Abstract
A hidden storage box includes: a base; an outer container on the base; and an inner container nested in the outer container on the base. The inner container is configured to rotate relative to the outer container in response to the base being rotated.
Claims18
A hidden storage box comprising:
- a base;
- an outer container on the base;
- an inner container nested in the outer container on the base;
- and
- a rotation frame fixed to the base inside the outer container, the rotation frame comprising gear teeth at a distal end thereof,
- wherein the inner container is configured to rotate relative to the outer container in response to the base being rotated,
- wherein the inner container comprises a gear connected to the gear teeth of the rotation frame,
- wherein the rotation frame has a groove formed therein, and
- wherein the outer container is rotatably connected to the rotation frame by a mechanical fastener extending through the outer container into the groove in the rotation frame.

A hidden storage box comprising:
- a base;
- a rotation frame fixed to the base;
- an inner container rotatably coupled to the rotation frame;
- and
- an outer container rotatable coupled to the base and accommodating the rotation frame and the inner container therein;
- a gear fixed to the inner container and rotatably coupled to the outer container;
- and
- a mechanical fastener fixed to and extending through the outer container into a groove in the rotation frame,
- wherein the inner container is rotatably coupled to the outer container,
- wherein the rotation frame comprises linear gear teeth in contact with the gear,
- wherein, as the base is rotated relative to the outer container, the gear fixed to the inner container moves along the linear gear teeth to rotate the inner container,
- wherein the groove extends in a linear shape parallel to the linear gear teeth, and
- wherein a length of the groove controls the maximum rotation of the outer container relative to the base.

A hidden storage box comprising:
- a base;
- a rotation frame fixed to the base;
- an inner container rotatably coupled to the rotation frame;
- an outer container rotatable coupled to the base and accommodating the rotation frame and the inner container therein;
- and
- a gear fixed to the inner container and rotatably coupled to the outer container
- wherein the inner container is rotatably coupled to the outer container,
- wherein the rotation frame comprises linear gear teeth in contact with the gear, and
- wherein, as the base is rotated relative to the outer container, the gear fixed to the inner container moves along the linear gear teeth to rotate the inner container,
- wherein an accommodation space in the inner container faces into the outer container in a first state,
- wherein the accommodation space in the inner container faces out of the outer container in a second state,
- wherein, in the first state, the gear is at one end of the linear gear teeth, and
- wherein, in the second state, the gear is at an opposite end of the linear gear teeth.
