Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of personal and beauty products. More specifically, this invention relates to portable or travel mirrors, and to packaging for products such as cosmetics, contact lenses, and other personal care items (where the use of a mirror is advantageous when applying them). Background Technology

[0002] Using a mirror is beneficial when applying makeup, inserting contact lenses, or applying other products such as sunscreen or hair wax. Mirrors are helpful when using these products because they allow the user to see where the product is being applied and / or ensure adequate coverage of the face. Furthermore, when applying products for aesthetic reasons, such as cosmetics, it is important for the user to ensure that the makeup looks satisfactory when applied to the face. Mirrors have been known to be used for decades for these reasons and other purposes.

[0003] Mirrors present a problem: they are typically fixed in locations such as bathrooms. However, applying personal products is becoming increasingly common when people are away from home or their workplaces (where fixed mirrors are usually located). Therefore, it is becoming more common to carry small mirrors or other personal items with cosmetics to allow for precise application when away from fixed mirrors. For example, it is common for people to use makeup palettes and portable mirrors to apply cosmetics on trains during their commutes.

[0004] Carrying a portable mirror and makeup palette presents several problems: First, the mirror and cosmetics are easily separated, such as the mirror being lost. Second, the exposed mirror surface is easily scratched or damaged, affecting normal use. Furthermore, it is often difficult to find a suitable place to place the mirror that is both stable (i.e., won't tip over) and in the optimal position for the user to apply personal items. Therefore, if, for example, the user is trying to apply makeup or insert contact lenses, and the mirror repeatedly tilts or deviates from the optimal position for the user to see their face or eyes clearly, the user may become very frustrated.

[0005] Existing cosmetic palettes typically feature a flip-top lid that covers the cosmetics when not in use. In some prior art examples, the flip-top lid includes an internal mirror.

[0006] Sliding pallet designs have been proposed for certain types of packaging. For example, a sliding pallet packaging employing a central divider and continuous belts is described in international patent application PCT / GB99 / 04429.

[0007] Patent document WO2010 / 018416A2 discloses a retractable mirror, comprising: a structure, a mirror, a biasing device, a tab member, and a transmission device; the mirror is movable relative to the structure along a first direction, from a retracted position to an extended position, wherein the mirror has a first orientation in the retracted position and a second orientation different from the first orientation in the extended position; the biasing device is used to bias the mirror from the first orientation to the second orientation; by using the tab member, the mirror is movable relative to the structure along a second direction different from the first direction, from a closed position with a smaller degree of extension to an open position with a larger degree of extension; the transmission device connects the mirror and the tab member, such that the movement of the tab member along the second direction drives the mirror to move along the first direction.

[0008] US2017 / 164736 discloses a tray housed within an opening in a housing. The tray is preferably mounted to the housing via a sliding bracket assembly. A lever is mounted to the tray and is pivotable between a locking configuration and a releasing configuration. When locked, the lever prevents the tray from being removed from the housing (bracket and); when the tray is open and the lever is in the releasing configuration, the tray is selectively removable from the housing (bracket and). When the tray selectively re-engages with the housing (bracket and) and moves to a closed configuration, the lever surface is pushed by alignment on the housing (bracket or) to automatically pivot the lever toward the locking configuration.

[0009] The purpose of this invention is to solve at least some of the above-mentioned problems, or at least to provide an alternative to the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0010] According to a first aspect of the invention, a box is provided, comprising: a generally tubular sleeve, a planar divider, a strap, a pop-out member, and a tray member, the tubular sleeve defining a through channel and including a first snap-fit ​​extending into the through channel; the planar divider extending through the channel; the strap extending around the divider as a continuous loop; the pop-out member extending into the channel and including: a connecting portion, a front portion, and a hinge, the connecting portion being connected to the strap; the front portion including: a mirror and a second snap-fit, the second snap-fit ​​being arranged to engage with the first snap-fit ​​in use; the hinge being located between the connecting portion and the front portion such that the front portion can rotate relative to the connecting portion in use; the tray member being connected to the strap and extending into the channel; such that in use, when the tray member moves out of the channel in a first direction, the pop-out member moves out of the channel in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and the first snap-fit ​​engages with the second snap-fit, such that the front portion rotates relative to the connecting portion about the hinge; and in use, when the tray member moves into the channel in the second direction, the pop-out member moves into the channel in the first direction.

