Description

La présente invention concerne une boíte à couvercle articulé pour contenir au moins un objet. Cette boíte selon l'invention est destinée plus particulièrement à une utilisation dans le domaine des cosmétiques et renferme, dans ce cas, au moins un produit cosmétique tel que, par exemple, un godet de fard.The present invention relates to a box with hinged lid to contain at least one object. This box according to the invention is intended more particularly for a use in the field of cosmetics and contains, in in this case, at least one cosmetic product such as, for example, a bucket of eyeshadow.

Dans le domaine des produits cosmétiques, la promotion de nouveaux produits s'effectue souvent par la distribution d'échantillons au public.In the area of cosmetics, the promotion of new products are often made through distribution samples to the public.

Or, dans le cas de matériaux cosmétiques tels que les fards, la réalisation de boítes à fard classiques sous forme d'échantillon reste d'un coût relativement prohibitif.However, in the case of cosmetic materials such as eyeshadows, the production of classic make-up boxes in the form cost remains relatively prohibitive.

En effet, malgré l'utilisation de matières relativement bon marché pour constituer lesdites boítes, ces boítes restent relativement coûteuses du fait qu'elles présentent, généralement, un fond accueillant des godets contenant les fards et un couvercle articulé par une charnière sur ledit fond, lesdits fond et couvercle devant être moulés, par exemple, de manière spécifique pour former ladite charnière. La boíte doit comporter en outre des moyens de verrouillage.Indeed, despite the use of relatively good materials market to constitute said boxes, these boxes remain relatively expensive because they have, generally, a bottom accommodating buckets containing the eyeshadows and a lid hinged by a hinge on said bottom, said bottom and cover to be molded, by example, specifically to form said hinge. The box must also include locking means.

Il est possible d'utiliser également une boíte présentant un fond et un couvercle indépendants l'un de l'autre mais, dans ce cas, la boíte présente soit un couvercle vissable soit un couvercle encliquetable sur le fond, soit un couvercle articulé sur le fond.It is also possible to use a box with a bottom and cover independent of each other but, in in this case, the box has either a screwable cover or a snap-on cover on the bottom, i.e. a cover articulated on the bottom.

Dans tous les cas, il est nécessaire de prévoir des moules spécifiques et la réalisation reste relativement complexe et coûteuse. De plus, les différentes formes de boítes possibles restent limitées du fait du coût.In all cases, it is necessary to provide molds specific and implementation remains relatively complex and expensive. In addition, the different forms of boxes possible remain limited due to cost.

De plus, lorsqu'on souhaite présenter plusieurs échantillons en même temps, on préfère utiliser une boíte comportant plusieurs compartiments de réception pour des godets de fard par exemple. On connaít ainsi par DE-A-42 20 632 des boítiers dans lesquels le fond du boítier ou le fond d'un godet contenant un fard sont aimantés, un assemblage de godets étant ainsi mis en place et maintenus dans le boítier grâce au magnétisme. De tels boítiers sont cependant trop coûteux.In addition, when you wish to present several samples at the same time, we prefer to use a box with several receiving compartments for make-up buckets for example. We thus know by DE-A-42 20 632 of the housings in which the bottom of the housing or the bottom of a bucket containing a make-up are magnetized, an assembly of buckets thus being put in place and maintained in the housing thanks to magnetism. Such cases are however too expensive.

On connaít par US-A-3 315 718 et DE-A-29 38 552 des emballages constitués d'une couverture en matière synthétique ou en carton pliable comportant au moins sur une face une garniture propre à former un ou des logements de réception d'un objet tel que respectivement une boíte ou des objets électriques. Ces garnitures présentant des logements de réception sont constitués d'une matière plastique mise en forme par pressage, moulage par injection, emboutissage, etc., et sont rendues solidaires de la couverture.We know from US-A-3 315 718 and DE-A-29 38 552 packaging consisting of a plastic cover or in foldable cardboard comprising at least on one side a lining suitable for forming one or more receiving housings of an object such as a box or objects respectively electric. These fittings having housings of reception consist of a plastic material form by pressing, injection molding, stamping, etc., and are secured to the cover.

