8 DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The concept of the invention is described more fully below with reference to to the accompanying drawings, in which embodiments of the concept of the invention are shown. Similar numbers refer to items similar in all drawings. However, this concept of the invention can to be implemented in many different forms and should not be interpreted as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Instead of this, these embodiments are proposed so that this description that is complete, and communicate the scope of the concept of invention to men of job. The scope of the invention is therefore defined by the appended claims. The following embodiments are examined, through concern for simplification, in relation to the terminology and structure of a packaging.
A reference throughout the specification to an embodiment means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with one embodiment is included in at least one embodiment embodiment of the present invention. Thus, the appearance of the expression in a embodiment at various locations throughout the specification does not made not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. In addition, the functionalities, structures, or particular characteristics may to be combined in any suitable manner in one or more modes of achievement.
According to embodiments and more particularly with reference to Figures 1 to 15, it is proposed a package 6 comprising a lower shell 3 and an upper shell 2. It is also proposed another mode of embodiment in Figures 16 to 27A, which proposes a package 66 showing a part of the components of the embodiment of Figure 1 and having modifications to other components. Thus, the lower shell 3, the band of seal 5 and the lower part 23 of the upper shell 62 can be

9 identical or similar in the embodiment of Figures 1 and 16, of so that the same reference numbers are assigned to them. However, as detailed below, the cover 621 of the upper shell 62, the device of link 64, and the cap 61 of the embodiment of FIG. 16 differ through compared to the corresponding components 21, 4 and 1 of the embodiment of the figure 1.
The description given below of the packaging 6 in connection with the method of realization of Figures 1 to 15 can be applied to the packaging 66, except heard with regard to the elements of the packaging 66 which differ from those of packaging 6. In particular, the description made for the cover can also be applied to the cover 621 except for the groove 214 of the cover 21 which, for the cover 621, is replaced by the coupling elements 6214, 6217. Similarly, the description given for the link device 4 may also apply to the linkage device 64 except for the coupling of the connecting device 64 to the cover 621 which differs from the coupling of the connecting device 4 to the cover 21. Likewise, the coupling of the connecting device 64 to the cover 61 differs from that of the connecting device 4 at the cover 1 and the arms of the connecting device 4 differ from those of the device link 64.
According to one embodiment, the lower shell 3 and / or the upper shell are made of a translucent material, preferably transparent.
The upper shell 2 comprises a connecting part 23 and a cover 21 connected between them by a hinge 22. According to one embodiment, the cover 21, the hinge 22 and the connecting part 23 of the upper shell 2 are formed in one piece, preferably plastic. The hinge 22 can be formed by a simple connection zone between the cover 21 and the part of connection 23. According to a particular aspect the hinge can be broken by twisting and or traction.
Each shell is considered an open shell in the sense that it forms a blind cavity and allows the state assembled with the other to define a closed chamber in the applied state of a sealing tape at the hood 21 and of the connecting part 23, as detailed below.
5 In the example illustrated in the figures, the sealing strip forms a system of closure preventing access to the interior of the hollow body. The description carried out below in the case of a sealing tape also applies to other types closing system. Thus, as a variant, the closure system can be glue or solder applied to an area between the hood and the body

10 hollow, or the closure system can be a connecting zone, weakened, for example by being made breakable, between the cover and the body hollow. In these variants, the closure system comes undone or breaks when the pivoting of the cover around the axis of the hinge.
Thus, in the closed position, the protective cover 1 covers the cover 21 and hides the locking system. In the open position of the cover 1 of protection, the locking system is accessible. When the cover 21 is capped by the cap 1, the cap 21 extends inside the cap at the less partially, preferably completely. In the open position of the cap 1 for protection, the cover 21 extends less or not inside the cover 1 through compared to the closed position of the cover 1.
Packaging 6 may contain another packaging, called inner packaging.
The inner package may contain a medical implant. Inner packing and the outer packaging then forms a double-packaging.
As a variant, provision can be made for the inner packaging to contain an object other than a medical implant. The inner packaging may contain other part (s) medical (s) preferably sterilized.
As illustrated in Figure 15 which shows an inner packaging 150, the inner package may include a lower shell 151 and a shell upper 152 provided with a sealing strip 153 in a similar manner to that

