Abstract: An applicator and dispensing device adapted to enclose a solid product within a holder which is enclosed by an outer shell. The outer shell can rotate relative to the holder via a hinge and then push a support cup that contains the product along a channel and through an orifice in the holder, thus exposing the product for use. In an embodiment, the holder contains an indentation or hole that locks with a corresponding peg located the outer shell when closed. In an embodiment, the holder and outer shell are prevented from moving longitudinally relative to one another by virtue of configuring the lower position of the guideway such that it beneficially locks with the guide when the device is in a closed position.

Abstract: In accordance with aspects of the present disclosure, an apparatus includes a holder having a flexible sheet with a foldable portion that is foldable along an axis to form an upper portion and a lower portion of the flexible sheet, wherein the upper portion contains at least one magnet embedded therein and the lower portion contains at least one magnet embedded therein. The apparatus further includes at least one rigid container dimensioned to fit within the holder when the holder is folded, where the rigid container includes at least a first magnet with the first magnet located to engage the at least one magnet embedded in the lower portion of the holder and the at least one magnet embedded in the upper portion of the holder.

Abstract: A device comprising a base having a first top surface and a first bottom surface, a first magnetic or similar component, and a first attachment component; a cover having a second top surface and a second bottom surface, a first magnetic or similar coupling component, and a second attachment component, the second bottom surface configured to mate with the first top surface; wherein the first and second magnetic components are placed so as to hold the cover onto the base and to act as a swivel hinge, and wherein the first and second attachment components are configured to engage the base to the cover when the device is in an open position.

Abstract: A magnetic hinge defining a hinge axis includes first and second hinge plates of non-magnetic material and first and second magnets disposed therein, respectively, for movement therewith. The plates are generally parallel and independently pivotable about the hinge axis between a closed orientation, wherein the plates are essentially superposed, and an open orientation, wherein the plates are essentially not superposed. The first and second magnets are essentially superposed, generally coaxial with the hinge axis, and in the same magnetic orientation.
