The connecting unit side body 3 which has been subjected to the above processing as shown in
A required number of sets of the bottom plate 9 and the insertion fixing device are prepared for shipping, storage, transportation and use. This method is suitable for manufacturing square assembly boxes.

The material of the material of the unit side face 1, the continuous side face 2, the corner member 5, the bottom plate 9 and the like used in the present invention is not specified, and wood, synthetic resin, cured cardboard or the like may be used alone, or It is possible to use mixed use such as.

The product of the present invention can be manufactured by either cutting or die manufacturing. For example, when the corner member 5 is manufactured by cutting, the connecting material 6 is used as shown in FIGS.
The height of the unit side surface body 1 is defined as the length of the plate-shaped base material 50 of the corner member 5 such as a veneer plate or a thin plate to which is attached, or FIG.
(A) As shown in (b), the corner member 5 to be used is cut to have a length dimension that is an integral multiple of the height, and the surface to which the connecting material 6 is attached faces down and the required internal angle with the bending wire 8 as the apex. The V-shaped incision (V-shaped cut) constituting the above is performed up to just above the connecting material 6. This V-shaped cut (V-shaped cut) is shown in FIG.
The corner member 5 may be used alone as used in the manufacturing method of the third means shown in (b), and FIG.
As shown in FIG. 4, which shows a cross section of the V-shaped cut (V-shaped cut) of the second means shown in FIG. A V-shaped cut (V-shaped cut) may be provided up to a position (predetermined position) immediately above where the connecting material 6 is left, and the connecting unit side surface body 3 may be obtained from the continuous side surface body 2. By these processes, the corner member 5 becomes flexible, and the unit side face body 1 and the continuous side face body 2 fixed to the corner member 5 become the connected unit side face body 3 which is bendable and extendable along the connecting ridge line.

When a groove 10 for cutting the predetermined position of the connecting unit side surface body 3 to insert the bottom plate 9 is provided, the groove 10 is formed.
If V is cut after V-shaped cutting (V-shaped cutting)
Cutting burrs at the time of die cutting (V-shaped cutting) are not left in the groove 10, the appearance of the product is improved, and the work of inserting the bottom plate 9 and the subsequent work of assembling the box can be performed smoothly and quickly, which is desirable.

Since the assembly box of the present invention basically does not require an adhesive, there is no problem in terms of food hygiene or hygiene of toys for infants, and disassembling and assembling is easy, so that the assembly box can be assembled during storage. Since storage and transportation can be disassembled into a minimum space, storage and transportation costs are significantly reduced.

Further, the connecting unit side surface body 3 used in the present invention.
Is a plate type with a watermark pattern shown in FIG.
The present invention is not limited to the two upper and lower crosspiece shapes shown in (B), and two or more crosspiece shapes, a plain plate shape, a printed pattern plate shape, etc. can be used without any trouble.

When a lid (not shown) is required for the assembly box of the present invention, the connecting unit side body 3 and the corner member 5 are provided.
The cover type lid in which the heights of the connecting members are fitted to each other and the corner member 5 is made higher than the height of the connecting unit side body 3 by the thickness of the lid to be used and held by the corner member. Can be used as

The connecting material 6 is made of a polymer compound such as nylon, polyethylene, vulcanized rubber, phenol resin, and a synthetic polymer compound such as synthetic resin, synthetic fiber, synthetic rubber, etc. A highly flexible film or sheet or the equivalent thereof can be used.
In addition, it is possible to use the woven fabric alone or to use the both in combination.

[0020]

According to the present invention, since the above-mentioned operation is brought about by the above-mentioned means, there is no space required for the storage management and transportation of the assembly box, and therefore the conventional box of the same kind is inevitably necessary. There is no waste of space, and storage management, transportation workability, safety, handling, and storability as products or merchandise are markedly improved, and transportation costs, packaging costs, and warehouse costs are significantly reduced. In addition, the use of Calkata, which can be used as lumber in 3 to 4 years for timber, can prevent environmental damage and enable new industries to be located. This has a great effect on this kind of field and has a ripple effect on related fields. Is also extremely large.