Par exemple, par DE-A-89 13 431, on connaít un étui pliable constitué d'une feuille de couverture en carton ou en papier rigide présentant deux plis délimitant deux parties reliées par une bande, une partie de la feuille de couverture étant rabattue sur l'autre. Deux garnitures sont posées respectivement sur chaque partie de la feuille de couverture de manière à venir en regard l'une de l'autre. Ces garnitures sont constituées d'une matière synthétique telle que du PET, du PS et du PP sous forme d'une feuille mise en forme par emboutissage. Un tel étui est avantageusement constitué de matériaux écologiques et recyclables et présente en outre l'avantage d'une fabrication relativement simple donc d'un coût économique intéressant. Cependant, le matériau en feuille formant les garnitures étant conformé par emboutissage, il convient de prévoir un outil d'emboutissage correspondant. Aussi, si on souhaite modifier la forme des garnitures et plus particulièrement des logements de réception formés dedans, on est obligé de prévoir un nouvel outil d'emboutissage ce qui se révèle coûteux.For example, by DE-A-89 13 431, there is a foldable case consisting of a cardboard or paper cover sheet rigid with two folds delimiting two connected parts by a strip, part of the cover sheet being folded over the other. Two seals are installed respectively on each part of the cover sheet so as to come opposite each other. These toppings consist of a synthetic material such as PET, PS and PP in the form of a sheet shaped by stamping. Such a case advantageously consists of ecological and recyclable materials and also presents the advantage of a relatively simple manufacturing therefore of a interesting economic cost. However, the material in sheet forming the linings being shaped by stamping, a stamping tool should be provided corresponding. Also, if we want to change the shape of the fittings and more particularly housing reception trained in it, we have to plan a new stamping tool which turns out to be expensive.

On connaít également par FR-A-2 642 625 un dispositif de maintien de godets de fards dans un boítier classique, ce dispositif étant constitué d'une grille souple munie d'alvéoles dans lesquelles sont logées lesdits godets, la grille étant logée dans le boítier. Ces alvéoles formant donc un creux dans un matériau souple par exemple une mousse de polyéthylène, sont obtenues lors du moulage de la grille. En conséquence, lorsqu'on souhaite changer le format des godets ou leur forme, on doit changer de moule. Ceci est donc également relativement onéreux et complexe à mettre en oeuvre.We also know from FR-A-2 642 625 a device for maintenance of make-up cups in a conventional case, this device consisting of a flexible grid provided cells in which said buckets are housed, the grid being housed in the housing. These cells therefore forming a hollow in a flexible material for example a foam polyethylene, are obtained during the molding of the grid. In consequence, when we want to change the format of the buckets or their shape, you have to change the mold. So this is also relatively expensive and complex to set up artwork.

Afin de pallier ces inconvénients, la présente invention propose une boíte offrant toutes les qualités requises pour une boíte, à savoir au moins un logement de réception pour un objet, une fermeture verrouillée du couvercle tandis que le coût de réalisation de ladite boite reste peu élevé, les matériaux utilisés ainsi que leur usinage étant économiques tout en offrant une grande liberté quant à la forme de réalisation de la boíte. In order to overcome these drawbacks, the present invention offers a box offering all the qualities required for a box, namely at least one reception housing for a object, a locked lid closure while the cost of producing said box remains low, the materials used and their machining being economical while offering great freedom as to the form of realization of the box.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet une boíte pour contenir au moins un objet, constituée d'une plaque en un matériau rigide ou semi-rigide présentant deux parties sensiblement identiques symétriques séparées par une bande reliée à chacune des parties par une rainure d'articulation et des moyens de verrouillage de la boite en position fermée, caractérisée en ce qu'au moins une feuille réceptrice comportant au moins un évidement de réception dudit objet débouchant sur une face est fixée par son autre face à l'une des parties de la plaque rigide ou semi-rigide, le ou les évidement(s) ménagé(s) dans la feuille réceptrice étant constitué(s) par un ou des perçages traversants ménagés dans la feuille réceptrice, le fond d'un évidement étant constitué par la partie de la plaque sur laquelle est fixée ladite feuille réceptrice.To this end, the invention relates to a box to contain at least one object, consisting of a plate made of a material rigid or semi-rigid with two parts substantially identical symmetrical separated by a strip connected to each of the parts by a hinge groove and means for locking the box in the closed position, characterized in that at least one receiving sheet comprising at least one recess for receiving said object emerging on one side is fixed by its other side to one parts of the rigid or semi-rigid plate, the recess (s) formed in the receiving sheet being consisting of one or more through holes made in the receiving sheet, the bottom of a recess being formed by the part of the plate on which is fixed said receiving sheet.