[0011] This box offers a packaging solution where the product to be applied is stored together with a mirror, which is ready for use while applying the product. This provides the advantage that the product and mirror will not separate or get lost. The box offers the following advantages: the mirror automatically tilts to a practical angle, allowing the user to apply the product from the tray component while observing their reflection in the mirror. This box is particularly convenient for use on public transportation. Advantageously, the mirror will not be scratched or damaged during storage; further advantageously, the mirror will not tip over during use.

[0012] The tray component may include at least one storage compartment for storing products therein. Advantageously, the at least one storage compartment may be used for cosmetics and / or contact lenses and / or contact lens care solutions and / or pharmaceuticals and / or eye drops and / or face creams and / or sunscreens.

[0013] The box moves between a retractable configuration and an open configuration, wherein in the retractable configuration, the storage compartment is entirely within the tubular sleeve; and in the open configuration, the storage compartment is at least partially outside the tubular sleeve. Advantageously, in the retractable configuration, the product within the storage compartment can be securely stored.

[0014] The box may include cosmetic, ophthalmic, or dermatological products located in the at least one compartment.

[0015] As the tray member moves into the channel in the second direction, the at least one compartment can be configured to be closed by the belt. Advantageously, this prevents the product in the storage compartment from spilling out during transport when the box is closed.

[0016] The generally tubular sleeve may include a third latch extending into the through channel, and the tray includes a fourth latch arranged to engage with the third latch in use, such that when the tray member is moved out of the channel in a first direction, the third latch engages with the fourth latch to prevent movement of the tray within the generally tubular sleeve. Advantageously, this prevents over-pulling of the tray member, which can provide a more durable and longer-lasting box.

[0017] The hinge can be a movable hinge. Advantageously, movable hinges are easy to form during box manufacturing, and advantageously, movable hinges have low forming costs during box manufacturing.

[0018] The first latch may include a mirror cleaning section configured to engage the mirror surface when the pop-out member moves into and / or out of the channel. Advantageously, the mirror cleaning section keeps the mirror clean, making it usable.

[0019] The mirror cleaning unit may contain felt.

[0020] The mirror cleaning unit may contain recyclable materials.

[0021] The mirror cleaning section may contain woven paper.

[0022] The front panel may include a base layer and a mirror, the base layer being connected to the hinge and the mirror being adhered to the base layer. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0024] Figure 1 The makeup box 1 is shown in its storage configuration. As will be explained in detail, in this storage configuration, the user cannot apply makeup because of the mirror ( Figure 1 (not shown in the image) and cosmetics ( Figure 1 (Not shown) None of these items can be used. To access the mirror and cosmetics, the user must move the box to the open position, as will be explained.

[0025] Still referencing Figure 1 Box 1 includes the following main components: a tubular sleeve 100, a planar divider 200, a belt 300, a pop-out member 400, and a tray member 500. Figure 1 In the example shown, from Figure 1 From the provided perspective, the planar divider 200, the strap 300, the pop-out member 400, and the tray member 500 are all visible. It should be understood that in alternative examples (not shown), some or all of these components may be obscured by one or more of a baffle, lid, and hinge. In such examples, obscuring these components can provide a more elegant or desirable design when the box is in a stowage configuration. Furthermore, the aforementioned baffle, lid, or hinge can provide protection for these components, preventing damage, for example, when the box is carried in a user's handbag or backpack. Figure 2 Show Figure 1 Box 1 is viewed from the perspective of an alternative storage configuration; Figure 3 Show Figure 1 Box 1 is shown in a top view of its storage configuration. Each of the main components and their assembly methods are now explained in more detail.

[0026] The tubular sleeve 100 includes a top surface 101, a right surface 102, a left surface 103, and a bottom surface 104. The tubular sleeve 100 defines a through channel 110, which is used when the box 1 is in a certain position. Figures 1 to 3In the storage configuration shown, the through-channel 110 accommodates all other components of the box 1, except for the pull portion 510 of the tray member 500, which is located outside the tubular sleeve 100, allowing it to be easily gripped by the user during use. Therefore, in the storage configuration, the other components of the box 1 are protected by the tubular sleeve 100. In the example described herein, the tubular sleeve 100 is made of cardboard; in other examples, the tubular sleeve 100 may be made of other materials.

