BOX FOR CABLES

A box (10) for cables comprises a first box portion (11) and a second box portion (12), a hinge assembly (21), having a hinge axis (X) parallel to an axial direction, that hinges the first box portion (11) to the second box portion (12). The hinge assembly (21) comprises a tab (24), having an appendage (32) elastically deformable having a free end (32b), and integral with the first box portion (11), a first hinge portion (22) integral with the second box portion (12) and a second hinge portion (23) integral with the first box portion (11), wherein the first hinge portion (22) and the second hinge portion (23) are rotatably connected to each other along the hinge axis (X) through a pintle (25). The tab (24), the first hinge portion (22) and the second hinge portion (23) succeed along the axial direction with the first hinge portion (22) positioned between the tab (24) and the second hinge portion (23). The tab (24) is movable between a rest position, wherein the tab (24) prevents the first hinge portion (22) from sliding along said axial direction relative to the second hinge portion (23), and a release position, wherein the first hinge portion (22) is slidable along said axial direction relative to the second hinge portion (23). During the elastic deformation of the appendage (32), the free end (32b) substantially rotates around a deformation axis (A) lying substantially parallel to the hinge axis (X).
