Definitions

  • the invention relates to a box, in particular a paint box with an upwardly open compartment, which can be closed by a pivotally mounted lid on the box, the lid being held in the closed position by a releasable closure which has interlocking interlocking elements in the closed position, and wherein the closure can be released with the aid of a push button, which is provided in a recess in the edge region of the lid and can be actuated from above and is fastened to the box so as to be pivotable about an axis.
  • a box of the type mentioned is known in the form of a make-up box from FR-A-2 624 359.
  • the lid is held in the closed position by a snap lock, which consists of an elastically deformable hook attached to the underside of the lid and a catch attached to the bottom part of the box.
  • a push button is pivotally attached in the manner of a rocker, which engages in a recess on the underside of the lid. If the push button is depressed from above, it lifts the cover with its end located in the cutout, overcoming the holding force of the snap lock. To open the lid, an actuating force on the pushbutton that corresponds essentially to the holding force of the snap closure is therefore required.
  • a paint box which has a resilient tab on its end face which engages under the edge of the closed cover and has a projection which engages transversely to the opening direction of the cover in a recess in the edge of the cover .
  • the tab By pressing the tab, it can be deformed towards the middle of the box so that the projection protrudes from the recess in the edge of the lid and the lid can be opened.
  • the tab In the known ink fountain, the tab is attached to a drawer arranged under the compartment, which forms a second compartment. The arrangement of the drawer on the front of the box provides a sufficient overall height for the arrangement of the tab.
  • a box with a lid is also known from GB-A-1 128 715, which is held with a spring-loaded hinge, through which the lid can be moved from the closed position into the open position.
  • the lid In the closed position, the lid is held by a snap lock, which can be released by a push button which is displaceably attached to the side wall of the lower part of the box.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a box of the type mentioned with a closure which can be easily operated even with a low overall height of the box.
  • closure elements are provided on the cover and on the push button and that the closure element on the push button can be removed from the closure element of the cover by pivoting the push button.
  • a box is created with an easy to manufacture closure, which has a push button located in the cover surface, which can be operated comfortably from above.
  • the closure is advantageously designed so that on the one hand the lid is held securely in the closed position and on the other hand the opening requires only a slight actuation force.
  • resilient means can be provided according to the invention which raise the lid after the closure has been opened.
  • the closure elements can advantageously be designed so that they can be snapped together by closing the lid. It is therefore not necessary to press the push button to close the box.
  • the push button is arranged at a corner of the box and that the shape of the cover in the open position deviates from its position in the closed position by the shape of the box in such a way that the opposite of the push button Corner of the closing edge of the lid rests on the box with pretension in the closed position.
  • the arrangement of the push button in a corner of the box is particularly favorable for the division of the interior of the box, for example when used as a paint box, since the space required for accommodating paint dishes remains free on the long side of the box.
  • the preload which is caused by the difference between its shape and the position forced on it in the closed position when the lid is closed, ensures that the lid is evenly positioned on the box when the closure is in a corner, and at the same time causes the lid to be lifted the lock corner when the lock is opened by depressing the push button. As a result, the lock remains open even after the pushbutton is released.
  • pushbuttons can also be provided on both corners of the opening side of the box, the pretensioning of the cover generated in the closed position being expediently designed such that when the closures are opened, both corners of the cover be raised.
  • a simple manufacture of the box is made possible according to the invention in that the push button is arranged in a recess in the box and is connected on one side to the bottom plate of the box by an elastically deformable web.
  • the push button can be made in one piece with the box and can also be connected to the box subsequently by suitable connecting means.
  • a particularly simple and inexpensive embodiment is achieved according to the invention in that the push button consists of a hollow body produced together with the box by injection molding, the core opening of which lies on the underside of the box.
  • the paint box shown has a relatively flat, approximately cuboid shape and is divided into a box 1 and a cover 2 by a parting joint running approximately in the middle of its narrow sides.
  • the lid 2 is attached to the box 1 with hinges 3, which are arranged so that the lid 2 can be folded completely into the installation plane of the box 1.
  • strips 4 are attached for attaching paint dishes.
  • a compartment 5 is provided for holding brushes and other painting tools.
  • the inside of the lid 2 forms a mixing pallet divided into individual shell sections by webs 6.
  • the box 1 has a corner recess 7, which is formed by an approximately square cutout in the base plate 8 and a removal of the sections of the side walls 9, 10 adjacent to the cutout.
  • the cover 2 has a corner recess 11 of the same size at the corresponding point, which is aligned with the corner recess 7 when the ink fountain is closed.
  • a push button 12 is arranged, the shape and size of which essentially corresponds to the recessed box corner.
  • the pushbutton 12 is connected to the base plate 8 by an elastically deformable web 13 which extends parallel to the side wall 9 and enables the pushbutton 12 to pivot about an axis parallel to the side wall 9.
  • a slot 14 is provided which is provided for receiving a sawtooth-like notch 15 on the wall section 16 of the cover 2 adjacent to the pushbutton 12 in the closed position.
  • the pushbutton 12 and the catch 15 together form a closure which engages when the cover 2 is closed in the position shown in FIG. 2, in which the catch 15 engages in the slot 14 and is held by the pushbutton 12.
  • the push button 12 is actuated from above with a compressive force, whereby it executes a pivoting movement clockwise with respect to the illustration in FIG 14 emerges, thereby opening the lid 2.
  • the shape of the cover 2 in a relaxed state deviates from the shape which the lid 2 obtains by means of elastic deformation when it is brought into its closed position. The deviation is such that the cover 2 rests on the box 1 in its closed position with the corner 17 opposite the corner recess 11 with a prestressing force. The reaction force from this biasing force is supported on the pushbutton 12 via the catch 15.
  • the cover 2 relaxes, its region carrying the catch 15 being raised so far that it can no longer penetrate into the slot 14 by itself. Only by pressing down the cover 2 can the catch 15 be snapped back into the slot 14.
  • the pretensioning of the cover 2 in the closed position also results in a firm support and thus a good closing of the area removed from the pushbutton, in particular the corner 17 of the cover 2.
