Description
FIELD

The subject matter herein generally relates to packaging containers, and particularly to a packaging container for electronic devices.


BACKGROUND

To prevent fragile precision electronic devices, such as mobile phones, from being damaged during transportation, the electronic devices are packaged in boxes before shipment. However, most of the boxes are discarded after the electronic devices are sold, so the boxes are wasted.





BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Implementations of the present technology will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the attached figures.



FIG. 1 is an isometric view of an embodiment of a packaging container in an open state.



FIG. 2 is an isometric view of the packaging container of FIG. 1 in a closed state.



FIG. 3 is an enlarged, isometric view of circled portion III shown in FIG. 1.





DETAILED DESCRIPTION

It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures, and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. Also, the description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts may be exaggerated to better illustrate details and features of the present disclosure.


The term “substantially” is defined to be essentially conforming to the particular dimension, shape, or other feature that the term modifies, such that the component need not be exact. For example, substantially cylindrical means that the object resembles a cylinder, but can have one or more deviations from a true cylinder. The term “comprising,” when utilized, means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in the so-described combination, group, series and the like.


The present disclosure is described in relation to a packaging container.



FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are isometric views of an embodiment of a packaging container 100. The packaging container 100 is used to accommodate an electronic device and related accessories (e.g. an earphone, a charger, a data cable, an owner manual, and the like) when packaged.


The packing container 100 includes a first portion 10, a second portion 20, and a bendable joint 30 integrally connected between the first portion 10 and the second portion 20. The first portion 10, the second portion 20, and the bendable joint 30 can be made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polystyrene (PS), poly ethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), or other plastic materials. In this exemplary embodiment, the first portion 10, the second portion 20, and the bendable joint 30 are made of PE.


The first portion 10 includes a first main body 11 and a first hand grip 12. The first main body 11 can have a rectangular shape and defines a first accommodation space 111. The first hand grip 12 horizontally extends from a flange of the first main body 11 and defines a first hole 121. In addition, the first hand grip 12 forms two protruding blocks 131 adjacent to two end of the first hole 121, respectively.


The second portion 20 is substantially same to the first portion 10. The second portion 20 includes a second main body 21 and a second hand grip 22. The second main body 21 can have a rectangular shape and defines a second accommodation space 211 corresponding to the first accommodation space 111. The second hand grip 22 horizontally extends from a flange of the second main body 21 and defines a second hole 221. In addition, the first hand grip 12 defines two recesses 231 adjacent to two end of the first hole 121, respectively. When the second portion 20 covers the first portion 10, the second accommodation space 211 communicates with the first accommodation space 111, and the two protruding blocks 131 engage with the two recesses 231, respectively. In at least one embodiment, both the first hole 121 and the second hole 221 can have an oval shape.



FIG. 3 illustrates the bendable joint 30 including a first connection portion 31, a second connection portion 32, and a bent portion 33 connected between the first connection portion 31 and the second connection portion 32. In addition, the first connection portion 31 is connected to a flange of the first main body 11 which is away from the first hand grip 12, and the second connection portion 32 is connected to a flange of the second main body 21 which is away from the second hand grip 22. In at least one embodiment, both the first connection portion 31 and the second connection portion 32 are substantially a rectangular strip, and the bent portion 33 is substantially an arcuate strip.


Referring to FIG. 2, in use, the electronic device can be accommodated in the first accommodation space 111, and the related accessories can be accommodated in the second accommodation space 211. Optionally, the electronic device and the related accessories can be packed within foam, or other cushion materials, to absorb vibration. And then, the second portion 20 is folded on the first portion 10 via the bendable joint 30. At this time, the two protruding blocks 131 are latched into the two recesses 231 to lock the packing container 100. The first hand grip 12 is aligned with the second hand grip 12 to form an operation portion 24, and the first hole 121 communicates with the second hole 221 to define an operation hole 25 to facilitate holding by users.


The two protruding blocks 131 and the two recesses 231 cooperatively form a fixing structure 26. In other embodiments, the first portion 10 and the second portion 20 can be engaged by magnets or other suitable fixing structures.


In summary, the packaging container 100 can be reused by the purchaser. Thus, the packaging container 100 is eco-friendly. In addition, the packaging container 100 has a relatively simple structure and is easy to use.


The embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Many details are often found in the art such as the other features of the packaging container. Therefore, many such details are neither shown nor described. Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present technology have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the present disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in the details, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of the parts within the principles of the present disclosure, up to and including the full extent established by the broad general meaning of the terms used in the claims. It will therefore be appreciated that the embodiments described above may be modified within the scope of the claims.
