Description
La présente invention concerne un boítier de maquillage ou analogue, comprenant un corps logeant une réserve de produit, un couvercle et un organe d'étanchéité comportant une lèvre déformable s'étendant autour de la réserve de produit lorsque le boítier est fermé, le couvercle ou le corps du boítier venant appuyer sur ledit organe d'étanchéité lorsque le boítier est fermé.The present invention relates to a makeup case or the like, comprising a body housing a reserve of product, a cover and a sealing member comprising a deformable lip extending around the reserve of product when the housing is closed, the cover or the body of the housing coming to press on said sealing member when the case is closed.
On connaít de nombreux boítiers de ce type.We know many cases of this type.
On connaít notamment par les brevets US 3 144 167 et 5 186 318 des boítiers comportant une lèvre d'étanchéité venue de formation avec une coupelle contenant la réserve de produit, cette lèvre s'écartant de la coupelle et du corps du boítier puis étant recourbée vers le corps du boítier à sa périphérie pour prendre appui sur celui-ci.Known in particular by US patents 3,144,167 and 5,186,318 of housings comprising a sealing lip formed by formation with a cup containing the reserve of product, this lip deviating from the cup and from the body of the case then being curved towards the body of the housing at its periphery to bear on it.
Il existe un besoin pour accroítre encore l'herméticité des boítiers de maquillage afin d'empêcher l'évaporation des solvants contenus dans le produit, sans pour autant que les moyens utilisés pour obtenir l'étanchéité recherchée nuisent à l'esthétique ou rendent le boítier trop coûteux à fabriquer.There is a need to further increase the hermeticity of the makeup cases in order to prevent the evaporation of the solvents contained in the product, without, however, the means used to obtain the desired seal adversely affect the aesthetics or make the too costly to manufacture.
L'invention vise à proposer un nouveau boítier de maquillage, tel que défini dans
la revendication 1.The invention aims to propose a new makeup case, as defined in
Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, la pièce de support fait partie d'une coupelle logeant la réserve de produit.In a particular embodiment, the support part is part of a cup housing the product reserve.
Ainsi, l'organe d'étanchéité peut être réalisé d'un seul tenant avec la coupelle, ce qui simplifie la fabrication du boítier puisque le nombre de pièces séparées à assembler est réduit.Thus, the sealing member can be made in one piece with the cup, this which simplifies the manufacture of the case since the number of separate parts to be assembled is reduced.
Toujours dans une réalisation particulière, ladite pièce de support se présente sous la forme d'un rebord annulaire.Still in a particular embodiment, said support piece is presented under the shape of an annular rim.
De préférence, l'organe d'étanchéité est surmoulé sur ladite pièce de support ou réalisé par bi-injection avec elle.Preferably, the sealing member is overmolded on said support piece or made by bi-injection with it.
De préférence encore, ladite pièce de support présente des ajours et l'organe 0d'étanchéité comporte une partie supérieure et une partie inférieure qui se raccordent au travers desdits ajours, ladite partie inférieure s'étendant sous ladite pièce de support et venant en appui sur le corps du boítier. Cette partie inférieure présente avantageusement une forme annulaire et s'applique de façon étanche sur le corps du boítier.More preferably, said support piece has openings and the member Sealing 0 has an upper part and a lower part which are connected to the through said openings, said lower part extending under said support piece and coming to bear on the body of the housing. This lower part presents advantageously an annular shape and applies tightly to the body of the case.
Dans une mise en oeuvre particulière de l'invention, l'organe d'étanchéité comporte deux lèvres annulaires d'étanchéité concentriques, aptes à s'appliquer de façon étanche sur le couvercle lorsque le boítier est fermé.In a particular implementation of the invention, the organ sealing has two annular sealing lips concentric, suitable for sealingly applied to the cover when the case is closed.
Dans une réalisation particulière, lesdites lèvres d'étanchéité présentent chacune en section une forme générale demi-circulaire dont la concavité est tournée vers ladite pièce de support.In a particular embodiment, said sealing lips each have a generally semicircular shape in section, the concavity is turned towards said support piece.
Dans une autre réalisation particulière, la pièce du support est constituée par un cache, éventuellement amovible, rapporté sur le corps du boítier. Ce cache peut servir par exemple à retenir dans le corps du boítier une coupelle contenant la réserve de produit.In another particular embodiment, the support part consists of a cover, possibly removable, attached to the body of the housing. This cover can be used for example to retain in the body of the housing a cup containing the reserve of product.
