Definitions

  • This application relates to a desk container designed especially to contain notepads such as the type called "POST-IT”®, paper clips, staples and the like, as well as small instruments like calculating machines, or money-change calculators, said container being provided with a lid which can also be the leaning base and means apt to place the box-type container in a vertical position, so as to be used also as a desk container.
  • said box could constitute a support element for a display, photos, clocks, thermometers, or any other object which must lie and be kept in a vertical position.
  • the purpose of this invention is to provide a desk container specifically designed to contain items of stationery, and in particular notepads or paper, paper clips, staples and the like, which comprises a simplified opening and closing system and a special articulated lid which, when opened, places the container in an inclined position, with the rear section raised.
  • a further purpose of the invention is to offer a container a container provided with a lid which can also be the bearing support and in which the use in a vertical position of the container is automatically reached, simply by operating on releasing means.
  • the invention refers to a box-type container provided with a lid divided in two different halves hinged to one another, one of which is constrained to a wall of the container and comprises a spring rotation device, while the other one comprises closing means constituted by elastic arms designed to elastically engage the walls of the container to keep the lid in a close position.
  • the spring rotation device first rotates from the lid engaged to the bottom, then it rotates with respect to the lid, so as to the bottom itself places in a vertical position in order to allow the inner half and the contained item to be shown.
  • n. 1 indicates the container in accordance with the invention, comprising a hollow body 2 with a pair of lateral walls 3, and a lid 4 comprising two parts, 5 and 6.
  • the two parts of the lid are connected by a hinge 7, and are different sized: preferably the one indicated with number 6 is not so long as the other indicated with number 5.
  • the half 6 of the lid is connected to the base by a joint device 8, which, as seen in figure 9, is made of substantially cylindrical elements 9 and 10.
  • the first of said cylindrical elements is fastened to one of the lateral walls 3 of the container, by the engagement of a polygonal projection or the like 11, which is inserted in a corresponding hole 12 of the wall 3, while the second one is fitted in a hollow cylindrical cavity 13, in the half 6 of the lid.
  • Both the cylindrical elements are hollow and have clips 14 and 15 inside, the ends of said clips being provided with cuttings 16 wherein the bent ends of a spring 17 are inserted.
  • the other half of the lid comprises a catch assembly 18 that allows the lid to close on the base.
  • This catch assembly consists of a clip 19 integral with a set of elastic operating arms 20 which have a symmetrical angled shape and are joined in the middle to form a U-shaped projection that constitutes the said clip 19.
  • the latter is inserted in a hollow casing 21 fitted on the inside of the lid.
  • Clip 19 can be moved backwards and forwards, sliding inside casing 21.
  • Arms 20 are made of a number of consecutive sections fitted at an angle to one another; fixed pins 22, which act as positioning and guide elements during the movement of the arms, are fitted at each angle.
  • the elastic force of the arms normally causes them to take up a position with the ends projecting from the sides of the lid, so that they are inserted in the corresponding housings in the side walls of the container to keep the lid in the closed position.
  • arms 20 slide round pins 22, taking on the configuration shown in figure 4, and fully retract inside the lid, which is thus released and moves into the open position.
  • a panel 23 (fig. 2) fixed to lid 8 prevents the arms from exiting from their seatings.
  • base 2 of the box In the open position, base 2 of the box is inclined, and supported by part 6 of the lid. In practice, the lid holds the rear side of the base in the raised position, resting on the wall of hinge 7.
  • the inclined position of the base facilitates use of the container because it faces towards the person sitting at the desk, who will therefore find it easier to take objects from it and to write on sheets of paper or notepads.
  • the particular hinge system of the lid allows to use the container e.g. by lying the lid on a desktop and lifting the containing body 2 so as it can be placed in a vertical position in order to be used as a supporto for photos, or the like.
  • the opening of the container consists of two different stages:
  • the second stage starts when the half of the base 6 reaches, through rotation, its maximum rotation angle with respect to the half 5, so the remaining angular push of the spring is used to make the body of the container rotate.
