  • Patent number: 7607565
    Abstract: An interior of the package box is partitioned by an intermediate partition plate into a first accommodation portion and a second accommodation portion. A small partition plate is folded into the package box to form a third accommodation portion. An instruction manual and a device body are accommodated in the first accommodation portion and the second accommodation portion, and a small article and the like are accommodated in the third accommodation portion. The small partition plate is prevented from unfolding open by an edge side of the first connection piece. Therefore, the small article and the like accommodated in the third accommodation portion do not move into the first accommodation portion. The third accommodation portion can be formed by a simple operation (inserting operation is unnecessary) only by folding the small partition plate into the package box.

    Abstract: A simple, lightweight, inexpensive and adaptable display container specifically designed to display all of a baby's teeth from nearly any angle. The invention displays the teeth with respect to each tooth's position in the mouth and has a transparent cover that completely encloses all the teeth and does not need to leave one or two teeth partially uncovered. The invention permits the cover to lock in place, either over the cell in which the tooth is placed or over a non-cell surface so that all the cells for the teeth are completely covered and protected. The invention also permits the displayed tooth to be situated close to the underside of the cover to maximize the display of the tooth and permits the baby tooth display to be incorporated into other display devices, such as frames, three-ring binders, scrapbooks, photo albums, and baby albums.
