Abstract
A case for a stick-type cosmetic, which includes: a tubular case body having an open end, the body having parallel planar opposite side faces constituting a part of the outer peripheral face thereof, each of the side faces having a through slot; a receptacle for receiving the proximal end of the cosmetic, the receptacle being slidably received in the tubular body; a pair of coaxial pivots connected to the receptacle, the pivots being slidably received respectively in the through slots; and a lid including a head portion and a pair of spaced parallel leg portions, each of the leg portions having outer and inner opposite faces, the leg portions being pivotally connected to the receptacle through the pivots, the lid being movable to a closed position. When the lid is in the closed position, the head portion of the lid closes the open end of the body, and the entire inner faces of the leg portions are mated respectively with the entire side faces of the body. The outer peripheral face of the body includes a pair of curved faces, each extending between the side faces of the body. The outer faces of the leg portions are smoothly continuous to the curved faces of the body when the lid is in its closed position.
