Description

La présente invention a pour objet une pièce en matière plastique ou en verre, plus particulièrement mais non exclusivement un organe de fermeture pour accessoire de maquillage ou récipient.The subject of the present invention is a part made of plastic or glass, more particularly but not exclusively a closure member for an accessory makeup or container.

Il est connu d'utiliser dans le domaine du conditionnement des produits cosmétiques, pour réaliser des couvercles ou des bouchons, des matières plastiques transparentes, colorées dans la masse ou opaques, éventuellement chargées.It is known to use in the field of product packaging cosmetics, to make lids or caps, plastics transparent, mass-colored or opaque, possibly charged.

L'invention vise à obtenir un nouvel effet esthétique sur une pièce présentant une face avant, une face arrière et un côté extérieur.The invention aims to obtain a new aesthetic effect on a part having a front face, a rear face and an external side.

Elle y parvient par le fait que la pièce est réalisée dans une matière non opaque, par le fait que sa face arrière est opacifiée au moins par endroits au voisinage dudit côté extérieur au moyen d'une couche d'un revêtement opaque de couleur foncée en contact intime avec le matériau non opaque, l'emplacement du revêtement et sa couleur étant choisis de manière à permettre à la lumière entrant par le côté extérieur de créer un effet de lumière dans la pièce, visible par sa face avant.It achieves this by the fact that the part is made of a non-opaque material, by the fact that its rear face is opaque at least in places in the vicinity of said outer side by means of a layer of a dark opaque coating in intimate contact with the non-opaque material, the location of the coating and its color being chosen so as to allow light entering from the outside to create a light effect in the room, visible from its front side.

Grâce à l'invention, on peut obtenir notamment sur une pièce dont la face avant présente un contour circulaire, un effet de halo particulièrement attractif sur le plan esthétique.Thanks to the invention, it is possible in particular to obtain a part whose face front has a circular outline, a particularly attractive halo effect on the aesthetic level.

La géométrie de la pièce peut être choisie de telle sorte que l'effet de halo soit visible sur une zone périphérique de la face avant au plus égale à la hauteur du côté extérieur.The geometry of the part can be chosen so that the halo effect is visible on a peripheral zone of the front face at most equal to the height of the side outside.

Dans une réalisation particulière, le revêtement est présent en des emplacements choisis sur la pièce de telle sorte que seule la lumière entrant par le côté extérieur ou par le bord de la face arrière puisse traverser la pièce.In a particular embodiment, the coating is present in chosen locations on the room so that only light entering from the side outside or by the edge of the rear face can cross the room.

Dans une réalisation particulière, le revêtement est une peinture.In a particular embodiment, the coating is a paint.

En variante, le revêtement est une couche déposée par bi-injection, dans une matière physico-chimiquement compatible avec ladite matière non opaque.As a variant, the coating is a layer deposited by bi-injection, in a physico-chemically compatible material with said non-opaque material.

On garantit ainsi un contact intime entre le revêtement et le matériau non opaque et l'absence d'air, lequel nuirait à l'obtention du résultat recherché. This guarantees an intimate contact between the coating and the non-material opaque and the absence of air, which would interfere with obtaining the desired result.

La couleur du revêtement est choisie en fonction de celle du matériau non opaque pour obtenir le contraste suffisant permettant l'observation de l'effet optique recherché.The color of the coating is chosen according to that of the non-material opaque to obtain sufficient contrast allowing observation of the optical effect research.

Le revêtement est par exemple noir, ce qui permet d'éviter les réflexions parasites dans la pièce et d'obtenir l'opacité requise avec une faible épaisseur de revêtement.The coating is for example black, which avoids reflections parasites in the room and obtain the required opacity with a small thickness of coating.

De préférence, la matière plastique utilisée est translucide.Preferably, the plastic material used is translucent.

Ainsi, la lumière qui pénètre dans la pièce par son côté extérieur est diffusée au cours de son trajet dans celle-ci, ce qui est favorable à l'obtention d'un effet de lumière dans la pièce.Thus, the light that enters the room through its exterior side is diffused during its journey in it, which is favorable for obtaining an effect of light in the room.

