Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to a box that can be folded into a flat state, and a plurality of boxes can be combined and partitioned.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when storing easily damaged products such as melons in packaging boxes, vertical and horizontal partitions have been inserted to prevent damage during transportation. In addition, at stores, these items, which were sold separately, were placed in synthetic resin film carrier bags to be taken home.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, when taking products such as melons home from the store, cheap synthetic resin film carrying bags do not give the product a sense of luxury, so a separate take-home box has been prepared. In this case, retail stores have to stock products of various sizes depending on the size of the product, which poses problems such as ordering and management, which is time-consuming and costly.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, this invention forms a rectangular cylinder from a pair of side walls and a pair of end walls, and forms a foldable bottom wall at the lower edge of this rectangular cylinder. , is a foldable box with a cover plate connected to the upper edge, and the required vertical slit is provided at the top of the connection point between the side wall and end wall of the box folded into a flat body, and the box is folded flat. When a plurality of boxes are assembled in this state, the flat boxes can be intersected through the vertical slits to form a partition.

[Effect]

The box of this invention can be folded into a flat shape and used as a partition by combining multiple pieces through vertical slits, and can also be used as a storage box by restoring the folded box if necessary. It is.

〔Example〕

1 to 4 show a first embodiment of this invention. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, this box consists of a pair of rectangular side walls 1 made of thick paper such as cardboard, and a pair of end walls 2 having the same shape as the side walls 1, with a fold line 3 interposed between them. They are connected in series to form a rectangular cylinder with a square plane, and the side wall 1 has a rectangular bottom flap 4 on the lower edge and a rectangular handle/cover plate 5 on the upper edge. A substantially trapezoidal bottom flap 6 is provided on the lower edge, and a trapezoidal auxiliary cover plate 7 is provided on the upper edge, and the triangular gluing margin 9 defined by the diagonal crease line 8 of the bottom flap 4 is connected to the adjacent bottom flap 6. A bottom wall that can be folded and restored is formed by gluing it to the bottom wall.

Note that the bottom wall is not limited to the bottom wall that can be folded and restored as described above.

The handle/lid plate 5 is divided into a lid part 11 and a handle part 12 by a center fold line 10, one handle part 12 is provided with a handle hole 13, and the other handle part is provided with a handle hole 13. 12
A U-shaped cut 14 corresponding to the handle hole 13 is cut in the handle, and a pair of diagonal cuts 15 with which the auxiliary cover plate 7 engages are provided on the upper edges of both handle parts 12.

This box is carried by holding the overlapping handle part 12 bent and raised from the center fold line 10, with the upper opening closed by abutting the lid parts 11 of the pair of handle-cum-lid plates 5.

A slit 16 is cut in the center of the auxiliary cover plate 7, and the upper edge corner of the overlapping handle part 12 of the pair of handles/cover plate 5 is inserted into this slit 16 and the upper end of the slit 16 is inserted. Both members can be locked by meshing with the diagonal cut 15.

Furthermore, the box contains, as shown in Figures 2 and 3,
A relatively wide vertical slit 17 is provided in the upper half above the corner fold line 3. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, diagonal notches 18 are formed at both upper corners of the vertical slits 17 that overlap when the handle/cover plate 5 and the auxiliary cover plate 7 are folded inward and the box is folded flat. This facilitates the insertion operation when two flat boxes intersect in a cross shape.

When the box of this first embodiment is used for partitioning inside a packaging box, as shown in FIG.
The two flat boxes _C1 are intersected in a cross shape and inserted into the square plan packaging box _A1 .

When the flat box _C1 is made into a cross-shaped partition, it has dimensions that are exactly inscribed in the packaging box _A1 , and the inside of the packaging box is partitioned into four equal parts, which are then taken out at the store and restored to the box body. The box has a volume of 1/4 of the volume of the packaging box, and the product B ₁ (see the chain line in Figure 4) partitioned within the packaging box can be stored exactly.

In addition, the vertical slit 17 is as shown in FIG.
In addition to providing the slits on each fold line 3 of the flat box, that is, on the middle part and both end edges, the slits may be omitted on both end edges and provided only on the middle part where they directly engage with each other.

5 to 8 show a second embodiment of this invention. The box of this embodiment has a pair of wide rectangular side walls 21 as shown in FIGS.
This side wall 21 is connected to a rectangular end wall 22 having a width of approximately 1/2 through a fold line 23 to form a rectangular cylinder, and the side wall 21 has a rectangular bottom flap 24 at its lower edge. A rectangular handle/cover plate 25 is provided on each edge, and a substantially trapezoidal bottom flap 2 is provided on the lower edge of the end wall 22.
6 is also provided with a trapezoidal auxiliary cover plate 27 connected to the upper edge thereof, and the handle hole 29 is provided in substantially the same manner as in the first embodiment.
It is also equipped with a corresponding hand hole 30, cut 31, diagonal cut 32, slit 33, and a foldable bottom wall.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7, this box has a handle/cover plate 25 and an auxiliary cover plate 27 that are folded into a rectangular cylinder, and the rectangular cylinder is folded into a flat body, and the upper half of the fold line 23 is folded. A vertical slit 28 is provided at this location in the overlapping wide side wall 22. This vertical slit 28 is connected to the handle holes 30 and 29 in the handle and lid plate 25.
It has reached this point.

When using the box of this second embodiment for group partitioning,
As shown in FIG. 8, the two flat boxes _C1 of the first embodiment are inserted into the vertical slit 28 of the horizontally long flat box C2 _.
The vertical slits 17 are inserted into a horizontally long packaging box _A2 so as to intersect with each other in a box shape, and the inside of the packaging box _A2 is partitioned into six equal parts.

When the flat box C ₂ used for this partitioning is restored to a box body, it is possible to store two products B ₂ side by side.

Note that the box according to this invention has the first box as described above.
In addition to the embodiment and the second embodiment, a horizontally long flat box folded into a flat body with three vertical slits provided in the middle and three flat boxes _C1 of the first embodiment were combined. Various types are available depending on the application, such as one that divides the inside of the packaging box into eight equal parts, and one that uses four flat boxes _C2 of the second embodiment and combines them in a square shape to divide the inside of the packaging box into nine equal parts. Different types can be combined to form partitions.

Further, the box according to the present invention may be a box with a handle-type box as described above, or a box in which a lid plate without a handle is connected to the upper edge of the side wall.

〔effect〕

As described above, the box according to this invention can be folded into a flat body, interlocking vertical slits, and intersecting a plurality of boxes to form partitions within the packaging box. When storing and packaging easily damaged fruits in a packaging box, this box can be used as a divider, and when the product is sold separately at a store, the divider can be restored to the box body and immediately become a take-home box. , compared to conventional carrier bags made of synthetic resin film, it has a more luxurious feel, is cheaper than preparing a separate take-out box, and is easier to manage inventory at retail stores. It saves time and effort, and since it is designed as a set of partitions, it is convenient because it has a size that perfectly matches the stored items.
