Description
La présente invention est relative à un boítier de conditionnement d'un produit, notamment un produit de maquillage ou de soins, du type comprenant un corps de boítier comportant une cavité apte à recevoir le produit et un couvercle apte à s'appliquer sur le corps de boítier pour enfermer de manière étanche ledit produit.The present invention relates to a housing for packaging a product, in particular a make-up or care product, of the type comprising a body housing comprising a cavity capable of receiving the product and a cover capable of apply to the housing body to seal said product.
Le volume de la cavité définie à l'intérieur du boítier est en général supérieur au volume occupé par le produit, ce dernier volume décroissant en outre au fur et à mesure de l'utilisation.The volume of the cavity defined inside the housing is generally greater to the volume occupied by the product, this latter volume decreasing further as usage measurement.
De tels boítiers de conditionnement, en particulier pour des produits de maquillage tels que des fards, sont souvent amenés à être transportés, par exemple dans un sac à main, dans des positions où le produit contenu peut se déplacer dans la cavité qu'il n'occupe que partiellement.Such packaging boxes, in particular for products of make-up such as make-up, are often brought to be transported, for example in a handbag, in positions where the product contained can move in the cavity that it only partially occupies.
Certains produits, tels que des crèmes, possèdent une tension superficielle ou une texture telles que le produit ne bouge pas dans le boítier de conditionnement même s'il n'occupe que partiellement la cavité interne du boítier et ce, quelle que soit la position de stockage du boítier.Some products, such as creams, have surface tension or a texture such that the product does not move in the packaging box itself if it only partially occupies the internal cavity of the case, regardless of the position storage case.
Par ailleurs, certains produits, tels que des fluides ou des poudres, ont des caractéristiques telle qu'ils reprennent leur place instantanément dès que le boítier est remis en position redressée.In addition, certain products, such as fluids or powders, have characteristics such that they take their place instantly as soon as the case is returned to the upright position.
Dans les deux cas exposés ci-dessus, lors de l'ouverture du boítier, le produit est correctement en place dans la cavité du corps de boítier et peut être appliqué par l'utilisateur à l'aide de son doigt ou d'un applicateur dans de bonnes conditions.In the two cases described above, when the case is opened, the product is correctly in place in the housing body cavity and can be applied by the user using his finger or an applicator in good conditions.
Par contre, avec certains produits à consistance semi-liquide, c'est-à-dire notamment des crèmes, pâtes ou gels ayant une consistance telle qu'ils fluent sous l'effet de leur poids dans les gammes de températures usuelles, notamment des produits ayant des formules viscoélastiques, c'est-à-dire des formules qui sont très lentes à reprendre leur état d'équilibre après avoir été déplacées, ou des produits ayant des formules de type polymères à mémoire ou associatifs, on constate, par exemple lorsque le boítier a été transporté dans un sac, que le produit, une fois déplacé dans le volume intérieur du boítier, ne revient pas instantanément en place dans la cavité du corps de boítier.On the other hand, with certain semi-liquid products, that is to say in particular creams, pastes or gels having a consistency such that they flow under the effect their weight in the usual temperature ranges, in particular products having viscoelastic formulas, i.e. formulas that are very slow to pick up their state of equilibrium after being moved, or products having formulas of the type memory or associative polymers, we see, for example when the case has been transported in a bag, that the product, once moved in the interior volume of the case, does not return instantly in place in the cavity of the body of the case.
On rencontre alors une grande difficulté à le prélever et donc à l'utiliser en le dosant parfaitement au doigt ou avec un applicateur pour obtenir un soin ou un maquillage homogène. There is then a great difficulty in taking it and therefore in using it in dosing perfectly with your finger or with an applicator to obtain a treatment or homogeneous makeup.
