Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0677447A2] A matchbox (1) comprising a sleeve (2) and a tray (3), which is slidable within the sleeve, can be in an unlocked state in which the tray is freely slidable within the tray, or in a locked state, in which the tray is prevented from moving within the sleeve, thus preventing access to the contents of the matchbox. The matchbox is put into the locked state by pushing centre sections (6, 16) of the tray and sleeve inwards when the matchbox is closed so that the sleeve centre section overlaps the outer sections (5, 7) of the tray such that the centre sections are permanently displaced in this way and provide stop surfaces which prevent the tray from sliding freely within the sleeve. The sleeve outer sections (17, 18) are pushed to release the deflected centre sections and return the matchbox to its unlocked state. <IMAGE>
