When the inner case () is pushed up through the window () of the outer case (), the link () urges the hinged lid () upward so that hinged lid () is opened. In an open position, the hinged lid () provides an access opening () projecting from the plane of the top wall of the outer case () and facing sideways of the outer case ().
