Benefits of technology

The patent text describes various adjustable containers and panels that can be formed using a variety of techniques. These adjustable containers and panels can be used for various purposes and can be customized to different needs. The technical effects of these patent text include providing a versatile tool for creating adjustable containers and panels, which can be used for different purposes and adapted to different needs. Additionally, the patent text describes various methods for creating these adjustable containers and panels, including using folded paperboard and adding delineations and angles to create unique customization options.

Problems solved by technology

There is a safety concern with these containers, however, because the user typically cuts along the preformed delineations with a sharp blade or “box cutter” to provide a desired height.
Another issue with these types of adjustable containers is that these preformed delineations are a point of weakness.
So if not used, the preformed delineations can tear or release during transportation, allowing the contents of the package to spill or otherwise expose the contents within the container.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]FIG. 1 depicts a three-dimensional view of an illustrative adjustable container 100, according to one or more embodiments. The adjustable container 100 can include a body 160 having at least two sides (four are shown 142, 144, 152, 154) with one corner formed therebetween any two adjoining sides (four corners are shown 101, 103, 105, 107). The adjustable container 100 can further include at least one preformed delineation 120 (“first delineation”), such as a score, cut, slit, slot, perforation, or other point of weakness that is oriented in a first direction and located in at least one of the corners 101, 103, 105, 107. At least one other delineation 130 (“second delineation”) can be oriented in a second direction in the same corner as the first delineation 120. The second direction can be angled, generally perpendicular, substantially perpendicular, or exactly perpendicular to the first direction. The second delineation 130 is angled relative to the first delineation (s) 120 ...

Abstract

Adjustable containers, boxes, and panel boards used to make the same. The adjustable container can include a body that can have at least two sides forming a corner therebetween. At least one delineation can be disposed on the corner that is oriented in a first direction. At least one delineation can be disposed on the corner that is oriented in a second direction, where the second direction forms an angle of 30° or more relative to the first direction.

Description

BACKGROUNDField[0001]Embodiments described generally relate to shipping boxes or containers having adjustable depths.Description of the Related Art[0002]Shipping containers come in varying sizes and shapes. Some containers have preformed delineations, such as scores, cuts, slits, or perforations that allow a user to more easily tear away an upper portion of the container that is not needed to accommodate the size of its contents. There is a safety concern with these containers, however, because the user typically cuts along the preformed delineations with a sharp blade or “box cutter” to provide a desired height. Another issue with these types of adjustable containers is that these preformed delineations are a point of weakness. So if not used, the preformed delineations can tear or release during transportation, allowing the contents of the package to spill or otherwise expose the contents within the container.SUMMARY[0003]In at least one specific embodiment, an adjustable containe...
