  • Patent number: 4530685
    Abstract: A box assembly comprising a series of three corner connected boxes is formed from a unitary blank of sheet material. The unitary blank is suitably cut and scored to include along the length thereof twelve body panels, two pairs of tabs, each pair spaced apart by an even number of body panels, and a flap on the end of the blank. In addition, closing flaps are suitably cut and scored on the tops and bottoms of selected ones of the body panels for use in closing off the openings on the tops and bottoms of the individual boxes of the assembly. To fabricate the box assembly from the blank, the tabs of each pair of tabs are folded and glued back on themselves to form a joining flap. An adhesive is then placed on the surfaces of each of the joining flaps and the end flap. The blank is then folded over on itself such that six of the body panels on the blank are superimposed over the remaining six.

  • Patent number: 4462178
    Abstract: A display structure is formed by cutting and scoring a unitary blank of sheet material to include body panels, joining flaps, dividers and cutout corner viewing windows thereon. The unitary blank is folded in a standard folding and gluing machine to provide a flat structure which upon being erected forms four display boxes which are connected in series by joining flaps located at their diagonally opposite corners. A cutout corner viewing window or a corner viewing window created by forming a divider may be provided on the front adjacent body panels provided on the blank for selected ones of the boxes in the series. Such a structural arrangement enables the display boxes to be nested together to form a single carton with the corner viewing windows enclosed therein.