11 of packaging 6, then considered as outer packaging. Packing interior 150 contains an object such as a medical screw 154.
In particular, the inner packaging may be similar or identical to a inner packaging as described in the international application W02018078242A1, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein application, or in international application VV02019030451A2 whose Content is incorporated by reference into this application. According to a variant implementation, it is possible to provide that the inner packaging is similar or identical to the packaging provided with the connecting device described in this request, with dimensions adapted to fit in the packaging outside.
As a variant, as illustrated more particularly in FIG. 16, it is possible too provide that the outer packaging houses a gripper 140 (or system of object retention) associated with an object, such as a medical screw 141.
For example, the gripper (or object holding system) can be similar or identical to that or those described in the international application W02018065733A1, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein application, or international application W02019030451A2, the content of which is incorporated by reference into the present application, or the international application W02019220067 A1, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein demand.
It is also possible to provide that the packaging 6 directly accommodates a desired object, Phone one or more medical part (s), without inner packaging or intermediate gripper.
The object can be for example a solid part, such as a screw for surgery, or any other type of object, in particular any other type of implant. In besides, said object can be a liquid or a powder. Said object and, preferably, the different parts of the packaging, are sterilized for example by radiation.

12 The packaging (or double packaging) is designed to preserve the sterile nature of said object and with a view to unpacking the object in aseptic or close to aseptic conditions.
Lower shell The lower shell 3 is in the form of a hollow body having a closed end forming a bottom 301 and an opposite end 302 which is opened. According to a particular aspect detailed below, the perimeter of the end 302 is fixed to the connecting part 23 of the upper shell.
The lower shell 3 may be similar or identical to that described in application W02018078242A1, the content of which is incorporated by reference into the present request.
Upper shell The upper shell 2 can also be similar or identical to that described in application WO2018078242A1, the content of which is incorporated by reference to the present application, with the difference that the cover 21 of the upper shell 2 is coupled to the linkage device 4. For this purpose and as proposed in the example illustrated in the figures, the upper part 10A of the cover 1 can be fitted with a specific system for receiving the linkage device 4.
The connecting part 23 of the upper shell 2 is in the form of a body crossing. In particular the connecting part 23 is presented under the form of a section of the upper shell. It can be provided that the connecting part or of generally cylindrical shape.
The hinge 22, which connects a portion of the upper periphery of the part of connection 23 around the periphery of the cover 21, allows the cover 21 to be articulated with respect to To the connecting part 23 enters a raised (open) position freeing access To

13 the inside of the connecting part 23 and a lowered (closed) position preventing access to the interior of said connecting part 23.
According to a preferred aspect, once assembled, said connecting part 23 of the upper shell 2 and the lower shell 3 form two fixed parts moon to the other in a way that cannot be dismantled by the user. The lower rim of the connecting part 23 is fitted into a flared end portion of the lower shell 3. The lower shell 3 is fixed to the connecting part 23, through example by welding. Preferably, the fixing is carried out by welding between a flange of the connecting part 23 and the periphery of the end 302 of the lower shell 3.
In the closed position of the cover, the perimeters of the cover 21 and the part of connection 23 are located opposite one another and together form said shell superior.
In the closed position of the cover 21, the latter defines with the part of bond 23 a slot 20 (visible in particular in FIG. 8) which extends from end of the hinge 22 at the opposite end of said hinge 22.
In the examples illustrated in the figures and as recalled above, the part connection 23 is fixed to the lower shell 3 so that the entire connecting part 23 and the lower shell 3 forms a hollow body, again called main hollow body, allowing to house an object. Alternatively, we can provide that the main hollow body is formed in one piece.
We define the axis Al as being the exit axis of the object (outside the body hollow main), that is to say the central axis of the opening 230 of the part of bond 23.
In the closed position of the cover 21, this axis Al also corresponds to the normal at the mouth of the cap 1. Moreover, in the example illustrated in figures, this axis Al corresponds to the longitudinal axis of the packaging.
The main hollow body thus has at one of its ends an opening

14 corresponding to the opening 230 (visible in figure 9 in the open position of the cover 21), access to which is closed when the cover 21 is closed.
the example illustrated in the figures, the opposite end of the main hollow body is closed and forms the bottom 301 of said main hollow body. The object housed in the packaging may of course protrude in height from the main hollow body and therefore from the connecting part 23, up to the interior of the space defined by the hood 21 (which is in the form of a shell in the examples illustrated in figures).
The hinge 22 enables the cover 21 to be pivoted between said position of closing in which it closes the main hollow body 3, 23, i.e. where it stop access through said opening 230 of the main hollow body inside said body main trough, and an open position in which access to inside the main hollow body by said opening 230 is released, which allows a operator to extract the contents of the package 6.
A sealing strip 5 is applied to the edges of a defined slit 20 between the cover 21 and the connecting part 23, as well as on the hinge 22.
Sealing tape The sealing strip 5 connects, on the outer side of the upper shell 2, the edges of the cover 21 and of the connecting part 23 which face each other in the closed (or lowered) of the cover 21, over the entire length of the edges of the packaging and from side to side to seal the package.
Preferably, the sealing strip 5 is applied by one of its ends on the hinge 22, extends along the edges of the cover 21 and the connecting part 23, which extend opposite each other, and returns apply on the hinge 22.
A very good seal against bacteria and liquid is thus obtained, without discontinuity along the opening area of the upper shell.

