Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a container designed to accommodate one or several objects, the container comprising a main body and a top cover, the main body being provided with a bottom and a side wall, the bottom and the side wall forming a boundary structure towards the top cover, the container further having a connecting edge, wherein the main body and the top cover are pivotally joined to each other at the connecting edge, the container further being provided with a deployable statue and members that may be capable of producing visual and / or auditory effects, the deployable statue being reversibly transformable from a compressed flat state into a three-dimensional deployed state. Background Art

[0002] In order to present and hand over a gift to a recipient in an attractive manner, containers used as gift boxes or gift wrappings are known, for example as disclosed in the publication DE 20 2006 016 582 U1. On the one hand, this type of gift box must be provided with compartments for accommodating a gift (such as a book or the like), but it is also desirable for them to have additional effects. The effects so produced may be of an auditory nature, for example playing melodies such as birthday, wedding or Christmas songs. In addition to or instead of the auditory effects produced, visual effects may also be produced, in particular by using light-emitting diodes (LEDs) capable of producing a flashing frequency.

[0003] In principle, another effect known from the prior art and that may be additionally produced by a gift box relates to reversibly foldable and deployable three-dimensional statues. Three-dimensional statues of this nature also often occur in greeting cards. When the greeting card or gift box is opened, the statue unfolds, thus forming a three-dimensional deployed state and may represent a specific object, preferably an object suitable for the occasion or meaningful to the recipient of the gift. Typical three-dimensional objects are wedding cakes, newlyweds, cars, etc.

[0004] In principle, relevant containers that can be used as gift boxes are known, but their design and manufacture are still relatively complex to date. Since this is an everyday article or item that needs to be manufactured cost-effectively, the object requires the provision of a suitable container that has a purposeful, appropriate structure and is also capable of being produced in a simple manner. Summary of the Invention

[0005] As proposed by the present utility model, this object is achieved by a container designed to accommodate one or several objects, said container comprising a main body and a top cover, said main body being provided with a bottom and side walls, said bottom and said side walls forming a boundary structure facing said top cover, said container further having a connecting edge, wherein said main body and said top cover are pivotally joined to each other at said connecting edge, said container further being provided with a deployable figurine and a member capable of generating visual and / or auditory effects, said deployable figurine being reversibly transformable from a compressed flat state into a three-dimensional deployed state, said container being provided with a foldable insert, said foldable insert comprising at least five sections arranged side by side longitudinally, wherein

[0006] the first section covers the inner side of the top cover,

[0007] the second section and the fifth section are placed on top of each other in said main body, and

[0008] the third section and the fourth section are arranged on top of each other against the inner side of said side wall opposite to said connecting edge for accommodating said object, an interval for accommodating said object is formed between said bottom and said second section and said fifth section placed on top of each other, the member for generating visual and / or auditory effects is located between said inner side of said top cover and said first section, and said deployable figurine is arranged between said first section and said second section.

[0009] The fact that a single insert is sufficient to provide a traditional container with all the functions required for a gift box is considered a special advantage of the present utility model. The foldable insert is an elongated strip having a width substantially the same as or slightly smaller than the width of the container so that it can be inserted into the top cover and the main body. Viewed longitudinally, the insert consists of a first section, a second section, a third section, a fourth section, and a fifth section arranged side by side. The insert is in most cases made of thick paper or cardboard material.

[0010] Although the dimensions of the first section, the second section, and the fifth section are generally substantially the same and in this respect are consistent with the area of the bottom or the top cover of the container, the widths of the third section and the fourth section are the same as those of the other sections, but in terms of length, these sections are substantially similar to the height of the container. Usually, the container is cubic, the large sections are flat cuboids, the width and depth being much greater than the height. Therefore, viewed longitudinally, the third section and the fourth section are much shorter than the first section, the second section, and the fifth section. The lengths of the third section and the fourth section are substantially equal to or slightly less than the height of the container, which means that the third section and the fourth section can be placed against the inner side of a side wall of the main body.

[0011] As described above, the container proposed by the present utility model is generally a cuboid with a rectangular base area. The dimension of the width of the insert is matched with the width of the container, and the width of the insert is generally the same in all sections. The lengths of the first section, the second section and the fifth section are substantially equal to the depth of the container, and the lengths of the third section and the fourth section are equal to the height of the container. However, it must always be borne in mind that each section of the insert should be slightly smaller than the relevant dimension of the container so that each section of the insert can be easily placed or fitted onto each section of the container.

