Definitions

  • the present finding refers to a case, or box, for containing generally small objects, in general objects of elongated shape like, for example, writing implements.
  • a purpose of the finding is that of providing a case, or box, that is structured so as to be able to be used as a display item for such objects by the retailer, and as a tabletop object-holder by the buyer thereof.
  • a further purpose is that of realising a case that is practical, easy and quick to open and close and to access its contents.
  • Another purpose of the finding is that of realising a case that is light and handy, and capable of holding its contents in an organised way.
  • Yet another purpose is that of providing an object-holding case that can be obtained in short time periods and at a low cost.
  • the case (or box) under consideration consists of a generally flat casing defining an object-holding space, divided into two portions that are articulated according to a generatrix belonging to a face of said casing, in such a way as to take up an extended configuration and a folded configuration in which said space is respectively closed and open.
  • said casing comprises a flat shaped body that is generally tub-shaped, where said tub is separated into two parts, and is closed by a generally sheeted element, or base, which carries said book-type articulation.
  • the quoted articulation is realised in a single piece with said sheeted element, and preferably has the shape of a predetermined folding line.
  • said two parts constituting said tub overlap each other for a portion at their separation zone, where they preferably have mutual engagement means arranged to stabilise said extended configuration of the casing.
  • the case consists of a casing of generally thin thickness that provides an object-holding space indicated with 1 in FIGS. 1 and 4.
  • said objects consist of felt-tip pens, or highlighters, 10.
  • Said casing is obtained by joining together a sheeted element 2 and two generally flat box-shaped bodies 3 and 4.
  • the sheeted element 2 has a right-angled shape with rounded corners, in the figures rectangular-shaped, and is obtained starting from a flat sheet of generally flexible material, which may or may not be transparent.
  • the same element 2 is divided into two parts 20 and 21 of different size joined by a predetermined folding line 22 that runs parallel to its shorter sides.
  • the shortest part 20 of said element 2 has a slotted opening 23 at the edge (FIG. 2).
  • the generally flat box-shaped bodies 3 and 4 are right-angle shaped in plan and are individually obtained by thermoforming starting from a generally thin sheet or strip of flexible and generally rigid synthetic material.
  • the thickness of said starting sheets or strips shall, of course, be suitable for the use of the case, and in general it shall be of the same order of magnitude as that of the sheeted element 2, which is usually in the order of a few tens of a millimetre.
  • At least one of the starting sheets for obtaining said bodies 3 and 4 is transparent, to at least partially visualise the objects 10.
  • the bodies 3 and 4 are individually shaped like a bowl without a wall, and said two bowl shapes, when they are coplanar as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, realise a sort of tub that is closed by the sheeted element 2.
  • the quoted bodies 3 and 4 are intended to be joined to the respective parts 21 and 20 of the element 2, for example through gluing or another equivalent technique, like welding.
  • the end rims of the three side walls of the body 3 are turned back square towards the outside, to provide an attachment foot 33, whereas the body 4 has an attachment foot 44 that engages all of its intermediate side wall and just a short portion of the other two (FIGS. 1 and 2).
  • the foot 44 is fixed to the part 20 of the element 2 in the immediate vicinity of the predetermined folding line 22.
  • the two bodies 3 and 4 are joined to the element 2 in such a way that when they are coplanar, their laterally open zones overlap each other.
  • the laterally open zone of the body 4 overlaps that of the body 3, where with its base wall it covers the cuts 5 formed on the base wall of the body 3.
  • engagement means are associated with said laterally open zones of said bodies 3 and 4 suitable for stabilising the extended configuration of the case according to FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • Said means comprise two impressions 6 that are formed inside the sides of the laterally open zone of the body 4, and are intended to snap engage with two matching projections 7 formed outside of the sides of the laterally open zone of the body 3 (FIGS. 1-4).
  • a central recess 8 is foreseen, which has the function of receiving the end of a finger at the moment of opening the case.
