Definitions

  • the invention relates to a package box and, in particular, to a one-sheet folding package box.
  • an existing package box 100 includes a bottom portion 110 , two body portions 120 , 130 , and two cover portions 140 , 150 .
  • the bottom portion 110 includes a first side 111 and a second side 112 of equal length and in parallel, a third side 113 and a fourth side 114 of equal length and in parallel, and two apertures 115 adjacent to the third and fourth sides 113 , 114 .
  • Each of the body portions 120 , 130 includes a first height part 121 , 131 , a box part 122 , 132 , a second height part 123 , 133 , and a folding part 124 , 134 , respectively.
  • the box part 122 , 132 is provided with a long-striped aperture 125 , 135 in the vicinity of the second height part 123 , 133 .
  • Each of the box parts 122 , 132 is provided with a holding hole 126 , 136 .
  • a connecting part 127 , 137 is formed between the second height part 123 , 133 and the folding part 124 , 134 for connecting to the aperture 115 .
  • the folding part 124 of the box part 122 is divided by the aperture 125 into a first folding region 124 ′ and a second folding region 124 ′′.
  • the first folding region 124 ′ is folded inward, whereas the second folding region 124 ′′ is folded outward. Both of them touch against the bottom portion 110 .
  • the folding part 134 of the body portion 130 is folded inward.
  • the second height part 123 of the body portion 120 and the second height part 133 of the body portion 130 define a placing room 160 for placing an article 170 therein.
  • the two body portions 120 , 130 have a U shape bending on the bottom portion 110 .
  • the cover portion 140 includes a height part 141 , a cover part 142 , a connecting part 143 , and a holding hole 144 .
  • the cover portion 140 is bent into the U shape, so that the hooking part 143 can fit into the apertures 125 , 135 of the body portion 120 , thereby covering one part of the body portions 120 , 130 .
  • the cover portion 150 includes a height part 151 , a cover part 152 , a connecting part 153 , and several holding holes 154 .
  • the body portion 150 is bent into the U shape, so that the hooking part 153 can fit into the apertures 125 , 135 of the body portion 120 , thereby covering the other part of the body portions 120 , 130 and the placing room 160 .
  • the article 170 e.g., battery of a laptop computer
  • the existing package box 100 uses the placing room 160 among the second height part 123 , 133 of the body portion and the cover part 152 of the cover portion 150 to accommodate the article 170 . This achieves the goal of supporting and protecting the article 170 . However, if the height of the article 170 is larger than the second height parts 123 , 133 of the body portions 120 , 130 , the height of second height parts 123 , 133 has to be increased in order to fit, support and protect a large-size article 170 . Thus, the whole size of the package box has to be changed as well.
  • this package box 100 can only be used on articles 170 of a specific size. Therefore, laptop computer batteries of different shapes cannot share the same package box. In this case, the production cost will be higher.
  • An objective of the invention is to provide a package box to solve the problem that the existing package box can only accommodate articles of one size. Without changing the overall material use, a gap for deformation enables the invention to accommodate articles of larger sizes. Therefore, the material stacking can be reduced, thereby increasing the shipping quantity and lowering the production cost.
  • Another objective of the invention is to provide a package box that utilizes the connection between an anti-break gap and an aperture of the article to provide the cushion effect and prevent collisions.
  • the disclosed package box includes a bottom portion, two body portions, and a cover portion.
  • the bottom portion includes a first side and a second side of equal length and in parallel, a third side and a fourth side of equal length and in parallel, and two apertures adjacent to the third and fourth sides.
  • the body portions are connected to the third and fourth sides of the bottom portion, respectively.
  • Each body portion includes a connecting aperture, a through aperture, and an upright region.
  • Each body portion is bent and fixed to the aperture of the bottom portion.
  • the through aperture is formed in the upright region.
  • the cover portion includes a first cover and a second cover.
  • the first cover is connected with the first side of the bottom portion. It includes a first hooking plate to fit into the connecting aperture of the body portion.
  • the first cover, the two opposite connecting apertures, and the body portion define an empty room.
  • the second cover is connected with the second side of the bottom portion. It includes a second hooking plate to fit into the connecting aperture and a gap formed at the center.
  • the second cover, the two opposite connecting apertures, and the empty room defines a placing room.
  • the gap of the cover portion can be pushed and deformed appropriately to accommodate an article of a larger size. It also provides stable support and protection. The total material is not increased. The invention can hold articles of different sizes. Therefore, it has the advantages of saving the material, increasing the shipping quantity in each cargo, and lowering the cost.

  • a first cover 700 , the apertures 370 , 470 , and the body portions 300 , 400 form an empty room 500 .
  • the upright regions 350 , 450 and the flat regions 360 , 460 are respectively formed inside the second height parts 330 , 430 of the body portions 300 , 400 and the body parts 320 , 420 .
  • the through apertures 380 , 480 are formed in the upright regions 350 , 450 , respectively.
  • the flat regions 360 , 460 touch against the bottom portion 200 .
  • a placing room 501 is further formed between the through apertures 380 . 480 of the body portions 300 400 and the empty room 500 for holding an article 600 therein (see FIGS. 6 and 7 ).
  • the connecting apertures 370 , 470 are long-striped cuts across the second height parts 330 , 430 and the body parts 320 , 420 , respectively.
  • Each of the borders between the second height parts 330 , 430 and the folding parts 340 , 440 is provided with a stopping part 331 , 431 , respectively.
  • the stopping part 331 , 431 is fixed to the aperture 250 of the bottom portion 200 .
  • Each of the body parts 320 , 420 is provided with a holding hole 321 , 421 .
  • the body portion 400 further includes an anti-break gap 490 parallel to the connecting aperture 470 and connecting to the through aperture 480 .
  • the anti-break gap 490 is suitably opened to provide cushion effects, preventing the article 600 from being damaged.
  • the first cover 700 is connected to the first side 210 of the bottom portion 200 and includes a height part 710 , a cover part 720 , a first hooking plate 730 in parallel, and a through hole 740 .
  • the first hooking plate 730 fits into the connecting apertures 370 , 470 of the body portions 300 , 400 .
  • the through hole 740 is formed between the first hooking plate 730 and the cove r part 720 . In the packaging state, one can readily open the first cover 700 from the body portions 300 , 400 using the through hole 740 .
  • the second cover 800 is connected to the second side 220 of the bottom portion 200 and includes a height part 810 , a cover part 820 , a second hooking plate 830 in parallel, and several holding holes 840 formed on the height part 810 .

  • the gap 850 has a cut part 851 and several fork parts 852 extending from both sides of the cut part 851 outwards.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 An article 600 is inserted into the placing room 501 .
  • the second cover 800 then covers the body portions 300 , 400 to enclose the article 600 inside the placing room. If the height of the article 600 is larger than the height of the height part 810 of the second cover 800 , the gap 850 is pushed upward. In this way, the total material of the package box can be reduced while achieving the same packaging effect. The article 600 is still supported and protected as desired.
  • the disclosed package box can accommodate articles of different sizes.
  • the gap 850 is pushed and suitably deformed so that the article 600 is stably held inside the accessory box. If the height of the article 600 is comparable to the height of the height part 810 of the second cover 800 , the gap 850 is not pushed or deformed. The article is still stably packaged therein. Therefore, the disclosed package box can be used for articles 600 of different sizes without increasing its material. The size of the package box is not modified as the article size is changed. This can reduce the production cost.
