Benefits of technology

[0006]The device of the present invention comprises a cardboard box for protectively storing perishable paper products that includes protective materials that protect the box and its contents from any of a number of threats including water damage, fire damage, insects, mold and fungi. The box comprises a bottom wall, side walls and a lid that surround and define an interior cavity in which the paper products are stored. Each of the bottom wall, side walls and lid are made from cardboard. Protective materials are applied to one or more of the bottom wall, side walls and lids by either impregnating the cardboard with a suitable chemical, applying a film over the cardboard or spraying a coating thereover. Suitable chemicals that produce the desired properties include, but are not limited to wax, oil, plastic, polybrominated diphenyl ether, polybrominated biphenyl, brominated cyclohydrocarbons, boric acid and hydrogen peroxide.

Problems solved by technology

Offices and individuals frequently need to store materials such as files and papers for long periods of time.
Plastic tubs are convenient and protect the materials stored therein from dangers such as liquid exposure, but can be relatively expensive if large volumes of materials need to be stored.
Cardboard boxes on the other hand are inexpensive and convenient, but they are vulnerable to dangers such as water damage, fire, insects and mold.

first embodiment

[0019]Referring to FIG. 4, there is shown a portion of side wall 52 comprising a first and a second planar sheet 60, 62 of cardboard which sandwich a corrugated sheet 64 of cardboard thereinbetween. It will be understood by those skilled in the art, that the bottom wall, side walls 52 and lid 58 of box 50 may be made up from any number of a plurality of planar and corrugated sheets that are layered and bonded together to form a unitary member of the required strength, without departing from the spirit of the present invention. The following illustrations show a box wall 52 made from two planar sheets and one corrugated sheet for the sake of clarity only. FIG. 4 illustrates the side wall 52 in which one or more of sheets 60, 62 and 64 are impregnated with a protective material as will be hereinafter described.

second embodiment

[0020]FIG. 4A shows side wall 152 that includes a layer of protective material 166 therein. In this instance, layer 166 is applied over second sheet 162 and, because second sheet 162 forms the exterior surface of side wall 152, protective layer 166 forms the external surface of the storage box.

third embodiment

[0021]Referring to FIG. 4B, there is shown a side wall of the box, being generally indicated at 252. Side wall 252 comprises first and second planar sheets 260, 262 of cardboard which sandwich a corrugated layer 264 thereinbetween. Protective layer 266 is applied over first sheet 260 and thus forms the interior surface of the box in accordance with the present invention.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]This invention generally relates to storage materials. More particularly, the invention relates to storage boxes made from corrugated cardboard. Specifically, the invention relates to corrugated cardboard storage boxes that have protective materials incorporated therein.[0003]2. Background Information[0004]Offices and individuals frequently need to store materials such as files and papers for long periods of time. Typically, these materials are placed in some sort of storage box for safekeeping. These boxes may take a variety of forms including plastic tubs or corrugated cardboard boxes with lids. Plastic tubs are convenient and protect the materials stored therein from dangers such as liquid exposure, but can be relatively expensive if large volumes of materials need to be stored. Cardboard boxes on the other hand are inexpensive and convenient, but they are vulnerable to dangers such as water damage, fire, insects and mold.[...
