Definitions
- the invention relates to a box, in particular a box with corner reinforcements set up from a blank.
- a known box comprises for instance corner reinforcements which are formed from corner panels which are connected to first sidewall panels along a first folding line.
- the corner panels are each subdivided into three strips by two further folding lines extending substantially parallel to the first folding line.
- the corner panels are glued with a first strip, contiguous to the first folding line, to a second sidewall panel.
- the second strip is folded back against the first strip and glued thereto, and the third strip is glued against the first sidewall panel.
- corner panels are folded over to form tubular corner reinforcements having, for instance, a triangular, quadrangular or chevron-shaped cross section.
- the corner panels comprise at least three folding lines, which subdivide the corner panel into four strips.
- corner reinforcements enhance the stiffness and strength of the box, in particular the stacking or compression strength.
- material can be saved in that a lighter or thinner blank can be used.
- Such boxes after they have been set up from the blank, are often folded up so that the boxes can be transported to a user with a minimal volume. On site, the boxes can be folded out to allow them to be filled with desired products, such as, for instance, cucumbers.
- a drawback of these conventional boxes is that their resistance to unfolding is relatively high, which is unwanted from the viewpoint of user convenience. Further, the corners of such an unfolded box do not always remain erect in the desired initial position. The corner may spring back such that the box does not obtain the desired stability.
- the invention seeks to provide a box set up from a blank that can be transported in collapsed condition and that can be easily unfolded, while the box after unfolding remains in the desired position so that the box is stable.
- the invention provides a box set up from a blank of the type mentioned in the preamble, characterized in that the box comprises a bottom panel surrounded by upstanding first and second sidewall panels which are mutually connected by corner panels forming corner reinforcement, wherein each sidewall panel is connected to the bottom panel via a first folding line, wherein each corner panel is further connected to a fastening part provided on the first sidewall panel, wherein the fastening part extends at least partly from a remaining part of the first sidewall panel in a direction towards an interior space of the box, such that the fastening part at least partly stands away from the remaining part of the first sidewall panel, thereby defining a space between the fastening part and at least the remaining part of the first sidewall panel.
- the box can be easily unfolded. This is because, since the fastening part can move away from the first sidewall panels, the box is less rigid during unfolding and the corner of the box can be easily set up. Further, the respective fastening parts, which extend from the first sidewall panels towards an interior of the box, ensure that in unfolded condition of the box the corner remains in an erect condition with respect to the bottom panel.
- the fastening part in fact works as a retaining element, so that the corner cannot spring back to the collapsed position of the box.
- the box after it has been unfolded, obtains a certain dimensional stability and stacking strength that remains constant after the box has been folded out.
- the corner reinforcement according to the above-described construction ensures that the stacking strength of the box when not provided with a so-called bridge is sufficiently great to enable stacking of boxes provided with products. This provides a box which, while maintaining stacking strength, can be manufactured from a blank having a smaller surface than when the box is provided with a bridge, which results in less material use and hence in lower material cost.
- each first sidewall panel comprises a further folding line which extends substantially parallel to the first folding line, which further folding line divides the first sidewall panel into a first segment situated between the folding lines and a second segment situated against the first segment, wherein the fastening part is pivotably connected to the second segment.
- first sidewall panels provides panels of double-layer design that have a greater stacking strength than single-layer panels.
- sidewall panel having an improved stacking strength is favorable.
- the segments may optionally be fastened together, for instance through a glued joint, while the fastening part is not attached, so that it can move freely along, for instance, a folding line which is perpendicular to the folding line of the first sidewall panel.
- the second sidewall panel may be provided with a further folding line which extends substantially parallel to the first folding line, which further folding line divides the second sidewall panel into a first segment situated between the folding lines and a second segment forming a bridge, wherein the second segment, on sides situated near the first sidewall panels, is provided with connecting parts connected thereto, which connecting parts are connected to the respective first sidewall panels.
- a second segment of the second sidewall panel in a folded-out condition of the box, provides the bridge.
- Such a bridge can for instance be substantially parallel to the bottom panel and extend along an upper side of the second sidewall panel between the two first sidewall panels.
- the bridge is fastened to the first sidewall panels with the aid of the connecting parts.
- these may be attached to the first sidewall panels in different ways.
- the connecting parts may for instance be inserted into the above-described space between the fastening part and the remaining part of the respective first sidewall panels.
- the invention thus provides a flexible box which can easily be adapted to the wishes of the user.