Dans une réalisation particulière, la face arrière est recouverte intégralement par ledit revêtement, par exemple une peinture déposée par pulvérisation.In a particular embodiment, the rear face is completely covered by said coating, for example a paint deposited by spraying.

Toujours dans une réalisation particulière, la pièce comporte un logement intérieur débouchant sur sa face arrière.Still in a particular embodiment, the room includes a housing interior opening onto its rear face.

Lorsque la pièce est un couvercle, un tel logement peut servir au montage d'un miroir.When the part is a cover, such a housing can be used for mounting of a mirror.

Ce logement intérieur peut être délimité par une surface latérale et par une surface de fond, la surface latérale étant de préférence recouverte sans discontinuité entièrement par le revêtement opaque de même que le pourtour de la surface de fond adjacent à ladite surface latérale.This interior housing can be delimited by a lateral surface and by a bottom surface, the lateral surface preferably being covered without discontinuity entirely by the opaque coating as well as the periphery of the bottom surface adjacent to said side surface.

Ainsi, on s'assure que même dans le cas où un élément opaque tel qu'un miroir est rapporté sur la surface de fond, le jeu susceptible d'exister entre ce miroir et la surface latérale du logement intérieur ne laisse passer aucun filet de lumière qui pourrait nuire à l'esthétique de la pièce.Thus, we ensure that even in the case where an opaque element such as a mirror is attached to the bottom surface, the clearance likely to exist between this mirror and the lateral surface of the interior housing does not allow any streak of light to pass through it could affect the aesthetics of the room.

La surface latérale du logement intérieur peut être cylindrique ou sensiblement cylindrique, par exemple.The lateral surface of the interior housing can be cylindrical or substantially cylindrical, for example.

De préférence, la tranche de la pièce qui s'étend entre la surface latérale du logement intérieur et le côté extérieur est recouverte sans discontinuité sur sensiblement toute son étendue par le revêtement opaque utilisé; cela est d'autant plus préférable que la tranche de la pièce est large.Preferably, the edge of the piece which extends between the lateral surface of the interior housing and the exterior side is continuously covered over substantially its full extent by the opaque coating used; this is all the more preferable as the edge of the room is wide.

Toujours dans une réalisation particulière, la face avant est légèrement concave vers l'extérieur. Still in a particular embodiment, the front face is slightly concave outward.

Avantageusement, la face avant et le côté extérieur sont recouverts d'une couche d'un vernis mat, diffusant la lumière et procurant un effet de douceur au toucher.Advantageously, the front face and the external side are covered with a layer of matt varnish, diffusing light and providing a soft touch effect.

Le côté extérieur peut être au moins partiellement cylindrique ou conique, voire sensiblement cylindrique puis conique divergeant vers l'avant.The outer side can be at least partially cylindrical or conical, or even substantially cylindrical then conical diverging forward.

Dans le cas d'un côté extérieur s'élargissant vers l'avant, l'effet de halo se trouve renforcé par l'épaisseur de matière qui diminue en rapprochement du bord avant.In the case of an outer side widening towards the front, the halo effect is is reinforced by the thickness of the material which decreases when approaching the front edge.

La pièce peut constituer tout ou partie d'un dispositif de conditionnement et comporter, lorsqu'elle constitue un organe de fermeture, une patte d'articulation formant saillie sur sa face arrière, venue de moulage avec le reste de la pièce.The part can constitute all or part of a packaging device and include, when it constitutes a closing member, a hinge tab protruding on its rear face, coming from molding with the rest of the part.

