Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of jewelry box technology, and in particular to a hinge structure for a jewelry box. Background Technology

[0002] Jewelry boxes are used to store jewelry and can serve as storage containers, packaging, and gift boxes. The color of the jewelry box is usually matched to the color of the jewelry. Gold jewelry typically goes with red or gold boxes, or other warm-toned boxes. Platinum jewelry goes with cool-toned boxes. Jewelry boxes are constantly evolving, with some using mixed patterns and other innovative designs.

[0003] Jewelry boxes are not only for storing jewelry, but also for displaying and showcasing it; in fact, the jewelry box itself can be a beautiful work of art. The flip-top lid occupies a large portion of the jewelry box's appearance and can also serve special functions (such as storing photos or acting as a mirror). However, existing jewelry boxes generally have only a single flip-top, with only the outer surface for display, and this monotonous appearance can easily lead to aesthetic fatigue over time. Therefore, we propose a hinge structure for jewelry boxes. Utility Model Content

The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or foregoing drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order.

[0026] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Please see Figure 1-8A hinge structure for a jewelry box includes a first ball-and-socket joint 400 installed on the top edge of the jewelry box base 100 and a second ball-and-socket joint 404 fixedly connected to the edge of the jewelry box flap 200. The first ball-and-socket joint 400 has a first ball 401 internally mounted with damping, and the second ball-and-socket joint 404 has a second ball 403 internally mounted with damping. The first ball 401 and the second ball 403 are fixedly connected by a connecting ball 402. The jewelry box flap 200 can be rotated to close different sides of the jewelry box base 100. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The A and B sides of the jewelry box flip cover 200 can be set with different decorative structures (such as mirror, decorative surface, reflective surface decoration, etc.). When in use, after rotating the jewelry box flip cover 200 (180°), the A and B sides are switched to the top, which can show different display effects and better meet the needs of users.

[0030] It should be noted that a damping layer (rubber or silicone) is provided inside the sockets of both the first ball socket 400 and the second ball socket 404; or a damping medium is filled between the sphere (first sphere 401 or second sphere 403) and the socket to ensure the damping effect and ensure the stability of the jewelry box flip cover 200 when stopped at any angle.

[0031] In implementation, such as Figure 6 As shown, a permanent magnet 104 is embedded in the top of the jewelry box base 100, and iron sheets 201 that can be attracted by the permanent magnet 104 are fixedly connected to both sides of the jewelry box flap 200, with the permanent magnet 104 and the iron sheets 201 aligned. The magnetic attraction enhances the closing effect of the jewelry box flap 200.

[0032] Additionally, the top of the jewelry box base 100 is provided with a protrusion 105, and both sides of the jewelry box flap 200 are provided with grooves 202 that can engage with the protrusion 105. The protrusion 105 restricts misalignment between the jewelry box flap 200 and the jewelry box base 100 after the jewelry box flap 200 is closed.

[0033] In practice, both sides of the jewelry box flap 200 are designed as flat surfaces. This flat design prevents any protrusions from the surface of the jewelry box flap 200, thus avoiding any impact on the storage of jewelry inside the jewelry box base 100 during use.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] Unlike Embodiment 1, the jewelry box bottom 100 has a through hole 101 extending vertically on one side. Both ends of the through hole 101 have stepped openings 102, and one side of the through hole 101 has a notch 103. The first ball-and-socket component 400 is cylindrical (in practice, the stepped opening 102 can also be hexagonal, and the first ball-and-socket component 400 can be a hexagonal prism). A rotating shaft 501 is radially mounted in the center of the through hole 101 (the axial direction of the rotating shaft 501 is perpendicular to the direction of the notch 103). An elastic cord 500 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first ball-and-socket component 400, and one end of the elastic cord 500 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 501. The first ball-and-socket component 400 can be manually switched between the two stepped openings 102. The elastic cord 500 is a rubber cord.

[0036] In this embodiment, the jewelry box flap 200 can be switched from the top to the bottom of the jewelry box base 100, specifically as follows: Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown in the image, this elevates the bottom, making the top, without the jewelry box flap 200, more open and easier to display; and so on... Figure 8 As shown, when the jewelry box flap 200 is located at the bottom of the jewelry box base 100, it can also provide an angle, which makes it easier to tilt and display the jewelry inside the jewelry box base 100, making it more convenient.

[0037] Specifically, during the switching process, open the jewelry box flip cover 200, pull the jewelry box flip cover 200 to completely remove the first ball socket 400 from the stepped opening 102, then transfer the elastic cord 500 along the notch 103 to the bottom of the jewelry box 100, and then install the first ball socket 400 into the stepped opening 102 at the bottom of the jewelry box 100. Under the action of the elastic cord 500, the first ball socket 400 is tightly pulled to complete the switching; the switching is very convenient.

[0038] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. The accompanying drawings show preferred embodiments of this application, but do not limit the patent scope of this application. This application can be implemented in many different forms; rather, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosure of this application. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing specific embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
