Definitions

  • the invention relates to a case, in particular for cosmetic products, of the type comprising a bottom, a cover hinged on one edge of said bottom and means for snap-fastening the cover and the bottom on the edge opposite the articulation.
  • unlocking the latching means leaves the cover practically closed on the bottom, so that the user must open it, for example by inserting a fingernail in the space freed up between the bottom and lid.
  • the cover tends to return to the closed position by gravity, which is detrimental to rational use of the housing.
  • a return spring for example a helical spring wound around the articulation axis and the ends of which bear respectively on the bottom and the cover.
  • the mounting of such a spring is complicated and expensive for small boxes such as makeup boxes.
  • the restoring effort is difficult to dose so as not to cause an opening that is too sudden and / or too complete.
  • the present invention aims to provide a new housing of the preceding type in which the opening of the cover is facilitated by simple, effective and easy to install means.
  • the housing according to the invention is characterized in that the articulation of the cover on the bottom consists of two elastically deformable pins, a set of deformation being provided for each pin between the bottom and the cover, the bottom or the cover comprising in the vicinity of said articulation at least one stop parallel to the joint plane of the bottom and of the cover and / or at least one stop orthogonal to said joint plane.
  • the pins When closing and locking the cover on the bottom, the pins deform elastically in a plane passing through the pivot axis and substantially orthogonal to the joint plane for the first stop and / or substantially parallel to this joint plane for the second stop. This ensures perfect closure of the housing, determined by the stops and, when the lid is unlocked, the pins tend to return elastically to their rectilinear position, causing the lid to be pre-opened.
  • the pins are made of an elastic material such as rubber.
  • the pins are constituted by helical springs with contiguous turns.
  • the deformation clearance of each pin comprises an enlargement of the inlet of a bore for housing the pin in the cover and / or the bottom of the housing.
  • the housing consists of a bottom 1, provided with a recess 2 for make-up products, and of a cover 3 pivotally mounted on the bottom 1 by means of a hinge 4.
  • the cover 3 can be locked on the bottom 1 by latching means 5 opposite to the articulation 4.
  • the articulation 4 comprises two pins 6 which are elastically deformable, for example made of rubber or formed by a helical spring with contiguous turns.
  • Each pin 6 is housed in a bore 7 of the cover 3 and in a bore 8 of the bottom 1.
  • the bore 7 is blind while the bore 8 is through to allow the introduction of the pin 6 after pre-positioning of the base 1 and the cover 3.
  • a clearance J is provided for the elastic deformation of the pin 6.
  • the clearance J consists of a clearance 9 between the bottom 1 and the cover 3, increased by the length of an enlargement 10 of the entry of the bore 7 of the cover 3. Any other similar arrangement allowing the pin 6 to deform can of course be used.
  • the bottom 1 is provided with at least one stop 11 parallel to the joint plane 12 between the bottom 1 and the cover 3 and at least one stop 13 orthogonal to the joint plane 12.
