Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This relates to a wrapping box whose surface is covered with fabric to give it a tasteful appearance. [Background technology]

[0002] There are a variety of tasteful wrapping boxes, made by covering boxes made of paper, wood, metal, resin, etc. with sheet-like materials such as cloth, paper, or leather (hereinafter referred to as "cloth, etc."), pasting or sewing the material, and wrapping it. However, wrapping these items takes time and effort, and once wrapped, it is difficult to rewrap them.

[0003] Patent Document 1 shows a three-dimensional structure to which an auxiliary sheet for enhancing decorativeness, durability, etc. can be attached by a simple method. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2023-32588 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] To provide a wrapping box that can be easily made and that can be easily rewrapped or the cloth or the like can be easily replaced. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In a combination of a box (outer box) that serves as the core to make a box wrapped in cloth or the like, and an inner box (which serves to hold down the cloth or the like) that fits into the outer box, if the width of the gap created by a pair of opposing side panels of the outer box and the inner box is 1 and the dimension is the thickness of the cloth or the like to be wrapped, the width of the gap created by another pair of opposing side panels of the outer box and the inner box that are positioned at right angles to it is 2 to 3. The end of the cloth or the like wrapping the outer box is sandwiched between the inner box, so that a wrapping box wrapped in the cloth or the like can be easily made.

[0007] The dimension of one pair of opposing gaps between the outer box and the inner box is set to 1, and the dimension of another pair of opposing gaps located at right angles to it is set to 2 to 3. This is because when a square box is wrapped in a flat piece of cloth or the like, overlaps are created by folding the cloth or the like at the corners of the box. By concentrating the overlapping parts on the two opposing sides of the square outer box, a neat and symmetrical wrapping can be achieved. And even if you try to make the overlapping parts as thin as possible, there will still be at least three layers in some places. Therefore, if the thickness of the non-overlapping parts of the fabric is 1, the thickness of the overlapping parts of the fabric will be 3.

[0008] When sandwiching fabric or other materials between the outer and inner boxes, it is best to make the gap as wide as possible to minimize gaps and slack. Therefore, the gap dimensions should be different between areas where the fabric or other materials do not overlap, and areas where the fabric or other materials overlap three times, so that the force holding the fabric in place is as uniform as possible and the item can be neatly wrapped without slack. If the dimensions of the gap into which the cloth is sandwiched are close to the thickness of the cloth, a strong pulling force will be applied to the edge of the cloth, allowing the box to be wrapped neatly without sagging. The reason why the single layer is given a dimension of 1, while the triple layer is given a dimension of 2 to 3, is that even when fabric is layered, it has elasticity and does not necessarily require a dimension of 3, and the side of the box may bend and deform to a dimension of 3 even if it is made with a dimension of 2.

[0009] Furthermore, after the fabric etc. has been sandwiched between the outer and inner boxes, it is thought that the inner box will often be removed to adjust the sandwiched position of the fabric etc. or to change the fabric etc. Therefore, finger hooks such as protrusions, dents, holes and small irregularities have been formed on the two opposing inner surfaces of the inner box so that the inner box can be hooked and pulled, making it easier to remove the inner box from the outer box. Without this finger grip, it would be very difficult to remove the inner box that has been placed inside the outer box while holding down the fabric, etc. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] The wrapping box of the present invention has an advantage that the wrapping box can be easily made using fabric such as clothing fabric or kimono fabric, and the wrapping and fabric can be easily changed, so that anyone can easily make a wrapping box of their choice.

[0012] The present invention can be applied to just the lid of the box, or to both the lid and the container (the box on which the lid is placed).The lid can also be used as a wall decoration, covering a container attached to a wall. [Example]

[0013] Figure 1 shows one embodiment of the present invention, in which the lid of the box is a wrapping box 1, and box Mi 3 is not wrapped in cloth or the like 2. A is a combination of wrapping box lid 1-1 wrapped in cloth or the like 2 and box Mi 3, and B is a combination of wrapping box lid 1-1 and box Mi 3 before being wrapped in cloth or the like 2. 2 to 5 show the assembly procedure of the first embodiment of FIG. Figure 2 shows an outer box 1-3, which serves as the core of the wrapping box, placed upside down on a piece of cloth or other material 2 cut to an easy-to-wrap size.

[0014] The dimensions of the fabric, etc. 2 should be slightly smaller than the sum of the dimensions 1-32 / 1-33 of the vertical and horizontal perpendicular widths of the top surface of the outer box 1-3 (the surface that makes up the bottom and top of the box) plus four times the height dimension 1-31 of the side panel 1-51 of the outer box 1-3. The meaning of four times is that the dimension of the part that will be on the outside of one side panel 1-51 is 1, and the dimension of the part that will be woven on the inside is 1, for a total of 2, or 4 on both sides. Figure 3 shows the process of folding the fabric 2 over and over to wrap the outer box 1-3. The remaining part of the fabric 2 is folded over the four corners of the outer box 1-3 to create a single piece of fabric 2-1 and a triple-folded piece of fabric 2-2. After this, the part protruding from the outer box 1-3 is folded inside the outer box 1-3.

