Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily transport a number of box bodies by foldable structure by a method wherein on an oblong rectangle plate, cut openings and continuous parts are alternately formed and arranged in a line, and a continued part on each of the lines is bent by a definite angle and a bent plate with multiple side faces is formed, following which these two bent plates are faced other and joined, and a peripheral plate of a sleeve body with the multiple side faces is formed. CONSTITUTION:An oblong rectangle plate is trisected in longitudinal direction and two faces are formed on the border lines of equal part. On each of the two faces, cut openings (a) and continuous parts (b) are alternately formed in a line, at regular intervals, and thus two lines with the openings are formed in parallel to each other, on the middle part of the rectangle plate. Both side ends of the rectangle plate are separately bent inside by the angle of 60 deg. and joining borders 6a, 6a are formed facing to each other. After that, along the two lines with the openings, the rectangle plate is bent so that three planes of the rectangle hold an interior angle of 120 deg. one another, and thus a bent plate with three side faces (side plates 6), a half of a hexagonal sleeve body, is formed. These two bent plates are made one pair, and the open sides thereof are faced each other and integrated, and the joining borders 6a, 6a are overlapped, and thus the hexagonal sleeve body is formed. After that, corner patches 7 are put at the exterior parts of both bent lines and joint lines on the hexagonal sleeve body, and an upper cover 4 is elastically fitted to an upper opening part and bottom cover 5, to a lower opening part, and thus a hexagonal sleeve body-shaped box body 1 is formed.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] "Industrial application field" The present invention relates to a method of forming a box for horticulture, etc.

``Prior Art'' Traditionally, cylindrical boxes for gardening, such as flower pot covers, waste bins, and other small items, have been made into cylinders, square cylinders, hexagonal cylinders, and other polygonal cylinders. These objects are three-dimensional objects having a fixed tube shape.

``Problem to be solved by the invention'' By the way, the cylindrical box mentioned above is a three-dimensional object with a fixed shape and occupies a certain space and is tall, so it is difficult to pack it when handling a large quantity of items. It is difficult to transport, and the cargo volume is too large, requiring a large vehicle, and the transportation costs are high, so it is unreasonable to ship a large quantity of products at once, and there are structural problems. Defects are observed.

Therefore, in the present invention, in order to eliminate the defective points,
The shape and structure of the cylindrical box and its formation method have been improved, and the conventional method of forming the cylindrical box has been changed in order to make it easier and convenient to handle by disassembling it into a small volume during packaging and transportation. By adopting a different method, the aim is to streamline the handling and transportation of products.

``Means to Solve the Problems'' As a means to solve the above problems and achieve the objectives, the cylindrical box can be assembled and disassembled so that it can be disassembled and packaged compactly during transportation, and it can be packed in large quantities. In order to make it possible to easily transport items in bulk, the following special method of formation is adopted: the outer peripheral plate of the cylindrical box is divided into two parts, and each half is divided into two parts. The outer circumferential plate of the outer peripheral plate can be bent into a polygonal curved plate shape, or it can be expanded into a flat shape. Cutting holes and continuous pieces are alternately formed in vertical rows at predetermined intervals in the direction to form multiple rows, and by bending the continuous pieces in each row in the same direction at a predetermined angle, υ can be used to create a gap between both ends. By forming open polygonal curved plates, pairing the two polygonal curved plates with their open surfaces facing each other, and joining the corresponding ends of both curved plates in an abutment shape, the A polyhedral cylinder is formed, a top lid with an article insertion opening in the center corresponding to the upper end opening of the polyhedral cylinder is fitted, and a bottom lid is fitted to correspond to the lower end opening. At the same time as fitting, a bending plate is attached to the outside of each bent part of the polygonal curved plate to close the row of cutout holes, and its upper and lower ends are inserted and clamped to each fitting edge of the top cover and bottom cover. In particular, a method is adopted in which a cylindrical box is formed in which both the top and bottom lids are fixed along the outside of the multifaceted cylindrical body, and articles are inserted through the insertion opening in the center of the top lid and supported on the bottom lid. It is.

``Function'' To form half of the outer circumferential surface of a box body formed into a polyhedral cylindrical shape, a prototype board is formed by forming cut-out holes and continuous pieces alternately in vertical rows at predetermined intervals in the horizontal direction of a horizontally long rectangular board. Then, by bending each row of continuous pieces at a predetermined angle to form a polygonal curved plate, and by joining the two polygonal curved plates as a pair so as to face each other, the outer circumferential plate of the polygonal cylinder can be formed. Since the bending means of the polyhedral curved plate weakens the rigidity of the plate by arranging cut-out holes, the bending process becomes easy, and the curved plate can also be formed by hand bending process, so the cylindrical outer peripheral plate The two unbent flat plates are delivered to the customer, and the customer can manually bend them into a cylindrical box.

