Die Innenseite des zweiten Außenwandelements 18 kommt mit der Außenseite des zweiten Wandelements 14 ebenfalls zur Anlage, wobei gleichzeitig eine Verbindung des zweiten Außenwandelements 18 mit dem zweiten Wandelement 14 über die Klebefläche 62 erfolgt.Starting from Fig. 1, the pre-folding process proceeds as follows. First, the inner area 47 of the bottom fold element 42.2 inwards, d. H. 1 away from the viewer fold line 46 folded. After that, the first wall element according to arrow direction I around the first fold line 20 the second wall element 14 folded, causing the adhesive surface 48 with the inside of the bottom folding element 42.1 combines. At the same time, the wall reinforcement tabs 50 inside, d. H. away from the viewer along their Folded lines 54 folded and with the inside of the corresponding outer wall elements 16 and 18 glued. In In this state, the outer wall elements 16, 18 on the Wall elements 12, 14 folded (arrow II). Here comes the Inside of the first outer wall element 16 on the outside of the first wall element 12 for contact. The inside of the second outer wall element 18 comes with the outside of the second wall element 14 also to the plant, wherein at the same time a connection of the second outer wall element 18 with the second wall element 14 via the adhesive surface 62 he follows.

Nach diesem Faltvorgang befindet sich die Faltschachtel 10 in einem flachen Faltzustand, der in den Fig. 2 und 3 dargestellt ist. Zum Auffalten der Faltschachtel 10 wird auf die gegenüberliegenden Außenkanten der flachen Faltschachtel 10 gemäß Fig. 2 in Pfeilrichtung P Druck ausgeübt, wodurch sich die Wandelemente 12, 14, 16, 18 konvex nach außen wölben und sich die Bodeneinheit 40 automatisch aufstellt.After this folding process, the folding box 10 is located in a flat folded state, which is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is. To unfold the folding box 10 is on the opposite outer edges of the flat folding box 10 2 in the direction of arrow P exerted pressure, whereby the wall elements 12, 14, 16, 18 arch convexly outwards and the floor unit 40 automatically sets up.

Nachdem sich die Bodeneinheit 40 aufgefaltet hat, kann die Faltschachtel 10 befüllt werden. Daran anschließend werden die Stecklaschen 36.2 des Deckelfaltelements 32.2 nach unten gefaltet und das Deckelfaltelement 32.2 insgesamt nach innen gefaltet. Danach wird das Deckelfaltelement 32.1 nach dem Umfalten seiner Stecklasche 36.1 ebenfalls nach innen umgefaltet und man erhält den in Fig. 5 im Querschnitt dargestellten Faltzustand bzw. den in Fig. 6 schematisch in einer Perspektive dargestellten Faltzustand. After the base unit 40 has unfolded, the Folding box 10 are filled. Follow it up the tabs 36.2 of the lid folding element 32.2 down folded and the lid folding element 32.2 in total folded. Then the lid folding element 32.1 after Fold over its tab 36.1 also inside folded over and you get that in Fig. 5 in cross section shown folding state or in Fig. 6 schematically in a folded state shown in perspective.

Die Randkonturen der Außenwandelemente 16 bzw. 18 sind geometrisch so ausgebildet, daß sie über die Bodeneinheit 40 bzw. Deckeleinheit 30 im aufgefalteten Zustand hinausragen. Durch das Vorsehen von zusätzlichen Wandverstärkungslaschen 50 im Bodenbereich wird die Standfestigkeit erhöht, wobei gleichzeitig durch das Überragen der Außenwandelemente 16, 18 eine klar definierte ovale Standfläche vorliegt. Gleichzeitig verhindert die Wandverstärkungslasche 50, daß sich das Bodenfaltelement 42.2 und damit die gesamte Bodeneinheit 40 wieder nach außen auffaltet.The edge contours of the outer wall elements 16 and 18 are geometrically designed so that it over the floor unit 40th or cover unit 30 protrude in the unfolded state. By providing additional wall reinforcement tabs 50 in the floor area the stability is increased, whereby at the same time by the protrusion of the outer wall elements 16, 18 there is a clearly defined oval base. simultaneously the wall reinforcement tab 50 prevents the floor folding element 42.2 and thus the entire floor unit 40 unfolds outwards again.
