Storage container

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a storage container for at least one portable electronic apparatus including a circumferential side wall and a bottom wall connected thereto for forming a main receiving space of the storage container as well as a lid construction for closing the main receiving space, wherein at least one additional receiving space accessible from the outside and substantially closed with respect to the main receiving space is formed in the lid construction.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A storage container for at least one portable electronic apparatus, comprising:
 a circumferential side wall and a bottom wall connected thereto for forming a main receiving space of the storage container as well as   a lid construction for closing the main receiving space, wherein   at least one additional receiving space accessible from the outside and substantially closed with respect to the main receiving space is formed in the lid construction.   
     
     
         2 . The storage container according to  claim 1 , wherein the lid construction comprises a circumferential first side wall as well as an inner first lid wall connected thereto, wherein the first lid wall is formed such that it substantially closes the additional receiving space with respect to the main receiving space. 
     
     
         3 . The storage container according to  claim 2 , wherein the lid construction comprises a circumferential second side wall and a second lid wall connected thereto for forming the additional receiving space. 
     
     
         4 . The storage container according to  claim 3 , wherein at least one receiving opening is formed in the area of the second side wall and/or of the second lid wall. 
     
     
         5 . The storage container according to  claim 4 , wherein the receiving opening is formed closable or non-closable. 
     
     
         6 . The storage container according to  claim 1 , wherein the lid construction is connected to the side wall in pivotable and foldable manner. 
     
     
         7 . The storage container according to  claim 1 , wherein the lid construction is connected to the side wall via at least one hinge flap. 
     
     
         8 . The storage container according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one opening is formed in the side wall and/or the bottom wall and/or the lid construction in the area of corresponding electrical or electronic terminals of the received electronic apparatus. 
     
     
         9 . The storage container according to  claim 1 , wherein an exterior shape of the main receiving space is formed such that they substantially correspond to the shape of an outer circumference of the electronic apparatus. 
     
     
         10 . The storage container according to  claim 2 , wherein an exterior shape of a receiving space formed by the inner first side wall and the first lid wall of the lid construction is formed such that they substantially correspond to the shape of an outer circumference of the electronic apparatus. 
     
     
         11 . The storage container according to  claim 1 , wherein the portable electronic apparatus is a mobile phone, a music player or a charging station of a mobile phone, of cordless headphones or other electronic apparatuses comprising at least one chargeable accumulator for current supply. 
     
     
         12 . The storage container according to  claim 1 , wherein the additional receiving space of the lid construction is formed for receiving accessory elements of the portable electronic apparatus. 
     
     
         13 . The storage container according to  claim 1 , wherein the storage container is integrally formed. 
     
     
         14 . The storage container according to  claim 1 , wherein the side wall, the bottom wall and the lid construction are composed of an elastic material. 
     
     
         15 . The storage container according to  claim 1 , wherein the side wall, the bottom wall and the lid construction are composed of a silicone material or a plastic material. 
     
     
         16 . The storage container according to  claim 4 , wherein the shape and/or a diameter of the receiving opening are variable by exertion of pressure on the lid construction. 
     
     
         17 . The storage container according to  claim 1 , wherein the storage container is configured and arranged for storing at least one portable electronic apparatus in at least the main receiving space as well as for storing at least one accessory element in the additional receiving space of the lid construction. 
     
     
         18 . The storage container according to  claim 17 , wherein the portable electronic apparatus is a mobile phone, a music player or a charging station of a mobile phone, of cordless headphones or other electronic apparatuses comprising at least one chargeable accumulator for current supply. 
     
     
         19 . The storage container according to  claim 17 , wherein the accessory element is a replacement part of the electronic apparatus, a retaining and positioning element of a headphone and/or an electronic and/or electrical element connectable to a charging station for accumulators storable in the storage container.
