[0006] Patent Document 2: Utility Model Registration No. 3050705 Summary of the Invention

[0007] Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0008] A photograph can record the scene at that time. If you look at the photograph, you can recall the scene at that time. If the scene of purchasing jewelry is captured in a photograph, women can feel the joy of that moment whenever they look at the photo. However, in an era where photos can be easily taken with a smartphone as they are now, the image of the photo is buried by a large amount of image data. Therefore, the opportunity to recall the joy of receiving a gift is lost.

[0009] The object of the present invention is to provide a product packaging box that can create an opportunity to recall the joy of receiving a gift.

[0010] Means for solving the problem

[0011] According to one aspect of the present invention, a product packaging box is provided, comprising: a lower box body; an upper box body that is hinged and freely openable and closable to the lower box body, and having a recess defined on its upper surface; a transparent sheet that is fixed within the recess in a manner matching the contour of the recess, covering an instant film disposed within the recess; and an enclosure having a wall that rises from a horizontal plane containing the front side of the sheet in a manner matching the contour of the recess and surrounds the space on the front side of the sheet.

[0012] The instant film can develop the purchase scene on the spot. A transparent sheet covers the instant film within the recess. The sheet is fixed within the recess, serving to hold the instant film within the recess. This allows the photograph to be easily mounted on the product packaging box. The observer can enjoy the image of the instant film through the transparent sheet. Thus, the product packaging box can create an opportunity to recall the emotions of the purchase. The product packaging box can evoke memories of, for example, the joy of receiving a gift.

[0013] Here, the space on the front of the sheet is surrounded by a surrounding member that matches the contour of the recess. The surrounding member forms a tray on the upper surface of the upper box. Small items such as jewelry can be placed on the sheet. The surrounding member helps hold these small items on the sheet. Because such a tray is used daily, the owner of the product can frequently see the image of the instant film.The emotions experienced at the time of purchase can be strongly imprinted in the owner's memory. Observers of the product packaging box can strongly implant an impression of the product. Instruction manual 1 / 11 page 3 CN 121099931 A

[0014] The product packaging box may also have an auxiliary plate that overlaps the lower surface of the plate from below and is combined with the plate, holding the instant film between the auxiliary plate and the plate. The plate and the auxiliary plate can be removed integrally from the upper box body. The plate and the auxiliary plate can function as a frame for the instant film. The owner of the product can separate the instant film from the product packaging box and decorate it individually in their favorite place. In this way, the owner can enjoy the image of the instant film in their favorite place.

[0015] Moreover, the product packaging box may also have: a magnetic body fixed to the upper box body and disposed below the auxiliary plate; and a magnet fixed to the auxiliary plate, fixed to the magnetic body based on magnetic force, and fixing the instant film in the recess. By the action of magnetic force, the auxiliary plate can be fixed in the recess. The picture frame formed by the auxiliary plate and the plate can be well held in the recess regardless of the opening and closing of the upper box. Since the magnet is mounted on the auxiliary plate, the picture frame can be easily pasted onto the surface of the refrigerator, etc.

[0016] In addition, the product packaging box may also have: a magnet fixed to the plate; a first magnetic body fixed to the auxiliary plate, which is fixed to the magnet based on the magnetic force of the magnet, and the auxiliary plate is fixed to the plate; and a second magnetic body fixed to the upper box, disposed below the first magnetic body. The auxiliary plate is fixed to the lower surface of the plate by the action of magnetic force. An instant film is sandwiched between the plate and the auxiliary plate overlapping the plate. The magnetic force of the magnet acts on the second magnetic body via the first magnetic body. In this way, the plate and the auxiliary plate can be fixed in the recess by the action of magnetic force. The picture frame formed by the auxiliary plate and the plate can be well held in the recess regardless of the opening and closing of the upper box. Since the first magnetic body exerts magnetic force, the picture frame can be easily pasted onto the surface of the refrigerator, etc. The magnet and the first magnetic body can also be replaced in the plate and the auxiliary plate.

[0017] Alternatively, the recess may define a space adjacent to the outer periphery of the sheet material and open inside the enclosure. The space adjacent to the outer periphery of the sheet material is open inside the enclosure. This allows access to the outer periphery of the sheet material from this space. By applying external force to the outer periphery of the sheet material, the sheet material can be easily lifted from the recess. The sheet material can be easily removed from the upper casing. That is, replacement or removal of the film can be easily achieved.

[0035] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] FIG1 schematically shows a product packaging unit according to an embodiment of the present invention. The product packaging unit 101 has an outer box 102. The outer box 102 is formed by a lower outer box 103 and an upper outer box 104 covering the lower outer box 103 from above. As shown in Figure 2, the lower outer box 103 is composed of a quadrilateral-shaped base plate 103a and four side plates 103b that rise vertically from the four sides of the base plate 103a. A cuboid storage space is divided inside the lower outer box 103. The inner box (product packaging box) 11 is stored in the storage space. The base plate 103a and the side plates 103b are each formed from flat cardboard. The base plate 103a and the side plates 103b are joined together at the edges. The lower outer box 103 has a seamless and continuous appearance at the edges.

