Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a housing, intended to be used in particular for the packaging of a makeup product, in the form of a powder or a compact.
  • a housing intended to be used in particular for the packaging of a makeup product, in the form of a powder or a compact.
  • a blush an eyeshadow or a blush.
  • the makeup products are packaged in transparent blisters, which are suspended on a generally metallic support.
  • a display cabinet vertical containing a whole range of products allows the client to carry out directly his choice and his purchase. The choice is however sometimes made difficult by because of the large number of products on display.
  • US-A-5,353,947 also describes a housing of the type comprising a cover mounted directly on a bottom via a hinge pin. After having done pivoted the cover relative to the bottom, around the axis of articulation, so as to orient the cover and the bottom 180 ° to each other, the cover is moved under the bottom by sliding the "nipples" defining the axis of articulation in corresponding slides arranged in the cover. The presence of the slides in the cover requires the use of at least one more expensive mold for the realization of such a housing. In addition, the gestures are more restrictive.
  • a housing comprising a bottom and a cover capable of reversibly covering said bottom, said cover being mounted on the bottom so that, in the open position, it can be position under said bottom, characterized in that the cover is mounted sliding on a connecting member articulated on said bottom.
  • the organ link is articulated around an axis Y, perpendicular to an axis X of the housing, said cover being sliding relative to the connecting member, along the axis X.
  • said connecting member can be articulated around an axis parallel to the X axis, said cover being sliding relative to the connection, along an axis perpendicular to the X axis.
  • such a housing can be made in four parts: a bottom, a cover, a hinge pin, and a connecting member. Its operation, both opening and closing is simple. Such a case is robust, and economical to achieve.
  • the connecting member as a guide member for the cover, when the cover is slid under the bottom, which makes gesturing easier, both when opening and closing.
  • the housing is obtained from molding, the molds necessary for its are simpler, and therefore less expensive.
  • the mounting of the cover on the bottom, via a connecting member articulated with respect to at the bottom allows the pivot movement of the cover to be separated from the bottom, and the axial sliding movement of the cover under the bottom.
  • the gesture is significantly improved.
  • the cover comprises a first face, called “internal”, intended, in the closed position of the housing, to come opposite the bottom, and a second face opposite the first, said cover being mounted so that, when positioned under the bottom, said first face is in look of said bottom.
  • This characteristic is particularly advantageous in that that, in particular when a mirror is placed on the internal face of the cover, it is protected against any risk of damage during storage.
  • said connecting member can be formed in one piece by U, articulated on the bottom around an axis passing in the vicinity of the two ends free from the U, said cover being mounted to slide between said axis and the bottom of the U.
  • the cover can be moved parallel to its plane, until it reaches its final position under the bottom of the case.
  • the U-shaped connecting member is guided by a part by the bottom of the housing, and secondly, by the U-shaped connecting member.
  • stop means are provided to limit sliding of the cover relative to the connecting member between a first open position wherein the cover is disposed substantially in its entirety under the bottom, and a second position, called “pivoting", in which the cover is offset from the bottom, so that it can be tilted to the closing the case.
  • Latching means can be provided for reversibly locking said cover in said first and second positions.
  • said stop means comprise an element capable of reversibly locking said cover on the bottom.
  • a locking means comprises a tongue extending substantially in a plane perpendicular to a plane of the housing, and intended to cooperate by elastic deformation or by breakdown with a corresponding member provided on the bottom of the housing.
  • the clasp forms a stop in the position of the cover under the housing, while the other tab forms a stop in the "pivoting" position of the bottom relative to the cover.
  • said bottom forms at least a first compartment capable of receiving a product, in particular make-up.
  • the housing includes in addition a second compartment capable of receiving a member for applying the product, including a powder puff, brush, or brush.
  • the face of the case intended to come opposite the bottom may include a mirror.
  • Such a case can be used for packaging a makeup product, including a blush, a blush, an eyeshadow, or a background of complexion.
  • the housing 1 comprises a bottom 2, of longitudinal axis X.
  • the bottom 2 comprises one or more compartments 3, 4 which will be discussed in more detail below with reference to the Figure 2B.
