  • Patent number: 12024334
    Abstract: The invention relates to an element (1) to be arranged in a corner of a parallelepipedic cage-like structure where a bottom or a top plane of the structure meets two walls of the structure extending perpendicularly to this plane and to each other. The element (1) comprises a bottom portion (2), outer wall portions (6, 7), inner wall portions (9, 10) and wall members (16, 17) so as to receive components of said structure in the form of first and second board-like members, such as wooden planks, therebetween with wide sides of these board-like members bearing on each other. The inner wall portions (9, 10) each comprises a spring member (90, 100) configured to bear onto and urge a said second board-like member to press a said first board-like member against an outer wall portion (6, 7), so as to clamp these board-like members between a couple of inner (9, 10) and outer (6, 7) wall portions. The invention also relates to a cage-like structure provided with such elements (1) at said corners thereof.

  • Publication number: 20230128021
    Abstract: The invention relates to a box casing (1), such as a transport box, for shipment and/or storing of goods, which is cost-effective to produce and easy to assemble while at the same time having a considerable strength. The box casing comprises a tray-like bottom member (2) and two wall members (7, 8), each having three interconnected casing walls (9, 10a-b, 13, 14a-b). The wall members are foldable to a position standing in the bottom member and to a substantially flat state to be placed lying on the bottom member, for transferring the box casing between an assembled and a collapsed state. Each wall member comprises corner elements (15) configured to hold the casing walls in place by a resilient function. The invention also relates to a kit for creating such a box casing, as well as use thereof.
