5/10 pharmacist). You can connect a perfume pack to an alcohol gel pack (Perfumery product pack with household product pack). You can connect a USB stick pack to a pen pack (electronic computer product packaging with stationery packaging). You can connect a package of laundry stain remover to a puff ball (cleaning chemical packaging with household cleaning product packaging), etc. [017] The “wait” connection option provides possible fittings that will be available and must not interfere with the individual use of the product, so as not to induce the consumer to purchase a product that he does not want.

[018] The “wait” connection option is especially useful and important for products in miniature or reduced size so that they can be easily transported and applied, avoid losses, in addition to making it easier to purchase a product or more and avoid the product has expired due to the excess quantity in the purchase of conventional products.

[019] Invento is characterized by providing Mechanical Imbrication Connection, Magnetic Connection and / or a combination of connections that allow fitting.

[020] A retractable and / or propulsion system with thread, semi-thread, pin, spring, lock or other may be embedded in the packaging in the case of semi-solid products that do not require an applicator accessory to prevent damage to the product and allow its exposure for the application.

Petition 870160069380, of 11/22/2016, p. 19/32

6/10 [021] Other options can also be considered for connection between packages, for example, an internal thread on the base and an external thread on the lid.

Summary of the Invention [022] The main objective of the present invention is to provide a connection for a plurality of packages for various sectors, initially for use in the cosmetic sector, which can be transported and used in an easy and convenient way.

[023] The packages can be used individually or connected with other units and can still be disconnected from a set when the user needs or desires. (Customization).

[024] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a tubular structure with a multiform section.

[025] For the best use of this type of packaging, it is proposed to continue using it in the condition of replacement modules, with the possibility of replacing only the product, disregarding the total or partial use of a refill packaging and, therefore, waste is reduced of discarded materials and minimizing environmental pollution.

[026] The invention allows the combination of connector packaging, according to the need and choice of products by the user (Personalization of acquisition and use).

[027] Another object of the present invention is to provide a viable and practical way to purchase, transport and apply products to the consumer.

[029] In relation to the above description, it is understood that the dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, including variations in size, materials, shapes, functions and mode of operation, assembly and use and all relationships equivalent to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specifications should be considered by the present invention. The dimension values placed in the drawings refer to measurements taken for the Cosmetics sector. For connector packaging intended for simultaneous application and transportation, the maximum size of the individual connector packaging is 150 mm in length and 100 mm in diameter.

Detailed description of the Invention [030] The present invention provides an elongated module fitting structure, coaxially aligned that enables a tubular structure, preferably cylindrical, (Fig. 2).

[031] Invention is characterized by allowing the individual use of the product, (Fig.1). For this, each package must have its own lid so that when isolated (without connection to another) the product is not exposed to contamination or subject to leakage as in the case of liquid products. [032] The package is divided into base, cover and connectors. On the cover and base there is a connector for connection with one or two packages, so that the connector package has two connectors simultaneously (Fig. 5 and Fig. 6).

Petition 870160069380, of 11/22/2016, p. 22/32

9/10 [033] The base is the part in which the product is housed in a cavity, and may also contain a type of accessory for application of the product. The base is the part opposite the cover, (Fig. 5 / A and 5 / B).

[034] A socket for fitting (female), internal thread, or grooves, or magnet, or any type of adjustment can be considered to bring security and stability in connection with other connector packages, (Fig. 7 / B);

[035] A cover to superimpose the base of the connector packaging, with the function of protection and hygiene of the packaged product, having in its configuration proportional dimension and adequate to the type and state of the stored product;

[036] The cover is located at the opposite end of the base, and can receive several types of accessories for use of the product. The lid should ideally be transparent or have a transparent display to allow the product to be displayed, except in cases where the stored products have sensitivity to light and must be made of resistant material, (Fig. 6 / A and 6 / B).

[037] The cover may have a shoulder or recess in the external position to allow fitting with other modules, so that when the modules are connected there is stability.

[038] To connect the packages, there may be a shoulder or recess in the external portion for the lid and a cavity for the base. The "male connection" shoulder and the "female connection" cavity must be presented simultaneously in the same package, to allow connections with other connector packages, (Fig. 7 / A and 7 / B).

Petition 870160069380, of 11/22/2016, p. 23/32

10/10 [039] The connector packaging must be made of a resistant polymeric material, metal, wood and others, having sufficient rigidity to withstand pressure exerted by a user through the various connections and disconnections to be performed.

[040] The connector package can take a tubular shape with a multiform section, which consists of the coupling of several modules of various products for general use. Initially for the cosmetic area and, preferably for use in small quantities.

[041] Fixation of articulation means for joining the cover with the base. The individual cover for each connector can be attached to its own base by a pedicle of the Flip system. This pedicle serves to prevent loss of the lid, especially in products of small quantities (Fig. 2 / A).

[042] A retractable system at the base may be necessary so that the cover does not interfere with the display of products and / or accessories for the application.

[043] In this way, the most important characteristics of the invention were outlined, in a very broad way, so that its detailed description can be understood and so that the present contribution to art can be appreciated. There are, of course, additional features of the invention which will be described below and which will form the object in the appended claims.

[044] Initially, in order to introduce and enable the application of connector packaging, connectors can be adapted to existing packaging by transforming a standard packaging into “Packaging

Connector ”.
