Package

Abstract

A package comprising a housing and a slide being slidably in a sliding direction accommodated in the housing from a locked position wherein the slide is locked inside the housing and at least an intermediate position wherein the slide is partly located outside a front opening of the housing. The housing comprises at least a bottom wall, a top wall and longitudinal side walls extending in the sliding direction, whereby the bottom wall and the top wall are connected to each other by means of the side walls. The slide is provided with at least one extension lockable under spring force in the locked position in a recess located in the top wall of the housing near a rear end of the housing. The at least one extension is movable against spring force out of the recess to allow the slide to be movable to at least the intermediate position. The front opening of the housing is rectangular. The slide is provided with a rectangular wall forming a closure wall of the rectangular front opening of the housing in the locked position. The housing is provided with at least one passage, through which a rear side of the slide is reachable for pushing the slide from the locked position towards the intermediate position.

1 . A package comprising a housing and a slide being slidably in a sliding direction accommodated in the housing from a locked position wherein the slide is locked inside the housing and at least an intermediate position wherein the slide is partly located outside a front opening of the housing, which housing comprises at least a bottom wall, a top wall and longitudinal side walls extending in the sliding direction, whereby the bottom wall and the top wall are connected to each other by means of the side walls, whereby the slide is provided with at least one extension lockable under spring force in the locked position in a recess located in the top wall of the housing near a rear end of the housing, whereby the at least one extension is movable against spring force out of the recess to allow the slide to be movable to at least the intermediate position, wherein the front opening of the housing is rectangular, wherein the slide is provided with a rectangular wall forming a closure wall of the rectangular front opening of the housing in the locked position, wherein the housing is provided with at least one passage, through which a rear side of the slide is reachable for pushing the slide from the locked position towards the intermediate position, after the at least one extension has been moved against spring force out of the recess. 
     
     
         2 . A package according to  claim 1 , wherein the bottom wall, the top wall and/or the side wall of the housing is provided with the at least one passage. 
     
     
         3 . A package according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one passage is located near the recess. 
     
     
         4 . A package according to  claim 1 , wherein the top wall of the housing is provided with a flexible lip being pivotable with respect to the top wall, which flexible lip cooperate with the at least one extension to move the at least one extension out of the corresponding recess. 
     
     
         5 . A package according to  claim 1 , wherein the top wall of the housing is provided with a flap folded inside the housing, which flap is located seen in the sliding direction near a front side of the housing, whereby the flap cooperates with the at least one extension of the slide the slide to prevent the slide from being completely slide out of the housing. 
     
     
         6 . A package according to  claim 1 , wherein the housing and/or slide are made of a carton blank or plastic. 
     
     
         7 . A package according to  claim 6 , wherein the housing is made of a carton blank whereby after folding of the blank into the housing, the top wall and the bottom wall each comprises at least two parts of the blank located on top of each other, whereby the part directed to the inside of the housing is provided with the recess. 
     
     
         8 . A package according to  claim 4 , wherein at least the part directed to the outside of the housing is provided with the flexible lip. 
     
     
         9 . A package according to  claim 8 , wherein the part directed to the inside of the housing is also provided with the flexible lip, whereby the flexible lips of the parts directed to the outside and inside of the housing are connected to each other, whereby the flexible lip of the part directed to the inside of the housing is larger that the flexible lip of the part directed to the outside of the housing.
