Abstract
A reusable foldable box is disclosed that has a first flat configuration and a second three dimensional configuration. The box consists of a first set and a set of panels that are assembled to form the foldable box. The first set of panels includes at least six panels that are foldably coupled in a predefined sequence. The first set includes a top panel, bottom panel, a pair of side panels, a lip panel and a securing panel. The first set of panels forms a single piece construction to which the side panels of the second set of panels are coupled with triangular inward connectors.
Claims9
A reusable foldable box having a first flat configuration and a second three dimensional configuration, comprising:
- a first set of panels having at least six panels having predefined shapes that are foldably coupled in a predefined sequence;
- a second set of panels having a pair of opposed side panels, each side panel has two opposed inward triangular connectors on each end and any of the two adjacent triangular connecters are defined by a respective inside diagonal fold;
- and the second set of panels being securely coupled to the first set of panels to define the foldable box that is closed by a magnetic locking arrangement,
- wherein the first set of panels include a top panel, a bottom panel, a pair of side panels with at least two opposed pairs of triangular connectors each, a securing panel with a magnetic first piece of the magnetic locking arrangement and a lip panel with an iron a second piece of the magnetic locking arrangement, wherein a height of the pair of side panels is equal to a height of the securing panel and the lip panel, and wherein one of the pair of the side panels includes a third piece of the magnetic locking arrangement that (1) magnetically connects the securing panel and the one of the pair of the side panels and (2) magnetically connects the lip panel and the one of the pair of the side panels.
