Abstract
A cosmetic case comprised of an upper cover, lower container, pivoting hinge assembly, and latch mechanism utilized to secure the cover against the container to form an atmospheric seal between the cover and container. The hinge assembly is specifically structured so as to provide an elastic deformation property which allows positional displacement of the hinge pin as means of compensating for dimensional differences between the cover and container that would otherwise adversely affect the atmospheric seal.
