Abstract: A method is disclosed for molding lids for containers of the kind of those intended for holding tiny articles such as dragees, pills, tablets and the like. The lid is molded with the drawer which is intended for masking and ummasking an article-dispensing port, in a position which is different from the normal operative position of the drawer, so as to exploit the resiliency of the plastics material for having the drawer preloaded and causing it to press against the article-dispensing port when the latter is masked by the drawer. A small force is only required to lift the drawer and to swing it so as to unmask the article-dispensing port.

Abstract: A plural-tier display stand for pill-boxes and like articles is disclosed, which is composed by two stand-halves to be brought together for assembly in a mirror-image-like relationship, i.e. back-to-back. Each stand-half is composed, in its turn, by two uprights to be connected by downward sloping tiers, and each tier has perforations to receive the individual pill-boxes. By providing an upward projecting tab on every second tier beneath every second perforation in a row of the overlying tier, it is possible to display the pill-boxes of each row at staggered levels to facilitate grasping and withdrawal of the boxes.

Abstract: This invention relates to a container for distributing solid loose products such as lozenges, sugar coated sweets and the like. According to the invention the container comprises a containing body and a closure lid, which is formed by an at least partially resilient plastics material. The upper base of the lid includes a delivery port, which is closed by a flap element formed as a single piece with the remaining part of said upper base. Said remaining part is elastically deformable between rest and delivery positions in which said flap element closes and opens said delivery port, respectively.

Abstract: A container is disclosed for dispensing loose, solid, small size articles, like tablets, pills and other confectionary products, comprising a casing and a closure device, the latter including a lid member having a portion extending beyond the hinge axis between the lid and the casing, and operating means pivoted to the container and adapted to engage said portion of the lid, whereby on actuating said operating means the lid is opened by rotating around the hinge axis, the lid being further urged towards its closure condition by elastic means.