Preferably, the sealing strip 5 is a peelable strip. Once the tape applied, it can be removed by pulling on it to peel it off. We by peelable means the fact that the tape does not tear when removed, 5 while the glue remains on the previously sealed area of the shells.
According to an exemplary embodiment, the sealing strip may be a strip iron-on, for example in non-woven synthetic material made from from polyethylene fibers, usually sold under the trademark 10 TYVE K.
Protective cap A protective cover 1 makes it possible to cover the cover 21 when said cover is

15 in a position, called the closed position, in which it hides the sealing tape 5. The cap can be moved, for example lifted according to the axis Ai, in a position away from the lower shell 3 to allow access to sealing tape 5.
In the closed position of the protective cap 1, the protective cap 1 protection is close to or in contact with the lower shell 3.
As explained below, the protective cap 1 can be made in two parts 1A, 1 B intended to be assembled together.
Linkage device A connecting device 4 is located between the protective cap 1 and the hood 21 of the upper shell 2. The connecting device 4 extends inside the headdress 1.
The connecting device 4 is configured to hold the cap 1 of protection linked to the cover 21 regardless of the position of the protective cover 1.

16 The connecting device 4 allows, in the open position of the cover 1 to protection, to keep the protective cap coupled to the hood. Otherwise said, the fairing can be lifted relative to the cover 21 and therefore to the hull lower 3, while remaining linked to the cover 21.
When the protective cap 1 is in the open position, the end top of the protective cover 1 is moved away from the cover 21, by comparison with the closed position of the protective cap 1 where the upper end of the protective cap 1 is then in the more close to the cover 21.
In the open position of the protective cap 1, the entire cap 1 protection and the linkage device 4 which remain linked to each other, form a lever arm coupled to the cover 21 which facilitates the opening of the cover 21. This arm lever is fixed to the cover 21 by the connection between the connection device 4 and the cover 21, and the free end of this lever arm is formed by the end upper of the protective cover 1. Such a lever arm coupled to the hood thus facilitates the opening of the cover 21 by pivoting the cover 21 and the arm of lever around axis A22 of hinge 22.
The connecting device 4 is rigid with respect to a force applied to the device link 4 to allow pivoting of the cover and of said locking device connection in a direction transverse to the axis Al and to the axis A22 of the hinge 22. By rigid is meant the fact that the structure of the connecting device 4 is adapted to transmit to the cover 21, all or part of a force applied to the linkage device 4 (directly or indirectly) in one direction transverse to the axis Al and to the axis A22 of the hinge 22, or according to a direction transverse to the mean plane in which extend the arms of the connection, for example a direction parallel to the folding axis of each arm, to rotate the cover 21 around the axis of the hinge.
In particular, in the examples illustrated in the figures, the control device link is

17 rigid with respect to a force applied to it in one direction transverse (or orthogonal) to its mean plane to cause the cover to pivot 21 around axis A22 of hinge 22.
Indeed, the rigidity of the connecting device 4, vis-à-vis a force which He is applied (via the protective cap 1 on which the operator exerts the force P1 as shown schematically in figure 8) which tends to open the cover 21, makes it possible to transmit this force to the cover 21 and therefore to make it pivot around of axis A22 the hinge 22.
Provision can be made for the connecting device 4 to be produced by a method injection molding in an intermediate position between the deployed position and the folded or contracted position, with for example a parting line passing through the average plane of the connecting device 4.
In the closed position of the protective cover 1 (Figure 6), the device link 4 is in a configuration of reduced dimension along the axis Ai, by comparison with its dimension when the cover 1 is in the open position.

