Abstract
A box includes a container portion, the container portion defining a top end and a bottom end, the container portion defining a cavity; a telescoping portion attached to the top end of the container portion, the telescoping portion selectively reconfigurable about and between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration, a portion of the telescoping portion being positioned within the cavity in the retracted configuration, the telescoping portion disposed external to the cavity in the extended configuration; and a dividing portion disposed within the cavity, the dividing portion defining a plurality of cells within the cavity.
Claims19
A box comprising:
- a container portion, the container portion defining a top end and a bottom end, the container portion defining a cavity;
- a telescoping portion attached to the top end of the container portion, the telescoping portion selectively reconfigurable between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration, a portion of the telescoping portion being positioned within the cavity in the retracted configuration, the telescoping portion disposed external to the cavity in the extended configuration;
- and
- a dividing portion disposed within the cavity, the dividing portion defining a plurality of cells within the cavity;
- and
- wherein:
- the container portion comprises a main panel and a side panel;
- the side panel comprises a first side subpanel and a second side subpanel;
- the first side subpanel is hingedly coupled to the main panel;
- the dividing portion comprises a first dividing wing and a second dividing wing;
- the first dividing wing is hingedly coupled to the first side subpanel;
- and
- the second dividing wing is hingedly coupled to the second side subpanel.
A box blank comprising:
- a bottom panel;
- a main panel coupled to the bottom panel by a main hinge;
- a telescoping panel coupled to the main panel by a top hinge positioned opposite from the main hinge;
- a side subpanel coupled to the main panel by a side hinge;
- and
- a dividing wing coupled to the side subpanel opposite from the side hinge by an inner hinge, the inner hinge oriented parallel to the side hinge, the dividing wing configured to be folded about the inner hinge and coupled to the main panel to form a box.
A box comprising:
- a container portion comprising a main panel, the container portion defining a top end and a bottom end, the container portion defining a cavity, the main panel at least partially defining an opening to the cavity at the top end of the container portion;
- a telescoping portion attached to the top end of the container portion, a telescoping panel of the telescoping portion comprising an upper securing panel and a lower securing panel, the lower securing panel coupled to the main panel at the top end, the telescoping portion selectively reconfigurable between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration, a portion of the telescoping portion being positioned within the cavity in the retracted configuration, the lower securing panel extending downwards into the cavity substantially parallel to the main panel in the retracted configuration, the upper securing panel positioned within the cavity substantially perpendicular to the lower securing panel in the retracted configuration, the telescoping portion disposed external to the cavity in the extended configuration;
- and
- a dividing portion disposed within the cavity, the dividing portion defining a plurality of cells within the cavity.
A box blank comprising:
- a bottom panel;
- a main panel coupled to the bottom panel by a main hinge;
- a telescoping panel coupled to the main panel by a top hinge positioned opposite from the main hinge;
- a side subpanel coupled to the main panel by a side hinge;
- a top flap coupled to the side subpanel;
- and
- a dividing wing coupled to the side subpanel opposite from the side hinge by an inner hinge, the dividing wing configured to be folded about the inner hinge and coupled to the main panel to form a box.