  • a first end of the bottom ends with a section portion circular 10, crossed perpendicularly to the X axis of an orifice 5 (or more orifices arranged opposite one another) and intended to receive a rod 6, capable of define an axis of articulation around a Y axis perpendicular to the X axis, of a connecting member 7 relative to the bottom.
  • the connecting member 7 consists of a element substantially U-shaped.
  • the two branches 8, 9, of the U are crossed in the vicinity of their free end by an orifice 11, 12 capable of being put opposite the orifice (s) 5 of the bottom 2, so as to allow mounting articulated from the connecting member 7 on the bottom via the rod 6.
  • a recess 30 is provided in said portion 10 of circular section so as to form a housing for a member capable of abutting inside said housing. This characteristic will be described in more detail later.
  • a cover 20 of section similar to the bottom section 2 so as to, in the closed position, cover all of said bottom 2, and define with the latter a volume closed.
  • the cover has a clasp 22, able to cooperate by snap-fastening with a complementary portion 23 of the bottom 2, so as to ensure the reversible locking of the cover 20 on the bottom 2.
  • the clasp 22 consists of a tongue folded in the direction of the bottom, substantially at 90 ° relative to the plane of the cover 20, and further suitable, as we will see it in detail later, to limit the sliding movement of the cover 20 under the bottom 2.
  • the cover 20 carries a portion 25 folded in the opposite direction to the bottom, at about 90 ° by relative to the plane of the cover 20.
  • the portion 25 is oriented opposite the tongue 22 forming the clasp.
  • the portion 25 allows, in the mounted position of the cover on the bottom, to limit the sliding movement of the cover 20 when it is removed from its position located under the bottom 2 with a view to closing the case, and thus avoiding that the cover 20 does not separate from the bottom 2.
  • the case is made of polypropylene or ABS.
  • the cover 20 has two faces 26, 27: one 26 located opposite the bottom; the other 27 located at the opposite of the face 26, and, located outside the housing when the latter is closed.
  • the housing 1 is shown in the closed position, with the cover 20 delimiting with the bottom 2 a closed volume, the clasp 22 being in engagement elastic with the corresponding organ from the bottom.
  • the face 27 of the cover 20 is at the outside of the case.
  • the portion 25 of the cover 20 abuts against the edge 34 of the bottom wall 35 of the U formed by the connecting member 7.
  • the cover 20 is disposed under the bottom 2 of the housing. Clasp 22 is in abutment against the circular cross-section portion 10 of the bottom, inside the indentation 30 discussed above, with reference to FIG. 1.
  • the portion 25 of the cover is substantially in alignment with the end of the carrying base the closing member 23.
  • a first applicator 31 in the form of a brush
  • a second applicator 32 in the form of a block of foam.
  • compartment 4 is placed a loaf of make-up eyelids 33.
  • the case can be packaged in this form in a blister transparent. The contents of the case are perfectly visible from the outside.
  • the size of the housing is reduced due to the position of the cover 20 under the bottom 2.
  • the user pulls on the cover 20, using the tongue of the clasp 22 as a gripping means (see Figure 3A).
  • the cover 20 slides between the bottom 2 and the connecting member 7, with a movement in a plane substantially parallel to the plane of the housing 1.
  • the movement continues as shown in Figure 3B, until the folded portion 25 of the cover abuts against the corresponding edge 34 from the bottom of the U formed by the connecting member 7 (see FIG. 3C) and reaches the position called "pivoting".
  • Clipping means (not shown) can provide reversible locking of the cover in this position.
  • the user can rotate the cover 20 and the connecting member 7, relative to the bottom 2, around the Y axis. It then remains to press lightly on the cover 20 of so as to put in elastic engagement the clasp 22 of the cover with the corresponding element 23 of the bottom 2.
  • the process is reversed.
  • the user rotates the cover 20 and the connecting member 7 relative to the bottom 2, around the axis Y, and this, until the cover is substantially 180 ° relative to the bottom.
  • she pushes the cover 20 under the bottom 2, until the clasp 22 is in abutment in the recess 30 of the portion 10 of the bottom 2.
  • Clipping means (not shown) can provide reversible locking of the cover in this position.