La présente invention se propose de réaliser un boítier de conditionnement de produit de maquillage ou de soins qui, lorsqu'il est mis en oeuvre avec des produits à consistance semi-liquide, notamment des produits de type à formules viscoélastiques ou de type polymères associatifs ou à mémoire, permet d'éviter les inconvénients des boítiers connus et permet en outre de garder une bonne esthétique du produit dans le boítier, en particulier dès l'ouverture de celui-ci, et d'assurer un bon prélèvement au doigt ou à l'aide d'un applicateur lors de l'utilisation.The present invention proposes to provide a packaging box for make-up or care product which, when used with semi-liquid consistency, in particular products of the viscoelastic formula type or associative or memory polymer type, avoids the disadvantages of housings known and also allows to keep a good aesthetic of the product in the housing, in particular from the opening of the latter, and to ensure a good sampling with the finger or using an applicator during use.
La présente invention a ainsi pour objet un boítier de conditionnement d'un produit à consistance semi-liquide, notamment de maquillage ou de soins, comprenant un corps de boítier comportant une cavité apte à recevoir le produit et un couvercle apte à s'appliquer sur le corps de boítier pour enfermer de manière étanche ledit produit, caractérisé par le fait que le couvercle et le corps de boítier présentent des profils intérieurs choisis de telle sorte qu'au moins avant la première utilisation, et après fluage du produit sous l'effet de son poids en l'absence de couvercle sur le corps de boítier, la mise en place du couvercle sur le corps de boítier réduise l'épaisseur maximale du produit.The present invention thus relates to a housing for packaging a product with a semi-liquid consistency, in particular for make-up or care, comprising a housing body comprising a cavity suitable for receiving the product and a cover suitable for apply to the housing body to seal said product, characterized by the fact that the cover and the housing body have profiles interiors chosen so that at least before first use, and after creep of the product under the effect of its weight in the absence of a cover on the housing body, the fitting the cover on the housing body reduces the maximum thickness of the product.
Ainsi, la mise en place du couvercle sur le corps de boítier remet en forme le produit, lequel est assuré de conserver une esthétique et une forme satisfaisantes.Thus, the establishment of the cover on the housing body reshapes the product, which is guaranteed to maintain a satisfactory aesthetic and shape.
Dans une réalisation particulière, le couvercle présente intérieurement une paroi en relief de forme correspondant sensiblement à la forme de la cavité du corps de boítier, et agencée pour, lorsque le couvercle est mis en place sur le corps de boítier, définir dans ladite cavité un espace d'une hauteur inférieure à la profondeur de ladite cavité de telle sorte que le produit, en position fermée du boítier, remplit sensiblement ledit espace en étant en contact avec ladite paroi en relief du couvercle et la paroi définissant la cavité du corps de boítier.In a particular embodiment, the cover internally has a wall in relief of shape corresponding substantially to the shape of the body cavity housing, and arranged for, when the cover is put in place on the housing body, define in said cavity a space of a height less than the depth of said cavity so that the product, in the closed position of the housing, fills substantially said space being in contact with said raised wall of the cover and the wall defining the cavity of the housing body.
Ainsi, le produit logé dans le boítier peut occuper en position fermée de celui-ci sensiblement la totalité du volume disponible, et ne peut donc changer sensiblement de forme lors du transport du boítier, par exemple dans un sac.Thus, the product housed in the housing can occupy in the closed position thereof substantially all of the available volume, and therefore cannot change significantly from shape during transport of the case, for example in a bag.
Même à la suite de prélèvements du produit, ce dernier, compte tenu du volume de faible hauteur défini entre des parois en regard à l'intérieur du boítier, est contraint à conserver une forme telle, qu'à l'ouverture du boítier, le produit se trouvera, selon le cas, sur la paroi définissant la cavité ou sur la paroi en relief du couvercle, dans une disposition permettant un prélèvement dans d'excellentes conditions, le produit restant homogène et ayant une épaisseur contrôlée, sensiblement constante par exemple.Even after taking the product, the latter, taking into account the volume of low height defined between facing walls inside the housing, is forced to keep a shape such that when the box is opened, the product will be found, depending on the case, on the wall defining the cavity or on the raised wall of the cover, in a provision allowing a sample under excellent conditions, the product remaining homogeneous and having a controlled thickness, substantially constant for example.
En outre, un creux formé dans le produit suite à un prélèvement pourra être comblé grâce au fluage du produit sous l'effet de son poids.In addition, a hollow formed in the product following a withdrawal may be filled thanks to the creep of the product under the effect of its weight.
Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, la paroi définissant la cavité du corps de boítier et la paroi en relief du couvercle ont une forme hémisphérique, le diamètre de la paroi en relief du couvercle étant inférieur au diamètre de la paroi définissant la cavité du corps de boítier.According to a particular embodiment, the wall defining the cavity of the body of the housing and the raised wall of the cover have a hemispherical shape, the diameter of the raised wall of the cover being less than the diameter of the wall defining the cavity of the housing body.
La paroi en relief du couvercle peut être réalisée d'un seul tenant avec celui-ci ou, en variante être formée par une coupelle rapportée dans le couvercle.The raised wall of the cover can be made in one piece with it or, alternatively, be formed by a cup attached to the cover.
La coupelle peut être réalisée en un matériau plus souple que le couvercle.The cup can be made of a more flexible material than the cover.
Avantageusement, le corps de boítier et/ou le couvercle sont réalisés, au moins en partie, en un matériau transparent permettant de voir le produit et déterminer le cas échéant son niveau d'épuisement.Advantageously, the housing body and / or the cover are made, at less in part, in a transparent material allowing to see the product and determine the if necessary its level of exhaustion.
Lorsque l'on utilise des produits colorés, le fait de les voir par transparence et avec un effet de loupe, au travers du boítier, confère à l'ensemble une esthétique tout à fait particulière.When using colored products, seeing them through transparency and with a magnifying glass effect, through the housing, gives the whole an aesthetic particular fact.
Le couvercle et le corps de boítier peuvent être assemblés l'un à l'autre par vissage ou, en variante, le couvercle peut être monté articulé par une charnière au corps du boítier et assemblé à ce dernier, notamment par encliquetage.The cover and the housing body can be assembled to each other by screwing or, alternatively, the cover can be mounted articulated by a hinge to the body of the housing and assembled to the latter, in particular by snap-fastening.
Des moyens d'étanchéité sont avantageusement prévus entre le corps de boítier et le couvercle, ceux-ci pouvant prendre la forme d'un joint torique, à lèvres, ou autre. L'étanchéité peut également être assurée par des portées coniques en regard du corps de boítier et du couvercle.Sealing means are advantageously provided between the body of housing and cover, these may take the form of an O-ring, lip, or other. Sealing can also be ensured by tapered surfaces facing the housing body and cover.
Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, la paroi en relief du couvercle est agencée pour présenter des propriétés et/ou un agencement de surface, par exemple des facettes, différents de ceux de la paroi définissant la cavité du corps de boítier, pour retenir préférentiellement le produit sur ladite paroi en relief.In a particular embodiment, the raised wall of the cover is arranged to exhibit surface properties and / or arrangement, for example facets, different from those of the wall defining the cavity of the housing body, for preferentially retain the product on said raised wall.
Dans ce cas, le couvercle peut servir directement d'applicateur du produit, celui-ci étant fixé selon une épaisseur contrôlée sur la paroi en relief du couvercle.In this case, the cover can be used directly as a product applicator, the latter being fixed according to a controlled thickness on the raised wall of the cover.
Dans une réalisation particulière, le corps de boítier présente un état de surface différent de celui du couvercle, de manière par exemple à retenir préférentiellement le produit dans le corps de boítier.In a particular embodiment, the housing body has a state of surface different from that of the cover, so for example to retain preferably the product in the housing body.
L'une de la paroi en relief du couvercle et de la paroi définissant la cavité du corps du boítier peut présenter une forme non symétrique de révolution, afin d'empêcher le produit de tourner par rapport à cette paroi à l'ouverture du boítier.One of the raised wall of the cover and of the wall defining the cavity of the body of the housing may have a non-symmetrical shape of revolution, in order to prevent the product to rotate relative to this wall at the opening of the housing.
