Packing container

Abstract

A packing container H has a lid HC that can be opened and closed. The lid HC forms part of a double panel, which includes a front panel 1 and an inside panel 4 . The front panel 1 can turn on one edge of the double panel. The inside panel 4 includes a top part 4 A surrounded by perforations 17 . The top part 4 A can be stuck on the front panel 1 and subsequently torn from the inside panel 4 so that an opening 20 is formed in the inside panel 4 . The lid HC includes the front panel 1 and the top part 4 A stuck on this panel. The front panel 1 has a pair of guide flaps 5 formed on both sides thereof. The guide flaps 5 are adjacent to the one edge of the double panel. The guide flaps 5 can guide the lid HC when the lid is opened. The front panel 1 also has an insert tab 11 formed at the edge thereof opposite the one edge. The insert tab 11 can lock the lid HC when the lid is closed.

1 . A packing container constructed of a sheet of paper and having six sides, the container comprising: 
 a lid capable of being opened and closed;    a double panel formed on one of the six sides, the double panel including a front panel and an inside panel, the front panel being able to turn on one edge of the double panel, the inside panel including a top part surrounded by perforations, the top part being able to be stuck on the front panel and subsequently torn from the inside panel so that an opening is formed in the inside panel;    the lid including the front panel and the top part stuck on the front panel;    a pair of guide flaps formed on both sides of the front panel, the guide flaps being adjacent to the one edge of the double panel, the guide flaps being able to guide the lid when the lid is opened; and    an insert tab formed at the edge of the front panel that is opposite to the one edge, the insert tab being able to lock the lid when the lid is closed.    
   
   
       2 . A packing container as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the inside panel has a pair of slits formed on both sides thereof, and wherein each of the guide flaps has an arcuate edge and a lid stopper extending from the arcuate edge, the arcuate edge being able to slide through the adjacent slit.  
   
   
       3 . A packing container as claimed in  claim 2  wherein the slits of the inside panel are slightly longer than the radius of the circular edges of the guide flaps.  
   
   
       4 . A packing container as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the inside panel has an open window of a predetermined size formed in advance, the open window adjoining the top part.  
   
   
       5 . A packing container as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the front panel includes the lid as the top side of the container, the container further comprising: 
 a pair of side panels as the right and left sides of the container;    a pair of back panels as the front and rear sides of the container; and    a bottom panel as the bottom side of the container;    at least one of the side and back panels having a see-through window through which it is possible to check what is held in the container.    
   
   
       6 . A packing container as claimed in  claim 5  wherein each of the back panels has a pair of side flaps formed on both sides thereof, and each of the side panels has an insert flap formed at the bottom thereof, the container comprising a box body formed by bending the side flaps on each side of the container, covering the bent side flaps on each side of the container with the adjacent side panel, and subsequently sticking the insert flaps on the outer side of the bottom panel.  
   
   
       7 . A packing container as claimed in  claim 5  wherein each of the side flaps of each of the back panels is long enough to overlap with the adjacent side flap of the other back panel, and wherein each of the guide flaps is inserted and sandwiched between the adjacent side flaps and the adjacent side panel, each of the guide flaps being able to be guided on both sides thereof while the guide flaps are sliding.  
   
   
       8 . A packing container as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a bottom panel;    a pair of first side panels formed on both sides of the inside panel; and    a pair of second side panels formed on both sides of the bottom panel.    
   
   
       9 . A packing container as claimed in  claim 8  wherein part of the first side panels is cut away so as not to interfere with the guide flaps.