[0037] The upper outer box 104 is composed of a quadrilateral-shaped top plate 104a and four side plates 104b that descend vertically from the four sides of the top plate 104a. The top plate 104a is supported on the upper end of the side plates 103b of the lower outer box 103 and blocks the opening 105 of the lower outer box 103 surrounded by the side plates 103b. The side panel 104b of the upper outer box 104 surrounds the side panel 103b of the lower outer box 103. The top panel 104a and the side panels 104b are each formed of flat cardboard. The top panel 104a and the side panels 104b are joined together at the edges. The upper surface of the upper outer box 104 can be printed with, for example, the logo of the seller or manufacturer. The upper outer box 104 has a seamless, continuous appearance at the edges.The upper outer box 104 is entirely opaque. Alternatively, the top plate 104a can also be made of transparent resin material.

[0038] As shown in FIG3, the inner box 11 has a lower box body 12 and an upper box body 13 that overlaps with the lower box body 12 and together forms a cuboid. The lower box body 12 has: a rigid resin molded body having a base plate 14a with a quadrilateral outline and four side walls 14b vertically rising from the four sides of the base plate 14a; and a sticker 15, which is pasted onto the outer surface of the resin molded body to decorate it. The upper housing 13 has a rigid resin molded body and a sticker 17. The rigid resin molded body has: a top plate 16a, which receives the sheet 62 through a quadrilateral recess 61; and a side wall 16b, which descends from the four sides of the top plate 16a and mates with the upper end of the side wall 14b of the lower housing 12 at its lower end to form the side wall of the inner housing 11. The sticker 17 is pasted on the outer surface of the resin molded body to decorate it. The stickers 15 and 17 can be, for example, resin sheets with a velvet style or fabric pattern. The sticker 17 covers the inner surface of the recess 61. The inner surface of the recess 61 is neatly prepared by the sticker 17.

[0039] The sheet 62 is fixed in the recess 61 by matching the contour of the recess 61. The sheet 62 is embedded in the recess 61. When embedded, the sheet 62 contacts the inner wall surface of the recess 61, for example, at its upper and lower edges in plan view. The upper and lower edges (or either one) in a top-down view position the sheet 62. The sheet 62 can be, for example, made of a transparent, rigid acrylic sheet. A flat surface 63 is defined on the front of the sheet 62. A space on the flat surface 63 is surrounded by a surround 64. The surround 64 has a wall 64a that rises from the horizontal plane containing the flat surface 63, matching the contour of the recess 61. At each side of the contour, the wall 64a is continuous from the inner wall of the recess 61 in a vertical plane. The wall 64a guides the descent of the sheet 62 in the vertical direction. Thus, the sheet 62 and the surround 64 cooperate on the upper surface of the upper housing 13 to form a tray. The sheet 62 constitutes the entire bottom plate of the tray. Here, the recess 61 defines a space 65 adjacent to the outer periphery of the sheet 62 and open inside the surround 64. The space 65 is located outside the left and right edges in a top-down view. The space 65 can also be located on either the left or right edge. Space 65 is an opening of a size designed to prevent small items from falling when used as a tray.

[0040] As shown in FIG4, sheet 62 covers the display film 66 disposed in the recess 61. The lower surface of sheet 62 overlaps with the upper surface of display film 66. When viewed from above, display film 66 is disposed entirely under sheet 62. When viewed from above, a first decorative element 67a is fixed to sheet 62 at a position offset upward from display film 66. The first decorative element 67a is printed in a strip on flat surface 63, for example, parallel to the upper edge when viewed from above.The first decorative element 67a uses, for example, opaque ink. Similarly, the second decorative element 67b is fixed to the plate 62 at a position offset downward from the visible film 66 when viewed from above. The second decorative element 67b is printed in a strip shape on the flat surface 63, for example, parallel to the lower edge when viewed from above. The second decorative element 67b uses, for example, opaque ink.

[0041] As shown in FIG5, in the lower housing 12, a cushioning material 18 is embedded in the space of the cuboid surrounded by the side wall 14b. The cushioning material 18 is formed, for example, from a sponge and a fabric 18a covering the sponge. A slit 19 is formed in the cushioning material 18. A ring (jewelry) 21 is inserted, for example, into the slit 19. The ring 21 is held in the slit 19 by the elasticity of the cushioning material 18.

[0042] The ring 21 has, for example, a platinum ring member 22 with a diameter corresponding to the thickness of the finger and a diamond bead 23 fixed to the base of the ring member 22. There may be one or more diamond beads 23. The diamond particles 23 have strong or higher blue fluorescence (strong blue or very strong blue). The diamond particles 23 emit a transparent glow under visible light (e.g., natural light or electric light), and on the other hand, emit a blue glow under ultraviolet light. Thus, the diamond particles 23 are supported by the lower housing 12. When multiple diamond particles 23 are configured, the blue fluorescence of all (or each group of diamond particles 23 in the design) diamond particles 23 can be uniformly strong blue or very strong blue.

[0043] A lining material 24 is embedded in the cuboid space of the upper housing 13 enclosed by the side walls 16b. The lining material 24 has: a cosmetic top plate 24a with a quadrilateral profile, which forms the top surface of the inner housing 11; and four lining plates 24b, which are continuous from the four sides of the cosmetic top plate 24a and overlap the four side walls 16b from the inside. Here, the four inner lining plates 24b are not adhered to the inner surface of the side wall 16b, and the inner lining material 24 is easily stored in the upper box 13.

