Patent ID: 8156948

Claim:
A device for containing a product, comprising: a plurality of stacked sections pivotable with respect to each other about an axis and a locking device to secure a first of the plurality of stacked sections with a second of the plurality of stacked sections in an opened position, wherein the sections are substantially aligned with each other when the device is in a closed position, wherein the sections are not aligned with each other when the sections are pivoted with respect to each other in a direction transverse to the axis such that the device is in the opened position, wherein a first section of the plurality of stacked sections is stacked over a second of the plurality of stacked sections, the second stacked section including a side wall having an inner surface facing an interior of the second stacked section, and an outer surface facing an exterior of the second stacked section, wherein the second of the plurality of stacked sections holds a product application device, an opening of the second section being not parallel to the pivot axis, wherein the product application device has a gripping portion and an application portion, wherein the second section includes a groove formed in the inner surface of the side wall of the second section, and a tip end of the gripping portion at an opposite end of the product application device from the application portion, is complimentarily shaped with the groove so the tip end fits within the groove to secure the entire product application device within the second section, wherein when the first section and the second section are pivoted with respect to each other to a fully opened position, an outside edge of a side wall of the first section adjacent the pivot axis extends across and overlaps a portion of the side wall of the second section only to the inner surface of the side wall of the second section such that the outside edge of the side wall of the first section does not overlap the interior of the second stacked section, wherein the groove formed in the inner surface of the side wall of the second section is located at a position at the side wall distant from the overlap between the first section and second section in the opened position, and wherein the first section is configured to rotate approximately 180 degrees with respect to the second section, to said opened position.
