Abstract: A box for a plumbing fixture includes first and second side panels, an end panel, and first and second corner panels, which are interconnected at parallel joints. In a first configuration, the box is collapsed and generally planar, the first side panel being folded at a central crease closer to a forward end than a rearward end thereof, and the second side panel being folded at a central crease closer to a forward end than a rearward end thereof. In a second configuration, the box is expanded such that (a) a cavity is defined between the first side, second side, end, first corner, and second corner panels, (b) the first and second side panels are generally planar, and (c) a sum of angles between the end and first corner panels and between the end panel and second corner panels is greater than 180 degrees.
Abstract translation: 用于卫生设备的箱子包括第一和第二侧面板,端面板以及在平行接头处互连的第一和第二角板。 在第一构造中,盒被折叠并且大体上是平面的,第一侧板在比其后端更靠近前端的中心折痕处折叠,并且第二侧板以更靠近前端的中心折痕折叠 比其后端。 在第二种构型中,箱被膨胀使得(a)空腔被限定在第一侧面,第二侧面,端部,第一角部和第二拐角面板之间,(b)第一和第二侧面板通常是平面的,并且 (c)端部和第一角板之间以及端板与第二角板之间的角度之和大于180度。