Ainsi, de manière avantageuse, on réalise facilement un évidement de réception en pratiquant un perçage traversant de la feuille réceptrice par simple découpage de la feuille réceptrice. Ce perçage traversant ou découpe ménagé dans la feuille réceptrice peut présenter avantageusement une forme complémentaire de la forme de l'objet à recevoir, par exemple un godet de fard ou toute autre forme souhaitée. En effet, il est simple de proposer des formes diverses et variées des évidements de réception, car il suffit simplement de modifier le plan de découpe des perçages traversants réalisés dans la feuille réceptrice pour modifier la forme desdits évidements de réception. On peut donc proposer des boítes présentant des évidements de réception dont la forme correspond à la forme de l'objet destiné à être logé dedans. Les évidements peuvent donc avoir des formes variées et complexes et ce, de manière simple.Thus, advantageously, one easily achieves a receiving recess by drilling through through the receiving sheet by simply cutting the sheet receptor. This through hole or cut in the receiving sheet can advantageously have a shape complementary to the shape of the object to be received, for example a bucket of make-up or any other desired shape. Indeed, it is simple to offer diverse and varied forms of receiving recesses, because you just have to modify the cutting plane of the through holes made in the receiving sheet for modifying the shape of said recesses reception. We can therefore offer boxes with receiving recesses whose shape matches the shape of the object intended to be housed in it. The recesses can so have varied and complex forms and this, so simple.

De plus, une boíte selon l'invention est facile à réaliser, les différents éléments tels que la plaque rigide ou semi-rigide, la feuille réceptrice, constituant la boíte étant obtenus également par simple découpage dans une plaque ou une feuille du matériau approprié. Il est donc simple de proposer des formes diverses et variées à la boíte selon l'invention et ce, à moindre coût, car il suffit de modifier le plan des découpes de la plaque ou de la feuille.In addition, a box according to the invention is easy to produce, the various elements such as the rigid or semi-rigid plate, the receiving sheet, constituting the box being also obtained by simple cutting from a plate or sheet of suitable material. It is therefore simple to propose various and varied forms in the box according to the invention and this, at a lower cost, because it suffices to modify the plan of cutouts from the plate or sheet.

La découpe de la feuille réceptrice pour former les perçages traversants définissant les évidements peut être réalisée par exemple par une découpe à l'emporte-pièce, à l'aide d'outils de découpe guidés selon un plan de découpe tels qu'un laser, des couteaux, etc.Cutting the receiving sheet to form the holes through defining the recesses can be achieved by example by cutting with a cookie cutter, using tools cutting guided by a cutting plane such as a laser, knives, etc.

Une boíte selon l'invention est donc facilement réalisable pour des formes différentes d'objets à recevoir sans que le coût soit trop lourd et n'implique un matériel trop lourd (comme le serait le besoin d'avoir plusieurs moules par exemple pour un emboutissage).A box according to the invention is therefore easily achievable for different shapes of objects to be received without the cost is too heavy and does not involve too heavy equipment (as would be the need to have several molds per example for stamping).