In the example illustrated in particular in FIG. 5, it can thus be seen that the device link 4 is bent or contracted.
In said closed position, the protective cap 1 covers the strip 5 of sealing which protects it.
In the open position of the protective cover 1 (Figure 7), the device of link 4 is in a configuration of dimension along the axis Al greater by comparison with its dimension when the cap is in the position of closing.
In the example illustrated in particular in FIG. 7 or in FIG. 8, the device link 4 (not visible because of the protective cap) is deployed. In position opening of the protective cover 1 (i.e. in the raised position of the cover in relation to the lower shell) access to the sealing strip is

18 released, allowing an operator to remove it.
In the embodiment of Figures 16 to 27A, the linkage device 64 is configured to, in the open (raised) position of the cover 61, allow a pivoting of the connecting device 64 by a given angle, preferably 900 , so as to bring the edge 612 of the opening of the cap 61 into a stable position resting on the top of the cover 621. The pivoting of the device link 64 is a pivoting around an axis coincident or parallel to the axis Longitudinal al of the package. This pivotal mobility is made possible by the coupling system which includes a 6432 pin and a ring 6214 and which allows, in the deployed state of the link device 64 so that the hooking elements 6413, 6423 are released from the hooking elements 6217 correspondents, to leave pin 6432 (which is integral with the device of link 64) pivot relative to the ring 6214 which is integral with the cover 621.
This pivoted position of the connecting device 64 and therefore of the cover 61, who remains coupled to the connecting device 64 itself coupled to the cover 621, allows to keep the cover 61 above the cover 621, and therefore to benefit from a long and stable lever arm length.
Linkage arm In the example illustrated in Figures 1 to 15, the connecting device 4 understand two arms 41, 42. The two arms are interconnected by a cross member lower 43 and an upper cross member 44. Preferably, each crosses includes a stiffening rib. Preferably the device connection is in the reduced state (folded or compressed) in the initial position.
In the example illustrated more particularly in Figures 2 and 5, each arm 41, 42 has an elbow 411, 421. In other words, each arm 41, 42 has a general V shape. According to a particular aspect the elbow is located towards inside the connecting device 4, that is to say towards the inside of the frame deformable formed by the arms 41, 42 and the cross members 43, 44 of the

19 connection.
The arms 41, 42 are foldable and unfoldable at their elbow 411, 412.
the linkage device 4 is configured to allow deformation symmetrical of the two arms 41, 42 making it possible to switch from an unfolded position to a folded position while keeping the rigidity of the connecting device 4 vis-à-vis screw a force which would be exerted on the connecting device 4 in one direction transverse to the axis Al and to the axis A22 (or again in a direction transverse to the mean plane passing through the arms 41,42).
According to a particular aspect, each arm 41, 42 may have a thinning of material at the elbow 411, 421 to form folding initiators facilitating the passage of the connecting device 4 of its position folded or contracted to its unfolded or deployed position, and vice versa. In as a variant, it could also be a material recess.
According to one embodiment, as illustrated more particularly in the figures 2 and 5, each arm 41, respectively 42, has a fastening system 413, 415, respectively 423, 425, configured to hold the one against the other the two portions 422, 424, respectively 412, 414, of arms 42 which extend on either side of the elbow 421, respectively 411, in the folded position of the arm 42, respectively 41.
In the example illustrated more particularly in Figures 2 and 5, the system hooking thus comprises two hooks 413, 415 for the arm 41 and two hooks 423, 425 for the arm 42 able to cooperate with one another. The hooks are distributed on either side of the elbow of the corresponding arm.
The hooks of one arm cooperate with each other when folding the arm corresponding. The hooks can be disengaged from each other by elastic deformation when the connecting device 4 is subjected to an axial force (according to axis Al) greater than a threshold value which causes the arm to unfold corresponding.

Such a fastening system makes it possible to limit the risk of deformation of the cross members of the connecting device.
5 In the embodiment of Figures 16 to 27A where the connecting device has arms 641, 642, the attachment system described above is of preferably replaced by fastening elements 6413, 6423 intended for snap into the corresponding housings 6217 on the cover 621.
The fastening elements 6413, 6423 can be disengaged from the housings 6217 by elastic deformation when the connecting device 64 is subjected to a effort axial (along axis A1) greater than a threshold value which causes unfolding from corresponding arms 641, 642.
In the example of Figures 16 to 27A, the arms 641 and 642 which connect between they the sleepers 643 and 644 are angled outwards from the connecting device 64, that is to say towards the outside of the deformable frame formed by the arms and the cross members of the connecting device.
According to a particular aspect and in a manner similar to what has been described for the connecting device 4, the arms of the connecting device 64 also have from thinning or recessing of material so as to form primers folding facilitating the passage of the connecting device from its folded position Where contracted in its unfolded or deployed position, and vice versa.
Holding system The connection device 4 comprises a holding system 45 which makes it possible to keep the linkage device 4 in the folded configuration or contracted, corresponding to the closed position of the protective cover 1. the connecting device 4 thus makes it possible to maintain the protective cap in closed position.

