Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for dispensing doses of a cosmetic product like a perfume, eau de toilette, lotion, cream, shampoo, skin oil or the like. More particularly the invention relates to a device for dispensing a cosmetic product which comprises electronic means suitable for presenting an audible, visual or audiovisual message to users of the device and to persons in the direct vicinity of the device, to commercially promote the cosmetic product and/or the product brand and/or the product manufacturer.
  • An effective way to bring the public into contact with the actual cosmetic product is to bring the product to public locations where there is a need for it and where the product can be used and tested in a more or less private manner.
  • locations are for instance rest rooms and locker rooms in hotels, saunas, health and fitness clubs etcetera.
  • Cosmetic products like creams, shampoos and skin oils for professional use in these environments are often sold in bottles, jars or other disposable containers. These low-cost containers are often produced in large quantities and offer poor possibilities for effective promotion of the product line or for conveying a marketing life-style image to a user.
  • the use of dispensers can be a remedy to some of these drawbacks. From the prior art a large number of dispensers for cosmetic products is known.
  • a device for dispensing doses of a cosmetic product like a perfume, eau de toilette, lotion, cream, shampoo, skin oil or the like which comprises electronic means suitable for presenting an audible, visual or audiovisual message to users of the device and to persons in the direct vicinity of the device, to commercially promote the cosmetic product and/or the product brand and/or the product manufacturer.
  • the device according to the invention comprises electronic means to provide appropriate electronic signals to control certain functions of the device.
  • a microcontroller could be used.
  • An EEPROM Electrical Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory
  • the device according to the invention comprises:
  • said back-plate of the device can be attached to a wall with the use of commonly known means of attachment.
  • the device according to the present invention is provided with a support at the lower end so that the device can stand alone.
  • the device according to the invention can be equipped with electronic means that can detect the presence of a user's hand in a specific zone in the direct vicinity of said outlet or nozzle of the device. Upon this detection said electronic means actuate the device to dispense a dose of said cosmetic product.
  • the placement of said outlet or nozzle of the device and the placement of said actuating means enable delivery of doses of the cosmetic product in a downward direction, in or onto the hand of a user. In this way the risks of damage to clothing or, for instance, the eyes of a user or another person in the vicinity of the device, are minimized.
  • Said cover of the device may comprise an area that is transparent for light and located at a position that is visible to a user of the device. Behind this transparent area a promotional picture could be placed, or for instance an electronic display screen.
  • the device according to the invention preferably comprises an internal light source. This light source can be placed behind said transparent area of the device cover to create an appealing visual effect and draw attention to the cosmetic product.
  • an electronic display screen is attached in or on said cover of the device, at a position that is visible to a user of the device.
  • This display screen is preferably suitable for displaying static or moving images and could be successivefully implemented in the form of a L.C.D. (Liquid Crystal Display) or T.F.T. (Thin Film Transistor) screen, although every screen of a suitable type can be used.
  • the device comprises means able to detect insertion of a predetermined payment unit, after which the device is enabled to dispense a dose of said cosmetic product.
  • Said payment unit could be a coin, but also an electronic medium like a chipcard.
  • the device according to the present invention is preferably equipped with a battery of suitable type.
  • Electronic means in or attached to the device according to the invention are to be sufficiently shielded from a user to prevent electric shock or electrocution and shall comply with at least the minimum required local safety standards.
  • the device according to the present invention may comprise electronic means to detect a predefined condition in its vicinity, to which it reacts by switching off or on (part of) its electronic functions.
  • Said condition in the vicinity of the device could be for instance the switching off of lights in the room where the device is located, or the fact that the device has not been used for a specific period of time.
  • FIG.1A there is shown a first preferred embodiment of the device according to the present invention comprising a cover 1 shielding the inner parts of the device and protecting the device against unauthorized access and vandalism.
  • Said cover 1 can be attached to a back-plate with side-walls 2 and locked into place with the use of a locking mechanism (not shown) operatable by a key that is to be inserted in keyhole 3.
  • a locking mechanism (not shown) operatable by a key that is to be inserted in keyhole 3.
  • At the lower end cover 1 contains an opening of suitable width to enable a user to operate a lever 5 which actuates the device to dispense a dose of a cosmetic product into the user's hand through an outlet or nozzle 4.
  • Cover 1 further comprises a transparent area 6 behind which an electronic display screen is located.
  • the transparent part 6 of cover 1 is made of a material of sufficient strength and thickness to protect said display screen from vandalism and other outside influences that may damage the screen.
  • FIG. 2A shows a second embodiment of the device according to the present invention.
  • the device is mounted on a support 7 by attaching back-plate 2 of the device to back-plate 8 of the support.
  • This attachment can be accomplished with means or techniques known to a skilled professional and should prevent separation of the device from the support by an unauthorized person.
  • the support 7 is manufactured of a suitable material and has a sufficient weight to provide a construction that is mechanically stable under normal usage conditions.
  • FIG. 3A shows an embodiment of the device according to the present invention in which the transparent area 6 of cover 1 is flat instead of curved. In some cases this can be advantageous to the image quality of the electronic display screen that is located behind said transparent area 6.
  • FIG. 3A and 3B show the device according to the invention mounted on a support it should be clear to the reader that this is not a limiting feature and that, for instance, attachment to a wall is equally possible.
  • a parameter like the curvature or angle of area 6 of cover 1 can be modified to provide optimum image quality of the electronic display screen under different usage conditions, but is in no way limiting to application of the device according to the present invention.