De manière avantageuse, dans l'évidement ménagé dans la feuille réceptrice, on peut donc mettre en place un objet que l'on souhaite enfermer dans la boíte. Les deux parties de la plaque rigide ou semi-rigide étant sensiblement identiques et symétriques, lorsque l'une des parties est rabattue sur l'autre pour fermer la boíte, lesdites parties se trouvent alors en regard l'une de l'autre avec leurs périphéries sensiblement superposées, tandis que la bande séparant les parties symétriques constitue l'élément charnière de la boíte, les moyens de verrouillage assurant une fermeture verrouillée de la boíte.Advantageously, in the recess in the receiving sheet, so we can set up an object that we want to lock in the box. The two parts of the rigid or semi-rigid plate being substantially identical and symmetrical, when one of the parts is folded over the other to close the box, said parts are found so facing each other with their peripheries substantially superimposed, while the strip separating the symmetrical parts constitutes the hinge element of the box, the locking means ensuring closure locked from the box.

Une feuille réceptrice peut présenter une forme identique à celle de la partie de la plaque rigide ou semi-rigide sur laquelle elle est fixée mais de dimensions inférieures de manière à s'inscrire dans la surface de ladite partie. Elle peut également présenter une forme différente s'inscrivant dans la surface de ladite partie de la plaque rigide ou semi-rigide. A receiving sheet may have a shape identical to that of the part of the rigid or semi-rigid plate on which it is fixed but smaller than so as to fit into the surface of said part. She can also have a different shape in the surface of said part of the rigid or semi-rigid plate.

Selon une première forme de réalisation, une feuille réceptrice est mise en place sur l'une des faces de la plaque rigide ou semi-rigide formant ainsi le fond de la boíte tandis que l'autre partie forme le couvercle et peut présenter un miroir.According to a first embodiment, a sheet receptor is placed on one of the faces of the plate rigid or semi-rigid thus forming the bottom of the box while the other part forms the cover and can present a mirror.

L'épaisseur de la feuille réceptrice fixée, par exemple par collage, sur la partie de la plaque rigide ou semi-rigide de manière à former le fond détermine la hauteur de la boíte ainsi formée, la largeur de la bande de la plaque rigide ou semi-rigide séparant les parties symétriques de celle-ci étant alors choisie sensiblement égale à celle de l'épaisseur de la feuille réceptrice.The thickness of the attached receiving sheet, for example by bonding, on the part of the rigid or semi-rigid plate of so as to form the bottom determines the height of the box thus formed, the width of the strip of the rigid plate or semi-rigid separating the symmetrical parts thereof then being chosen substantially equal to that of the thickness of the receiving sheet.

Selon une seconde forme de réalisation, une feuille réceptrice est mise en place sur chacune des parties de la plaque rigide ou semi-rigide.According to a second embodiment, a sheet receptor is placed on each part of the rigid or semi-rigid plate.

Dans ce cas, la largeur de la bande de la plaque rigide ou semi-rigide est choisie sensiblement égale à la somme des épaisseurs des deux feuilles réceptrices.In this case, the width of the strip of the rigid plate or semi-rigid is chosen substantially equal to the sum of thicknesses of the two receiving sheets.

De manière avantageuse, la plaque rigide ou semi-rigide présentant les deux parties symétriques séparées par une bande articulée sur chacune des parties est obtenue, par exemple, par découpe dans une feuille de matériau rigide tel que du carton ou un matériau complexe à base de carton tel qu'un carton plastifié ou semi-rigide tel que du polypropylène.Advantageously, the rigid or semi-rigid plate presenting the two symmetrical parts separated by a articulated band on each of the parts is obtained, by example, by cutting from a sheet of rigid material such as than cardboard or a complex cardboard-based material such as than plasticized or semi-rigid cardboard such as polypropylene.

De plus, lorsqu'on utilise du carton pour former la plaque présentant les deux parties symétriques, il est simple de conférer audit carton une couleur particulière et/ou de l'imprimer. Dans le cas de l'utilisation de polypropylène, ce matériau peut être obtenu dans une gamme étendue de couleurs et également être imprimé. La plaque peut être également réalisée dans un complexe à base de carton, par exemple un carton plastifié.In addition, when using cardboard to form the plate presenting the two symmetrical parts, it is simple to give said cardboard a particular color and / or print it out. In the case of the use of polypropylene, this material can be obtained in a wide range of colors and also be printed. The plate can also be produced in a cardboard-based complex, for example a plasticized cardboard.