However, the holding function of the holding system 45 remains can be deactivated when passing the protective cover 1 from its position closure to its open position to allow deployment of the device link 4.
In the example illustrated more particularly in Figures 2 and 5, the system of centering 45 includes a pin 441d0nt is provided with one 44 of the crosspieces which is able to cooperate with a corresponding housing (or barrel) 431 with which the other crosses 43.
Thus, in the closed position of the closure cap 1, that is to say in position closer to the fairing relative to the lower shell, the pin 441 is engaged by snapping into the housing (or barrel) 431, so that the crosspieces 43 and 44 are kept in a position close to each other.
The male 441 and female 431 members of the sleeper holding system 43 and 44 remain disengageable from each other by deformation elastic (unclipping), when the connecting device 4 is subjected to a axial force (corresponding to the effort to move the protective cap into position opening) which is greater than a threshold value which causes the separation from sleepers 43, 44 relative to each other.
According to a particular aspect, the connecting device is kept centered by compared to the cover 21 and / or the cover 1. In the example illustrated in the figures, the holding system 45 allows such centering of the connecting device 4 by compared to the cover and / or to the cover 21. Thus, according to a particular aspect, the pawn 441 and housing 431 are centered on the sleepers. It follows that, at state activated of the holding system 45, the crosspieces 44 and 43 are centered one on the other.
In particular, when opening the protective cap 1 which remains linked to cover 21 by the connecting device 4, the protective cover 1 pulls on the crosses 44 upper of the connecting device 4, which detaches the two members 431, 441 of the holding system 45 relative to each other. When moving of the protective cover 1, it remains attached to the upper cross member 44 of connecting device 4, and the lower cross member 43 of the connecting device 4 rest attached to the cover 21.
According to embodiments and as visible in the example illustrated in Figures 2 and 5, the connecting device 4 keeps in the folded position or contracted substantially the same axis of symmetry as that which it presents in position unfolded or deployed.
It is possible to provide an inverted distribution of the male element (pin) and of element female (housing) on the sleepers. Thus in the example illustrated in figures 16 at 27A, the connecting device 64 is provided with a holding system 645 which includes a pin 6431 with which one 643 of the crossbars (the one intended for be coupled to the cover 621) which is able to cooperate with a housing (or barrel) 6441 corresponding with which the other crosspiece 644 (the one intended to be coupled to the cap).
Assembly of the linkage device According to a particular aspect illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, the cover 21 has a insertion housing 214, which is preferably integrated into the height of the cover 21. The insertion housing 214 is provided on the outer face of its top wall.
In the example illustrated, the housing 214 is formed by a groove whose section delimits a passage in the general shape of a T or dovetail.
Advantageously, the groove opens out at at least one end to allow lateral insertion of the cross member 43 of the connecting device 4 in the groove (see figure 2), by relative displacement between the link 4 and the cover 21. As a variant, the insertion housing 214 may be formed by a reservation, provided with retaining clips, configured to receive and hold the cross member 43 of the connecting device 4 relative to the cover 21.
The cover 1 also has an insertion housing 14 intended to receive the upper cross member 44 of the connecting device 4. The insertion housing 14 is provided in the inner face of the upper part of the cap 1.
In particular, the cover 1 comprises two parts 1A, 1B which can be assembled one with the other, to enable the connection device 4 to be fitted (in especially the cross member 44) in the insertion slot 14 via a side opening of the part 1A which is provided with said insertion housing 14. Part 1B makes it possible to close the side opening of part 1A of the protective cap 1.
Part 1B has an orifice 101 to allow easy handling a heat-shrinkable plastic film that can be wrapped around the packaging to protect it from dust, or to allow gas exchange during gas sterilization, of the ethylene oxide type. In the mode of embodiment of Figure 22, the cap 61 also comprises a similar orifice referenced 6061.
As a variant, the insertion housing 14 can be formed by a reservation, provided with retaining clips, configured to receive and hold the crossmember of the connecting device 4 with respect to the protective cap 1.
As a variant, provision can be made for the connecting device 4 to be formed of a single part with the cover 21 or the protective cover 1.
The connecting device 4 is attached to part 1A of the cover 1 of protection by relative displacement of one with respect to the other. Preferably, the assembly of the connecting device 4 with the cover 21 is carried out before application of the sealing strip 5 on the slot 20.
In particular, provision can be made to assemble the connecting device 4 with the cover 21, apply the sealing strip 5 on the cover 21, then assemble part 1A of the protective cover 1 with the connecting device 4, and in end of close part 1A of the protective cap 1 with part 1B of the headdress protection.
As a variant, the connecting device 4 can be assembled with the cover 21 after application of the sealing strip 5 on the slot 20.
In the embodiment of Figures 16 to 27A, the specific system of to receive the connecting device 64 in the cover 61 comprises housing 614 reception provided in the two parts 61A, 61B of the cover (see figures 17 and 17A). These housings 614 are each able to receive a fin 644A (also called assembly fin) of the connecting device 64. In the example of figure 16, each fin is formed by a portion end of the cross member 644 of the connecting device 64.
In the example of FIG. 16, the protective cap 61 is produced by of them parts, preferably substantially symmetrical, with an assembly plane median which extends along the length of the cap 61 and perpendicular to the opening shot of this cap.
As recalled above, the connecting device 64 comprises fins assembly which are arranged orthogonally to the assembly plane of the two parts of the cover 61, in the assembled state of the connecting device with said parts of the cover 61. These assembly fins are arranged according to an axis which is parallel to the folding / unfolding axes of the arms 641, 642 of the connecting device 64. The connecting device 4 has a median plane in which extends the two arms 641, 642. The assembly fins are arranged on either side of this median plane.
According to one embodiment, the connecting device passes from the position scaled down in the deployed position by plastic deformation in order to avoid or limit a elastic return effect in reduced position.

