Description

L'invention concerne un ensemble de maquillage en deux parties comprenant : un boítier destiné à contenir un ou plusieurs premier(s) produits solides, et un étui destiné à contenir un second produit de consistance solide à pâteuse. L'invention concerne en particulier un ensemble de maquillage, dont le boítier comporte un fond. Ce fond définit au moins un compartiment contenant le (ou les) premier(s) produit(s), et au moins un couvercle monté sur le fond de manière à couvrir, de façon amovible le (ou les) compartiment(s). A ce boítier est associé un étui comportant le second produit, présenté sous la forme d'un bâton ou stick pour les lèvres, notamment d'un bâton de rouge à lèvres.The invention relates to a two-part make-up set comprising: a case intended to contain one or more first solid product (s), and a case intended to contain a second product of solid to pasty consistency. The invention relates in particular to a make-up set, the housing of which includes a background. This background defines at least one compartment containing the first one (s) product (s), and at least one cover mounted on the bottom so as to cover, removably the compartment (s). A case is associated with this case comprising the second product, presented in the form of a stick or stick for lips, including a stick of lipstick.

L'invention vise, plus particulièrement les boítiers du type boítier à maquillage comportant au moins deux parties articulées l'une sur l'autre autour d'un axe de pivot, du type comportant un fond définissant au moins un compartiment dans lequel est (ou sont) disposé(s) ledit (ou lesdits) premier(s) produit(s), et étant apte(s) à être recouvert(s) par un couvercle, notamment pivotant. Le(s) premier(s) produit(s) visé(s) par l'invention est (sont), notamment des poudres de maquillage du type poudre compactée ou coulée, telle que les ombres à paupières, les fonds de teint ou les fards à joues.The invention relates, more particularly to housings of the make-up housing type comprising at least two parts articulated one on the other about an axis of pivot, of the type comprising a bottom defining at least one compartment in which is (or are) disposed said (or said) first product (s), and being suitable for being covered by a cover, in particular a pivoting cover. The first ones) product (s) targeted by the invention is (are), in particular make-up powders of the compacted or cast powder type, such as eye shadows, bottoms complexion or blush.

On connaít déjà un ensemble de maquillage du genre visé par l'invention. Un tel ensemble est décrit dans le brevet français FR 1 281 866, Ce brevet décrit un boítier solidaire d'un étui de rouge à lèvres, l'ouverture du boítier étant provoquée par une translation, ou une rotation de l'étui de rouge à lèvres par rapport au boítier.We already know a set of makeup of the kind targeted by the invention. Such set is described in French patent FR 1 281 866, This patent describes a case integral with a lipstick case, the opening of the case being caused by a translation, or a rotation of the lipstick case relative to the housing.

La réalisation selon FR 1 281 866 présente l'inconvénient de provoquer inutilement l'ouverture de l'ensemble du boítier, même lorsque l'utilisatrice ne souhaite n'effectuer que le maquillage des lèvres. Une telle disposition est autant plus gênante lorsqu'elle souhaite juste procéder au maquillage des lèvres pendant le voyage, par exemple en voiture, en train ou en avion. En effet, dans ces conditions, lors de l'opération de maquillage des lèvres, le boítier ouvert, l'utilisatrice est obligée, soit de chercher un endroit pour poser le boítier ouvert, ou à défaut, de le garder dans une main, auquel cas elle risque de se souiller les doigts.The embodiment according to FR 1 281 866 has the drawback of causing unnecessarily opening the whole case, even when the user does not wish to perform only lip makeup. Such a provision is as much more annoying when she just wants to do lip makeup during the trip, for example by car, train or plane. Indeed, in these conditions, during the lip makeup operation, the case open, the user is obliged, either to look for a place to put the box open, or failing to do so, to keep it in one hand, in which case it may contaminate the fingers.

Un autre inconvénient de l'ensemble selon FR 1 281 866 réside dans le fait que, lors du transport de l'ensemble de maquillage dans un sac à main (où il se trouve en général parmi d'autres objets), le boítier risque de s'ouvrir accidentellement, provoquant l'effritement de la poudre compacte, et le déversement des résidus de poudre sur le contenu du sac.Another disadvantage of the assembly according to FR 1 281 866 lies in the fact that, when transporting the makeup set in a handbag (where it is located usually among other objects), the case may accidentally open, causing the compacted powder to crumble, and the residues of powder on the contents of the bag.

