Abstract
A cosmetic case tray is translationally mounted within the case base. Engageable clasp members are respectively mounted to the lid and the tray for releasably securing the lid and base together. A push button is located at a front end of the case and is mounted to the tray for displacing the tray rearwardly within the base upon actuation of the push button in a rearward direction. A horizontally extending member is mounted to a rear end of the tray for horizontally transferring rearwardly exerted force from the push button, to an internal surface of the lid, thereby pushing the lid sufficiently open to hingedly separate the lid and base thereby exposing a cosmetic product.
