Abstract
The present disclosure describes a container, applicator device, or apparatus with one or more product holders that rotate open via a set of connecting hinges located on either the faces or sides, and containing a locking system located on front or back faces of the container. The device opens by rotating a lever, with an attached cover, in the direction of the face, and using the connecting hinges to lift out the product through an orifice.
Claims20
An apparatus having an apparatus closed position and an apparatus open position, the apparatus comprising:
- a container comprising a plurality of container surfaces, a cavity within the plurality of container surfaces, an orifice through which the cavity is accessible, and at least one slot in at least one of the plurality of container surfaces;
- a lever system comprising a cover, a surface extending from the cover, and a hinge mechanism on the surface, wherein the cover is configured to cover the orifice in the apparatus closed position;
- and
- a complementary hinge mechanism coupled with the hinge mechanism of the lever system to form a hinge through the at least one slot of the container, the hinge configured to permit the container and the lever system to rotate relative to each other between the apparatus closed position and the apparatus open position and configured to slide along the at least one slot in the apparatus open position,
- wherein the cover of the lever system comprises one of a locking peg or a locking hole, and the container further comprises the other of the locking peg or the locking hole, and
- wherein the locking hole receives the locking peg in the apparatus closed position to prevent the hinge from sliding along the at least one slot in the apparatus closed position.

An apparatus having an apparatus closed position and an apparatus open position, the apparatus comprising:
- a container comprising a plurality of container surfaces, a cavity within the plurality of container surfaces, an orifice through which the cavity is accessible, and at least one slot in a front container surface or a back container surface of the plurality of container surfaces;
- a lever system comprising a cover, a plurality of other surfaces, and a hinge mechanism on one of the plurality of other surfaces, wherein the cover is configured to cover the orifice in the apparatus closed position;
- and
- a complementary hinge mechanism coupled with the hinge mechanism of the lever system to form a hinge through the at least one slot of the container, the hinge configured to permit the container and the lever system to rotate relative to each other between the apparatus closed position and the apparatus open position and configured to slide along the at least one slot in the apparatus open position,
- wherein a surface of the plurality of other surfaces of the lever system comprises one of a locking peg or a locking hole, and the front container surface or the back container surface of the container comprises the other of the locking peg or the locking hole, and
- wherein the locking hole receives the locking peg in the apparatus closed position to prevent the hinge from sliding along the single slot in the apparatus closed position.

- side container surfaces, wherein the at least one slot is in the front container surface or the back container surface;
- a lever system comprising a cover, a surface extending from the cover, and a hinge mechanism on the surface, wherein the cover is configured to cover the orifice in the apparatus closed position;
- and
- a complementary hinge mechanism coupled with the hinge mechanism of the lever system to form a hinge through the at least one slot of the container, the hinge configured to permit the container and the lever system to rotate relative to each other between the apparatus closed position and the apparatus open position and configured to slide along the at least one slot in the apparatus open position.
