(For example, a plastic clip). The problem with this type of casket is that when the casket is displayed in a show window, the articles contained in the casket remain flat and therefore not conspicuous. Various solutions have been proposed for this problem. That is, an inclined seat can be provided in the member for receiving the article in the small box. However, the possibility of tilting is limited and is not advantageous as a large box must be constructed for this. Also, the small box can be displayed in an inclined state.To do this, either install a wedge under the small box,
It is necessary to provide a tilted display facility, so there is a risk that the casket will slip off.

Furthermore, the article can be pulled out from the small box and displayed on the display facility. While this solution is good for displaying goods, it creates problems for sellers. This is because at the time of sale, a small box corresponding to the exhibited item must be found in the storage space, and thus, the item is often put in a different small box from the original small box. . It is an object of the present invention to propose a small box device for articles which guarantees a satisfactory retention of the article during transport and display and which can also contribute to the exhibition to make the article stand out.

In the casket of articles the element moves into the opening of the lid to at least partially position the article from its seat in a position that makes the article stand out or in a visible exposed position, the moveable element having a pivotally mounted support. A support member including an arm or a support wing and pivotally attached to the box body).

[0010]

In the small box of the article of the present invention, based on the shape of the article, the movable element is moved when the lid is opened, and the article can be pulled out or tilted out of its seat and placed in an easily viewable display state. It may comprise a tongue or movable support plate associated with the article, a support member or movable support plate for the article.

Also, in the article bin of the present invention, the movable element is capable of translational and / or rotational movement when the lid is opened to a variable locking position in which the article is properly displayed outside its seat. Therefore, it is installed slidably or slidably on the box body or the lid, or is integrally configured by the folded portion. The movable element, when released, is moved automatically or manually by the return means (joint foldback or pivot spring between them) and held in the above position by a conventional locking mechanism (stopper, locking member, notch, etc.). it can.

Further, in the small box of the article of the present invention, the movable element is detachably installed on the box body and can be integrated with the internal support member adapted to the article group.

[0013]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
The embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 shows a casket applied to an article having a part or member (for example, a tie pin 1) capable of realizing a clamping function, the casket including a body 3 and a hinge 7. A lid 5 pivotally attached to the body by means of a cushioning material, an article support member 9 installed in the box, and a tongue 11 integrated with the support member and having a tie pin fixed by an end forming a clip. Shaped movable element. The movable element is a rectangular tong slidably mounted on the inner support member and joined to the lid at the upper end.
The tongs are substantially inclined towards the hinge. The lower part of the tongue is below the supporting member and slides in the slit 13 formed in the central portion of the horizontal wall of the supporting member. The length of this slit is slightly larger than the width of the tongs. The length of the tongs is selected so that when the lid is fully opened (when the hinge is locked) the tongs reach below the horizontal wall of the support member. Thus, the article is fixed by the clamp in the most advantageous position on the tongs when the lid is opened. When closed, the article returns to the support member. When opened, the tongs are partially withdrawn from the lid and can raise and withdraw the clamping part of the article to an advantageous position (eg the initially installed position), in which case the clamping head will always It is above.

The second embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 to 8 does not particularly have a portion capable of realizing the clamp function,
Figure 3 shows a casket suitable for an article having openings that do not contain material (e.g. bracelet 15), the box comprising a box body 3 and a cushioned lid 5 which is hinged to the body by a hinge 7; And a flat movable element 17 for supporting. The article is a clip 1 locked to a portion of the bracelet at approximately the level of the lid hinge.
It is fixed to the element 17 by 9. The movable element is fixed at its front part at 21 to the box body and at its rear part is supported on the hinge side of the lid by a stopper 23 integral with the body. A support arm 25 is attached to the center of the movable element, and this arm rides on the bottom of the body when closed, and contacts the stopper 27 at the bottom of the body when the lid is opened to prevent the movable element from rotating. Lock it. The arm is connected to the wire 29 and the small handle 31 so that the arm lower end can be returned upward so that the arm lower end can be released and returned from the stopper when the small box is closed.

Therefore, since the article (bracelet) is laid flat on the movable element and fixed by the clip, the arm 2 engaged with the stopper is used for displaying the article.
It is sufficient to raise the lid and the movable element to an inclined position fixed by 5. In this tilted position, the bracelet is completely exposed and looks good. To close the box, the wire 29 can be pulled to unlock the support arm, thus closing the lid. Of course, the tilt angle can be changed depending on the support arm.

The third embodiment shown in FIGS. 9 to 12 is
A small box applied to an article (for example, metal) having a shape that is difficult to be fixed by a clamp is shown. The small box includes a box body 3 and a lid 5 that is attached to the body and covers a cushioning material.
And an internal support member 35 embedded in the body and a flat movable element 37 for supporting an article placed in the hollow recess of the support member when closed. It is integrally held by the movable element between two front and rear curved legs 39 which are opposed to each other. The front part of the movable element engages the complementary slit 41 of the support member.
The movable element, of course, is inclined downwards by the shape of the recess of the support member to reach the slit and is locked by the front curve leg. The movable element further comprises a support wing 43 which is glued to the rear wall (for example based on the bottom fold) and fixed in the inclined position on the rear wall.

When the article is introduced into the small box, it is fixed on the movable element between the holding legs 39. For display, the lid may be lifted, the movable element may be manually tilted, the wings 43 may be set upright, and the wing bottom may be supported by the support member 35. The closing operation is performed in reverse. That is, the wings are returned to the horizontal position and the movable element is placed on the support member. Thus,
The lid can be closed.

In the tilted open position, the front retention legs can be eliminated if the article is sufficiently retained by the edge of the recess of the support member. In some cases, the movable element may be provided with side notches that cooperate with the slits and are fixed with respect to the support member. However, the notch allows displacements with respect to the support member based on elasticity.

Other embodiments can be considered within the framework of the principles of the invention. That is, if the article internal support member 45 integrated with the movable element for fixing the article is detachably installed on the box body 3 of the small box, supplementary advantages can be obtained in addition to the improvement of the article display.

In this case, in the case of a group of articles with similar but slightly different dimensions, only the movable element for fixing the article needs to be changed on the basis of the article (a slight change in shape), while the small box 3 and the lid 5 are changed. Are the same for the article group in question. This example relates to a fountain pen 49 casket. The article can be pulled out from the small box and displayed on the support member 45, and after the display, the seller can easily return the fountain pen to the small box. Because the small boxes are the same for the above article groups.

FIG. 17, FIG. 18, and FIG. 19 show a method of automatically displaying articles when the lid 5 of the small box is opened. The article is a flat movable element 51 which is pivotally attached at the front to the box body 3 and rests at the rear on long horizontal fingers 53 when the lid is closed.
Accepted on. Disposed below the support plate 51,
The finger connected to the lid near the pivot point is
When the lid is opened, the movable element 51 is rotated. The tilt of the plate is determined by the locked opening angle of the lid,
A simple solution is obtained if the finger ends are provided with an expanded shape that can be supported by the movable support plate in the equilibrium position.
