Abstract (en)

There is provided a container (10) for consumer goods, the container (10) comprising an outer box portion (12), an inner portion (16) for receiving consumer goods, a lid portion (14) and a lifting mechanism (40) for lifting the inner portion (16) when the lid portion (14) is opened. The lifting mechanism (40) comprises a first panel (42) having a length, A, substantially the same as a height of the outer box portion (12). A first end of the first panel (42) depends from the lid portion (14) along a hinge line (44), which is spaced along the lid portion (14) from the top of an outer box portion back wall (22) by a distance, X . The lifting mechanism (40) further comprises a second panel (46) having a first end depending along a first fold line (48) from a second end of the first panel (42), and a second end depending from an inner portion bottom wall (38) along a hinge line (50). A distance, Y , between the first fold line (48) and a top edge of an inner portion front wall varies when the lid portion (14) is moved between the open and closed positions so that the distance, Y, has a maximum value, Y(max), and a minimum value, Y(min). The dimensions of the container (10) are such that they satisfy the inequality A - X + Y(min) > L, wherein L is the length of the container (10).
