Abstract:
1. A multi-sided container comprising a bottom wall, at least one top wall, opposite side walls, opposite end walls, a longitudinal axis, a transverse axis and a plurality of dual triangulated diagonal corner walls wherein at least one of the plurality of dual triangulated diagonal corner walls being defined by two gusset panels foldably joined to two partial sidewall panels and the respective opposite end wall to form four corners within each corner of the container wherein each of the plurality of the dual triangulated diagonal corner walls comprising an inner diagonal corner panel and an outer diagonal corner panel, one of the inner and outer diagonal corner panels extending at an angle of less than 45° with respect to the respective opposite adjacent end wall, and the other of said inner and outer diagonal corner panels extending at an angle of less than 45° with respect to the respective opposite adjacent side wall, whereby said one of the inner and outer diagonal corner panels has a major thrust vector in a direction parallel to the transverse axis of the container and said other of said inner and outer diagonal corner panels has a major thrust vector in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the container, the inner and outer diagonal corner panels providing resistance to both lateral and longitudinal deflection of the container.
