Methods and systems for container assembly

Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for a container which may be assembled in a single motion. In one example, a method may include pulling a drawstring through a drawstring channel opening in a first panel of the container, wherein pulling the drawstring: folds each of a first triangular panel, a second triangular panel, a third triangular panel and a fourth triangular panel in half towards an interior of the container; lifts each of the first panel, the second panel, the third panel, and the fourth panel towards the interior of the container to a vertical position; and securing the drawstring to hold the container in an assembled configuration.

1 . A method, comprising:
 assembling a container in a single motion by:   pulling a drawstring through an opening in a drawstring channel in a first panel of the container, wherein pulling the drawstring:
 folds each of a first triangular panel, a second triangular panel, a third triangular panel and a fourth triangular panel in half towards an interior of the container, 
 lifts each of the first panel, a second panel, a third panel, and a fourth panel towards the interior of the container to a vertical position; and 
   securing the drawstring to hold the container in an assembled configuration.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising wrapping the drawstring around buttons of the first panel. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2  further comprising folding a first cover flap over the drawstring at the first panel and folding a second cover flap towards the interior of the container over the third panel. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the drawstring may be secured by moving a cord lock, positioned on the drawstring, towards the drawstring channel. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising attaching a first handle and a second handle to the container in the assembled configuration. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein attaching the first handle includes passing a first screw of the first handle through a first handle positioning hole of the second panel and passing a second screw of the first handle through a second handle positioning hole of the fourth panel and securing the first screw with a first connecting mechanism and the second screw with a second connecting mechanism, and attaching the second handle includes passing a third screw of the second handle through a third handle positioning hole of the second panel and passing a fourth screw of the second handle through a fourth handle positioning hole of the fourth panel, and securing the third screw with a third connecting mechanism and the fourth screw with a fourth connecting mechanism. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising attaching a label to the container in the assembled configuration. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising inserting a divider in the container in the assembled configuration. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising inserting a first slit of a first wall into a second slit of a second wall, such that the first wall and the second wall perpendicularly intersect and form the divider. 
     
     
         10 . A method for assembling a container, comprising:
 pulling a drawstring of a container base, wherein pulling the drawstring:
 pulls a length of drawstring through an opening on an interior side of a first panel; 
 folds a first triangle piece and a second triangle piece towards a center of the container and simultaneously pulls a second panel and a third panel towards the center of the container base; 
 folds a third triangle piece and a fourth triangle piece towards the center of the container and simultaneously pulls a fourth panel towards the center of the container; 
   securing the drawstring using a cord lock;   folding a first side flap and a second side flap into the center of the container; and   attaching handles to the container.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the first triangle piece is coupled to the first panel and the second panel, the second triangle piece is coupled to the second panel and the third panel, the third triangle piece is coupled to the third panel and the fourth panel, the fourth triangle piece is coupled to the fourth panel and the first panel, the first side flap is coupled to the first panel, and the second side flap is coupled to the third panel. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the first panel, the second panel, the third panel, and the fourth panel are each coupled to and positioned along a first edge, a second edge, a third edge, and a fourth edge, respectively, of a base panel of the container base. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising attaching a label to the container. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising inserting a divider in the container. 
     
     
         15 . A container, comprising:
 an octagonal base and a drawstring with a cord lock positioned thereon;   wherein the container is assembled in a single motion by pulling and securing the drawstring through a drawstring channel of the octagonal base.   
     
     
         16 . The container of  claim 15 , wherein the drawstring is positioned around a perimeter of the octagonal base. 
     
     
         17 . The container of  claim 16 , wherein a first end and a second end of the drawstring extend through an opening in the drawstring channel at a first panel of the octagonal base. 
     
     
         18 . The container of  claim 17 , wherein the drawstring extends through a right side of the drawstring channel of the first panel, through a first eyelet of a first triangular panel to an exterior of the octagonal base, through a second eyelet of the first triangular panel to an interior of the octagonal base, through the drawstring channel of a second panel, through a third eyelet of a second triangular panel to the exterior of the octagonal base, through a fourth eyelet of the second triangular panel to the interior of the octagonal base, through the drawstring channel of a third panel, through a fifth eyelet of a third triangular panel to the exterior of the octagonal base, through a sixth eyelet of the third triangular panel to the interior of the octagonal base, through the drawstring channel of a fourth panel, through a seventh eyelet of a fourth triangular panel to the exterior of the octagonal base, through an eighth eyelet of the fourth triangular panel to the interior of the octagonal base, through a left side of the drawstring channel of the first panel. 
     
     
         19 . The container of  claim 18 , wherein a first handle and a second handle are each attached to the second panel and the fourth panel using fastening hardware. 
     
     
         20 . The container of  claim 15 , wherein at least one of a divider and a label are added to the container.