En outre, la structure de cet ensemble connu est relativement compliquée, nécessitant une opération de montage d'un axe de pivot, et d'un ressort, ce qui augmente le temps et donc le coût de fabrication du boítier. Un tel ensemble n'est donc pas adapté à la vente au grand public.In addition, the structure of this known assembly is relatively complicated, requiring a mounting operation of a pivot pin, and a spring, which increases the time and therefore the cost of manufacturing the housing. Such a set is not therefore not suitable for sale to the general public.

On connaít, en outre, par le document US-A-2 640 487, un étui de rouge à lèvres muni d'un dispositif, permettant d'attacher cet étui de rouge à lèvre à un boítier de maquillage. Le boítier de maquillage comporte un tiroir, réalisé à l'extérieur sur le fond du boítier, apte à recevoir, par encliquetage, une patte dont est muni le dispositif d'attache de l'étui de rouge à lèvres. Le système d'attache confère un aspect inesthétique à l'ensemble. Par ailleurs, ce système risque de s'accrocher dans un sac à main dans lequel est transporté l'ensemble.We also know from document US-A-2 640 487, a lipstick case fitted with a device allowing this lipstick case to be attached to a housing makeup. The makeup case includes a drawer, made outside on the bottom of the housing, capable of receiving, by snap-fastening, a tab with which the attachment device for the lipstick case. The attachment system provides unsightly appearance to the whole. In addition, this system risks to catch on in a handbag in which the whole is transported.

Aussi, est-ce un objet de l'invention que de fournir un boítier, du type boítier à maquillage, ne présentant pas les inconvénients mentionnés ci-dessus, en référence à l'ensemble conforme à FR 1 281 866, notamment en ce qui concerne le mode d'assemblage de l'étui sur le boítier.Also, is it an object of the invention to provide a housing, of the housing type makeup, not having the drawbacks mentioned above, in reference to the assembly in accordance with FR 1 281 866, in particular with regard to the method of assembling the case on the housing.

Un autre objet de l'invention consiste à fournir un ensemble comprenant un boítier dont l'articulation du couvercle sur le fond soit de réalisation simple et économique, tout en offrant une précision qui ne se détériore pas, de manière sensible, au fil des utilisations. Aussi, l'invention vise avantageusement un boítier à charnière intégrée, telle qu'une charnière-film, présentant l'avantage d'être simple et peu coûteux à réaliser. Another object of the invention is to provide a set comprising a housing whose articulation of the cover on the bottom is simple to make and economical, while providing precision that does not deteriorate, so sensitive, over use. Also, the invention advantageously relates to a housing with integrated hinge, such as a film hinge, having the advantage of being simple and inexpensive to make.

C'est un autre objet de la présente invention que de fournir un boítier qui, selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, permet une utilisation du bâton de rouge à lèvres, sans risque de perte du capuchon.It is another object of the present invention to provide a housing which, according to an advantageous embodiment, allows use of the red stick to lips, without risk of loss of the cap.

C'est encore un autre objet de l'invention que de fournir un ensemble de maquillage dont le risque d'ouverture accidentelle soit réduit par rapport à l'ensemble de maquillage précité.It is yet another object of the invention to provide a set of make-up whose risk of accidental opening is reduced compared to the aforementioned makeup set.

D'autres objets de la présente invention apparaítront de manière détaillée dans la description qui suit.Other objects of the present invention will appear in detail in the description which follows.

    Selon un aspect intéressant de l'invention, ledit étui comporte des moyens d'accrochage aptes à coopérer, de manière réversible, avec des moyens complémentaires du boítier.According to an interesting aspect of the invention, said case comprises means attachment able to cooperate, reversibly, with means complementary to the case.

    Pour assurer la fixation temporaire de l'étui sur le boítier, de préférence, les moyens d'accrochage sont constitués par un crochet en forme d'un "L". De préférence, ces moyens d'accrochage, comprennent une première portion attenante à l'étui, et une seconde portion ayant un bord libre, coopérant, en position assemblée de l'ensemble, avec lesdits moyens complémentaires.To ensure the temporary fixing of the case on the case, preferably, the hooking means consist of a hook in the shape of an "L". Of preferably, these attachment means, comprise a first portion adjoining the case, and a second portion having a free edge, cooperating, in assembled position of the assembly, with said complementary means.

