Abstract
The storage box is fanned 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 characterized 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.
Claims18
A storage box comprising:
- a single sheet of corrugated material provided with a plurality of reinforcing channels extending through the single sheet in one direction and folding lines defining a parallelepiped containing six faces and one or more protrusions that extend away from at least one of the six faces, the six faces comprising:
- a hinged lid that includes:
- a first lid sector hingedly connected, along a first folding line, to a first face of the six of faces;
- and
- a second lid sector hingedly connected, along a second folding line, to a second face of the six faces, opposite the first face;
- and
- a third face opposed to the hinged lid that so that the hinged lid and the first face define opposite side faces of the storage box when the storage box is disposed in a use position and at least the first face and the second face extend therebetween,
- wherein, when the storage box is in the use position, the one or more protrusions extend substantially perpendicularly away from one of the first face and the second face so that the one or more protrusions extend upwards and are configured to removably couple the storage box to a second box stacked atop the storage box in a manner that leaves the hinged lid accessible.
A reusable storage box, comprising:
- a plurality of faces formed from a single sheet of corrugated material that is provided with a plurality of reinforcing channels extending through the single sheet in one direction, the plurality of faces including:
- an upper face that is disposed at a top of the reusable storage box when the reusable storage box is in a use position;
- a first face that comprises:
- a first sector with an oblique folding line defining a first joining zone;
- and
- a second sector joined to the first sector at the first joining zone;
- and
- a lid configured to define a side face of the reusable storage box when the reusable storage box is in the use position, the lid comprising:
- a first lid sector hingedly connected, along a first folding line, to a first side face of the plurality of faces defining the reusable storage box;
- and
- a second lid sector hingedly connected, along a second folding line, to a second side face of the plurality of faces defining the reusable storage box, 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
- at least one protrusion extending substantially perpendicularly with respect to the upper face so that the at least one protrusion is configured to removably couple the reusable storage box to a second box stacked atop the reusable storage box when the reusable storage box is in the use position.