[0012] Although in principle the width of the insert remains substantially constant over the entire length of the insert, there are individual sections which may have additional areas at the longitudinal ends or are arranged on the foldable side. This is especially true for the first section, which is placed against the inner side of the top lid. If the top lid itself has a surrounding border, these foldable areas can be placed against the inner surface of the border and, if necessary, fixed to the inner surface of the border.

[0013] An additional bendable section can be adjacent to the top-side foldable area. This additional bendable section preferably has the same width as the other sections. The length generally corresponds to the length of the first section. The additional bendable section is generally an integral part of the insert, however, it can also be attached to the insert as a separate part. When folding the insert, the additional bendable section covers the first section, thereby creating a void. The first section and the additional bendable section are placed inside the top lid of the container, where the top-side foldable area defines the height of the gap. The void created in this way can be used to accommodate electronic components, such as components for generating optical and / or auditory effects.

[0014] The container itself is a generally conventional design, with a body provided with a bottom and side walls forming a border structure around the bottom. In addition, the container is also provided with a top lid, which may also have a border structure, in which case the border structure faces towards the bottom; however, it is also conceivable to use a flat top lid. However, the advantage of a top lid provided with an edge is that the available space inside the top lid is increased in this way, so that this space can be used to accommodate components for generating visual and / or auditory effects.

[0015] The top lid and the body are joined to each other along a connecting edge, that is to say, the top lid can be folded open along the connecting edge. This connection is designed to be pivotable, and in particular one or more hinge parts can be provided here.

[0016] Different regions inside the container are separated from each other by inserts. The first section of the insert covers the inner side of the top cover and is inserted therein in the case where the top cover is provided with a surrounding edge. The subsequent sections are each folded relative to an adjacent section along an edge extending between the respective sections. The third section is folded approximately 180° relative to the fourth section such that opposite sides of the third section and the fourth section abut against each other. The third section and the fourth section can be fixed to each other along the opposite sides, for example by gluing / adhering, and in this way a common double layer is formed. Correspondingly, opposite sides of the second section and the fifth section can also be arranged opposite to each other, and the second section / fifth section now forms a right angle with the third section / fourth section. Thus, the second section and the fifth section are also arranged to form a common double layer. In such a structure, the insert from the second section to the fifth section can be placed in the body, and the third section and the fourth section ensure that the second section and the fifth section are separated from the bottom of the body. When the container is used as a gift box, the container compartments formed in this way are used to accommodate articles, especially gifts. The second section and the fifth section can also be fixed to each other along the opposite sides, for example by gluing. By folding the second section to the fifth section together, the compartment for storing articles can be opened, that is, the articles can be taken out of the body.

[0017] The deployable figurine is located between the first section and the second section in such a way that once the first section is moved away from the second section, it independently presents its three-dimensional deployed form, which is the case when the top cover of the container is opened. When the top cover is closed again, the first section and the second section come together again such that the three-dimensional figurine returns to its flat compressed state.

[0018] The first section of the insert is placed in the top cover in such a way that a gap is created between the inner side of the top cover and the first section, which enables components for generating visual effects and / or auditory effects to be accommodated in this space. For example, these components can be located at the rear side of the first section. In the case where the insert has an additional bendable section adjacent to the top-side foldable region, these components can also be located at the rear side of this additional bendable section. These components are the electrical and electronic parts required for the container, especially including a voltage source, a speaker, an integrated circuit, a printed circuit board, an LED, a resistor, etc. However, it is not excluded that individual electrical or electronic components can also be arranged in another region of the container, especially an LED for generating visual effects. In particular, at least individual electrical and / or electronic components can also be installed on the opposite side of the second section, that is, between the second section and the fifth section. However, generally, the control unit for operating the visual effects and / or auditory effects is placed between the inner side of the top cover and the first section of the insert. Preferably, most of the electrical and electronic components are arranged on a printed circuit board.

[0019] Another option is to provide a component for initiating a motion effect, which, when the container is opened, allows the sections of the deployable figure to move through this component. This motion effect is typically generated by the same control unit that operates the visual and / or auditory effects. The component for actuating the motion effect can be, for example, a small electric motor or a spring actuated by the control unit or via a switch. A part of the deployable statue can be swung by a spring.

[0020] Typically, the insert is composed of thick, usually single-layered paper or cardboard, as these materials are easily available, inexpensive and can be easily formed into the desired / suitable shape. However, in principle, it is also conceivable to use, for example, plastic materials or thin metal sheets to manufacture the insert.

