Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a housing, as commonly used in the the field of cosmetics, in particular for the packaging of makeup.
  • housings of the type comprising a hinged lid on a bottom, defining a housing opening on an opening located substantially in a map.
  • the lid is articulated about an axis, in the form of a attached element, parallel to the plane of the opening.
  • a closing mechanism more or less sophisticated, ensures a closure of more or less good quality, and allowing opening and closing gestures, which can be repeated one number of times greater or less, without significant wear of the mechanism of closing and articulation.
  • the housing comprises a plurality of elements circular rotatable 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 comprises a bottom and a intermediate element pivotally mounted on the bottom around an axis perpendicular to the plan of the opening of a dwelling delimited by the bottom.
  • the locking in rotation of the intermediate element on the bottom is done through a hinged lid on the bottom.
  • gestures are complicated and binding.
  • the operation of such a housing is uncertain. Its cost price is important.
  • the housing described in US-A-3,392,868 comprises a stack of a plurality of circular section elements, pivotally mounted 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.
  • US-A-3 161 315 discloses a housing of the aforementioned type using complicated opening / closing mechanisms. The cost price of such a housing is high.
  • the two functions can be satisfactorily performed without privileging one to the detriment of the other.
  • the first arrangement makes it difficult, except risk of irreversibly damaging the case, any attempt opening by tilting one of the parts relative to the other, around an axis perpendicular to the prescribed pivot axis.
  • the second arrangement pivotally locks the second portion relative to the first, in the two possible directions of rotation, the transition from the locked position to unlocked, and conversely, being as easy as required by the application to which is dedicated to the housing.
  • the second part comprises a bottom, the first housing having an opening delimited by an edge the entirety of which is 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 within least one 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 in engagement with each other, prevent, except to risk to irreversibly damage the housing, the opening of the housing by a movement other than the pivoting movement about 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 throat against which the relief would abut corresponding if the user was tempted to unlock the case by a movement perpendicular to the normal axis is about 0.7 mm.
  • the height of the relief engaging inside the groove is of the order of 0.6 mm.
  • the groove (s) is (are) delimited by two edges deviating from each other towards a first surface formed by the second part (respectively, the first), and in which the said one or more throat (s) opens (s), so as to guide the engagement of said relief to the interior of said groove (or one of said grooves) during the closure of the housing.
  • the two edges can be parallel so as to leave a gap between the relief and the edges of the groove.
  • the (or) throat (s) does not open, thus contributing, in combination with another characteristic that we will describe in more detail later, to prevent the opening housing by a rotation in the opposite direction to that prescribed.
  • the throat also opens on the second surface.
  • two throats can be planned.
  • the two throats extend in the same plane parallel to the circular section of the housing, one leading to the first surface, the other leading to the second, the two grooves being separated by a common bottom.
  • the second arrangement provides said locking by snapping.
  • 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 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 a groove oriented 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 preference means for not allowing the opening of the housing (respectively the closing) by a rotational movement only in a given direction.
  • Such means may comprise 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 having a second surface not parallel to said circular section, said second surface being of complementary profile to the profile of the first, and 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 said first and second surfaces comprises a portion of each of said first and second arrangements.
  • said second surface of the second member is formed by the edge a lateral tongue extending beyond the bottom of the second element.
  • the inner surface of this tongue defines the horizontal guide groove of the pivotal movement of the second part relative to the first and a vertical bead securing the second part on the first.
  • Indications in particular in the form of an arrow, are provided in such a way as to indicate, at least when opening, the direction of rotation allowed.
  • the first part comprises 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 pin formed by the second part (respectively, the first) and able to commit, in particular by snapping into a bore formed by the first part (respectively, the second).
  • the pivot axis can be defined by an axis reported, in particular metal.
  • the second part delimits a second housing, a cover being provided for removably covering said second housing.
  • Such second housing can be defined by a short annular skirt, formed remotely the peripheral edge of the bottom of the second part.
  • the housing is configured to allow access to the first housing prior to the removal of said lid covering the second housing.
  • access to the first housing is only possible after removal of the cover.
  • the second housing contains, directly or indirectly, said product.
  • the product can be poured or compacted directly into the housing, or disposed in the housing via a mounted cup, so removable or not, in the second housing.
  • the lid is screwed on the second part.
  • the direction of rotation of the lid in order to unscrew it is opposed to the pivotal direction of the second part relative to the first to allow access to the first dwelling.
  • the lid is transparent or translucent. This characteristic, in the case of a makeup product contained in the second housing, allows the user to see the color of the product through the lid.
  • the first housing contains an organ for applying said product, in particular a 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 dwelling. Such a mirror can be fixed by gluing.
  • each of its constituent parts is obtained molding one or more thermoplastic materials selected from polypropylene, polystyrene acrylonitrile (SAN), alone or in combination with minus another thermoplastic material, in particular an acrylobutadiene styrene (ABS).
  • SAN polystyrene acrylonitrile
  • ABS acrylobutadiene styrene
  • the housing has only two parts: a bottom and a relatively pivot-mounted cover basically, the bottom delimiting 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 arranged in the same housing as the product, above its free surface.
  • the housing does not include applicator, the sampling and application being done on the finger.
  • the housing according to the invention can be advantageously used for the conditioning at least one cosmetic product, in particular a blush, a make-up eyelids or blush.
  • the housing 1, according to the embodiment illustrated in Figures 1, 2, 3A, 3B, 4, 5A, and 5B, comprises a cup 3 of circular section, one end of which is closed by a bottom 2.
  • the side wall 4 of the cup 3 flares towards a free edge 5 delimiting an opening 6 for a housing 7 formed inside the side wall 4.
  • the cup 3 is obtained by molding a material formed at 80% of SAN and 20 % of ABS.
  • the cup 3 In the vicinity of its periphery, the cup 3 has a bore 8 for snap receiving a lug which will be described in more detail later.
  • the bore 8 is of X axis perpendicular to the circular section of the cup 3.
  • the outer surface of the side wall 4 forms an extra thickness 9 extending angularly on a few degrees.
  • the extra thickness 9 has the opposite of the bottom 2, a surface 10 of which a first portion, located substantially at half of the axial height of the lateral wall 4, is substantially parallel to the bottom 2. At beyond this first portion, the surface 10 is extended by a second portion progressively towards the opening 6 of the cup 3.
  • the side wall 4 forms above the surface 10 a throat 11, perpendicular to the plane of the bottom 2.
  • the groove extends over a height of about 2 mm.
  • the side wall forms a rib 12, perpendicular to the latching groove 11, and whose length is about 3 mm.
  • an arrow 14 oriented parallel to the bottom 2 of the cup 3, and turned towards the portion of the surface 10, closest to the edge 5 of the cup 3.
  • the housing 7 is intended to receive an applicator 13, which, according to this mode of particular embodiment, consists of a brush formed of a tuft of hair implanted at the end of a handle, in a longitudinal direction to the latter.
