arrangement of the container 2 is such that it allows the container 2 to hold a level of water high enough for the bouquet of natural flowers without leaking the water.
  • the present invention therefore provides a foldable container which can easily receive printing to promote goods and/or services, convey a message or present a unique design.
  • the construction and operation of a container assembly can be packaged, stored and shipped in a substantially flat condition, and can be easily assembled without the use of tools or other fastener means for assembling the same. It will be appreciated that the present invention presents a container of very simple design and construction that is inexpensive to produce from a single-piece blank.
