Description

[Detailed description of the invention] collapsible shipping box The invention relates to a foldable device of the kind mentioned in the introduction of claim 1. Regarding shipping boxes. Various types of boxes for transportation are known, and these are used. It can be returned to the folded state after use, thus saving space and maintenance costs.

This type of shipping box is necessarily provided with a binding device, which allows the box to be assembled When the walls are connected, join adjacent walls together to connect them to each other. Being able to maintain a beast relationship relative to others. Furthermore, handling them For convenience, it is advantageous if the box has a handle.

It is an object of the invention to provide a shipping box of the above-mentioned type, which With an efficient coupling device for embodiments with handles for convenient handling Combined with good stability in assembled condition.

The above object is achieved by constructing a shipping box as stated in the characterizing part of claim 1. This can be achieved by combining 1! into this structure. Two parts: shrine and handle functions are performed by these elements.

In order to further stabilize the shipping box, it is possible to A locking device such as this can be provided. These locking devices are in the assembled state. It can also be used when folded.

The accompanying drawings show a collapsible animal transport box according to the invention.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of this embodiment in an assembled state.

FIG. 2 is a top view of an example of the same blind when it is not folded at all.

FIG. 3 is a view of the embodiment in the folded condition.

The box consists of a casing 1 and an end wall 2.2a, said end wall having a butterfly'#118.19. 20.21 to the bottom 4 of the box. The casing is foldable Along the lines or line portions 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, the first long side 3 and the bottom 4, a second long side 5, a top 6 and a flap 7, said flap In the assembled state, the lock@l? ! 8.8a to the first long side 3 Can be fixed. The locking device 18.88 is inserted into the flash through the hole 15.158. 7 and hold it over the edge of the hole 16.16a in the same long side 3 and the flap 7 and the long side 3 together firmly and in this way close the case. The thing forms a cylindrical II structure. The ends of the box 12.28 are identical isosceles trapezoidal metal It has handles 9, 9a on its top and sides.

10.10a and 11.11a are provided, and these are in the assembled state of the box. slots 12.12a in the top 6 and long sides 3.5 of the box. 13. 13a.

14.14a, which maintains the shape of the box.

The box is removed from the locking devices 28, 8a, and the flap 7 and top 6 of the casing are removed. It can be folded by opening the long side 5 of the handle 9.9a, 1. 0.10a and 11.11a are slot holes 12.12a and 13.13a.

14. Extracted from 14a. The end wall is folded towards the bottom 4 and its Later the flap 7 and the top 6 are folded inward towards the length 11 5. then long The sides 3°5 are folded inward against each other, thus separating the top with the flap. The supporting long side 5 will be at the bottom, and finally the top long side 3 will be locked. connected to the lower long side 5 by means of a device 8.88, said locking device being connected to the upper long side 5; Grip through the hole 16.16a in the length side 3 and through the hole 1 in the lower length side 5. 7. Held on the edge of 17a. To transport the box in a folded state, A handle 22 is provided located along the etch between the lower length side 5 and the bottom. .

In the embodiments described above, the casing may be made of lightweight polypropylene, for example. coming. In order to strengthen the structure, the casing has broken line parts 1a, 1b, 1c, It has a folded etch (not shown) along all outer sides except for Id. The width of the fold line is the width of the edge, sides and top when the box is folded. The dimensions are such that there is space for In the above embodiment, The bottom of the box is provided with a horizontal reinforcing lip 23 sunk into the bottom. These ribs also serve to collect urine and the like, which may occur during transportation. In addition, this box is, of course, equipped with absorbent pads or padding if necessary. A bottom box may be provided containing the The bottom further includes a recess in the upper center of the bottom. It may also have a shaped water container 24.

The animal you are about to transport should be folded up and locked just before the top and flap are folded up. is placed in a box. However, one of the end walls is As in the case, the end wall may have a door, for example with a nickel-iron grid. They may protect the animal from wind, light, or disturbance. A similar method of protection, which may preferably be made of other solid materials, in order to This may be, for example, by a removable shield mounted on the grid.
