Abstract (en)
[origin: WO8707483A1] A compact for housing a cosmetic preparation with an improved latch which provides positive locking action in the closed position of the compact but which can be slidably disengaged by manual pressure exerted by the thumb and forefinger. The latch means (12) comprises an elongated tab (22) disposed on the cover (16) of the compact and having a lug (24) member on its underside which enters into locking engagement with a latch undersurface on the base of the compact. The tab (22) projects substantially vertically downwardly from the edge of said cover and has a terminal portion (28) projecting outwardly and downwardly at an angle to the plane of the cover of about 10 DEG to 75 DEG , preferably 40 DEG to 50 DEG . Optional finger engaging tabs (20) projecting from the edge of the base on one or both sides of said cover tab facilitate opening of the latch by simultaneous upward pressure exerted by the thumb on the terminal portion.