Il est particulièrement avantageux dans ce mode de réalisation que l'organe d'étanchéité, fixé au cache, s'interpose de façon étanche non seulement entre le cache et le couvercle lorsque le boítier est fermé mais également entre le cache et le corps du boítier, pour empêcher l'évaporation des solvants contenus dans le produit par le jeu qui existe entre le cache et le corps du boítier.It is particularly advantageous in this embodiment that the sealing member, fixed to the cover, interposes in a sealed manner not only between the cover and the cover when the case is closed but also between the cover and the body of the case, to prevent the evaporation of the solvents contained in the product by the clearance that exists between the cover and the body of the housing.
Dans une réalisation particulière, l'un du couvercle ou du corps de boítier comporte au moins une lumière réniforme et l'autre du couvercle ou du corps comporte un axe d'articulation engagé dans ladite lumière, l'agencement de ladite lumière et dudit axe d'articulation étant tel que lorsque le couvercle est fermé, l'axe d'articulation peut se déplacer dans ladite lumière de manière à ce que le couvercle vienne appuyer sur l'organe d'étanchéité d'une manière sensiblement uniforme.In a particular embodiment, one of the cover or body has at least one kidney-shaped lumen and the other of the cover or of the body has a hinge pin engaged in said light, the arrangement of said light and said axis of articulation being such that when the cover is closed, the axis of articulation can move in said light so that that the cover comes to press on the sealing member of a substantially uniformly.

On a représenté sur les figures 1 et 2 un boítier de maquillage
1 conforme à un premier exemple de réalisation de l'invention.There is shown in Figures 1 and 2 a
Ce boítier 1 comporte un corps 2 et un couvercle 3 articulé sur
ce corps 2 au moyen d'une charnière 5 qui n'est visible que sur la
figure 2.This
Un fermoir 4 est prévu à l'opposé de cette charnière 5 pour
maintenir le couvercle 3 en position de fermeture.A
Le corps 2 comporte une cavité centrale 6 logeant une coupelle
7 contenant une réserve de produit P, par exemple un produit de
maquillage tel qu'un fond de teint ou un produit de soin.The
La coupelle 7 est fermée à sa partie inférieure par une paroi
de fond 8 souple, permettant à l'utilisateur de pousser vers le haut
un piston 9 pour distribuer le produit P à travers un tamis 10
solidaire de la partie supérieure de la coupelle 7.The
Un tampon en mousse 14 est prévu dans le piston 9 pour
homogénéiser la distribution du produit P. A
Ce dernier peut être pulvérulent ou pâteux par exemple.The latter can be powdery or pasty for example.
La coupelle 7 comporte une paroi cylindrique en matière
plastique relativement rigide, par exemple du polypropylène ou du
polyéthylène qui guide le coulissement du piston 9 et qui se prolonge
à son extrémité supérieure et radialement vers l'extérieur par un
rebord annulaire 11a, lequel est muni à sa périphérie d'un retour 12
dirigé vers le bas.The
Le rebord 11a constitue une pièce de support au sens de
l'invention et il est traversé par des perçages 13 angulairement
répartis autour de l'axe de la coupelle 7, ces perçages servant à
l'ancrage d'un organe d'étanchéité 15 en matériau élastomère qui va
maintenant être décrit en référence aux figures 3 et 4.The
L'organe d'étanchéité 15 comporte une base 20 qui recouvre une
grande partie de la face supérieure du rebord annulaire 11a, se
prolonge vers le bas par des ponts de matière 16 traversant les
perçages 13, et forme deux lèvres annulaires 17, 18 d'étanchéité qui
viennent prendre appui dans un léger renfoncement annulaire 19 de la
face supérieure du corps 2 du boítier.The sealing
Deux lèvres annulaires concentriques 21, 22 forment saillie
vers le haut sur la base 20, ces lèvres se situant sensiblement de
part et d'autre des perçages 13.Two concentric
Les lèvres annulaires 21, 22 sont conformées pour venir au
contact d'un bossage annulaire 24 du couvercle 3 lorsque ce dernier
est en position de fermeture, comme représenté sur la figure 4.The
Le rayon de courbure de ce bossage 24 est tel que les lèvres 21
et 22 s'écartent légèrement à son contact.The radius of curvature of this
L'organe d'étanchéité 15 permet d'obtenir une double étanchéité
grâce au contact de chacune des lèvres 21,22 sur le couvercle, ce qui
rend très difficile l'évaporation des solvants contenus dans le
produit P.The sealing
En outre, du fait que les lèvres 21 et 22 fléchissent assez
peu, elles ne risquent pas de perdre la mémoire de leur forme initiale
si le boítier reste fermé pendant longtemps.In addition, the fact that the
Enfin, bien que réalisé dans une matière plastique relativement
rigide, le rebord 11a peut fléchir légèrement lorsque le boítier est
fermé. Finally, although made of a relatively rigid plastic, the
La déformation du rebord 11a empêche, le cas échéant, que les
lèvres 21 et 22 soient soumises à une force de compression trop
importante lorsque le couvercle 3 est fermé.The deformation of the
Bien entendu, la forme de l'organe d'étanchéité n'est pas limitée à l'exemple de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit.Of course, the shape of the sealing member is not limited to the embodiment which has just been described.
