Easily prepared box with pocket for illustrative leaflet

Abstract

Box defining in its interior a pocket into which an illustrative leaflet is inserted by the box manufacturer during formation of the box, which is formed from a single piece of punched and crease-lined cardboard in such a manner as to enable it to be easily folded along the crease lines in preparing the box in its final finished form.

We claim:  
     
         1 . A box of quadrangular cross-section comprising a plurality of consecutive main walls separated from each other by parallel longitudinal folding lines and in which at least one main wall is glued to the inside of another main wall, and also comprising two lids or panels for closing the two ends of the box and projecting from at least one of the main walls, from which they are separated by transverse crease lines or folding lines perpendicular to said longitudinal folding lines, wherein along at least one of said longitudinal folding lines there are provided a plurality or succession of separate aligned cuts.  
     
     
         2 . A box as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said main walls are at least six in number, of which four form the outer walls of the box, at least two of which are folded into the box interior, one of the inner walls being glued to an outer wall and at least one other of the inner walls being spaced from that outer wall facing and parallel to it to form therewith a pocket for housing an illustrative leaflet, wherein said cuts are provided at least along those crease lines which are mutually superposed in the outer main walls and respectively in the inner main walls of the finished box.  
     
     
         3 . A box as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the cuts provided along those crease lines which separate the inner walls of the box from each other consist of elongate windows or apertures which extend longitudinally along the crease lines themselves.  
     
     
         4 . A box as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the cuts provided along those crease lines which separate the outer walls of the box from each other are offset and displaced longitudinally with respect to the cuts provided along those crease lines which separate the inner walls of the box from each other.  
     
     
         5 . A box as claimed in  claim 2  comprising seven main walls, three of which are folded into the interior of the box about their respective crease lines, one of said inner walls being spaced from the outer wall which faces it, whereas the other two inner walls adjacent thereto and consecutive on one and respectively on the other side of the first stated inner wall are glued to the respective outer walls on which they rest.  
     
     
         6 . A box as claimed in  claim 3  comprising seven main walls, three of which are folded into the interior of the box about their respective crease lines, one of said inner walls being spaced from the outer wall which faces it, whereas the other two inner walls adjacent thereto and consecutive on one and respectively on the other side of the first stated inner wall are glued to the respective outer wall on which they rest.  
     
     
         7 . A box as claimed in  claim 4  comprising seven main walls, three of which are folded into the interior of the box about their respective crease lines, one of said inner walls being spaced from the outer wall which faces it, whereas the other two inner walls adjacent thereto and consecutive on one and respectively on the other side of the first stated inner wall are glued to the respective outer walls on which they rest.  
     
     
         8 . A punched and crease-lined sheet usable for forming boxes having the above specified characteristics.
