Abstract
ABSTRACT:
A box formed from two pivotably connected parts, an insert of a synthetic resin being placed in each of the box parts. In order to hide the hinges, each insert com-prises an edge portion projecting outside each box part.
Said edge portions are shaped so that in the opened con-dition of the box they enclose a slot so that in the opened position of the box the pivotably co-operating edges of the box parts and the hinges themselves are hidden from view.

Description
~s;~ss4 ~Improvements in or relating to boxes".
Tho invention relates to a box ha~ing two pivotably connected parts which are mo~able relative to each othor over a pivot angle smaller than 120, a dish portion being sunk in one box part said dish poDtion engaging, over the greater part of it# circumferential edge remote from the bottom of th~ box part,against a circumferential edge of the associated box part, the box including means arranged to conceal a hinge pin and/or the pivotably co-operating edge.s of the box parts in an opened condition of the box. Such a box is known and may be used~ for example, as a luxury container for holding, for example, an electric shaving apparatus.
The known box is ~ormed ~rom two halves which are pivotably connected together. In the known box, means are in-cluded by which the hinge pin and/or ths pivotably co-operating edge portions of the box are hidden from view in the opened condition of the box. Said means comprises a strip of flexible material which is pleated and which lies around the hing0 parts being located on either side of the hinge pin in the fr0e 9paces between éach box part and the dish portion accommodated therein. Said strip hides the hinges and the pivotably co-operating edge portions. This construction requires the pro-vision of an extra component which requires additional assembly time and caus0s an increase in the cost-price o-~ the box.
It is an ob~ect of the invention to provide a type of box in which the provision of su`ch an extra component may be avoided~

~S35S~4 The box o~ the invention comprises two parts 1 and 3 both being~ manuf'acturad ~roln a synthetic r0sin. Dish por-tion 5 and 7 forming inserts are secured in the box parts 1 and 3. Said dish portion~ 5 and 7 are manu~actured in a suit-able shock-absorbing thin-walled form from a ~ynthetic resin material. The parts 1 and 3 are pivotably conn0cted together in each of the places denoted by A and B by means of a re-silient brace 9. ~or that purpose the part 1 has in the places A ~nd B a thickened portion 11 which includes grooves 13 and 15~ The box part 3 comprises a thickened portion 17 which includes a groove 19 and a curved nose portion 21 which co-operates with the rounded edge 23 of the box part 1. The brace ~ which i~ in the form o~ a leaf spring hooks behind the grooves 13 and 19, Said brace 9 keeps the box parts in a fixed, open or closed condition. In the olosed condition of the box the part 3 is in the position shcwn by the broken-lines in Figure 2. In the closed condition the brace i9 denoted by reference 25. In that condition the box part 3 and the dish portion 7 are denoted by references 27 and 29. .
In order to hide the brace 9 and the greater part o~ the edges o~ the parts 1 nnd 3 co-operating with each other~ which parts are visible in the opened condition of the box, a thin flexible cover formed by a piece o~ ~n~tic m~ has been used hitherto. The cover usually extends along the whole length of the co-operating edges of the parts 1 and ~, it is folded around the braces 9 to conceal the free space between the box part 1 and the dish portion 5`and in 10535g4 the free space between the box part 3 and the di~h porti.on 7.
According to the invention~ the need to provide an additional component such as the cover may be avoided i~ one o~ the dish portions 5 and 7 projects beyond its associated 5 ..... box part, the projecting edge portion of the r~levant dish portion being shaped so that in the opened condition of the box it lies within a very short distance of the other dish-portion and, in the closed condition of the box, becomes posi-tioned in a free space between the other box part and the associated dish por*ion. In this embodiment the two dish portions comprise projecting edges 35 and 37 which extend beyond their box parts over the lengths 31 and 33. Said pro-jecting edges 35 and 37 are shaped so that in the open con-dition of the box~ and when viewed in the direction of the arrow ~, they enclose a slot so that the braces 9 and the pivoting box edges 21 and 23 are substantially hidden. The projecting edge 37 is furthermore shaped so as to take up the location denoted by the reference 39 when the box is closed.
