DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The present invention relates to display boxes, notably display boxes intended for packaging and display of luxury articles such as perfumery articles.
An object of the invention is to devise a display box having a smart appearance and good sturdiness while being of easy manufacture and low cost price owing notably to the possibility of manufacturing the box with the help of machines with a minimum of manual intervention.
To this end the invention relates to a display box of the type comprising a base adapted to receive an article to be displayed and provided with a sidewall and a lower peripheral flange, and a hollow cover, the hollow cover being pivotally mounted on an end face of the sidewall of the base between a closed position in which it rests against the peripheral flange thereof surrounding its sidewall and an open position in which it disengages at least partially the base while permitting the displayed article to be seen, the display box being characterized in that the base and the cover comprise two separate parts, the pivot members comprising on the one hand two protruding pins integral with one of said parts, on the other hand two holes or through slots for receiving said pins formed in the other of said parts, and means for permitting opening of the box comprising an ovaling of said holes, that is, their formation as slots, and an opening in the region of said end face of the sidewall of the base at least in the vicinity of said flange. This structure permits the sought advantages to be obtained and an easy maneuvering of the box toward the open or closed position.
In a particular embodiment, the protruding pins are integral with the base and the two holes are formed in the cover.
According to interesting features of the invention the base comprises a support provided with a sidewall having an opening in the region of an end face and a lower peripheral flange, and a frame provided with a sidewall having two protruding pins and also an opening and an upper inwardly folded flange, the sidewall of the frame surrounding the sidewall of the support, and a plate provided with at least one window forming the receptacle for the article to be displayed, said plate being maintained at the upper part of the support between the support means such as vertical ribs integral with the interior part of the sidewall of the support and the upper flange of the frame, while the cover comprises an inner element provided with ovaled holes, that is, through slots adapted to receive the pins on the base, whose length is at least approximately equal to the length of the pins of the base, and an outer element covering the inner wall element which is nonperforate at the location of the holes. This design of the base permits the packaging of a wide variety of articles with the help of only several types of base; the design selected for the cover itself permits a great diversity of display as a function of the nature and appearance of the outer wall element used.
The features and advantages of the invention will moreover be brought out in the description which follows, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a side view of a display box according to the invention shown diagrammatically, in the open position, a region of the cover being cut away to show the general shape of the base;
FIG. 2 is a side view of the same display box shown diagrammatically, in the closed position, the cover being shown in longitudinal section;
FIG. 3 shows in perspective the three parts constituting the base in the preferred embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 4 shows a top view of the two elements constituting the cover in a preferred embodiment of the invention, before forming the cover by folding .
The display box of the invention shown diagrammatically in FIGS. 1 and 2 comprises a base 1 intended to receive an article to be displayed and a hollow cover 2 made of two separate parts.
The base 1 itself comprises a base plate 11 and a sidewall 12 placed on the base plate 11, and of slightly smaller dimensions than it, so
