Definitions

  • the present invention relates, in general, to apparatus and methods for joining together the edges of sheet material which has been folded so as to form three-dimensional structures, and more particularly, relates to apparatus and methods for joining sheet material which has been folded using high-precision folding structures capable of accurately registering joinder structures for coupling together of sheet edges.
  • Flat sheets are provided with a plurality of folding structures which will produce folding of the sheets along fold lines that can very precisely be controlled.
  • the folding structures are typically slits, grooves or displacements that are positioned on alternating sides of a desired fold line so as to define spaced-apart bending or folding straps that precisely control folding of the sheet.
  • the folding structures also produce edge-to-face engagement of the sheet material on opposite sides of the folding structures to further enhance folding precision and structural strength.
  • the folded sheets of the Related Applications often have been used to produce three-dimensional structures in which free or adjacent edges of the sheets are folded into abutting or overlapping relation and then are joined together to stabilize the resulting structure against unfolding.
  • the previous techniques for securing the edges of the folded sheets together have varied considerably, depending upon the application, but in many instances the sheet edges have merely been joined together using standard fasteners such as screws, rivets, other mechanical fasteners, and/or welding, brazing or adhesives.
  • one aspect of the present invention is directed to a sheet of material formed for bending or folding into a three-dimensional structure.
  • the sheet of material preferably includes a first sheet section having a first edge formed with a first joinder structure proximate the first edge, a second sheet section having a second edge formed with a second joinder structure proximate the second edge for interlocking engagement with said first joinder structure, and a plurality of folding structures formed in the sheet of material along a plurality of desired fold lines which divide the sheet of material into said first and second sheet sections, the folding structures being formed to produce sufficiently precise folding of the sheet of material along the fold lines to position the first and second edges together such that said first and second joinder structures interengage with one another and retain the sheet of material in a folded condition.
  • the first joinder structure may be a joinder tab extending out of the plane of the first sheet section forming a slot extending toward the first edge
  • the second joinder structure may be a registration flange, a portion of which is dimensioned and configured to extend into the slot upon folding.
  • the joinder tab may have a J-shaped cross-section.
  • the joinder tab may be formed by stamping.
  • the first sheet section may have an aperture formed by stamping the joinder tab out of the plane of the first sheet.
  • the portion of the registration flange received in said slot may include a locking protrusion extending out-of-plane and dimensioned and configured to extend into the aperture to prevent disengagement of the first and second joinder structures.
  • the locking protrusion may have a ramp-shaped profile to facilitate insertion of the portion of the registration flange into the slot.
  • the folding structures may be provided by one of slits, grooves and displacements formed in the sheet of material to define a plurality of folding straps having center lines extending obliquely across the fold lines.
  • the sheet of material preferably includes a first sheet portion folded along a first fold line to produce a first corner, the first sheet portion including an inwardly projecting coupling shoulder displaced out-of-plane forming a receiving slot, the coupling shoulder spaced from the first fold line, the first sheet further including an aperture formed by the out-of-plane displacement of the coupling shoulder, and a second sheet portion folded along a second fold line to produce a second corner member, the second sheet portion having a registration flange, a portion of which is received in the slot of the coupling shoulder, the registration flange portion having an outwardly projecting latch member spaced from the second fold line and extending into the aperture of the first sheet portion producing an interference fit between the coupling shoulder and the registration flange portion.
  • the first fold line and the second fold line may each be formed by a plurality of folding structures provided by one of slits, grooves and displacements defining a plurality of spaced apart folding straps having center lines extending obliquely across the fold lines to produce precise location of the coupling shoulder and latch member relative to the first fold line and precise location of the registration flange portion and the coupling shoulder slot.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a two-dimensional sheet material preformed with precision fold structures and fastening structures in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the sheet material of FIG. 1 , the sheet having undergone a first bending step.
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the sheet material of FIG. 1 , the sheet having undergone a subsequent bending step.
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the sheet material of FIG. 1 , the sheet having undergone another subsequent bending step.
