Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de conditionnement d'un produit, notamment un produit cosmétique solide, sous forme d'échantillon.The present invention relates to a device for packaging a product, in particular a solid cosmetic product, in the form of a sample.

Il est fréquent de distribuer des échantillons de produit cosmétique dans des magazines, en les associant par exemple à une page publicitaire. Pour conditionner les produits cosmétiques sous forme d'échantillon, on utilise notamment des tubes ou des flacons de dimensions réduites. Cependant, de tels conditionnements peuvent difficilement être distribués dans des magazines à des fins publicitaires du fait de leur taille. D'autres conditionnements, comme par exemple les sachets qui contiennent notamment des produits liquides ou crémeux ou encore des lingettes imprégnées de produits liquides peuvent plus facilement être insérés dans des magazines. Néanmoins, les sachets peuvent difficilement contenir des produits solides, comme par exemple des poudres compactées.It is common to distribute cosmetic product samples in magazines, for example by associating them with an advertising page. For condition cosmetic products as a sample, we use in particular tubes or bottles of reduced dimensions. However, from such packaging can hardly be distributed in magazines for advertising purposes due to their size. Other packaging, such as for example sachets which contain in particular liquid products or cream or wipes impregnated with liquid products can more easily be inserted into magazines. However, the sachets can hardly contain solid products, such as powders compacted.

Les documents FR 2 740 013 et US 2,061,139 décrivent un conditionnement pour un échantillon de produit cosmétique solide ou pâteux destiné à permettre la distribution de l'échantillon à des fins publicitaires par insertion dans une publication. Le conditionnement est constitué d'une plaque qui comporte une cavité centrale dans laquelle est insérée une coupelle qui contient l'échantillon de produit. La coupelle est fixée par une feuille adhésive collée sur une face de la plaque. Un opercule est apposé sur l'autre face de la plaque afin d'obturer la cavité contenant la coupelle. Un tel conditionnement, même s'il est sous forme de plaque, est relativement épais du fait de la présence de la coupelle.The documents FR 2 740 013 and US 2,061,139 describe a packaging for a sample of solid or pasty cosmetic product intended to allow distribution of the sample for advertising purposes by insertion into a publication. The packaging consists of a plate which includes a central cavity in which is inserted a cup which contains the sample of product. The cup is fixed by an adhesive sheet glued on one side of the plaque. A seal is affixed to the other side of the plate in order to close off the cavity containing the cup. Such conditioning, even if it is in the form of plate, is relatively thick due to the presence of the cup.

La demande de brevet FR 2 821 061 et le brevet US 5,161,688 décrivent un échantillon de maquillage qui s'affranchit de la coupelle, le produit étant directement inséré dans la cavité. La cavité est fermée de part et d'autre par un film adhésif. The patent application FR 2 821 061 and the US patent 5,161,688 describe a sample of makeup which is freed from the cup, the product being directly inserted into the cavity. The cavity is closed on both sides by a adhesive film.

Aucun de ces dispositifs n'est muni d'un couvercle. Or, il peut être intéressant de réaliser un échantillon imitant un boítier de maquillage, c'est-à-dire qui comporte un réceptacle pour le produit et un couvercle.None of these devices has a cover. Now, it can be interesting to make a sample imitating a make-up case, that is to say which has a product receptacle and a cover.

La demande de brevet WO88/07825 décrit ce type de conditionnement. En particulier, le conditionnement est constitué par deux plaques de type carte bancaire, reliées entre elles par deux étiquettes adhésives formant charnière de manière telle que lorsque les deux plaques sont superposées, les étiquettes formant charnière se situent sur les faces internes. Une première plaque est traversée par deux trous qui débouchent sur chaque face de la plaque et qui contiennent un produit cosmétique. Un film adhésif recouvre la face externe de la plaque de manière à obturer une ouverture des trous constituant ainsi le fond du logement du produit. Un tel conditionnement comportant deux étiquettes formant charnière est peu esthétique. En outre, le conditionnement comporte un nombre relativement important d'éléments constitutifs alors qu'il est préférable pour les conditionnements du type échantillon d'en limiter le nombre afin de réduire au maximum le coût de fabrication.Patent application WO88 / 07825 describes this type of packaging. In particular, the packaging consists of two card-type plates bank, connected together by two adhesive labels forming a hinge so that when the two plates are superimposed, the labels forming a hinge are located on the internal faces. A first plate is crossed by two holes which open on each side of the plate and which contain a cosmetic product. An adhesive film covers the external face of the plate so as to close an opening of the holes thus constituting the bottom product housing. Such packaging comprising two labels forming a hinge is unattractive. In addition, the packaging includes a relatively large number of components while it is preferable for sample type packaging, limit the number in order to minimize the manufacturing cost.

Aussi, est-ce un des objets de l'invention que de réaliser un dispositif de conditionnement d'un produit, notamment cosmétique, qui ne présente pas les inconvénients de la technique antérieure.Also, is it an object of the invention to provide a device for packaging of a product, in particular cosmetic, which does not have the disadvantages of the prior art.