De préférence, le matériau constituant une feuille réceptrice est un matériau élastiquement déformable tel qu'une mousse, de préférence relativement compacte, de manière à conférer à ladite feuille une certaine tenue puisque ladite feuille doit déterminer la hauteur de la boíte.Preferably, the material constituting a receiving sheet is an elastically deformable material such as foam, preferably relatively compact, so as to give said sheet a certain outfit since said sheet must determine the height of the box.

Le matériau constituant une feuille réceptrice peut également être du carton, un matériau complexe à base de carton ou du papier renforcé constituant une feuille de bonne tenue et étant en outre économiquement avantageux.The material constituting a receiving sheet can also be cardboard, a complex cardboard material or reinforced paper constituting a sheet of good performance and being further economically advantageous.

Afin de verrouiller la boíte en position fermée, on prévoit des moyens de verrouillage connus en soi tels que des moyens d'encliquetage réversible du type, par exemple bouton-pression, des moyens d'accrochage tels que des bandes textiles d'accrochage (du type bandes « Velcro » (nom déposé)), etc. ou des moyens de verrouillage par magnétisme. Dans ce dernier cas, lorsque la boíte présente deux feuilles réceptrices en regard l'une de l'autre, deux éléments aimantés sont logés respectivement dans une feuille réceptrice en regard l'un de l'autre. De préférence lorsque la boíte comporte une seule feuille réceptrice, on prévoit un bouton métallique dans la partie de la plaque rigide ou semi-rigide formant couvercle en regard d'un élément aimanté logé dans la feuille réceptrice sur le fond.In order to lock the box in the closed position, it is expected locking means known per se such as means reversible latching of the type, for example press button, hooking means such as bands hanging textiles (such as "Velcro" bands (name filed)), etc. or means for locking by magnetism. In the latter case, when the box has two sheets receptors facing each other, two elements magnetized are respectively housed in a sheet receptor facing each other. Preferably when the box has a single receiving sheet, there is provided a metal button in the rigid or semi-rigid part of the plate forming a cover opposite a magnetic element housed in the receiving sheet on the bottom.

Dans le cas d'une utilisation pour des produits cosmétiques, en particulier pour du maquillage, les objets accueillis par les évidements de la ou les feuilles réceptrices peuvent être des godets de fard, des tubes de rouges à lèvres, des tubes-applicateurs de mascara, des crayons pour les yeux, pour les lèvres, etc., ainsi que des instruments de maquillage tels que des pinceaux, des brosses, etc., les évidements présentent alors, de préférence, des formes complémentaires aux formes desdits objets pour les recevoir.In the case of use for cosmetic products, especially for make-up, the objects received by the recesses in the receiving sheet (s) may be make-up cups, tubes of lipsticks, applicator tubes of mascara, eye pencils, lips, etc., as well as makeup instruments such like paintbrushes, brushes, etc., the recesses then preferably have complementary shapes to the shapes of said objects to receive them.

Les objets peuvent être logés libres dans lesdits évidements de la boíte de manière à pouvoir être facilement préhensibles.The objects can be accommodated free in said recesses of the box so that it can be easily grippable.

Lorsqu'au contraire on souhaite maintenir fixe les objets dans lesdits évidements, cette fixation peut être réalisée par collage, par magnétisme, un élément aimanté étant fixé sur la plaque rigide ou semi-rigide dans le fond de l'évidement et attirant par exemple un objet métallique tel qu'un godet de fard.When, on the contrary, we wish to keep objects fixed in said recesses, this fixing can be carried out by gluing, by magnetism, a magnetic element being fixed on the rigid or semi-rigid plate in the bottom of the recess and for example attracting a metallic object such than a bucket of eyeshadow.

