Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container for storing and/or displaying objects such as, for example, jewelry, costume jewelry or cigars.
  • openable and reclosable containers which may stably maintain the open condition so as to show the contents.
  • These containers have a base, shaped so as to contain objects such as jewelry, costume jewelry or cigars, and a cover associated with the base.
  • a widespread typology of such containers provides the base associated with the cover by hinge means, usually by double hinge means comprising a first portion fixed to a wall of the base, and a second portion, fixed to one face of the cover, the portions being connected to a central element around which the rotation takes place.
  • the first and second portions are usually connected respectively to the base and to the cover by means of fixing means, such as for example screws.
  • the hinge means enable the rotation of the cover so that the container alternately takes an open configuration and a closed configuration.
  • This solution has the drawback of quickly compromising the connection between the hinge means and the base and/or the cover.
  • the fact that the container is frequently carried in the open configuration and in the closed configuration implies a repeated stressing of the base and of the cover, especially at the areas where the hinge means are mounted.
  • the stress mainly causes wear of the hinge means and, therefore, the need to remove and replace them. In more extreme cases, the stress may also lead to deterioration and consequent damage to the wall of the base to which they are attached.
  • the solution described above presents deterioration problems when the container must keep the open configuration. Keeping the open configuration entails a constant stress on the first portion of the hinge means fixed to the wall of the base caused by placing the cover on the first portion.
  • the principal object of the invention is solving the mentioned problems, devising a lasting and reliable container.
  • a further object of the invention is the provision of a container that is capable of reducing the deterioration resulting from repeated cycles of opening and closing the container.
  • a further object of the invention is the provision of a container that ensures easy opening.
  • a further object of the invention is the provision of a container that ensures stability of keeping the open configuration.
  • a further object of the invention is the provision of a container that enables a secure closure.
  • a further object of the invention is the provision of a container that enables easy assembly.
  • a still further object of the invention is the provision of a container with great constructive and functional simplicity, having reliable operation, versatile use, as well as of relatively cheap cost.
  • the container comprises a base, a cover and at least one hinge assembly which rotatably connects said cover to said base.
  • the hinge assembly comprises a first member fixed to the cover at an edge of the cover and a second member fixed to the base at an edge of the base.
  • the first member is mounted inside the second member, the first member being rotatable with respect to the second member so as to alternatively make the container assume a closed configuration, in which the base is against the cover, and an open configuration, where the cover is spaced from the base.
  • the feature relating to the first member mounted inside the second member gives the hinge assembly a more impact-resistant structure and, therefore, obtains a longer-lasting container.
  • the compact configuration of the hinge assembly allows for easy assembly.
  • assembling the first member inside the second member gives compactness to the hinge assembly.
  • Both the first and the second member have an elongated shape.
  • Said first member and said second member extend along a longitudinal direction, in an assembly configuration.
  • Said first member is rotatable about an axis of rotation substantially parallel to said longitudinal direction.
  • said second member has an open box shape, at least on one side, so that the insertion of said first member inside the second member is made.
  • said first member has a substantially rod-like shape.
  • said second member comprises a bottom wall, a pair of heads positioned at opposite ends and a side wall, which connects said bottom wall to said heads.
  • said first member is rotatably coupled to said second member at opposite ends of said second member.
  • said first member is connected to said second member at each of said ends by means of a rotatable connecting element.
  • said first member has at least one channel associated with said edge of said cover, in a mounting configuration.
  • the coupling between the first member and the cover, which provides for the insertion of the edge of the cover in the channel of the first member insures a stable coupling. In this way, opening and closing operations of the container are facilitated.
  • said first member comprises a pair of opposite sides joined by a connecting portion.
  • said channel is delimited by said pair of sides and by said connecting portion.
  • said at least one channel extends for the entire length of said first member.
  • said at least one channel has is substantially U-shaped.
  • said hinge assembly comprises a third member, associated with said second member.
  • Said third member comprises an adjustment element, which is in sliding contact with said first member during the rotation of said first member, to slow down the closure of said container.
  • the interaction between the third member and the first member, during the rotation of the first member makes it possible to slow down the closure of the container and consequently decrease the deterioration of the container over time. Furthermore, these characteristics allow a safe closure of the container.
  • Said third member comprises a casing which forms a seat suitable for housing the adjustment element.
  • Said third member develops longitudinally.
  • Said casing also comprises elastic means interposed between an internal wall of said seat and said adjustment element.
  • the elastic means are capable of cooperating with said adjustment element to obtain soft closing of said container.
  • said elastic means is spring type.
  • said second member comprises a wall that shapes an opening.
  • Said opening has a longitudinal shape.
  • said bottom wall of said second member shapes said opening.
  • the adjustment element passes through said opening, at least in part, to be in contact with the first member.

  • said adjustment element extends longitudinally.
  • said adjustment element has a prism shape with a trapezoidal base.
  • said adjustment element is made of plastic material.

  • said at least one stop element is tooth-shaped.
  • said tooth has a hook profile.
  • said first member comprises at least one guide groove forming an abutment surface.
  • said at least one guide groove has a curvilinear profile.
  • said guide groove has a circumferential arc profile.
  • said at least one stop element is arranged at said guide groove.
  • said stop element abuts on said abutment surface, in open configuration, so as to prevent further rotation of said first member according to the direction of rotation of the container opening.
  • the characteristics of the stop element, which abuts the abutment surface ensure stability to the container and, in particular, enable stable open configuration.
  • said at least one guide groove is made at one end of said first member.
  • said at least one guide groove is made on said connecting portion of said first member.
  • said first member comprises a pair of guide grooves, arranged at opposite ends, and a pair of stop elements, mounted at respective said guide grooves.
  • said second member forms a side wall, which functions as a stop wall for said first member, in the closed configuration.
  • said first member abuts said side wall in the closed configuration.
  • said hinge assembly is made of metal material.

  • the cover 3 In the opening configuration of the container 1 (see figures 2 , 9 - 11 ) the cover 3 is spaced from the base 2, allowing access to the inside of the container 1. In this configuration, the abutment surface 57 engages the tooth 67 and the adjustment element 73 is more protruding through the opening 64 of the second member 6 as the applied compression force is reduced.
  • the transition from the open configuration to the closed configuration occurs in a controlled manner thanks to the provision of the adjustment element 73 associated with the spring 8.
  • the adjustment element 73 is in contact with the first member 5 during the rotation phase, and due to the friction present between the contact surfaces, the closing movement is slowed down.
