Double Button Safety Match Box

Abstract

This disclosure relates generally to a safety match box and comprises a cover member of a generally box-like configuration which has a slidable tray having a pack of matches fastened thereto which fits within the cover member. The general object of this invention is the provision of a very simple device which is adapted to hold a box of matches, a shelf, and lock the box thereto permitting the box to be opened and the matches removed whenever desired. This invention is to provide a child-proof safety match box wherein the tray cannot be completely withdrawn from the cover and particular manipulative steps must be taken in order to open the container.

Description

BACKGROUNDField of the Invention[0001]The utility model relates to the technical field of product packaging boxes, in particular to a packaging box with a locking mechanism.Description of the Related Art[0002]Cardboard packaging plays an extremely important role in the modern product packaging industry. According to different items of packaging and storage needs, there are different configurations and functions of the product from cardboard cutting, rotating and folding. The pull-type packaging box comprises an outer box and an inner box for placing objects. The inner box can be inwardly received in the outer box and can be drawn out from the opening section of the outer box. In the existing pull-type packaging box, cartons are extended in the opening section of the outer box. Out-extended cardboard is inwardly snapped in to prevent the inner box from slipping out accidentally and outwardly, and it can be folded when the inner box needs to be taken out. The industry also discloses a...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a childproof container closure that includes an inner box and an outer box with a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism includes a resisting plate and a control component. The resisting plate is placed on the inner box to prevent it from sliding out of the outer box, and the control component is pressed against the resisting plate to placed it upward beyond the stop surface, making it easy to pull out the inner box from the outer box. The packaging box is simple and durable, and easy to use. This invention provides a better childproof container closure solution that is efficient and cost-effective.

Problems solved by technology

The industry also discloses a locking mechanism between the outer box and the inner box, but there are still problems of complex structure, lack of tolerance, short service life and other issues.

The prior art discloses various match box arrangements with safety features, but in general, the match boxes of the prior art fail to meet the safety requirements.

One of the main requirements is to design a child-proof match box arrangement since the prior art is noticeably deficient in this respect.

These latter patents have serious design drawbacks since, for example, the tray can be removed leaving the striking surface exposed at all times. While U.S. Pat. No. 2,604,980 to Reed does not have child-proof locking means and merely provides a minimum of safety precautions.

However, to Applicant's knowledge, none of these prior art methods have been found to be completely suitable and are cumbersome and non-durable.
