An offset core device configured to form a high-strength truss structure, and a method for making the offset core device. The device includes a plurality of panels, each panel having a network of a first plurality of truss segments and a second plurality of truss segments, each formed along a first direction. The plurality of panels also include a first joint and a second joint formed along a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction, and at least one cut line formed along the first direction between the first plurality of truss segments and the second plurality of truss segments. The plurality of panels are configured to deploy to a truss structure by at least one of the first plurality of truss segments pivoting at the first joint, and at least one of the second plurality of truss segments pivoting at the second joint, wherein the first joint is offset from the second joint along the first direction.

B65D 43/16 - Non-removable lids or covers hinged for upward or downward movement
An apparatus is provided having an open configuration and a closed configuration. The apparatus includes, while in the closed configuration, a first panel, a second panel, a third panel, a fourth panel, a fifth panel, and a sixth panel that together create a box partially enclosing a void space. The first panel is rotatably coupled to the fifth panel and the sixth panel, the second panel is rotatably coupled to the fourth panel and the sixth panel, and the third panel is rotatably coupled to the fourth panel and the fifth panel. The apparatus opens from the closed configuration to present the contents therein through a single degree-of-freedom mechanism where the first, second, and third panels become perpendicular to the fourth, fifth, and sixth panels while the fourth, fifth, and sixth panels become aligned in a same plane.