[0044] As shown in FIG6, the upper box 13 is freely connected to the lower box 12 by a hinge 26. The hinge 26 has: a first blade 27, which is fixed to the side wall 16b of the upper box 13 from the inside and has a plurality of tubes 27a; a second blade 28, which is fixed to the side wall 14b of the lower box 12 from the inside and has a plurality of tubes 28a arranged in series with the tubes 27a of the first blade 27; and a hinge pin 29, which is inserted into the tubes 27a of the first blade 27 and the tubes 28a of the second blade 28. The first blade 27 and the second blade 28 rotate relative to each other about the hinge pin 29. The central axis of the hinge pin 29 is equivalent to the rotation axis of the upper box 13 when opening and closing.

[0045] A leaf spring 31 is connected to the hinge 26. As shown in FIG7, the leaf spring 31 is formed as a curved body that maintains the generatrix parallel to the axis of the hinge pin 29. The two ends of the leaf spring 31 are engaged with the first leaf 27 and the second leaf 28 respectively at positions away from the hinge pin 29.In the closed position, where the lower end of the upper housing 13 aligns with the upper end of the lower housing 12, the first leaf 27 and the second leaf 28 are arranged along one surface, and the middle region of the leaf spring 31 is furthest inward from the hinge pin 29. As the upper housing 13 moves from the closed position to the open position around the hinge pin 29, the angle between the first leaf 27 and the second leaf 28 on the outer side narrows, and the middle region of the leaf spring 31 approaches the hinge pin 29. As shown in Figure 8, when the middle region of the leaf spring 31 contacts the hinge pin 29, the displacement of the upper housing 13 relative to the lower housing 12 around the hinge pin 29 is restricted, and the open position of the upper housing 13 is defined. When the opening around the hinge pin 29 is less than the defined intermediate opening, the leaf spring 31 exerts a driving force on the upper housing 13 toward the closed position. When the opening is greater than the defined intermediate opening, the leaf spring 31 exerts a driving force on the upper housing 13 toward the open position. The hinge 26 and the leaf spring 31 are covered by the hinge cover 32. The hinge cover 32 is formed, for example, of the same material as the fabric 18a of the cushioning material 18.

[0046] An LED lamp (light source) 33 emitting ultraviolet light according to a predetermined direction Dv is embedded in the cosmetic top plate 24a of the upper housing 13. The LED lamp 33 emits long-wavelength UV-A light (preferably wavelengths of 395nm to 405nm). Preferably, the LED lamp 33 emits only light other than visible light. Preferably, the LED lamp 33 has a narrow direction Dv. The LED lamp 33 has a direction Dv that is blocked by the lower housing 12 throughout the irradiation area.

[0047] The LED lamp 33 is connected to a battery 35. The battery 35 is housed in a battery compartment 34 divided between the top plate 16a and the cosmetic top plate 24a of the resin molded body. The battery 35 can be, for example, a thin button cell battery. Here, for example, multiple button cells are connected in series. Current is supplied from the battery 35 to the LED lamp 33. Instruction manual 4 / 11 pages 6 CN 121099931 A

[0048] A switch 36 for controlling the supply and cut-off of current to the LED lamp 33 is assembled on the hinge 26 and the leaf spring 31. In the middle region of the leaf spring 31, a first contact 37 is fixed in an electrically insulated manner from the leaf spring 31. The hinge 26 and the first contact 37 cooperate to function as a second contact constituting the switch 36. Therefore, the hinge 26 is formed of a conductive material. The first contact 37 is formed of a conductive material such as copper. An insulator is sandwiched between the first contact 37 and the leaf spring 31, for example. The first contact 37 is disposed on the surface of the leaf spring 31 opposite to the hinge pin 29. The first contact 37 contacts the hinge 26 in the open position of the upper housing 13 and separates from the hinge 26 outside the open position.

[0049] As shown in FIG7, the auxiliary plate 68 overlaps the lower surface of the plate 62 from below. The auxiliary plate 68 is combined with the plate 62, while the display film 66 is held between the auxiliary plate 68 and the plate 62. The display film 66 is sandwiched between the plate 62 and the auxiliary plate 68.The auxiliary plate 68 can be formed of a transparent material, similar to the plate 62, or it can be formed of an opaque material. The auxiliary plate 68 has a contour that overlaps with the contour of the plate 62.

[0050] A first fragrance 69a is sandwiched between the plate 62 and the auxiliary plate 68 at a position offset upward from the instant film 66 when viewed from above. The first fragrance 69a extends in a strip shape, for example, parallel to the upper edge when viewed from above. The first fragrance 69a can be, for example, composed of a strip of paper and perfume permeating the paper. When viewed from above, a first decorative body 67a covers the first fragrance 69a. The first fragrance 69a is obscured by the first decorative body 67a. Similarly, a second fragrance 69b is sandwiched between the plate 62 and the auxiliary plate 68 at a position offset downward from the instant film 66 when viewed from above. The second fragrance 69b extends in a strip shape, for example, parallel to the lower edge when viewed from above. The second fragrance 69b can be, for example, composed of a strip of paper and perfume permeating the paper. When viewed from above, the second decorative element 67b covers the second fragrance 69b. The second fragrance 69b is obscured by the second decorative element 67b.

[0051] On the auxiliary plate 68, openings 72 are formed at positions corresponding to the first fragrance 69a and the second fragrance 69b, respectively. The openings 72 penetrate the auxiliary plate 68 in the vertical direction. The first fragrance 69a and the second fragrance 69b are exposed at their respective openings 72. Each opening 72 is connected to a recess 61 that contacts the lower surface of the auxiliary plate 68. The aroma components of the first fragrance 69a and the second fragrance 69b can leak from the openings 72 into the recess 61.

