Abstract

A packaging case comprising two boxes or bags can be open right and left or closed like a book. At the time when the packaging case is open, holes or slits provided at the upper surfaces of the boxes or bags are appeared so that a pair of three-dimensional hand coverings stored in the boxes or bags can be taken out one by one. At the time when the packaging case is closed, the holes or the slits are concealed to prevent the boxes or the bags from entering of the dust.

Claims

1. A packaging case for a plurality of pairs of throwaway three-dimensional hand coverings, comprising:

an opaque left box having a rectangular shape, said left box being filled with a plurality of three-dimensional left hand coverings which are stacked upon each other, said left box having a hole in an upper surface thereof for permitting removal of said left hand coverings therefrom, and said left box having a ridge which extends longitudinally along one edge thereof;

an opaque right box having a rectangular shape, said right box being filled with a plurality of three-dimensional right hand coverings which are stacked on each other, said right box having a hole in an upper surface thereof for permitting removal of said right hand coverings therefrom, and said right box having a ridge which extends longitudinally along one edge thereof;

said left and right boxes being foldably connected with each other along said ridges thereof;

said left and right hand coverings defining respective shapes which are different but are substantially mirror images of each other, said left and right boxes having visible indicia marked on said upper surfaces thereof for uniquely identifying each said box and facilitating selecting said left and right hand coverings; and

each said hand covering including a base portion and a plurality of finger portions extending from said base portion, said hand coverings being stacked in said boxes such that said finger portions overlie each other and said base portions overlie each other, said holes in said upper surfaces of said boxes being dimensioned so as to overlie only said base portions of said hand coverings and being spaced from both longitudinal ends of the associated box, said finger portions being covered by said upper surfaces, said visible indicia overlying a part of said hand coverings between said hole and said finger portions, each said base portion having a palm side and a back side which faces oppositely away from said palm side, and said back sides of said base portions facing toward the associated holes and upper surfaces of said boxes.