[0027] Still referencing Figure 1 A planar divider 200 extends across the through channel 110, thereby dividing the through channel 110 into an upper channel 111 and a lower channel 112. In the example described above, the planar divider 200 is made of cardboard. Still refer to Figure 1 As can be seen, the band 300 extends around the planar divider 200, the purpose of which will be explained in detail later. The pop-out member 400 is housed within the tubular sleeve 100 in the upper channel 111, and the tray member 500 is housed within the tubular sleeve 100 in the lower channel 112. When the pull part 510 is pulled to move the tray member 500 out of the lower channel 112 along the first direction A, the pop-out member 400 will move out of the upper channel 111 along a second direction B opposite to the first direction A, as will be explained in detail later.

[0028] refer to Figure 4 Further details of the tray component 500 and the pop-out component 400 are now provided. The tray component 500 includes a first compartment 521, a second compartment 522, and a third compartment 523. In the example described herein, the first compartment 521, the second compartment 522, and the third compartment 523 are arranged such that they can accommodate different cosmetic products. As previously stated, the specific type of product is not important. Therefore, the compartments 521, 522, and 523 can be designed to accommodate the desired products within the capabilities of those skilled in the art. Although three compartments 521, 522, and 523 are present in the example described herein, it should be understood that in other examples, one, two, or any number of compartments may be present. Furthermore, in some examples, the compartments are removable. For example, removable compartments allow a user to remove the compartment from the tray component 500 for use and then return the compartment to the tray component 500 for storage.

[0029] The pop-out component 400 includes a mirror. In the example currently described, the mirror is a glass mirror 410. In the example currently described, the glass mirror 410 is fixed to the base layer 420 by adhesive. It should be understood that in other examples, the mirror 410 may be plastic or acrylic or other suitable material. Furthermore, in other examples, the mirror 410 may be fixed to the base layer 420 by other fixing methods.

[0030] Box 1 can be configured for storage ( Figures 1 to 3As shown), the first configuration to open ( Figure 4 (as shown) and the second open configuration ( Figure 5 The tray 1 can be moved between the tray components (as shown). In use, to open the tray 1, the user pulls the pull part 510 of the tray component 500, thereby moving the tray 1 to the desired position. Figure 4 The first opening configuration is shown. In this configuration, the tray member 500 and the ejector member 400 extend from opposite sides of the box 1. If the user pulls the tray member 500 further, a portion of the ejector member 400 rotates to an inclined position, as shown. Figure 5 As shown. The part arranged to rotate includes a mirror 410, such that when applying product from the tray member 500, the mirror 410 tilts to a position where the user can use the mirror 410.

[0031] Now, let's first combine Figures 6 to 8 The internal structure is described, which is configured to allow mirror 410 to tilt automatically in the second open configuration. Figures 6 to 8 The tubular sleeve 100 is omitted to allow for discussion of the internal structure. The band 300 extends as a continuous loop around the planar divider 200. Although not shown in the example described herein, the band 300 may be positioned within a cutout on the side of the planar divider 200, which has a cutout slightly wider than the band 300. If necessary, cutouts may be formed on each side of the divider 200 so that the band 300 is recessed into the edge of the tubular sleeve and is not visible during normal use of the box 1.

[0032] Brief Reference Figure 13 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the box 1 in a storage configuration. The distance between the opposite ends 310 and 320 of the strap 300 defines the maximum total movement of the tray member 500 and the ejector member 400. Therefore, the distance between the opposite ends 310 and 320 of the strap 300 must be sufficient such that when the box 1 is in a second open configuration, the travel of the tray member 500 is sufficient to access the contents of the first compartment 521, the second compartment 522, and the third compartment 523 during use.

[0033] Refer again Figures 6 to 8 As previously described, mirror 410 is visible attached to base layer 420. Base layer 420 includes front portion 421 and connecting portion 422, with mirror 410 attached to front portion 421. A hinge 423 is provided between front portion 421 and connecting portion 422, allowing front portion 421 to rotate relative to connecting portion 422. In the example described herein, hinge 423 is formed by weakening a strip of material passing through base layer 420. It should be understood that in other examples not described herein, other types of hinges may be used to allow front portion 421 to rotate relative to connecting portion 422.

