Single-piece articulated assembly

A one piece molded assembly comprising:

• a first part;
• a second part integral with said first part, said first part including at least one first member engageable with at least one second member formed by the second part so as to form an articulation of said first part and said second part about an axis;
• and
• at least one linking strip connected to said first and second parts to provide a spring-effect assist for opening and closing of the assembly about said axis, said linking strip crossing said axis in an intermediate position between an open position and a closed position of the assembly;
• wherein said first part comprises a body to be mounted on a container, said body delimiting at least one exit passage of said container, said second part comprising a cap capable of temporarily closing said exit passage.

A one piece molded assembly comprising:

• a first part;
• a second part integral with said first part, said first part including at least one first member engageable with at least one second member formed by the second part so as to form an articulation of said first part and said second part about an axis;
• and
• at least one linking strip connected to said first and second parts to provide a spring-effect assist for opening and closing of the assembly about said axis, said linking strip crossing said axis in an intermediate position between an open position and a closed position of the assembly;
• wherein said first part comprises a receptacle delimiting at least one compartment capable of containing a product, the second part forming a lid capable of covering said compartment.

A molded assembly comprising:

• a first part, said first part including at least one compartment associated therewith, wherein said compartment is capable of containing a product, said first part further including at least one first member associated therewith;
• a second part, said second part including a lid capable of covering said at least one compartment, said second part further including at least one second member associated therewith;
• wherein said first member and said second member are engageable to form an articulation of said first part and said second part about an axis;
• said assembly further including at least one linking strip connecting said first and second parts to provide a spring-effect to assist in at least one of opening and closing of said assembly about said axis, said linking strip crossing said axis in an intermediate position between an open position and a closed position of the assembly.
