DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The assembly for box according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a holder 10 as shown in FIG. 1.

The holder 10 has a base plate 11 and a plurality of split blocks 12 protruding to a predetermined height on an upper surface of the base plate 11. A plurality of vertical screw holes 11a are formed on the bottom surface of the base plate 11.

A plurality of the split blocks 12 can be provided because one big block protruding from the base plate 11 to a certain height is split up by one longitudinal groove 13 extending in the longitudinal direction and a number of intersecting grooves 14 intersecting the longitudinal groove 13 in the transverse direction.

Horizontal screw holes 12a are formed in the transverse direction through a plurality of split blocks 12 located on one side of the longitudinal groove 13.

According to the holder 10 with such configurations, as shown in FIG. 2, corners can meet between rectangular front panels 1, 2 and side panels 3, 4 and be vertically coupled. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, a screw 61 is fastened through the horizontal screw hole 12a of the split block 12 with one end 3a of the side panel 3 inserted into the longitudinal groove 13 of the holder 10, so that the side panel 3 is fixed to the holder 10. In addition, one end 1a of the front panel 1 is inserted into the intersecting groove 14 of the holder 10 to keep it in vertical contact with the side panel 3.

The assembly for box according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a top cap 20 as shown in FIG. 4. The top cap 20 has a cap plate 21 and an ‘L’ protruding step 22 protruding on the surface thereof to a height as high as the thickness of the panel.

As shown in FIGS. 5a and 5b, the top cap 20 is a configuration for fixing the cover panel 5 by stacking and coupling on the base plate 11 of the holder 10. The cover panel 5 is located between the base plate 11 of the holder 10 and the cap plate 21 of the top cap 20 in a state where one corner 5a is supported by contact with the ‘L’ protruding step 22. A plurality of vertical screw holes 21a are formed through the cap plate 21, so that the cover panel 5 is fixed through the hole 21a to the holder 10 by a screw 62, which is then fastened to the vertical screw hole 11a of the base plate 11.

The cover panel 5 fixed in this way is shown in FIG. 6 which shows the holder 10 and the top cap 20 can be coupled to each other in a congruent manner through a vertically male and female coupling. FIG. 6 also shows the side panel 3 fixed to the holder 10 by fastening the screw 61. FIG. 7 shows the top cap 20 coupled to the holder 10 by the fastened screw 62.

As illustrated in FIGS. 8a and 8b, the top cap 20 has a sunken step 21a formed in the entire plate surface excluding the edge of the cap plate 21. A foot tape 40 having a thickness corresponding to twice that of the step is attached to the sunken step 21a. With this, the assembled box may be seated on the ground by allowing the foot tape 40 to contact the ground. Also, as illustrated in FIGS. 16 and 17, when the boxes 100 and 200 are stacked, the foot tape 40 is completely inserted and coupled between the sunken steps 21a which respectively belong to the cap plates 21 of the top caps 20 facing each other vertically and reversely, so that it allows a stable stacking structure to be maintained.

After the front and rear front panels 1, left and right side panels 4 and the upper and lower cover panels 5 are combined as shown in FIG. 9, the gap finishing members 50 are inserted along the corners formed between the side panels 4 and the cover panels 5 vertically facing each other by the holders 10, and also along the corners between the front panels 1 and the cover panels 5 as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11.

However, even when the gap finishing members 50 are installed, it is not possible to prevent the front and rear panels 1, 2 from separating from the left and right side panels 3, 4, specifically the front panels 1, 2 from the holders 10.

To solve this, the assembly for box according to the embodiment of the present invention further includes a front cap 30 as shown in FIG. 12.

The front cap 30 is divided into a coupling part 31 at one part and a panel support surface part 32 at the other part. As shown in FIGS. 13a and 13b, the coupling part 31 is coincidentally coupled to one longitudinal end part of the holder 10. With this, the panel support surface part 32 protrudes in the transverse direction from the holder 10, so that it can be attached to one end of the front panel 1 or 2 as shown in FIG. 14. The attachment is mediated by a foam tape 33, a type of double-sided tape attached on the panel support surface part 32 as illustrated in FIG. 12.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 15, a panel 7 for installing a lighting device may be further installed in the inner space of the box 100 at a predetermined interval from the front panel 2. The panel 7 can be installed by selecting one of the remaining intersecting grooves 14 in which the front panel 2 is not inserted, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3. Various lighting devices and wires can be stored in the space obtained between the lighting installation panel 7 and the front panel 2, so that indirect lighting may be provided to a display space S for an article located in the front side of the panel 7.

In addition, the boxes 100 and 200 assembled as described above may be stacked in two or more as shown in FIG. 16. The stacking structure in this case is the same as described in FIG. 17 and as described above with respect to the foot tape 40 of FIGS. 8a and 8b.

Meanwhile, the assembly for box described above is only an embodiment for helping the understanding of the present disclosure, so the scope of the present disclosure defined by the claims to be described below should not be limited by the above description.
