Protective cap or container with lid and spring-loaded opening

A protective container with a resilient opening, the container comprising:

• a top part and a bottom part connected to each other along edges of adjacent hinge sides thereof via one or more film joints such that the top and bottom parts pivot between an open state and a closed state about a pivot axis;
• a latching device arranged between the top part and the bottom part at lateral walls thereof, wherein the latching device is configured to maintain the top part and the bottom part in the closed state when the latching device is engaged;
• and
• a joint arrangement comprising a resilient body and a pair of flaps made from an elastomeric material, wherein the resilient body is fastened via the flaps on the adjacent hinge sides of the top and bottom parts,
• wherein the top part is biased into the open state via the resilient body such that upon actuation of the latching device the top part pivots open from the bottom part under the force of resilience of the resilient body and remains in the open state,
• wherein the resilient body continues with the flaps formed from the same material in the form of an elastomer connection web into an interior of each of the top part and the bottom part.
