Abstract
A box is disclosed having a pivot lid and a skirt. The skirt has an internal edge cooperating in a snap locking manner with a folded-over flap at the front edge area of the box mouth. This flap protrudes from an edge area which, as a whole, is resiliently depressible into the box, whereby a snap locking is achieved which will be substantially independent of the manufacturing tolerances of the box. The locking and, in particular, the release of the locking by the opening of the lid will take place in a manner that is very convenient for the user, because the spring action after the release of the locking will contribute to the opening of the lid.
Claims5
A box comprising:
- a mouth having a mouth edge and an externally folded over holding flap having a flap edge;
- a pivoting lid having a projecting locking edge;
- a holding flap projecting from an edge area which is resiliently depressible into the box;
- a front side having a panel;
- side panels having edges folded into abutment with the front side panel;
- a rear panel from which the side panels project;
- and wherein
- the front side panel at an area adjacent the edge of the mouth has a reduced width for permitting depressing of the holding flap without contact of the edges of the side panels;
- and
- the flap edge engages the projecting locking edge at an inner side of the pivoting lid.