    Avantageusement, les moyens complémentaires portés par le boítier sont constitués par une fente (ou encoche), apte à recevoir le bord libre de ladite seconde portion de l'étui, ladite fente ou encoche débouchant dans un plan de fermeture du boítier; en regard du couvercle, lorsque celui-ci est en position fermée. Avantageusement, la fente (ou encoche) est réalisée au voisinage d'un bord latéral du boítier, c'est-à-dire un bord perpendiculaire à l'axe d'articulation.Advantageously, the additional means carried by the housing are constituted by a slot (or notch), capable of receiving the free edge of said second portion of the case, said slot or notch opening into a plane of closing the case; next to the cover, when the cover is in position closed. Advantageously, the slot (or notch) is made in the vicinity of a side edge of the housing, that is to say an edge perpendicular to the axis of articulation.

    De manière avantageuse, ledit bord latéral présente un créneau, situé sur la face supérieure du fond du boítier, et débouchant dans la fente (ou encoche), ledit créneau étant apte à être traversé par ladite première portion des moyens d'accrochage.Advantageously, said lateral edge has a slot, located on the face upper of the bottom of the case, and opening into the slot (or notch), said niche being able to be crossed by said first portion of the means hanging.

Le second produit est présenté, de préférence, sous la forme d'un raisin ou bâton solide et délitable.According to one embodiment, the case comprises a base in which is mounted said second product, and a cap, removably mounted on said base to protect the second product. The second product is presented, from preferably in the form of a solid and crumbly grape or stick.

    Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, lesdits moyens d'accrochage sont solidaires du capuchon. Cette disposition présente l'avantage que l'embase de l'étui qui porte le second produit, peut être aisément retirée de l'ensemble, et ceci, avantageusement suivant une direction perpendiculaire à la direction de l'axe d'articulation du (ou des) couvercle(s). Lors de cette opération, le capuchon reste solidaire du boítier (en position fermée de celui-ci), et de ce fait, ne peut pas être perdu.According to a preferred embodiment, said attachment means are integral with the cap. This arrangement has the advantage that the base of the case carrying the second product can be easily removed from the assembly, and this, advantageously in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the axis articulation of the cover (s). During this operation, the cap remains secured to the housing (in the closed position thereof), and therefore cannot be lost.

    Avantageusement encore, ladite embase peut porter un mécanisme permettant de déplacer axialement ledit second produit, entre une position rentrée de stockage, et une position sortie d'utilisation. Un tel mécanisme est classique et est décrit, par exemple dans les documents US-A-4 738 559, EP-A-0 491 579 et EP-A-0 658 325, tous au nom du demandeur.Advantageously also, said base can carry a mechanism allowing to move said second product axially, between a retracted position of storage, and an out-of-use position. Such a mechanism is conventional and is described, for example in documents US-A-4,738,559, EP-A-0 491 579 and EP-A-0 658,325, all in the name of the claimant.

    Selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel, le boítier présente une forme généralement parallèlépipédique, aplatie, ayant une faible hauteur.According to a preferred embodiment, the housing has a shape generally parallelepipedic, flattened, having a low height.

    Selon une disposition particulière de l'invention, le fond du boítier délimite au moins deux compartiments, aptes à être recouverts, de manière amovible, par au moins deux couvercles distincts, lesdits couvercles étant articulés de manière individuelle par rapport au fond, autour d'un même axe d'articulation. Ainsi, un premier compartiment contenant par exemple un fond de teint, peut être accessible en soulevant un premier couvercle, tandis qu'un second compartiment contenant une ombre à paupières peut être dégagé en soulevant un second couvercle.According to a particular provision of the invention, the bottom of the housing delimits at at least two compartments, capable of being removably covered, by at at least two separate covers, said covers being hinged so individual with respect to the bottom, around the same axis of articulation. So a first compartment containing for example a foundation, can be accessible by lifting a first cover, while a second compartment containing an eye shadow can be released by lifting a second lid.

    Pour assurer la fermeture de chaque compartiment, de préférence, chacun des couvercles comporte un organe de fermeture, apte à coopérer, en position fermée, avec un organe complémentaire ménagé sur un bord du boítier. Avantageusement, l'organe de fermeture est situé sur le côté du couvercle opposé à la charnière, coopérant avec ledit organe complémentaire. Cet organe complémentaire est situé, de préférence, sur le bord frontal du fond du boítier.To ensure the closure of each compartment, preferably each of the covers includes a closure member, capable of cooperating, in position closed, with a complementary member formed on an edge of the housing. Advantageously, the closure member is located on the side of the cover. opposite the hinge, cooperating with said complementary member. This organ complementary is preferably located on the front edge of the bottom of the housing.

