Description

Plastic folding box.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a box plastic folding designed to minimize occupied space for the same during transport or storage in your situation not operational

It is an object of the invention that the folding box can be used as an open box or a closed box with the incorporating a lid, and having the possibility of fold its constituent elements and integrate the lid forming a compact folded unit of reduced volume.

It is also the object of the invention that the box folded, as well as the armed box, both in its open situation as closed, have means that facilitate stacking between boxes

Background of the invention

Folding plastic boxes are used due to its ease and speed of assembly in warehouse without the need for specialized labor or machinery, they are transportable unarmed forming packages to their place of employment and returned to their place of origin equally unarmed occupying a minimum space. This results in a reduction in the transport and storage costs compared to rigid boxes single piece

You can distinguish between a type of boxes that they have weakening lines and others that incorporate means of hinge to facilitate the dejection of its walls, as well how can you distinguish between those that have their walls collapsible outward being left unfolded ready for transport or those with the walls inward folding.

Also within the scope of folding boxes plastic is known a type of detachable plastic box that it consists of a central base with respect to which four articulate folding fins foldably attached to the central base that they form the side walls of the box, which complement each other with corner uprights that fit over the side edges of the adjacent fins establishing the assembly of the box.

Other anchoring systems that link the fins each other may consist of projections defined in the lateral edges of the fins that fit into holes defined in adjacent fins.

On the other hand some developments are known in which the folding box is equipped with means of insert for facilitate stacking between boxes, both in their armed situation As in your unarmed situation.

The boxes referred to above are boxes open for the transport of products and therefore easily accessible to its interior and do not contemplate the incorporation of a cover in its armed situation, nor in Your unarmed situation.

Description of the invention

The folding box that is the object of this invention adopts a constructive solution that facilitates assembly of the box for use with or without a lid, and integrate the lid into its disassembly situation to conform by folding and simple assembly a closed and compact set of small size that It is easily manageable and transportable.

The box is of the type that conform to from a central base with respect to which two walls articulate folding sides in opposite arrangement and that has two other removable walls equally facing in their mounting situation, the box being optionally topped in its armed situation by means of a cover.

The armed box has, both in its situation open as in its situation closed by the lid, of means of stacking defined on the base and on the lid or on the walls folding that facilitate the superimposed storage of boxes

Regarding the situation of stacking open armed boxes should be noted that the folding walls are equipped with a continuous U-section that is extends collaterally to the flat surface of the wall on its side  upper against which adjusts a first defined outer shoulder on the underside of the top stacked base.

Regarding the stacking of armed boxes closed the lid shows a central recess limited by a continuous promontory parallel to its perimeter edge over which fit the base of the upper box by means of the first protrusion exterior and a second more internal highlight equally defined in the underside of the base of the box.

When it is intended to reduce the volume occupied by the box for transport or storage the box is transformed from its armed situation to its compact configuration of folding, firstly untying the detachable walls with respect to the rest of the box, proceeding to continuation with the folding of the folding walls. Is contemplated that the base incorporates a perimeter band that extends superiorly and that delimits a receptacle into which they are introduced the removable walls, then fold towards the inside the folding walls that are thus superimposed on Removable walls

The removable walls will have been mounted collaterally inside the receptacle and show a sector prominent on its perimeter edge over which one of the wings of the continuous U-sector described above of the walls folding. Also the folding walls have some projections that protrude laterally and are intended for coupling in a notches defined in the perimeter band of the base to fix the retention position of said folding walls.

Then the cover is assembled on the set thus formed, which will be fitted on the outer face of the perimeter band of the base covering the detachable walls and folding walls integrated into the base obtaining a compact unit per folding of small size, Simple and convenient to transport.

Description of the drawings

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

The plastic folding box object of this invention part of the basic incorporation in its situation of armed with a base (1), four walls (2, 2 ', 3, 3'), of the which distinguishes a pair of folding walls (2, 2 ') faced, and optionally incorporates a cover (4).

The folding box, as shown in the figure 1, has a base (1) that has a horizontal sheet (5) from which a perimeter band is extended superiorly (6) with respect to which articulate the hinged walls (2, 2 '), being defined in its interior between said perimeter band (6) and the horizontal sheet a receptacle (7), as seen in the figure 2, in which a couple of removable walls (3, 3 ') is housed on which the pair of folding walls (2, 2 ') that falls they are retained in horizontal arrangement forming next to the cover (4), which fits over the perimeter band (6), a unit Compact compact, easily transportable volume.

The pair of folding walls (2, 2 ') has projections (8) that are introduced in defined notches (9) in the perimeter band (6) of the base (1) to ensure the retention of the folding walls (2, 2 ') in their compact situation folding

It is also noteworthy, as seen in the Figure 4, that the folding walls (2, 2 ') have a sector continuous in U (10) on its outer side, one of whose wings butts over a prominent sector (11) defined on the perimeter edge of the removable walls (3, 3 ') in their folding situation.

On the other hand, as observed in the Figure 8, in order to facilitate stacking between boxes without cover (4), in the armed situation, it is expected that the base (1) a first projection (12) that adjusts inferiorly is extended internally on the continuous U-section (10) of the wall folding (2, 2 ').

In figures 6 and 4 it is observed that for facilitate stacking between boxes with lid (4), both in the armed situation as in the folding, it is expected that in addition to the first highlight (12) the base (1) has a second highlight (13) next to the first highlight (12) among which fits a continuous promontory (14) defined in the cover (4) of the inferiorly arranged box, which extends parallel to its edge perimeter.
