Definitions

  • the present invention relates to product dispensers arranged for allow the user to observe the color of the product.
  • This body is closed at one end by a cap made of a material transparent plastic, allowing the user to observe the color of the product.
  • lipstick cases comprising a drive mechanism comprising a lower part and an upper part rotatable relative to the bottom to cause axial displacement a stick of lipstick.
  • the lower part is inserted in a base made in a transparent plastic.
  • a certain amount of the same product as that constituting the stick is poured into the base before mounting on the drive mechanism, to indicate the user the color of the product, even when the closure cap of the case is in place.
  • the lateral surface of the base is partially painted to hide the lower part of the drive mechanism.
  • the present invention aims to propose a new distribution device comprising a body housing a drive mechanism, with the possibility for the user to observe the color of the product.
  • the body of the dispensing device includes a transparent part overlooking a housing suitable for containing a product sample, and this new dispensing device is characterized in that the body further comprises a outer tubular wall and an inner chimney closed at one end by the drive mechanism and opening at the other end into said housing.
  • the transparent part is fixed to the outer tubular wall.
  • the invention makes it possible to reduce the risks of leakage mentioned above, since the product contained in the housing is not likely to escape from it that by the internal chimney, must to leave this last to cross the mechanism training, and even if it succeeds, does not lead immediately outside the dispensing device, due to the presence of the tubular wall outside.
  • the central chimney is connected to the wall outer tubular by a solid annular wall.
  • the transparent part is fixed by welding to the device.
  • the transparent part comprises a transparent wall constituting the bottom of the aforementioned housing.
  • This transparent wall is extended in a particular embodiment to its periphery by a mounting skirt, arranged for example to engage in the wall tubular outside the body of the dispensing device.
  • the mounting skirt externally covers the end of the outer tubular wall.
  • the body has an annular rib forming with the outer tubular wall a groove in which the mounting skirt is engaged.
  • the outer tubular wall masks the skirt of mounting over its entire height.
  • the transparent part is constituted by a disc engaged in the outer tubular wall.
  • a metal sleeve is housed in the body of the device of distribution.
  • the dispensing device 1 shown in Figure 1 is a case of red to lips.
  • It comprises a body 2 of elongated shape, comprising a tubular wall exterior 3, of axis X, and an interior chimney 4 of the same axis.
  • the walls 3 and 5 and the chimney 4 are made in one piece by molding of plastic.
  • An annular rib 6, of axis X is connected at its upper end to the wall 5 and forms, with the end 29 of wall 3, an annular groove 7 of axis X, open down.
  • the upper end of the wall 3 has a slight recess 9, for receiving the end of a closure cap for the case, not shown.
  • the inner surface 8 of the wall 3 is cylindrical with an axis X revolution on its entire height, between the recess 9 and the annular wall 5.
  • the external surface 10 of the wall 3 is cylindrical in revolution at its part upper then slightly frustoconical, diverging downwards.
  • a cone 11 is present in the center of the chimney 4 at its lower end.
  • This cone 11 is connected by four bridges of material 12, equally spaced angularly around the axis X, at the radially inner surface 13 of the chimney 4.
  • the cone 11 corresponds to the point of injection of the plastic material into the mold used to manufacture the chimney 4 and the wall 3.
  • the body 2 also has a transparent part at its end lower.
  • This transparent part is constituted by a transparent part reported 16, produced by injection molding in a transparent plastic material.
  • the transparent part 16 comprises a discoid wall 21 extending substantially perpendicular to the X axis, extended upwards at its periphery by a mounting skirt 17, symmetrical in revolution about the axis X.
  • This mounting skirt 17 has a shoulder 18 on its surface radially outer, and, above this shoulder, a narrower part 19 engaged and fixed by welding, gluing, snapping or clamping in the groove 7.
  • the shoulder 18 abuts axially against the end edge of the wall 3.
  • the radially outer surface 20 of the mounting skirt 17, below the shoulder 18, is located in the extension of the frustoconical part of the surface outdoor 10.
  • the wall 21 has a flat outer surface 22 perpendicular to the axis X and an inner surface 23 curved, convex inward.
  • the wall 21 constitutes the bottom of a housing 24 delimited on the one hand radially by the mounting skirt 17 and the rib 6 and on the other hand superiorly by the wall 5 and the chimney 4.
  • a drive mechanism 25 is then attached to the upper end of the chimney 4.
  • This drive mechanism 25 is well known in itself and comprises a part lower 26 secured to the chimney 4 and an upper part 27 movable in rotation around the X axis with respect to the lower part 26.
  • the relative rotation of the lower 26 and upper 27 parts causes the displacement along the X axis of a cup supporting a stick of product.
  • the lower part 26 is fixed to the chimney 4 by any known means, and comprises for example a bore or a groove arranged to be force-fitted on the upper part of the chimney 4.
  • the product poured into the housing 24 is the same as that of which the stick contained in the drive mechanism 25, which allows the user observe the color of the product even when the case is closed.
  • the dispensing device 40 shown in Figure 2 differs from the device 1 previously described by the shape of the lower end of the tubular wall and by that of the transparent part, which now bears the reference 44.
  • the dispensing device 40 has an annular rib 41 which forms a shoulder 42 inwards by connecting to the wall 5.
  • the transparent piece 44 includes a mounting skirt 45 which engages on the rib 41 and abuts by its upper edge against the shoulder 42.
  • the distribution device 50 shown in FIG. 3 differs from that represented in FIG. 1 by the fact that the annular rib 6 is replaced by sectors 51 of lesser height, and by the fact that the transparent part 16 is replaced by a transparent part 52 which has a disc wall 55 and a mounting skirt 53 being inserted inside the lower end 29 of the tubular wall exterior 3, around sectors 51.
  • the height of the mounting skirt 53 is less than that of the housing radially delimited by the lower end 29, so that the mounting skirt 53 is is entirely masked by this lower end 29.
  • the color of the product contained in the room transparent can only be seen through the wall 55.
  • a metal sleeve 60 is inserted inside the wall 3 and comes to bear against the inner surface 8 of the latter.
  • This sleeve 60 makes it possible to weigh down the dispensing device, which improves its stability when standing upright on a flat surface.
  • the sleeve 60 can, in a variant not shown, extend towards the high out of the wall 3 to be used for fixing the closure cap of the case.
  • the dispensing device 70 shown in FIG. 4 differs from that represented in FIG. 1 by the fact that the lower end of the tubular wall outer, which bears the reference 71, is thicker and has on its inner surface a shoulder 72.
  • the transparent part here consists of a simple disc 73 made of material transparent plastic, the outer surface 74 of which is slightly concave towards the outside and the inside surface 75 is convex towards the inside.
  • the disc 73 has a peripheral part 77 which bears on the one hand by its edge 78 on the radially inner surface of the lower end 71 of the outer tubular wall and on the other hand, against the shoulder 72 by its upper face.
  • the transparent part is waterproofly attached to the rest of the case body, which in combination with the presence of the interior chimney provides the advantages mentioned above.