In the examples illustrated in the figures, the connection device is presented under the shape of a body having a deformable closed contour. In position unfolded or deployed, the closed contour defines a through passage.

In the embodiment of Figures 16 to 27A, the linkage device 64 is coupled to the cover 621 by a coupling system, preferably by snap-fit, of a male element, such as a pin 6432, preferably provided on the cross member 643 on the outside, in a female element, such as a 10 housing for example formed by a ring 6214, preferably provided on the cover 621. In the example of FIG. 18, the pin 6432 is axially split and has a frustoconical end suitable for insertion with maintenance in the ring 6214.
15 The 6432/6214 coupling system, once activated, prevents removal of the connecting device 64 relative to the cover 621 by traction, but allows, to the deployed state of the linkage device 64, a pivoting of the connection 64 relative to the cover 621 around an axis coincident with or parallel to the axis A1, preferably according to a given angular range.
In the example of FIG. 20, the ring 6214 comprises on its upper face rails 6215 formed by curved grooves which are suitable for receiving lugs 6433 associated with the pin 6432 and provided on the connecting device 64.
The 6215 rails are used to guide a pivoting movement of the device connection 64 relative to the cover 621 by cooperation of the lugs 6433 of the connecting device 64 in the rails 6215 of the female element of the cover 621.
Holding means are provided to hold the connecting device 64 in a position rotated by a given angle relative to the cover 621, from preferably an angle of 90. In particular, in the example illustrated in figure 20, each rail comprises at one end a system for maintaining the lug, for example formed by a housing 6216 having a narrowing room of the rail before the end, so that, once passed this narrowing, the lug 6433 is held at this end of the rail 6215.
According to a particular aspect, each arm 641, 642 has an element hooking device 6413, 6423 configured for, in the folded position of the link 64, cooperate with a complementary fastening element 6217, such as than a slot made in a counter-form element present on the cover 621. These fastening elements 6413, 6423, 6217 make it possible to maintain the corresponding arm against the hood.
In the closed configuration of the cap 61, the cap 61 covers mostly, preferably completely, the cover 621, and the connecting device 64 is in folded configuration.
When the operator pulls on the cover 61 along the axis A1, the cover 61 is brought in the raised configuration with respect to the cover 621 by driving the link 64 in the deployed position. In this configuration simply lifting of the cover 61 (not yet rotated), in projection along the axis Al and in a plan orthogonal to the axis Ai, the outer contour of the cover 621 remains inside of outer contour of the cap 61.
In the raised configuration and rotated by a given angle, for example 900, of the cover 61 with respect to the cover 421 around the axis AI, the edge 612 of the opening (lower periphery) of the cover 61 is positioned resting on the cover 621, which maintains the cover 61 in the raised position relative to the hood 621 by preventing a descent of the cap 61.
In this raised and pivoted configuration of the cover 61, in projection according to the axis Al and in a plane orthogonal to the axis Ai, the outer contour of the cover 621 extends partly outside the outer contour of the cap 61.
This pivoted lift configuration of the cover 61 (which also causes the device connection in extended and pivoted configuration), thus making it possible to maintain cleared access for the user to the upper shell 62, and in particular to the sealing tape 5. The sealing tape can then be easily removed. the pivoting of the cover 61 above the cover 621 makes it possible to obtain a maximum and stable height of the cover 61, which makes it possible to form an arm of effective lever for opening the cover 621 by pivoting the assembly of the cover 61 and of the cover 621 with respect to the connecting part 23 of the shell upper 62 around the axis A22 of the corresponding hinge 22.
Deconditioning process Figures 6 to 11 describe different stages of an opening sequence of packaging 6.
Initially and as illustrated in FIG. 6, the protective cap 1 is in closed position. The protective cap 1 is close to the lower shell 3 and covers the sealing strip 5.
The operator pulls with a corresponding force Li (figure 7) on the cap 1 of protection so that the protective cap 1 rises in relation to the shell lower 3. The protective cover 1 is thus in the open position.
The effort Ll is exerted along the axis Al (longitudinal axis of the packaging).
The force Li makes it possible to deactivate the holding system 45 (FIG. 5) by pulling on the cross member 44 of the connecting device 4 which is fixed inside the headdress 1 protection, which disengages the male 441 and female 431 members one by one relation to each other. The system for attaching the arms 41, 42 is also deactivated by this effort Li so that the connecting device 4 accompanies the displacement of the cover 1 by unfolding its arms 41, 42. Preferably, the connecting device 4 undergoes plastic deformation, in particular at level of the arms, during the passage of the system formed by the folded arms to the state initial to the deployed state.
The sealing strip 5 is thus uncovered and can be removed as illustrated in Figure 8. The hinge 22 which connects the cover 21 to the connecting part 23 (and therefore to the lower shell 3) is then no longer constrained by the band of sealing.
The operator can thus apply a force to the protective cap 1 diagrammatically P1 in Figure 8 to rotate the cover 21 around the axis of the hinge 22. In particular, this force P1 is a force transverse to axis Al of the packaging and to the axis A22 of the hinge which is transmitted by the headdress 1 protection up to the cover 21 by the connection device 4, the structure it makes it rigid vis-à-vis such an effort. We can also note that the force P1 is transverse to the mean plane passing through the arms of the connecting device.
The connecting device 4 and the protective cap 1 thus form, in position opening, a lever arm on the cover 21. The force P1 applied to this arm of lever causes the pivoting PIV1 of the cover 21 shown in FIG. 9.
