Folding box

Abstract

The invention relates to a folding box ( 1 ), comprising a bottom ( 2 ) and several side walls ( 3 ), which are rotatably connected to the bottom ( 2 ), wherein the bottom ( 2 ) has a first concave/convex connection surface (a) and at least one side wall ( 3 ) has a second convex/concave connection surface (b), which interacts with the first connection surface (a) in order to connect the at least one side wall ( 3 ) to the bottom ( 2 ). According to the invention, the bottom ( 2 ) has a third concave/convex connection surface (c) and the at least one side wall ( 3 ) has a fourth convex/concave connection surface (d), wherein the third and/or the fourth connection surface (c, d) is cylindrical. The third and the fourth connection surfaces (c, d) are arranged in such a way that a sliding of the at least one side wall ( 3 ) relative to the bottom ( 2 ) in the second direction (x 2 ) is enabled in a first rotational position of the side wall ( 3 ) and is prevented in a second rotational position.

1 . A folding box ( 1 ), comprising a bottom ( 2 ) and a plurality of side walls ( 3 ) connected rotatably with the bottom ( 2 ), wherein
 the bottom ( 2 ) comprises a first concave/convex connection surface (a)   at least one side wall ( 3 ) comprises a second convex/concave connection surface (b), which for joining the at least one side wall ( 3 ) with the bottom ( 2 ) cooperates with the first connection surface (a), wherein   the first and/or the second connection surface (a, b) is cylindrical to enable the said rotational movement about an axis of rotation (z) and wherein   the first and the second connection surface (a, b) are arranged such that a displacement of the at least one side wall ( 3 ) relative to the bottom ( 2 ) is prevented in at least one first direction (x 1 ) perpendicular to the axis of rotation (z) and is enabled in a second direction (x 2 ) opposite the first direction (x 1 ),   
       wherein
 the bottom ( 2 ) has a third concave/convex connection surface (c) and 
 the at least one side wall ( 3 ) has a fourth convex/concave connection surface (d), wherein 
 the third and/or the fourth connection surface (c, d) is cylindrical to enable the said rotational movement about the axis of rotation (z) and wherein 
 the third and the fourth connection surface (c, d) are arranged such that a displacement of the at least one side wall ( 3 ) relative to the bottom ( 2 ) in the second direction (x 2 ) is made possible in a first rotational position of the side wall ( 3 ) and is prevented in a second rotational position. 
 
     
     
         2 . The folding box ( 1 ) as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the second and the third connection surface (b, c) are convex-cylindrical. 
     
     
         3 . The folding box ( 1 ) as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first and the fourth connection surface (a, d) are concave-cylindrical. 
     
     
         4 . The folding box ( 1 ) as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first, concave connection surface (a) encloses an angle of 180% the second, convex connection surface (b) encloses an angle of 360% the third, convex connection surface (c) encloses an angle of 180% and the fourth, concave connection surface (d) encloses an angle of 90°. 
     
     
         5 . The folding box ( 1 ) as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first and the second connection surface (a, b) are locked. 
     
     
         6 . The folding box ( 1 ) as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first direction (x 1 ) parallel to the bottom ( 2 ) points away from the inside of the folding box ( 1 ).
