Definitions

  • Hinged lid containers are well known. For example revealed EP 1 428 764 a container with side locks using seals and US2009/0173744 a container with side snaps. In CN 108 839 953 A also discloses a container according to the preamble of claim 1 with a hinged lid
  • the retention hooks are oriented such that the pointed end of each retention hook associated with a lid half points toward the hinge of that lid half.
  • the lid halves are pivoted inward and pressed onto the retaining hooks, causing them to slide towards the center of the side walls until they fully pass through the openings in the lid halves, after which they are moved back again by the spring force and on top of the lid halves.
  • Manual movement of the retaining hooks will unlock by moving the retaining hooks toward the center of the container again, bringing the entire hook into the openings in the deck halves.
  • the retaining hooks are each formed at an angle or rounded on their upper side towards the hinges. This allows for easier and smoother movement of the retaining hooks into the openings in the lid halves when locking.
  • the moveable retaining hooks are each connected to an upwardly pointing projection which cooperates with a projection on the underside of the cover half so that the cover half is lifted when unlocked.
  • the projection on the underside of the cover halves is beveled towards the free end of the cover halves, with the projection connected to the retaining hook having any shape, but preferably being beveled upwards.
  • the lid halves can also be lifted by releasing the retaining hooks very quickly and the retaining hooks springing back into their starting position, with the lid halves resting on the retaining hooks and not down again fall to a horizontal position.