[0052] As shown in FIG9, a magnet 73 is fixed to the plate 62. The magnet 73 is, for example, embedded in the lower surface of the plate 62. When viewed from above, the first decorative element 67a and the second decorative element 67b cover the corresponding magnet 73, respectively. Either magnet 73 is obscured by the first decorative element 67a or the second decorative element 67b. No magnet 73 can be visually identified from the flat surface 63. Here, for example, if the magnet 73 is made of a transparent material, the first decorative body 67a and the second decorative body 67b can be omitted. Alternatively, an opaque decoration can be implemented by retaining a transparent window on the lower surface of the plate 62. When applying the decoration, printing or vapor deposition can be used. The window can, for example, mimic the outline of the image of the instant film 66. The image can be viewed through the window. Perspective is blocked around the window. The magnet 73 can be blocked.

[0053] A first magnetic body 74 is fixed to the auxiliary plate 68 based on the magnetic force of the magnet 73. The first magnetic body 74 is, for example, embedded in the upper surface of the auxiliary plate 68. The first magnetic body 74 only needs to have an outline that overlaps with the magnet 73 when the plate 62 and the auxiliary plate 68 overlap. The auxiliary plate 68 is fixed to the lower surface of the plate 62 by the action of magnetic force. The instant film 66 is sandwiched between the plate 62 and the auxiliary plate 68 overlapping the plate 62. A magnet can also be used instead of the first magnetic body 74.At this time, the magnet of the auxiliary plate 68 can be aligned with the magnet 73 with opposite magnetic poles to the magnet 73 of the plate 62. The magnet 73 and the first magnetic body 74 can also be replaced in the plate 62 and the auxiliary plate 68.

[0054] A second magnetic body 75 is fixed to the upper housing 13. The second magnetic body 75 is disposed below each of the first magnetic bodies 74. The magnetic force of the magnet 73 acts on the second magnetic body 75 via the first magnetic body 74. Thus, by the action of the magnetic force, the plate 62 and the auxiliary plate 68 can be fixed in the recess 61. The second magnetic body 75 protrudes from the horizontal plane 76. The second magnetic body 75 supports the auxiliary plate 68 in a position away from the horizontal plane 76 in the vertical direction. Thus, a space connected to the opening 72 is defined between the horizontal plane 76 and the auxiliary plate 68. The opening 72 can be connected to the space 65. Here, a magnetic iron can also be used instead of the second magnetic body 75. (See page 5 / 11 of the instruction manual, CN 121099931 A) At this time, the magnet of the upper housing 13 can be aligned with the magnet with the opposite magnetic pole of the magnet of the auxiliary plate 68.

[0055] As shown in FIG10, in the inner housing 11, a light illumination circuit 38 including an LED lamp 33, a battery 35 and a switch 36 is constructed. In the light illumination circuit 38, the LED element of the LED lamp 33 is connected in series with the battery 35. A timer timed normally open contact (hereinafter referred to as "timer contact") 39 is connected in series with the LED lamp 33. The switch 36 and the timer 41 are connected in parallel with the LED lamp 33 and the timer contact 39. When the switch 36 is turned on, the timer 41 is activated, and after a predetermined time (hereinafter referred to as "first time"), the timer contact 39 is closed. As a result, the LED lamp 33 is powered on. When the switch 36 is turned off, the timer 41 is restored, and the timer contact 39 is turned off. As a result, the LED lamp 33 is turned off.

[0056] As shown in FIG11, a sound reproduction unit 45 for reproducing the recorded sound is assembled in the inner housing 11. The sound reproduction unit 45 has a sound circuit 48 that receives sound signals from the microphone 46 and supplies sound signals to the speaker 47. A battery 35 is connected to the sound circuit 48. The sound circuit 48 operates by receiving voltage from the battery 35.

[0057] The microphone 46 detects sound-based air vibrations and converts them into sound signals (electrical signals). The generated sound signals are recorded, for example, in a memory 49. The memory 49 can be, for example, an EEPROM. The memory 49 can be a memory that allows only one write of the sound signal. The microphone 46 is supported by an upper housing 13 or a lower housing 12. Here, for example, the microphone 46 is housed in a space divided between the top plate 16a and the cosmetic top plate 24a. It is also possible that the top plate 16a and the cosmetic top plate 24a have through holes that are configured corresponding to the position of the microphone 46 and connect the external air to the microphone 46.

[0058] The speaker 47 generates air vibrations based on the sound signals and reproduces the corresponding sound.The reproduced sound stimulates the observer's hearing. Thus, the observer can hear the sound. The speaker 47 is supported on the upper housing 13 or the lower housing 12. Here, for example, the speaker 47 is housed in the space divided between the top plate 16a and the cosmetic top plate 24a. It is also possible that the top plate 16a and the cosmetic top plate 24a have through holes that are arranged corresponding to the position of the speaker 47 and connect the external air to the speaker 47.

