Cardboard Folding Box With Split Wall Dispensing Window
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing folding boxes made of cardboard for holding hygiene wipes face difficulties in easy removal due to low flexibility of the box walls, and the need for an additional window cover glued inside the box increases production complexity and material usage.
Innovation Solution
A folding box design featuring a dividing line with two sections that create a removable window and opening without penetrating the box wall, allowing the box's wall to split and form a more elastic window cover, eliminating the need for an internal window cover.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a window cover is glued to the inside of the folding box to enable easy removal of sanitary wipes, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity and manufacturing cost increase due to additional work steps and materials
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts the window cover function from a separate glued-on component and integrates it directly into the box wall structure. The wall itself is designed with a differentiated structure where the removal window area has reduced thickness to provide the necessary elasticity, eliminating the need for separate window cover materials and gluing operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention merges the window cover function with the box wall structure. Instead of having a separate window cover layer glued to the inside, the wall itself is configured with varying thickness - thinner at the removal window area for elasticity and thicker elsewhere for strength - thereby combining the structural and functional requirements into a single integrated component.
2Ease of operation
If the wall thickness is reduced at the removal window area to increase elasticity, then ease of operation is improved, but strength of the wall is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The invention applies local quality by creating a differentiated wall structure where different areas have different thicknesses. The removal window area has reduced thickness to provide the necessary elasticity for easy operation, while other areas of the wall maintain full thickness to ensure structural strength and stability. This localized variation in material property optimizes both functionality and structural integrity.

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Facilitates easy removal of hygiene wipes while maintaining stability to prevent multiple wipes from being pulled out at once, reducing production steps and material requirements.
Implementation Method 1
the window cover is designed to be more elastic than a wall of the folding box outside the removal window

AI summary
The invention relates to a folding box made of cardboard for holding stacked hygiene wipes, wherein a prepared surface, detachable along a dividing line, is provided on the upper side of the folding box to reveal a dispensing window, and wherein a window cover is arranged in the dispensing window, and this window cover is designed to be more elastic than a wall of the folding box outside the dispensing window, and wherein the dispensing window has a dispensing opening for removing the hygiene wipes stacked in the folding box. The object of the invention is to create a folding box made of cardboard for holding stacked hygiene wipes, in which hygiene wipes can be easily removed from the folding box through the slit-like dispensing opening, but at the same time eliminates the need for a window cover glued to the inside of the folding box. This object is achieved bythat the dividing line (3) has at least a first section (3a) and a second section (3b), and that the first section (3a) of the dividing line (3) is inserted from an outside (13) of the top (2) of the folding box (1) into the wall (7) of the top (2) without completely penetrating the wall (7), and that the second section (3b) of the dividing line (3) is inserted from an inside of the top (2) of the folding box (1) into the wall of the top (2) without completely penetrating the wall (7), and that an outer contour of the second section (3b) is arranged within an outer contour of the first section (3a), and that the first section (3a) and the second section (3b) meet at least one tear point (14a, 14a', 14b,14b') touch and that, in the state of use of the folding carton (1) after removal of the detachable surface (4) to release the dispensing window (5), the window cover (6) is an area of the wall (7) of the top (2) of the folding carton (1) and in this area the wall (7) is separated and has a lesser layer thickness than the wall (7) of the folding carton (1) outside the dispensing window (5).
