DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

(21) A preferred embodiment of a screw packing container in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1-19, includes at least a lid 1 and a container 2 as main components combined together. The lid 1 and the container 2 can be made of plastic, rubber or other elastic material.

(22) As shown in FIGS. 7 to 11, the lid 1 has a first section 11 and a second section 12 which are connected by a hinge 10. When the size of the first section 11 is larger than the size of the second section 12, the user can more conveniently take the screws or parts in the container 2.

(23) The periphery of the first section 11 and second section 12 are respectively provided with a first circumferential wall 110 and a second circumferential wall 120, and a first reinforced ring 111 and a second reinforced ring 121 are separately arranged on the bottom of said first circumferential wall 110 and the bottom of second circumferential wall 120 to strengthen the structural strength of the circumferential wall 110, 120.

(24) The inner side of the first circumferential wall 110 of the first section 11 is spaced apart by a distance to provide a first inner circumference 112, a first groove 113 is formed between the first circumferential wall 110 and the first inner circumference 112, and a first recess 114 is set on the inner surface of said first circumferential wall 110. A first supporting protrusion 115 is mounted on the inner surface of the first circumferential wall 110 which is close to said hinge 10, the first supporting protrusions 115 may be respectively disposed at the both ends of the first circumferential wall 110. The rear end of the first supporting protrusion 115 may be provided with a first guiding slope 116 to reduce the resistance of the first supporting protrusion 115 during the closing lid operation.

(25) The inner side of the second circumferential wall 120 of the second section 12 is spaced apart by a distance to provide a second inner circumference 122, a second groove 123 is formed between the second circumferential wall 120 and the second inner circumference 122, and a second recess 124 is set on the inner surface of said second circumferential wall 120. Said first groove 113 and second groove 123 are engaged with each other to form an annular groove. At least one anti-detachment block 125 is mounted on the inner surface of the second circumferential wall 120 which is close to said hinge 10, the anti-detachment block 125 is disposed below the second recess 124. The lower end of the anti-detachment block 125 may be provided with a second guiding slope 126 to reduce the closing resistance of the anti-detachment block 125 to the second section 12 of the lid 1.

(26) Said first section 11 and second section 12 are respectively provided with a first prominent portion 13 and a second prominent portion 14, at least one set first coupling member 130 and second coupling member 140 is mounted on the first prominent portion 13 and second prominent portion 14 which is close to said hinge 10, and the first coupling member 130 and the second coupling member 140 can be stuck with each other. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the first coupling member 130 and the second coupling member 140 may be a set of corresponding lug and groove, the lug and the groove are respectively provide with a first positioning member 131 and a second positioning member 141. In this way, when the lug is combined with the groove, an squeezing friction force is generated between the first positioning member 131 and the second positioning member 141, so that the first coupling member 130 and the second coupling member 140 can be stuck and positioned to each other.

(27) As shown in FIGS. 12 to 16, said container 2 has a space 20 to contain screws or other parts, the shape of the annular side wall 200 of the container 2 is in conformance with the shape of the lid 1. A engaging circumference 21 is formed on the top of the container 2, a protrudent ring 22 is provided between the annular side wall 200 and the engaging circumference 21 to strengthen the structure of the container 2 and to limit the final engaging position and depth of the lid 1. So that the user can know whether the lid 1 has been tight with the container 2.

(28) As shown in FIG. 13, the left side of said engaging circumference 21 has a first engaging flange 210 which is provided to match with said first recess 114, so that the first section 11 of the lid 1 can be engaged with the container 2. The right side of said engaging circumference 21 has a second engaging flange 211 which is provided to match with said second recess 124, so that the second section 12 of the lid 1 can be engaged with the container 2. The total length of the first engaging flange 210 is less than the total length of the second engaging flange 211, so that the first section 11 will be easier to open than the second section 12. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, when the second section 12 of the lid 1 and the container 2 are engaged with each other, said anti-detachment block 125 will hook the second engaging flange 211 of the container 2, so that the second section 12 can be fixed with the container 2 and prevent the second section 12 from being accidentally opened.

(29) As shown in FIGS. 13 to 16, a second supporting protrusion 212 is mounted on the outer surface of said engaging circumference 21, the position of the second supporting protrusion 212 is corresponding to the position of said first supporting protrusion 115. Thus, when the first section 11 of the lid 1 is opened, the first section 11 can be held in the open position by using the first coupling member 130 and the second coupling member 140, moreover, by using the first supporting protrusion 115 of the lid 1 and the second supporting protrusion 212 of the container 2, an auxiliary support for maintaining the first section 11 in the open position can be provided, so that the first section 11 of the lid 1 will achieve the effect of double support positioning, and also can extend the service life of the screw packing container.

(30) Said second supporting protrusion 212 may be provided with a third guiding slope 213, the third guiding slope 213 is matched with said first supporting protrusion 115 to reduce the resistance of the first supporting protrusion 115 during the the first section 11 opening operation. A guiding block 214 may be mounted behind said second supporting protrusion 212, the guiding block 214 has an arcuate guide angle to guide the first supporting protrusion 115 to move more smoothly when the first section 11 is opened.

(31) As shown in FIGS. 17 to 19, when the screw packing container of the present invention is used, even if the user opens the first section 11 of the lid 1 very vigorously, the innovative barb fixing technique used in the second section 12 of the lid 1 can surely prevent the entire lid 1 from being opened. Moreover, this invention utilizes the innovative double support positioning technology to enable the screw packing container still has the function of maintaining a semi-open state after being used for a long time. In this way, the use efficiency of the screw packing container can be improved, and the user can take the screws or other parts in the container more conveniently and safely. Evidently this invention has tangible benefits and tallies with progressiveness and novelty demanded by patent laws.

(32) While the preferred embodiments of this invention have been described above, it will be recognized and understood that various modifications may be made therein and appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications that may fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
