PACKET FOR LOOSE ITEMS, CORRESPONDING BLANK, AND METHOD OF FOLDING THE BLANK

摘要

A rigid packet for loose tablet-type sweets or chewing gum is composed of an outer casing (2) , and an inner casing (3) with a small opening (4) , accommodated slidably in the outer casing (2) . The packet (1) can shift between a closed configuration in which the opening (4) is concealed completely by the outer casing (2) , and an open configuration in which the opening (4) is at least partly exposed, allowing the contents to be dispensed. The outer and inner casings (2, 3) are interconnected by a mechanism (12) designed to stabilize the packet (1) in each of the two configurations, ensuring it will neither open accidentally when not in use nor close accidentally as the contents are being dispensed.