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the sheet material of FIG. 1 , the sheet having undergone a further subsequent bending step.
  • FIG. 6 is an enlarged perspective view of the sheet material of FIG. 1 , similar to FIG. 5 , showing the internal engagement of the fastening structure.
  • FIG. 7 is a further enlarged perspective view of the sheet material of FIG. 1 , similar to FIG. 6 , showing the internal engagement of the fastening structure.
  • FIG. 8 is another enlarged perspective view of the sheet material of FIG. 1 showing the external engagement of the fastening structure.
  • FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of the fastening structure, taken substantially along line 9 - 9 of FIG. 7 , before engagement.
  • FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view of the fastening structure, taken substantially along line 10 - 10 of FIG. 7 , before engagement.
  • FIG. 11 is a perspective view of a plurality of sheet material structures similar to that shown in FIG. 1 in a stacked configuration.
  • FIG. 1 shows a sheet material 30 having a generally cross-shaped configuration to form a box blank 31 .
  • the sheet material has been dimensioned and configured to form an open box (see FIG. 5 ), however, one will appreciate that other three-dimensional can be formed in accordance with the present invention.
  • free standing corner structures can be formed, pyramid-shaped structure, and generally any three dimensional structure in which two planar, or substantially planar surfaces intersect one another.
  • the sheet material includes a first sheet section 32 having a first edge 33 formed with a first joinder structure 34 proximate the first edge.
  • the joinder structure is spaced a distance away from the adjacent fold line 35 thereby providing increased leverage to resist disengagement of the joinder structure as will become apparent below.
  • the sheet material includes a second sheet section 36 having a second edge 37 formed with a second joinder structure 38 proximate the second edge for interlocking engagement with said first joinder structure.
  • the first and second joinder structures are dimensioned and configured to engage with one another upon folding the sheet material along the fold lines.
  • the sheet of material also includes a plurality of folding structures 39 formed in the sheet of material along a plurality of desired fold lines which divide the sheet of material into the first and second sheet sections.
  • the folding structures are formed to produce sufficiently precise folding of the sheet of material along the fold lines to position the first and second edges together such that said first and second joinder structures interengage with one another and retain the sheet of material in a folded condition.
  • the folding structures are slits, grooves, displacements and or other suitable means formed in the sheet of material to define a plurality of folding straps 40 having center lines extending obliquely across the fold lines.
  • the two-dimensional sheet material is sequentially bent along respective fold lines to form an open box structure.
  • First and second joinder structures are engaged as the sheet material is bent from the condition shown in FIG. 3 to the condition shown in FIG. 4 .
  • each corner of the box includes similar, cooperating joinder structures which are similarly engaged.
  • FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 are enlarged views of a corner of the box which clearly show the interengagement of the first and second joinder structures, the configuration of which are discussed in greater detail below.
  • first joinder structure is preferably a joinder tab 41 extending out of the plane of the first sheet section and forms a slot 42 extending toward the first edge.
  • the second joinder structure is a registration flange, a portion 43 of which is dimensioned and configured to extend into the slot upon folding, as seen in FIG. 10 .
  • the joinder tab has a J-shaped cross-section 44 , as can be seen in FIG. 9 .
  • the joinder tab is formed by stamping.
  • the first sheet section has an aperture 45 formed as the joinder tab is stamped out-of-plane from the first sheet.
  • the portion of the registration flange received in said slot includes a locking protrusion 46 extending out-of-plane and dimensioned and configured to extend into the aperture to prevent disengagement of the first and second joinder structures.
  • the locking protrusion has a ramp-shaped profile to facilitate insertion of the portion of the registration flange into the slot.
  • the box blanks of the present invention may be shipped flat, thus allowing a plurality of box blanks to be stacked on top of one another.
  • the configuration of the fold lines allows the box blanks to be folded from their two-dimensional state to their three-dimensional state on site.
  • the precision fold lines allow the blanks to be folded, precisely, along predefined fold lines with minimal effort.
