Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a plate (1) which can be converted by the user easily and quickly into a solid box. The plate (1) comprises a bottom surface (2) and two pairs of lateral surfaces (3, 4). A connecting flap (6) is connected to each end of the first pair of lateral surfaces (3) through a second fold line (7), to which connecting flap (6) an attachment flap (9) is connected through a third fold line (8). In a plane position wherein the first pair of lateral surfaces (3) are folded against the bottom surface (2), the attachment flaps (9) are attached against the second pair of lateral surfaces (4). Said second (7) and third fold lines (8) are provided in such a manner that when the user brings the lateral surfaces towards the upright position, the connecting flaps (6) are folded against the attachment flaps (9). In the plate (1) side flaps are moreover provided to the second pair of lateral surfaces (4), which side flaps are folded in the upright position over the attachment flaps (6) and prevent in this way the box from folding open. <IMAGE>
