Abstract
The storage box is formed from a sheet provided with a plurality of folding lines defining a parallelepiped provided with six faces. One of the faces is a hinged lid, and it is characterised in that the opposed face to the hinged lid comprises a first sector provided with an oblique folding line that defines a first joining zone. A second sector also provided with an oblique folding line that is joined to the first sector in the first joining zone; and a third sector is provided with an oblique folding line that defines a second joining zone; and a fourth sector that is joined to the third sector in the second joining zone.
Claims16
A storage box formed from a sheet of material, said box comprising:
- a plurality of faces defining said box, wherein at least one of said plurality of faces comprises a first sector provided with an oblique folding line defining a first joining zone, and a second sector joined to said first sector at said first joining zone;
- a lid formed by a first lid sector and a second lid sector, the first lid sector being hingedly connected to a first face of the plurality of faces and the second lid sector being hingedly connected to a second face of the plurality of faces, wherein:
- at least one of said first lid sector and said second lid sector comprises at least one engaging groove for engaging the first lid sector and the second lid sector to each other;
- at least one of said first and second lid sectors is provided with at least one adhesive element to prevent accidental opening of the lid;
- and
- when the lid is closed, said first and second lid sectors are engaged to each other by the engaging groove;
- and
- wherein said box is made from a single sheet of corrugated material having a plurality of channels provided in at least some of the several faces adjacent a bottom face, said plurality of said channels being oriented in a substantially perpendicular direction to the bottom face when the storage box is in a use position, and the channels provided in the first lid sector and the second lid sector are oriented substantially perpendicular to the first face and the second face when the lid is closed.
A reusable storage box, said box comprising:
- a reusable storage box formed from a single sheet of corrugated material provided with a plurality of reinforcing channels extending through said single sheet in one direction;
- several faces defining the box including a first face comprising a first sector provided with an oblique folding line defining a first joining zone, and a second sector joined to said first sector at said first joining zone;
- a lid comprising:
- a first lid sector hingedly connected to one of the several faces defining the box along a first folding line;
- and
- a second lid sector hingedly connected to one of the several faces along a second folding line, wherein at least one of the first lid sector and the second lid sector comprises at least one engaging groove for engaging the first lid sector and the second lid sector to each other;
- and wherein, when closed, the the first and second lid sectors overlap, so as to form a double layer, reinforced area, said reinforced area being further fortified by the plurality of the reinforcing channels provided in said first and second lid sectors, which are oriented substantially perpendicular to the first and second folding lines;
- and
- wherein said plurality of said channels provided in at least some of the several faces adjacent a bottom face are oriented in a substantially perpendicular direction to the bottom face when the storage box is in a mounting position.