C'est en particulier un objet de l'invention que de réaliser un dispositif qui soit peu encombrant tout en se rapprochant d'un boítier de maquillage par exemple.It is in particular an object of the invention to produce a device which is space-saving while approaching a makeup case for example.

C'est aussi un autre objet de l'invention que de réaliser un tel dispositif qui soit simple à réaliser et à faible coût.It is also another object of the invention to produce such a device which is simple to make and low cost.

C'est également un objet de l'invention que de réaliser un tel dispositif dans lequel le produit ait une surface visible lors de l'ouverture du dispositif qui soit acceptable d'un point de vue esthétique, en particulier qui ait une surface régulière. It is also an object of the invention to produce such a device in which the product has a visible surface when the device is opened which is aesthetically acceptable, especially that has a surface regular.

C'est encore un autre objet de l'invention que de réaliser un procédé de conditionnement d'un produit qui soit simple et peu onéreux.It is yet another object of the invention to carry out a method of packaging of a product which is simple and inexpensive.

Selon l'invention, ces objets peuvent être atteints en réalisant un dispositif de conditionnement d'un produit, notamment de maquillage, comportant:

  • un support de forme généralement plane comportant deux faces, ledit support étant traversé par au moins une cavité débouchant sur au moins une face par une première ouverture, ladite cavité contenant le produit ;
  • un couvercle, de forme généralement plane, articulé sur le support ;
According to the invention, these objects can be achieved by producing a device for packaging a product, in particular make-up, comprising:
  • a generally flat support having two faces, said support being traversed by at least one cavity opening on at least one face by a first opening, said cavity containing the product;
  • a cover, of generally flat shape, articulated on the support;

Le dispositif peut se caractériser en ce que le support et le couvercle sont articulés au moyen d'une articulation formée par :

  • i) une étiquette formant miroir collée sur une des faces du couvercle et sur une des faces du support ; et/ou
  • ii) une feuille adhésive fixée sur une face du couvercle et sur l'une des faces du support, la feuille adhésive obturant une seconde ouverture de la cavité formée sur la face du support opposée à la face comportant la première ouverture.
    • The device can be characterized in that the support and the cover are articulated by means of an articulation formed by:
  • i) a mirror label affixed to one of the faces of the cover and to one of the faces of the support; and or
  • ii) an adhesive sheet fixed on one face of the cover and on one of the faces of the support, the adhesive sheet closing a second opening of the cavity formed on the face of the support opposite the face comprising the first opening.

    • L'étiquette formant le fond du logement ou l'étiquette formant miroir constitue également une charnière pour le dispositif ce qui limite le nombre d'éléments constitutifs du dispositif et donc les étapes de réalisation du dispositif. Il est en outre plus facile de positionner correctement une seule étiquette que deux petites pour réaliser la charnière. On obtient ainsi un dispositif de conditionnement peu onéreux. De plus, l'étiquette formant le fond peut également être utilisée pour décorer la face externe du couvercle en étant par exemple imprimée au préalable ce qui est moins coûteux que d'imprimer un décor directement sur le couvercle.The label forming the bottom of the housing or the mirror label constitutes also a hinge for the device which limits the number of elements constitutive of the device and therefore the steps for producing the device. He is in in addition easier to correctly position a single label than two small to make the hinge. This gives a device for inexpensive packaging. In addition, the label forming the bottom can can also be used to decorate the outside of the cover by being example printed beforehand which is less expensive than printing a decor directly on the lid.

    Le couvercle peut être apte à reposer sur le support de manière à recouvrir au moins en partie la face du support sur laquelle débouche la première ouverture. The cover may be able to rest on the support so as to cover the less in part the face of the support on which the first opening opens.

    Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, le couvercle peut être apte à recouvrir l'intégralité de la face du support de manière à obtenir un dispositif qui se rapproche le plus possible d'un boítier.According to a particular embodiment, the cover can be able to cover the entire face of the support so as to obtain a device which is as close as possible to a box.

    La feuille adhésive peut être formée d'une ou plusieurs couches d'un matériau choisi parmi les matériaux thermoplastiques, notamment les polyoléfines ou les polyesters, et l'aluminium. Dans le cas des structures multicouches, on utilisera avantageusement une couche d'aluminium assurant une bonne conservation du produit.The adhesive sheet may be formed from one or more layers of a material chosen from thermoplastic materials, in particular polyolefins or polyesters, and aluminum. In the case of multilayer structures, we will use advantageously an aluminum layer ensuring good conservation of the product.

    La feuille adhésive peut être recouverte d'une impression, par exemple une inscription relative au produit, ou encore un motif décoratif.The adhesive sheet may be covered with a print, for example a inscription relating to the product, or a decorative motif.

    L'étiquette formant miroir peut être formée d'une ou plusieurs couches d'un matériau choisi parmi les matériaux thermoplastiques, notamment les polyoléfines ou les polyesters, et l'aluminium, et d'une couche de peinture formant miroir.The mirror label may be formed from one or more layers of a material chosen from thermoplastic materials, in particular polyolefins or polyesters, and aluminum, and a coat of paint forming a mirror.