The operator can, as illustrated in figure 10, detach the cover 21, which is pivoted to the open position, relative to the connecting part 23, by pulling on the cover or cover until the hinge breaks. As a variant and as shown in figure 11, the operator can separate the cover 21, which is pivoted in open position, relative to the connecting part 23, by a movement of torsion by turning the hood or fairing around an axis transverse to the hinge until the hinge breaks.
The operator can then extract the object contained in the main hollow body remaining, which corresponds to the lower shell 3 and the connecting part 23.
We can also provide that the operator extracts the contained object without breaking the hinge 22.
As recalled above the extracted content can be another packaging (internal packaging), and / or a gripper coupled to an object (also called object holding system) or the object itself.
Figures 22 to 27A depict different steps of an opening sequence of packaging 66. The steps described above for packaging 6 are applicable to the package 66 with, in addition, a step of pivoting the cap 61 to keep it in the raised position above and resting on the cover 621.
Initially as shown in Figure 22, the cap 61 of the package 66 is in the closed position, the connecting device 64 being in the folded configuration (scaled down). The holding system 645 is active and the arms 641, 642 are kept coupled to the cover 621 by cooperation of the fastening elements 6413, 6423 with the corresponding 6217 elements.
As shown in Figure 23, to open the package 66, the user pulls on the cover 61 to separate it from the lower shell 3, and thus uncover the strip of sealing 5. The user thus exerts a force on the cap 61 according to a direction L1 parallel to axis A1. The displacement of the cap 61 causes the deployment of the link device 64 by deactivating the holding system 645 and the coupling together the fastening elements 6413, 6423, 6217.
Preferably and as illustrated in FIG. 24, the user pivots (arrow PIV61) the cover 61 around an axis parallel or coincident with the axis A1, thanks to To the pivot connection offered by the coupling system (pin 6432 / ring 6214) between the connecting device 64 and the cover 621. The user can Thus orient the cover 61 transversely, preferably orthogonally, to the hood 621 to bring the edge of the opening of the cover 61 to rest on the top of the cover 621 and thus maintain the distance between the cover 61 and the shell lower 3, which not only allows easy access to the sealing strip 5 without the cap 61 falling down, but also to obtain a large lever arm formed by the cover 61, connected to the cover by the connecting device 64, which is spaced from the axis A22 of the hinge and whose position is stable thanks to its pivoted position resting against the hood 621. The user can thus easily open the cover 621 with respect to the part link 23 using the cover 61 as a lever arm.
According to a particular aspect, the angle of the pivoted position of the cover 61 is maintained by engagement of the pins 6433 of the connecting device 64 in the retaining housings 6216 formed at one end of each of the rails 6215 ring 6214.
5 As shown in Figures 25 and 26, the user removes the tape from sealing 5, then pulls on the cover 61 in a direction transverse to the axis A1 and to axis A22 of the hinge, for example according to the direction Pl, to rotate the assembly of the cover 61 and the cover 621 in order to open the cover 621 by report to the hollow body 3.23. The coupling system 6432, 6214 between the 10 link 64 and the cover 621 allows the force to be transmitted to the cover 621 applied to the cover 61 (passing through the connecting device 64).
The operator can, as shown in figure 27, detach the cover 621, which is pivoted to the open position, relative to the connecting part 23, by pulling on the 15 cover or cover until the hinge breaks. As a variant and as shown in Figure 27A, the operator can separate the cover 621, which is rotated in open position, relative to the connecting part 23, by a movement of torsion by turning the cover 621 or the cover 61 about an axis transverse to the hinge until the hinge breaks.
Thanks to the connection device between the protective cap and the cover, when the the protective cap is moved to the open (raised) position, while being in further preferably pivoted relative to the cover for the embodiment Figures 16 to 27A, the protective cap remains linked to the cap by the device connection, while the connection device and the protective cap form a lever arm associated with the hood, the length of which has increased in relation to the closed position of the cover, which facilitates the opening of the cover with a effort reduced on the headdress.
This lever arm allows the operator, once the closing system took of, undone or broken, when present, to easily rotate the cover around of the hinge by applying a force to the end part of this arm of lever formed by the protective cap.
After opening the cover, and preferably detaching said cover, the contents (inner packaging or object), can be taken out of the packaging.
The distance of the cap from the hollow body in the open position of the cap not only makes it possible to form with the connecting device said arm lever connected to the cover, but also to have, after pivoting opening cover, easy access to the interior of the hollow body.
It is in fact possible to provide that, after opening, the cover and cover assembly is rotated around the axis of the hinge, for example at 1800, so that the operator's fingers which hold the hollow body and the packaging are discarded opening of the hollow body.
Detaching the cover, to which the cover remains attached, allows the cap relative to the remaining hollow body which houses the contents, to limit the risk of unexpected contact with said cap, which could generate a defect aseptic, when gripping the contents (inner packaging or object) and / or when out of the box.
The access area inside the container can thus be correctly clear, which allows the content to be entered without the risk of aseptic errors.
Thanks to the formed lever arm, when the protective cap is in position opening, by the whole of the protective cap and the connection, the force to be applied to the protective cap to rotate the cap is less important than that which should be applied directly to the cover the absence of the device for connecting the protective cap to the cover.
According to a particular aspect, a complete release of the cap (for example by pivoting through 180 around the axis of the hinge or by detaching by relative to the hollow body) allows the cover to be moved away from the access area corresponding to the space above the opening of the hollow body (i.e.

