Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention


The present invention relates to a commodity box, and more particularly to a commodity box that can be produced easily and can display the commodity from different angles.


2. Description of the Prior Art


Generally, there are three types of commodity box. The first type commodity box as shown in FIG. 1 comprises a base 100 formed with an open recess 101 for accommodation of a commodity S, so that the commodity S can be clearly seen by consumers. However, since the open recess 101 is open and has no cover, the commodity S will get soiled easily. The second type commodity storing box as shown in FIG. 2 comprises a seat 200 on which sits the commodity S for sale, and then a transparent cover 201 covers the commodity S for prevention of dust. The shortcoming of this box is that the transparent cover 201 is high cost and not easy to be produced since it is made by molding process. Furthermore, the transparent cover 201 and the seat 200 are not made of recycle material and cannot be reused, this causes resources waste and environmental contamination. The third type of commodity box as shown in FIG. 3 comprises a base 300 and a through hole 301 formed on a side of the base 300, the through hole 301 is covered with a transparent tape 302 (as shown in FIG. 4). The commodity S is stored in the base 300 of the commodity box, and the consumer only can see a part of the commodity S through the hole 301, furthermore, adhering the transparent tape 302 is troublesome since the transparent tape 302 needs to be cut into a predetermined size and then can be adhered to the inner side of the base 300 to cover the through hole 301.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view.


It is one object of the present invention to provide a commodity box for storage of commodity, a first and a second through holes are formed on a first and a second planes of the commodity box, and between the first and the second through holes is arranged a connecting member, and then a transparent layer is attached to and covers the first and second planes. By such arrangements, the commodity in the commodity box can be kept from dust by the transparent layer and displayed clearly through the first and second through holes. Furthermore, the commodity is low cost and can be produced easily, and the transparent layer is made of recycle material friendly to environment.


It is another object of the present invention to provide a commodity box for storage of commodity, in the above-mentioned first and second through holes is added a reinforcing rib, so as to improve the strength of the commodity box, the reinforcing rib in the first through hole is connected to the first plane and the connecting member, and another reinforcing rib in the second through hole is connected to the second plane and the connecting member.


The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, which show, for purpose of illustrations only, the preferred embodiments in accordance with the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, a commodity box 10 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention is provided for accommodation of commodity S and at least comprises: a first plane 11 and a second plane 12. The first plane 11 and the second plane 12 are formed with a first through hole 13 and a second through hole 14, respectively, and between the first through hole 13 and the second through hole 14 is a connecting member 15 that includes a horizontal portion 151 and a vertical portion 152. The horizontal portion 151 is located on the first plane 11, while the vertical portion 152 is located on the second plane 12. Both left and right ends of the horizontal portion 151 are connected to the edge of the first through hole 13, while both left and right ends of the vertical portion 152 are connected to the edge of the second through hole 14.


The connecting member 15 generally includes three variations, the first type is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. The second type is shown in FIG. 7 and only has a horizontal portion 151 located on the first plane 11, both left and right ends of the horizontal portion 151 are connected to the edge of the first through hole 13, and the front and rear ends of the horizontal portion 151 are located between the edge of the first through hole 13 and that of the second through hole 14. A third type connecting member 15 is shown in FIG. 8 and only has a vertical portion 152 located on the second plane 12, the left and right ends of the vertical portion 152 are connected to the edge of the second through hole 14, while the front and rear ends of the vertical portion 152 are located between the first through hole 13 and that of the second through hole 14.


The first plane 11 and the second plane 12 are covered with a transparent layer 20 (as shown in FIG. 9), so that the consumers can see the commodity S in the commodity box 10 clearly through the first and second through holes 13, 14 (as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6).


Referring to FIGS. 10 and 11, several planes of the commodity box 10 (there are three planes as shown in FIGS. 10, 11) are formed with through holes, so that the consumers can see the commodity S from different angles.


The first and second through holes 13, 14 as previously mentioned are at least provided with a reinforcing rib 18 (as shown in FIGS. 7, 8 and 12) for improving the strength of the commodity box 10. The reinforcing rib 18 in the first through hole 13 is connected between the first plane 11 and the connecting member 15, and another reinforcing rib 18 in the second through hole 14 is connected between the second plane 12 and the connecting member 15.


As compared to the conventional commodity box, the present invention has the following advantages:


First, the commodity box 10 and the transparent layer 20 are made of recycle paper and plastic material, which can be reused and are environment friendly.


Second, the transparent layer 20 is attached to the first and second planes 11, 12 of the commodity box 10 directly without needing to be produced by an extra molding process.


Third, the first and second through holes 11, 12 are covered by the transparent layer 20, so that the commodity S can be kept from dust.


Fourth, the connecting member 15 is integrally formed on the-commodity box 10 for enabling the transparent layer 20 to be attached to the first and second planes 11, 12 firmly, the production process will be easy and simple.


Fifth, the commodity box 10 has more than two through holes located at different planes, so that the commodity S can be displayed more clearly.


While we have shown and described various embodiments in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
