In particular, plural packages are known, in which a plurality of container bodies, or boxes, are held together through a corresponding cellophane wrapping outside the package, or through a corresponding mutual union band.

In these multiple packages, however, each of the container bodies retains its own individual lid, which, in order to access the product, needs to be opened individually.

These operations are rather inconvenient to perform and are therefore not very popular with consumers.

Furthermore, these multiple packages, following the first opening, when they are housed for example inside the bags or pockets of the clothing of the users of this kind of products, run the risk, due to the shocks to which the same packages are subjected to due to walking or movement to which said bags or pockets are subject, to open in an undesirable way, with consequent loss of the product contained.

Furthermore, said plural packages do not have external elements which give the plurality of containers of the package the appearance of a unitary package, thus resulting not very pleasing to consumers.

A particular need felt in the sector is however that of having a multiple package available, which allows easy viewing and / or removal of the products.

Another particular need felt in the sector is however that of having a multiple package available that has a low production cost.

The present invention proposes a new and alternative solution to the solutions known up to now, and possibly such as to obviate one or more of the aforementioned drawbacks and / or problems, and / or such as to satisfy one or more of the above requirements. referred to or which are in any case derivable from the foregoing.

Furthermore, said lid 16, at least in the closed condition, has said opposite side walls which overlap the side walls of the respective container body, in particular the plurality of side walls of the container bodies, when these are longitudinally aligned with each other. The present package therefore comprises a plurality of container bodies 14, and in particular at least a first and a second container bodies 14, 14, in particular adapted to contain identical or different products, possibly to be used in a complementary way.

Advantageously, in the closed position, the covering element 16 covers the entire access mouth of the respective container body 14, i.e. the plurality of the access openings of the plurality of container bodies 14. Furthermore, in the closed position, the element cover 16 extends beyond the edge defining the respective access mouth 15 inside the container body 14.

In the closed position, the cover element 16 extends below in addition to the respective edge delimiting the opening mouth of the respective container body.

As illustrated, the respective container body 14 has, to define the upper open mouth 15 for the product outlet, at least one lowered upper edge, in correspondence with the front wall of the container body 14, and possibly a second lowered upper edge in correspondence of the rear wall of the same container body 14.

Ultimately, the respective container body 14 has, to define the upper open mouth 15 for the product outflow, opposite lateral edges, or opposite edges in correspondence with the lateral walls of the container body 14, which are raised to advantageously protect the product.

The present multiple package can be made starting from box-like products 14 of a type already known and which can therefore be made with pre-existing machines. The present package therefore has a particularly low production cost, as it does not require the preparation of suitable manufacturing machines, being sufficient to suitably modify these pre-existing machines.

Advantageously, the present package comprises means for maintaining said covering element 16 in the closed condition.

Said means of maintaining in the closed condition of said covering element 16 are defined by the interference by friction of the internal faces of the front side edges of the covering element 16, with the opposite front side edges of the respective container body 14.

In particular, the internal faces of the front lateral corners of the covering element 16 engage, in the first preferred embodiment, with the opposite front lateral edges of the respective container body placed at the front 14 and, in the second preferred embodiment, with the opposite and external lateral edges front of said side-by-side container bodies 14, 14.

The present package therefore advantageously has a single covering element through which it is possible to allow access to a plurality of container bodies in view of the selection of the desired product for consumption or in any case for use, all acting in a particularly easy and quick for the consumer on a single lid 16.

The invention thus conceived is susceptible of evident industrial application. The person skilled in the art will also be able to imagine numerous variations and / or modifications to be made to the invention illustrated in the specific preferred embodiment, while remaining within the scope of the inventive concept, as amply disclosed. In particular, the person skilled in the art can easily imagine further preferred embodiments of the invention which include one or more of the above illustrated characteristics. It must also be understood that all the details can be replaced by technically equivalent elements.
