Box openable at a side thereof

Abstract

A product package box for an easy taking-out of a product. The box includes multiple of sidewalls that form a body part surrounding the sides of the product, and wings that cover the multiple of sidewalls and upper and lower sides of the body part. Two of the sidewalls are separated from each other, and fastened to each other by tape. On a lower portion of the sidewall of the body, opening-inducing perforations are horizontally extended from a certain point of adjoining ends of the two separated sidewalls and at a predetermined height from the bottom of the box. The wings are integrally formed on the body part, and bent inward the body part to thereby form the upper and lower sides of the body part. By removing the tape that fastens the separated sidewalls, and by tearing along the opening-inducing perforations, one can easily open the box and thus unpack. As a result, since the product can be taken out of the box in a horizontal direction, the unpacking of the product becomes safer and easier.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A packaging container, comprising: 
 a plurality of sidewalls together forming a body of said packaging container, at least one of said plurality of sidewalls having a vertical edge separated from an adjacent one of said plurality of sidewalls; and    a line of perforations extending horizontally from a starting point disposed on said vertical edge.    
     
     
         2 . The packaging container of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 attaching means for temporarily holding together said at least one of said plurality of sidewalls and said adjacent one of said plurality of sidewalls.    
     
     
         3 . The packaging container of  claim 1 , wherein: 
 said line of perforations extends horizontally from said starting point across a width of said at least one of said plurality of sidewalls.    
     
     
         4 . The packaging container of  claim 3 , wherein said line of perforations is formed in a lower area of said body.  
     
     
         5 . The packaging container of  claim 4 , wherein said line of perforations is formed higher than a bottom of said body, to correspond to a height of a shock absorbing/lessening member disposed below a product accommodated in said body.  
     
     
         6 . The packaging container of  claim 1 , wherein said line of perforations is formed of a plurality of cuts.  
     
     
         7 . The packaging container of  claim 6 , wherein each of said cuts comprises: 
 a first cut formed in a horizontal direction; and    a second cut extended from an end of said first cut and at a predetermined angle relative to said first cut.    
     
     
         8 . The packaging container of  claim 7 , wherein said first cut is approximately 20 mm long and formed at an interval of approximately 40 mm with a next first cut, and said second cut is approximately 35 mm long, and formed at said predetermined angle of approximately 45° relative to said first cut.  
     
     
         9 . The packaging container of  claim 2 , wherein said attaching means is an adhesive tape that fastens adjoining edges of said at least one of said plurality of sidewalls and said adjacent one of said plurality of sidewalls.  
     
     
         10 . A packaging container, comprising: 
 a plurality of sidewalls together forming a body of said packaging container; and    a line of perforations formed on at least one of said plurality of sidewalls, said line of perforations allowing said at least one of said plurality of sidewalls to be torn along said line of perforations into no more than two parts.    
     
     
         11 . The packaging container of  claim 10 , wherein said line of perforations extends horizontally.  
     
     
         12 . The packaging container of  claim 11 , wherein said line of perforations is formed in a lower area of said body.  
     
     
         13 . The packaging container of  claim 12 , wherein said line of perforations is formed higher than a bottom of said body, to correspond to a height of a shock absorbing/lessening member disposed below a product accommodated in said body.  
     
     
         14 . The packaging container of  claim 10 , wherein said line of perforations is formed of a plurality of cuts.  
     
     
         15 . The packaging container of  claim 14 , wherein each of said cuts comprises: 
 a first cut formed in a horizontal direction; and    a second cut extended from an end of said first cut and at a predetermined angle relative to said first cut.    
     
     
         16 . The packaging container of  claim 15 , wherein said first cut is approximately 20 mm long and formed at an interval of approximately 40 mm with a next first cut, and said second cut is approximately 35 mm long, and formed at said predetermined angle of approximately 45° relative to said first cut.  
     
     
         17 . A sheet material foldable into a packing container, comprising: 
 a plurality of edges; and    a plurality of fold lines along which said sheet material is configured to be folded to form a plurality of sidewalls, at least one of said plurality of sidewalls having a line of perforations extending horizontally from at least one of said plurality of edges.    
     
     
         18 . The sheet material of  claim 17 , wherein said line of perforations is formed of a plurality of cuts.  
     
     
         19 . The sheet material of  claim 18 , wherein each of said cuts comprises: 
 a first cut formed in a horizontal direction; and    a second cut extended from an end of said first cut and at a predetermined angle relative to said first cut.    
     
     
         20 . The sheet material of  claim 19 , wherein said first cut is approximately 20 mm long and formed at an interval approximately of 40 mm with a next first cut, and said second cut is approximately 35 mm long, and formed at said predetermined angle approximately of 45° relative to said first cut.
