Abstract

The case comprising a base (2) and a lid (3) articulated thereon includes a container (5) which can receive, for example, a more or less volatile cosmetic product which may deteriorate in contact with the ambient air. According to the invention, the case comprises a mechanism (6) enabling the container (5) to be raised when the case is closed, while ensuring sealing contact between an upper wall (15) of the container and a cooperating wall (16) of the lid. The invention can be applied especially to make-up cases.