the output space of the content), which makes it possible to limit the risk of fault aseptic when picking up the object, which may be in packaging internal.
A lack of asepsis could indeed result from the immediate proximity of a residual part of the coping near the operator's fingers sterile (through example the sterile nurse or the surgeon).
Linkage device variants According to an alternative embodiment illustrated in FIG. 13, the device for connection is referenced 134 and comprises two telescopic arms 1341, 1342.
The possibility of varying the height of the arms along the axis Al results so that the possibility of bringing out the elements of each telescopic arm Mon compared to the other, while in the version with elbow (figures 1 to 9), the height variation results from the possibility of folding / unfolding the arms at elbow level.
In the example illustrated in Figures 1 to 9 presented above, the crosspieces of the linkage device are elements of the linkage device distinct from the protective cap and hood. As a variant, it can be provided that these sleepers are formed by parts of the protective cover 1 and / or the cover 21.
We can in particular provide that the arms of the connecting device are directly connected to the protective cover 1 and to the cover 21.
Thus, in the example illustrated in FIG. 12, the connection device (reference 124) comprises a part forming an upper cross member and it can be considered that the lower cross member is formed by the upper part of the cover 21 to which are linked the arms (referenced 1241, 1242) of the link device.
In the example illustrated more particularly in Figures 2 and 5, the device link 4 and the cover 21 are separate parts. According to different modes of embodiment, the connecting device 4 and the cover 21 can be formed of a one piece.

Similarly, in the example shown in Figure 13, it can be considered that the lower cross member is formed by the upper part of the cover 21 to which are linked the arms (referenced 1341, 1342) of the link device.
