The invention relates to a structure comprising at least two sets of folds which is made from laminate materials, such as paper, board, plastic, metal or any other material that is sufficiently rigid and flexible in order to be structured and folded. Each of the aforementioned sets of folds is formed by one curved fold and another straight fold which are folded in opposite directions. The purpose of the invention is to provide a novel pressing or clamping mechanism and a hinge mechanism which is intended for use in the design of articles such as plates, containers, clamps, articles bearing laminate objects and/or volumes, packaging and lamp shades and for use as a hinge device for articles such as doors and lids or with hinged parts. According to the invention, the structure comprises folds which are made from the central area of the laminate, which forces the outer area of said laminate to form the walls of the structure and, thereby, prevent spillages. In this way, containers designed with said structure system can be used to contain liquids without any spillages occurring if the container is made from an impermeable material, such as plastic. The invention can be used to produce products having an innovative design at a low cost using traditional methods such as die cutting and punching. The invention serves to reduce the area needed for the storage and transport of the above-mentioned products, since the finished product can comprise one flat laminate, and thereby reduces the production and labour costs of same. |
