Definitions

  • Another object of the invention is to provide a new and improved method of cutting out pattern blanks for tuckin type boxes which is especially economical of box board material and produces virtually a minimum amount of scrap on small runs of the boxes.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide a new and improved method of cutting out and forming tuck-in type boxes which employs a different type ofpattern in the interest of securing a maximum amount of space within the box in proportion to the amount of material used as well as minimizing scrap.
  • Still further among the objectsof the invention is to provide a new and improved method of forming tuck-in type boxes which employs a pattern form economical in the amount of box board used in proportion to the capacity, which is economical of the scrap involved, and more particularly which results in a very simply formed box having a great degree of strength and which makes it possible to very handily and easily tuck in ends whereby to complete the enclosure.
  • the invention consists in the method for achieving the construction, arrangement and combination of the various parts of the device whereby the objects contemplated are attained, as
  • FIGURE 1 is a plan View showing a sheet of box board from which a set of pattern blanks are cut for one particular proportionate box style.
  • FIGURE 2 is a perspective view of one of the boxes formed from the pattern blanks of FIGURE 1 showing one end tucked in and the other end left opened.
  • FIGURE 4 is a planview of a sheet of box board showing pattern blanks die cut therefrom of different proportionate dimensions and having a different type of tuck-in tab.
  • FIGURE 5 is a perspective view of a box formed from one of the pattern blanks of FIGURE 4 with one end only tucked in.
  • four pattern blanks are shown indicated by the reference characters 13, 14, 15 and 16, although it will be appreciated that as many blanks may be cut along the length of the box board as the multiple capacity of the die may accommodate and the length of the box board may permit.
  • the pattern blanks are identical and identically oriented so that a description of one will sufiice for all.
  • the blank 15 is shown as comprising a central portion 17 rectangular in shape, long side walls 18 and 19, respectively, short side walls 20 and 21, respectively, cover walls 22 and 23, respectively, tuck-in flaps 24 and 25, respectively, and four side flaps indicated respectively by the reference characters 26, 27, 28 and 29.
  • the proportion is somewhat specific in that the width is about 1 /3 of the length, the height of the side wall is about of the width, and the over-all breadth of the cover flaps is very slightly greater than the breadth of the central portion.
  • the side flaps are cut loose along lines 30 where they join the short side walls and scored along the long lines 31 where they join the long side walls.- Otherwise, the central portion, side walls, cover walls, tuck-in flaps and side flaps are separated by scored lines which remain uncut. In this particular box size there is a slight amount of scrap formed from the triangular pieces 32 and 33 which are 7 the cut-off tips of the originally triangular cover walls to leave the remaining breadth of the cover walls slightly less than the short dimensions of the central portion.
  • cover wall 23 is folded to a position overlying the cover wall 22 leaving overlapped areas 47 and 43 where glue or other appropriate adhesive is applied to glue the cover walls together in perfect box shape. It will be noted that only a relatively small amount of glue need be applied and that the overlapped portions form but a small-percentage of the box area.
  • tuck-in flap 24 is tucked underneath the cover walls 22 and 23, after which the box can be filled.
  • tuck-in flap 25 is similarly tucked in after the side flaps 28 and 29 are tucked in and the box is complete, as shown in FIGURE 3.
  • the box 40 thus resulting is a firm, well constructed box which can be-easily closed by the tucking in of the tuck-in flaps and when completed is rugged at the corners and presents a maximum number of clean faces of the side walls and central portion, leaving only one face to accommodate theutilitarian features of gluing and tuckmg in.
  • FIGURE 4 In the form of invention illustrated in FIGURE 4, a similar sheet of box board 10 isshown having side edges In this form of the device there is shown by way of example pattern blanks 59, 51, 52 and 53 symmetrically arranged and oriented on the box board sheet 10' and identical in shape, proportion and form to the extent that a description of one will sutfice for both.
  • the central portion which determines the two dimensions of the ultimate box 70, indicated in FIGURES'S and 6, is a long rectangle in proportion with the long dimension about 1% the length of the short dimension.
  • the cover flaps have a breadth very slightly less than the short dimension of the central portion so that no tips need to be cut from the cover walls.
  • side flaps in each instance are scored along central lines 67 in a direction reverse with respect to the scoring along 7 lines 68 and 69. Except for the scoring along lines 67, the central portion, side walls, cover walls, tuck-in flaps and side flaps are separated respectively by scoring of the blank and comprise virtually a negligible amount.
  • the cover wall 59 In forming the box 70 from one or another of the pattern blanks, the cover wall 59, for example, is folded over opposite cover wall 60 to provide overlapping portions 79 and 80, respectively, where a diamond shaped patch of glue sufiices for the entire gluing operation. Thereafter tuck-in flap 62 is bent and ed beneath the cover walls 59 and 60 in the position illustrated in FIGURE 5, during which operation the side flaps 63 and 66 are bent inwardly, folding along the score lines 67 "of each and along the score lines 68 and 69 of each in the opposite direction. Formed to thisextent the box may be filled and thereafter the tuck-in flap 61 is folded over and tucked in to the position illustrated in FIGURE'6.
  • the side flaps 64 and 65 are pushed inwardly folding in one direction along core lines 67 and also folding along score lines 68 and 69 in the opposite direction.
  • This folding technique at the corners provides an especially strong corner without, however, impairing the ease of manipulation of the box and particularly without increasing in any sense the amount of scrap box board which might result.
  • the box 70 also is extremely economical in theamount of box board in proportion to the space provided in the finished box.
  • a method of forming tuck-in boxes from a rectangular running length of box board comprising the steps of:
  • the two cover face portions being members respectively of the other pair of diagonally opposed corner portions of each pattern blank and being coextensive and integral along one edge thereof with the side walls respectively, the linear length of each cover face portion from the edge of the side wall to the corner of the pattern blank being sufficient to provide an overlapping gluing portion;
  • a method according to claim 1 and comprising the step of creasing said side flaps from the point most nearly adjacent the bottom face outwardly whereby to divide each said side flap into equal portions, and bending said side flaps inwardly along the lines of said creasin to form reinforced corners of the box.
