Portable container system and method for manufacturing same

Abstract

A portable container system includes: an insertion tray (30) having a tray body (30A) in which at least one tray recess is formed; and a rigid container (10A) having therein a chamber (10I) configured to receive an insertion tray (30); wherein the insertion tray (30) comprises at least one first fixing member (30B) extending from the tray body (30A), the first fixing member (30B) being configured for being arranged in a first configuration in which the first fixing member (30B) moves relatively inward towards a side wall (30D) of the tray body (30A) as the insertion tray (30) is inserted into the chamber (10I) of the rigid container (10A) in an inward direction of an opening of the chamber (10I), and the first fixing member (30B) is configured to be arranged in a second configuration in which the first fixing member (30B) moves relatively outward away from the side wall (30D) of the tray body (30A) once the insertion tray (30) has been inserted into the chamber (10I) of the rigid container (10A), and wherein the first fixing member (30B) is configured to be arranged in a second configuration in which the first fixing member (30B) is moved away from the side wall (30D) of the tray body (30A). The rigid container (10A) comprises at least one second fixing member (10H) protruding from the inner surface of the side walls (10B, 10C) of the rigid container (10A) into the chamber (10I), whereby when said at least one first fixing member (30B) of the insertion tray (30) is arranged in a second configuration after insertion into the chamber (10I), the at least one second fixing member (10H) is configured to fix the at least one second fixing member (10H) into the chamber (10I). The at least one first fixing member (30B) is configured to abut against the at least one second fixing member (10H) so as to limit movement of the insertion tray (30) in an outward direction of the opening of the chamber (10I); and wherein a portion of the insertion tray (30) is configured for biasing the at least one securing member from the first configuration to the second configuration.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to portable container systems, and in particular, the present invention relates to portable container systems that can be used to store items such as rolled cigarettes. Background technique [0002] Currently, consumers generally need to roll their own cigarettes for consumption. It often takes some time and effort to roll a cigarette properly. To save time, consumers may roll several cigarettes at a time in advance for later use, however, if not used after a given amount of time, the pre-rolled cigarettes may become stale, resulting in waste. Furthermore, such products may often be stored in pocket sized containers or the like, however, many such tin containers lack appropriate child safety mechanisms to prevent young children from accessing the contents of the container. Furthermore, when such rolled cigarettes are stored in existing containers, they tend to be loose within the container and may break or fall apart whe...

To save time, consumers may roll several cigarettes at a time in advance for later use, however, if not used after a given amount of time, pre-rolled cigarettes become stale, resulting in wastage

Additionally, such products may often be stored in pocket-sized containers and the like, however, many such tin containers lack proper child safety mechanisms to prevent young children from accessing the contents of the container

Furthermore, when such rolled cigarettes are stored in existing containers, they tend not to be secured within the container and may break or fall apart when the container is moved
