  • Patent number: 11939106
    Abstract: A foldable package includes a box defining a stowage volume, the box having a bottom and a peripheral rim including: a first panel; a second panel opposite to the first panel; a third panel; a fourth panel opposite to the third panel. The box is able to adopt: a stowage configuration in which each panel extends substantially parallel to the bottom; and an operating configuration in which each panel, of the second panel, of the third panel and of the fourth panel extends substantially perpendicular to the bottom. The package further includes a mechanism for returning the first panel and the second panel into the operating position, tending to make them pass from their stowage position to their operating position in the inactive position of the locking mechanism.

  • Patent number: 11857048
    Abstract: Mechanism for opening/closing an opening leaf with respect to a frame. The mechanism is configured to cause, upon opening, a lifting of the opening leaf from a closure plane to an opening plane parallel to the closure plane, followed by a pivoting of the opening leaf about a pivot axis orthogonal to the translational movement of the opening leaf, and vice versa upon closing. The mechanism comprises: a fixed frame; a movable frame mounted translationally on the fixed frame; a hinge part mounted in a pivoting manner on the movable frame and coupled to a mechanism for attachment to the opening leaf; an actuator comprising an output member which can be actuated in a direction orthogonal to the pivot axis of the opening leaf; and a transmission that comprises a transmission link coupled in a pivoting manner to the output member, and to the hinge part.
