DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0034] The present disclosure will become clearer in light of the following detailed description of an illustrative embodiment of this disclosure described in connection with the drawings, so that people having ordinary skill in the art can implement the present disclosure according to the description of this specification.

[0035] With reference to FIG. 5 for a quick-assembly containing box of this disclosure, the containing box is formed by cutting and folding a cardboard 100 integrally, and the containing box comprises a bottom board 10, a left-side board 11 and a right-side board 12 extending from the left and right sides of the bottom board 10 respectively, and a front-side board 13 and a rear-side board 14 extending from the front and rear sides of the bottom board 10 respectively, wherein each of the four corners at where the left- and right-side boards 11, 12 and the front- and rear-side boards 13, 14 are intersected has a linking piece 20, and each linking piece 20 has an oblique crease 21.

[0036] The oblique crease 21 of each linking piece 20 extends diagonally from a junction of the left- and right-side boards 11, 12 and the front- and rear-side boards 13, 14 as a starting point to the outer side, so as to divide each linking piece 20 into a first folding piece 22 adjacent to the front- and rear-side boards 13, 14, and a second folding piece 23 adjacent to the left- and right-side boards 11, 12.

[0037] The outer side of each first folding piece 22 has a positioning piece 24 extending from the oblique crease 21 towards the left or right side, and each positioning piece 24 is disposed on the outer side of an adjacent second folding piece 23, and a cut line 25 is formed between the positioning piece 24 and the second folding piece 23, and the cut line 25 extends from the inside to the outside up to the oblique crease 21, so that each positioning piece 24 can use the oblique crease 21 as a baseline for reversely folding towards the first folding piece 22 in advance, and the inner surface of each positioning piece 24 is stacked onto the inner surface of the first folding piece 22.

[0038] In FIG. 6, when the front- and rear-side boards 13, 14 are folded towards the middle of the bottom board 10 and stacked onto the bottom board 10, the inner surfaces of the first and second folding pieces 22, 23 of each linking piece 20 are stacked onto the left- and right-side boards 11, 12, and the outer surface of each already folded positioning piece 24 is adhered and fixed to the corresponding left- and right-side boards 11, 12 to form the containing box into a half-folded state.

[0039] In FIGS. 7 and 8, when a user pushes the left- and right-side boards 11, 12 of the half-folded state from the outside to the inside with respect to the bottom board 10 to erect the left- and right-side boards 11, 12, the positioning piece 24 of each linking piece 20 will be driven to move synchronously, and the action force transmitting through each oblique crease 21 and each first folding piece 22 will push the front- and rear-side boards 13, 14 in a forward direction to erect and form the of the three-dimensional state.

[0040] In the aforementioned embodiment, even when the linking piece 20 has no second folding piece 23 or there is a second folding piece 23 not coupled to the left- and right-side boards 11, 12 and the left- and right-side boards 11, 12 of the half-folded state is erected from the outside to the inside with respect to the bottom board 10, the positioning piece 24 and the first folding piece 22 push the front- and rear-side boards 13, 14 to erect. The arrangement of each positioning piece 24 of this embodiment requires no gap between the second folding piece 23 of each linking piece 20 and the left- and right-side boards 11, 12 for cutting the cardboard, and its advantage resides on that after the containing box is assembled into the three-dimensional state, the first and second folding pieces 22, 23 of the linking piece 20 are formed into a stacking state, and a folding edge 26 is formed at the edges of four corners at where the second folding piece 23 and the left- and right-side boards 11, 12 are intersected. Such arrangement not just increases the structural strength of the four corners at where the left- and right-side boards 11, 12 and the front- and rear-side boards 13, 14 are intersected and the longitudinal pressure resistance of the containing box only, but also improves the overall appearance by using the folding edge 26 and prevents producing rough edges.

[0041] When the containing box is situated at the half-folded state, the positioning piece 24 of each linking piece 20 is reversely folded towards the first folding piece 22 and then fixed to the left- and right-side boards 11, 12, so that when each side board is erected with respect to the bottom board 10, the positioning piece 24 and the first folding piece 22 are spread open naturally from the folded state, and a pushing force much greater than the rebound resistance produced between the first folding piece 22 and the second folding piece 23 by folding is applied to the left- and right-side boards 11, 12, so that when the containing box is assembled, the action force is transmitted from the left- and right-side boards 11, 12 to drive the positioning pieces 24 of the four linking pieces 20 and passes through the oblique crease 21 disposed on the inner side from the outside to the inside, and then drive the first folding piece 22 disposed on the inner side of the oblique crease 21 in a forward direction to push the front- and rear-side boards 13, 14 to erect, and reduce stagnation when the user applies the force, so as to achieve the effect of assembling the containing box quickly.