A titre d'exemple, on a représenté sur la figure 5 une première
variante de réalisation de l'organe d'étanchéité, lequel porte à
présent la référence 30.By way of example, FIG. 5 shows a first
alternative embodiment of the sealing member, which leads to
presents
L'organe d'étanchéité 30 représenté sur la figure 5 comporte
une partie supérieure 31 qui recouvre partiellement la face supérieure
du rebord de la coupelle 7, lequel est ici référencé 11b, et une
partie inférieure 32 qui s'étend sous le rebord 11b et vient prendre
appui par deux lèvres annulaires 33 et 34 sur le corps 2.The sealing
La partie supérieure 31 comporte deux lèvres annulaires 35, 36
dirigées vers le haut, délimitant entre elles une gorge 37 assez large.The
Les parties supérieure 31 et inférieure 32 se raccordent par
une pluralité de ponts de matière 41, 42 et 43, lesquels traversent
des perçages 38, 39 et 40 réalisés dans le rebord 11b à des rayons
différents et équirépartis angulairement autour de l'axe de la
coupelle 7.The upper 31 and lower 32 parts are connected by a plurality of
Les ponts de matière 42 se raccordent à la partie supérieure 31
dans le fond de la gorge 37. Les ponts de matière 41 et 43 se situent
de part et d'autre de cette gorge 37.The
L'organe d'étanchéité 30 est surmoulé sur le rebord annulaire
11b.The sealing
La lèvre 33, radialement la plus extérieure, s'interpose de
façon étanche entre le rebord 11b et le corps 2 du boítier et permet
notamment d'empêcher que des salissures ne s'accumulent sous le rebord
11b.The
On a représenté sur les figures 6 et 7 une deuxième variante de réalisation de l'organe d'étanchéité, lequel est ici référencé 50.FIGS. 6 and 7 show a second variant of realization of the sealing member, which is here referenced 50.
Le rebord de la coupelle 7 porte la référence 11c et diffère
des rebords 11a et 11b précédemment décrits par le fait qu'il est
moins large.The rim of the
L'organe d'étanchéité 50 comporte une lèvre annulaire 51 qui
s'étend radialement vers l'extérieur et vers le haut, en porte à faux
par rapport au rebord 11c. The sealing
Cette lèvre annulaire 51 est prolongée, vers le bas, par des
points de matière 52 qui traversent des perçages 53 du rebord llc et
qui se raccordent sur un bourrelet annulaire 54 venant prendre appui
de façon étanche sur le corps 2 du boítier.This
Lorsque le boítier est fermé, le couvercle 3 appuie sur le bord
libre de la lèvre 51 qui fléchit.When the case is closed, the
Le contact entre la lèvre 51 et le couvercle s'effectue selon
une bande annulaire très étroite, ce qui permet d'obtenir une pression
de contact élevée, favorable à une bonne étanchéité.The contact between the
On a représenté sur les figures 8 et 9 un organe d'étanchéité
60 qui diffère de l'organe d'étanchéité 15, précédemment décrit en
référence aux figures 2 à 4, par la forme de la partie supérieure qui
recouvre partiellement le rebord de la coupelle 7, référencé ici
11d, et sensiblement identique aux rebords 11a et 11b
précédemment décrits.There is shown in Figures 8 and 9 a sealing
L'organe d'étanchéité 60 est fixé sur le rebord 11d
sensiblement de la même façon que l'organe d'étanchéité 15
précédemment décrit.The sealing
La partie supérieure de l'organe d'étanchéité 60 comporte deux
lèvres ou bourrelets annulaires 62 et 63 ménageant entre eux une gorge
64 assez étroite.The upper part of the sealing
La partie supérieure de l'organe d'étanchéité est en outre
reliée, par des ponts de matière 61, à une partie inférieure
constituée par des lèvres 65,66 concentriques reposantsur le corps
2 du boítier.The upper part of the sealing member is further
connected, by bridges of