Selon une forme de réalisation préférée, en particulier lorsque la feuille réceptrice est en un matériau élastiquement déformable, les évidements de réception des objets que l'on souhaite fixer dans lesdits évidements, peuvent présenter une forme complémentaire et des dimensions telles que les objets sont alors engagés à force dans lesdits évidements.According to a preferred embodiment, in particular when the receiving sheet is made of a material elastically deformable, the recesses for receiving objects which one wishes to fix in said recesses, may have a complementary shape and dimensions such that the objects are then forcibly engaged in said recesses.

Une boíte selon l'invention est particulièrement intéressante d'un point de vue promotionnel pour proposer, par exemple, une gamme nouvelle de maquillage sous forme d'une boíte contenant un échantillon de chacun des produits de la gamme à savoir, le fard à joue, le fard à paupière, le mascara, le crayon contour de l'oeil, le rouge à lèvres, etc. Dans ce cas, la boíte selon l'invention renferme l'ensemble de ces produits à un coût intéressant.A box according to the invention is particularly interesting from a promotional point of view to offer, for example, a new range of make-up in the form of a box containing a sample of each product in the range to know, the blush, the eyeshadow, the mascara, the eye contour pencil, lipstick, etc. In this case, the box according to the invention contains all of these products at an attractive cost.

Outre le domaine des cosmétiques, et en particulier du maquillage, une boíte selon l'invention peut être utilisée dans de nombreux autres domaines. Ainsi, une telle boíte peut renfermer des pilules et autres cachets. Elle peut renfermer des instruments d'écriture ou de dessin tels que des stylos, des crayons, des pastilles de peinture, des godets de peinture, des pinceaux, des compas, etc. Elle peut également renfermée des instruments de manucure, de toilette tels qu'une brosse à dents et un tube dentifrice.In addition to the field of cosmetics, and in particular of make-up, a box according to the invention can be used in many other areas. So, such a box can contain pills and other cachets. It can contain writing or drawing instruments such as pens, pencils, paint chips, scoops of paint, brushes, compasses, etc. She can also contains manicure and toilet instruments than a toothbrush and a toothpaste tube.

On décrira maintenant plus en détail un exemple de réalisation de l'invention à l'aide du dessin annexé dans lequel :

  • la figure 1 représente une vue en plan d'une boíte selon l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 représente une vue en perspective avant d'une boíte selon la figure 1 en position de fermeture;
  • la figure 3 représente une vue en coupe transversale d'une boíte selon la figure 1 ; et
  • la figure 4 représente une vue en perspective avant d'une boíte selon la figure 1 en position d'ouverture.
    • An embodiment of the invention will now be described in more detail with the aid of the appended drawing in which:
  • Figure 1 shows a plan view of a box according to the invention;
  • 2 shows a front perspective view of a box according to Figure 1 in the closed position;
  • Figure 3 shows a cross-sectional view of a box according to Figure 1; and
  • 4 shows a front perspective view of a box according to Figure 1 in the open position.

    • Une boíte 1 selon l'invention est ici décrite en tant que boíte de fards, ladite boíte 1 étant appropriée à la réception de godets de fards. Bien entendu, on peut également prévoir dans cette boíte la réception d'objets autres que des godets de fards tels que des tubes de rouges à lèvres, des crayons pour les yeux, pour les lèvres, des tubes applicateurs de mascara, des flacons de vernis à ongles, de parfums, etc. ainsi que des instruments de maquillage tels que des pinceaux, des brosses, des houppes, etc...A box 1 according to the invention is here described as eyeshadow box, said box 1 being suitable for reception of make-up cups. Of course, we can also provide in this box the reception of objects other than make-up cups such as lipstick tubes, eye pencils, lip pencils, tubes mascara applicators, bottles of nail polish, perfumes, etc. as well as makeup instruments such as paintbrushes, brushes, tassels, etc ...

    La boíte 1 décrite ici à titre d'exemple est destinée à recevoir deux godets de fards. Cette boíte 1 est constituée d'une plaque 2 en un matériau rigide tel que du carton. Cette plaque 2 comporte deux parties symétriques 2a, 2b séparées par une bande 3 reliée à chaque partie 2a, 2b par une rainure d'articulation 4. The box 1 described here by way of example is intended for receive two scoops of eyeshadows. This box 1 is made up of a plate 2 of a rigid material such as cardboard. This plate 2 has two separate symmetrical parts 2a, 2b by a band 3 connected to each part 2a, 2b by a groove hinge 4.

