BOXING WITH OPENING DEVICE
A box includes a base and a movable member. A cover is pivotably connected to the base and mounted onto the base which has a first engaging portion engaged with a second engaging portion on the cover to secure the cover to the base. The box has a recess and a stop portion extends from the inner surface of the recess. The movable member is located in the recess and a notch is defined in the mediate section of the movable member and mounted to the stop portion. The cover is pivoted away from the base to open the box by a movement of the movable member relative to the stop portion to disengage the first engaging portion from the second engaging portion.
The present invention relates to a box with an opening device, and more particularly, to an opening device which is pushed, pulled or rotated to easily open the box.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONA conventional cosmetic box generally includes a base and a cover which is mounted to and locked to the base by engaging members. When the users use the cosmetic box, the users separate the cover from the base to disengage the engaging members from each other. However, this opening action is not convenient for the users and the box might be damaged if the opening action is not properly operated. Taiwan Utility Model No. 278277 discloses a cosmetic box which has a button at the mediate part thereof and the button includes a pressing portion and a push portion, the user presses the pressing portion to allow the push portion to push the first link at the cover as to be separated from the second link on the base to open the cosmetic box. Although the button can be pushed to open the cosmetic box, the button has complicated structure and has higher manufacturing cost which has less competition in the market.
The present invention intends to provide a cosmetic box with an opening device which is easily made and can easily open the cosmetic box.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates to a box and includes a base and a movable member. A cover is pivotably connected to the base and mounted onto the base which has a first engaging portion engaged with a second engaging portion on the cover to secure the cover to the base. The box has a recess and a stop portion extends from the inner surface of the recess. The movable member is located in the recess and a notch is defined in the mediate section of the movable member. The movable member is mounted to the stop portion.
The cover is pivoted away from the base to open the box by a movement of the movable member relative to the stop portion to disengage the first engaging portion from the second engaging portion.
Preferably, the stop portion has an inclined surface which is located corresponding to another inclined surface of an inside of the notch of the movable member.
Preferably, an operation end of the movable member protrudes from the recess when the movable member is located in the recess. The operation end has an inclined surface and a gap is defined between the inclined surface of the operation end and the base.
Preferably, the notch of the movable member is an annular notch which divides the movable member into an opening end and an operation end. The opening end is a cone-shaped end. The recess is located between the base and the cover. The stop portion has two protrusions respectively on the base and the cover. The protrusions are located corresponding to the annular notch. The stop portion has two inclined surfaces respectively located on the base and the cover. The two inclined surfaces are located corresponding to the cone-shaped opening end.
Preferably, the movable member has a pivot which is connected to the opening end and the operation end, the opening end is eccentrically connected to the pivot.
Preferably, the movable member is detachably located in the recess.
Preferably, the box is a cosmetic box. The cover has a mirror connected thereto and the movable member has a brush portion.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide an opening device that is pushed, pulled or rotated to easily open the cover relative to the base of the box.
The present invention is suitable for cosmetic box, especially for opening the cosmetic box by using a movable member. The brush portion is connected to the movable member. The box is simple and easily manufactured so that the box is competitive in the market.
The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
Referring to
The box 1 has a recess 13 defined therein and the recess 13 can be located in the base 11, the cover 12 or between the base 11 and the cover 12. A stop portion 14 extends from the inner surface of the recess 13 and has an inclined surface 141.
A movable member 2 is detachably located in the recess 13 and a mediate section of the movable member 12 has a notch 21 which is located corresponding to the stop portion 14. The notch 21 has an inclined surface 211 at its inside thereof and the inclined surface 211 is located corresponding to the inclined surface 141 of the stop portion 14 so that when the movable member 2 is mounted to the stop portion 14 and located in the recess 13, the stop portion 14 prevents the movable member 2 from dropping off from the recess 13. The movable member 2 has a brush portion 22 connected to a distal end thereof so that the user can use the brush portion 22 on the movable member 2 to use the powder or compact powder.