    Selon un mode de réalisation intéressant, le(ou les) premier produit(s) est (sont) conditionné(s) dans une (des) coupelle(s) intermédiaire(s), disposée(s) chacune dans un compartiment correspondant. Ces coupelles peuvent être montées, de manière amovible, de sorte qu'après épuisement, un produit puisse être rechargé, en enlevant la coupelle vide et en remettant en place une nouvelle coupelle. According to an interesting embodiment, the first product (s) is (are) packaged in an intermediate cup (s), each arranged in a corresponding compartment. These cups can be mounted, removably, so that after exhaustion, a product can be refilled, removing the empty cup and replacing a new cup.

    Dans le domaine du maquillage, la nuance d'un produit joue un rôle prépondérant. Pour pouvoir visualiser la couleur des produits conditionnés dans le présent ensemble, le boítier et/ou le capuchon peuvent être réalisés en un matériau plastique transparent ou translucide.In the field of make-up, the nuance of a product plays a role preponderant. To be able to visualize the color of the products packaged in the present together, the housing and / or the cap can be made in one transparent or translucent plastic material.

    Le premier produit disposé dans le (ou les) compartiment(s) se présente, par exemple, sous la forme d'un produit solide, comme une poudre compacte, délitable. Un tel produit délitable peut être obtenu, par exemple par compactage ou coulage, selon un procédé de réalisation bien connu.The first product placed in the compartment (s) is presented, by example, in the form of a solid product, like a compact powder, crumbly. Such a crumbly product can be obtained, for example by compaction or casting, according to a well known production method.

    Le second produit se présente de préférence, comme mentionné précédemment, sous la forme d'un bâton ou d'un stick délitable. Le second produit peut être une composition cosmétique ou dermatologique, notamment un produit pour les lèvres, comme un bâton de rouge à lèvres ou un stick pour la protection des lèvres contre les rayonnements UV.The second product is preferably, as mentioned above, in the form of a stick or a stick stick. The second product can be a cosmetic or dermatological composition, in particular a product for lips, like a lipstick stick or a stick for protecting lips against UV radiation.

    Le cas échéant, le fond du boítier peut comporter un compartiment supplémentaire, permettant de loger un organe d'application tel qu'un pinceau ou une houppette.If necessary, the bottom of the case may include a compartment additional, allowing to house an application member such as a brush or a puff.

    Ainsi que représenté aux figures annexées, selon un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, un ensemble de maquillage 1 comporte un boítier 2, et un étui 4. Un fond 6 faisant partie du boítier 2, définit un réceptacle pour trois produits solides P1 à P3 de maquillage. Ainsi, dans le mode de réalisation représenté, le fond 6 définit trois compartiments 8a, 8b, 8c destinés à recevoir une poudre compacte, telle qu'une ombre à paupières ou un fond de teint. Le fond 6 peut définir également un autre évidement (non représenté) de forme allongée, apte à contenir un organe d'application du type pinceau ou autre. Le fond 6 est délimité par une surface supérieure plane 6d.As shown in the accompanying figures, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, a makeup assembly 1 comprises a housing 2, and a case 4. A bottom 6 forming part of the housing 2, defines a receptacle for three solid products P 1 to P 3 of make-up. Thus, in the embodiment shown, the bottom 6 defines three compartments 8a, 8b, 8c intended to receive a compact powder, such as an eye shadow or a foundation. The bottom 6 can also define another recess (not shown) of elongated shape, capable of containing an applicator member of the brush or other type. The bottom 6 is delimited by a flat upper surface 6d.

    Le boítier 2 présente une forme générale parallèlépipédique, sensiblement aplatie et de faible hauteur, et définit une face frontale 22, deux faces latérales 20, 24, une face dorsale, une face supérieure 6a, et une face inférieure 6b (voir figure 4). La face inférieure du boítier 2 peut être formée, le cas échéant, par un double fond rapporté 6c, formant une surface continue du fond de boítier.The housing 2 has a generally parallelepiped shape, substantially flattened and of low height, and defines a front face 22, two lateral faces 20, 24, a dorsal face, an upper face 6a, and a lower face 6b (see FIG. 4). The underside of the housing 2 can be formed, if necessary, by a double added back 6c, forming a continuous surface of the bottom of the case.