- the invention further relates to a blank for a box according to the invention, comprising a substantially quadrangular bottom panel, first and second sidewall panels situated opposite each other in pairs, which are pivotably connected to the bottom panel along folding lines, corner panels which are pivotably connected to the first sidewall panels along first folding lines, wherein each first sidewall panel comprises a further folding line which extends substantially parallel to the first folding line, which further folding line divides the first sidewall panel into a first segment situated between the folding lines and a second segment situated against the first segment, wherein the fastening part is pivotably connected to the second segment, at least to a side thereof situated near the corner panel.

- the blank P furthermore comprises four corner panels 12, each subdivided into two segments 12a, 12b by a folding line 11a, 11b.
- the folding lines 11a, 11b extend substantially in line with the folding lines 7 between the first segments 8a and second segments 8b of the first sidewall panels 4. It is noted that the term folding line in the present application should be interpreted broadly.

Description
- The invention relates to a box, in particular a box with corner reinforcements set up from a blank.
- Such boxes are known. A known box comprises for instance corner reinforcements which are formed from corner panels which are connected to first sidewall panels along a first folding line. The corner panels are each subdivided into three strips by two further folding lines extending substantially parallel to the first folding line. The corner panels are glued with a first strip, contiguous to the first folding line, to a second sidewall panel. The second strip is folded back against the first strip and glued thereto, and the third strip is glued against the first sidewall panel.
- Further known are boxes in which the corner panels are folded over to form tubular corner reinforcements having, for instance, a triangular, quadrangular or chevron-shaped cross section. In the latter two cases, the corner panels comprise at least three folding lines, which subdivide the corner panel into four strips. Such corner reinforcements enhance the stiffness and strength of the box, in particular the stacking or compression strength. Furthermore, material can be saved in that a lighter or thinner blank can be used. Such boxes, after they have been set up from the blank, are often folded up so that the boxes can be transported to a user with a minimal volume. On site, the boxes can be folded out to allow them to be filled with desired products, such as, for instance, cucumbers.
- A drawback of these conventional boxes is that their resistance to unfolding is relatively high, which is unwanted from the viewpoint of user convenience. Further, the corners of such an unfolded box do not always remain erect in the desired initial position. The corner may spring back such that the box does not obtain the desired stability.
- Accordingly, the invention seeks to provide a box set up from a blank that can be transported in collapsed condition and that can be easily unfolded, while the box after unfolding remains in the desired position so that the box is stable.
- To this end, the invention provides a box set up from a blank of the type mentioned in the preamble, characterized in that the box comprises a bottom panel surrounded by upstanding first and second sidewall panels which are mutually connected by corner panels forming corner reinforcement, wherein each sidewall panel is connected to the bottom panel via a first folding line, wherein each corner panel is further connected to a fastening part provided on the first sidewall panel, wherein the fastening part extends at least partly from a remaining part of the first sidewall panel in a direction towards an interior space of the box, such that the fastening part at least partly stands away from the remaining part of the first sidewall panel, thereby defining a space between the fastening part and at least the remaining part of the first sidewall panel.
- Through this construction of the corner reinforcements with respect to the sidewall panels, that is, with the respective corner panels being connected to a pivotable fastening part of the first sidewall panels, the box can be easily unfolded. This is because, since the fastening part can move away from the first sidewall panels, the box is less rigid during unfolding and the corner of the box can be easily set up. Further, the respective fastening parts, which extend from the first sidewall panels towards an interior of the box, ensure that in unfolded condition of the box the corner remains in an erect condition with respect to the bottom panel. The fastening part in fact works as a retaining element, so that the corner cannot spring back to the collapsed position of the box. As a result, the box, after it has been unfolded, obtains a certain dimensional stability and stacking strength that remains constant after the box has been folded out. Also, the corner reinforcement according to the above-described construction ensures that the stacking strength of the box when not provided with a so-called bridge is sufficiently great to enable stacking of boxes provided with products. This provides a box which, while maintaining stacking strength, can be manufactured from a blank having a smaller surface than when the box is provided with a bridge, which results in less material use and hence in lower material cost.