Dans le but de mieux faire comprendre l'invention on va maintenant en décrire des modes de réalisation nullement limitatifs en se référant au dessin annexé, dans lequel :

On se réfère tout d'abord aux figures 1 à 6. Le boítier de conditionnement
selon l'invention, désigné globalement par 1, comporte un corps de boítier 2 et un
couvercle 3.We first refer to Figures 1 to 6. The packaging box
according to the invention, generally designated by 1, comprises a
Dans le mode de réalisation illustré, le corps de boítier 2 et le couvercle 3
présentent des filetages coopérants 4 et respectivement 5, pour permettre un assemblage
par vissage du couvercle 3 sur le corps de boítier 2.In the illustrated embodiment, the
Le corps de boítier 2 comporte intérieurement une cavité 6 de forme
hémisphérique définie par une paroi 7.The
Le couvercle 3 comporte une paroi en relief 8 formant une coupelle
hémisphérique dont le sommet est dirigé vers le corps de boítier lorsque le couvercle est
amené à être mis en place sur celui-ci.The
Comme on le voit sur la figure 1, le diamètre de la paroi 8 en relief du
couvercle 3 est inférieur au diamètre de la paroi 7 de la cavité 6 du corps de boítier 2.As seen in Figure 1, the diameter of the
Des moyens d'étanchéité du volume intérieur de boítier sont prévus, dans
l'exemple illustré, sous la forme d'un joint torique 9. Sealing means of the interior volume of the housing are provided, in
the example illustrated, in the form of an O-
Ces moyens d'étanchéité peuvent être constitués par des joints de type
différent et/ou être formés par des parties coniques correspondantes réalisées au niveau
de parties d'extrémité de la paroi en relief 8 du couvercle et de la paroi 7 du corps de
boítier définissant la cavité 6.These sealing means can be constituted by seals of the type
different and / or be formed by corresponding conical parts made at level
end portions of the raised
Le corps de boítier 2 et le couvercle 3 peuvent être réalisés en tout matériau
approprié notamment en matière plastique rigide, le corps de boítier 2 et le couvercle 3
pouvant être réalisés totalement en un matériau transparent ou avoir les parois
hémisphériques 7 et 8 réalisées en un matériau transparent.The
On a illustré à la figure 1 le boítier de conditionnement encore ouvert et dans lequel on a coulé une quantité prédéterminée d'un produit P tel qu'un fard de maquillage ayant une formule viscoélastique très lente à reprendre sa disposition d'équilibre en cas de changement de position.Illustrated in Figure 1 the packaging case still open and in which has been poured a predetermined quantity of a product P such as a make-up makeup having a very slow viscoelastic formula to regain its balance arrangement in the event of position change.
On suppose que le boítier a été ouvert suffisamment longtemps pour que le produit P contenu à l'intérieur ait flué sous l'effet de son poids, sa surface étant devenue horizontale.It is assumed that the case has been opened long enough for the product P contained inside has crept under the effect of its weight, its surface having become horizontal.
Comme on le voit sur les figures 2 et 3, lors de la mise en place et du vissage
du couvercle 3 sur le corps de boítier 2, le produit P est enserré entre les parois 7 et 8 en
regard, s'écoule et finalement occupe sensiblement tout l'espace entre ces parois en
position fermée comme on le voit sur la figure 3. Cet espace est de hauteur très
sensiblement inférieure à la hauteur de la cavité 6 du corps de boítier 2.As seen in Figures 2 and 3, during installation and screwing
of the
Comme cela est visible sur la figure 4, lorsque le boítier, par exemple est
transporté dans un sac à main, est amené à prendre des positions quelconques différentes
de la position horizontale illustrée à la figure 3, le produit P ne bouge pas dans l'espace
défini entre les parois 7 et 8.As can be seen in Figure 4, when the case, for example is
transported in a handbag, is led to take any different positions
from the horizontal position illustrated in FIG. 3, the product P does not move in space
defined between
Une fois le couvercle retiré, dans la position illustrée à la figure 5, le produit
P présente dans le corps de boítier la forme qui lui a été conférée lors de la fermeture du
boítier, à savoir une forme en cuvette, que l'on peut qualifier d'équilibrée, sur toute la
surface de la paroi 7 définissant la cavité.Once the cover is removed, in the position illustrated in Figure 5, the product
P present in the housing body the shape which was given to it when closing the
housing, namely a bowl shape, which can be described as balanced, over the entire
surface of the
Du fait de sa faible épaisseur, le produit P se prête parfaitement à un prélèvement facile par un utilisateur soit par un doigt, soit à l'aide d'un applicateur.Due to its low thickness, the product P lends itself perfectly to easy removal by a user either with a finger or using an applicator.
