Storage container

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a storage container for at least one portable electronic apparatus including a circumferential side wall and a bottom wall connected thereto for forming a main receiving space of the storage container as well as a lid construction for closing the main receiving space, wherein at least one additional receiving space accessible from the outside and substantially closed with respect to the main receiving space is formed in the lid construction.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part of and claims priority from earlier filed U.S. Design patent application Ser. No. 29 / 685,199, filed on Mar. 27, 2019, the entire contents thereof is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a storage container for at least one portable electronic apparatus including a circumferential side wall and a bottom wall connected thereto for forming a main receiving space of a main receiving area of the storage container as well as a lid construction for closing the main receiving space. Furthermore, the invention relates to a use for such a storage container.[0003]Such storage containers are known in a great plurality. In particular, these storage containers are so-called protective envelopes for portable electronic apparatuses such as for example mobile phones, music players or corresponding charging stations for electronic apparatuses operated by...

Benefits of technology

[0013]In a further advantageous configuration of the storage container according to the invention, it is integrally formed. Thereby, there is the possibility to simplify and accelerate the manufacturing procedure. In particular by corresponding injection molding and / or molding methods, the integral manufacture of the storage container is possible.

[0014]A second aspect of the invention relates to a storage container according to the first inventive aspect and its inventive use. Therein, at least the main receiving space of the storage container serves for storing at least one portable electronic apparatus and at least one accessory element is stored in the additional receiving space of the lid construction. Therein, the portable electronic apparatus can be a mobile phone, a music player such as for example an MP3 player or a charging station of a mobile phone, of cordless headphones or another electronic apparatus comprising at least one chargeable accumulator for current supply. The accessory element can be a replacement part of the electronic apparatus, a retaining and positioning element of a headphone and / or an electronic and / or electrical element connectable to a charging station for accumulators storable in the storage container. However, other elements such as for example non-electronic elements such as coins, bills, cosmetics or the like can also be stored in the additional receiving space of the lid construction. By the use according to the invention, the possibility of easy stowage and transport of an electronic apparatus including corresponding accessory elements or further elements mentioned above arises.

Problems solved by technology

However, it is disadvantageous in the known storage devices, in particular the storage devices of silicone, that additional elements such as for example replacement parts for the electronic apparatus received in the storage device or also accessory elements cannot be additionally received due to the restriction of the receiving space of the known receiving devices.

This is relatively cumbersome for the user and causes a relatively large space requirement.
