Abstract
A jewelry box having a segmented lid structure and a tray structure collectively defined by bottom, front, first side, rear and second side walls. An insert for supportably mounting an article of jewelry is received within an interior space of the tray structure. The segmented lid structure is pivotable between first and second positions and includes first, second, third, fourth and fifth parts. Inner side surfaces of the first and second parts of are fixedly secured to outer side surfaces of the bottom and rear walls, respectively. In the first position, an inner side surface of the third part engages the first side, rear and second side walls of the tray structure to cover a first portion of the interior area of the tray structure, the inner side surface of the third part engages the first and second side walls of the tray structure to cover a second portion of the interior area of the tray structure, and the fifth part is insertably received in a slot between the insert and the inner side surface of the front wall to secure the segmented lid structure in position. In the second position, the outer side surface of the third part engages the outer side surface of the second part and the outer side surfaces of the fourth and fifth parts engage the outer side surface of the first part. In this position, the segmented lid structure no longer blocks access to the interior area of the tray structure. A sheath is attached to the inner side surface of the third part and characters are imprinted on the inner side surface of the fifth part and the outer side surface of the fourth part.