De part sa rhéologie, le produit P n'a tendance à reprendre sa forme d'équilibre que très lentement et la forme en cuvette que l'on voit sur la figure 5 va subsister un certain temps.Due to its rheology, product P does not tend to regain its shape of equilibrium only very slowly and the bowl shape that we see in Figure 5 will subsist for some time.
Lorsque le couvercle est remis en place, le produit est de nouveau pressé, de la valeur de sa déformation mémoire, pour assurer lors d'une nouvelle ouverture une même forme en cuvette.When the cover is replaced, the product is pressed again, the value of its memory deformation, to ensure when reopening a same shape in bowl.
On peut donc dire que le produit aura été équilibré dans le corps de boítier lors de la première fermeture et aura été rééquilibré lors des fermetures suivantes.We can therefore say that the product will have been balanced in the body of the case during the first closure and will have been rebalanced during the following closings.
Les figures 6 et 7 illustrent le boítier selon l'invention, et respectivement le corps de boítier de celui-ci, après prélèvement, le niveau d'usure pouvant être visible si, comme indiqué précédemment, le corps de boítier et/ou le couvercle sont réalisés en totalité ou en partie en matériau transparent.Figures 6 and 7 illustrate the housing according to the invention, and respectively the body of the latter, after removal, the level of wear may be visible if, as indicated above, the housing body and / or the cover are made of all or part of transparent material.
On a illustré sur la figure 8 une variante de réalisation dans laquelle la paroi 8
en relief du couvercle 3 a été traitée ou agencée pour que le produit P reste
préférentiellement contre cette paroi plutôt que sur la paroi 7 définissant la cavité du
corps de boítier.FIG. 8 illustrates an alternative embodiment in which the
Ceci peut par exemple être obtenu à l'aide de facettes formées sur la surface

aspect poli, lisse, empêchant l'adhésion du produit.This can for example be obtained using facets formed on the surface
exterior of the
Ceci peut également être obtenu grâce à un choix particulier des matériaux constituant le corps du boítier et le couvercle.This can also be obtained thanks to a particular choice of materials constituting the body of the housing and the cover.
On comprend que dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 8 le couvercle peut servir directement d'applicateur du produit.It is understood that in the embodiment of Figure 8 the cover can serve directly as a product applicator.
La figure 9 illustre une variante de réalisation de couvercle dans laquelle la
paroi en relief 8a fait partie d'une coupelle rapportée dans le couvercle 3a, la coupelle
pouvant être réalisée en un matériau plus souple que le couvercle, ce qui permet le cas
échéant de se dispenser de moyens d'étanchéité entre le corps de boítier et le couvercle.FIG. 9 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the cover in which the

La figure 10 illustre un dispositif de maquillage mettant en oeuvre deux
boítiers 1' représentés l'un ouvert, l'autre fermé, qui se distinguent par le fait que le corps
de boítier 2' et le couvercle 3', au lieu d'être assemblés par vissage sont réunis par une
charnière 10.FIG. 10 illustrates a makeup device using two
boxes 1 'shown one open, the other closed, which are distinguished by the fact that the body

Des moyens d'encliquetage non représentés peuvent être prévus pour assurer le verrouillage du couvercle sur le corps de boítier.Latching means not shown may be provided to ensure locking the cover on the housing body.
Un miroir 11 est mis en place sur la face extérieure du couvercle. A
Bien que l'invention soit décrite en liaison avec des modes de réalisation particuliers, il est bien évident qu'elle n'y est nullement limitée et qu'on peut lui apporter différentes variantes et modifications en particulier sur la forme extérieure du corps de boítier et du couvercle sans pour autant sortir de son cadre, tel que défini par les revendications annexées.Although the invention is described in connection with embodiments individuals, it is obvious that it is in no way limited to it and that we can bring it different variants and modifications especially on the external shape of the body of housing and cover without departing from its frame, as defined by appended claims.