- To further enhance the stacking strength of the box, it is favorable that according to a further elaboration of the invention each first sidewall panel comprises a further folding line which extends substantially parallel to the first folding line, which further folding line divides the first sidewall panel into a first segment situated between the folding lines and a second segment situated against the first segment, wherein the fastening part is pivotably connected to the second segment. Such a design of the first sidewall panels provides panels of double-layer design that have a greater stacking strength than single-layer panels. Especially in the case where the box is made from solid cardboard, such a sidewall panel having an improved stacking strength is favorable. The segments may optionally be fastened together, for instance through a glued joint, while the fastening part is not attached, so that it can move freely along, for instance, a folding line which is perpendicular to the folding line of the first sidewall panel.
- When it is desired that the box is provided with a bridge, that is, a flap provided along a sidewall of a box, situated substantially perpendicularly thereto, then, in a further advantageous elaboration of the invention, the second sidewall panel may be provided with a further folding line which extends substantially parallel to the first folding line, which further folding line divides the second sidewall panel into a first segment situated between the folding lines and a second segment forming a bridge, wherein the second segment, on sides situated near the first sidewall panels, is provided with connecting parts connected thereto, which connecting parts are connected to the respective first sidewall panels. Such a second segment of the second sidewall panel, in a folded-out condition of the box, provides the bridge. Such a bridge can for instance be substantially parallel to the bottom panel and extend along an upper side of the second sidewall panel between the two first sidewall panels. The bridge is fastened to the first sidewall panels with the aid of the connecting parts. Depending on the shape and the dimensions of the connecting parts, these may be attached to the first sidewall panels in different ways. The connecting parts may for instance be inserted into the above-described space between the fastening part and the remaining part of the respective first sidewall panels. This makes it possible that the box can be filled with the desired products and that the bridge cannot be positioned and fixed until after filling. As a consequence, the filling opening of the box is maximal during filling, so that the products can be simply placed in the box. Also, it is possible that the connecting parts are glued to the first sidewall panels. Such a box has a greater stacking strength than when the connecting parts are inserted. As a consequence, however, the filling opening then has a more limited magnitude.
- The invention thus provides a flexible box which can easily be adapted to the wishes of the user.
- The invention further relates to a blank for a box according to the invention, comprising a substantially quadrangular bottom panel, first and second sidewall panels situated opposite each other in pairs, which are pivotably connected to the bottom panel along folding lines, corner panels which are pivotably connected to the first sidewall panels along first folding lines, wherein each first sidewall panel comprises a further folding line which extends substantially parallel to the first folding line, which further folding line divides the first sidewall panel into a first segment situated between the folding lines and a second segment situated against the first segment, wherein the fastening part is pivotably connected to the second segment, at least to a side thereof situated near the corner panel.
- Such a blank provides similar advantages and effects to those mentioned in respect of the above-described box set up from a blank.
- In the further dependent claims, further advantageous embodiments are described of a box according to the invention and a blank suitable therefor.

Fig. 1 shows a blank P for setting up a box 1 (seeFigs. 2 and3 ) according to the invention. The blank P is manufactured from cardboard, in particular solid cardboard or corrugated cardboard. The blank P comprises aquadrangular bottom panel 2, a pair of opposedfirst sidewall panels 4 which are pivotably connected to thebottom panel 2 alongfolding lines 3, and a pair of opposedsecond sidewall panels 6 which are pivotably connected to thebottom panel 2, alongfolding lines 5, which extend substantially at right angles to thefolding lines 3. Eachfirst sidewall panel 4 comprises afurther folding line 7 which extends substantially parallel to thefirst folding line 3. This furthersecond folding line 7 divides therespective sidewall panels 4 into twosegments first segment 8a is situated between the first andsecond folding lines second segment 8b extends from thesecond folding line 7 in a direction away from thefirst segment 8a. Thesecond segment 8b comprises twofastening parts 8c, pivotably provided on both sides of thesegment 8b, which are situated near therespective corner panels 12. The fasteningparts 8c can be pivotable about afolding line 24 and are separated from thefirst segment 8a through apartial cut 7a of thefolding line 7. Thesecond segment 8b and thefastening parts 8c provided thereon in total have substantially a same or lesser length L1 than thefirst segment 8a. When forming the box 1, thesecond segment 8b inclusive of thefastening parts 8c is folded about thesecond folding line 7 towards an interior I of the box 1, such that thesecond segment 8b comes to lie against thefirst segment 8b (seeFig. 2 ), so that thefirst sidewall panel 4 is of double-layer design. Optionally, thesecond segment 8b may be glued onto thefirst segment 8a of thefirst sidewall panel 4. - The
