Cord reel container

Abstract

A cord reel container includes a main body ( 2 ) around which a cord can be wound and a closure cover ( 3 ) couplable with the main body ( 2 ). The container ( 1 ) further includes at least one pair of repulsive. magnets ( 14 a, 14 b ), reciprocally interacting by repulsion so as to enable the container to be opened, and at least one pair of attractive magnets ( 4 a, 4 b ), interacting with each other by attraction so as to enable the container to be closed.

1 . A cord reel container, comprising a main body ( 2 ) around which a cord can be wound and a closure cover ( 3 ) couplable with said main body ( 2 ), characterized in that it comprises at least one pair of repulsive magnets ( 14   a,    14   b ), reciprocally interacting by repulsion so as to enable the container to be opened, and at least one pair of attractive magnets ( 4   a,    4   b ), interacting with each other by attraction so as to enable the container to be closed. 
     
     
         2 . The container according to  claim 1 , characterized in that a first magnet ( 14   a,    4   a ) of each pair of repulsive magnets ( 14   a,    14   b ) and attractive magnets ( 4   a,    4   b ) is associated with said main body ( 2 ) and a second magnet ( 14   b,    4   b ) of each pair of repulsive magnets ( 14   a,    14   b ) and attractive magnets ( 4   a,    4   b ) is associated with said cover ( 3 ). 
     
     
         3 . The container according to  claim 1 , characterized in that said cover ( 3 ) has a central peg ( 5 ), extending up inside the concavity of the cover ( 3 ), insertable inside a seat ( 6 ) formed in the main body ( 2 ); said pair of repulsive magnets ( 14   a,    14   b ) having the first magnet ( 14   a ) inserted inside said seat ( 6 ) and the second magnet ( 14   b ) associated with a free end ( 5   a ) of the peg ( 5 ). 
     
     
         4 . The container according to  claim 1 , characterized in that it comprises a plurality of pairs of attractive magnets ( 4   a,    4   b ), couplable to each other to enable a stable closure of the container. 
     
     
         5 . The container according to  claim 4 , characterized in that the first magnets ( 4   a ) of each pair of attractive magnets ( 4   a,    4   b ) are arranged along a perimeter edge ( 10 ) of the main body ( 2 ) and the second magnets ( 4   b ) of each pairs of attractive magnets ( 4   a,    4   b ) are arranged on an inside base ( 3   a ) of the cover ( 3 ). 
     
     
         6 . The container according to  claim 1 , characterized in that said cover ( 3 ) is separable from said main body ( 2 ) by sliding one relative to the other and by the repulsive interaction between the magnets of the pair of repulsive magnets ( 14   a,    14   b ). 
     
     
         7 . The container according to  claim 1 , characterized in that said main body ( 2 ) has at least one fastening element ( 9 ) to which a free terminal end of a cord windable around the main body ( 2 ) can be constrained. 
     
     
         8 . The container according to  claim 7 , characterized in that said main body ( 2 ) comprises at least a perimeter edge ( 10 ) comprising a plurality of radial recesses ( 11 ) defining said fastening element ( 9 ) and having a narrowing ( 12 ) at the entry section of each recess ( 11 ). 
     
     
         9 . The container according to  claim 1 , characterized in that said main body ( 2 ) is in the form of a reel, around which a cord can be wound. 
     
     
         10 . The container according to  claim 1 , characterized in that said main body has a compartment ( 7 ) for accommodating a pair of earphones. 
     
     
         11 . The container according to  claim 1 , characterized in that it has a circular shape. 
     
     
         12 . The container according to  claim 1 , characterized in that it has a polygonal shape.
