Abstract
A container preassembly which has an inner sleeve in a flat unopened position disposed within an outer sleeve in a flat unopened position. The two sleeves are adapted to form the two ends of the container and are secured together in the aligned relationship of the final open container, thereby allowing the preassembly to be opened into the form of the final container without requiring further adjustment. Once opened, the flaps for forming the container bottom are folded to create a container ready for use. A method of making the container preassembly is also provided.
Claims15
A container knockdown assembly capable of being erected into a container assembly, comprising:
- an outer sleeve having panels for forming outer sleeve side walls, and flaps integrally connected to said side walls at one end, said flaps forming one of a bottom end or a top end of said container assembly when said knockdown assembly is erected;
- a tab extending from at least one flap of said outer sleeve;
- an inner sleeve positioned inside said outer sleeve having panels for forming inner sleeve side walls and flaps integrally connected to said side walls at one end, said flaps forming an opposing of said bottom end or said top end of said container assembly when said knockdown assembly is erected, said inner sleeve further comprising one or more adhesive overlays formed in said one or more inner sleeve side walls by a tear line allowing said overlay to be detachable from said inner sleeve along said tear line;
- an opening at one end of each of said one or more adhesive overlays for receiving said tab when said knockdown assembly is erected;
- and
- adhesive disposed between said outer sleeve side wall and said adhesive overlay so as to secure said inner and outer sleeves in an aligned relationship and such that the adhesive overlay remains attached to said outer sleeve when detached from said inner sleeve.

A container knockdown assembly capable of being erected into a container assembly, comprising:
- an outer sleeve having panels for forming outer sleeve side walls and flaps integrally and pivotally connected to said side walls at a bottom end such that said flaps are pivotable from a position within a central space of said assembly to a position substantially perpendicular to said side walls thereby forming a bottom, said flaps including a first bottom flap attached to a first outer sleeve side wall and an adjacent bottom flap attached to an adjacent outer sleeve side wall, said adjacent outer sleeve side wall being pivotably attached to said first side wall, said adjacent bottom flap being pivotably attached to said first bottom flap in both said position within said central space and said position substantially perpendicular to said side walls such that said adjacent bottom flap and said first bottom flap, when pivoting into said position substantially perpendicular to said side walls, thereby self-deploys to define a bottom en of said container assembly when said knockdown assembly is erected;
- a tab extending from at least one flap of said outer sleeve;
- an inner sleeve positioned inside said outer sleeve having panels for forming inner sleeve side walls and flaps integrally and pivotally connected to said panels at a top end for forming a top end of the container assembly, said inner sleeve further comprising one or more adhesive overlays formed in said one or more inner sleeve side walls by a tear line allowing said overlay to be detachable from said inner sleeve along said tear line;
- an opening at an end of each of said one or more adhesive overlays that is adjacent to a bottom edge of said inner sleeve side wall for receiving said tab when said knockdown assembly is erected;
- and
- adhesive disposed between said outer sleeve panel and said adhesive overlay so as to secure said inner and outer sleeves in an aligned relationship and such that the adhesive overlay remains attached to said outer container when detached from said inner sleeve.
