Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the packaging industry, more particularly to fusible substances, normally semi-rigid at usual ambient temperatures, such as lipsticks and other cosmetics, or pharmaceuticals, or household cleaning products. It more specifically aims at packaging such substances in small quantities, in particular at the end of sampling, for single use.
  • Document GB-A-0 888 612 discloses tubes of small red samplers fitting into each other.
  • the block of red is arranged in a conventional manner in the tube.
  • the object of the invention is to package small quantities of hot-melt substances for single use, in particular sampling, in simple, inexpensive packaging, easy to produce in large series, using only a very small quantity of substance. , and yet offering the appearance and shape of the end of the stick of normally marketed substance.
  • the subject of the invention is a single-use article for the individual packaging of a small quantity of fusible substance to be used by manual friction on a surface, characterized as indicated in claim 1.
  • the cap can advantageously be molded in one piece with the rod to which it is connected by a foldable articulation tongue for the insertion of the cap on the base of the perforated surface and its subsequent release for the use of the 'article.
  • such an article may be supplemented by a sealing cap for the open end of the rod.
  • This cover can be molded in one piece with the rod to which it can be connected by a foldable hinge tab or it can constitute a separate part, possibly inserted inside and at the bottom of the rod. by a sealing cap of the open end of the rod.
  • This cover can be molded in one piece with the rod to which it can be connected by a foldable hinge tab or it can constitute a separate part, possibly inserted inside and at the bottom of the rod.
  • the cover may be constituted by an external decorative case covering the rod, associated with a complementary decorative cap covering the cap of which it is integral.
  • An article according to the invention can be associated with a display, the base of which offers a plurality of supports for as many articles.
  • the cavity of the cap will have the same shape as the molded end of the corresponding cosmetic stick, in particular lipstick.
  • At least the cap is made of a transparent material allowing its coloration to be appreciated without spacing the cap.
  • the subject of the invention is also a method of manufacturing the above packaging article, characterized in that the substance to be conditioned is fluidized, in that it is poured into the article, cap inserted on said perforated surface, until the space between the cap and the dome is filled, leaving the rest of the rod substantially empty, and in that allows the substance to solidify on cooling in the article.
  • the article according to the invention shown in the figures essentially comprises, molded in one piece, for example made of preferably transparent polyethylene or polypropylene, a tubular rod 1 open at one end 2, and terminated at the other end by a conical dome 3, pierced with four lateral openings 6 a , 6 b , 6 c , 6 d , the cylindrical base 4 of which serves as a watertight seat for the fitting of the corresponding base of a cap 5, connected and articulated to the rod 1 by a folding tongue 7, molded in one piece, as shown in FIG. 1, with the rod 1 and its dome 3.
  • the cap 5 After molding the assembly (FIG. 1) the cap 5 is folded over the dome 3 (FIG. 3), then the substance to be packaged is poured, previously fluidized by heating, using a nozzle 12 at the end. open 2 of the rod 1 until filling of the gap 11 between the dome 3 and the cap 5 as well as the interior 13 of the dome ( Figure 4) which ensures, after solidification of the substance a good anchoring of its useful layer 14 outside the dome 3 at its base 15 inside the dome 3 at through the openings 6 of the dome.
  • the internal ogival cavity 16 of the cap 3 serves as a mold for the external part of the layer 14 of substance.
  • the tongue 7 can be made frangible by a zone 17 of less resistance which facilitates the folding of the tongue and makes it possible to separate the cap from the rest of the article for more free access to the layer of substance 14 during the use.
  • the packaging (FIG. 5) produced by pouring a substance (FIG. 4) into an article (FIGS. 1 to 3) can be completed by a cover 18 (FIG. 6) introduced into the open end 2 of the rod 1.
  • a such a cover 18 advantageously has a rim 19 of the same external diameter as the rod 1. It gives the rod greater rigidity and a better appearance when packaged, while protecting the base 15 of substance from possible deterioration by the atmosphere .
  • the cover 18 may consist of a separate part, as shown in solid lines in FIG. 6, one comes from molding with the rest of the article if it is attached to the rod 1 by a foldable tab 20, similar to the tongue 7 of the cap 3, as indicated in dotted lines in FIG. 6.
  • the packaging shown in Figure 7 is similar to that of Figures 5 and 6 but the rod 1 is covered with a decorative case 21 whose base blind fit into the open end 2 of the rod to form an inner seal 18 a.
  • a decorative cap 22 removably fits onto the open end of the case 21 which it completes, and has an internal rib 23 of frustoconical section snapped into a groove complementary to the base of the cap 5 a to which the hat is thus secured.
  • the cap 5 a is independent of the rod 1 and of the dome 3.
  • FIG. 8 shows a packaging similar to that of Figures 5 and 6, the open end 2 of the rod 1 is inserted removably on a tubular stud 24 from one side of a plate 25 forming a display for a plurality similar packaging.
  • the nipples can be opened 24 or closed 24 a . They can advantageously have an external annular rim 26 at their end inserted into the stem of a package in order to ensure better support there despite an easy insertion and extraction. Additional protection to the atmosphere of the substance base 15 can optionally be provided by a cover 18 b , indicated by dotted lines in FIG. 8, inserted at the bottom of the rod 1.
