摘要:
The invention relates to the field of packaging for a consumable product, the packaging being provided with a wall (15) provided with an orifice (13). The packaging is fitted with an opening and closing device (1) comprising a single-piece body (2) of molded material fastened on the wall (15), the body (2) comprising a plate (20) with a first hole (30) placed facing the orifice (13) and fastened to the edge (19) of the orifice (13) in the wall (15) in sealed manner, and a hatch (40) hinged to the plate (20), the hatch opening towards the inside of the packaging and being suitable for covering the first hole (30) in a closed position, the device (1) further including an arm (50) connected to the hatch (40), the arm (50) co-operating with position blocking means for holding the hatch (40) in a closed position, and for releasing the hatch (40) to pivot towards the inside of the packaging when it is disengaged from the blocking means, the device (1) further including a cap (80) that is distinct from the body (2) and from the arm (50), and that is provided with a safety capsule (100, 104) that is to be broken on first opening of the hatch (40) such that if the safety capsule is intact, it is guaranteed that the packaging has not been opened previously, the capsule forming a portion of the blocking means. The hatch (40) is provided with a second hole (70) providing communication between the inside and the outside of the packaging, and the arm (50) is provided with a gasket (57) that shuts the second hole (70) in sealed manner when the arm (50) co-operates with the blocking means, such that in the closed position, the device (1) closes the packaging in sealed manner, the gasket (57) releasing the second hole (70) when the arm (50) is disengaged from the blocking means and the pivot angle β of the arm relative to its closed position is greater than a strictly positive threshold angle β0.

The present invention is a latching mechanism and a container employing that latching mechanism, where the container has a lid that is attached to the rear of the container and can be rotated upward from the front. The latch includes an arm that attaches to the walls of the container with a protrusion extending above and abutting a portion of the top of the lid to latch it in place. The latch includes an arm abutment attached to the container above the arm attachment point so that when inward force is applied to the container below the arm, the arm rotates about the arm abutment causing the protrusion to no longer abut the lid, so that the lid can be opened. Such pressure may be applied by lifting arms attached to a garbage truck.

An apparatus for storing one or more electrodes for an automatic external defibrillator includes inter alia a cavity and a lid. The cavity accepts the one or more electrodes and includes at least one vertical surface. A top lateral edge surface of the cavity meets the at least one vertical surface and has a first end with at least one hole. At least one ridge extends horizontally out from the at least vertical surface of the cavity. The lid is detachably attached to the cavity and includes a bottom surface that faces the top lateral edge surface of the cavity, as well as at least one protrusion that extends into the hole in the top lateral edge surface when the lid is attached to the cavity. The hole and the protrusion form a hinge structure at a hinged end of the lid and cavity. A handle is rotatably mounted to the lid opposite the hinged end. The handle includes a camming surface, which engages the ridge to create separation between the lid and the cavity as the handle is rotated from its closed position to its open position. A seal is fixed to the bottom surface and is also removably fixed to the top lateral edge surface of the cavity, thereby forming a sealed enclosure with the cavity in which the electrodes are disposed when the lid is attached to the cavity. As the handle is rotated from its closed position to its open position the seal is simultaneously peeled from the top lateral edge surface of the cavity.
