1. A product package comprising:
an inner part and an outer part, the outer part being configured to move in relation to the inner part between an open configuration and a closed configuration; wherein
the inner part comprises a compartment configured to store a product; and wherein the package further comprises
an opening mechanism configured to automatically pull the product out of the compartment of the inner part to an outer surface of the package and to slide the product along the outer surface of the package upon opening the package.
2. A product package according to claim 1 , wherein, upon opening the package, a movement of the outer part towards the open configuration is configured to cause the opening mechanism to automatically pull the product out of the compartment of the inner part.
3. A product package according to claim 1 , wherein the outer surface of the package is a top outer surface of the package.
4. A product package according to claim 1 , wherein the opening mechanism is configured to pull the product out of the compartment of the inner part in a vertical direction and to slide the product along the outer surface of the product package in a horizontal direction upon opening the package.
5. A product package according to claim 1 , wherein the opening mechanism comprises at least one elongated opening member.
6. A product package according to claim 5 , wherein the elongated opening member is loosely engaged with the outer part so that the outer part is allowed to slide in relation to the elongated opening member and wherein one end of the elongated opening member is connected to the inner part and another end of the elongated opening member is operatively connected to the product.
7. A product package according to claim 6 , wherein the elongated opening member is connected to the product through a packaging component configured to receive the product.
8. A product package according to claim 7 , wherein the packaging component comprises at least one of the following: a cradle, a box, an insert, a protective plastic bag, a protective film, and a tray.
9. A product package according to claim 6 , wherein a product configured to be stored in the package has a width W and the elongated opening member is engaged with the outer part at a position whose distance from an outer edge of the outer part is ½W.
10. A product package according to claim 1 , further comprising a closing mechanism configured to automatically push the product into the compartment of the inner part upon closing the package.
11. A product package according to claim 10 , wherein, upon closing the package, a movement of the outer part towards the closed configuration is configured to cause the closing mechanism to automatically push the product into the compartment of the inner part.
12. A product package according to claim 10 , wherein the closing mechanism comprises at least one elongated closing member.
13. A product package according to claim 12 , wherein one end of the elongated closing member is connected to the inner part and another end of the elongated closing member is operatively connected to the product.
14. A method comprising
allowing a user to open a product package that comprises an inner part and an outer part configured to move in relation to each other between an open configuration and a closed configuration, wherein the inner part comprises a compartment configured to store a product; and
upon the user opening the product package, automatically pulling the product out of the compartment of the inner part to an outer surface of the package and sliding the product along the outer surface of the package.
15. A method according to claim 14 , further comprising causing the automatic pulling of the product by a movement of the outer part towards the open configuration.
16. A method according to claim 14 , further comprising automatically pushing the product into the compartment of the inner part upon the user closing the package.
17. A method according to claim 16 , further comprising causing the automatic pushing of the product by a movement of the outer part towards the closed configuration.
18. A method according to claim 16 , further comprising automatically pushing a product residing on an outer surface of the package into the compartment of the inner part upon the user closing the package.
