Abstract
A packaging includes an outer box, an inner tray, and a lock mechanism. The lock mechanism includes a first lever and a second lever to lock the inner tray to the outer box and unlocks the inner tray from the outer box.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A package comprising:
an outer box having a cuboid shape including an open side, an inner tray slidable in and out of the outer box through the open side, the inner tray forming a compartment having an top open end through which to store items in the compartment, and a locking mechanism mountable along an interior side wall of the inner tray to lock the inner tray inside the outer box and unlock the inner tray to slide out of the outer box, the locking mechanism exposed to an exterior of the outer box at the open side of the outer box.
2 . The package of claim 1 ,
wherein the locking mechanism comprises a spring loaded mount including a first lever with a first protrusion, and a second lever with a second protrusion, so that when the first lever and the second lever are in a first position, the first protrusion and the second protrusion lock the inner tray to the outer box, and when the first lever and the second lever are in a second position, the first protrusion and the second protrusion unlock the inner tray from the outer box.
3 . The package of claim 2 , wherein the spring loaded mount includes a spring loaded part disposed in between and coupled to the first lever and the second lever.
4 . The package of claim 2 ,
wherein the inner tray includes a first eyelet and a second eyelet, and when the first lever and the second lever are in the first position the first protrusion and the second protrusion extend through the first eyelet and the second eyelet, respectively, locking the inner tray to the outer box, and when the first lever and the second lever are in the second position the first protrusion and the second protrusion are positioned between the first eyelet and the second eyelet unlocking the inner tray from the outer box.
5 . The package of claim 1 ,
wherein surfaces forming the cuboid shape of the outer box are quadrilaterals.
6 . An apparatus comprising:
a body having a first lever, a second lever, a first protrusion, and a second protrusion, the body configured to contract based on pressure applied to the first lever and the second lever and expand when the pressure is released, resulting in a spring like action to provide a bias force; and a H bar insertable into and detachable from the body, wherein an anchor slot is formed between a surface of the body and a surface of the H bar, and when the H bar is inserted into the body, the first lever and the second lever are movable between a first position and a second position based on the pressure applied to the first lever and the second lever, in the first position the first protrusion and the second protrusion extend outward to a first distance from the H bar and in the second position the first protrusion and the second protrusion extend outward to a second distance from the H bar, the second distance being less than the first distance.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
