<p>A one-handed opening compact cosmetic container 10 comprises a base portion 20 and a lid portion 18, the lid portion 18 being rotatable relative to the base portion 20 about a hinge 26. The base portion 20 comprises deformable portions 32, deformable by application of a pressing or squeezing force F applied to opposing sides of the base portion 20 by one hand of a user. The subsequent movement of the deformable portions 32 causes part (28, fig. 2) of the base portion 20 to press against the lid portion 18 at the hinge 26, (see fig. 3). This movement, indicated by the arrow G in figure 3, applies a rotational force to the lid portion 18 so as to rotate the lid portion 18 from the closed configuration to the open configuration. An interlock arrangement 40 may also be provided, comprising upstanding hooks 42 which cooperate with the lid 18 to prevent the lid from being opened. Squeezing parts 34 disengages the hooks 42 from the lid 18 and allows the lid 18 to be opened.</p> |
