Definitions

  • This invention relates to a sliding box of the drawer and shell type, comprising an inner cardboard box or tray and an outer box or shell.
  • Boxes of this kind are in common use for different purposes, in particular as match boxes.
  • the outer boxes may be made of wood, cardboard, plastic, or other material.
  • the inner boxes are made of cardboard, they require an accurate fit in the outer box, and this is of special importance when also the outer box is made of cardboard and the cardboard blanks of which the boxes are made are folded along fold lines in the form of V- shaped grooves having a substantially right angle between their side walls and obtained through removal of cardboard material, whereby the boxes obtain an exceedingly regular geometrical form with very sharp, right angles between adjacent sides.
  • the main object of the invention is to remove these drawbacks and provide an improved sliding box of the above-mentioned kind which is inexpensive and easy to manufacture.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a sliding box with moderate and adequate friction between inner box and outer box irrespective of the humidity conditions.
  • the sliding box comprises a cardboard inner box with special projecting tongues adapted to engage or bear against the inner surface of the outer box with a moderate pressure for creating an adequate friction resistance between inner box and outer box.
  • FIGURE 1 is a plan view of a blank for an inner box according to one embodiment of the invention.
  • FIGURE 2 is a perspective view illustrating the box in a partially erected condition
  • FIGURE 3 is a vertical section through an end portion of a complete sliding box comprising inner and outer boxes shown on a larger scale;
  • FIGURES 4, 5, and 6 are views corresponding to FIG- URES 1, 2, and 3 respectively and illustrating another embodiment of a sliding box according to the invention
  • FIGURES 7, 8, and 9 are views corresponding to FIG- URES l, 2, and 3 respectively and illustrating a further embodiment of the box.
  • FIGURES 10, 11, and 12 are views corresponding to FIGURES l, 2, and 3 respectively and illustrating still another embodiment of a box according to the invention.
  • FIGURES 13 and 14 are two further vertical sections.
  • 1 designates the bottom of an inner box
  • 2 designates the side walls extending in the sliding direction of the inner box
  • 3 designates the transverse end walls
  • 4 designates corner flaps integral with the side walls and adapted to be glued or cemented to the inner surface of the end walls 3 of the inner box.
  • the cardboard from which the inner box is made usually has its grain mainly in one direction corresponding to the web direction in the cardboard machine, in which direction the cardboard is stiffer than in the transverse direction.
  • the inner box is therefore preferably made in such a way that the tongues project in this grain direction, and in the embodiments where the end walls are not formed by folding and gluing two integral portions upon each other said grain direction also extends along the end walls and stiifens the same.
  • each side wall 2 is straight and located on the same level as the top edges of the end walls 3, the height of which is slightly less than the distance between the top and bottom portions of the outer box.
  • the end portions of the edges of the side walls 2 form projections or tongues 5 locally increasing the height of the side walls 2 to such an extent that these tongues will be somewhat compressed and/or resiliently bent inwards, when the inner box is inserted into the outer box.
  • each side wall could suitably be provided with more than two tongues.
  • the transverse clearance between the inner box and the outer box may be made sufficiently large to avoid any essential friction between the side walls of the outer and inner boxes.
  • each side wall 2 of the inner box is straight, and the tongues 5a have been formed on the lower edge of the side walls by punching the tongues 5a out from the bottom 1.
  • the tongues 5a will be swung down, so that they bear against the bottom 9 of the outer box when the inner box is pushed into the outer box.
  • the tongues 5a are provided with fold lines, they may be bent slightly to form a certain angle with respect to the respective side walls, if they are dimensioned correspondingly.
  • one or two tongues or projections may be arranged on the central portion of each side wall, so that they become less visible when the inner box is somewhat slid out, or one or two flaps maybe punched out from a side wall portion so as to project laterally from the bottom portion and engage the side wall of the outer box.
  • each end wall of the inner box comprises an outer portion 10 connected with the bottom 1 and an integral, inwardly folded inner portion 11 provided with two opposite end flaps 12 having projecting tongues b.
  • the end flaps 12 may be formed, according to FIGURES 1012, with tongues 5b directed downwards and passing through slots 13 in the bottom 1 of the inner box so as to engage the inside of the bottom of the outer box as shown in FIGURE 12.
  • the upper edge of the end flaps 12 is preferably lower than the upper edge of the proper side wall of the inner box and is in FIGURES 11 and 12 shown inclined from the corner as shown at 12b.
