Definitions

  • TITLE BLANK FOR FOLDING TO FORM A RECEPTACLE, AND SUCH RECEPTACLE Technical field
  • the present invention relates to a blank for folding to form a receptacle, and to such a receptacle.
  • Receptacles such as cardboard boxes, are widely used both for storing, shipping and exposing articles. There is a benefit if the receptacle is easy to produce, transport, and use. It is further an advantage if it consumes only a reasonable amount of material. It is often also desired that the receptacle not only is strong enough to carry the articles it is intended to carry, but also strong enough to be able to be stacked.
  • GB 2188036 A discloses a box that has reinforcement means to enable stacking of such boxes.
  • the box is an open tray box formed from three preformed sheets of cardboard, wherein one sheet form a base and sides of the tray and the two other sheets act as reinforcing elements fitted inside the box to provide a double-wall structure at opposite sides.
  • the reinforcing elements are folded at its ends to provide a dihedral which has two walls adapted to fit in each corner of the box to provide brackets on which another box can be rested to form a stack.
  • the present invention is based on the understanding that by making a receptacle of a single blank facilitates logistics connected to production, distribution and use since all parts necessary to put the receptacle into a use state are available by the single blank.
  • the invention is further based on the understanding that by providing three angular folds at each corner, stability of the receptacle is greatly improved, and edges of the folds will provide a bearing structure when receptacles are stacked.
  • a blank for folding to form a receptacle comprises a one-piece board having a base portion; at least one first side portion protruding from the base portion; and at least one second side portion protruding from the base portion.
  • the first side portion and the second side portion are arranged to meet at a corner position when folded to essentially perpendicular direction from the base portion.
  • the first side portion comprises a protruding element arranged to form three angular folds at the corner position such that two outward edges and one inward edge are formed.
  • the edges are extending essentially perpendicular to the base portion and are essentially mutually parallel, and the distal part of the protruding element extends along the second side portion from the edge being closest to the second side portion, when folded to form the receptacle.
  • An advantage is that the corner folds provide improved stability, especially when receptacles are stacked.
  • An advantage of the distal part of the protruding element extending along the second side portion from the edge being closest to the second side portion, when folded to form the receptacle, is that the one-piece board provides any forces at corner positions and the structure of the folds remain even under additional force, e.g. upon stacking.
  • the three angular folds may each be essentially L-shaped.
  • An advantage is that the L-shape provides stability as the corner folds both forms an efficient bearing structure, and provides added lateral stability.
  • the base portion may comprise a first recess
  • the protruding element at its edge that meet the base portion when the blank is folded to form the receptacle, may comprise at least one first projecting element at a position between the most distal and the most proximal fold lines of the three angular folds such that the first recess is arranged to receive the at least one first projecting element when the blank is folded to form the receptacle.
  • the base portion may comprise a second recess
  • the protruding element, at its edge that meet the base portion when the blank is folded to form the receptacle, may comprise at least one second projecting element at a position distal to the most distal fold line of the three angular folds such that the second recess is arranged to receive the at least one second projecting element when the blank is folded to form the receptacle.
  • the base portion may comprise a first recess
  • the protruding element at its edge that is most distal to the base portion when the blank is folded to form the receptacle, may comprise at least one third projecting element at a position between the most distal and the most proximal fold lines of the three angular folds such that the first recess of one receptacle is arranged to receive the at least one third projecting element from another receptacle when the blank is folded to form the receptacle, and such receptacles are being stacked.
  • the base portion may comprise a corner portion and the protruding element, at its part that is most distal to the base portion when the blank is folded to form the receptacle, may comprise at least one third element at a position between the most distal and the most proximal fold lines of the three angular folds such that the at least one third element of one receptacle is arranged to receive the corner portion from another receptacle when the blank is folded to form the receptacle, and such receptacles are being stacked.
  • the third element of one receptacle may be arranged to be folded to engage the corner portion of another receptacle when the receptacles are being stacked.
  • the second side portion may comprise a first part proximal to the base portion to form a wall essentially perpendicular to the base portion when the blank is folded to form the receptacle.
  • the second side portion may further comprise a second part distal to the base portion and arranged to be folded to clasp the distal part of the protruding element of the first side portion extending along the second side portion when the blank is folded to form the receptacle.
  • the base portion may comprise a second recess
  • the second part of the second side portion may comprise a projecting element at its edge that meet the base portion when the blank is folded to form the receptacle, such that the second recess is arranged to receive the projecting element of the second part when the blank is folded to form the receptacle.
  • the first side portion may comprise a first part proximal to the base portion to form a wall essentially perpendicular to the base portion when the blank is folded to form the receptacle.
  • the first side portion may further comprise a second part distal to the base portion and arranged to be folded to essentially adjoin the surface of the first part when the blank is folded to form the receptacle, the base portion may comprise a third recess, and the second part of the first side portion may comprise a projecting element at its edge that meet the base portion when the blank is folded to form the receptacle such that the third recess is arranged to receive the projecting element of the second part of the first side portion when the blank is folded to form the receptacle.

Abstract

La présente invention se rapporte à une ébauche (100) pour pliage destinée à former un réceptacle (150). L'ébauche (100) comprend une planche monobloc comportant une partie de base (102), au moins une première partie latérale (104) faisant saillie depuis la partie de base (102), et au moins une seconde partie latérale (106) faisant saillie depuis la partie de base (102). La première partie latérale (104) et la seconde partie latérale (106) sont placées pour se rencontrer dans une position de coin lors du pliage dans une direction essentiellement perpendiculaire depuis la partie de base (102). La première partie latérale (104) comprend un élément saillant (110) placé pour former trois plis angulaires (112, 113, 114) dans la position de coin de sorte que deux bords extérieurs et un bord intérieur soient formés. Les bords s'étendent essentiellement perpendiculairement à la partie de base (102) et sont essentiellement mutuellement parallèles. La partie distale (116) de l'élément saillant (110) s'étend le long de la seconde partie latérale (106) depuis le bord le plus proche de la seconde partie latérale (106) lorsque l'ébauche (100) est pliée pour former le réceptacle (150). L'invention se rapporte également au pliage de l'ébauche (100) et à un réceptacle (150) formé de l'ébauche (100).
