Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of cases for cosmetic, make-up, hygiene or care products, and more particularly to make-up or powder boxes (or compacts) used in the field of cosmetology by women for powdering themselves. or for example to color their cheekbones or their eyelids, such cases also constituting in certain cases real articles of jewelry.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a housing which does not have the aforementioned potential drawbacks and which allows fine adjustment of the opening speed of the cover, whatever the frequency of handling it. here or from the housing and practically whatever its usual conditions of use.
  • the invention further provides, for even greater comfort of use and an optimum effect of controlling the opening of the cover, that said damping means will act during practically all, or at least the essential, of the opening stroke of the cover by absorbing, until substantially canceling it at the end of the travel, the energy communicated to the cover for its opening by its associated control means.
  • the invention recommends the use of a block of foam, and more particularly of a block of synthetic foam, for example PVC or impregnated polyurethane, the reliability and thermal stability of which are known, the cost price of which is low and the ease of both adapting the shape and setting up or even replacing it is great, without any risk of soiling the other parts of the housing.
  • a block of foam for example PVC or impregnated polyurethane
  • the block of foam will be placed near the hinge of articulation of the cover.
  • the box enclosure may contain a drawer which will be mounted therein sliding under the control of the articulation movement in rotation of the cover, the drawer enclosing at least one said damping means, such as advantageously that said second spring, which will compress or relax depending on the movement of the drawer, pressing against a fixed wall of the box.
  • FIG. 1 first of all, we therefore see illustrated a casing 2 for powder and / or make-up, essentially made of plastic, comprising a box 4 closed by a cover 6.
  • the cover essentially comprises a parallelepipedic block 8 with a bottom 8a and four perimeter side walls 8b inside which comes a frame 10 retaining a mirror 12 and provided, on one side (at the front), with a hook or notch 14 for locking in the closed position of the cover and, on the opposite side (at the rear), of a fallen wall extension defining a hinge zone 16, of transverse axis 18 with two lateral axial pins 20 adapted for journalling in bearings 22 of a part 24 linked to the box for example by fixing screws 25.
  • This part 24, which is a fixed part, has a generally parallelepiped shape generally having the appearance of a frame coming from fit between the four side walls 26a of the basic parallelepiped block 26 at the bottom 26b of the housing 4.
  • the box 26 has an opening 28 for the engagement through it of the parts 30, 32 forming the hook locking pusher 14 through the orifice 34 of the frame 24, when the cover must be closed, or unlocking the same hook when the box must be opened.
  • a drawer 36 is mounted movable in translation towards the front or the rear of the box.
  • the drawer 36 has two lugs 38 in which freely engage in rotation two pins 40 extending coaxially substantially parallel to the hinge axis 18, and belonging to a tilting part 42 mounted articulated in rotation around a fixed axis 44 also parallel to the axis 18, via an upper axial bead 46 capable of journalling in bearings such as 48, carried by two opposite side walls of the part 24.
  • the drawer 36 also has two lateral arms extending at right angles, parallel to the axis 18, by two wall primers each carrying an upper tongue 50, slightly inclined towards the rear and intended to come s 'each engage between two areas of the part 16 forming two front guide fingers 52 and rear 54, respectively (see also Figures 3 and 5).
  • the part 16 has here, between these lateral guide zones 52, 54 and its pins 20, a recess in which an insert 56 engages first carrying a first spring 58 wrapped around a shaft 60 carried by the part 56 and extending parallel to the axis 18, as well as a block of shock absorbing foam 62 for example in polyvinyl chloride with closed cells or in polyurethane impregnated acrylic and whose presence constitutes an important characteristic of the invention.
  • the spring 58 is a torsion spring, a hairpin, the two opposite end portions of which bear one against the rear side wall 26a of the box 26 , and for the other against the corresponding finger 52 (see Figures 2, 3 and 5).
  • the torsion spring 58 thus positioned will tend, upon release of the hook 14 by the operation of the pusher 30, to relax by communicating its expansion energy to the cover, thus causing it to open with a certain speed as a function of the force of the spring.
  • the object of the invention is to adjust this opening speed of the cover.
  • two complementary damping means namely: the block of damping foam 62 as well as a second spring (in this case a bending spring) 64 designed to be placed inside the drawer 36, bearing at the rear against the rear transverse wall 66 of the drawer and, at the front, against a fixed transverse wall 68 belonging to the framing part 24.
  • a second spring in this case a bending spring
  • the spring 64 can in particular be constituted by a metal blade folded substantially "in W" so as to be fairly clearly rigid at the start of deformation for, as soon as the catch 14 is released , effectively counteract the relaxation of the first spring 58 and thus communicate only a fairly low acceleration to the cover at the start of the race, thus a fortiori ensuring an adjustment of its opening speed which will be able to have the desired regularity and relative slowness, the relay for the second part of the race being taken by the foam block 62 which, as shown in FIG.
  • the user just has to bring the cover and the box towards each other, thereby releasing from their compression, the foam block 62 then the spring 64, and concomitantly compressing the opening spring 58, via a drive towards the rear of the drawer 36 by means of the control fingers 52 of the cover, the drawer naturally driving with it the plate 42 which returns to its low position inside the housing (FIG. 7), the maneuver ending in the attachment of the notch 14.
  • FIG. 8 shows an alternative embodiment of the sliding drawer identified here 36 ′ and which differs from the drawer 36 in that a tongue forming a bending spring 76 is integrally molded therewith. , with two branches constituting substantially a " ⁇ ", forming in the central part only one piece with the rear transverse wall 66 already mentioned, so that at the start of the slide 36 'stroke, the ends of the branches 76 come bear against the still existing wall 68 of the frame 24, thereby counteracting the effect of the still existing opening spring 58 (not shown here).
