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.

1. 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, andthe 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. 2. A case according to claim 1, wherein:the first part of the articulation means further comprises a tongue having an arc shape and the pin is offset with respect to the centre of curvature of the arc shape,the 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 comprises guide means co-operating with said tongue to combine the rotation and the translation of the first part of the articulation means with respect to the second part of the articulation means between the closed position and the open position of the lid. 3. A case according to claim 2, wherein:the pin is connected to the lid by way of the tongue, andthe guide means comprises a slot provided in the receptacle, in which said tongue slides. 4. A case according to claim 3, wherein:the slot and the tongue are substantially of the same width,the tongue is connected to the pin by a connecting portion defining a neck, narrower than the tongue,the slot is interrupted in a central portion by a recess, said recess having a width less than that of the slot to provide two end portions of the slot, but greater than that of the neck, in order to permit the insertion of the tongue into the slot. 5. A case according to claim 3, wherein the direction of slide is offset with respect to the slot. 6. A case according to claim 2, wherein the arc shape defined in section by the tongue has a variable radius of curvature. 7. A case according to claim 6, wherein the tongue has in section a portion in the shape of an arc of a circle connected to a substantially straight portion arranged in proximity to the pin. 8. A case according to claim 1, wherein the lid comes into contact with the base on a contact surface to which the direction of slide is substantially perpendicular. 9. A case according to claim 1, wherein the pin is frictionally disposed in the seating to hold the lid in a position with respect to the base. 10. A case according to claim 1, wherein the base comprises two elements defining a bottom and a product receptacle between which said seating is provided.
