  • Patent number: 5896866
    Abstract: A case is provided for containing a product which is susceptible of deterioration in the air, and more particularly a cosmetic product. The case comprises a base for containing the cosmetic product, a cover articulated relative to the base, a locking device that maintains the cover in a closed position, and two substantially cylindrical, coaxial skirts, with a lower skirt extending from the base and an upper skirt extending from the cover, with the lower skirt capable of being inserted concentrically into the upper skirt when the cover is in a closed position, wherein when the cover is in a closed position the lower skirt is compressed axially and is therefore deformed radially in order to create a sealing contact between the upper skirt and the lower skirt.
