Abstract
The application provides a blank for forming a handheld tool. The blank includes an elongated sheet that includes a top surface and a bottom surface, a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end, a first side end and a second side end, and a circumferential edge. The circumferential edge includes a rear edge, a front edge, a first side edge, and a second side edge. The elongated sheet also includes at least one upward bending line extending, and a second upward bending segment, and a connecting segment. The elongated sheet also includes a first downward bending line and a second downward bending line.
Claims18
A blank for forming a handheld tool, the blank comprising an elongated sheet that comprises:
- a top surface and a bottom surface being provided opposite the top surface,
- a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end being provided opposite the first longitudinal end,
- a first side end and a second side end being provided opposite the first side end, and
- a circumferential edge that comprises a rear edge being provided at the first longitudinal end, a front edge being provided at the second longitudinal end, a first side edge being provided at the first side end, and a second side edge (4′) being provided at the second side end,
- the elongated sheet further comprising:
- a bending cum connecting strip extending between the side edges of the blank, the bending cum connecting strip comprising a first strip segment, a second strip segment, and a connecting strip segment, the first strip segment and the second strip segments extending at an oblique angle inwards from respective endpoints at the side edges of the blank, pointing along a longitudinal direction towards the front edge of the blank and the connecting strip segment providing a vertex, the elongated sheet further comprising:
- a first downward bending line extending between the rear edge and the first strip segment and
- a second downward bending line extending between the rear edge and the second strip segment,
- wherein:
- the bending cum connecting strip and the front edge enclose a first flat portion being provided in a first plane, and
- the bending cum connecting strip and the rear edge enclose a second flat portion being provided in a second plane, and
- the second plane is separated from the first plane by a predetermined distance.
A blank for forming a handheld tool, the blank comprising an elongated sheet that comprises:
- a top surface and a bottom surface being provided opposite the top surface,
- a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end being provided opposite the first longitudinal end,
- a first side end and a second side end being provided opposite the first side end, and
- a circumferential edge that comprises a rear edge being provided at the first longitudinal end, a front edge being provided at the second longitudinal end, a first side edge being provided at the first side end, and a second side edge being provided at the second side end,
- the elongated sheet further comprising:
- a bending cum connecting strip extending between the side edges of the blank, the bending cum connecting strip comprising a first strip segment, a second strip segment, and a connecting strip segment, the first strip segment and the second strip segment extending at an oblique angle inwards from respective endpoints at the side edges of the blank, pointing along a longitudinal direction towards the front edge of the blank and providing a vertex,
- the elongated sheet further comprising:
- a first downward bending line extending between the rear edge and the first strip segment and a second downward bending line extending between the rear edge and the second strip segment,
- wherein:
- the bending cum connecting strip and the front edge enclose a first flat portion being provided in a first plane, and
- the bending cum connecting strip and the rear edge enclose a second flat portion being provided in a second plane,
- wherein:
- a joint between the first flat portion and the bending cum connection strip is bent, enabling the first flat portion to serve as a container portion and a joint between the second flat portion and the bending cum connection strip is bent, enabling the second flat portion to serve as a handle portion of the handheld tool.
