AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0010]The packaging device hereof presents both the advantages of threadable housings in terms of sealing closure, and the advantages of articulated housings, in terms of ease and comfort of use.

[0011]The packaging device hereof makes it possible to ensure the re-covering of the receptacle by means of a non-moveable piece in rotation while the cover is being threadably closed, thus ensuring a better seal for the device and guaranteeing a better protection for the packaged product.

Problems solved by technology

Such a housing, which is easily created, does not ensure sufficient sealing for certain applications.

Other than the relatively important blockage, this housing suffers from a major disadvantage due to the complexity thereof, the difficulty in use, in particular in opening, as well as in it's fragility and cost.
