Patent ID: 8887950

Claim:
A case for a solid, paste or powder cosmetic or body hygiene product comprising: a body comprising a bottom and a free edge a dish containing a solid, paste or powder product, and a lid mounted on the body and pivotable relative to the body between a product-accessible configuration and a closed configuration, said case further comprising: a mobile assembly comprising the dish and an articulation area consisting essentially of a hinge connecting the lid to the mobile assembly and about which the lid is adapted to pivot with respect to the mobile assembly, said hinge defining an articulation axis fixed with respect to this mobile assembly, said lid being mounted to the body through this mobile assembly, wherein said mobile assembly is adapted to move essentially in translation perpendicularly to the bottom, and at least one elastically-compressible assembly designed so as to have two stable retracted positions relative to a maximum pushed-in position, wherein said elastically-compressible assembly is positioned between the body and the mobile assembly and delimits for the mobile assembly, a maximum pushed-in configuration when this elastically-compressible assembly is in one of its two stable retracted positions and a minimum pushed-in configuration when this elastically-compressible assembly is in its other one of its two stable retracted positions, and further wherein: when the mobile assembly is in the maximum pushed-in configuration and the lid is in the closed configuration, the articulation area of the mobile assembly and at least part of the lid are retracted into the body, and when the mobile assembly is in the minimum pushed-in configuration, the articulation area is at least partially outside the body, and the lid provides sufficient grip for a user to pivot the lid between the product-accessible configuration and the closed configuration.