second sidewall panels 6 in this exemplary embodiment of the invention are provided with asecond folding line 9 dividing also thesecond sidewall panel 6 into twosegments second folding line 9 is provided substantially parallel to thefirst folding line 5 of thesecond sidewall panel 6. Thesecond segment 10b, the segment forming the bridge 26 (seeFig. 3 ), extends from thesecond folding line 9 of thefirst segment 10a. Thesecond segment 10b forming thebridge 26 has substantially a same length L2 as thefirst segment 10a. Thesecond segment 10b forming thebridge 26 is provided on bothsides 10c thereof with connectingparts 18 pivotably connected to thesecond segment 10b. These connectingparts 18 can be connected to the respectivefirst sidewall panels 4 in order to form abridge 26 on two opposite sides of the box 1, which bridges 26 extend substantially in a plane parallel to thebottom panel 2. Such connectingparts 18, when setting up the box 1, may be inserted between thefastening parts 8c and thefirst segment 8a of the first sidewall panels 4 (seeFigs. 2 and3 ) or, in an alternative embodiment of the invention, be glued to thefirst sidewall panels 4. Also, in an alternative embodiment, thebridges 26 may be omitted. - Furthermore, each
second sidewall panel 6 in the exemplary embodiment shown is provided with two diagonal folding lines 17. This makes the box 1 to be set up from the blank P a so-called ready-for-use box. This is a box 1 which can be supplied withsidewall panels sidewall panels tabs 19 which can be inserted intorecesses 21 provided in thebottom panel 2 for that purpose. Thediagonal folding lines 17,tabs 19 and/or recesses 21 may be omitted in an alternative embodiment. The corner reinforcements 22 (seeFig. 2 ) and thefastening parts 8c fastened thereto, in the folded-out condition of the box 1, extend in the direction R1 towards an interior I of the box 1, so that the corner is fixed with respect to thebottom panel 2. - The blank P furthermore comprises four
corner panels 12, each subdivided into twosegments folding line folding lines folding lines 7 between thefirst segments 8a andsecond segments 8b of thefirst sidewall panels 4. It is noted that the term folding line in the present application should be interpreted broadly. Thus, folding lines may be bending lines, perforated lines, half cut folding lines or completely cut lines. In this case, thefolding line line 11a and partly a halfcut folding line 11b. Thecorner panels 12 are pivotably fastened with afirst segment 12a to both sides of thefirst segments 8a of thefirst sidewall panels 4, alongfirst folding lines 15a. Eachfirst segment 12a is divided into two strips S1, S2 by afurther folding line 15b which extends substantially parallel to thefirst folding line 15a. Eachsecond segment 12b is divided into similar strips S1, S2, S3 throughfolding lines second segment 12b of thecorner panel 12 may be provided at least partly pivotably on the strips S1, S2 of thefirst segment 12a of thecorner panel 12. Thefolding lines instance folding line 15b of thefirst segment 12a of thecorner panel 12 is a bending line, andfolding line 15b of thesecond segment 12b of thecorner panel 12 is a perforated line. In this way, the folding resistance of thecorner panel 12 about thefolding line 15b, that is, when thesegment 12b has been folded over thefolding line first segment 12a, is relatively low. What is thus effected is that thecorner panels 12 can be folded up with relatively little force to form theeventual corner reinforcements 22 of the box 1. -
Fig. 2 shows schematically in top plan view a corner of a box 1 which can be set up from the blank P according toFig. 1 . To this end, the secondcorner panel segment 12b has been folded upwards from the plane of the drawing, along foldingline corner panel segment 12a. Thecorner panel segments layer corner panel 12 is obtained, with the firstcorner panel segment 12a forming a first corner panel layer and the secondcorner panel segment 12b forming a second corner panel layer. - Next, the
