Abstract
A case essentially comprising a base, a lid and articulation means for articulating the lid with respect to the base. The articulation means have a pin and a seating in which the pin pivots in a direction of rotation, in order to articulate the lid with respect to the base between a closed position in which the articulation means are concealed on the inside of the case and an open position. The seating extends in a direction of slide substantially perpendicular to the direction of rotation to further permit translation of the lid in the direction of slide and the device further comprises means for combining the movements of rotation and of translation of the lid.

A case, in particular intended to contain a cosmetic product, essentially comprising:
- a base,
- a lid,
- articulation means having a first and a second part which are linked one to the lid and the other to the base, the first part comprising a pin and the second part a seating in which said pin pivots in a direction of rotation, in order to articulate the lid with respect to the base between a closed position in which it comes into contact with the base and an open position in which it is substantially away from the base, said articulation means being concealed on the inside of the case, between the base and the lid, in the closed position of the case,
- wherein:
- said seating extends in a direction of slide substantially perpendicular to the direction of rotation in order further to permit translation between the first part and the second part of the articulation means in said direction of slide, and
- the case further comprises means for combining the rotation and the translation of the first part of the articulation means with respect to the second part of the articulation means.