    Dans chacun des trois compartiments 8a, 8b, 8c est disposée une coupelle 36a, 36b, 36c. Dans chaque coupelle, est disposé un produit délitable correspondant. Dans l'exemple considéré, le compartiment 8c, plus grand que les deux autres, contient un fond de teint. Les compartiments 8a et 8b contiennent chacun une ombre à paupières.In each of the three compartments 8a, 8b, 8c is arranged a cup 36a, 36b, 36c. In each dish, there is a corresponding disintegrating product. In the example considered, compartment 8c, larger than the other two, contains a foundation. The compartments 8a and 8b each contain a eye shadow.

    Le compartiment 8c peut être fermé par un couvercle 10b, ce dernier étant articulé au fond 6 par une charnière-film 27b et pivotant autour d'un axe A. De manière similaire, les compartiments 8a et 8b peuvent être fermés par un couvercle 10a, apte à couvrir simultanément ces deux compartiments. Le couvercle 10a est articulé autour du même axe A par une charnière film 27a. Du coté opposé aux charnières-film 27a, 27b, chacun des couvercles comporte un élément de fermeture 32a, 32b. The compartment 8c can be closed by a cover 10b, the latter being articulated at the bottom 6 by a film hinge 27b and pivoting about an axis A. De similarly, compartments 8a and 8b can be closed with a cover 10a, able to cover these two compartments simultaneously. The cover 10a is articulated around the same axis A by a film hinge 27a. Of opposite side to the film hinges 27a, 27b, each of the covers has a closure element 32a, 32b.

    Chacun des éléments de fermeture 32a, 32b coopère avec un élément de fermeture complémentaire 34a, 34b, réalisé sur la paroi frontale 22 du boítier, de manière à maintenir le couvercle en position fermée. A cet effet, les éléments de fermeture complémentaires 34a, 34b de la paroi frontale sont constitués d'un évidement généralement parallèlépipédique comportant une partie en saillie 35a, 35b, apte à coopérer, en position de fermeture, avec un bourrelet 33a, 33b réalisé sur l'extrémité interne des éléments de fermeture, 32a, 32b. Chacun des éléments de fermeture, 32a, 32b se présente sous la forme d'une languette flexible, apte à fléchir légèrement vers l'extérieur, sous l'effort de traction que l'utilisatrice exerce sur le couvercle correspondant. De cette manière, lors de l'ouverture des couvercles, les bourrelets 33a, 33b viennent franchir les parties en saillie correspondantes 35a, 35b.Each of the closing elements 32a, 32b cooperates with an element of additional closure 34a, 34b, produced on the front wall 22 of the housing, so as to keep the cover in the closed position. To this end, the elements of additional closure 34a, 34b of the front wall consist of a generally parallelepiped recess comprising a projecting part 35a, 35b, able to cooperate, in the closed position, with a bead 33a, 33b produced on the inner end of the closure elements, 32a, 32b. Each of the closure elements, 32a, 32b is in the form of a tongue flexible, able to bend slightly outwards, under the tensile stress that the user exercises on the corresponding cover. In this way, when the opening of the covers, the beads 33a, 33b cross the parts in corresponding projection 35a, 35b.

    Avantageusement, le boítier, (et notamment les couvercles) est (sont) réalisé(s) en un matériau transparent ou translucide, tel que du polyéthylène ou du polypropylène, permettant de visualiser, en position fermée, la couleur des produits P1 à P3.Advantageously, the housing (and in particular the covers) is (are) made of a transparent or translucent material, such as polyethylene or polypropylene, making it possible to display, in the closed position, the color of the products P 1 to P 3 .

    Notamment, lorsque le boítier 2 est réalisé en un matériau opaque, la face interne de l'un ou des deux couvercles 10a, 10b peut être pourvue d'un miroir 38a, 38b (voir figure 1). Ceci permet à l'utilisatrice de suivre visuellement l'application de la poudre compacte sur le visage.In particular, when the housing 2 is made of an opaque material, the internal face one or both covers 10a, 10b may be provided with a mirror 38a, 38b (see figure 1). This allows the user to visually follow the application of the compact powder on the face.

