  • Publication number: 20110062175
    Abstract: A slide action type hinged-lid package (2) includes an inner case (6) having a lid (4), and an outer body (8) slidably accommodating the inner case. The outer body has an opening (46) formed through a front wall thereof (40) and allowing the inner case to be partly exposed, and a contact piece (48) provided at the rear edge of an upper open end thereof (38) and extending toward the interior of the outer body. The inner case has a reinforcing member arranged on the inside of a front wall thereof (14) which is exposed through the opening, and a strip (34) connected to the rear part of the lid and capable of engaging with the contact piece. When the inner case is slid up relative to the outer body, the engagement between the strip and the contact piece causes the lid to open and also regulates the amount of sliding of the inner case.
