Abstract

A container for consumer goods includes a box for receiving goods, the box having an open end; a lid rotatable between open and closed positions for respectively opening and closing the open end of the box; a hinged connector that connects the lid to the box, where the hinged connector is connected to the lid at a connector-lid hinge line and connected to the box at a connector-box hinge line; and, a resilient mechanism arranged between the box and the connector such that, during lid opening, the resilient mechanism causes relative movement of the box to the connector.