    De plus, (ou alternativement), un autre miroir peut être prévu sur le double fond rapporté 6c (figure 4), ce qui présente l'avantage, par rapport au mode de réalisation ci-dessus, que l'utilisatrice peut se regarder, au cours du maquillage des lèvres, sans avoir besoin d'ouvrir le boítier.In addition, (or alternatively), another mirror can be provided on the double bottom reported 6c (Figure 4), which has the advantage, compared to the mode of above realization, that the user can look at during makeup lips, without the need to open the case.

    Aucun de ces éléments ne constitue l'objet de l'invention et, en conséquence, ils ne nécessitent pas de description détaillée supplémentaire.None of these elements constitutes the subject of the invention and, consequently, they do not require additional detailed description.

    Dans la surface supérieure 6d du fond 6, à proximité du bord latéral 20, est pratiquée une fente ou encoche 14. Cette fente ou encoche présente une orientation générale parallèle au bord latéral 20, et constitue un moyen d'accrochage dudit étui 4 au boítier 2.In the upper surface 6d of the bottom 6, near the lateral edge 20, is made a slot or notch 14. This slot or notch has a general orientation parallel to the lateral edge 20, and constitutes a means for attaching said case 4 to the housing 2.

    L'étui 4 est constitué d'une embase 28, généralement cylindrique ou polygonale, apte à supporter un raisin de produit P4. L'embase 28 comporte une portion 29, de diamètre réduit (voir figure 3), apte à être coiffée par un capuchon de protection 30, généralement cylindrique ou polygonale également. En position assemblée de l'ensemble, l'embase 28 et le capuchon 30 sont alignés selon un axe B (voir figure 3), perpendiculaire à la face frontale 22 du boítier.The case 4 consists of a base 28, generally cylindrical or polygonal, capable of supporting a grape of product P 4 . The base 28 comprises a portion 29, of reduced diameter (see FIG. 3), capable of being capped by a protective cap 30, also generally cylindrical or polygonal. In the assembled position of the assembly, the base 28 and the cap 30 are aligned along an axis B (see Figure 3), perpendicular to the front face 22 of the housing.

    Comme visible sur la figure 3, l'embase 28 comporte un fourreau 31, mobile en rotation par rapport à l'embase 28. Grâce à ce fourreau 31, il est possible de positionner le raisin de rouge à lèvres P4 dans une position rentrée ou une position sortie dudit raisin, au moyen d'un mécanisme approprié et bien connu dans l'art antérieur.As can be seen in FIG. 3, the base 28 comprises a sheath 31, which can move in rotation relative to the base 28. With this sheath 31, it is possible to position the lipstick grape P 4 in a retracted position or an extended position of said grape, by means of an appropriate mechanism well known in the prior art.

    A cet effet, comme mentionné précédemment, un mécanisme d'entraínement du raisin est prévu, pour effectuer à volonté, le déplacement axial selon l'axe B du raisin de produit P4. Ce genre de mécanisme comprend avantageusement un support ou cupule (non représenté) mobile axialement, portant le raisin de produit.For this purpose, as mentioned previously, a grape drive mechanism is provided, to effect at will, the axial displacement along the axis B of the grape of product P 4 . This type of mechanism advantageously comprises a support or cup (not shown) movable axially, carrying the product grape.

    Un tel mécanisme d'entraínement ne constitue pas l'objet de l'invention et est décrit, par ailleurs, dans les documents US-A-4 738 559, EP-A-0 491 579 et EP-A-0 658 325. Par conséquent, ils ne nécessitent pas de description détaillée supplémentaire.Such a drive mechanism is not the subject of the invention and is described, moreover, in documents US-A-4,738,559, EP-A-0 491 579 and EP-A-0 658,325. Therefore, they do not require a detailed description additional.

    Selon l'invention, le capuchon 30, comporte des moyens d'accrochage 12, aptes à être engagés dans l'encoche ou fente 14 du fond du boítier. Avantageusement, l'engagement ou le dégagement des moyens d'accrochage 12 dans l'encoche ou la fente 14 est accompagné d'une légère friction. Ceci permet à l'utilisatrice, après ouverture du couvercle 10a, de se maquiller en toute sécurité avec les produits P1 et/ou P2, sans crainte de perdre involontairement l'étui 4 de rouge à lèvres. According to the invention, the cap 30, comprises hooking means 12, suitable to be engaged in the notch or slot 14 of the bottom of the housing. Advantageously, engaging or disengaging the attachment means 12 in the notch or the slot 14 is accompanied by a slight friction. This allows the user, after opening of the cover 10a, to make up in complete safety with the products P1 and / or P2, without fear of inadvertently losing the lipstick case 4.