[0042] In addition, each linking piece 20 is coupled to the left- and right-side boards 11, 12 and the front- and rear-side boards 13, 14, so that when the containing box is situated at the half-folded state, the users can lift the front- and rear-side boards 13, 14 towards the outer side and erect them with respect to the bottom board 10, and the first folding piece 22 of each linking piece 20 is driven to move synchronously. After the action force passes through each oblique crease 21 and the positioning piece 24 adhered to the left- and right-side boards 11, 12, the left- and right-side boards 11, 12 is driven in a forward direction to be erected and assembled into the containing box of the three-dimensional state.

[0043] In summation, when the containing box is situated at the half-folded state, the left- and right-side boards 11, 12 may be pushed from the outside to the inside to drive the front- and rear-side boards 13, 14 to erect, or the front- and rear-side boards 13, 14 may also be pushed towards the outer side to erect and drive the left- and right-side boards 11, 12.

[0044] In FIGS. 8 and 9, after each positioning piece 24 is adhered and fixed to the inner surfaces of the left- and right-side boards 11, 12, the left and right edges of the left- and right-side boards 11, 12 are cut evenly to reinforce the strength of the left- and right-side boards 11, 12 and improve the longitudinal pressure resistance of the containing box, so as to prevent the containing box from being deformed by pressing easily. In addition, the positioning piece 24 is designed with an extended length to match with the left- and right-side boards 11, 12 as shown in FIG. 9, so that different sized containing boxes can maintain a high structural stability.

[0045] With reference to FIGS. 10 to 13 for the third embodiment of this disclosure, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment resides on that a cover board 30 is extended from the left and right edges of the left- and right-side boards 11, 12 separately, and an auxiliary reinforcing board 40 is extended outwardly from the front and rear edges of the front- and rear-side boards 13, 14 separately, and a flap 41 is extended from both left and right edges of the two auxiliary reinforcing boards 40 separately.

[0046] In FIGS. 10 and 11, the two auxiliary reinforcing boards 40 are reversely folded and fixed onto the corresponding inner surfaces of the front- and rear-side boards 13, 14 respectively, and the flaps 41 on both left and right sides of the auxiliary reinforcing board 40 are fixed onto the f corresponding sides of the first folding piece 22, and then the front- and rear-side boards 13, 14 and the two auxiliary reinforcing boards 40 are folded towards the middle of the bottom board 10 and stacked onto the bottom board 10 to form a containing box in a flat half-folded state, wherein the method of folding and fixing the positioning piece 24 of each linking piece 20 are the same as those of the first embodiment, and thus they will not be repeated.

[0047] In FIGS. 12 and 13, when the user pushes the left- and right-side boards 11, 12 from the outside to the inside with respect to the bottom board 10 in order to erect the left- and right-side boards 11, 12, the positioning piece 24 of each linking piece 20 can drive the first folding piece 22 in a forward direction to push the front- and rear-side boards 13, 14 and the two auxiliary reinforcing boards 40 to move upward and erect. After the first folding piece 22 and the positioning piece 24 of each linking piece 20 are spread open and stacked onto the corresponding inner surfaces of the left- and right-side boards 11, 12, and then the two cover boards 30 are folded reversely towards the inner surfaces of the left- and right-side boards 11, 12 and stacked onto the corresponding inner surfaces of the two first folding pieces 22, the two positioning pieces 24 and the two flaps 41 to maintain the beautiful appearance of the containing box.

[0048] In this embodiment, a side strip 50 is extended outwardly from the outer edge of each cover board 30 and the auxiliary reinforcing board 40. Before the containing box is folded and assembled, each side strip 50 is folded reversely and stacked onto the corresponding inner surfaces of the cover board 30 and the auxiliary reinforcing board 40, and each side strip 50 can be concealed after each cover board 30 and the auxiliary reinforcing board 40 are folded and fixed to the corresponding side board, and the cover board 30 and the auxiliary reinforcing board 40 have beautiful decorative edges after the containing box is assembled.

[0049] While the present disclosure has been described by means of specific embodiments, numerous modifications and variations could be made thereto by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of this disclosure set forth in the claims.
