Abstract

A box for transportation that has a bottom, which is composed of just one panel of paper, can be assembled without any particular fixing method in order to prevent loss of the contents inside of the box. After the two panels of one side of the box are overlapped, the perforations formed around the handle hole are joined and supported by a handle support thereby solving the problems of the prior art.

Claims

1. A box for transportation, comprising;

a bottom, composed of one panel of paper,

first side panels and second side panels connected to the bottom, wherein the first side panels have handle holes and perforations formed around the handle holes,

third side panels which extend from the second side panels and overlap the first side panels when the box is assembled, the third side panels having handle holes that overlap with the handle holes of the first side panel when the box is assembled and perforations that overlap with the perforations formed around the handle holes when the box is assembled,

a handle support which inserts through both sides of the handle holes on the first and third side panels when the box is assembled, wherein the handle support is formed as two separate pieces that are joined by a folding connection, and,

a biased retaining member and a sleeve formed to combine through the perforations in the first and third side panels and secure the handle support in the handle holes on the first and third side panels when the box is assembled.

2. The box for transportation of claim 1, wherein the folding apparatus is molded with a soft material by double injection.

3. The box for transportation of claim 1, wherein the handle support has protrusion hoops formed on one side of the handle support to fold together and support the handle hole when the handle support is inserted through the handle holes on the first and third side panels when the box is assembled.

4. The box for transportation of claim 1, wherein the handle support has perforations through which a separate biased retaining member and sleeve can interlock to hold the handle support in place through the handle holes on the first and third side panels when the box is assembled.

5. The box for transportation of claim 1, wherein the biased retaining member is formed as an elasticity flake having a hooking protrusion, and wherein the sleeve has a hooking hoop having an inclined region facing one external opening formed on the inside of the sleeve such that the biased retaining member can be easily inserted into and interlock with the sleeve.
