Abstract

A packing box including a box body and a cover body is provided. The box body includes a bottom plate and first side plates connected to the bottom plate. The bottom plate and the first side plates collectively encircle an accommodation space. One of the first side plates includes a first tongue piece extending out of the accommodation space. The first tongue piece includes a fixing end and a free end. The cover body includes a top plate and a second side plate. The top plate is pivotally connected to the box body, such that the top plate is adapted to be opened or closed to expose or shield the accommodation space. The second side plate includes a first inner layer and a first outer layer stacked with each other. The first inner layer has a notch, and the notch is close to one side of the top plate and corresponds to the first tongue piece. When the cover body is closed to the box body, the free end strikes the first outer layer of the second side plate to produce a sound.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A packing box, comprising:
a box body, comprising a bottom plate and a plurality of first side plates connected to the bottom plate, wherein the bottom plate and the first side plates collectively encircle an accommodation space, wherein one of the first side plates comprises a first tongue piece extending out of the accommodation space, the first tongue piece comprises a fixing end and a free end opposite to each other, and the fixing end of the first tongue piece is connected to one side of the first side plate away from the bottom plate; and
a cover body, comprising a top plate and a second side plate connected to the top plate, wherein the top plate is pivotally connected to the box body, such that the top plate is adapted to be opened or closed to expose or shield the accommodation space, the second side plate comprises a first inner layer and a first outer layer stacked with each other, the first inner layer has a notch, and the notch is positioned on a boundary between the second side plate and the top plate and corresponds to the first tongue piece, wherein
during a process that the cover body is closed to the box body, the first tongue piece of the first side plate is pushed by the first inner layer of the second side plate, and the free end is gradually approached to an outer surface of the first side plate until the free end moves into the notch and is rebounded back to an inner surface of the first outer layer.

2. The packing box as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first inner layer of the second side plate has two slits extended from the notch, and a part of the first inner layer located between the two slits is adapted to be folded to serve as a second tongue piece.

3. The packing box as claimed in claim 2 , wherein in a first phase that the cover body is lifted up from the box body, the free end of the first tongue piece of the first side plate is moved into a space between the second tongue piece and the first outer layer, and the first tongue piece contacts to interfere the second tongue piece.

4. The packing box as claimed in claim 3 , wherein in a second phase that the cover body of the packing box is lifted up from the box body, the second tongue piece is folded in a direction away from the first outer layer, and drives the free end of the first tongue piece to rotate in a direction away from the outer surface of the first side plate until leaving a moving path of the second tongue piece, so as to release the interference on the second tongue piece.

5. The packing box as claimed in claim 2 , wherein a length of each of the slits is equal to a length of the first tongue piece.

6. The packing box as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a width of the first tongue piece is greater than a length of the first tongue piece.

7. The packing box as claimed in claim 1 , wherein dimensions of a length and a width of the notch are greater than or equal to dimensions of a length and a width of the first tongue piece, respectively.

8. The packing box as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first side plate having the first tongue piece comprises a second inner layer and a second outer layer stacked with each other, the second inner layer has a U-shape slit, and the first tongue piece is formed by folding a part of the second inner layer surrounded by the U-shape slit towards an outer surface of the second outer layer.

9. The packing box as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a shape of the notch corresponds to a shape of the first tongue piece.

10. The packing box as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:
an inner separation member, disposed in the accommodation space, and leaning against the first side plate having the first tongue piece.
