Abstract
A reusable assembled box and a method of transport thereof are provided, in that the box has a base with greater strength, and is capable of disassembled into compact pieces facilitating sending back thereof, thus reducing a transport cost and enabling reuse of the box in higher frequency. The box comprises a first member, a second member, and coupling members. The first member is in a substantially rectangular shape, comprises a base and a pair of opposing side walls folded up from the base. The second member is in a substantially rectangular shape and comprises a base, overlain on the base of the first member, in a shape substantially identical to that of the first member, and a pair of side walls adjacent to the walls of the first member. The coupling members detachably couples upper end corners of adjacent side walls of the first and second members assembled into a box by overlaying the bases of the first and second members. Thus the box can be easily assembled with a pair of board-like bases in a simple and substantially rectangular shape by overlaying the bases, thus realizing a base having greater strength, and enabling packing of heavy parts into the box, and when the box is reused, it can be disassembled into rectangular boards of a substantially the same shape and compactly piled up for sending back, thus transport cost can be reduced.