[0059] A retention circuit 51 is connected to the sound reproduction unit 45. The retention circuit 51 retains the sound reproduction from the start of ultraviolet irradiation until a predetermined time (hereinafter referred to as "second time") has elapsed. The retention circuit 51 connects the switch 36 to the sound circuit 48. The battery 35 and the switch 36 are shared in the sound circuit 48 and the light irradiation circuit 38. The retention circuit 51 starts timing from the turn-on of the switch 36 (first time + second time). Here, if a predetermined second time has elapsed since the start of ultraviolet irradiation, the sound circuit 48 retrieves the sound signal from the memory 49 and supplies it to the speaker 47.

[0060] A recording switch 52 is connected to the sound circuit 48. When the recording switch 52 is turned on, the sound circuit 48 obtains a sound signal from the microphone 46 and stores the sound signal in the memory 49. As shown in FIG12, the button of the recording switch 52 can be provided on the inner wall of the upper housing 13. Here, the recording switch 52 is turned on as long as the button is continuously pressed. When the button is released from the pressing operation, the recording switch 52 is turned off. By configuring the button inside the upper housing 13, the recording switch 52 can be protected from accidental operation simply by keeping the upper housing 13 in the closed position. The upper housing 13 functions as a protective body to protect the recording switch 52 from objects outside the structure of the inner housing 11. In this way, unwanted sound recording can be prevented (based on the elimination of covered sound). In addition, the recording switch 52 can also be linked to the on / off state of the switch 36. As a result, when the recording switch 52 is operated with the upper housing 13 in the open position, sound can be recorded into the memory 49.

[0061] The LED light 33, timer contact 39, timer 41, sound circuit 48, memory 49, and retention circuit 51 can also be mounted on a common printed circuit board, for example. The first contact 37 of switch 36, the first leaf 27 or the second leaf 28 of hinge 26, battery 35, microphone 46, speaker 47, etc., can be electrically connected to the wiring pattern on the printed circuit board, for example, via wires such as vinyl-coated wires. The printed circuit board can be housed, for example, in battery compartment 34.

[0062] Next, the function of inner box 11 will be explained. As shown in FIG3, when upper box 13 is in the closed position, the lower edge of upper box 13 is aligned with the upper edge of lower box 12. Upper box 13 covers ring 21 and obscures diamond grain 23. The appearance of the closed inner box 11 is visually confirmed by the observer of inner box 11. Diamond grain 23 is out of the observer's field of vision.Instruction manual, page 6 / 11, CN 121099931 A

[0063] At this time, as shown in FIG7, the middle area of ​​the leaf spring 31 is furthest from the hinge pin 29. Therefore, the first contact 37 of the switch 36 leaves the hinge 26, i.e., the second contact. The switch 36 is turned off. The LED light 33 remains off. The operation of the sound circuit 48 is maintained in a stopped state.

[0064] When the observer moves the upper housing 13 toward the open position by overcoming the elastic force of the leaf spring 31 around the hinge pin 29, the lower end of the upper housing 13 leaves the upper end of the lower housing 12. Visible light shines into the diamond grain 23 from the gap between the upper housing 13 and the lower housing 12. The diamond grain 23 is gradually exposed. The diamond grain 23 is exposed to the illumination of visible light. Therefore, the diamond grain 23 emits a transparent glow.

[0065] When the opening of the upper housing 13 is greater than the predetermined intermediate opening, the leaf spring 31 drives the upper housing 13 toward the open position. As a result, the upper housing 13 reaches the open position with the maximum opening. According to the elastic force of the leaf spring 31, the upper housing 13 is held in the open position with the maximum opening. The flat surface 63 of the upper housing 13 is located at a higher position the further away from the axis of rotation. As shown in FIG5, the observer can visually confirm the diamond grain 23 without being obstructed by the upper housing 13. The diamond grain 23 emits a transparent glow under visible light (natural light or electric light).

[0066] When the upper housing 13 reaches the open position, as shown in FIG8, the middle area of ​​the leaf spring 31 is pressed against the hinge pin 29 by the elastic force of the leaf spring 31. Thus, the first contact 37 contacts the hinge 26, i.e., the second contact. The switch 36 is turned on. When a first time has elapsed since the switch 36 is turned on (connected action), the LED light 33 is lit. LED light 33 begins to irradiate the diamond particles 23 with ultraviolet light. The diamond particles 23 emit blue light.

[0067] After the upper housing 13 is opened, the diamond particles 23 are observed to shine as transparent, and then the diamond particles 23 change from transparent to blue. Thus, a light performance effect is produced according to the opening action of the upper housing 13. The leaf spring 31 exerts a driving force to keep the upper housing 13 in the open position, thus preventing the diamond particles 23 from changing color in the middle position between the closed and open positions, and the observer can reliably witness the color change of the diamond particles 23.

[0068] When a second time has elapsed since the start of ultraviolet irradiation, the sound circuit 48 reproduces the recorded sound. For example, if it is a gift, the voice of the giver (e.g., "Please get married" or "Let's be together from now on") can be delivered to the observer. The sound reproduction is delayed due to the visual effect of the diamond particles 23, so the visual effect of the diamond particles 23 and the sound performance effect act on the observer in sequence. An observer is able to perceive the auditory effects of sound (including speech processing) after being aware of the visual effects of the diamond grain 23. The performance effects of sound are superimposed on the visual effects.According to the inventors, since multiple senses cannot be perceived simultaneously, the reproduction of sound is staggered from the visual effects, unlike situations where sound and visual effects occur simultaneously, thereby enhancing the superimposed effect of sight and sound. Through this performance effect, the observer in the inner box 11 can experience emotions that others cannot feel.

