Description

  The present invention relates to a material, a method, and a set of materials for assembling a box.

  Applicants of the present application are aware that boxes are typically assembled from materials with shapes, crease patterns and / or cuts designed to provide boxes of a particular shape, size and configuration. Specific molds are prepared for the production of specific boxes.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, a box-working material made of a sheet material is provided with a fold pattern, and the pattern is made of a plurality of shapes, dimensions and / or configurations from the material. A material is provided that is selected so that a box with any one can be assembled.

  The fold pattern is a diagonal parallel line grid or vertical and horizontal, and at least some of the folds forming the grid or vertical and horizontal do not intersect, that is, the diagonal parallel line in the form of a broken line It may be a grid or vertical and horizontal.

  Thus, in the position where the folds will intersect-not in fact-the folds extend radially outward from said position.

  A crease is understood to mean any line with reduced strength, such as an indicator line, a line by embossing, a line by perforation, a cut line, a wrinkle, or a line that has been bent in advance.

  The pattern can be selected such that a box having any one of a plurality of shapes, dimensions and / or configurations can be assembled from the material. The shape and / or dimensions of the assembled box are determined by the dimensions of the sheet material.

  The pattern includes a plurality of first folds arranged in parallel at intervals, and a plurality of second folds arranged in parallel at intervals to cross the plurality of first folds. be able to. One or more of the plurality of second folds arranged in parallel at intervals may intersect with the plurality of first folds arranged in parallel at intervals.

  A plurality of first and second folds arranged in parallel at intervals can define a quadrangular row and column on the surface of the material, each quadrilateral shape being adjacent by a crease. It is divided into.

  Each of the quadrilateral shapes defined by the plurality of first and second folds may have the same four sides, that is, a square shape.

  Furthermore, the pattern may have a plurality of third folds arranged in parallel at a certain angle with respect to the plurality of first and second folds.

  Further, the pattern has a plurality of fourth folds that are arranged in parallel with a certain angle with respect to the plurality of first and second folds and that cross the plurality of third folds. You may do it. One or more of the plurality of fourth folds may intersect one or more of the plurality of third folds.

  The material may comprise instructions for folding, connecting and / or cutting the material to the person so that a person can assemble a box of the desired shape, size and / or configuration.

  The instructions may be printed on the material.

  The material may be provided with a decorative display by printing or embossing. The display may be a display by foil stamping.

  The plurality of third and fourth folds may be diagonal with respect to a rectangular shape defined by the plurality of first and second folds arranged in parallel at intervals.

  Each of the quadrilateral shapes defined by the multiple third and fourth folds may have the same four sides, i.e., may be square.

  The sheet material may be suitably strong paper, plastic coated paper, plastic, paperboard, cardboard, corrugated paper, plastic laminated paper, extruded two-wall plastic plate, and the like.

A connector is provided in which the crease pattern is designed to allow the connector to be cut and / or folded to connect by gluing in a completely overlapping position.

  The connector may be foldable. The connector may be foldable by making it from a flexible material, or the connector may be made of a rigid material that is made foldable by providing a fold.

  The panel can be adhered and connected by a connector, and at least a part of the box can be defined by the panel.

  In one embodiment, the connector can be made from 100 micron polypropylene—a matte white material—having a 45 gram paper foil adhesive layer.

The connection tool can be a generally square shape,
A first pair of fold lines that are close to a line dividing the connector into two rectangular shapes, extend from one side of the connector to the opposite side, and are arranged in parallel at intervals, and the first in parallel A fold extending from one of the pair of folds to the nearest side and extending substantially along a line dividing the connector into two rectangular shapes can be provided.

  Further, the crease pattern is close to the line dividing the connector into two rectangular shapes, and extends in parallel with a distance extending from the other of the first pair of creases to the nearest side. A second pair of folds can be provided.

  Furthermore, the crease pattern may comprise one or more diagonal folds.

  It is preferable that the connection tool also functions as a reinforcing means for reinforcing the assembled box panel.

  In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, an elongated signage made of a flexible sheet material, having an adhesive on one surface, the adhesive surface can be folded into two matching halves that adhere to each other. A sign is provided that is symmetric along a crease provided across the width of the sign.

  Further, the marking tool may include a pair of opposed creases provided so as to cross the width of the marking tool in the vicinity of both ends of the marking tool.

  Further, the marking tool may be provided with a pair of opposing holes, or a pair of opposing marks indicating positions where a person can open the opposing holes. The hole or landmark can be located near both ends of the marking tool.

  According to a further aspect of the present invention, there is provided a set of materials for assembling the box, the set of materials having the aforementioned box materials, connectors and / or elongated markings.

  The set of materials can include cutting tools and / or decorative articles that are added to the assembled box.

  According to another aspect of the present invention, a method for making a box, selected so that a box having any one of a plurality of shapes, dimensions and / or configurations can be assembled. A method is provided that includes providing a box working material provided with a crease pattern.

  The present invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings.
