Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a book-shaped gift box, and more particularly to a book-shaped gift box with a hidden handle. Background Technology
[0002] Book-shaped gift boxes typically consist of an inner box and a cover (i.e., a leather case). The cover of the outer case can be flipped to open or close the inner box. A flip-up front panel is attached to the front of the cover, and the front panel is magnetically attached to the outside of the front wall of the inner box by means of a magnetic assembly.
[0003] Currently, most book-shaped gift boxes on the market come with handles, but most of them are attached to the gift box with ribbons or tape. These gift boxes cannot hide the handles, and in order to expose the handles, it is necessary to make through holes in the cover (especially the front panel) for the handles to pass through. This way of making through holes not only affects the opening and closing of the front panel and cover, but also damages the appearance of the cover and increases the processing difficulty of the cover.
[0004] For example, Chinese utility model patent specification CN 204383897 U discloses a book-shaped box structure, which has a handle (i.e., a carrying handle) on the second side wall and a through hole on the side wall of the lid for the handle to pass through, so as to expose the handle. Since the handle passes through the side wall of the lid, it will be obstructed when the lid is opened and closed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a book-shaped gift box with a hidden handle, including an inner box and a cover installed outside the inner box. The cover includes a cover plate that flips relative to the inner box and an upper front plate connected to the front side of the cover plate. The upper front plate is magnetically attracted to the outer side of the front wall of the inner box. A handle is installed on the front wall of the inner box. The handle includes a fixed part and a movable part for the user to grip. The fixed part is fixedly installed on the front wall of the inner box. The movable part is in the shape of a thin sheet and flips relative to the fixed part between a folded state and a flipped-out state. When the movable part is in the folded state, it fits against the front wall of the inner box and is held between the front wall of the inner box and the upper front plate magnetically attracted to the front wall of the inner box, thus hiding the movable part inside the upper front plate. When the movable part is in the flipped-out state, it flips out of the upper front plate magnetically attracted to the front wall of the inner box for the user to grip.
[0006] This invention features a thin, sheet-like handle that can be folded and unfolded by flipping. When not in use, the handle can be concealed within the upper front panel, thus hiding it. When the handle is needed, it can be flipped outwards. The handle does not obstruct the opening and closing of the upper front panel and cover, and there is no need to create through holes in the upper front panel, avoiding increased processing difficulty for the outer shell.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, further illustrates the proposed solution.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 9 The book-shaped gift box with a hidden handle shown includes an inner box 10 and a cover 20 installed outside the inner box. The cover 20 includes a cover plate 201 that flips relative to the inner box 10 and an upper front plate 202 connected to the front side of the cover plate 201. In this embodiment, the upper front plate 202 can flip relative to the cover plate 201. The upper front plate 202 is magnetically attracted to the outside of the front wall 101 of the inner box. In this embodiment, the upper front plate 202 and the front wall 101 of the inner box are magnetically attracted to the front wall 101 of the inner box by setting a permanent magnet assembly (not shown in the figure). The front wall 101 of the inner box is equipped with a handle 30.
[0022] The handle 30 includes a fixed part 301 and a movable part 302 for the user to hold;
[0023] The fixing part 301 is fixedly installed on the front wall 101 of the inner box. The movable part 302 is in the shape of a thin sheet, and the movable part 302 flips relative to the fixing part 301 between a folded state and a flipped-out state.
[0024] When the movable part 302 is in the folded state, it fits against the front wall 101 of the inner box and is clamped between the front wall 101 of the inner box and the upper front plate 202 which is magnetically attracted to the front wall of the inner box, so that the movable part 302 is hidden inside the upper front plate 202.
[0025] When the movable part 302 is in the flipped-out state, it flips out from the upper front panel 202, which is magnetically attached to the front wall of the inner box, for the user to grip. This technical solution uses a thin, sheet-like movable handle that can be folded and unfolded by flipping. When the handle is not in use, it can be concealed within the upper front panel, thus hiding it. When the handle is needed, it can be flipped out. The handle does not obstruct the opening and closing of the upper front panel and cover, and there is no need to create through holes in the upper front panel, avoiding increased processing difficulty for the outer shell.
[0026] like Figure 6 As shown, first flip the upper front panel 202 upward to expose the movable part 302, at which time the movable part 302 is in a folded state;
[0027] Then flip the movable part 302 outward, as shown. Figure 7 As shown, the movable part 302 is flipped from the folded state to the unfolded state;
[0028] Finally, flip the front panel 202 downwards, as shown. Figure 8 As shown, the upper front panel 202 is magnetically attracted back to the front wall 101 of the inner box.
