Description
- The present invention relates generally to the packaging of cosmetic (make-up) containers for blush, eye shadow, lipstick, compacts and the like and more particularly to a specific technique for supporting the containers on a display rack, shelf, peg or the like.
- Heretofore, it has been common practice to package cosmetic products of the type recited above in blister type packaging. Whilst this type of packaging approach is generally satisfactory, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a more economical packaging technique and specifically one which supports and displays a cosmetic container in an uncomplicated, attractive and readily visible fashion.
- The present invention utilizes a support in combination with the cosmetic container to be packaged. The support has a sheet-like main body which includes a cutout configured to accommmodate the container. As in FR-A-2131916 the container is disposed within the cutout such that at least one edge section of the main body along the cutout engages with the container to maintain the latter in place. However, unlike in the prior art the interlocking takes place in an inlet in the container formed between two mutually movable parts of the container. Then, placing the two parts in one relative configuration locks the container into the support with portions of it projecting respectively beyond respective faces of the support, while in another relative configuration the locking is released and the container may be removed from the cutout. In the specific embodiment disclosed herein, the container includes a main section defining a compartment adapted to house a cosmetic therein, for example the blush, eye shadow or the like recited above, and a lid which cooperates with the main section for opening and closing the compartment. This container with its lid closed is supported within the cutout such that confronting edge sections of the support body along opposite edges of the cutout extend into and between the container's main section and closed lid. This combination container and support may be supported to a hook or peg forming part of a display rack or shelf utilizing a cooperating through-hole which may be readily provided in the tab just above its cutout. In this way, the support alone serves as a package and a support for its associated cosmetic container in an economical and uncomplicated way while, at the same time, placing most of the container in direct view, e.g. uncovered, for visual inspection by potential customers.
- The combination cosmetic container and support arrangement just described generally will be discussed in more detail hereinafter in conjunction with the drawings wherein:
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the combination arrangement shown supported to a shelf or display rack;
- Figure 2 is a side elevational view of the cosmetic container comprising part of the overall combination arrangement of Figure 1, the container being shown in its opened position;
- Figure 3 is a top plan view of the opened container;
- Figure 4 is a front elevational view of the opened container;
- Figure 5 is a back elevational view of the container when the latter is in its closed position;
- Figure 6 is a front elevational view of a support tab comprising part of the combination arrangement illustrated in Figure 1;
- Figure 7 is a front elevational view of the combination arrangement of Figure 1 with a front portion of the container removed to show how the support and a back portion of the container cooperate with one another; and
- Figure 8 is a back elevational view of the combination arrangement of Figure 1 with a back portion of the container removed to show how the tab support and a front portion of the container cooperate with one another.
- Turning now to the drawings, wherein like components are designated by like reference numerals throughout the various figures, attention is first directed to Figure 1. This figure illustrates a combination cosmetic container and support arrangement which is designed in accordance with the present invention and which is generally designated by the
reference numeral 10. As will be described in more detail hereinafter, this combination arrangement includes and preferably consists solely of acosmetic container 12 and asupport tab 14. The container is adapted to house a cosmetic therein, as discussed above, and the support tab serves as a package for the container and, at the same time, a means of supporting the container to a display or shelf rack which is at least partially represented by theupstanding post 16 and its associatedhook 18. As will be seen below,container 12 is interlocked in place within a cooperating cutout intab support 14 and cannot be removed without being opened first. At the same time, the entire front face of the container remains uncovered and in direct view for visual inspection by potential customers. - Referring now to Figures 2-5, attention is specifically directed to
container 12 which is shown including a generally rectangularmain section 20 and a similarly shapedlid 22. As best seen in Figure 3,main section 20 defines acompartment 24 which houses a cosmetic, for example blush, eye shadow, lipstick, or the like, generally indicated at 25.Main section 20 also includes a circumferential margin oredge 26 extending entirely aroundcompartment 24. As seen best in Figure 4,lid 22 includes a similar margin oredge 28 defining most of its rectangular periphery. In the embodiment illustrated, this margin or edge extends around a centrally locatedclear window 30 which, as will be seen below, exposes the cosmetic 26 to view when the lid is closed againstmain section 20. -
