This application claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 20-2006-0032420, filed Dec. 22, 2006, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
The present invention relates to a packing paper box, and more particularly, to a packing paper box, in which a piece of packing paper is folded, first and second connecting sections are combined, and third and fourth connecting sections are combined, whereby a user can easily make without cutting packing paper.
In general, a packing paper box is used to pack articles on a box basis. A conventional packing paper box is formed by cutting packing paper alternately or integrally so that a wide width face defining front and rear surfaces and a narrow width face defining both side surfaces can be folded. Wings defining adhesion portions are formed integrally with upper and lower portions of each face. After the respective faces are bent at a right angle, the wings overlapping with each other adhere to each other for an upper portion to be open, thereby defining a accommodation space for a rectangular hexahedral article. In a state where articles are put in the accommodation space, the wings of the open portion are bent to overlap with each other, and their contact portions adhere to each other to pack the articles.
As the packing paper box is made by cutting the packing paper, a lot of packing paper wastes are generated, which increases resource consumption and incurs expenses of processing the packing paper wastes. Therefore, the packing paper box is not economical and environment-friendly.
In addition, when food is packed with the packing paper box, a user should put his/her hand into the packing paper box accommodating the food to take the food out. Moreover, the user should put the food accommodated in the packing paper box in a container such as a tray or a dish to conveniently enjoy the food, which is inconvenient.
An object of the present invention is to allow a user to easily make a packing paper box without cutting packing paper by folding a piece of packing paper, combining first and second connecting sections, and combining third and fourth connecting sections.
According to an aspect of the present invention for achieving the object, there is provided a packing paper box made of packing paper having an advertising surface. The packing paper box comprises a body portion having an accommodation space defined therein and including first and second connecting sections; a cover portion, the body portion being covered with the cover portion; and a connection portion including third and fourth connecting sections formed to each other between the body portion and the cover portion, wherein the first and second connecting sections are combined with each other, and the third and fourth connecting sections are combined with each other.
Each of the first and second connecting sections may comprise a pair of cut-off lines formed in same position in a folded state, the corresponding connecting section being inserted into the pair of cut-off lines.
Each of the third and fourth connecting sections may comprise a pair of cut-off lines formed in facing positions in a folded state, the corresponding connecting section being inserted into the pair of cut-off lines.
The connecting sections may comprise perforations formed to extend from the pair of cut-off lines.
The body portion may comprise a bottom section, left and right sections, a front section and a rear section to define the accommodation space.
At this time, vents are preferably formed in the left and right sections.
The cover portion may comprise an upper section, and an extension section extending from the upper section to be bent.
At this time, the extension section preferably comprises a catching portion to be inserted into a fixing hole formed in the body portion.
Preferably, the cover portion further comprises left and right extension sections extending from the upper section to left and right sides to be bent.
In a folded state, any one of the first and second connecting sections may have a first cut-off line formed to be open downward, and the other connecting section may have a second cut-off line formed to be open upward, the connecting sections being combined by fitting the second cut-off line to the first cut-off line.
At this time, each of the third and fourth connecting sections may comprise a pair of cut-off lines formed in facing positions in the folded state, and a cut-off line formed in a position corresponding to the pair of cut-off lines, the corresponding connecting section being inserted into the pair of cut-off lines and the cut-off line.
A vent may be formed in the upper section.
An opening/closing portion for opening and closing the vent may be installed to the cover portion.
Preferably, a cut-off line is formed between diagonal fold lines in any one of the third and fourth connecting sections, and perforations are formed in diagonal fold lines in the other connecting section, the connecting section with the cut-off line formed therein being combined with the perforations, the connecting section with the perforations formed being fit and fixed into the cut-off line.
Left and right connection portions of the body portion may be rounded.
The left and right extension sections of the cover portion may be rounded.
A string for portability may be attached to the extension section.

A packing paper box according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to
Referring to
A material of the packing paper 1 is paper.
Although paper is used as the material of the packing paper 1 in this embodiment, the present invention is not limited thereto. Any foldable material can be used.
On the packing paper 1, fold lines 1a to 1f are formed in vertical and horizontal directions, and fold lines 13a, 14a, 24a and 25a are formed in diagonal directions.
In addition, in the packing paper 1, each pair of first and second cut-off lines 11a and 12a are formed at the same position in a folded state, and each pair of third and fourth cut-off lines 21a and 22a are formed at facing positions in the folded state.
Moreover, in the packing paper 1, first to fourth perforations 11b, 12b, 21b and 22b are formed to extend from the first to fourth cut-off lines 11a, 12a, 21a and 22a, respectively.