Le couvercle 3 comporte deux nervures annulaires concentriques
68, 69 formant saillie sous sa face intérieure et disposées de manière
à s'appliquer sur le sommet des bourrelets 62 et 63 lorsque le boítier
est fermé, comme représenté sur la figure 9.The
Les bourrelets 68 et 69 s'aplatissent légèrement au contact des
nervures 68 et 69, leur déformation étant facilitée par la présence de
la gorge 64.The
L'organe d'étanchéité 70, représenté sur la figure 10, comporte
des plots 71 qui sont logés dans des perçages 72 du rebord 11. Ces
plots 71 sont prolongés vers le haut par une lèvre souple 73 qui
s'amincit et qui est dirigée radialement vers l'extérieur. The sealing
A la différence des réalisations précédemment décrites,
l'organe d'étanchéité 70 ne se prolonge pas sous le rebord de la
coupelle 7, ici référencé 11e.Unlike the embodiments previously described, the sealing
L'étanchéité entre le corps du boítier et le couvercle est
obtenue, lorsque le boítier est fermé, par flexion de la lèvre 73,
d'une manière analogue à ce qui a été décrit en référence aux figures
6 et 7.The seal between the body of the case and the cover is
obtained, when the housing is closed, by bending the
Pour empêcher aux impuretés de gagner l'espace situé sous le
rebord 11c, on a réalisé sur le corps 2 du boítier une nervure
annulaire 75 et à la périphérie du rebord 11e un retour 76 vers le
bas, destiné à venir au contact de la face radialement la plus
extérieure de la nervure 75.To prevent impurities from gaining space under the
On a représenté sur la figure 11 un organe d'étanchéité 80
conforme à un autre exemple de réalisation de l'invention.FIG. 11 shows a sealing
Dans cet exemple, le rebord de la coupelle, référencé 11f, est entièrement plat.In this example, the rim of the cup, referenced 11 f , is entirely flat.
La coupelle 7, à fond souple, décrite en référence à la figure
2, a été remplacée dans cet exemple, par une coupelle à fond rigide.The
Dans ce cas, le prélèvement du produit par l'utilisateur s'effectue sans avoir à pousser le fond de la coupelle, et il n'est pas nécessaire de prévoir un accès par l'utilisateur au fond de la coupelle depuis l'extérieur du boítier.In this case, the removal of the product by the user without having to push the bottom of the cup, and it is not no need for user access to the bottom of the cup from outside the case.
L'organe d'étanchéité 80 comporte une partie supérieure 81 qui
comprend deux lèvres 82 et 83 en appui sur le rebord 11f et ayant
chacune en section une forme demi-circulaire dont la concavité est
tournée vers le rebord 11f.The sealing
Les lèvres 82 et 83 se raccordent à une partie centrale 84
plate.The
Cette partie centrale 84 est prolongée vers le bas par quelques
ponts de matière 86 traversant des perçages du rebord 11f.This
Ces ponts de matière 86 se raccordent chacun à leur extrémité
inférieure à deux lèvres 87, 88 annulaires concentriques.These material bridges 86 are each connected at their end.
lower than two
Un épaulement 89 peut en outre être formé à la base des lèvres
87,88, comme représenté, pour prendre appui sur la face inférieure du
rebord 11f et améliorer l'ancrage du joint d'étanchéité sur celui-ci. A
Le couvercle 3 comporte deux nervures annulaires 90, 91
destinées à venir appuyer sur le sommet des lèvres 82, 83 lorsque le
boítier est fermé.The
Dans tous les exemples décrits, la coupelle contenant la réserve de produit est avantageusement remplie à part puis montée sur le corps du boítier.In all the examples described, the cup containing the product reserve is advantageously filled separately and then mounted on the body of the case.