  • the end flaps 12, which are not secured to the respective side walls 2, can thus be resiliently displaced by the tongues 51) sufiiciently to avoid a too great pressure on the tongues.
  • the tongues 5, 5a and 5! may be supplemented, within the scope of the invention, by discontinuities in the substantially plane panels or surfaces of the outer box cooperating with the tongues.
  • discontinuities or cavities as used in the appended claims are to be construed in a broad sense and are intended to include through slits and slots as well as depressions or indentations in the surfaces of the outer box.
  • FIGURE 13 is a longitudinal section made just ahead of the rear side wall through a portion of a modified embodiment of the box illustrated in FIG. 6.
  • the bottom 9 of the outer box is provided with depressed indentations 14 extending in the sliding direction and cooperating with the tongues 5a.
  • the indentat-ions 14 receive the tongues 5a, when the inner box reaches its home position fully inserted in the outer box, thus preventing the inner box from sliding out of the outer box unintentionally.
  • FIGURE 14 illustrating a partial section similar to that of FIGURE 13 through a modification of the sliding box according to FIGURE 12, a longitudinal slot 13a is substituted for for the indentation 14 show in FIGURE 13. It is, however, evident that the indentation 14 of FIGURE 13 may be replaced by a slot 13a according to FIGURE 14, and in the same Way said slot 13:: may, Within the scope of the invention, be replaced by an indentation 14 according to FIGURE 13 or by a slot 13 open at one end as shown in FIGURE 12.
  • the longitudinal end walls of the inner box may have their upper as well as their lower edges provided with tongues each located near one end of the side wall and for instance projecting from opposite edges of an end flap 12.
  • a sliding box for matches comprising an outer box having a top panel, a bottom panel and two side walls, and an inner cardboard box, slidably inserted in said outer box and having a bottom; two side walls extending in the sliding direction of the inner box and provided, at their respective ends, with a corner flap folded so as to extend substantially perpendicularly to said side walls; and two double end walls each having an outer portion contiguous to said bottom and folded substantially with respect thereto, and an integral, inner portion folded substantially upon the outer portion, said inner and outer portions embracing, at each end of the inner box, one pair of said corner flaps, each of said inner end wall portions having at its respective ends an integral end flap folded so as to extend along one adjacent side wall of the inner box; each end flap being displaceable relative to the respective side wall of the inner box and having an upper edge defining a convex, projecting, rounded tongue frictionally bearing against the inner surface of said top panel of the outer box with its central portion and narrowing therefrom in the sliding direction of the inner box towards its both ends,
  • a sliding box for matches comprising an outer box having a top panel, a bottom panel and two side walls, and an inner cardboard box, slidably inserted in said outer box and having a bottom; two side walls extending in the sliding direction of the inner box and provided, at their respective ends, with a corner flap folded so as to extend substantially perpendicularly to said side walls; and two double end walls each having an outer portion contiguous to said bottom and folded substantially 90 with respect thereto, and an integral, inner portion folded substantially 180 upon the outer portion; said inner and outer portions embracing, at each end of the inner box, one pair of said corner flaps, which are each secured to at least one of said end wall portions; each of said inner portions having at its respective ends an integral end flap folded so as to extend along one adjacent side wall of the inner box, each end flap being displaceable relative to the respective side wall of .he inner box and frictionally bearing against the inner surface of said bottom of the outer box with its central portion and narrowing therefrom in the sliding direction of the inner box towards its both ends; said inner box
  • a sliding box comprising an outer box having a top panel, a bottom panel and two side walls, and an inner cardboard :box, slidably inserted in said outer box and having a bottom; two side walls extending in the sliding direction of the inner box and provided, at their respective ends, with a corner flap folded so as to extend substantially perpendicularly to said side walls; and two double end walls each having an outer portion contiguous to said bottom and folded substantially 90 with respect thereto, and an integral inner portion folded substantially 180 upon the outer portion; said inner and outer portions embracing, at each end of the inner box, one pair of said corner flaps, which are each secured to at least one of said end wall portions, each of said inner portions having at its respective ends an integral end flap folded so as to extend along one adjacent side wall of the inner box, each end flap having one convex, projecting, rounded tongue frictionally bearing against the inner surface of the outer box with its central portion and narrowing therefrom in the sliding direction of the inner box towards its both ends.
