Abstract (en)

A container for containing miscellaneous products, of the type in which a base (11) and a lid (13) are hinged together and provided, at a point opposite the hinging point, with a snap-closure system consisting of a retention tooth (22) provided on the lid (13) for snap-engaging in a seat (23) provided in the base (11). According to the invention, with said base (11) there is associated an elastically yieldable intermediate element (12) in which said seat (23) for the retention tooth (22) is provided, said element (12) being movable relative to the base (11) along a first axis a-a joining the hinging system to the snap-closure system, by applying two opposing forces to the element (12) along a second axis b-b intersecting the first axis a-a, resulting in release of the retention tooth (22) from its engagement with the seat (23). <IMAGE>
