Definitions
- the invention relates to a folding box, consisting of a one-piece blank made of cardboard, cardboard, corrugated cardboard or the like, with a box body made of four side walls and with an upper and lower box closure, the flaps connected by at least two flaps which are each connected to a side wall by a flat piece is formed.
- the flaps forming the box end are articulated on the lower and upper edges of the four side walls.
- the material for the flaps must be provided in sufficient width following these edges of the side walls.
- the flaps forming the upper end of the box are punched out of two opposite side walls and placed one on top of the other, whereby they remain connected to the side walls by means of an area piece.
- the two other side walls (end walls) have a vertical dividing joint, along which the folding box can be opened.
- the overlap of the two flaps must be large enough to give the upper end of the box enough strength. As a result, the possibilities of saving material are limited.
- the object of the invention is to design a folding box of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that substantial material savings are achieved already during the production of the folding box.
- This object is achieved in that a sheet is punched out of all four side walls and folded up and down along a folding edge of the side wall running parallel and at a distance from the end of the box, and in that an end flap of the sheet as a flap in the plane of Box end is folded and connected to at least one other end flap to form the box end.
- This design of the box end can be carried out on the box bottom and / or on the box lid, it also being possible for the other box end to be designed in a conventional manner. However, it is also possible to design both the box base and the box lid in the embodiment according to the invention.
- the box end consists of four flaps, a particularly stable design of the box end is achieved without the need for a strong overlap.
- Fig. 1 is a folding box in spatial Representation, whereby the surface pieces forming the box bottom are punched out of all four side walls,
- FIG. 2 shows a section along the line II-II in Fig. 1
- Fig. 3 is a bottom view in the direction of arrow III in Fig. 2
- FIG. 4 is a bottom view corresponding to FIG. 3 in a modified embodiment of the folding box
- Fig. 6 in a spatial representation similar to Fig. 1 shows a modified embodiment of a folding box, in which the upper end of the box is formed by four sheets folded upwards and obliquely inwards, and
- Fig. 7 in a spatial representation of a folding box in which both the upper and the lower end of the box consists of patches from the side walls.
- the folding box shown in FIGS. 1-3 consists of a one-piece blank, which in the exemplary embodiment shown is preferably made from corrugated cardboard.
- Four side walls 1, 2 form an essentially rectangular box body, which can have a conventional box closure on its top, which consists, for example, of closure flaps 3.
- the two mutually opposite side walls 1 each have a window 4, which is formed in that a surface piece 5 from the side wall 1 is punched out and folded down along a fold edge 7 running parallel and at a distance from the box bottom 6.
- the surface piece 5 rests on the inside of the side wall 1.
- the section of the surface piece 5 located there can be glued to the side wall 1 or can only lie loosely.
- An end flap 8 of the surface piece 5 is bent along a bottom edge 9 (FIG. 2) as a bottom flap in the plane of the box bottom 6.
- a window 10 is cut out of each of the two other opposite side walls 2.
- the area piece 11 cut out of the window 10 is also folded down in the manner already described along a fold edge 12 which runs parallel and at a distance from the box bottom 6.
- An end flap 13 of the surface piece 11 is bent along a bottom edge 14 as a bottom flap in the plane of the box bottom 6.
- each end flap 8 or 13 overlaps the two adjacent end flaps 13 and 8 and is glued to them in surface areas 15, which are outlined in FIG. 3 with dashed lines.
- the four end flaps 8 and 13 together form the box bottom 6. Since the width of the end flaps 8 and 13 is smaller than the width of the associated side wall 1 and 2, openings 16 remain at the corners of the box bottom 6.
- FIG. 1 It can be seen from FIG. 1 that at the lower corners of the folding box a narrow strip 17 is notched along the lower edges of the side walls 1 and 2, respectively. This will damage the lower edges of the side walls 1, 2 avoided when the folding box is pushed over an uneven surface, for example over a folding box arranged underneath in a stack.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 A modified embodiment of the box bottom 6 'is shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.
- the two opposite end plates 8 are made so long that they overlap each other.
- the two end flaps 8 are glued to one another in a surface area 18 indicated by dash-dotted lines in FIG. 4.
- the two other end plates 13 lie only loosely on the end plates 8 glued to one another and are supported on them.
- This embodiment is particularly advantageous since the prefabricated folding boxes are transported lying flat to the filling operation and are only erected there; then only a single glue 18 is to be carried out on each folding box.
- a window 4 is also punched out in both the side walls 1 and in the two side walls 2.
- a surface piece 5 provided with an end flap 8 is punched out of all four side walls 1, 2 of the box body, that the two end flaps 8 form the box lid 6 "from two opposite side walls l and that the two end flaps 8 consist of the two other side walls 2 form the box bottom.
- the surface pieces 5 punched out of the windows 4 of the other two side walls 1 are folded down and lie against the respective side wall 1 on the outside.
- the end flaps 8 articulated to the surface pieces 5 together form the box bottom.