[0069] When the switch 36 is turned off, the LED light 33 goes out. The sound circuit 48 stops supplying the sound signal. The reproduction of the sound ends.

[0070] Before the gift is given, the giver's voice is pre-recorded in the inner box 11. During recording, the upper box 13 is in the open position. The giver presses the recording switch 52 while speaking into the microphone 46 (e.g., "Please get married" or "Let's be together from now on"). The sound circuit 48 operates according to the conduction of the recording switch 52. The sound is converted into a sound signal by the microphone 46. The sound signal is stored in the memory 49. When the finger leaves the button of the recording switch 52, the recording of the sound ends.

[0071] Here, the fabric 18a of the cushioning material 18 can be colored in a color such as black or dark navy blue. With such coloring, even if visible light adjacent to the ultraviolet region is subtly mixed into the light from the LED lamp 33, the visible light illuminating the fabric 18a will not be noticeable. The light from the LED lamp 33 can be excluded from the observer's vision.

[0072] For example, in a jewelry store, the scene of the purchase can be photographed using an instant camera. In the instant film 66, the scene of the purchase instruction manual (page 7 / 11, CN 121099931 A) can be developed on the spot. A transparent sheet 62 covers the instant film 66 within the recess 61. The sheet 62 is fixed within the recess 61, thus holding the instant film 66 within the recess 61. In this way, the photograph can be easily mounted in the inner case 11. The observer can enjoy the image of the instant film 66 through the transparent sheet 62. The owner of the ring 21 can see the image of the instant film 66 each time the inner case 11 is removed. In this way, the product packaging unit 101 can create an opportunity to recall the feelings at the time of purchase. One can recall the joy of receiving a gift, for example, using the product packaging unit 101 as an opportunity. Here, the instant film 66 can be stored in the dark inside the opaque upper outer box 104. Since exposure to sunlight is avoided, the degradation of the instant film 66 (image) can be suppressed.

[0073] The space on the front of the sheet 62 is surrounded by the surround 64, consistent with the contour of the recess 61. Through the action of the surround 64, a tray can be formed on the upper surface of the upper box 13. Small items such as rings 21 and keychains can be placed on the sheet 62. Through the action of the surround 64, small items can be held on the sheet 62. Since such a tray is used daily, the owner of the ring 21 can frequently see the image on the instant film 66. The feelings at the time of purchase can be strongly imprinted in the owner's memory.The image of the ring 21, the brand, and the jewelry store at the time of purchase can be strongly implanted in the observer of the inner box 11. In particular, if the tray is shared by a man and a woman (couple), the image of the instant film 66 can be used to evoke the feelings of giving the gift. The image of the instant film 66 can help maintain a close and harmonious relationship.

[0074] The auxiliary plate 68 is fixed to the lower surface of the plate 62 by the magnetic force of the magnet 73. The instant film 66 is sandwiched between the plate 62 and the auxiliary plate 68 overlapping the plate 62. Since the plate 62 and the auxiliary plate 68 can separate against the magnetic force, the instant film 66 can be easily replaced in the frame formed by the plate 62 and the auxiliary plate 68. The magnetic force of the magnet 73 acts on the second magnetic body 75 through the first magnetic body 74. In this way, the plate 62 and the auxiliary plate 68 can be fixed in the recess 61 by the action of the magnetic force. The picture frame formed by the auxiliary plate 68 and the plate 62 can be well held in the recess 61 regardless of the opening and closing of the upper box 13. Since the first magnetic body 74 exerts magnetic force under the influence of the magnet 73, the picture frame can be easily pasted onto the surface of the refrigerator, etc. When fixing the auxiliary plate 68, a recess for receiving the instant film 66 can also be formed in the plate 62. The auxiliary plate 68 can be embedded into the recess of the plate 62. In this way, the instant film 66 can be held by the plate 62 and the auxiliary plate 68. In addition, the magnet 73 and the first magnetic body 74 can be interchanged in the plate 62 and the auxiliary plate 68.

[0075] In this embodiment, the recess 61 divides a space 65 adjacent to the outer periphery of the plate 62 and open inside the surrounding member 64. The space 65 adjacent to the outer periphery of the plate 62 inside the surrounding member 64 is open. It is possible to approach the outer periphery of the plate 62 from this space 65. By applying an external force to the outer periphery of the plate 62, the plate 62 can be easily lifted from the recess 61. The plate 62 can be easily removed from the upper housing 13. This allows for easy replacement or removal of the film 66. The space 65 extends narrowly along the left and right edges of the plate 62, for example, it can be sized to accept the insertion of a ring 21. In this case, when removing the plate 62 and the auxiliary plate 68, a tool made of a rigid body can be inserted into the space 65. The space 65 can also be sized so that a fingertip can reach the auxiliary plate 68.

[0076] In this embodiment, a first fragrance 69a and a second fragrance 69b are sandwiched between the plate 62 and the auxiliary plate 68. The aroma components of the first fragrance 69a and the second fragrance 69b leak from the opening 72 of the auxiliary plate 68 into the recessed space 61. The aroma components can diffuse from the space 65 above the upper housing 13 through the lower part of the auxiliary plate 68. This allows fragrance to be released around the inner housing 11. If the brand-specific fragrance of ring 21 and the inherent fragrance of the jewelry store are used, the impression of ring 21, the brand, and the jewelry store at the time of purchase can be strongly implanted in the observer of the inner box 11.