    Cette plaque 2 est obtenue, par simple découpage d'une feuille de carton, par exemple un découpage à l'emporte-pièce ou au laser, les rainures d'articulation 4 étant obtenues par un ajustement de la profondeur de découpage.This plate 2 is obtained by simply cutting out a sheet of cardboard, for example a die cut or laser, the articulation grooves 4 being obtained by an adjustment of the cutting depth.

    On obtient ainsi deux parties 2a, 2b symétriques et articulées sur la bande 3 de telle sorte qu'il est possible de rabattre en regard l'une des parties 2b sur la partie 2a, les deux parties 2a et 2 b étant symétriques.Two symmetrical parts 2a, 2b are thus obtained and articulated on band 3 so that it is possible fold down one of the parts 2b over the part 2a, the two parts 2a and 2b being symmetrical.

    Sur l'une 2a des parties 2a, 2b de la plaque 2, on fixe une feuille réceptrice 5 en un matériau déformable telle qu'une mousse compacte présentant une certaine rigidité. La fixation peut être réalisée simplement par collage de ladite feuille réceptrice 5 sur la partie 2a de la plaque 2.On one 2a of the parts 2a, 2b of the plate 2, a receiving sheet 5 of a deformable material such as a compact foam with a certain rigidity. Fixation can be done simply by gluing said sheet receiver 5 on part 2a of plate 2.

    La feuille 5 présente de préférence une forme identique à la forme de la partie 2a sur laquelle elle repose mais de dimensions légèrement inférieures de manière à ménager entre ladite feuille 5 et les parties 2a et 2b un rebord. La feuille 5 peut également présenter une forme différente de la partie 2a mais s'inscrivant dans celle-ci.The sheet 5 preferably has a shape identical to the shape of part 2a on which it rests but of slightly smaller dimensions so as to leave between said sheet 5 and parts 2a and 2b a rim. The sheet 5 may also have a different shape from the part 2a but part of it.

    Cette feuille 5 en matériau déformable a une épaisseur qui est sensiblement égale à la largeur de la bande 3 de telle sorte que, lors du rabattement de la partie 2b sur la partie 2a, ladite partie 2b repose sur la face supérieure de la feuille 5 en matériau déformable parallèlement à la partie 2a, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 3.This sheet 5 of deformable material has a thickness which is substantially equal to the width of the strip 3 of such so that when the part 2b is folded over the part 2a, said part 2b rests on the upper face of the sheet 5 of deformable material parallel to the part 2a, as can be seen in Figure 3.

    La partie 2b formant couvercle peut accueillir sur sa face interne un miroir sous forme d'une feuille.The part 2b forming a cover can accommodate on its face internal a mirror in the form of a sheet.

    Sur la face de la feuille 5 opposée à la face de fixation, on ménage des évidements débouchant sur ladite face. Chaque évidement est constitué par un perçage traversant 9 dans ladite feuille 5, le fond des évidements étant alors constitué par la partie 2a sur laquelle la feuille 5 est fixée. Les découpes effectuées dans la feuille réceptrice 5 sont réalisées par exemple par découpage à l'emporte-pièce ou au laser.On the face of the sheet 5 opposite the fixing face, we cleaning of the recesses opening onto said face. Each recess is constituted by a through hole 9 in said sheet 5, the bottom of the recesses then being consisting of part 2a on which the sheet 5 is fixed. The cuts made in the receiving sheet 5 are made for example by die cutting or laser.

    De préférence, pour accueillir des godets de fards, on réalise des perçages traversants 9 de forme complémentaire à la forme des godets et dont les dimensions internes sont légèrement inférieures aux dimensions externes des godets de sorte que ceux-ci sont engagés à force dans lesdits évidements, ce qui assure leur maintien.Preferably, to accommodate eyeshadows, we performs through holes 9 of shape complementary to the shape of the buckets and whose internal dimensions are slightly smaller than the external dimensions of the buckets so that these are forcibly engaged in said recesses, which ensures their maintenance.

