Definitions

  • the invention relates to a casing for a cosmetic product.
  • Such cases usually include a tray for receiving cosmetics and a cover for closing or opening the case. Thus, when the cover is in the open position, the user has access to the tray.
  • cases for cosmetic product include a housing configured to receive the cosmetic product and a cover.
  • the cover is conventionally closed by clipping or screwing. In the closed position, the cover protects the cosmetic product and its opening allows the user to access the cosmetic product which is in the housing.
  • opening is done conventionally by means of a push button. This involves the addition of an additional visible part which influences the aesthetics of the case.
  • the push button must be of sufficient size and the size of the case must then be adapted.
  • the use of a push-button locking system is therefore not possible for very thin housings.
  • the thinness of the case would imply the use of a push button which is too small to be easily handled and allow the case to be opened.
  • EP 1 780 139 A1 discloses a case which is intended to contain cosmetics or the like.
  • the present invention relates to a cosmetic case according to claim 1.
  • Preferred features of the invention are set out in the dependent claims.
  • the closing / opening means are actuated by setting the additional part in motion relative to the cover so as to engage / disengage the locking means of said housing.
  • the additional part is designed to make virtually the entire cover inaccessible to an outside user when the housing is in the closed position, the part of the cover allowing it to pivot relative to the base when the housing is in the open position, called articulation, being the only part of the cover accessible to the touch for an external user when the housing is in the closed position.
  • the housing according to the invention can be opened by a simple movement of an additional part relative to the cover. Therefore, the use of a push button is not necessary.
  • the size of the case is therefore no longer influenced by the presence of the push button. It is possible to reduce the size of the case, in particular its thickness, and to design a very thin case with easy and efficient opening.
  • the cover being for the most part inaccessible to the user, the setting in motion of the additional part relative to the latter is not hampered even if the case is thin.