[0077] In this embodiment, the inner case 11 displays the color change of the diamond grains 23 from transparent to blue fluorescent. The owner of the ring 21 uses the inner case 11 while enjoying the color change of the diamond grains 23. In this way, the inner case 11 is continuously kept together with the ring 21. The opportunity to remove the inner case 11 is increased. The opportunity to see the image on the instant film 66 is increased. In general products, the packaging box is often discarded when the product is first used. Specification 8 / 11 pages 10 CN 121099931 A

[0078] Similarly, the inner case 11 of this embodiment reproduces the recorded sound. This achieves a sound performance effect, so the owner of the ring 21 does not discard the inner case 11 but keeps it and enjoys the sound performance effect. In this way, the inner case 11 is continuously kept together with the ring 21. The opportunity to remove the inner case 11 is further increased. The opportunity to see the image on the instant film 66 is further increased.

[0079] As shown in FIG. 13, a magnetic body 78 fixedly disposed below the auxiliary plate 68 in the upper housing 13 may be used instead of the second magnetic body 75. The magnetic body 78, for example, contacts the inner wall surface of the recess 61 at its upper and lower edges when viewed from above. The magnetic body 78 may be made of a stainless steel plate extending to the contour of the recess 61. In this case, the auxiliary plate 68 is formed of an opaque material. The auxiliary plate 68 covers the entire surface of the horizontal plane 76 defined by the magnetic body 78. At this time, a magnet 79 is fixed to the magnetic body 78 based on magnetic force on the auxiliary plate 68. The magnet 79 is fixed within the recess 61 to the film 66. The magnet 79 supports the auxiliary plate 68 at a position separated from the horizontal plane 76 in the vertical direction. In this way, a space connected to the opening 72 is defined between the horizontal plane 76 and the auxiliary plate 68. The opening 72 can be connected to the space 65. By the action of magnetic force, the auxiliary plate 68 can be fixed within the recess 61. The picture frame formed by the auxiliary plate 68 and the plate 62 can be well held in the recess 61 regardless of the opening and closing of the upper box 13. Since the magnet 79 is mounted on the auxiliary plate 68, the picture frame can be easily pasted onto the surface of the refrigerator, etc. The magnetic body 78 can also completely cover the bottom of the recess 61. In this case, the magnetic body 78 can also be covered by the sticker 17 that extends uninterruptedly to the outline of the recess 61 and extends within the space 65. The bottom of the space 65 can be visually prepared by the sticker 17.

[0080] FIG14 schematically shows the structure of the upper box 13 of the second embodiment. The plate 62 is fixed in the recess 61 by matching the outline of the recess 61. The plate 62 contacts the inner wall surface of the recess 61, for example, at the upper and lower edges in top view. The plate 62 can be made of, for example, a transparent rigid acrylic plate. The front of the plate 62 divides into a flat surface 63. The space on the flat surface 63 is surrounded by a surrounding member 64. The surrounding member 64 has a wall surface 64a that rises from a horizontal plane containing a flat surface 63 in a manner that matches the contour of the recess 61. At each side of the contour, the wall surface 64a is continuous from the inner wall surface of the recess 61 in a vertical plane.The wall surface 64a can guide the descent of the plate 62 in the vertical direction. Thus, the plate 62 and the surrounding member 64 cooperate on the upper surface of the upper housing 13 to form a tray. The recess 61, as described above, divides a space 65 adjacent to the outer periphery of the plate 62 and open inside the surrounding member 64. The space 65 is positioned outside the left and right edges when viewed from above.

[0081] A display film 66 overlaps the bottom of the recess 61. The bottom of the recess 61 forms a horizontal surface 76 separated by the contour of the recess 61. The plate 62 covers the display film 66. At this time, a magnet 73 is fixed to the plate 62. The magnet 73 is, for example, embedded in the lower surface of the plate 62. When viewed from above, the first decorative body 67a and the second decorative body 67b respectively cover the corresponding magnet 73. Either magnet 73 is obscured by either the first decorative body 67a or the second decorative body 67b. Neither magnet 73 is visually identifiable from the flat surface 63. Here, for example, if the magnet 73 is made of a transparent material, the first decorative body 67a and the second decorative body 67b can be omitted. On the other hand, a magnetic body 81 is fixed to the upper housing 13. The magnetic body 81 is disposed below each magnet 73. The magnetic force of the magnet 73 acts on the magnetic body 81. In this way, the plate 62 can be fixed in the recess 61 by the action of the magnetic force. Here, the auxiliary plate 68, the first fragrance 69a, and the second fragrance 69b can be omitted. Magnets can also be used instead of magnetic bodies 81. In this case, the magnet of the upper housing 13 can be opposite to the magnet 73 with the opposite magnetic pole to the magnet 73 of the plate 62.

[0082] FIG15 schematically shows the structure of the light irradiation circuit of the second specific example. The light irradiation circuit 43 has an NPN transistor TR1 connected to the battery 35. An LED element of the LED lamp 33 is connected between the positive terminal of the battery 35 and the collector C of the NPN transistor TR1. A switch 36 and a first resistor R1 are connected in series between the positive terminal of battery 35 and the base B of NPN transistor TR1. A capacitor C1 is connected between the base B of NPN transistor TR1 and the negative terminal of battery 35. A second resistor R2 is connected in parallel with the first resistor R1 and capacitor C1. The emitter E of NPN transistor TR1 is connected to the negative terminal of battery 35. In this light irradiation circuit 43, when switch 36 is turned on, the voltage applied to the base B of NPN transistor TR1 gradually increases under the action of time constant circuits R1 and C1. When the voltage at the base B of NPN transistor TR1 reaches a predetermined value during the voltage rise, current flows into the collector C. Afterward, when a predetermined time has elapsed, the voltage applied to the base B of NPN transistor TR1 remains constant. When switch 36 is turned off, the charge in capacitor C1 is discharged through the second resistor R2.

