Patent number: 7578426Abstract: A folded box has side walls and a base unit and/or a lid unit. At least one of the side walls has a convex curvature when the folded box is folded up. At least one supporting unit is connected to the inner wall of the convexly curved side wall and has a first adhesive tab and a second adhesive tab, which are connected to the inner wall and which are arranged spaced apart from each other in the direction of the curvature. Between the first and second adhesive tab there is a supporting tab, which is connected to the first and the second adhesive tab via a first and a second supporting tab fold, respectively. The length of the supporting tab corresponds to the distance between the first and the second adhesive tab. When the box is folded up, the supporting tab can be folded into the interior of the folded box or, folded up automatically into the interior of the folded box.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2004Date of Patent: August 25, 2009Assignee: CD Cartondruck AGInventors: Lucien Wende, Ralf Kenner
