Abstract
A makeup case is composed of a bottom (2) and a lid (4) which is hinged to the bottom and can be reversibly locked against the said bottom. The bottom and the lid are formed from identical molded parts. A joint structure is designed to be used interchangeably for hinging the bottom to the lid or for reversibly locking the lid against the bottom. The hinging of the bottom to the lid and the reversible locking of the lid against the bottom are provided by mechanical snap-fastening at the joint structure.
