  • the outlet opening 13 for taking out the food articles 3 may be made in one of the side panels 6 - for example, the first flank 10 or the second flank 11.
  • the packet 1 of this specification comprises a lid 12 for opening and closing the outlet opening 13 to take out the food articles 3.
  • the lid 12 is a hinged lid, that is to say, it has a hinge line 15 about which it turns to pass from a closed position to an open position of the opening 13, and vice versa.
  • the hinge line 15 is contiguous with one of the side panels 6 of the packet 1 , specifically the rear panel 9.
  • the lid 12 is hinged to one of the side panels 6, specifically the rear panel 9 - see Figure 1. More specifically, according to this specification, the hinge line 15 is disposed along the long side of the rear panel 9.
  • the lid 12 comprises a top panel 16 forming the top wall 16 of the packet 1 when the lid 12 is in the closed condition.
  • the top panel 16 of the lid 12 is hinged to the containment body 2 along the hinge line 15.

  • the edge 18 of the top panel 16 is located on the side opposite the hinge line 15.
  • the front panel 17 engages at least part of the containment body 2.
  • the lid 12 comprises a first and a second side panel 19, 20, contiguous with the top panel 16 along respective fold lines defining edges 21 , 22 of the top panel 16 and disposed opposite each other.
  • the first and the second side panel 19, 20 are contiguous with the front panel 17 along edges 27, 28, respectively.
  • the top panel 16, the front panel 17 and the first and second side panels 19, 20 form a lid with a "cupped" shaped.
  • the packet 1 comprises a receptacle 23 for collecting the articles 3 which have come out of the opening 13.
  • the receptacle 23 has a base wall 24 for supporting the articles 3 and a plurality of side walls 25 to prevent the articles 3 from falling out of the receptacle 23.
  • the opening 13 is in communication with the base 24 of the collecting receptacle 23.
  • the receptacle 23 which collects the articles from the opening 13 is defined by the lid 12 of the packet 1 when it is open. More specifically, the top panel 16 of the lid 12 defines the base 24 of the receptacle 23.
  • the front panel 17 and the first and second side panels 19, 20 define the side walls 25 of the collecting receptacle 23.
  • top panel 16 specifically the inside surface 16a of the top panel 16 acts as a stop element for stopping the article 3 which comes out through the opening 13.
  • inside surface 16a of the top panel 16 is meant the surface of the top panel 16 that faces the top panel 5 of the containment body 2 when the lid 12 is in the closed position.
  • the consumer moves the lid 12 to the open position, specifically by moving the top panel 16 of the lid 12 into alignment with the side panel 6 it is hinged to and tilts the packet 1 until a single article 3 comes out through the opening 13 of the containment body 2 and settles in the collecting receptacle 23 from where it can be withdrawn for consumption - see Figure 3.
  • the packet 1 according to this invention allows taking out one article 3 at a time, thanks to the opening 13 of the containment body 2, and holding it in a collecting receptacle 23 formed in the packet 1 until the moment it is consumed and using only one hand, without having to use the other to pick up the articles 3.
  • the receptacle 23 for collecting the articles 3 is located in the containment body 2 of the packet 1.
  • the base 24 of the receptacle 23 is defined by the top panel 5 of the containment body 2 and the side walls 25 by respective side panels 26 extending from the top panel 25.
  • each side panel 26 is disposed in contact with a respective portion of the inside surface of a side panel 6 of the containment body 2.
  • the top panel 5 of the containment body 2 is positioned within the containment body 2, at a level below the perimeter edges 7 of the side panels 6 which, when the lid 12 is opened, are in view.
  • the top panel 5 is positioned at a certain depth from the perimeter edges 7 of the side panels 6 or relative to the hinge 15 of the lid 12.
  • the depth of the top panel 5 is such as to allow accommodating at least one article 3.
  • the collecting receptacle 23 above the base 24 is open; when the lid 12 is at the closed position, the collecting receptacle 23 is closed by the lid 12 itself.
  • the lid 12 may comprise only the top panel 16 and the front panel 17, without necessarily comprising the first and second side panels 19 and 20, since its function is not that of a collecting receptacle 23. According to this variant, when the lid 12 is at the closed position, the top panel 16 acts as a stop which prevents the article 3 which has come out through the opening 13 from falling out.
  • the consumer keeps the lid 12 at the closed position and turns the packet 1 upside down so that a single article 3 comes out through the opening 13 of the containment body 2 and stops against the top panel 16 of the lid 12 - see Figure 5.
  • the single article 3 can be taken out with one hand only.
  • the opening 13 of the top panel 5 is disposed along an edge 14 of the top panel 5 facing the lid 12.
  • the edge 14 of the top panel 5 coincides with the hinge line 15 of the lid 12.
  • the edge 14 of the top panel 5 is disposed below the hinge line 15 of the lid 12.
  • the packet 1 according to this invention allows the articles 3 to be taken out of the containment body 2 without the consumer putting their fingers inside the containment body 2 and, thanks to the collecting receptacle 23, without dropping the articles 3 onto the palm of their hand.
