  • Patent number: 11767147
    Abstract: A package including: a case having a bottom and a peripheral rim composed of panels and a lid. The package is collapsible between: a flat configuration, in which the panels and the lid extend substantially parallel to the bottom and a use configuration in which the case defines a storage volume, and in which the lid is movable between a storage volume access position and a storage volume closed position. The package includes a locking mechanism, first mechanism for locking the lid in its closed position, and second mechanism for locking the package in its flat configuration.

  • Patent number: 11434039
    Abstract: A package comprising a case defining a stowing volume, and a cover intended to close the stowing volume of the case, the case having a bottom and a peripheral rim which can adopt a stowed position in which it extends substantially parallel to the bottom and a use position in which it extends substantially perpendicular to the bottom. The case comprises a rigid element connected to the first panel and to the third panel by an elastic connection, the rigid element being movable between a storage position in which the rigid element is located near the bottom and a use position in which the rigid element is spaced from the bottom, the elastic connection tending to displace the rigid element from its storage position to its use position.