    Selon une caractéristique essentielle de l'invention, l'encoche ou fente 14 n'est donc accessible qu'après ouverture du couvercle 10a. En d'autres termes, ce n'est qu'en position ouverte du couvercle 10a, que l'étui 4 peut être accroché au boítier 2 ou enlevé de celui-ci. En contrepartie, en position rabattue du couvercle 10a sur le fond 6, l'étui 4, et éventuellement le capuchon 30, sont verrouillés sur le boítier 2, et ne peuvent pas être enlevés.According to an essential characteristic of the invention, the notch or slot 14 is not therefore accessible only after opening the cover 10a. In other words, this is only in the open position of the cover 10a, that the case 4 can be hung on the case 2 or removed from it. In return, in the closed position of the cover 10a on the bottom 6, the case 4, and possibly the cap 30, are locked on case 2, and cannot be removed.

    Les moyens d'accrochage 12 de l'étui comprennent, selon le mode de réalisation représenté, une portion 18 s'étendant radialement vers l'extérieur depuis la paroi latérale du capuchon 30. La portion 18 est repliée d'équerre, formant un crochet ayant une portion terminale 16. La portion terminale 16 est conformée de sorte qu'elle puisse rentrer (en position ouverte du couvercle 10a), dans la fente ou encoche 14. En position fermée du couvercle 10a, les moyens d'accrochage 12 de l'étui 4 sont donc verrouillés.The attachment means 12 of the case comprise, according to the embodiment shown, a portion 18 extending radially outward from the wall side of the cap 30. The portion 18 is folded square, forming a hook having a terminal portion 16. The terminal portion 16 is shaped so that it can enter (in the open position of the cover 10a), into the slot or notch 14. In the closed position of the cover 10a, the hooking means 12 of the case 4 are therefore locked.

    Selon l'exemple de réalisation considéré, un créneau 26 est prévu sur la surface 6d et dans la paroi latérale 20, permettant de loger la portion 18 des moyens d'accrochage 12.According to the embodiment considered, a slot 26 is provided on the surface 6d and in the side wall 20, making it possible to accommodate the portion 18 of the means hanging 12.

    Avantageusement, le capuchon est réalisé en un matériau transparent ou translucide, permettant de visualiser la couleur du raisin de produit P4. Ce matériau peut être choisi parmi les polyéthylènes, les polypropylènes, les polystyrènes, les polyacrylates, etc.Advantageously, the cap is made of a transparent or translucent material, making it possible to visualize the color of the grape of product P 4 . This material can be chosen from polyethylenes, polypropylenes, polystyrenes, polyacrylates, etc.

    L'utilisation de l'ensemble va maintenant être expliquée, notamment en référence à la figure 3.The use of the assembly will now be explained, in particular with reference in Figure 3.

    Lorsque l'utilisatrice souhaite se maquiller les lèvres, elle retire, par exemple avec la main droite, l'embase 28 hors du capuchon 30, selon l'axe B. En faisant tourner l'embase 28 par rapport au fourreau 29, l'utilisatrice fait sortir une portion du raisin de produit P4, sur une hauteur suffisante pour effectuer le maquillage des lèvres. Pendant cette opération, elle tient le boítier dans la main gauche, de manière à garder les couvercles 10a, 10b en position fermée. Cette façon d'opérer permet d'assurer pendant le maquillage des lèvres, d'une part le maintien en place du capuchon 30 de l'étui 4 sur le boítier 2. Elle permet, d'autre part, à l'utilisatrice de ne pas se salir les mains.When the user wishes to make up her lips, she removes, for example with the right hand, the base 28 out of the cap 30, along the axis B. By rotating the base 28 relative to the sheath 29, the user brings out a portion of the grape of product P 4 , over a height sufficient to make up the lips. During this operation, she holds the case in the left hand, so as to keep the covers 10a, 10b in the closed position. This way of operating makes it possible to ensure, during the makeup of the lips, on the one hand that the cap 30 of the case 4 on the housing 2 is maintained in place. It allows, on the other hand, the user to not not get your hands dirty.

