Abstract: The compact (1) comprises a lid (2), a hollow base (3) typically comprising, using an intermediate grid (4), a recipient (5), a hinge (7) and a clasp (8), “upper” sealing means attached to said lid and “lower” sealing means attached to said base, said sealing means co-operating when said compact is closed, and is characterised in that:

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of a case (1) with a sealed closure, in particular for cosmetic products, of the type comprising a bottom (2) provided with a compartment (5) enclosing the product and on which is articulated a cover (3), the cover (3) and the bottom (2) being provided with complementary closure means and the cover (3) or the bottom (2) having a sealing joint (7), in which process the bottom (2) and the cover (3) are obtained by molding. The invention consists in that the sealing joint (7) is formed in the bottom (2) or the cover (3) of the case (1) by molding by co-injection of said sealing joint (7) and the bottom (2) or the cover (3).

Abstract: The case (1) comprises a cover (2) and a bottom (3) fixed and hinged by means of a first hinge (21), a first closing device (20) for the said cover (2), and contains a sealed receptacle (4) comprising a bottom (7) and side wall (6) fitted with a an airtight cover (5) fitted with a second hinge (51) and a second closing device (50), characterized in that: a) the said receptacle (4) is a receptacle that can be click fitted/separated in the said case (1) by clipping means; b) the said receptacle (4) can be clipped such that the said second closing device (50) can be in two different orientations from the said first closing device (20); such that the user of the said case can orient the said receptacle himself or herself with respect to the said case depending on whether he or she is right handed or left handed, to make it easier to open the said receptacle later.

Abstract: A makeup box comprising a bottom (1) on which is articulated a cover, a push button being mounted in the periphery of the bottom (1) opposite the axis of articulation of the cover and coacting with a catch or the like of the cover. The bottom (1) is constituted by a solid piece provided with a recess (3) running about all its internal periphery and opening (5) centrally, a front window (6) opening into the recess (3) for the reception of a push button and catches, such as ribs or tongues (8), for the push button, disposed on opposite sides of the window (6).

Abstract: A flask is closed by a closing device comprising a closing cap cooperating with the neck of the flask. The device includes two open ramps diametrically opposite provided on the neck of the flask and in the center of which is formed an axially extending projection, the closing cap including a cylindrical skirt formed inside with two diametrically opposite latching studs and each carrying a housing which cooperates with one of the projections.

Abstract: Make-up box comprising a case (1) constructed of two case parts (2,3) articulated one on the other, a mirror (8) being arranged in a first (2) case part and a platform (9) bearing one or more make-up products on one of its faces being arranged in the second (3) case part. The second case part (3) is at least partially transparent and the platform (9) is arranged so as to be movable and rotatable through 180.degree. in the said second case part (3) so as to be able to occupy two positions such that the make-up products supported by the platform may be turned towards the second case part (3) in a first position and turned towards the first case part (2) in the second position.

Abstract: Case composed of two parts articulated to one another and comprising a one-piece clasp comprising a body on which are provided retention means, elastic return means, actuating means accessible from outside and locking means. The body (7) of the clasp (1) is constructed so that it can be introduced into the first case part (3) by sliding through an opening (4) and the retention means (15) cooperate, at the end of this mounting by sliding, by snapping in, with stop means (19) provided on the first case part (3) so as to enable the locking means (12) to cooperate with hooking means on the second case part (6).Application: in particular to make-up cases.

Abstract: The invention relates to a closure cap having a structural arrangement which provides a frictional fitting dome attachment to the base and provides an arrangement in which any shaped dome can be fitted thereon. Moreover, hot stamped discs with decorative designs are placed below transparent domes. This allows a manufacturer to vary the cap configurations.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are set forth relating to casting of metals with a high melting point utilizing a casting wheel having a grooved rim into which liquid metal is introduced. The metal is sealed during solidification by means of movable flaps which move with the wheel during its rotation. Cooling device and device for positioning of the flaps are provided and the apparatus provides for manufacture of bars or strips of ferrous or non-ferrous metals which are free from sharp edges and burrs.
