Abstract
This disclosure relates generally to a safety match box and comprises a cover member of a generally box-like configuration which has a slidable tray having a pack of matches fastened thereto which fits within the cover member. The general object of this invention is the provision of a very simple device which is adapted to hold a box of matches, a shelf, and lock the box thereto permitting the box to be opened and the matches removed whenever desired. This invention is to provide a child-proof safety match box wherein the tray cannot be completely withdrawn from the cover and particular manipulative steps must be taken in order to open the container.
Claims10
1) a packaging box with a locking mechanism, including one inner box and one outer box. The outer box is provided with an opening at a front end as shown in the image 1 position so that the inner box can be pulled out of the outer box. The outer box comes with a bottom wall, a top wall and a side wall connecting the top wall and the bottom wall. The inner box comes with a bottom wall as well. The locking mechanism comprises a resisting plate fixed to the bottom wall to form a stop surface and a control component on the bottom wall. The resisting plate includes a fixing component attached to the bottom surface of the bottom wall and a resisting component bent downwards from the rear edge of the fixing component and extending obliquely forward. By adopting the packaging box of this utility model, the resisting plate is placed to prevent the inner box from sliding outwards from the outer box. And by pressing the control component up against the resisting plate, the resisting plate is placed upward beyond the stop surface, making the inner box easy to be drawn out from the outer box.
