Definitions

  • the subject of the invention is a new packaging assembly for care products, usable more especially in the cosmetic field but also in any other area.
  • Care products are generally in the form of compositions rather fluid in appearance, such as creams, milks, ointments, gels, gel-creams. They are therefore generally packaged in tubes, bottles or in jars with a height greater than their length or width.
  • the Applicant therefore sought a new packaging for these new products, such as an extra-flat case like those used for powders in the field of makeup, and sought to achieve it in a transparent material such as glass or transparent resin.
  • these boxes conventionally include two parts, a plate and a receptacle articulated around a hinge.
  • these boxes are composed of multiple plastic intermediate parts which must be fixed by snapping onto glass parts, the latter having glass projections molded with said glass parts.
  • These glass pieces are complex and delicate. As a result, the manufacturing these cases is long and complicated. The cost price of these boxes is consequently high and does not allow to consider one industrial production, even for luxury goods.
  • the object of the invention is therefore a new product packaging unit. cosmetic, according to claim 1.
  • the plate itself can form cover or have a separate cover articulated around a hinge.
  • the invention resides in the fact that the receptacle is a piece of glass or resin one of the characteristics of which is that it has no protrusions and which can therefore be cast and molded so as to obtain a pure part without reflection optics due to complicated undercuts.
  • the receptacle has at least one chimney, which can be shaped cylindrical or not, hereinafter called holding chimney, and the plate can be fitted with one or more hooking lugs which, slammed or pinned in the support chimney (s) ensure the attachment of the plate, the receptacle and possibly the cover.
  • the plate and, if necessary, the cover may be made of plastic or made of precious material (metal).
  • the packaging assembly thus produced therefore comprises a molded receptacle obtained without undercut. It thus has the advantage of being of great purity of form and of being able to be manufactured on an industrial scale in a very simple and at a relatively modest cost.
  • the housing according to the invention also has the advantage of being extra-flat and is therefore ideal for packaging new cream textures compact skincare products.
  • the ratio of the height of the case to its length or width is less than 0.2.
  • the housing may include in addition to a separate bottom part of the receptacle.
  • This bottom piece can also be provided with fixing means which cooperate with the leg (s) for hooking the plate and / or with the chimney or chimneys holding the receptacle. The latter is then sandwiched between the cover and the piece of background.
  • the bottom piece which can be plastic or precious material (metal), can thus possibly hide some defects of the piece of glass.
  • the housing referenced 1 as a whole essentially comprises a plate 2 on which is hinged a cover 3 around a hinge 9 and a glass receptacle 4.
  • the housing 1 also includes a bottom piece 5.
  • the bottom piece 5 has four holding chimneys 50, each of them being in two parts cylindrical, an upper part 52 and a lower part 53, these two parts defining a stop 54.
  • the plate 2 has hooking lugs 6 ensuring the assembly of the receptacle 4 and the plate 2 via cylindrical holding chimneys 7 whose diameter is constant and which are formed on the receptacle 4 along the same axis as the chimneys 50 of the bottom part 5.
  • the holding chimneys 7 are arranged at the four corners of the receptacle and integrated into the perfect parallelepiped that the latter forms.
  • At each chimney 7 for holding the receptacle 4 corresponds to a chimney 50 of the bottom part 5 and, opposite the plate 2, a lug 6 whose height is slightly greater than that of the retaining chimney 7.
  • the hanging tabs 6 comprise a part cylindrical 61 whose diameter is less than that of the holding chimneys 7 and whose end, curved on the outside, forms a cylindrical skirt 64 taking support on the stop 54 defined by the two cylindrical parts 52 and 53 of the chimney 50 of the bottom part 5.
  • the receptacle 4 comprises a housing 8 for the product, in particular a face care cream having the appearance of a blush. This receptacle 4 has no projection.
  • Box 1 includes also a cover 10 used to protect the product and which is articulated around of the hinge 9.
  • This cover fits the housing 8 for the product and has the shape a bowl in its middle part.
  • the cover 3 includes a mirror 11 on its internal face 3a.
  • the case 1 is also provided with a clasp 19, incorporated in the cover, snapping on the bottom piece 5 when the housing is in closed position.
  • the receptacle 4 as shown in Figures 1 to 4 has a shape one of whose three dimensions, namely the height h, is very less than the other two, namely the length L and the width l.
  • the ratios h / l and h / L, identical or different are less than 0.2 and preferably range from 0.07 to 0.12.
  • the manufacture of the receptacle can be carried out very simply by melting glass or pouring resin into a mold in a two-part parallelepiped shape fitted with studs at the locations of the chimneys, the part forming cover with a protrusion at the location of the housing for the product.