    Lorsque l'utilisatrice souhaite appliquer un fond de teint P3, tel que disposé dans le compartiment 8c, elle ouvre le couvercle 10b en soulevant celui-ci avec le pouce de la main gauche, tout en maintenant la partie droite du boítier avec la main droite (voir figure 5). En prélevant une dose de produit P3 à l'aide d'un doigt ou d'un applicateur approprié, elle applique ledit produit sur les zones du visage qu'elle souhaite maquiller.When the user wishes to apply a foundation P 3, as disposed in the compartment 8c, she opens the cover 10b by lifting it with the thumb of her left hand, while holding the right part of the housing with her hand right (see Figure 5). By taking a dose of product P 3 using a finger or an appropriate applicator, she applies said product to the areas of the face that she wishes to make up.

    Lorsque l'utilisatrice souhaite appliquer une ombre à paupières P1 ou P2, telle que disposée dans l'un des compartiments 8a ou 8b, l'utilisatrice maintient le boítier 2 entre le pouce et l'index de la main gauche. A l'aide du pouce de la main droite, elle positionne le couvercle 10a en position ouverte. Ceci lui permet de prélever, par exemple à l'aide d'un doigt de la main droite ou d'un applicateur, une dose de produit P1 et/ou P2, et l'appliquer sur les paupières.When the user wishes to apply an eye shadow P 1 or P 2, as arranged in one of the compartments 8a or 8b, the user maintains the housing 2 between the thumb and the index finger of the left hand. Using the thumb of the right hand, it positions the cover 10a in the open position. This allows him to take, for example using a finger of the right hand or an applicator, a dose of product P 1 and / or P 2 , and apply it on the eyelids.

    La friction de l'élément d'accrochage 12 de l'étui 4 dans la fente ou encoche 14 du boítier est suffisante, pour empêcher la désolidarisation de l'étui 4 et du boítier 2, pendant l'opération de maquillage des paupières (figure 2).The friction of the fastening element 12 of the case 4 in the slot or notch 14 of the case is sufficient, to prevent separation of the case 4 and the case 2, during the eyelid makeup operation (Figure 2).

    L'ensemble de maquillage 1 tel que décrit, présente l'avantage d'être rechargeable séparément et individuellement pour chacun des produits P1 à P4. Aussi, une cupule de produit P1 à P3 dont le contenu a été épuisé, peut être remplacée par une nouvelle cupule contenant le même produit ou un produit d'une nuance différente.The makeup assembly 1 as described has the advantage of being rechargeable separately and individually for each of the products P 1 to P 4 . Also, a cup of product P 1 to P 3 , the contents of which have been used up, can be replaced by a new cup containing the same product or a product of a different shade.

    Lorsque le raisin de rouge à lèvres P4 est épuisé, il suffit de retirer l'embase 28 avec le raisin usé, et la remplacer par une nouvelle embase comportant un nouveau raisin. De même, par simple remplacement de l'embase 28, l'utilisatrice peut toujours avoir à sa disposition la couleur de rouge à lèvres souhaitée.When the lipstick grape P 4 is exhausted, it suffices to remove the base 28 with the used grape, and replace it with a new base comprising a new grape. Likewise, by simply replacing the base 28, the user can always have the desired lipstick color available to them.

    Par ailleurs, sur les lieux de vente même, l'utilisatrice peut choisir la composition des produits disposés dans l'ensemble de maquillage : par exemple, la nuance du fond de teint ou des ombres à paupières, ou encore celle du rouge à lèvres.In addition, at the point of sale itself, the user can choose the composition products arranged in the make-up set: for example, the nuance of the foundation or eye shadows, or that of lipstick.

    L'ensemble de maquillage ainsi constitué est compact et peu encombrant, ce qui le rend particulièrement adapté à être transporté dans un sac à main. Il est à noter que, pendant le transport, le risque de désolidarisation du boítier 2 et de l'étui de rouge à lèvres 4 est pratiquement exclu.The makeup assembly thus formed is compact and space-saving, which makes it particularly suitable to be carried in a handbag. He is at note that, during transport, the risk of separation of the case 2 and the lipstick case 4 is practically excluded.

    La description qui précède fait référence à un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention. Il est évident que des variantes peuvent y être apportées sans s'écarter de l'esprit de l'invention telle que revendiquée ci-après.The foregoing description refers to a preferred embodiment of the invention. Obviously, variations can be made without depart from the spirit of the invention as claimed below.
