Title:
PORTABLE HINGED RECEPTACLE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/041870
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A portable receptacle (10) having first (12;12A) and second (14;14A) body portions which are actuable between open and closed conditions about a first axis (38). The body portions are shaped such that the receptacle has a generally hollow interior when closed. The body portions are joined at a hinge (28;30) having a hinge axis, the hinge axis being obliquely angled relative to the first axis (38) in the closed receptacle condition such that the hinge deflects relative to the first axis during opening. The receptacle may advantageously be opened by applying a deflection force to the hinge which results in the movement of an edge of the first body portion away from the second body portion. A pair of hinges may be provided. The receptacle may take the form of a case for spectacles.
