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, which device comprises electronic means suitable for presenting at least audible messages for promoting the product to users of the device and to persons in the direct vicinity of the device.
  • a device of this type is known from US-A-5.221.025, but this specific device comprises electronic means for emitting sound signals, that comprise synthesized voice messages, e.g. speech synthesis in order to announce that a refill needs changing that the assembly is wrong, to make advertising announcements, or to verify dosage of a product.
  • sound signals that comprise synthesized voice messages, e.g. speech synthesis in order to announce that a refill needs changing that the assembly is wrong, to make advertising announcements, or to verify dosage of a product.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a device of the type in the preamble in which the communication with the public is improved so that the promotion of the product is improved as well.
  • said device at least comprises electronic means suitable for presenting messages including visual or audiovisual messages.
  • These visual or audiovisual messages are suitable for commercially promoting the cosmetic product and/or the product brand and/or the product manufacturer.
  • the electronic display screen is of the LCD type.
  • the electronic display screen is of the TFT type.
  • 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) operable by a key that is to be inserted in keyhole 3.
  • a locking mechanism (not shown) operable 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 users 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.
  • 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
  • EEPROM Electrical Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory
  • This display screen is preferably suitable for displaying static or moving images and could be successfully implemented in the form of a LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or TFT (Thin Film Transistor) screen, although every screen of a suitable type can be used.
  • LCD Liquid Crystal Display
  • TFT Thin Film Transistor
  • 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 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.
