Abstract In a bin box formed of corrugated board and shaped having upper, bottom and a pair of side walls, being folded into the tubular form, with a series of flaps provided at the back end to provide closure thereat, and a pivotal panel foldably connected to the bottom wall at the opposite or front end of the box, with said panel having lateral flaps foldably connected to either side, with said flaps being arranged interiorly of the box and adjacent its side walls, with protruding portions provided upon the upper end of each lateral flap so as to limit the extent of the outward pivotal disposition of the pivotal panel. Another flap connects with the upper wall at this front of the box, with said flap normally providing for full closure across this end of the box, but also includes a line of separation so that a portion of said flap can be removed, leaving a marginal flap that functions as a display panel for the box when used for marketing of granular or bulk materials.
A bin box for supporting bulk material and formed having an upper, bottom, and a pair of side walls connected together and folded to create a tubular form, a series of flaps connecting to one end of the tubular form and folded to provide closure at said end of the box, a pivotal panel foldably connected to the bottom wall at the opposite end of the box, a pair of lateral flaps, one of each lateral flap foldably connected to a side of said pivotal panel, said lateral flaps normally arranged within the tubular form of the box and adjacent to the said side walls, said pivotal panel completely covering the opposite end of the box when said panel is pivoted into closure, at least one portion being provided upon the upper end of each lateral flap and provided for wedging against the interior of the upper wall as the pivotal flap is pulled to limit the extent of its opening, said pivotal panel completely covering the opposite end of the box when said panel is pivoted into closure, and another flap foldably connecting to the upper wall at the opposite end of said box, said flap providing coverage over the pivotal panel when the box is maintained in closure.