L'invention a encore pour objet un organe de fermeture pour accessoire de maquillage ou récipient, notamment de produit de soins, présentant une paroi de dessus et une jupe latérale prolongeant vers le bas ladite paroi de dessus à sa périphérie, ladite paroi de dessus définissant une face avant ayant un contour circulaire, la jupe latérale définissant avec le pourtour de la paroi de dessus un côté extérieur, la paroi de dessus et la jupe latérale définissant une face arrière, la paroi de dessus et la jupe latérale étant réalisées d'un seul tenant par moulage d'une matière plastique translucide, la face avant et le côté extérieur étant recouverts d'un vernis mat, la face arrière étant recouverte sans discontinuité, sur au moins sensiblement toute l'étendue de la tranche de la jupe latérale, sur la surface intérieure de la jupe latérale et sur une partie au moins de la surface intérieure de la paroi de dessus adjacente à la jupe latérale, par une couche de peinture opaque de couleur foncée.The subject of the invention is also a closure member for an accessory for make-up or container, in particular of care product, having a top wall and a side skirt extending downwardly said top wall at its periphery, said top wall defining a front face having a circular contour, the side skirt defining with the periphery of the top wall an outer side, the top wall and the side skirt defining a rear face, the top wall and the side skirt being made in one piece by molding a translucent plastic, the front and the outer side being covered with a matt varnish, the rear side being covered without discontinuity, over at least substantially the entire extent of the edge of the side skirt, on the inner surface of the side skirt and on at least part of the surface inside of the top wall adjacent to the side skirt, with a coat of paint dark opaque.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description détaillée qui va suivre, d'un exemple non limitatif de mise en oeuvre, et à l'examen du dessin annexé sur lequel :

  • la figure 1 est une vue schématique d'un boítier comportant un couvercle conforme à l'invention,
  • la figure 2 est une vue de dessous du couvercle,
  • la figure 3 est une coupe axiale selon le trait de coupe III-III de la figure 2, et
  • la figure 4 est une coupe selon le trait de coupe IV-IV de la figure 2, illustrant la propagation de la lumière rentrant par le côté extérieur de la pièce.
The invention will be better understood on reading the detailed description which follows, of a nonlimiting example of implementation, and on examining the appended drawing in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a case comprising a cover according to the invention,
  • FIG. 2 is a bottom view of the cover,
  • FIG. 3 is an axial section along the section line III-III of FIG. 2, and
  • Figure 4 is a section along the line IV-IV of Figure 2, illustrating the propagation of light returning from the outside of the room.

Le boítier 10 représenté schématiquement sur la figure 1 comporte un corps 11 et un couvercle 12 articulé sur le corps 11.The housing 10 shown schematically in Figure 1 comprises a body 11 and a cover 12 articulated on the body 11.

Le corps 11 est destiné par exemple à recevoir un fond de teint.The body 11 is intended for example to receive a foundation.

Le couvercle 12, représenté isolément sur les figures 2 et 3, est réalisé dans l'exemple décrit dans une matière plastique incolore, translucide, non chargée, telle que de l'ABS.The cover 12, shown in isolation in Figures 2 and 3, is made in the example described in a colorless, translucent, uncharged plastic, such as ABS.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée à l'emploi de ce matériau, et l'on peut encore utiliser par exemple du PET, du polycarbonate, du PCTG ou du PMMA, cette liste étant non limitative.Of course, the invention is not limited to the use of this material, and one can also use for example PET, polycarbonate, PCTG or PMMA, this list is not exhaustive.

Le couvercle 12 comporte une paroi de dessus 14 prolongée à sa périphérie vers le bas par une jupe latérale 15, réalisée d'un seul tenant par moulage de matière plastique avec la paroi 14.The cover 12 has a top wall 14 extended at its periphery downwards by a side skirt 15, made in one piece by molding of material plastic with wall 14.

La face supérieure de la paroi de dessus 14, légèrement concave vers l'extérieur comme on peut le voir sur la figure 4, définit la face avant 20 du couvercle 12.The upper face of the top wall 14, slightly concave towards the exterior as can be seen in Figure 4, defines the front face 20 of the cover 12.