Lid 22 is pivotally connected along itsback edge 32 to theback edge 40 ofmain section 20 by a cooperating hinge mechanism generally indicated at 42 in Figure 5. As seen in this latter figure, the hinge mechanism includes anelongated hinge element 44 depending from a central location along the length ofback edge 32 oflid 22. Theback edge 40 of main section includes a complementary slot for receivingelement 44 and opposingpivot projections 48 extending into cooperating openings at the opposite ends ofelement 44. In this way, the lid is pivotally movable between its opened position illustrated in Figures 2-4 and its closed position illustrated in Figures 1 and 5. While a hinge mechanism could be provided to biaslid 22 in its closed position, the overall container preferably includes a suitable latching mechanism to maintain the lid in a disengagably closed position. This mechanism which is generally indicated at 50 in Figure 1 extends along and forms part of thefront edges tabs - From the foregoing it should be apparent that the circumferential margin or
edge 26 on the top side ofcontainer section 20 and the circumferential margin oredge 28 on the underside oflid 22 engage one another when the lid is closed. As will be seen hereinafter, these engaging margins or edges and specifically opposite sections thereof are used to interlock the overall container withsupport tab 14 when the container is disposed within a cooperating cutout which is formed in the tab and which will be described below. - Referring now to Figure 6, attention is directed to the details of
support 14. As seen in this figure, the support includes a generally rectangular, sheet-likemain body 60 which may be cardboard, plastic, sheet metal, metal foil or like sheet material having sufficient structural integrity to supportcontainer 12 in the manner to be described.Main body 60 includes a generallyrectangular cutout 62 which is configured to accommodate the container in an intelocking manner when the container lid is closed. This is best illustrated in Figures 7 and 8 in conjunction with Figures 1 and 6. As seen Figure 7, with the container in place within cut- out 62,main section 20 is disposed on the back side ofmain body 60 such thatopposite edge sections edge 26 rest against the back sides of opposite edge sections of themain body 60 along and on opposite sides ofcutout 62. These latter edge sections are generally indicated by dotted lines at 64a and 64b in Figure 6. At the same time,lid 22 is located on the front side ofmain body 60, as best seen in Figure 8. The margin oredge sections margin 28 engage the front sides ofedges cutout 62 without opening the container. In fact, in order to initially position the container incutout 62 in the manner just described, the container lid must be opened and either the lid or main section must be passed through the cutout before the lid can be closed. Once the opened container is positioned within the cutout in this way, the lid is pivotally moved to its closed position. In this regard, the cutout itself includes a bottom cutout segment 66 (Figure 6) adapted to receivehinge mechanism 42 such that the main body does not interfere with operation of the hinge mechanism. For the same reason, cut- out 62 includes atop cutout segment 68 adapted to receive thelatch mechanism 50, that is, so that the tab body does not interfere with its operation. At the same time, these cut- out segments serve to properly align the container in place. - It should be apparent from the foregoing that the overall configuration of
cutout 62 inmain body 60 depends upon the overall configuration ofcontainer 12 and therefore may vary depending upon the configuration of its associated container. Nevertheless, the cutout configuration selected must be one which allows at least one edge section of the main body along the cutout to extend into the container between its main section and lid when the latter is closed for locking the container in place. The cutout is preferably configured so that at least two opposing edge sections of the main body extend into the container when the latter is closed. Obviously, in any of the configurations selected, the container must be allowed to be opened and closed within the cutout. In the case of a hinged and latching lid, the hinge and latching mechanisms must be allowed to function in their intended manner. Moreover, the container itself must be one which lends itself to this overall interlocking relationship with the tab body. - Having described the way in which
main body 60 supports its associatedcontainer 12, attention is now directed to the way the entire arrangement is supported onhook 18 ofpost 16 in Figure 1. All that is necessary to accomplish this is to provide the main body with a through-hole 70 which is preferably located directly abovecutout 62. This through-hole receives thehook 18 or any other shelf type peg in the manner illustrated in Figure 1. In this regard, note that the entire front face of the container remains uncovered and in direct view for inspection by potential customers. This includeswindow 30 which readily displays the cosmetic therein.