[0034] like Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 13It can be most clearly seen that the connector 422 is firmly attached to the belt 300. In the example described herein, the connector 422 is connected by a first adhesive 600 ( Figure 13 (As shown) is connected to the belt 300. The front part 421 is not connected to the belt 300, allowing the front part 421 to rotate relative to the connecting part 422, as previously described. Therefore, the connection between the connecting part 422 and the belt 300 allows the ejector member 400 to be driven out and into the tubular sleeve 100 during use due to the movement of the belt 300. Similarly, the tray member 500 is connected by a second adhesive 601 ( Figure 13 (As shown) The connecting belt 300 moves when the pallet component 500 is pulled out or pushed into the tubular sleeve 100.

[0035] refer to Figure 13 It should be understood that in the illustrated storage configuration, the connection point between the tray member 500 and the strap 300 is near the end of the box 1 where the pop-out member 400 and the strap 300 are connected. Those skilled in the art will understand that when the pulling part 510 is pulled along direction A, the tray member 500 is pulled out of the tubular sleeve 100 along direction A, and the strap 300 rotates. Since the strap 300 forms a continuous loop around the planar divider 200, the strap 300 travels along direction A in the lower channel 112 and along direction B in the upper channel 111. Due to the connection of the connecting part 420 with the strap 300 in the upper channel 111, the pop-out member 400 is driven to leave the tubular sleeve 100 along direction B. Figures 6 to 8 The internal structure of box 1 is shown when box 1 moves from the storage configuration to the first open configuration.

[0036] Now for reference Figure 9 The diagram shows a partially exploded view of box 1, in which the tubular sleeve 100 extends outwards from the aforementioned internal components. This view is for illustrative purposes only, and it should be understood that box 1 needs to be... Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 Used in the fully assembled state shown.

[0037] refer to Figure 9 and Figure 13 It can be seen that the top surface 101 of the tubular sleeve 100 includes a first latch 120, which extends into the through channel 110 after being assembled with the internal components of the box 1. Figure 13 (As shown). The front portion 421 of the pop-out member 400 includes a second latch 430. From Figure 9 and Figure 13 As can be seen, in the storage configuration, the first latch 120 and the second latch 430 are located at opposite ends of box 1. As mentioned earlier, the user first moves box 1 to... Figure 4The first open configuration is shown. When the box 1 is moved to the first open configuration, the first latch 120 and the second latch 430 align so that they engage. Once the box 1 is in the first open configuration, further pulling the tray member 500 in direction A will move the box 1 to the second open configuration, in which the mirror 410 is tilted forward. As previously described, the mirror 410 is tilted forward by the rotation of the front portion 421 relative to the connecting portion 422 about the hinge 423, which will now be described in further detail.

[0038] refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 When the tray member 500 is further pulled from the first open configuration, the first latch 120 and the second latch 430 engage. In the example described herein, the second latch 430 is connected to the mirror 410 of the front portion 421 of the pop-out member 400. It should be understood that in other examples, the second latch 430 may be integrally formed with the mirror 410 or another part of the front portion 421. Regardless of whether it is connected or integrally formed, the second latch 430 is connected to the front portion 421 such that when the first latch 120 and the second latch 430 are engaged, the first latch 120 prevents the second latch 430 from moving forward, thereby causing the front portion 421 to rotate relative to the connecting portion 422 while the connecting portion 422 is still being driven forward by the connection with the belt 300 and the tray member 500 being further pulled from the tubular sleeve 100 in the A direction. In other words, as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As most clearly shown, the connecting portion 422 is driven forward by the belt 300, while the second latch 430 is engaged by the first latch 120, thereby causing the front portion 421 connected to the second latch 430 to rotate relative to the connecting portion 422 about the hinge 423.

[0039] When the tray member 500 moves out of the lower channel 112 in direction A, the described structure thereby provides that the ejector member 400 moves out of the upper channel 111 in direction B, which is opposite to direction A, and the first latch 120 engages with the second latch 430, so that the front portion 421 rotates about the hinge 423 relative to the connecting portion 422. Figure 12 Another partial breakdown diagram is provided to help readers understand the arrangement and connection of the above components.

