  Make-up case with small clasp.

  The invention relates to a make-up case of the type comprising

  a bottom and a hinged lid on said bottom, as well as a disc

  positive locking lid with the bottom. Most known makeup cases use a clasp consisting of a sliding pusher in the bottom or the lid, the pusher being integral with a pivoting or sliding piece provided with a spout cooperating with a recess of the lid or the bottom

  respectively In the case of a sliding room, it is neces-

  to provide a return spring while, if the piece is pivotable, it may be made of an elastic material,

for example a strip of metal.

  These known clasps are of construction and assembly

  latively complicated that lend themselves poorly to automation, which increases their cost price In addition, they are subject to wear and require great precision They finally present

  the disadvantages of having a rather high bulk, do you

  the small dimensions of the case, and to present the risk

  an accidental opening due to the protrusion of the pusher.

  The present invention aims at eliminating the disadvantages of iron

  moirs known for make-up cases thanks to a new iron

  extremely compact footprint, not requiring any

  high lerries, and simple and economical manufacturing.

  For this purpose, the make-up case according to the invention is

  characterized in that said locking device is constituted

  by a part comprising a body permanently and permanently housed

  in a blind hole of the lid or bottom, said body being provided with an elastically deformable outer extension provided with a groove terminated by a bevelled-edge nose, said

  cooperating nozzle with a groove of the bottom or lid respectively-

  said groove of the bottom or cover having a width of

  greater than the thickness of said spout and being adjacent to a beveled lip cooperating with the beveled edges of said spout during

  opening and closing the lid.

  The clasp of the invention is formed by a single piece, easy to fix, which does not require close tolerances due to the cooperation of its beveled edges with the beveled lip of the bottom

  cover, which produces an elastic deformation of the

  protruding part of the locking piece and a springback

  of this same part after closure Congestion is very

  the use is simplified, the opening being made

  by sliding a finger between the bottom and the lid.

  Preferably, said piece is made of elastic synthetic material

  deformable material such as polyacetal, the bottom and / or the

  housing key being made of a hard synthetic material such as

ABS resin.

  The invention will be well understood on reading the following description.

  made with reference to the accompanying drawing in which:

  FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic sectional view of a

  of a make-up case according to an example of

  embodiment of the invention; FIG. 2 is a plan view of the locking piece of the make-up case of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic view of FIG.

section of the part of Figure 2.

  The makeup case shown in FIG. 1 comprises a solid base 1 on which is articulated a lid 2 made of rigid material

such as an ABS resin.

  The cover 2 comprises a blind housing 3 in which is

  in a rigid and permanent manner, the body 4 of a piece of glass

  5 (FIGS. 2 and 3) The body 4 is extended by a portion

  outer portion 6 elastically deformable portion 6 has a groove 7 completed, opposite the body 4 by a spout 8 whose

  outer edge is provided with a bevel 9 and the inner edge of a bi-

bucket 10.

  The bottom 1 of the housing has a groove 11 separated from the edge of the

  bottom 1 by a lip 12 provided with an outer bevel 13 and a bi-

  inner bucket 14 The height of the groove 11 to the lip 12

  is greater than the thickness of the beak 8.

  The part 5 is provided with vanes 15 snapping into the box-

  blind eye 3 It can also be glued into said housing 3.

  To close the lid 2, the outer bevel 13 of the lip 12 elastically pushes the part 6 of the piece 5 by sliding on

  the outer bevel 9, until the spout 9 has passed the

  Part 6 then resumes its normal position, the bi-

  inner bucket 10 of the spout 8 being supported on the inner bevel 14 of the lip 12 The lid 2 is thus locked on the bottom

1 of the case.

  To open the lid 2, simply slide a finger between the

  cover 2 and bottom 1 of the make-up case.

  14 of the lip 12 slides on the inner bevel 10 of the spout 8

  by elastically pushing part 6 of part 5.

  Of course, the dimensions of the locking part 5 can

  vary depending on the housing with which it is used.

  The location and size of the point of flexibility between

  4 and the flexible part 6, as well as the flexibility of this

  Part 6 can be adapted as needed.

  even the height and thickness of the latch 8.
