Abstract
A box comprises two box elements attached together at a contact surface and connected together in a releasable manner in each of two opposite assembly areas. Each box element includes in each assembly area at least one clipping member which hooks onto a complementary clipping member in corresponding relationship to it on the other box element and at least one journal member which cooperates pivot fashion with a complementary journal member in corresponding relationship to it on the other box element. At least the clipping member of at least one of the box elements is carried by an elastically deformable arm. Applications include boxes for light fittings.
Claims26
A box comprising two box elements having a mutual contact surface and opposed assembly areas on opposite sides, one of said box elements having in each of the assembly areas at least one journal member engageable for pivotal movement relative to a complementary journal member on the other of said box elements,
- a first of said box elements having in each of the assembly areas at least one clipping member releasably engageable with at least one complementary clipping member on a second of said box elements, said at least one clipping member or said at least one of said complementary clipping member being resiliently mounted, said at least one clipping member and said at least one complementary clipping member being separate and distinct from said at least one journal member and said at least one complementary journal member,
- whereby said box elements being pivotable relative to each other, selectively at either assembly area.
A box comprising two box elements having a mutual contact surface and opposed assembly areas on opposite sides, one of said box elements having in each of the assembly areas at least one journal member engageable for pivotal movement relative to a complementary journal member on the other of said box elements,
- a first of said box elements having in each of the assembly areas at least one clipping member releasably engageable with at least one complementary clipping member on a second of said box elements, at least one elastically deformable arm carrying said at least one clipping member or said at least one of said complementary clipping member, said at least one clipping member and said at least one complementary clipping member being respectively in one piece with said at least one journal member and said at least one complementary journal member,
- whereby said box elements being pivotable relative to each other, at selectively at either assembly area.
