Semiregular polyhedron box and method of assembly

A semiregular polyhedron box, the box consisting of:

• two rectangular sidewalls defined by a rectangular upper edge, a rectangular lower edge, and two rectangular lateral edges, the two rectangular sidewalls being corrugated;
• two square sidewalls defined by a square upper edge, a square lower edge, and two square lateral edges, the two square sidewalls further being defined by at least one handle aperture, the two square sidewalls being corrugated;
• four corner sidewalls defined by a corner upper edge, a corner lower edge, and two corner lateral edges that are substantially longer than the corner upper edge and the corner lower edge, the four corner sidewalls being disposed between the two rectangular sidewalls and the two square sidewalls, the four corner sidewalls being corrugated,
• whereby the sidewalls join at the respective lateral edges to form an enclosed region defined by a generally rectangular shape and having four chamfered edges;
• four rectangular panels hingedly joined with two opposing rectangular upper edges and two opposing rectangular lower edges of the two rectangular sidewalls,
• each rectangular panel defined by a straight top edge, a pair of straight lateral edges, and a straight bottom edge, the straight bottom edge hingedly joined with the rectangular upper edge of the two rectangular sidewalls,
• each rectangular panel further defined by two L-shaped slots that are centrally disposed in a spaced apart relationship;
• and
• four irregular panels hingedly joined with two opposing square upper edges and two opposing square lower edges of the two square sidewalls,
• each irregular panel defined by an irregular bottom edge hingedly joined with the square upper edge of the square sidewall,
• each irregular panel further defined by an irregular top edge having a convex curve, a central notch, and a pair of top angled corners,
• each irregular panel further defined by a pair of irregular lateral edges having a lateral notch and a pair of bottom angled corners,
• each irregular panel further defined by an elongated perforation disposed lengthwise, the elongated perforation being disposed proximal to the irregular bottom edge of the four irregular panels,
• whereby the pair of top angled corners and the lateral notch of the four irregular panels are sized and dimensioned to detachably interlock with the two L-shape slots of the four rectangular panels,
• whereby the box forms about ten faces, twenty-four edges, and sixteen vertices.

A method for assembling a semiregular polyhedron box, the method comprising:

• providing a generally flat sheet, the flat sheet consisting of:
• two rectangular sidewalls;
• two square sidewalls;
• four corner sidewalls,
• whereby the two rectangular sidewalls, the two square sidewalls, and the four corner sidewalls are adapted to form a generally rectangular cross-section;
• four rectangular panels hingedly joined with the two rectangular sidewalls, the four rectangular panels defined by two L-shaped slots slots that are centrally disposed in a spaced apart relationship;
• four irregular panels hingedly joined with the two square sidewalls, the four irregular panels defined by an irregular top edge having a convex curve, a central notch, and a pair of top angled corners;
• expanding the flat sheet to form a generally rectangular cross-section;
• folding the four rectangular panels towards each other, whereby the box is at least partially formed;
• folding two of the four irregular panels towards each other, whereby the box is at least partially formed;
• interlocking the pair of top angled corners and the lateral notch of the two irregular panels with the two L-shape slots of the two rectangular panels;
• filling an enclosed region of the box with an object;
• folding two of the four irregular panels towards each other, whereby the box is at least partially formed;
• and
• interlocking the pair of top angled corners and the lateral notch of the two irregular panels with the two L-shape slots of the two rectangular panels,
• whereby the box is fully assembled and defined by ten faces, twenty-four edges, and sixteen vertices.