Bien que dans les exemples décrits, l'organe d'étanchéité soit assujetti à la coupelle logeant la réserve de produit, on ne sort pas du cadre de l'invention en rendant l'organe d'étanchéité solidaire d'une toute autre pièce de support rapportée sur le couvercle ou sur le corps du boítier.Although in the examples described, the sealing member is subject to the cup housing the product reserve, we do not go out of the scope of the invention by making the sealing member integral any other support piece attached to the cover or on the body of the case.
A titre d'exemple, on a représenté sur la figure 12 un mode de
réalisation dans lequel l'organe d'étanchéité est assujetti à un cache
95 en matière plastique rigide qui est rapporté sur le corps du
boítier.By way of example, FIG. 12 shows a mode of
embodiment in which the sealing member is subject to a
Plus particulièrement, ce cache 95 sert dans l'exemple décrit à
maintenir un tamis 99 en place au-dessus du produit P.More particularly, this
Le cache 95 comporte à sa périphérie un rebord 96 conformé pour
s'encliqueter dans une gorge 97 du corps du boítier.The
Le cache 95 est en outre recourbé à son bord radialement
intérieur pour venir en appui contre le tamis 99.The
L'organe d'étanchéité peut être constitué par L'un quelconque des organes d'étanchéité précédemment décrits en référence aux figures 2 à 11.The sealing member can be constituted by any one sealing members previously described with reference to the figures 2 to 11.
On a représenté à titre d'exemple sur la figure 12 un organe
d'étanchéité identique à l'organe d'étanchéité 30 précédemment décrit
en référence à la figure 5.An organ is shown by way of example in FIG. 12
identical to the sealing
Cet organe d'étanchéité assure à la fois l'étanchéité entre le
cache 95 et le corps 2 du boítier et l'étanchéité entre le cache 95 et
le couvercle 3 lorsque le boítier est fermé.This sealing member ensures both the seal between the
On a pu constater que grâce à l'étanchéité entre le cache et le
corps du boítier on pouvait empêcher l'évaporation des solvants
contenus dans le produit P par le jeu qui existe entre le cache 95 et
le corps 2 du boítier.We have seen that thanks to the seal between the cover and the
body of the housing could prevent evaporation of solvents
contained in the product P by the play which exists between the
On a représenté sur les figures 13 à 15 une façon avantageuse de réaliser la charnière qui permet l'articulation du couvercle sur le corps du boítier. Figures 13 to 15 show advantageously to realize the hinge which allows the articulation of the cover on the body of the housing.
De préférence, on utilise un axe 100 fixé sur le corps 2 du
boítier, dont les extrémités dépassent de ce corps pour servir de
pivot au couvercle.Preferably, a
Plus précisément, ces extrémités sont engagées dans deux
lumières 101 réniformes du couvercle 3, ces lumières 101 étant
réalisées dans des flasques 104 généralement orientés
perpendiculairement au plan du couvercle.Specifically, these ends are engaged in two
kidney-shaped
Un fermoir 105 est prévu de côté opposé au flasque 104 pour
maintenir le couvercle en position de fermeture, de façon connue en
soi.A
Lorsque le boítier est ouvert, comme représenté sur la figure
13, les extrémités de l'axe 100 se situent au voisinage des extrémités
102 des lumières 101 qui sont les plus proches du dessus du couvercle.When the case is open, as shown in the figure
13, the ends of the
L'axe 100 reste dans la même position relativement aux lumières
101 durant le début de la phase de fermeture du couvercle, tant que ce
dernier ne prend pas appui sur l'organe d'étanchéité J, comme illustré
sur la figure 14.The
Cet organe d'étanchéité J peut être l'un quelconque des organes d'étanchéité précédemment décrits, et on ne l'a représenté sur les figures 13 à 15 que de façon très schématique.This sealing member J can be any one of the members previously described, and is only shown in the Figures 13 to 15 only very schematically.
Lorsque le couvercle 3 prend appui sur l'organe d'étanchéité J,
la rotation du couvercle s'accompagne d'un glissement de l'axe 100
dans les lumières 101 vers les extrémités 103 les plus éloignées du
dessus du couvercle, de sorte que ce dernier vient appuyer de manière
sensiblement uniforme sur l'organe d'étanchéité J.When the
