Description

DESCRIPTION

PARTIALLY FOLDABLE AND STACKABLE BOX

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention, as the title of the invention establishes, is a partially collapsible and stackable box that has the particularity of having a certain storage capacity once folded, which is why we speak of a partially collapsible box.

The present invention is characterized by the special design, materials and configuration of each and every one of the elements that make it up in such a way that a box that is quickly assembled is achieved, which has an insert inside that remains assembled even when folded, which when folded it reduces its final volume but maintains a certain storage capacity, where the assembly and disassembly of the box is very fast and efficient.

Therefore, the present invention is circumscribed within the scope of the preferred packaging among those that have the possibility of being able to be folded and also stacked.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the state of the art, there are folding boxes of various materials such as high-density plastics of standard sizes, there are also nestable boxes of various materials such as high-density plastics of standard sizes. On the other hand, folding boxes made of various materials, including low-density plastics, but without the capacity to hold anything inside once folded, are known.

However, in the state of the art, boxes made of low-density plastic are unknown, with the advantages that this entails, which are also foldable, but once folded they maintain a certain storage capacity, where once folded the boxes also allow it to be stackable, even when unfolded.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to develop a box that has all the aforementioned characteristics, developing a box like the one described below and is included in its essentials in the first claim.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention is collected in its essentials in the independent claim and the different embodiments are collected in the dependent claims.

The object of the present invention is a partially collapsible and stackable box comprising a rectangular prismatic base in the form of an open tray at the top and formed by a base and four side walls, inside which some fold-out walls are housed, each wall having a lower part that can be housed in the rectangular prismatic base and an upper part joined to the lower one by means of a folding line where the upper part of the vertical walls, once unfolded, join each other at their corners by means of a removable clipping system, forming a rigid solid and when the part The upper part of the vertical walls are folded and are housed in the interior space defined by the rectangular prismatic base, so the fold line of the vertical walls is at a height inside the free edge of the rectangular prismatic base.

On the free edge of the vertical walls, an upper protection profile can be arranged, which even allows the boxes to be stacked once they are unfolded.

The vertical walls comprise two walls placed in the headwalls and two vertical walls placed in the gutters. The walls of the headwalls have lower flaps in their lower part that serve as support while in the upper part they have upper flaps that overlap the walls of the headwalls and allow clipping between the walls of the headwalls and of the gualderas.

The box is preferably made of low-density plastic, the design allows the box to be folded with a textile insert inside without the need to remove it to be folded, and that once the box is unfolded, the textile insert is ready to be used. In addition to the assembly and disassembly of the box is very fast and efficient.

By being able to fold the vertical walls, a significant reduction in volume is achieved, a fact that reduces the transport costs of the box, but which nevertheless has a certain storage capacity.

Unless otherwise indicated, all technical and scientific elements used herein have the meaning ordinarily understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. Methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein may be used in the practice of the present invention.

Throughout the description and claims, the word "comprises" and its variants are not intended to exclude other technical characteristics, additives, components or steps. For those skilled in the art, other objects, advantages and characteristics of the invention will emerge in part of the description and part of the practice of the invention.

EXPLANATION OF THE FIGURES

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of its practical embodiment, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description. where, by way of illustration and not limitation, the following has been represented.

In figure 1, we can see a perspective representation of the box with the vertical walls unfolded.

In figure 2, we can see an exploded representation of the box where the different parts can be seen.

Figure 3 shows the box partially folded, that is, it has a certain storage capacity.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the figures, a preferred embodiment of the proposed invention is described below.

In figure 1 we can see that the box object of the invention comprises a base (1) that has an open tray-like configuration, or also a rectangular prismatic configuration open at the top where inside there is a set of folding walls (2). vertically.

Figure 2 shows more construction details of each of the elements that form part of the invention. On the one hand, we observe that the set of walls (2) comprises two vertical walls placed in the headwalls (3) and another two vertical walls placed in the gussets (4).

The walls of the headwalls (3) comprise a lower part (3.1) and an upper part (3.2) following the lower part (3.1) and separated by a folding line (3.3), where in the lower part (3.1) support flaps (3.5) emerge laterally from the lower part, while anchoring flaps (3.4) emerge laterally from the upper part (3.2).

On the free upper edge of the walls of the ends (3) in the embodiment shown, upper profiles (6) for protection and stacking are observed.

The walls of the gussets (4) comprise a lower part (4.1) and an upper part (4.2) following the lower part (4.1) and both parts separated by a fold line (4.3), where on the free upper edge of the walls of the gussets (4) in the embodiment shown, upper profiles (7) for protection and stacking can be seen.

The system for forming the box in an unfolded manner involves erecting the vertical walls and arranging removable clips (5) between the walls of the gussets (4) and the anchoring flaps (3.4) of the walls of the headwalls (3) .

Finally, Figure 3 shows the partially folded box where the walls of the headwalls (3) have been housed in the interior space defined by the base (1), while the walls of the gussets (4) are also housed in the interior space of the base (1).

The folding lines (3.3) and (4.3) are at a height such that it is less than the height of the free edge of the rectangular prismatic base (1), and the height of the upper part (4.2) of the walls of the skirts (4) is less than the width of the base (1) so that said upper parts (4.2) when folded are housed within the space defined by the base (1).

Having sufficiently described the nature of the present invention, as well as the way of putting it into practice, it is stated that, within its essentiality, it may be put into practice in other embodiments that differ in detail from the one indicated by way of example. , and to which the protection sought will also apply, provided that it does not alter, change or modify its fundamental principle.
