Patent ID: 8001982

Claim:
A makeup compact comprising: a base; a cosmetic and/or an applicator contained in the base; a support connected to the base via a hinge having an axis of rotation; a lid that turns relative to the support; and a mirror carried by the lid, the lid turning relative to the support in such a manner as to be able to pass from a first configuration to a second configuration and vice versa, after the lid has turned relative to the support, with turning being performed in a single plane, and other than about an axis of rotation that intersects the axis of rotation of the hinge, wherein transition from the first configuration to the second is performed by the lid turning through one fourth of a turn relative to the support, the first configuration is a portrait configuration in which a longitudinal axis of the lid is oriented substantially perpendicularly to the axis of rotation of the hinge, and the second configuration is a landscape configuration in which the longitudinal axis of the lid carrying the mirror is oriented substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the hinge.