[0040] like Figure 9 As most clearly shown in the example described herein, the first snap fastener 120 and the second snap fastener 430 are respectively formed with the top surface 101 and connected to the front surface 421, and each is formed of a free-form cardboard. It should be understood that in alternative examples, the snap fasteners may be formed in other ways.

[0041] It should also be understood that when pallet component 500 moves into lower channel 112 along direction B ( Figure 9 When the pop-up component 400 is not visible in the middle, it moves into the upper channel 111 along direction A. Figure 9 (Not visible in the middle). In view of this, after the user has used one or more of the products in compartments 521, 522, 523 and has used the mirror 410 in the tilted position (which allows for easier application of the products in compartments 521, 522, 523), when the box 1 is moved to the storage position again, the first latch 120 and the second latch 430 simply disengage.

[0042] Refer again Figure 6 and Figure 13 A convenient feature of the above structure is that the band 300 can provide a sealed closure of the compartment. In some examples, the compartment may include powdered products (such as cosmetics). In such examples, the ability of the band 300 to seal the compartment closed or provide at least a partial seal is particularly advantageous. Figure 13 In the diagram, the connection between the strap 300 and the tray component 500 is exaggerated for illustrative purposes. It should be understood that in use, the strap 300 can be directly attached to the tray component 500. The strap 300 may be at least as wide as the compartments 521, 522, and 523, such that when the box 1 is returned to its storage configuration, the strap 300 completely covers and thereby seals or partially seals the compartments 521, 522, and 523, thus ensuring that powdered products do not leak from the compartments 521, 522, and 523 when the box 1 is stored. For users, leaked cosmetic powder or other powdered products are particularly undesirable and inconvenient.

[0043] For the sake of completeness, Figure 14 Box 1 is shown in the second open configuration.

[0044] Now for reference Figure 15 Box 1 is shown to have more optional features. The bottom surface 104 includes a third latch 130, which, when assembled with the internal components of box 1, extends into the through channel 110. Figure 15 (Not shown in the image). The tray member 500 includes a fourth latch 520 that protrudes from the bottom surface 501 of the tray member 500. A third latch 130 and a fourth latch 430 are located at opposite ends of the box 1. The third latch 130 and the fourth latch 430 are aligned such that they will engage and prevent the user from excessively pulling on the tray member 500.

[0045] Still referencing Figure 15The first latch 120 is provided with an optional mirror cleaning material 121, which is disposed on the surface of the first latch 120 such that when assembled with the internal components of the box 1, the mirror cleaning material 121 will contact the mirror 410 when the ejector member 400 moves out of or into the through channel 110. In the example described herein, the mirror cleaning material 121 is a piece of felt. In some alternative examples, the mirror cleaning material 121 may contain recyclable materials, such as, but not limited to, woven paper. (Referring to...) Figure 15 The tray member 500 is provided with optional holes 521', 522', and 523'. As previously described, compartments 521, 522, and 523 are removable. For example, the removability of compartments 521, 522, and 523 allows a user to remove or push compartments 521, 522, and 523 out of the tray member 500 for use, replenishment, or replacement, and then place compartments 521, 522, and 523 (or new or different compartments) back into the tray member 500 for storage. The holes 521', 522', and 523' extend through the thickness of the tray member 500, thereby allowing compartments 521, 522, and 523 to be inserted into the tray member 500. It should be understood that the tray component 500 may be configured with a suitable receiving device that aligns with the compartments 521, 522, 523 of the insertion holes 521', 522', 523', so that during use, the compartments 521, 522, 523 can be securely held within the holes 521', 522', 523'. In this way, when, for example, the cosmetic contained in the compartment is used up, or when it is desired to install a replacement cosmetic in the tray component 500, the compartments 521, 522, 523 can be easily replaced. For example, the user can use, for example, their thumb and fingers to push the compartments 521, 522, 523 through the holes 521', 522', 523'. It should be understood that when in the storage configuration, the holes 521', 522', 523' are covered by the tubular sleeve 100, so that the compartments 521, 522, 523 cannot be accidentally removed from the box 1 during storage or transportation. Furthermore, the tubular sleeve 100 covers the holes 521', 522', and 523', and thus also covers the bottom of each compartment 521, 522, and 523, which provides the advantage of preventing dust from clogging around the holes and compartments, which would otherwise make it difficult to remove compartments 521, 522, and 523 from the tray member 500 when needed.