[0029] The outer shell 20 also includes a lower front plate 203, which is fixedly installed on the outside of the front wall 101 of the inner box. The lower front plate 203 is located below the upper front plate 202, which is magnetically attached to the front wall of the inner box. A gap 204 is provided between the lower front plate 203 and the upper front plate 202 for the movable part 302 in the flipped-out state to pass through. This technical solution is reasonably designed. The movable part of the handle passes through the upper and lower front plates through the gap between the lower and upper front plates, thereby eliminating the need to make holes in the upper or lower front plates for the movable part to pass through, and avoiding increasing the processing difficulty of the outer shell.
[0030] The handle 30 is located in the middle of the front wall 101 of the inner box.
[0031] The outer shell 20 also includes a bottom plate 205 and a back plate 206. The bottom plate 205 is fixedly installed under the bottom wall 102 of the inner box, and the back plate 206 is fixedly installed on the back wall 103 of the inner box. The front wall 101 of the inner box is opposite to the back wall 103 of the inner box.
[0032] The lower front plate 203, bottom plate 205, back plate 206, cover plate 201 and upper front plate 202 are connected in sequence.
[0033] The handle 30 is made of folded cardboard. Using paper material for the handle improves environmental friendliness compared to traditional handles made of ribbon, plastic, leather, wood, etc., and using folded cardboard can reduce production costs.
[0034] The cardboard, when unfolded, is in the shape of an "I", including a vertical part 303 in the middle, an upper left wing 304 located to the upper left of the vertical part 303, an upper right wing 305 located to the upper right of the vertical part 303, a lower left wing 306 located to the lower left of the vertical part 303, and a lower right wing 307 located to the lower right of the vertical part 303.
[0035] The vertical part 303 has a first broken line 308 parallel to the vertical part 303 in the middle;
[0036] The upper left wing 304 is provided with an upper left wing 309 at its end, and the upper left wing 304 and the upper left wing 309 are connected by a second fold line 310.
[0037] The upper right wing 305 is provided with an upper right wing 311 at its end, and the upper right wing 305 and the upper right wing 311 are connected by a third fold line 312.
[0038] The lower left wing 306 is provided with a lower left wing 313 at its end, and the lower left wing 306 and the lower left wing 313 are connected by a fourth broken line 314;
[0039] The lower right wing 307 is provided with a lower right wing 315 at its end, and the lower right wing 307 and the lower right wing 315 are connected by a fifth fold line 316.
[0040] The vertical part 303 is folded in half by the first fold line 308, so that the upper left wing 304 and the upper right wing 305 are attached together, and the lower left wing 306 and the lower right wing 307 are attached together. In this embodiment, the upper left wing and the upper right wing, and the lower left wing and the lower right wing can be glued and fixed together.
[0041] The upper left wing 309 is folded along the second fold line 310, and the upper right wing 311 is folded along the third fold line 312, wherein the folding directions of the upper left wing 309 and the upper right wing 311 are opposite.
[0042] The lower left wing 313 is folded along the fourth fold line 314, and the lower right wing 315 is folded along the fifth fold line 316, wherein the folding directions of the lower left wing 313 and the lower right wing 315 are opposite.
[0043] The upper left wing 309, upper right wing 311, lower left wing 313 and lower right wing 315 constitute the fixing part 301 of the handle;
[0044] The vertical part 303, upper left wing 304, upper right wing 305, lower left wing 306, and lower right wing 307 constitute the movable part 302 of the handle. This technical solution features a simple and rationally designed cardboard structure that is easy to fold. Furthermore, the upper left wing, upper right wing, lower left wing, and lower right wing can be used to form a fixing part, simplifying the structure.
[0045] The front wall 101 of the inner box is provided with a first through hole 104 for the upper left wing 304 and the upper right wing 305 to pass through. The upper left wing 309 and the upper right wing 311 are fixedly installed on the inner side of the front wall 101 of the inner box. In this embodiment, the upper left wing and the upper right wing can be glued and fixed to the inner side of the front wall of the inner box.
[0046] The front wall 101 of the inner box is also provided with a second through hole 105 for the lower left wing 306 and the lower right wing 307 to pass through. The lower left wing 313 and the lower right wing 315 are fixedly installed on the inner side of the front wall 101 of the inner box. In this embodiment, the lower left wing and the lower right wing can be glued to the inner side of the front wall of the inner box. This technical solution arranges the upper left wing, upper right wing, lower left wing, and lower right wing (i.e., the fixing part) on the inner side of the front wall of the inner box, avoiding the fixing part from occupying the space on the outer side of the front wall of the inner box and avoiding obstruction of the fitting of the upper front panel with the outer side of the front wall of the inner box.
