- the product packaging 510 includes a releasable locking system that is selectively moveable between a disengaged state and an engaged state which locks and maintains the plurality of walls in a closed structural configuration.
- the releasable locking system includes the first left side panel closure tab 461 and the opposing second left side panel closure tab 462 that are arranged on the first upper wall 511, the first right side panel closure tab 471 and the opposing second right side panel closure tab 472 that are arranged on the second upper wall 512, and the one or more closure slits/openings 474, 475 that are respectively arranged in the front wall 515 and the rear wall 516.
- the front wall 515 and the rear wall 516 are placed in position by selectively rotating the front panel 440 about a hinge axis defined by the fold line 403 and the rear panel 450 about a hinge axis defined by the fold line 404, respectively.

- the left sidewall 513 is interlocked with the front wall 515 and the rear wall 516 by virtue of the direct contact, frictional engagement, and/or physical engagement between the planar substrate 420a and the planar substrates 440a, 450a and also the direct contact, frictional engagement, and/or physical engagement between the recessed edge region 420b and the recessed edge regions 440b, 450b.
- the right sidewall 514 is interlocked with the front wall 515 and the rear wall 516 by virtue of the direct contact, frictional engagement, and/or physical engagement between the planar substrate 430a and the planar substrates 440a, 450a and also the direct contact, frictional engagement, and/or physical engagement between the recessed edge region 430b and the recessed edge regions 440b, 450b.
- the first supper wall 511 is interlocked with the front wall 515 and the rear wall 516 by virtue of the direct contact, frictional engagement, and/or physical engagement between the planar substrate 460a and the planar substrates 440a, 450a and also the direct contact, frictional engagement, and/or physical engagement between the recessed edge region 460b and the recessed edge regions 440b, 450b.

- FIGS. 10A through 10F illustrates a sequence which causes the selective transformation of the product packaging 510 from the folded state/closed structural configuration to the unfolded state/open structural configuration which partially or fully exposes the consumer product CP.
- the product packaging 510 is in an initial, folded state/closed structural configuration.
- the upper pull-tab member section 473a is arranged between a seam or gap between the first upper wall 511 and the second upper wall 512. In this position, at least a portion of the upper pull-tab member section 473a projects upwardly from the second upper wall 512 to enable a user to grip the pull-tab member 473 to selectively initiate the automatic opening of the product packaging 510 to at least partially expose the consumer product CP.
- the upper pull-tab member section 473a, in the folded state of the product packaging 510 is oriented in a plane that is substantially orthogonal to the second upper wall 512.
- the lower pull-tab member section 473b is hidden from view in the cavity, and is oriented in a plane that is substantially orthogonal to the upper pull-tab member section 473a.
- the lower pull-tab member section 473b is oriented in a plane that is parallel to the second upper wall 512 for positioning under the planar substrate 460a and/or the recessed edge region 460b that faces the cavity. In this position, the lower pull-tab member section 473b is in direct physical contact or engagement with the planar substrate 460a and/or the recessed edge region 460b.
- a user may pull the upper pull-tab member section 473a to urge rotation of the second upper wall 512 (e.g., in a clockwise direction).
- Such rotation by the second upper wall 512 causes the release of the direct contact, frictional engagement, and/or physical engagement between the planar substrate 470a and the planar substrates 440a, 450a, and also release of the direct contact, frictional engagement, and/or physical engagement between the recessed edge region 470b and the recessed edge regions 440b, 450b.
- These actions thereby cause release of the interlocking connection of the second supper wall 512 with the front wall 515 and the rear wall 516.
- Rotation by the second upper wall 512 also causes the release of the direct contact, frictional engagement, and/or physical engagement between the planar substrate 420a and the planar substrates 440a, 450a and also the release of the direct contact, frictional engagement, and/or physical engagement between the recessed edge region 420b and the recessed edge regions 440b, 450b. These actions thereby cause release of the interlocking connection of the left sidewall 513 with the front wall 515 and the rear wall 516.
- the lower pull-tab member section 473b applies a force to the planar substrate 460a and/or the recessed edge region 460b to urge (e.g., via application of a force) the first upper wall 511 to rotate (e.g., in an anti-clockwise direction).
- Such rotation by the first upper wall 511 causes the release of the direct contact, frictional engagement, and/or physical engagement between the planar substrate 460a and the planar substrates 440a, 450a, and also release of the direct contact, frictional engagement, and/or physical engagement between the recessed edge region 460b and the recessed edge regions 440b, 450b.
- both the first upper wall 511 and the second upper wall 512 are caused to rotate substantially concurrently with each other to an unfolded state/open structural configuration in a substantially symmetrically manner.
- Rotation of the first upper wall 511 also causes the first left side panel closure tab 461 to move out of the first elongated closure slit/opening 474 and the second left side panel closure tab 462 to move out of the second elongated closure slit/opening 475 ( FIGS. 10B through 10D ).
- Rotation of the second upper wall 512 also causes the first right side panel closure tab 471 to move out of the first elongated closure slit/opening 474 and the second right side panel closure tab 472 to move out of the second elongated closure slit/opening 475 ( FIGS. 10E and 10F ).
- the walls may be selectively caused to rotate symmetrically in a manner which transforms the product packaging 510 from a folded state/closed structural configuration to an unfolded state/open structural configuration.
- Examples are not limited to symmetrical opening of the walls and sidewalls of the product packaging 510.
- This disclosure contemplates opening the walls and sidewalls of the product packaging 510 in any suitable manner that falls within the scope of the principles of this disclosure.
- the walls and sidewalls of the product packaging 510 may be opened asymmetrically.
- Coupled may be used herein to refer to any type of relationship, direct or indirect, between the components in question, and may apply to electrical, mechanical, fluid, optical, electromagnetic, electro-mechanical or other connections. Additionally, the terms “first,” “second,” etc. are used herein only to facilitate discussion, and carry no particular temporal or chronological significance unless otherwise indicated.
- cause or “causing” means to make, force, compel, direct, command, instruct, and/or enable an event or action to occur or at least be in a state where such event or action may occur, either in a direct or indirect manner.