La jupe latérale 15 forme un logement intérieur 16, délimité par une surface latérale 26, cylindrique de révolution d'axe X, et par une surface de fond 25, plane et perpendiculaire à l'axe X, qui correspond à la face inférieure de la paroi 14.The side skirt 15 forms an interior housing 16, delimited by a surface lateral 26, cylindrical of revolution of axis X, and by a bottom surface 25, flat and perpendicular to the X axis, which corresponds to the underside of the wall 14.

La face arrière 21 du couvercle 12 est formée par la réunion de la surface de fond 25, de la surface latérale 26 et de la tranche 27 du couvercle 12.The rear face 21 of the cover 12 is formed by the union of the surface of bottom 25, the lateral surface 26 and the edge 27 of the cover 12.

Le logement 16 est destiné à recevoir un miroir dans l'exemple décrit.The housing 16 is intended to receive a mirror in the example described.

Le côté extérieur 22 du couvercle 12 relie les faces avant 20 et arrière 21.The outer side 22 of the cover 12 connects the front 20 and rear 21 faces.

La face avant 20 présente un bord circulaire 23 et le côté extérieur 22 est sensiblement cylindrique de révolution d'axe X dans sa région arrière 22a, puis conique divergeant en direction du bord 23 de la face avant 20 dans sa région avant 22b.The front face 20 has a circular edge 23 and the outer side 22 is substantially cylindrical in axis X revolution in its rear region 22a, then conical diverging towards the edge 23 of the front face 20 in its front region 22b.

La tranche 27 du couvercle 12 s'étend perpendiculairement à l'axe X entre la surface latérale 26 et le côté extérieur 22.The edge 27 of the cover 12 extends perpendicular to the axis X between the lateral surface 26 and the outer side 22.

La tranche 27 est relativement large dans l'exemple de réalisation décrit, sa largeur étant de l'ordre de 5 mm.The section 27 is relatively wide in the embodiment described, its width being of the order of 5 mm.

Le couvercle 12 comporte sur la tranche 27 une patte 29 destinée à s'encliqueter dans un logement du corps 11 pour maintenir le boítier fermé en l'absence d'utilisation et une patte d'articulation 30. The cover 12 has on the edge 27 a tab 29 intended for snap into a housing of the body 11 to keep the case closed in the absence of use and a hinge tab 30.

La face avant 20 et le côté extérieur 22 sont recouverts d'une couche 33 d'un vernis mat incolore.The front face 20 and the outer side 22 are covered with a layer 33 of a colorless matt varnish.

La face arrière 21 est recouverte entièrement, dans l'exemple de réalisation décrit, par une couche 34 de peinture noire, opaque.The rear face 21 is completely covered, in the exemplary embodiment described by a layer 34 of black, opaque paint.

La présence de cette couche 34 permet, de manière inattendue, d'obtenir un effet esthétique attractif.The presence of this layer 34 makes it possible, unexpectedly, to obtain a attractive aesthetic effect.

En effet, la lumière entrant par le côté extérieur 22 comme illustré sur la figure 4, diffuse dans la matière non opaque sous la face avant 2() et crée un effet de halo, suffisamment contrasté grâce à la présence de la couche 34 de peinture.Indeed, the light entering from the outer side 22 as illustrated on the Figure 4, diffuses in the non-opaque material under the front face 2 () and creates a halo, sufficiently contrasted thanks to the presence of layer 34 of paint.

La face avant 20 apparaít ainsi sensiblement plus lumineuse à sa périphérie qu'en son centre.The front face 20 thus appears significantly brighter at its periphery than at its center.

Cet effet de lumière est d'autant plus prononcé que l'on se rapproche du bord 23 de la face avant, de sorte que l'on obtient un dégradé particulièrement esthétique.This light effect is all the more pronounced the closer you get to the edge 23 of the front face, so that a particularly aesthetic gradient is obtained.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée à l'exemple de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit.Of course, the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiment which has just been described.

L'invention s'applique en particulier à toute pièce réalisée dans une matière non opaque, par exemple un bouchon d'étui de rouge à lèvre ou d'applicateur de mascara.The invention applies in particular to any part made of a material not opaque, for example a lipstick case or applicator cap mascara.