[0046] refer to Figure 16 The diagram provides a cross-sectional view of a portion of the box 1, which includes mirror cleaning material 121, after assembly. In the example described herein, a first snap 120 is biased toward the mirror 410 such that, as the ejector member 400 moves into or out of the through channel 110, the mirror cleaning material 121 is pressed against the mirror 410 to provide cleaning for the mirror 410.

[0047] exist Figures 17 to 21 An alternative structure for the pop-out member 400 of box 1 is provided. This pop-out member 400 is arranged to operate in essentially the same manner as described above. As previously mentioned, mirror 410 is attached to base layer 420. Base layer 420 includes front portion 421 and connecting portion 422. As previously mentioned, mirror 410 is attached to front portion 421.

[0048] like Figure 17 and Figure 18 As clearly shown, the alternative example differs from the previous example in that the bottom layer 420 includes a two-layer structure, while the previous example used a single-layer structure. Figure 17 and Figure 18 In the double-layer structure shown, the bottom layer 420 is provided with an upper layer 420A and a lower layer 420B, wherein the upper layer 420A and the lower layer 420B are formed by stacking a single piece of material.

[0049] Between the front portion 421 and the connecting portion 422, a movable hinge 423 is provided on the lower layer 420B, which allows the front portion 421 to rotate relative to the connecting portion 422. In the example described herein, the movable hinge 423 is formed by weakening a strip of material passing through the lower layer 420B of the bottom layer 420. It should be understood that in other examples not described herein, other types of hinges may be used to allow the front portion 421 to rotate relative to the connecting portion 422.

[0050] The connecting portion 422 is securely connected to the belt 300. The front portion 421 is not connected to the belt 300, allowing the front portion 421 to rotate relative to the connecting portion 422, as previously described. Therefore, the connection between the connecting portion 422 and the belt 300 allows the ejector member 400 to be driven out of and into the tubular sleeve 100 during use due to the movement of the belt 300.

[0051] refer to Figure 19 and Figure 20 When the tray member 500 is further pulled from the first open configuration, the first latch 120 and the second latch 430 engage. In the alternative example described herein, the second latch 430 is formed from the upper layer 420A of the bottom layer 420 in the front portion 421 of the pop-out member 400. The second latch 430 is formed from the upper layer 420A of the bottom layer 420 in the front portion 421 such that when the first latch 120 and the second latch 430 are engaged, the first latch 120 prevents the second latch 430 from moving forward, thereby causing the front portion 421 to rotate relative to the connecting portion 422 while the connecting portion 422 is still being driven forward by the connection with the belt 300 and the tray member 500 is further pulled in the A direction from the tubular sleeve 100.

[0052] Figure 20As most clearly shown, hinge 423 separates front portion 421 from connecting portion 422, and front portion 421 includes second latch 430, allowing front portion 421 to rotate about hinge 423 during use.

[0053] To avoid ambiguity, combined Figure 21 The simplified schematic diagram further illustrates that the upper layer 420A and the lower layer 420B of the bottom layer 420 are represented by single lines, thus clearly showing that the upper layer 420A and the lower layer 420B are formed by the stacking of a single sheet of material.

[0054] Still referencing Figure 21 It can be clearly seen that the second snap 430 is formed from the upper layer 420A of the bottom layer 420 in the front part 421. Compared with attaching the second snap 430 to the mirror 410 as in the previous example, providing the second snap 430 integrally with the upper layer 420A simplifies the manufacturing and assembly process of the box 1.

[0055] Although not described in detail herein, it should be understood that the alternative box may contain a practical substitute for mirror 410. In some examples, the front panel 421 may contain any combination of the following (alternative to a mirror or other than a mirror): text, graphics, instructions, illustrations, makeup tools, makeup brushes, face paint brushes, paintbrushes, eyeshadow brushes, displays, speakers, and lights.

[0056] Therefore, text, graphics, descriptions, and / or illustrations may include instructions for use, warnings, safety information, and / or cleaning instructions. Cosmetic accessories or tools may be conveniently located on or within the front panel, allowing the user to use them while the product is held in the box. Providing one or more displays, speakers, and / or lights allows for the provision of audio and / or visual information to the user. The display may be an interactive screen. Therefore, in some examples, the display may include buttons or may be a touchscreen.
