ANTI-TAMPER CONTAINER
An anti-tamper container for preventing incorrect opening includes a box body, an abutting flanged portion, a cover and at least one opening preventing device. When a force is applied to the cover to rotarily open it upwards, the front inclined surface of the tilting extension sheet presses the pre-dislocated rib to disengage it from the box body so as to prevent reconnection. Thus, the consumers could easily recognize if the cover has been incorrectly opened so as to ensure the quality and safety of the products while avoiding consumption disputes, and safeguarding the rights of consumers and reputation of industry operators with improved applicability. Because a strengthened opening preventing portion is set on the tilting extension sheet, the tilting extension sheet could be prevented from penetrating upwards without breaking the pre-dislocated rib.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to a container, and more particularly to an innovative anti-tamper container for preventing incorrect opening.
2. Description of Related Art Including Information Disclosed under 37 CFR 1.97 and 37 CFR 1.98
A variety of foods such as vegetables and meat available in common markets or fresh food supermarkets are usually packaged in visible, see-through or opaque boxes. Said box comprises a box body and a cover. According to the common packaging process, food is firstly loaded into the box body and then covered by means of binding, snapping or insertion. However, the following shortcomings are still observed during actual applications.
As food is simply sealed into the body of the box, toxic substances could be easily added through the gap between the cover and the box body or by opening the cover and then closing or snapping it quickly. It is well understood that the working staff and consumers could not observe or identify such situations, affecting seriously the consumers' security and rights and the sellers' credit reputation. Hence, the operators in this industry shall endeavor to make a breakthrough to improve the structure of the box body as a technical subject and target.
Thus, to overcome the aforementioned problems of the prior art, it would be an advancement if the art to provide an improved structure that can significantly improve the efficacy.
Therefore, the inventor has provided the present invention of practicability after deliberate design and evaluation based on years of experience in the production, development and design of related products.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe enhanced efficacy of the present invention is as follows: based on the innovative structural design of the present invention wherein “a container against incorrect opening” comprises: a box body, an abutting flanged portion, a cover and at least one opening preventing device, when a forced is applied to the cover to rotarily open it upwards, the front inclined surface of said tilting extension sheet could press the pre-dislocated rib to disengage it from the box body against reconnection. Thus, the consumers could easily recognize if the cover has been incorrectly opened so as to ensure the quality and safety of the products while avoiding consumption disputes, and safeguarding the rights of consumers and reputation of industry operators with improved applicability.
The improvements brought about by this invention are as follows: based on the technical characteristic that a strengthened opening preventing portion is set on the tilting extension sheet, the tilting extension sheet could be avoided to penetrate upwards without breaking the pre-dislocated rib.
Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
An abutting flanged portion 20 is set integrally onto or near the open end 15 of the box body 10 to form a spacing ring concave 21. Of which, the abutting flanged portion 20 is expanded and formed onto the open end 15 of the box body 10 (shown in
A cover 30 is provided which comprises of a front end 31 and a rear end 32. The rear end 32 of said cover 30 is linked to the back of the open end 15 of the box body 10 via a coupling flange 33. Said cover 30 could be rotarily covered on the box body 10 by taking the coupling flange 33 as a pivot and abutted into the spacing ring concave 21. This prevents pulling open or prying the cover 30 so as to ensure the quality and safety of products within container A.
At least an incorrect opening preventing device 40 is set on the front end 31 of the cover 30 correspondingly to the open end 15 of the box body 10. It comprises of a tilting extension sheet 41, which is extended downwards and gradually tilted forward on the front end 31 of the cover 30. It comprises of a front inclined surface 42 and a rear inclined surface 43. A vertical through-hole 44 is set on the open end 15 of the box body 10 correspondingly to the tilting extension sheet 41. When the cover 30 is covered onto the box body 10, said tilting extension sheet 41 could penetrate downwards the vertical through-hole 44. A pre-dislocated rib 45 is formed in front of the vertical through-hole 44 by a pre-dislocated line 441 extended forwards from both ends of the vertical through-hole 44 (shown in
Based on above-specified structure, the present invention is operated as follows:
Referring to
A strengthened opening preventing portion 50 is set on the tilting extension sheet 41. Referring to
Additionally, the present invention allows the tilting extension sheet 41 to penetrate downward the vertical through-hole 44 for limitation purposes, so it is difficult to observe the opening preventing mechanism of the container A, helping to increase the efficiency of the incorrect opening preventing device 40.
Claims
1. An anti-tamper container for preventing incorrect opening, comprising:
- a box body, comprising of: a bottom wall, a circumferential wall, an open end and a holding space; of which the circumferential wall further comprises of an inner and an outer ring surfaces;
- an abutting flanged portion, set integrally onto or near the open end of the box body to form a spacing ring concave on the box body;
- a cover, comprising of a front end and a rear end; the rear end of said cover is linked to the back of the open end of the box body via a coupling flange; said cover could be rotarily covered on the box body by taking the coupling flange as a pivot and abutted into the spacing ring concave;
- at least an incorrect opening preventing device, set on the front end of the cover correspondingly to the open end of the box body; said incorrect opening preventing device comprises of: a tilting extension sheet, which is extended downwards and gradually tilted forward on the front end of the cover; said tilting extension sheet comprises of: a front inclined surface and a rear inclined surface; a vertical through-hole, set on the open end of the box body correspondingly to the tilting extension sheet; when the cover is covered onto the box body, said tilting extension sheet could penetrate downwards the vertical through-hole; a pre-dislocated rib, formed in front of the vertical through-hole by a pre-dislocated line extended forwards from both ends of the vertical through-hole;
- when a force is applied to the cover to rotarily open it upwards, the front inclined surface of said tilting extension sheet could press the pre-dislocated rib to disengage it from the box body against reconnection, enabling a person to easily recognize if the cover has been incorrectly opened.
2. The device defined in claim 1, wherein said abutting flanged portion is expanded and formed onto the open end of the box body, or protruded on the inner ring surface of the circumferential wall adjacent to the open end.
3. The device defined in claim 1, wherein a strengthened opening preventing portion is set on the tilting extension sheet.
4. The device defined in claim 3, wherein said strengthened opening preventing portion includes at least a flange protruded on the front inclined surface of the tilting extension sheet.
