Abstract
Abstract A receptacle is provided, the side walls of which are formed entirely of panels of isosceles triangular shape having two sides of equal length and a third side connecting the ends of the two sides of equal length. Four similar upper intermediate isosceles triangular panels are arranged with their third sides on a common plane. Four diamond-shaped panel portions are provided divided into upper and lower isosceles triangular portions hinged along their third sides. The upper of said triangular portions are connected to the equal length sides of said upper intermediate triangular panels. There are four lower similar intermediate isosceles triangular panels having their third sides on a common plane parallel to the first mentioned common plane. The equal length sides of said lower intermediate triangular panels are foldably connected to the equal length sides of said the lower triangular portions of said diamond-shaped panel portions. Bottom closure flaps are hingedly connected to the third sides of said lower intermediate panels.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
A blank for forming a receptacle including: four similar diamond-shaped panel portions each, including upper and lower isosceles triangular portions connected along an intermediate fold line, four upper intermediate isosceles triangular panels connecting the equal length edges of said upper isosceles triangular portions of said diamond-shaped panel portions along fold lines, four lower intermediate isosceles triangular panels connecting the equal length edges of said lower isosceles triangular portions of said diamond-shaped panel portions along fold lines, the third edges of said four upper intermediate isosceles triangular panels terminating on a common plane, the third edges of said lower intermediate isosceles triangular panels terminating in a common plane parallel to said first common plane and parallel to the intermediate fold line, and closure flaps hingedly secured to said third edges of said lower intermediate isosceles triangular panels.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
136 words
