Abstract:
A box closure apparatus is provided for securing flaps of a box in the closed position. The box closure apparatus comprises an upper flange, a bottom flange and a web. The flaps are secured by engaging the apparatus with two flaps and sliding the apparatus toward a third flap. The flaps are released by sliding the apparatus away from the third flap and raising the two side flaps.
Abstract:
A three-pronged box flap closure device is provided for securing together three box flaps of a moving box or carton without the use of adhesive tape or overlapping the box flaps to secure the same together. One or more closure devices are contemplated for each box end, wherein each closure device comprises a first and second upper prong member forming a substantial V-shape with a common apex. A third prong member extends from the apex and between the first and second prong members, wherein the third prong member is disposed below the plane created by the first and second prong members. The first and second prong members are adapted to be positioned over a pair of aligned box flaps, while the lower prong member extends beneath a third, undermost box flap below the aligned box flaps, thereby sandwiching the three box flaps together along one side of the box end.
Abstract:
A box flap securing device for securing two opposing box flaps in a closed position wherein the box flap securing device includes a bottom member having an edge, a top member disposed a distance from the bottom member and in an overlying relationship with the bottom member, and a post interconnecting the bottom member and the top member. The post has an edge which is disposed in a coextensive relationship with at least a portion of the edge of the bottom member whereby the bottom member, top member and post cooperate to define a box flap receiving slot having a height at least equal to the thickness of the box flap but less than two times the thickness of the box flap.

Abstract:
The present reusable packaging box having the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped includes four lateral walls (1, 2, 3, 4) joined together in such a manner that the lateral periphery of the box is closed, as well as two cover parts (5, 6) and bottom parts (7, 8), all substantially rectangular, forming each one an edge with a respective lateral wall and having a free border parallel to this edge. The free borders (5a, 6a) of the two cover and bottom parts include each one a profile of which the cross-section and the construction are such that these free borders can be joined together by the mutual engagement of these profiles.
Abstract:
A frame for securely retaining a bundle of elongated members, as for example cigarettes, within a container is provided. The container includes a bottom box panel, a top lid box panel, opposing right and left side box panels, and opposing front and back box panels. The frame is inserted into the container and comprises: a front frame panel portion defined by a left side and a right side, and a top and bottom margin; a left side frame panel connected to the front panel along the left side of the front panel, the left side panel including a left side biasing portion formed therein; and a right side frame panel connected to the front frame panel along the right side of the front panel, the right side panel including a right side biasing portion formed thereupon. The frame is erected and inserted into the box so that the front frame panel is contiguous with the front box panel, the left frame panel is contiguous with the left side box panel, and the right frame panel is contiguous with the right side box panel.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a device for fixing fasteners to the flaps of corrugated cardboard boxes for sealing the flaps. With the fastener placed across the adjoining edges of at least two flaps, piercing nails in the form of a cow horn and attached to a pair of turnable pieces on the fastener are driven into the flaps by the device. The device is characterized in that two reciprocally movable sliders (12, 13) move to drive a cutting blade (17), causing the blade to separate a fastener from other fasteners, and subsequently drive pivotal members (29a, 29b) to depress the turnable pieces on the fastener, driving the piercing nails into the flaps. Fasteners can be fixed in place easily and reliably.