corner panel 12, at least strip S2 and S3, has been folded about thefurther folding line 15b (up from the plane of the drawing) and strip S3 has been folded back in opposite direction about thefurther folding line 15c. After this, the respectivesecond segments 8b of thefirst sidewall panels 4 have been folded about the folding line 7 (up from the plane of the drawing) and placed onto thefirst segments 8a. Thefastening parts 8c are pivotable both with respect to thefirst segment 8a and with respect to thesecond segment 8b in a direction up from the plane of the drawing. Optionally, the first andsecond segments fastening part 8c is not secured. Thecorner panels 12, at least the strips S3 thereof, have thereupon been secured against thefastening parts 8c. After this, thecorner panels 12 can have been secured against thesecond sidewall panels 6 in a conventional manner, for instance with glue, while the strip S1 of thesecond segment 12b of thecorner panel 12 may be secured against thefirst segment 10a of thesecond sidewall panel 6. When thecorner panels 12 have been secured, aspace 20 has been created between thefastening parts 8c and thefirst segments 8a of thefirst sidewall panels 4 in that thefastening parts 8c extend in the direction R1 towards an interior I of the box 1. Further, a space 25 between the strips S1, S2 of the corner panels may have been created. - The thus obtained box 1 is accordingly provided with
corner reinforcements 22, which extend against thefastening part 8c of the first sidewall panel and against thesecond sidewall panel 6. Surprisingly, it has been found that with such corner reinforcements 22 a high stacking strength can be obtained, while moreover the load-bearing capacity of the blank material is utilized optimally. -
Fig. 3 schematically shows in top plan view a corner of a box 1 as set up and shown inFig. 2 . InFig. 3 it can further be seen that the box 1 is provided with asegment 10b forming abridge 26, while the connectingparts 18 provided on thesegment 10b forming thebridge 26 have been inserted into thespace 20. For thebridge 26 to be formed, before the box 1 has been put together, thesecond segment 10b of thesecond sidewall panel 6 has been folded about foldingline 9 up from the plane of the drawing, and so have the connectingparts 18. After the box 1 has been set up at a user and has been filled with products, for instance cucumbers, the connectingparts 18 have been inserted into thespace 20 and thesegment 10b forming thebridge 26 is situated substantially parallel to thebottom panel 2 of the box 1. The connectingparts 18 may also be glued, for instance, to an outwardly facing side of thefirst segment 8a of thefirst sidewall panel 4. Such connectingparts 18 can then have a different shape or different dimensions than the connectingparts 18 as shown inFig. 1 , as represented inFig. 4 . -
Fig. 4 shows an alternative embodiment of a blank P according to the invention, at least one corner thereof. The other corners are identical, though mirrored with respect to the X and Y axes. InFig. 4 parts corresponding to the blank P ofFig. 1 are designated with corresponding reference numerals. The chief difference with respect to the blank P ofFig. 1 is that the connectingparts 18 of thesecond sidewall panels 6 have substantially a larger surface than the connectingparts 18 according to the first embodiment of the blank P according to the invention. Such connectingparts 18 are not suitable to be inserted into thespace 20 but can be fastened, for instance using glue, to an outer side of thefirst sidewall panel 4, at least of thefirst segment 8a of thesidewall panel 4. Such boxes have a relatively high stacking strength. Naturally, in other embodiments of the invention the connectingparts 18 can have different shapes and dimensions. - Naturally, in other embodiments of the invention, also the
corner panels 12 can have a different shape and different folding lines. Also, different modes of folding thesecorner panels 12 are possible. Thus, the third strip S3 of thecorner panel 12 may be folded in the same direction as the strip S2 of thecorner panel 12. The third strip S3 is then fastened with the other side thereof against thefastening part 8c of thefirst sidewall panel 4. In this way, atubular corner reinforcement 22 of a triangular cross section is obtained. - The exemplary embodiments described and shown above have in common that the
corner panels 12 can be folded over with relatively little folding resistance when thefolding line 15b comprises in part a bending line and in part a perforated line or a half cut line. The required folding force is of the same order of magnitude as the folding force that is needed for folding over the remaining (single-layer) blank parts. - The invention is not limited in any way to the exemplary embodiments shown in the description and the drawing. All combinations of (parts of) embodiments described and/or shown are understood to fall within the concept of the invention. Moreover, many variations thereon are possible within the framework of the invention outlined by the claims.
- Thus, the
corner panel 12 may be built up from loose blank parts, with only one of these parts being pivotably connected to asidewall panel corner panels 12 may be built up from more than two layers. - The
corner panel 12 may be subdivided through further folding lines into more than three strips. Such acorner panel 12 can be folded into anycorner reinforcement 22 known per se, for instance a tubular corner profile having a triangular or polygonal cross section, while in each case a strip of thecorner panel 12 is connected to thefastening part 8c. Also, such acorner reinforcement 22 may be provided in a box which cannot be folded up. Such a box has a relatively high stacking strength and dimensional stability while material use is relatively low. - These and many variations are understood to fall within the framework of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
