(57) For manual packing of various objects is used a box member which is erected to form
a rectangular tube having at both ends four closing flaps, of which first two side
flaps (2) are folded in for closing the box end, whereafter a third flap (4) and finally
a fourth flap (6) are folded in, the fourth flap (6) being glued to the outside of
the third ftap (4). The folding in and the glueing of the third and fourth fiap may
be effected by a simple apparatus, which, however, requires the two side flaps (2)
to be entirely folded in. In practice it has been necessary, therefore, to manually
hold and guide the boxes during their introduction into the closing apparatus. The
invention provides for a special comer connection (8) between the raspective two side
flaps and the said third flap, whereby the third flap (4) will act as an arresting
member for the folded in side flaps (2), such that these flaps are prevented from
leaving their folded in positions, while the third flap (4), upon a temporary outward folding during the folding in of the side flaps (2), will
reessume its normal position for final closing in the closing apparatus.
