Definitions
- the invention relates to a packing box made of natural fibre board, which is flat when folded closed and can be formed into the shape of a rectangular prism when folded open, and which packing box comprises an opposite base and lid as well as four walls which have the same dimensions in pairs regarding opposite walls.
- the object of this invention are medium-sized packing boxes with a volume of approximately 10-50 litres, even up to 500 or 1000 litres.
- the object of interest are particularly packages in which the package blank itself can be delivered to the packer in its folded form, that is, folded closed, and the package blank is folded open before use into its actual rectangular prism form for packing goods.
- the package blanks When the package blanks are folded closed, they can easily be stacked on top of each other, for example, in bundles on a pallet, making it easy to deliver and store them for their actual use.
- a further object of interest are packing boxes with a rectangular prism shape, which can be stacked on top of each other when packed.
- a typical example of folded package blanks are box blanks made from cardboard/corrugated cardboard by punching and scoring, which the user folds open into the shape of a box before use.
- the outer shape of the package blank and possible tabs and openings are made by punching, that is, compression cutting.
- scoring is made at the bending points so that the cardboard will fold as desired, for example, at the point between the base and the side wall.
- the air volume that creates the thickness of the board in scoring is compressed with a non-cutting blade, whereupon an easily foldable bending line is formed at the said point.
- corrugated cardboard is a practical material for packing, but limitations are encountered as the mass of the packaged product increases and the conditions become more humid. Corrugated cardboard loses its strength very easily when it gets wet; getting wet even slightly, for example, in the rain, is critically harmful in terms of the strength and appearance of the package.
- An object of the invention is to provide a solution which has the logistic convenience, that is, deliverability, of a corrugated cardboard box as closed-folded package blanks, which the user can easily and quickly finish into a box with a rectangular prism shape, as well as the strength properties of a natural fibre board in terms of bending stiffness, buckling strength, puncture strength and moisture resistance.
- a further object is to provide an environmentally friendly product which consists mainly of natural and naturally decomposing materials, or which can be burned as energy waste without significant pollutant emissions.
- plywood in particular would be attractive at present in terms of its properties, availability and price, and thus the aim is to provide a solution that would be adaptable to the use of plywood, especially spruce plywood.
- One embodiment of the invention is a packing box made of natural fibre board, which is flat when folded closed and can be formed into the shape of a rectangular prism when folded open, and which packing box comprises an opposite base and lid as well as four walls which have the same dimensions in pairs regarding opposite walls,
- the lid and the base are connected to one of the long walls of the said walls. This feature makes possible particularly advantageous foldability of the package blank as the walls and base as well as the lid of the packing box are placed evenly against each other.
- the walls and base as well as the lid of the packing box are connected to each other by means of a fabric strip.
- the fabric strip is preferably natural fibre strip, the strength and thickness of which form an almost equally strong structure with the walls.
- the fabric strip may be, for example, jute fabric or cotton with a basis weight of 250-500 g/m2, preferably 430 g/m2, with a width of 40-80 mm, in which case the strength and thickness form an almost equally strong structure with the walls made of 6 mm spruce plywood.
- the preferred basis weight may be 300-1000 g/m2.
- the fabric strip is attached to the walls, lid and base by riveting, in which case the attachment by riveting is most preferably done by using U-shaped rivets, staples or large-headed nails.
- the said examples can easily be attached by machine work, there are, for example, numerous pneumatic tools suitable for the purpose. When done in this way, the riveting ensures that the fabric strip is well pressed against the wall, lid or base, and does not tear easily.
- Figure 1 shows schematically an embodiment of the packing box 1 made of natural fibre board according to the invention, which is flat when folded closed and can be formed into the shape of a rectangular prism when folded open, and which packing box comprises an opposite base 2 and lid 3 as well as four walls 4, 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, which have the same dimensions in pairs regarding opposite walls 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d,
- the packing box 1 blank In its folded form, the packing box 1 blank is flat, in the blank the lid 3 and base 2 are on top of each other, next the walls 4 are in pairs, the short 4b, 4d and the long 4a, 4c wall in the same layer.
- the walls 4 are lifted up, whereupon the edges of the wall 4 form a tunnel-like structure.
- the base 2 is turned into place so that the lips 21 in the base (as can be seen in Figure 2 ) fall into place with respect to the walls 4.
- the mutual position of the walls 4, 4a,4b, 4c, 4d in relation to each other then forms into a rectangle when the lip 21 guides the walls 4, 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d into the correct position.
- the cross-section of the packing box 1 cannot even be other than a rectangle.
- the base 2 is then fixed by riveting by means of long rivets 7 or nails which pass through the walls 4, 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d. Riveting through the walls 4, 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d is a more advantageous alternative than riveting through the base 2.
- the rivets 7 will be positioned transversely to the load direction (the direction opening the base) in which case a rivet 7 would have to become cut in two or the wall 4, 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d would have to tear from the lower edge.
- the packing box 1 is turned over, with the newly attached base 2 facing down.
- the packing box 1 can be used for the planned purpose as intended, after which the lid 3 can be positioned in place and fastened as desired either making it easy for the user to open or more difficult to open.
- Figure 2 shows schematically an embodiment of the lip on the lid or base of the packing box according to the invention.
- the base 2 and the lid 3 have a structure twice as thick as that of the walls so that the outer dimensions of the outer layer of the base 2 and the lid 3 correspond to the outer dimensions of the finished packing box 1 and the dimensions of the inner layer correspond to the inner dimensions of the packing box 1, whereupon a lip 21, 31 is formed on the inner edge of the base 2 and the lid 3 for the wall 4, 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d.
- Figure 4 shows how, according to one embodiment of the invention, when the four walls have different dimensions with respect to the adjacent walls, the lid and the base are connected to one of the longer walls of the said walls.
- the connected walls form a layer comprised of two adjacent walls, on top of which is folded a layer comprised of the next two walls.
- the base and lid conveniently overlap when flat.
- it is advantageous to install that is, rivet the fabric strip to the walls as well as to the base and lid when they are in closed-folded flat form because the mutual mobility of the parts is then ensured and the fabric strip does not become too tight, which could potentially hinder assembly.
