    Abstract: A container includes a pair of flaps, which can be brought close to one another, one of the flaps having a buttonhole; and a clasp designed to get through the buttonhole. The clasp includes an anchoring portion, which is fixed to the other one of the flaps; a wide portion, which is designed to prevent the clasp from moving apart from the buttonhole; and an intermediate connection portion, connected, through a pair of hinges, to the anchoring portion and to the wide portion, respectively. The wide portion and the anchoring portion are configured to rotate relative to the intermediate portion, so that the clasp is able to assume a plurality of operating conditions. The buttonhole is designed to interact with the clasp based on the operating condition assumed by the clasp, allowing the flaps or walls be brought close to one another or preventing them from moving apart.

  • Publication number: 20170318930
    Abstract: A clasp for a container includes an anchoring portion fixed to a flap or wall of the container. A wide portion prevents the clasp from moving apart from a buttonhole. An intermediate connection portion rotatably connects through hinges to the anchoring portion and the wide portion. The wide portion and the anchoring portion are configured to rotate relative to the intermediate portion, so that the clasp assumes: a compact condition, in which the wide portion and the anchoring portion are close and on opposite sides relative to the intermediate connection portion; an extended condition, in which the wide portion is aligned relative to the intermediate connection portion, allowing the clasp to move through the buttonhole; a closing condition, in which the wide portion and the anchoring portion are spaced apart, the wide portion being transverse to the intermediate connection portion, preventing the clasp from moving out of the buttonhole.
