Packaging container

Abstract

A packaging container mainly includes a box having a horizontally outward extended flange provided along an upper rim thereof, and a cover adapted to fitly close an open top of the box. The box is provided at corners of the flange with upward projected retaining catches, and an inner side of each retaining catch forms an inward and downward inclined engaging recess. The cover is correspondingly provided at corners with retaining bands adapted to engage with the engaging recesses when the cover is closed onto the box. Whereby the cover can be quickly and firmly connected to the open top of the box for the packaging container to hold things therein without the need of binding or tying the packaging container.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a container consisting of a box and a matching cover, and more particularly to a packaging container including a cover and a box that can be conveniently closed together without the need of binding or tying, and can be quickly opened again. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Most conventional containers for holding food include a removable upper cover, and a lower box. The lower box is provided along an upper rim with a flange to fitly engage with the upper cover, so as to close the box. Some of these containers are made of polylone, while others are made of synthetic resin through vacuum molding. Alternatively, the cover may be integrally connected at one side to the box. In either case, the cover is always held to a top of the box using an elastic band, adhesive tapes or staples. In the event the cover is not tightly closed to the box, it is very possible to expose the contained food. And, inconvenient and time-consumi...

Benefits of technology

[0004] A primary object of the present invention is to provide a novel packaging container having a box and a cover that can be conveniently, quickly, and effectively fixed together without the need of using other binding or tying means.

[0005] To achieve the above and other objects, the packaging container of the present invention mainly includes a box having an outward extended flange provided along an upper rim thereof, and a cover adapted to fitly close an open top of the box. The box is provided at corners of the flange with upward projected retaining catches. An inner side of each retaining catch forms an inward and downward inclined engaging recess. The cover is correspondingly provided at outer corners with retaining bands adapted to engage with the engaging recesses when the cover is closed onto the box. Whereby the cover can be quickly and firmly connected to the open top of the box through engagement of the retaining bands with the engaging recesses for the packaging container to hold things therein without the need of binding or tying the packaging container.

Problems solved by technology

And, inconvenient and time-consuming packaging due to undesirable design of the packaging container would have adverse influence on the service quality of sellers using the packaging container.

The above-structured container still has the disadvantage of having a cover that is either too easily loosened from or not easily released from the main body once being tightened thereto.