[0021] The first section of the foldable insert can be at least partially joined to the inner side of the top cover. This enables a firm and permanent fixation of the top cover. Due to the fact that the electronic components are accommodated between the inner side of the top cover and the first section, on the one hand, it is usually sufficient to join only the edge region of the first section to the inner side of the top cover in order to achieve fixation in this way, but on the other hand, sufficient space is left for the components required for generating the visual / auditory effects.

[0022] The first section can have an opening through which a switch extends, which is used to activate or deactivate the components for generating visual / auditory effects and, if applicable, motion effects. The switch is configured in such a way that when the container is opened, the components are enabled, and when the container is closed, the components are disabled. This means that when the top cover is opened, the playback of the visual / auditory effects begins, for example, in the form of playing a melody or generating a lighting effect. For example, the switch can interact with the second section and is thus activated depending on the distance generated between the first section and the second section. In particular, a simple push-button switch can be used for this purpose, which is enabled or disabled depending on the open state of the top cover. It goes without saying that the switch must be connected to and interact with the other components provided to generate visual / auditory effects.

[0023] Optionally, the control of the components for generating effects can also be achieved by reed contacts. For this purpose, the reed contacts are arranged in the area of the first section, for example, between the inner side of the top cover and the first section of the insert, and the magnet is located in the area of the second section, for example, between the second section and the fifth section of the insert, and a construction vice versa is also conceivable. When the container is opened or closed, the distance between the reed contacts and the magnet increases and decreases respectively, resulting in the enabling or disabling of the components for generating visual / auditory effects and motion effects (if applicable). The reed contacts and the magnet can also be located at replaceable points of the container, changing their positions depending on whether the top cover is open or closed. For example, the magnet can be located at the opening edge of the main body sidewall, while the reed contacts are connected to the top cover, and vice versa.

[0024] The lighting element is conveniently arranged between the first section of the insert and the inner side of the top cover and / or between the second section and the fifth section of the insert, and the element is electrically connected to an element for generating a visual effect. To make the visual effect visible to the surrounding environment, a first cutout is provided in the first section and / or the second section to allow the light generated by the light emitter to pass through. Optionally, the first section and / or the second section can be designed to be at least sectionally transparent. Generally, the lighting element is a light-emitting diode (LED) because they are particularly small and have low power consumption. Thus, the viewer can feel the generated visual effect as soon as the container is opened, which is due to the pivoting of the top cover relative to the body causing the activation of the aforementioned element for generating visual / auditory effects.

[0025] Furthermore, the first section and the second section of the insert are conveniently provided with a third cutout for fixing the deployable figurine. As described above, the figurine is located between the first section and the second section and is configured to automatically deploy when the container is opened and return to its compressed flat shape when the container is closed. In most cases, the deployable figurine is arranged on the insert as a separate element, but it can also be formed as part of the insert itself. By fixing the sections of the deployable figurine to the cutouts provided in the first section, the individual sections of the figurine thus move away from the rest of the figurine when the top cover is opened, which results in the deployment of the three-dimensional figurine. Suitable folding techniques are well known in the field of greeting cards. The deployable figurine can also be permanently connected to the first section and the second section.

[0026] Between the respective sections, perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the insert, areas facilitating the folding of the insert can be provided. This applies in particular to the area between the first section and the second section because, unlike the boundaries between the other sections, movement occurs each time the top cover is opened and closed. For example, the area can be provided with 2 to 4 notches or grooves that allow bending and folding with reduced force and in this way bring additional flexibility to the movement.

[0027] In particular, as described above, the top cover itself can be provided with side walls forming a boundary structure facing the bottom. The top cover in this case is not a simple flat top cover but has a certain height due to the border. Thus, the first section of the insert can be placed into the top cover. Additionally, the boundary structure ensures that the height of the top cover allows for the accommodation of the electronic components for generating visual / auditory effects.

[0028] Near the connecting edge where the body and the top cover are pivotally connected to each other, reinforcing strips can be inserted into the top cover and the body parallel to the connecting edge. For example, these reinforcing strips consist of relatively thick cardboard strips. Generally, the length of these strips corresponds to the width inside the container, and the height of the strips roughly matches the height of the body or the height of the top cover.

[11] Thus, the strip can be placed in the top cover or the body, and the reinforcing strip is snugly fitted, so that additional fixation is generally not required. However, additional fixation measures can be taken, such as bonding the reinforcing strip to the side wall of the top cover / body adjacent to the connecting edge. Thus, the two reinforcing strips extend parallel to the connecting edge. The reinforcing strips are provided to increase the stiffness of the body and the top cover.