    De même, on peut prévoir des évidements dans la feuille réceptrice 5 pour accueillir au moins un instrument de maquillage tel qu'un pinceau pour l'application des fards, la forme et les dimensions de ces évidements étant déterminés en fonction de la forme et des dimensions desdits instruments de manière à laisser ceux-ci libres dans les évidements afin de faciliter leur préhension.Similarly, recesses can be provided in the sheet receiver 5 to accommodate at least one makeup such as a brush for applying eyeshadows, shape and dimensions of these recesses being determined in depending on the shape and dimensions of said instruments so as to leave these free in the recesses in order to facilitate their gripping.

    Les moyens de verrouillage de la position fermée de la boíte sont constitués par un bouton 6 mis en place au moins sur la face interne du couvercle 2b et par un élément aimanté 7 fixé dans un logement de réception ménagé dans la face supérieure de la feuille 5 de la boíte 1 de sorte que le rabattement du couvercle 2b sur le fond 2a met en regard ledit élément aimanté 7 et le bouton métallique 6, la fermeture se faisant par attraction magnétique.The means for locking the closed position of the box consist of a button 6 placed at least on the inner face of the cover 2b and by a fixed magnetic element 7 in a reception housing in the upper side sheet 5 of box 1 so that the drawdown of cover 2b on the bottom 2a places said element opposite magnetized 7 and the metal button 6, the closing being done by magnetic attraction.

    Afin de faciliter l'ouverture de la boíte 1, on peut ménager, au voisinage desdits moyens de verrouillage, une échancrure 8 (représentée en pointillés à la figure 1) dans le pourtour de la feuille réceptrice 5 de sorte qu'il est possible d'imprimer une pression sur la partie 2a de la plaque 2 dans le fond de la boíte 1 tout en entraínant la partie 2b de la plaque 2 formant couvercle vers sa position d'ouverture. Dans le cas d'une boíte comportant deux feuilles réceptrices 5, on peut ménager ladite échancrure dans le pourtour de l'une ou des deux feuilles 5.To facilitate the opening of the box 1, we can spare, in the vicinity of said locking means, a notch 8 (shown in dotted lines in Figure 1) around the edge of the receiving sheet 5 so it's possible to print a pressure on part 2a of plate 2 in the bottom of the box 1 while driving part 2b of the plate 2 forming a cover towards its open position. In the case of a box comprising two receiving sheets 5, we can spare said notch in the periphery of one or of the two sheets 5.

    Cette échancrure 8 permet donc à un utilisateur d'insérer l'extrémité d'une doigt d'une main tandis qu'avec l'autre main il entraíne le couvercle de la boíte 1.This indentation 8 therefore allows a user to insert the end of a finger with one hand while with the other hand it drives the cover of the box 1.

    La forme des parties identiques et symétriques 2a et 2b peut être quelconque de sorte qu'il est facile de passer d'une forme de boíte à une autre. Il suffit simplement de changer le plan de découpage des matériaux constituant ladite boíte 1 (plaque rigide ou semi-rigide et feuille réceptrice). la forme des évidements est libre et est déterminée par le plan de découpe de la feuille réceptrice pour former les perçages traversants 9.The shape of the identical and symmetrical parts 2a and 2b can be any so it's easy to go from one box shape to another. Just change the cutting plan of the materials constituting said box 1 (rigid or semi-rigid plate and receiving sheet). the shape of the recesses is free and is determined by the plan cutting the receiving sheet to form the holes through 9.

    Une boíte selon l'invention est particulièrement appropriée pour la distribution d'échantillons de maquillage ainsi qu'à une utilisation pour le conditionnement de maquillage en tant que jouets pour enfants, les matériaux constituant ladite boíte n'étant pas dangereux pour ceux-ci.A box according to the invention is particularly suitable for the distribution of makeup samples as well as to use for conditioning makeup as as children's toys, the materials constituting said box not being dangerous for them.
