Embodiment Construction

[0025] see Figure 1 to Figure 2 , embodiments of the present invention include a package 10 for an edible product 12, such as a gum piece, candy, or other discrete piece product. Package 10 includes a container 14 having a closure 16 disposed thereon. The closure 16 includes a lid 18 that is movable between an open position and a closed position to selectively allow access to the product 12 within the container.

[0026] Container 14 may preferably be formed from a rigid material capable of maintaining the shape of the container. The container may be formed from a plastic material such as high density polyethylene (HDPE) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET). It is also contemplated that the container may be formed from a flexible material that can be deformed by the user. Container 14 has an open end 20 that defines an opening 22 into a container interior 23 within which product 12 is contained. The container may have a generally flat bottom surface 24 that allows the cont...

Abstract

A package including a container having an open end defining an opening into a container interior adapted to hold consumable product. A closure is disposed on the container open end and has a base and a lid pivotally secured thereto. The lid is movable between an open position, wherein the container opening is uncovered to provide access to the container interior, and a closed position wherein the container opening is covered. The closure further includes a latch mechanism for selectively securing the lid in the closed position and releasing it therefrom, and a biasing device extending between the lid and the base and urging the lid to the open position. The biasing device has a first end slidably engagable with the base and a second end fixedly secured to the lid.