[0029] The reinforcing strip placed in the top cover can also be used to accommodate a switch, which activates and deactivates components for generating visual and / or auditory effects when the container is opened and closed. For this purpose, the reinforcing strip placed in the top cover can have a second cutout through which the associated switch projects. When the container is closed, the switch contacts an area of the body, such as the side wall adjacent to the connecting edge or the reinforcing strip placed in the body, which activates it, causing the components set to generate the effects to become inactive. Once the top cover is opened, the activation of the switch no longer functions, causing the components for generating the effects to be enabled.

[0030] The reinforcing strip placed in the top cover can also be part of an insert, preferably an L-shaped insert, which can be made of paper material, especially structured paper material. The insert can be fixed to the inside of the top cover. All the electronic components of the container for generating visual and / or auditory effects, preferably including the switch, can be located at the insert. Thus, the electronic components of the container, including the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA), are part of a separate plug fixed to the top cover. As mentioned before, the reinforcing strip can accommodate the switch, i.e., in a groove or cutout of the reinforcing strip.

[0031] To limit the opening angle between the top cover and the body, a strap, cord or the like can be installed between the top cover and the body. In this way, for example, the opening angle can be limited to 90° to 110°, such as 100°, bearing in mind that without the strap / cord, a full opening angle of 180° is possible, which may not be the most desirable option. By opening the top cover in this way, it is ensured that the configuration of the container can most appropriately display the deployable statue. Since the three-dimensional structure of the deployable statue depends on the opening angle formed between the top cover and the body, it is desirable and useful to limit the opening angle.

[0032] To ensure that the top cover can pivot relative to the body of the container, the connecting edge is conveniently provided with one or more hinge parts, which allows the container to be opened and closed repeatedly without difficulty.

[0033] An additional reinforcing plate can be placed between the second section and the fifth section, and the second section and the fifth section are arranged in the body parallel to the bottom of the body. This strengthens the hardness of the second section and the fifth section and enables the user to write on the second section or the fifth section, for example, to add a greeting message to the recipient of the gift.

[0034] To allow the recipient of the gift to easily open the compartment to obtain the item it contains, particularly the gift, a pulling element may be connected to the second or third section, which the user can grasp. For example, such a pulling element may be a small loop that must be pulled to open the compartment containing the item to be distributed. The compartment is closed again by pushing the second to fifth sections back into the body.

[0035] The present utility model is further illustrated by the accompanying drawings by way of example. It should be noted that the drawings show variants of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and the present utility model itself is not limited thereto. To the extent that it is technically advantageous, the present utility model particularly includes any optional combination of the technical features related to the present utility model stated in the claims or the description.

[0058] In Figure 1 the present utility model is shown in the form of an inclined top view. The container 10 is composed of a main body 11 and a top cover 12, and the main body 11 is composed of a bottom 13 and a side wall 14. In the embodiment shown here, the top cover 12 also has a side wall 20, and the top cover 12 and the main body 11 are pivotally connected to each other along the connecting edge 6. The opening of the container 10 is restricted by a strap 24.

[0059] In a top view, Figure 2aThe insert 9 in the unfolded state is shown. The insert 9 has five sections 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, which are arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction. Except for the foldable area 27 provided laterally in the area of the first section 1, the width of the insert 9 is constant over its entire length. In contrast, the first section 1, the second section 2, and the fifth section 5 are significantly longer than the third section 3 and the fourth section 4, which is related to the fact that in the inserted state, the first section 1 is positioned against the inner side of the top cover 12, the second section 2 and the fifth section 5 are against the bottom 13 of the main body 11, while the third section 3 and the fourth section 4 are placed against the side wall 14 of the main body 11. In the case where the container 10 is designed as a flat cuboid, this results in a significant reduction in the length of the third section 3 and the fourth section 4 compared to the other sections 1, 2, and 5.

[0060] In addition, various cuts can be seen in the insert 9. The opening 29 is for passing a pulling element by means of which the separating part can be opened to accommodate an item, especially a gift. The third cut 28 is for fixing a foldable statue to be mounted on the insert 9. The switch for enabling visual / audio effects passes through the cut 18. Finally, the first cut 19 is provided for the LEDs located below to allow them to illuminate and emit light through the insert 9. When the top cover 12 of the container 10 is opened or closed, an additional area 26 is provided to make the insert 9 flexible enough along the connecting edge 6 of the container 10 and to facilitate folding of the insert 9 in this area.