  • the cover can also have an O-ring intended to seal between the plate and the lid.
  • the clasp may come snap into a concave notch on an outer surface of the receptacle or even be formed of two separate elements, one incorporated to the cover and the other to the bottom piece.
  • the bottom piece is in plastic, we obtain a more elastic, more flexible and more pleasant.
  • the hinge can be a polypropylene film hinge.
  • the bottom piece can also include storage spaces that can hold all kinds of products, in particular make-up products.
  • FIGS. 5a to 5e are shown different embodiments of the means for fixing the plate to the receptacle.
  • Figures 5a and 5e show the means for fixing the plate 2 on the receptacle 4 in the embodiment of the particular invention where the housing 1 does not have a bottom piece.
  • the holding chimney or chimneys 7 of the receptacle 4 consist of two coaxial cylindrical parts, one part upper cylindrical 21 directed towards the plate 2 and a cylindrical part lower 22, of different diameters, the diameter of the lower part 22 being higher than that of the upper part 21.
  • Each hooking lug 6 is here buttoned in the corresponding chimney 7.
  • Leg 6 has a peripheral flange 62 bearing on the stop 63 defined between the two cylindrical parts 21 and 22.
  • FIG. 5e represents the case where the plate 2 and the receptacle 4 are assembled by pinching using a clip 18.
  • the plate 2 and the receptacle 4 are centered one on the other thanks on the one hand, to a boss 20 integral with the plate 2, this boss 20 penetrating inside the chimney 7 of maintenance and on the other hand, with two parts reentrant 32a and 32b of the clip 18, each of these parts being located on a U branch on either side of the chimney 7 holding.
  • FIGS. 5b to 5d show different possible fixing means in the embodiment of the invention where the housing 1 is provided with a bottom part 5.
  • the holding chimney or chimneys 7 consist of a single cylinder 23.
  • FIG. 5b represents the case where the plate 2, the receptacle 4 and the bottom part 5 are assembled by means of individual pins 24, each of these pins 24 being provided at its lower end with a washer 25.
  • the bottom part 5 comprises, as for Figures 1 to 4, a chimney 50 in two cylindrical parts, an upper part 52 and a lower part 53, these two parts defining a stop 54 arranged coaxially with the maintenance chimney 7.
  • Pin 24 crosses chimneys 7 and 50 and holds the bottom part 5 and the receptacle 4 together using the washer 25 which is supported on the stop 54.
  • Figures 5c and 5d show a configuration for an assembly of parts by snap.
  • the hanging lug 6 here consists of a small pin 14 whose end is a cylinder 15.
  • Figure 5c is a section along the plane perpendicular to, and bisector of, cylinder 15 of the pawn, i.e. the plane represented by line C-C in Figure 5d
  • Figure 5d is a section along the line D-D in Figure 5c.
  • the bottom part 5 is also provided with a tab attachment 16 comprising two clamps 17 which click on the cylinder 15 in imprisoning him. This assembly of the plate 2 on the bottom part 5 is done at within the retaining chimney 7, the plate 2 and the bottom part 5 taking sandwich the receptacle 4.
  • FIG. 6 represents the assembly of the plate 2 on the receptacle 4 by breakdown in the case where the bottom part 5 comprises for example a housing for storage or drawer.
  • the bottom piece 5 has a chimney 50 in two cylindrical parts, an upper part 52 and a lower part 53, these two parts defining a stop 54 arranged coaxial with the chimney 7 of maintenance.
  • the hanging tab 6 comprises a cylindrical part whose end, curved on the outside, forms a skirt cylindrical 64 which rests on the stop 54.
  • the receptacle 4 is here again taken sandwiched between plate 2 and bottom piece 5.
  • Figure 7 is a top view of the housing 1 when the receptacle 4 has the shape of an ellipse, the bottom part 5 comprising a drawer 12.
  • the receptacle 4 does not comprises only two retaining chimneys arranged in particular according to the major axis of the ellipse, each being in a rounded part, both ends of the ellipse.
  • FIG. 8a and 8b are sectional views, respectively along lines A-A and B-B, of FIG. 7 in which the plate 2 and the cover 3 are combined and attached to the bottom part 5 by the hinge 9.
  • the housing 1 here comprises a drawer 12 shown open in FIG. 8a.
  • the receptacle 4 is integral with the bottom piece 5 thanks to the hooking lugs 16 of the bottom piece 5 which are slammed into the holding chimneys 7 of the receptacle 4.
