发明名称 Fold line relief cuts for paperboard containers and method of fabrication
摘要 A one-piece corrugated fiberboard blank and the triple-end container assembled therefrom wherein the blank includes a rectangular bottom panel with a side panel hingedly attached to each of the two opposite sides thereof. Hingedly attached to the remaining two opposite sides of the bottom panel are first, exterior end panels, each having a hand-hold slot formed therein. Second, intermediate end panels sized in width to extend approximately half way across the first end panel in the assembled container are hingedly attached to the opposite ends of each side panel. Each intermediate end panel has a cutout complementary to the hand-hold slot in the first end panel and includes an extension hingedly attached thereto that folds back upon the intermediate end panel to form the third, innermost end panel. The extension includes a plurality of fold lines in its outer portion adjacent the common hinge between each second end panel and its respective extension, with none of the fold lines being collinear with the hinge. Accordingly, when the extension is folded back upon the second end panel, portions of extension defined by the fold lines bow-out to form an enclosure behind the hand-hold slot in the second end panel. Upon final assembly of the container, the second end panels and their extension are folded so that both enclosures at each end of the blank defined by the divergent fold lines register with the hand-hold slots of the first end panel to substantially seal the hand-holds. To ensure that the panels fold square along their fold lines, the fold lines have transverse relief cuts at the opposite ends thereof.