[0061] Figure 2b A view equivalent to that of an alternative embodiment is shown, where Figure 2a the insert 9 includes an additional bendable section 31 adjacent to the top-side foldable area 27. When the insert 9 is inserted into the top cover 12, the additional bendable section 31 folds towards the first section 1, where the top-side foldable area 27 creates a gap of a certain height between the additional bendable section 31 and the first section 1. This gap can be used to accommodate the electronic component 8.

[0062] In Figure 3a when viewed from above, the insert 9 is shown in the folded state, while Figure 3b this is a view from below. Due to the folding of the insert 9, the second section 2 and the fifth section 5 are arranged on top of each other, and the same applies to the third section 3 and the fourth section 4. On the other hand, the first section 1 is provided as a single layer placed in the top cover 12.

[0063] However, according to Figure 2b an alternative embodiment of the insert 9 of Figure 3c and Figure 3d corresponds to Figure 3a and Figure 3b。The additional flexible section 31 is folded towards the first section 1. The electronic component 8 for generating optical and / or auditory effects can be accommodated in the gap between the additional flexible section 31 and the first section 1. These can be attached to the rear side of the first section 1 or the rear side of the additional flexible section 31.

[0064] In Figure 4a a top view shows the insert 9 having the component 8 for generating visual / auditory effects. The switch 30 extending through the opening 18 shown above is used to activate or deactivate the component 8 by opening or closing the top cover 12.

[0065] In Figure 4b a corresponding insert 9 is shown, which is different from the embodiment shown in Figure 4a in terms of the activation of the component 8 for generating visual / auditory effects, because here a reed contact 16 interacting with the magnet 17 is provided. In both cases, the component 8 for generating visual / auditory effects is arranged on the opposite side of the first section 1, and the same applies to the reed contact 16. On the other hand, the magnet 17 is located between the second section 2 and the fifth section 5.

[0066] According to Figure 4c the embodiment in, the magnet 17 is located at the opening edge of the side wall 14. When the top cover 12 is opened, the component 8 for generating visual / auditory effects is activated.

[0067] Figure 5a shows how the deployable statue 7 is mounted on the insert 9 as indicated by the arrow. The deployable statue 7 is placed between the first section 1 and the second section 2 in such a way that it automatically deploys when the first section 1 and the second section 2 are unfolded, which is done by opening the top cover 12 in the inserted state. The third cutout 28 mentioned above is used to fix the deployable figure 7.

[0068] In Figure 5b the insert 9 is shown with the deployable statue 7 in the fixed position. When the container 10 is opened, the statue unfolds, causing the first section 1 and the second section 2 to automatically separate. On the other hand, when the container 10 is closed, the first section 1 and the second section 1, 2 move towards each other, causing the statue 7 to become a flat compressed shape.

[0069] Figure 6a shows the insert 9 placed in the container 10, Figure 7 in the deployed state. As Figure 6b shown, the spacer 15 can be opened to receive an item by lifting the traction element 25 connected to the second section 2.

[0070] Similar to Figure 2, in Figure 7Shown is the insert 9 in the unfolded state. However, in this case, the deployable statue 7 has already been formed on the insert 9. The deployable statue 7 is produced here by a stamping / die-cutting process.

[0071] In Figure 8a the insert 9 in the folded state is shown from the upper side, and in Figure 7 the insert 9 in the configuration described here is shown from the lower side, and this configuration corresponds to the configuration when the top cover 12 of the container 10 has been opened, Figure 8b and the unfolding automatically occurs. Figure 7 whereby the top cover 12 is opened. Figure 7 The deployment automatically occurs.

[0072] Figure 9a Shown is the reinforcing strip 22 for inserting the top cover 12 along the connecting edge 6, Figure 9b and shown is the reinforcing strip 21 for also inserting the body 11 along the connecting edge 6. The situation of the strip in place can be seen from Figure 9c . In the reinforcing strip 22 for the top cover 12, a recess 23 is arranged through which a switch projects, and this switch interacts with the reinforcing strip 21 for the body 11 to activate or deactivate the component 8 for generating visual / audio effects when the top cover 12 is opened or closed.

[0073] Figure 10 Shown is an L-shaped insert, where the reinforcing strip 22 is part of the L-shaped insert. Inside the reinforcing strip 22, a groove or a second cutout 23 for accommodating the switch 30 is arranged. The electronic components of the container, such as the component 8 for generating visual / audio effects, the PCBA, are connected to the L-shaped insert.
