Definitions

  • the invention relates to a housing, in particular intended to enclose a cosmetic product.
  • the invention relates to a housing comprising essentially a base, a cover and means of articulation of the cover relative to the base between a closed position in which it comes into contact with the base and an open position in which he is substantially away from the base.
  • Ways of articulation have a first and a second connected parts for one at the lid and the other at the base.
  • the first part includes a axis and the second part a housing in which pivots said axis following a axis of rotation, in order to articulate the cover relative to the base between the closed position and the open position.
  • the invention proposes that the device further comprises means for combining rotation and translation of the first part of the articulation means with respect to the second part of the articulation means.
  • the displacement of the axis inside the housing allows to increase the opening angle, while reducing the opening in the base and the size of the articulation means.
  • the combination of movements of rotation and translation facilitates the operations of opening and closing the lid.
  • the opening angle can thus be high and the space requirement reduced articulation means.
  • the invention proposes that the arc defined in section by the tongue has a variable radius of curvature.
  • An advantageous embodiment having this characteristic consists in that the tongue has in section an arcuate portion of circle connected to a substantially rectilinear portion disposed proximate of the axis.
  • the invention proposes that the dimensions of the housing are adjusted to those of the axis to create a friction between the axis and its housing and thus maintain in position the cover in relation to the base.
  • the lid is not likely to close on its own course of use.
  • the invention proposes that the base comprises two elements defining a bottom and a product receptacle between which is formed said housing.
  • the figures illustrate a housing 1 comprising a lid 2 articulated with respect to a base 4.
  • the base includes a bottom 6 and an element inside 8 arranged inside the bottom 6 to receive products cosmetics.
  • the bottom 6 has a peripheral rib 38 inserted into a groove 40 formed in the receptacle, so that the receptacle 8 is retained by interlocking with the bottom.
  • the housing further comprises articulation means 10 of the cover 2 relative to the base 4 between the closed position shown in FIGS. Figures 2 and 6 and the open position shown in Figures 1 and 5.
  • the articulation means comprise a first part integrated into the lid and a second part integrated into the bottom. part comprises a tongue 12 connected directly to the cover, an axis 14 extending along an axis of rotation 18 and a portion of connection 16 connecting the tongue 12 to the axis 14.
  • the second part has a housing 22 extending in a sliding direction 20 substantially vertical and guide means 24.
  • the bottom 6 has ribs 26 extending in the direction 20.
  • the receptacle 8 has ribs 28 extending in the sliding direction substantially opposite ribs 26 of the bottom 6.
  • the axis 14 bears on the ribs 26, 28 of the bottom 6 and the receptacle 8 delimiting the housing 22.
  • the distance between the ribs 26, 28 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the axis to create a friction to keep the lid in position.
  • the guiding means 24 comprise an interrupted slot 30 in its central part by a recess 32 narrower than the slot, so that it spares two extreme parts 30a, 30b.
  • This slot 30 is offset by relative to the direction of sliding 20, so that it is not in the extension of dwelling 22. It extends in a non-directional direction parallel to the sliding direction and moreover substantially curved so to improve the guidance of the tongue 12 inserted inside each end portions 30a, 30b.
  • the tongue 12 has in section an arc shape presenting a variable radius of curvature. It includes near the lid a first portion 12a having in section substantially an arc shape of circle and a second substantially rectilinear portion 12b near the axis 12. This second flat portion 12b comes opposite the bottom, substantially to its contact when the housing is in the closed position.
  • the connecting portion 16, narrower than the tongue 12 defines a neck that is also narrower than the recess 32 in order to allow the insertion of the tongue 12 inside the slot 30.
  • the housing further comprises locking means in closed position, comprising an elastic hook 34, connected to the lid, and a slitting 36, formed in the base 4, cooperating together and elastically dischargeable.
  • the hinge means 10 allow the lid to move the cover 2 between a closed position illustrated in Figure 2 and a position open as illustrated in Figure 1.
  • the lid 2 comes into contact with the base 4 along a substantially horizontal contact surface 42.
  • the guide means 24 combine the movements of rotation and translation of the cover 2 relative to the base 4, in order to open the cover 2 by rotation and to simultaneously remove it of the base 4 by translation.
  • the translation of the axis 14 in the direction of sliding 20 is substantially perpendicular to the contact surface 42, or at least it has a non-zero component in one direction perpendicular to the contact surface 42.
  • the bottom and the lid will advantageously be made in a styrene material, such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), styrene acrylonitrile (SAN), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polyester (PCTA / PCTG), polyamide (PA), polyacetal (POM) or polypropylene (PP).
