Abstract (en)

A packaging (1) comprising a container (3) provided with an article take-out opening (4), a push member (8) for articles (2), which is connected to a pull element (9) having a longitudinal axis, and which push member is slidably arranged between a first end (6) of the container and a second end (5) of the container, and wherein the pull element extends between the push member and said first end of the container, and the push member is provided with a push surface (11) which projects laterally, a stabilization element (12) attached to the push member, which ensures that during movement of the push member with the concomitant displacement of the products present in the container, the angle included by said push surface and the longitudinal axis of the pull element remains sufficiently small to prevent products present in the container from falling over, wherein the stabilization element is compressible in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the pull element to an extent such that a state is reached where the thickness of the stabilization element is equal to the thickness of one or several layers of plate material, and the packaging is provided with spring means which pre-tension the push member, in the compressed state thereof, in the direction of an expanded state. The stabilization element may have an inverted V-shape.
