Abstract:
An easy to carry lightweight carton for shipping and storing cut paper and for providing rapid and easy access to the paper when the carton is opened. The carton has a base portion and a lid pivotally attached to the base portion. The lid has a tear strip being defined by two parallel successive rows of inclined cut lines. Each of the inclined cut lines having a length (K) and further being spaced apart by a distance (D) wherein the ratio of D/K is from 1:2 to 4:1. A front wall of the carton may be pivoted down when the lid is pivoted up to facilitate access to the contents of the carton for ease of unloading of paper from the carton. A carry handle is built into the lid to facilitate carrying of the carton. The carton may be re-closed after it is opened.
Abstract:
An expandable file box includes a pair of front and rear assemblies coupled together by a gusset assembly for movement toward and away from each other. Each of the front and rear assemblies includes a main panel. The main panels of the front and rear assemblies are disposed in an opposed relationship such that the gusset assembly extends between the front and rear main panels and thereby an expandable cavity for receiving an item is defined by the front and rear main panels as well as by the gusset assembly. The one of the front and rear assemblies further includes a pair of opposed side panels disposed outside the expandable cavity such that at least part of the gusset assembly is hidden from view by the side panels.
Abstract:
The invention is a binder or portfolio for carrying looseleaf paper, books, school supplies, etc. wherein the binder includes an expandable gusset attached to the front and back covers of the binder. The gusset is preferably made from an elastic material, such as neoprene, so that the gusset may expand if the binder is filled to greater than normal capacity without threatening the integrity of the binder.
Abstract:
A blank for constructing a box file, card index box, or the like which, in the made up form includes a pair of similar half shells hinged together along a common edge. The blank includes a pair of base members each having outwardly extending side portions on at least three sides which can be bent up to form side walls. Each side portion is joined to the adjacent side portion by an inwardly foldable connection section which is adapted to form a right angled corner when the blank is folded into shape. An interconnecting or stacking system for the file storing boxes is also provided. The stacking system includes a connector body having a slot or aperture and a generally U-shaped clip member having a pair of legs. Each leg of the clip is adapted to fit in a respective slot of the connector body. When two such connector bodies are suitably positioned in the adjacent walls of two corresponding boxes, the boxes may be clipped together by inserting the legs of the clip member into the adjacent slots.

Abstract:
A storage box for documents, files or the like, and having a generally rectangular body (2) with one open side for access which is sloped or angled, relative to the opposite side. Three of the side edges of the opening are also inwardly flanged, and a slightly smaller lid (4) of co-operating shape is hinged to the fourth edge (6) or to the edge of an insert (30) which divides the interior into sections. The insert may divide the interior into two or more such sections depending on the application.
Abstract:
A file box includes a main board and a bottom board. The main board includes four spaced vertical notches in one face thereof such that the main board is foldable to form four sides of the file box. The face of the main board further has a fifth notch formed in a lower section thereof and extending along a length thereof for securely holding the bottom board when the main board is folded along two inner notches of the four notches. An adhesive tape is provided to securely hold two sides of the main board together and two separate clamp members are provided to held the two sides of the main board to form a complete file box.
Abstract:
In accordance with this invention, in order that a document filing case can be piled on another document filing case in a folded state before use and can be constituted as a box with ease in use, a document filing case comprises: an upper wall member having one end portion pivotally connected to the front frame member, and the other end portion guided into longitudinal grooves formed in the rear frame member; a bottom wall member having one end portion pivotally connected to the rear frame member so as to oppose the upper wall member and the other end portion guided into longitudinal grooves formed in the front frame member; left and right side walls pivotally connected to either the upper wall member or the bottom wall member so that these side walls can rotate in a vertical direction from a folded state when the bottom wall member and the upper wall member rotate so that they are opposite to each other in a horizontal state; a rear wall attached on the rear frame member; and a front wall pivotally connected to the front frame member so that it can be opened and closed.
Abstract:
A file, formed by a rear panel, a spine part and a front panel, interconnected by means of flexible strips (live hinges), a file mechanism being disposed on the rear panel, near the spine part. According to the invention the rear panel, the spine and the front panel are designed as a case made of plastic, provided with raised edges closing against each other, with a grip formed by two grip parts on the (long) side of the front and the rear panel facing away from the spine. A case for storing documents, made up of two shell parts of plastic which are both hingedly connected to a spine part, and which are provided with raised edges closing against each other, with a grip formed by two grip parts on the (long) side of each of the shell parts facing away from the spine. According to the invention a file mechanism is provided on one of the shell parts, near the spine part, while the width of the shell parts corresponds essentially to the width of A4 format plus the width of the file mechanism. Such a case can, leaving out the file mechanism, be provided with a ring mechanism which is fitted near the (long) side of one of the shell halves facing away from the spine, preferably a four-ring mechanism of the type suitable for computer reports.
Abstract:
