Abstract

A casing is provided that comprises a base ( 30 ), a lid ( 32 ) which is movable between a closure configuration. The base ( 30 ) and the lid ( 32 ) delimit an internal volume for receiving a cosmetic article and a configuration for access to the receiving volume. It comprises an insert ( 36 ) arranged in the receiving volume, the insert ( 36 ) being movable relative to the base ( 30 ) and relative to the lid ( 32 ) towards an intermediate position which is disengaged from the base ( 30 ) and disengaged from the lid ( 32 ) in the access configuration. The casing ( 10 ) comprises a releasable retainer ( 40 ) for retaining the insert ( 36 ) by friction in a position engaged on the lid ( 32 ), the lid ( 32 ) being capable of moving the insert ( 36 ) by means of the friction type retainer ( 40 ) over at least a portion of the travel of the lid ( 32 ) between the closure and access configurations.

1 . A Support casing for a cosmetic article of the type comprising:
 a base;   a lid which is mounted so as to be movable relative to the base between a closure configuration, in which the base and the lid delimit an internal volume for receiving the cosmetic article, and a configuration for access to the receiving volume;   an insert which is arranged in the receiving volume, the insert being mounted so as to be movable relative to the base and relative to the lid towards an intermediate position which is disengaged from the base and disengaged from the lid in the access configuration,   wherein the insert comprises a hollow body delimiting a single central through-hole and a curved peripheral groove for receiving a cosmetic article, the peripheral groove delimited internally by an internal wall which defines the through hole, and   wherein the peripheral groove extends continuously around an axis of the insert and over the whole circumference of the through hole.
