Abstract
An arrangement in a box is disclosed, the box being, in the initial position, in the form of a sheet-like blank having a bottom (2), first and second sidewalls (4, 6) which are connected to the bottom (2) via fold lines (8, 10) and are substantially parallel panels which are connected to one of the sidewalls (4, 6). The arrangement is characterized in that a flap (32) is formed at a second panel (20) which, via a second fold line (18), is connected to a first, inner panel (16) which is connected to one of the sidewalls (4, 6) via an inner fold line (14), and that a slot (34) is formed in one sidewall (6) connected to the inner panel (16), the slot engaging the flap (32) when the box is erected.
Claims18
An arrangement for a box in the form of a flat blank when in an initial position of the box, said arrangement comprising a bottom (2), a pair of first side walls and a pair of second side walls (4, 6), each side wall of each pair of said side walls being respectively connected to the bottom (2) via fold lines (8, 10) and being substantially vertical when erected, a plurality of substantially parallel panels connected to each of one pair of said side walls (4, 6), wherein a first flap (32) is formed by a second panel (20) of said plurality of substantially parallel panels, the second panel being connected to a first inner panel (16) of said plurality of substantially parallel panels by a second fold line (18), the first inner panel being connected to each of the one pair of said side walls (4,6) by an inner fold line (14), wherein the second panel has a width along the longitudinal length of said plurality of substantially parallel panels greater than the first inner panel of said plurality of substantially parallel panels, and wherein a first slot (34) is formed in each of the one pair of said side walls (4, 6) connected to the first inner panel (16), said first slot (34) engaging the first flap (32) when the box is erected, wherein a second flap (26) is formed at an upper edge of another pair of said side walls (4, 6), and that a second slot (30) provided in the inner panel (16) to allow the second flap (26), after being bent along a fold line (28), to be connected to said second slot (30), wherein a triangular column is formed at each of four corners of an erected box by one side wall of each pair of said side walls (4, 6) and the second panel.
A method for creating a box from an arrangement in the form of a flat blank when in an initial position of the box, said arrangement comprising a bottom (2), a pair of first side walls and a pair of second side walls (4, 6), each side wall of each pair of said side walls being respectively connected to the bottom (2) via fold lines (8, 10) a plurality of substantially parallel panels connected to each of one pair of said side walls (4, 6), wherein a first flap (32) is formed by a second panel (20) of said plurality of substantially parallel panels, the second panel being connected to a first inner panel (16) of said plurality of substantially parallel panels by a second fold line (18), the first inner panel being connected to each of the one pair of said side walls (4, 6) by an inner fold line (14), wherein the second panel has a width along the longitudinal length of said plurality of substantially parallel panels greater than the first inner panel of said plurality of substantially parallel panels, and wherein a first slot (34) is formed in each of the one pair of said side walls (4, 6) connected to the first inner panel (16), wherein a second flap (26) is formed at an upper edge of another pair of said side walls (4, 6), and that a second slot (30) provided in the inner panel (16),
- said method comprising the steps of:
- folding each said second panel (20) along said second fold line (18) toward said first inner panel (16), then folding each said first inner panel (16) with the second panel (20) thereon, along said inner fold line (14) towards each one side wall of said one pair of said side walls (4, 6),
- pushing each said first flap (32) through each said first slot (34) in said each one side wall of said one pair of said side walls,
- folding from said bottom (2) said each side wall of each pair of said side walls (4, 6),
- folding inwards the second flap (26) and inserting the second flap (26) through the second slot (30) while at the same time pushing said second flap downwards.