[0015] FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the lid with the cloth or the like 2 folded into the outer box 1-3 and fastened with a clip 6. Figure 5 shows the next step in Figure 4, where the inner box 1-4 is being fitted in place. A is a perspective view of the inner box 1-4 being brought on top of the outer box 1-3, which has been wrapped in cloth or the like 2 and fastened with clips 6. B is a perspective view of the inner box 1-4 just beginning to be fitted into the outer box 1-3. The clip 6 is a large clip, and can be held upright to hold the cloth 2, etc., and the inner box 1-4 can be fitted in as is. The cloth etc. 2 may be thick fabric, knitted fabric, leather, etc. as long as it has a certain degree of softness.

[0016] FIG. 6 shows the outer box 1-3 wrapped in a cloth or the like 2 and pressed down with an inner box 1-4 to form the lid 1-1 of the wrapped box, with the lid turned inside out. In Example 1, the thickness of the cloth or the like 2 is 0.5 mm, and the portion 2-1 consisting of only one piece of cloth or the like is inserted 0.5 mm into the gap 4-1 formed by the pair of side panels 1-51 of the outer box 1-3 and 1-52 of the inner box 1-4, which face each other. The portion 2-2 in which the cloth or the like is folded three times is inserted 1.5 mm into the gap 4-2 formed by the pair of side panels 1-51 of the outer box 1-3 and 1-52 of the inner box 1-4, which face each other and are positioned perpendicular to the gap.

[0017] 7 shows that there is sufficient space in the gap 4-1, and the spacer 5 is inserted into the gap 4-1 in the direction of the arrow 5-1. This allows the fabric 2 to fit more snugly against the outer box 1-3. When inserting the spacers 5, it is preferable to insert them into both of the two opposing gaps, so that the cloth 2 can be aligned with the outer box 1-3 in a balanced manner.

[0018] By using the spacer 5, when a bulging wrapping box 1 is made by placing a thin sponge or elastic cloth on the top surface of the outer box 1-3 and then covering it with a cloth 2, the cloth 2 can be more firmly fitted to the outer box 1-3, and a beautiful wrapping box 1 with a bulging top surface can be made. If the cloth, etc. 2 is a personally owned fabric, a fabric that you have feelings for, or a fabric with a memorable pattern, it will become an even more cherished box. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB' in FIG. 9 of the first embodiment, and FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA' in FIG. 8 of the first embodiment. [Example]

[0019] Figure 10 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which not only the lid but also the container itself is a wrapping box. Therefore, the container capacity is smaller than when the container is not a wrapping box. [Example]

[0020] Figure 11 shows one embodiment of the present invention, a wrapping box 1 of the so-called inro-type box with the same planar area for the lid and the inner box. If the dimensions of the upper part 1-7 of the inner box 1-4 protruding from the outer box 1-3 on the inner box side and the dimensions of the recessed part of the outer box 1-3 on the lid side to the inner box 1-4 are the same or larger, the lid and the inner box will close without any gaps. Conversely, if the dimensions of the recessed portion of the outer box 1-3 on the lid side to the inner box 1-4 are smaller than the dimensions of the upper portion 1-7 of the inner box 1-4 that protrudes from the outer box 1-3 on the Mi side, then when the lid and Mi are closed, the upper portion 1-7 of the Mi inner box will be visible between the lid and Mi. FIG. 12 is a vertical cross section of the third embodiment. [Example]

[0021] FIG. 13 shows an embodiment of the present invention, which is a decorative panel of a wrapping box 1 in which the bottom of the box 3 is fastened to a wall 8 with a stapler 7 and the wrapping box lid 1-1 is placed on the box 3. The decorative panel can be easily attached and removed by simply covering the wrapping box lid 1-1 with the panel 3 attached to the wall 8. It is also easy to replace the cloth 2 of the decorative panel. Furthermore, if the box is made from a cardboard box, it can be made lighter and the burden on the wall 8 will be smaller.

[0022] FIG. 14A is a perspective view from the bottom left looking up at the bottom of the mirror 3 after it has been fastened to the wall 8 with a stapler 7. Figure 14B is a perspective view looking up from the bottom left of the wrapping box lid 1-1 placed on Mi 3. For example, by arranging many of this invention's 30cm square decorative panels, a large wall decoration can be created. FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view of the state where the stapler of the fourth embodiment is fastened. [Example]

[0023] As a variation of the finger rest 1-6 of the inner box 1-4, it may be a protruding or recessed shape, or may be one that prevents slippage, as long as it has a shape that allows the finger to rest. FIG. 16A shows the finger rest 1-6 shown in Example 1-4, which has the same width as the side plate 1-52 of the inner box 1-4 and also serves to reinforce the strength of the side plate 1-52. Figure 16B shows a smaller version of the finger rest 1-6 of A. It can also be easily attached after the inner box 1-4 is completed. FIG. 16C shows a finger rest 1-6 with small indentations attached to the inside of the side panel 1-52 of the inner box 1-4, and because the indentations are small, the finger rest is weak. Figure 16D shows a finger rest 1-6 created by drilling a hole in the side panel 1-52 of the inner box 1-4. This makes it easy to rest your fingers on and reduces the thickness of the side of the wrapping box 1, allowing for a larger capacity than other wrapping boxes, but it reduces the strength of the side panel 1-52. [Industrial Applicability]

[0024] The present invention allows a user to easily and quickly make a cloth-wrapped box, and is therefore applicable to applications such as making small cloth-wrapped boxes using fabric that an individual has on hand, or creating decorative walls for a room. [Explanation of symbols]
