Benefits of technology

[0006]Present invention provides a simple closure mechanism where a high level of air-tightness can be achieved by a meshing structure of a ring of lip with a corresponding ring of groove, so that the freshness of the food items get to be preserved.
[0007]Another object of present invention seeks to provide a simple locking closure of cover to the main body, where a fold-back piece is overlapping the top cover, with some ridge-tabs (on the fold-back piece) wedging into corresponding notches (on the cover), so the closure of a container is made relatively secure.

Problems solved by technology

Because there is no other structural improvement made to the body of the container, such prevention of tampering on the level of the external seal is oftentimes not too effective.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]In FIGS. 1 and 2, images of an opened and closed container of present invention are shown, where a main body 1 forms an inner space 11 for receiving objects into the container.

[0017]A ring of lip 12 exists around the top edge of main body 1. Said ring of lip 12 may not necessarily be in a round ring shape, but generally following the circumference of the top open edge of said main body 1.

[0018]A first fold-connector piece 21 is formed to connect main body 1 and a cover piece 2. A ring of groove 22 is formed around the periphery of cover piece 2 so that when said cover piece 2 is folded to close the main body 1, as shown in FIGS. 1 & 2, said groove 22 is tightly meshed with the ring of lip 12. The lip 12 and the groove 22 are made to match their relative sizes, so that when cover piece 2 is pressed towards the main body 1, a securely closed container is made.

[0019]A fold-closing piece 3 is formed on one side of main body 1 at the end farthest from the fold-connector piece 21. A...

Abstract

A tamper-resistance container structure is disclosed, where the top edge of main body has a ring of lip and the cover piece has a ring of groove to mesh in with the lip when closing the cover to the body; a fold-closing piece has a plurality of ridge-tabs that can be wedged into corresponding notches on the cover piece, locking the closure of the container, allowing sticker strip or product labels to be applied over the junction of the fold-closing piece over the cover piece, creating a tamper-resistance mechanism that is desirable for merchants and consumers.

Description

FIELD AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to an improved design and construction for containers or boxes where a high level of tamper-resistance can be achieved by a simple mechanism, so that there is an easy way of finding out whether any tampering has been attempted against the content of goods (food items, for example) stored inside the container made pursuant to the teachings of present invention.[0002]Especially in the case of perishable grocery items such as fish, meat, vegetable, fruit and similar produce, having simple and cost-effective tamper-proof mechanism has become ever more important in the market today.[0003]Tamper-resistance, sometimes referred to as tamper-proof, packaging mechanism usually involves an external sealing material that both serve to seal off the covered place and serve as product information and labeling, without any structural design or improvement made to the box / container itself. Because there is no other st...
