Abstract
The container is formed out of a blank and possesses considerable mechanical strength as a consequence of the thickness of the sides being doubled through first parts, the thickness of the bottom being doubled through second parts, the ends offering notable resistance to flattening due to the presence of strengthening edges, the thickness of the said ends being doubled in the region of the corresponding central areas and, lastly, the end pieces of the sides being locked to the strengthening edges of the said ends.
Claims5
Improved container for receiving various articles, in particular cylindrical articles, formed from a single flat blank having longitudinal and transverse dimensions with slits crosswise of the longitudinal dimension and longitudinal and transverse lines of articulation, said longitudinal and transverse lines folded to define a bottom, vertical sides and vertical ends of the container, each vertical edge of said ends having a vertical line of articulation folded to form a limb, of a height corresponding to that of said ends, said limb being folded towards an inside face of each end to define a first strengthening edge, a central area glued to said inside face of said end and a terminal zone, with said first strengthening edge comprising a vertical strip positioned parallel to and inside the corresponding side;
- an upper transverse edge of each end articulating a corresponding element, constituted by a central section, resting on upper extremities of the pair of limbs attached to said end, and two extremity sections, each turned downwardly in glued contact with the corresponding vertical strip of said strengthening edge;
- each side being provided with two end pieces placed in glued contact with the corresponding vertical strip of said strengthening edges;
- each side being centrally folded in the region of the upper edge to form an area constituted by a first part, placed in contact with the inside face of said side and a second part, articulated longitudinally to the first part, glued to said bottom.