[0083] The retention circuit 51 of the sound reproduction unit 45 retains the sound reproduction until a predetermined time (hereinafter referred to as the "third time") has elapsed after the ultraviolet light reaches its maximum intensity. The sound circuit 48 and the light irradiation circuit 43 share the battery 35 and the switch 36. The retention circuit 51 times the time from the turn-on of the switch 36 when the ultraviolet light reaches its maximum intensity (hereinafter referred to as the "gradual increase time") and the third time. The gradual increase time can be determined by the voltage characteristics of the light irradiation circuit 43. The gradual increase time is equivalent to the time during which the voltage applied to the base B of the NPN transistor TR1 from the turn-on of the switch 36 begins to remain at its maximum value. Here, if a predetermined third time has elapsed from the moment the ultraviolet light reaches its maximum intensity, the sound circuit 48 retrieves the sound signal from the memory 49 and supplies it to the speaker 47.

[0084] The LED lamp 33, the NPN transistor TR1, the capacitor C1, the first and second resistors R1 and R2, the sound circuit 48, the memory 49, and the retention circuit 51 may also be mounted on a common printed circuit board, for example. The first contact 37 of switch 36, the first blade 27 or the second blade 28 of hinge 26, battery 35, microphone 46, speaker 47, etc., can be electrically connected to the wiring pattern on the printed circuit board, for example, via a ethylene ester coated wire. The printed circuit board can be housed, for example, in battery compartment 34.

[0085] In the light illumination circuit 43 of the second specific example, after the upper housing 13 reaches the open position and switch 36 is turned on, after switch 36 is turned on (connection action), after waiting for a first time to pass, a predetermined voltage is applied from battery 35 to the base B of NPN transistor TR1. Current flows into the collector C of NPN transistor TR1, and LED lamp 33 starts to light up. Therefore, the observer in inner housing 11 can observe the diamond particles 23 shining as the upper housing 13 is opened.

[0086] Under the action of time constant circuits R1 and C1, the voltage applied to the base B of NPN transistor TR1 gradually increases. The amount of current flowing through LED lamp 33 gradually increases. The amount of ultraviolet light irradiating the diamond particle 23 from the LED light 33 increases. The diamond particle 23 gradually changes from transparent to blue. Thus, a light performance effect is produced according to the opening action of the upper housing 13. The leaf spring 31 exerts a driving force to keep the upper housing 13 in the open position, thus preventing the diamond particle 23 from starting to change color in the middle position between the closed and open positions, and the observer can reliably witness the color change of the diamond particle 23.

[0087] When a second time has elapsed since the start of ultraviolet irradiation, that is, when a third time has elapsed since the diamond particle 23 began to emit blue light at its maximum, the sound circuit 48 reproduces the recorded sound. For example, if it is a gift, the voice of the giver (e.g., "Please get married" or "Let's be together from now on") can be delivered to the observer.The sound reproduction is delayed due to the visual effect of the diamond particles 23, so the visual effect of the diamond particles 23 and the sound performance effect act on the observer in sequence. The observer can become aware of the auditory effect of the sound (including speech processing) after becoming aware of the visual effect of the diamond particles 23. The sound performance effect is superimposed on the visual effect. According to the inventors, since a person cannot be aware of multiple senses at the same time, the sound reproduction is staggered from the visual effect compared to the case where the sound performance effect and the visual effect occur simultaneously, thereby enhancing the superposition effect of vision and sound. Through this performance effect, the observer in the inner box 11 can experience a feeling that others cannot feel.

[0088] When the switch 36 is turned off, the LED light 33 is turned off. The sound circuit 48 ends the supply of sound signal. The sound reproduction ends. The charge of the capacitor C1 is discharged through the second resistor R2.

[0089] In addition, the LED light 33 can also be supported on the lower box 12 instead of the upper box 13. In addition, the diamond particles 23 can also be mounted on multiple bases forming the chain of the necklace. The base is made of metal materials such as platinum or gold. One diamond bead 23 can be fixed on each base, or multiple diamond beads 23 can be fixed. In addition, the diamond beads 23 can also be used as decoration on pendants, bracelets, piercings, rings, and anklets. The diamond beads can be of uniform size or a mixture of different sizes.

[0090] In the inner box 11 described above, the switch 36 can also be a tactile switch with a plunger, which is pressed by the upper box 13 when the upper box 13 reaches the open position. The light irradiation circuit 38 of the first embodiment and the light irradiation circuit 43 of the second embodiment can be replaced with electronic circuits of other structures as long as they achieve the same function as described above. In addition, the operation of the switch 36 can be linked not only to the upper box 13 in the open position as described above, but also to the upper box 13 in the closed position. Furthermore, the functions of the light irradiation circuits 38 and 43, the sound circuit 48, and the retention circuit 51 can also be implemented by software executed by the microprocessor (MPU).