Therefore, when shipped as a product, it can be packaged in a small volume as a disassembled body.

"Example" An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the present invention applied to a pot cover for a flower pot stand. Reference numeral 1 indicates a box for a pot cover in which a flower pot is placed, and opening/closing legs 2... Three pieces are attached, and a flowerpot is inserted into the upper end opening 3 of the husband's box 1 to decorate it with upper and lower steps.

Fig. 2 shows an exploded view of the box 1, and Fig. 3 shows the box 1.
As shown in the horizontal cross-sectional view of FIG. 2, this box is constructed so that it can be assembled and disassembled freely, and can be disassembled as shown in FIG.

When the individual components of the box body are disassembled are listed in FIG. 2, they are a top cover 4, a bottom cover 5, two side plates 6, 6, six backing plates 7, and so on. When combined, they form a hexagonal cylindrical box.

As mentioned above, the method of forming the box according to the present invention is a method in which each part of the box is formed separately and then fitted together to integrate the parts, especially the side plate 6 which becomes the outer peripheral plate of the box. The method of forming this is devised.

That is, the side plate 6 is formed by dividing the outer circumferential plate into halves so that a hexagonal cylinder can be formed by combining two identical pieces facing each other, and is a horizontally long rectangular plate having a length of approximately half of the outer circumferential plate. Two parallel rows of holes are provided in the center of the rectangular plate by alternately forming vertical rows of cut holes and continuous cut holes at predetermined intervals between two equal dividing lines in the horizontal direction. ,
The left and right ends of the rectangular plate are bent inward at an angle of 60 degrees to form two liquid joining edges 6a, 5a, and the upper end is divided into three equal parts in the same direction as the two liquid joining edges. A reinforcing piece 6b is bent and a reinforcing piece □ is bent in the same direction so that its lower end corresponds to the upper end reinforcing piece 6b. A husband engagement hole is provided at the top.

Then, the rectangular plate is inserted into each row of holes and bent to maintain an internal angle of 120 degrees to form a three-sided curved plate (side plate 6) that is half a hexagonal cylinder, and these two three-sided curved plates A hexagonal cylindrical body is formed by combining the two plates as a pair with their open surfaces facing each other, and by overlapping the joint edges S and 6a of both plates.

Next, after abutting the husband plate 7 on each bent outer corner and the overlapping outer corner of both liquid joining edges of the hexagonal cylinder, the upper cover 4 is attached to the upper end opening, and the bottom cover 5 is attached to the lower end opening. By elastically fitting them together, a hexagonal cylindrical box 1 is assembled.

In addition, at each bending part of the side plates 6, 6 and the overlapping part of the joint piece, a concave trough is formed by concavely bending the side plate material inward by the hole row and the overlapping line, and the concave mark is formed. The plate 7 is configured so that it fits in and coincides with the outer surface of the cylindrical body.

In addition, each outer circumference of the top cover 4 and the bottom cover 5 is bent and green...
5a... are provided with inward engaging protrusions 2 that engage with the engaging holes C provided at the upper and lower ends of the side plates, and these engaging portions fix the mutually fitted state of each member. .

It should be noted that each of the engaging portions of the top cover and the bottom cover that engage the side plates can be separated by pressing the side plates inward due to the elasticity of the material.

Therefore, this assembled box body can be easily disassembled, the bent portions of both side plates are expanded to form a single plane, and each member can be stacked on top of the other, packaged, and transported.

"Effects of the Invention" In the box forming method of the present invention, a side plate in a flat state can be easily bent into a curved plate by using the rows of cut-out holes. At the same time, by combining hand-bent double-sided plates and elastically fitting the top cover and bottom cover to the top and bottom ends of the two-sided plates,
A cylindrical box can be easily formed, and the box can be assembled and disassembled freely.When disassembled, each component can be made into a flat plate and stacked together, reducing the packaging volume and making it easy for customers to use. Once the product is delivered, the user can manually bend it to form the outer panel, and then fit the upper and lower lids and the backing plate to form the box, making it possible to reduce the size of the package and transport it in large quantities. It is possible to lower the unit price of products by reducing shipping costs and shipping costs, and to provide them to customers at low prices.

If a flexible membrane is attached to both sides or one side of the side plate, the membrane closes the cutout hole, increases the strength of the bent portion of the side plate, and protects the side plate.
