ABSTRACT:
A case such as a cosmetic case has a base and a lid hinged on the edge of the base. Adjacent the hinge (4) of the case (1), the base (2) has at least one flexible tongue (8) of limited elasticity. The lid (3) has, facing that tongue (8), at least one rigid protuberance (6), such that during closure of the case (1), the protuberance (6) of the lid (3) will come into abutment against the flexible tongue (8) of the base (2). The limited elasticity of the flexible tongue (8) ensures that closure of the lid on the base will be stopped whilst not yet complete, thereby to leave a small gap between the lid and the base into which the fingernail can be inserted to reopen the case.
