  • the lifting element 80, 81, 82 articulates the inner portion 50 relative to the outer box portion 20 along a second hinge line 44 connecting the inner portion bottom wall 54 and the outer portion bottom wall 24.
  • the second hinge line 44 may be parallel with the first hinge line 40.
  • the lifting element 80 has a relaxed state when the lid is in the open position and a compressed state when the lid is in the closed position, and the lifting element 80 resiliently moves between the compressed state and the relaxed state.
  • the lifting element 80 moves to the relaxed state and at the same time props up the inner portion 50 relative to the outer box portion 20.
  • the lifting element 81 in FIG. 3 is a folded substrate element that operates like a spring.
  • the folded substrate comprises as least 2, or at least 3 fold lines.
  • the lifting element 82 in FIG. 4 is a foam element that operates like a spring.
  • the lifting element 82 has a trapezoid cross-sectional shape, for example.
  • the container 10 further includes a locking element 72 on the outer box bottom wall 24 configured to engage a lid portion lock-mating element 74 on the lid portion bottom wall 34 and secure the lid 30 in the closed position. Closing the lid portion 30 compresses the lifting element 80 and returns it to the compressed state. Unlocking the lid portion lock- mating element 74 from the locking element 72 releases the lifting element 80 and the lifting element independently moves to the relaxed state and at the same time props up the inner portion 50 relative to the outer box portion 20.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates the lifting element 80 depending from the inner portion back wall 52 along a lifting element first fold line 81.
  • a first lifting element flap 85 connects to the inner portion back wall 52 along the lifting element first fold line 81.
  • a second lifting element flap 86 connects to the first lifting element flap 85 along a lifting element second fold line 82.
  • a third lifting element flap 87 connects to the second lifting element flap 86 along a lifting element third fold line 83.
  • the first lifting element flap 85, second lifting element flap 86 and third lifting element flap 87 are folded onto each other to form the lifting element 80, as illustrated in FIG. 3 as element 81.
  • the third lifting element flap 87 is parallel with and contacts the outer box portion back wall 22.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates an inner portion hinge flap 59 that forms the second hinge line 44 when the inner portion hinge flap 59 is fixed to the outer box portion.
  • the inner portion hinge flap 59 is fixed to the outer box portion bottom wall 24.
  • FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 illustrate the inner portion hinge flap 59 fixed to an inner surface of the outer box portion bottom wall 24 and forming the second hinge line 44.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un récipient pour biens de consommation qui comprend une partie interne reçue à l'intérieur d'une partie boîte externe et un mécanisme de soulèvement qui facilite un accès facile à des biens de consommation reçus sur la partie interne ou à l'intérieur de la partie interne. Le mécanisme de soulèvement utilise la mémoire de forme pour soulever la partie interne à partir d'un côté supérieur du récipient adjacent à la ligne d'articulation de couvercle et la partie interne s'articule le long d'une ligne d'articulation le long du côté inférieur du récipient. Les biens de consommations, tels que des articles à fumer, sont longitudinalement orthogonaux à la ligne d'articulation.
