Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a housing, as commonly used in the cosmetics, in particular for the packaging of cosmetic products makeup.
  • the axis of rotation is located in the center of the housing defined by the cooperation of two half-shells. Such a configuration is not suitable for packaging cosmetic products.
  • the housing comprises a plurality of elements circular that can rotate two by two, relative to each other, around an axis perpendicular to the plane of their circular section.
  • the hanging of elements two by two is done by a single latching mechanism. Longevity, life expectancy such a system requires a robust articulation.
  • the makeup box includes a bottom and a intermediate element pivotally mounted on the bottom around an axis perpendicular to the plan of the opening of a housing delimited by the bottom.
  • the locking in rotation of the intermediate element on the bottom is done through a hinged cover on the bottom.
  • the gestures are complicated and binding. The operation of such a case is uncertain. Its cost price is important.
  • the housing described in document US-A-3 392 868 comprises a stack of a plurality of elements of circular section, pivotally mounted one on the other relative to the others around an axis perpendicular to their circular section. Any relative movement other than that around the pivot axis is prevented by the presence of two fixed elements arranged at each end of the stack.
  • the two functions can be performed satisfactorily, without favoring one at the expense of the other.
  • the first arrangement makes it difficult, except risk of irreversibly damaging the case, any attempt opening by tilting of one of the parts relative to the other, around an axis perpendicular to the prescribed pivot axis.
  • the second arrangement pivots the second part relative to the first, in the two possible directions of rotation, the passage from the locked position to unlocked, and vice versa, being as easy as required by the application to which is dedicated to the case.
  • the second part comprises a bottom, the first housing comprising an opening delimited by an edge the entirety of which is situated in below said bottom.
  • the useful volume of the compartment delimited by the bottom is necessarily limited to the height of the lowest edge portion.
  • the first arrangement comprises a relief formed by the first part (respectively, the second) and able to engage inside at least minus a groove formed by the second part (respectively the first) and extending parallel to said circular section.
  • the groove (s) are of sufficient depth and the relief of sufficient height, to, once put into engagement with each other, prevent, except to risk irreversibly damage the case, opening the case by a movement other than the pivot movement around said axis, in particular by a "forced tilting" around an axis parallel to the plane of the opening of the housing delimited by the first part.
  • the edge of the groove against which the relief would come up correspondent if the user was tempted to unlock the box by a movement perpendicular to the normal axis is of height approximately equal to 0.7 mm.
  • the height of the relief engaging inside the groove is of the order of 0.6 mm.
  • the unlocking of the latter can not be done that if we train the first part relative to the second around the axis of pivot perpendicular to said circular section of the housing.
  • the groove (s) is (are) delimited by two edges moving away from each other towards a first surface formed by the second part (respectively, the first), and wherein said (or said) groove (s) opens (s), so as to guide the engagement of said relief to the interior of said groove (or one of said grooves) when closing the housing.
  • said two edges can be parallel so as to leave a play minimal between the relief and the edges of the gorge.
  • the (or) throat (s) does not open (s), thus contributing, in combination with another characteristic which we will describe in more detail later, to prevent opening of the housing by a rotation in the opposite direction to that prescribed.
  • the groove also opens onto the second surface.
  • two grooves can be provided.
  • the two gorges extend in the same plane parallel to the circular section of the housing, one opening onto the first surface, the other opening onto the second, both gorges being separated by a common bottom.
  • the second arrangement ensures said locking by snap-fastening.
  • a snap is ensured by the cooperation between a relief in the form of a "grain of rice” and a corresponding groove. Both are from relatively low height so as to allow opening and closing easy.
  • the height of the "grain of rice” is of the order of 0.3 mm.
  • the second arrangement comprises an oriented groove parallel to said pivot axis, and formed by the first part (respectively the second), said groove being able to cooperate with an oriented bead parallel to said pivot axis, and formed by the second part (respectively, the first one).
  • the opening / closing mechanism includes preferably means for not authorizing the opening of the case (respectively the closing) by a rotational movement only in a given direction.
  • Such means may include a first element formed by the first part and a second element formed by the second, the first element comprising a first surface not parallel to said circular section, the second element comprising a second surface not parallel to said circular section, said second surface being of profile complementary to the profile of the first, and coming in abutment against the first when the housing is in the closed position.
  • one of said first and second elements delimiting one or the other of said first and second surfaces includes a portion of each of said first and second arrangements.
  • said second surface of the second element is formed by the edge a lateral tab extending beyond the bottom of the second element.
  • the internal surface of this tongue defines the horizontal guide groove of the pivot movement of the second part relative to the first and a vertical bead ensuring the snapping of the second part onto the first.
  • Indications in particular in the form of an arrow, are provided so as to indicate, at least when opening, the direction of rotation authorized.
  • the first part includes a first arrow in a first direction, the second part comprising a second arrow in the opposite direction to the direction of the first.
  • the second part can be pivotally mounted on the first via a lug formed by the second part (respectively, the first) and capable of engaging, in particular by snap-fastening, inside a bore formed by the first part (respectively, the second).
  • the pivot axis can be defined by an added axis, in particular made of metal.
  • the second part defines a second housing, a cover being provided to removably cover said second housing.
  • Such second housing can be defined by a short annular skirt, formed at a distance from the peripheral edge of the bottom of the second part.
  • the case is configured to allow access to the first housing prior to the removal of said cover covering the second housing.
  • access to the first housing is only possible after removing the cover.
  • the second housing contains, directly or indirectly, said product.
  • the product can be poured or compacted directly in the housing, or arranged in the housing via a mounted cup, so removable or not, in the second housing.
  • the cover is screwed onto the second part.
  • the direction of rotation of the cover for unscrewing can be identical or opposite to the pivot direction of the second part relative to the first to allow access to the first housing.
  • the cover is transparent or translucent. This characteristic, in the case of a makeup product contained in the second housing, allows the user can see the color of the product through the cover.
  • the first housing contains a member for applying said product, in particular a paint brush, a brush, a block of foam, or felt.
  • the housing can also include a mirror, arranged in particular on the bottom of the first accommodation. Such a mirror can be fixed by gluing.
  • each of its constituent parts is obtained for molding one or more thermoplastic materials chosen from polypropylene, acrylonitrile polystyrene (SAN), alone or mixed with at least one other thermoplastic material, in particular an acrylobutadiene styrene (ABS).
  • SAN acrylonitrile polystyrene
  • ABS acrylobutadiene styrene
  • the housing has only two parts: a bottom and a relatively pivotally mounted cover at the bottom, the bottom defining for example a first housing for the product and a second housing for the applicator.
  • the applicator is configured in the form of a puff and is placed in the same housing as the product, above its free surface.
  • the housing does not include applicator, taking and applying by finger.