Further, in the packing paper 1, vents 15 are formed in left and right sections of the body portion 10, and a vent 27 is formed in an upper section of the cover portion 20.
In this embodiment, referring to
Particularly, as shown in
Moreover, a fixing hole 16 is formed in the packing paper 1 so that a catching portion 23 formed in an extension section of the cover portion 20 can be fixedly inserted thereinto.
At this time, fifth and sixth cut-off lines 23a are formed to extend to both sides of the catching portion 23 formed in the cover portion 20, and fifth and sixth perforations 23b are formed to extend from the fifth and sixth cut-off lines 23a.
Referring to
The front section 10a is formed by folding the packing paper 1. That is, the packing paper 1 is folded along the first and second fold lines 13a and 14a formed on the body portion 10 in the diagonal directions, so that first and second connecting sections 13 and 14 are formed. An end of the first connecting section 13 is fit into and connected to the pair of second cut-off lines 12a formed in the second connecting section 14, and an end of the second connecting section 14 is fit into and connected to the pair of first cut-off lines 11a formed in the first connecting section 13, whereby the front section 10a is completed.
The front section 10a is formed with a region of the packing paper 1 provided with the first and second diagonal fold lines 13a and 14a and the fixing hole 16 with respect to the third fold line 1c crossing the first and second fold lines 1a and 1b.

Although the end of the second connecting section 14 is inserted into the first cut-off lines 11a, the first perforations 11b prevent the packing paper 1 around the first cut-off lines 11a from tearing.
In addition, although the end of the first connecting section 13 is inserted into the second cut-off lines 12a, the second perforations 12b prevent the packing paper 1 around the second cut-off lines 12a from tearing.
When the front section 10a is formed, the left and right sections 10c and the bottom section 10b are also completed. The bottom section 10b is made with a central region which does not have the vent 15 among regions of the packing paper 1 between the third fold line 1c and the fourth fold line 1d. The left and right sections 10c are made with regions of the packing paper 1 with the vents 15 formed therein between the third fold line 1c and the fourth fold line 1d.
Referring to
That is, when the packing paper 1 is folded along the third and fourth fold lines 24a and 25a formed between the body portion 10 and the cover portion 20 in the diagonal directions, the third and fourth connecting sections 24 and 25 are formed. An end of the third connecting section 24 is fit into and connected to the pair of fourth cut-off lines 22a formed in the fourth connecting section 25, or an end of the fourth connecting section 25 is fit into and connected to the pair of third cut-off lines 21a formed in the third connecting section 24, whereby the rear section 10d is completed.
At this time, the third and fourth cut-off lines 21a and 22a are formed in the facing positions in the folded state, and the third and fourth perforations 21b and 22b are formed to extend from the third and fourth cut-off lines 21a and 22a.
When the end of the third connecting section 24 is inserted into the fourth cut-off lines 22a, or when the end of the fourth connecting section 25 is inserted into the third cut-off lines 21a, the third and fourth perforations 21b and 22b prevent the packing paper 1 around the third and fourth cut-off lines 21a and 22a from tearing.
As described above, the front section 10a, the bottom section 10b, the left and right sections 10c and the rear section 10d of the body portion 10 can be easily formed by folding the packing paper 1 along the first to sixth fold lines 1a to 1f of the horizontal and vertical directions and the first to fourth fold lines 13a, 14a, 24a and 25a of the diagonal directions, and combining the first to fourth connecting sections 13, 14, 24 and 25. The body portion 10 is covered with the cover portion 20, thereby completing the packing paper box.
The cover portion 20 includes an upper section 20a, and first to third extension sections 20b to 20d extending from the upper section 20a to be bent. At this time, the first and second extension sections 20b and 20c are left and right extension sections extending from the upper section 20a to the left and right sides to be bent, and are formed at the left and right sides of the third extension section 20d with the catching portion 23 formed therein.
The catching portion 23 formed in the third extension section 20d is inserted and fixed into the fixing hole 16 formed in the body portion 10. Therefore, unless the cover portion 20 is open by external force, the cover portion 20 would not be open.
As set forth herein, the catching portion 23 formed in the third extension section 20d of the cover portion 20 is inserted and fixed into the fixing hole 16 formed in the body portion 10, thereby completing the packing paper box.
Accordingly, the packing paper box including the body portion 10 and the cover portion 20 can be easily formed by folding a piece of packing paper 1 and combining the first to fourth connecting sections 13, 14, 24 and 25.
In addition, since the packing paper box is made to accommodate food in the body portion 10, a user can have the food in the packing paper box by simply releasing the first to fourth connecting sections 13, 14, 24 and 25.
Although in this embodiment, the food is accommodated in the packing paper box, the present invention is not limited thereto.
