1. A package (6; 66) designed to contain an object, said package comprising:
a hollow body (3, 23) with an opening (230) through which said object passes into and out of said hollow body (3, 23);
a lid (21; 621) joined to the hollow body (3, 23) by a hinge (22), enabling the hollow body (3, 23) to be closed;
a protective cover (1; 61); and
a coupling device (4; 64) between the protective cover (1; 61) and the lid (21; 621),
said protective cover (1; 61) being movable between:
a closed position in which the protective cover (1; 61) covers the lid (21; 621) and in which the coupling device (4; 64) assumes a contracted configuration; and
an open position in which the protective cover (1; 61) is spaced from the hollow body (2, 23) and in which the coupling device (4; 64) assumes a deployed configuration, wherein the protective cover (1; 61) forms with the coupling device (4; 64), in said open position, a lever arm coupled to the lid (21; 621),
wherein the coupling device (4; 64) comprises a fastening system (45; 645) designed to hold the coupling device (4; 64) in the contracted configuration when the protective cover (1; 61) is in the closed position, while enabling said fastening system (45; 645) to be disabled when the protective cover (1; 61) is moved from said closed position to said open position, which causes the coupling device (4; 64) to assume the deployed configuration.