    Le dispositif peut en outre également comprendre un opercule amovible obturant de manière amovible la première ouverture, ledit opercule étant à enlever préalablement à la première utilisation en vue d'accéder au produit. On protège ainsi le produit au moins avant une première utilisation. L'opercule peut être collé au moyen d'un adhésif sur la première face du support d'une manière telle qu'il peut être décollé et recollé au moins une fois. Il peut ne pas avoir de fonction adhésive dans une zone destinée à être en regard de la première ouverture. Il peut également présenter une zone de préhension permettant de saisir l'opercule afin de le désolidariser, au moins en partie, dudit support. L'opercule peut être en matériau transparent de manière à permettre de voir le produit. Il est par exemple réalisé en matériau thermoplastique, notamment en polyester ou en polypropylène.The device can also also include a removable cover closing the first opening removably, said cover being at remove before first use in order to access the product. We thus protects the product at least before a first use. The seal can be bonded with adhesive on the first side of the support in a way such that it can be peeled off and re-glued at least once. He may not have adhesive function in an area intended to be opposite the first opening. It can also have a gripping area allowing grasp the cover in order to separate it, at least in part, from said support. The cover may be made of transparent material so as to allow the view to be seen product. It is for example made of thermoplastic material, in particular in polyester or polypropylene.

    Selon un autre aspect, l'invention concerne un procédé de conditionnement d'un produit, notamment cosmétique, dans un dispositif tel qu'il vient d'être décrit lorsque la charnière est formée par la feuille adhésive, le procédé comportant les étapes suivantes :

  • a) former une plaque de manière à délimiter le support solidaire du couvercle ;
  • b) former la cavité dans le support ;
  • c) former une rainure sur au moins une face de la plaque entre le support et le couvercle ;
  • d) obturer de manière amovible la première ouverture au moyen d'un opercule amovible à enlever préalablement à la première utilisation en vue d'accéder au produit ;
  • e) introduire le produit dans la cavité via la seconde ouverture ;
  • f) obturer la seconde ouverture en collant la feuille adhésive sur la seconde face du support ;
  • g) plier le couvercle le long de la rainure et coller la feuille adhésive sur le couvercle.
    • According to another aspect, the invention relates to a process for packaging a product, in particular a cosmetic product, in a device as just described when the hinge is formed by the adhesive sheet, the process comprising the following steps:
  • a) forming a plate so as to delimit the support integral with the cover;
  • b) forming the cavity in the support;
  • c) forming a groove on at least one face of the plate between the support and the cover;
  • d) closing the first opening in a removable manner by means of a removable cover to be removed before the first use in order to access the product;
  • e) introduce the product into the cavity via the second opening;
  • f) close the second opening by sticking the adhesive sheet to the second face of the support;
  • g) fold the cover along the groove and stick the adhesive sheet on the cover.

    • L'invention concerne également un procédé de conditionnement d'un produit, notamment cosmétique, dans un dispositif tel qu'il vient d'être décrit lorsque la charnière est formée par l'étiquette formant miroir, le procédé comportant les étapes suivantes :

  • a') former une plaque de manière à délimiter le support solidaire du couvercle ;
  • b') former la cavité dans le support ;
  • c') former une rainure sur au moins une face de la plaque entre le support et le couvercle ;
  • d') obturer de manière amovible la première ouverture au moyen de l'opercule amovible à enlever préalablement à la première utilisation en vue d'accéder au produit ;
  • e') coller l'étiquette formant miroir en partie sur le couvercle et en partie sur le support ;
  • f) introduire le produit dans la cavité via la seconde ouverture ;
  • g') obturer la seconde ouverture en collant la feuille adhésive sur la seconde face du support ;
  • h') plier le couvercle le long de la rainure.
    • The invention also relates to a method for packaging a product, in particular a cosmetic product, in a device as described above when the hinge is formed by the mirror label, the method comprising the following steps:
  • a ') forming a plate so as to delimit the support integral with the cover;
  • b ') forming the cavity in the support;
  • c ') forming a groove on at least one face of the plate between the support and the cover;
  • d ') removably seal the first opening by means of the removable cover to be removed prior to first use in order to access the product;
  • e ') sticking the mirror label partly on the cover and partly on the support;
  • f) introduce the product into the cavity via the second opening;
  • g ') close the second opening by sticking the adhesive sheet on the second face of the support;
  • h ') fold the cover along the groove.

    • De tels procédés permettent de réaliser un dispositif dans lequel la surface du produit accessible à l'utilisateur est celle qui correspondait au fond de la cavité lors du remplissage si bien que la surface visible est parfaitement régulière.Such methods make it possible to produce a device in which the surface of the product accessible to the user is that which corresponded to the bottom of the cavity during filling so that the visible surface is perfectly regular.

    Les étapes a), b), c), a'), b') et c') peuvent être obtenues par découpage, ou alternativement par moulage. Ces étapes peuvent être réalisées simultanément ou, dans le cas du découpage, être réalisées successivement.Steps a), b), c), a '), b') and c ') can be obtained by cutting, or alternately by molding. These steps can be performed simultaneously or, in the case of cutting, be carried out successively.

    The invention consists, apart from the arrangements set out above, of a certain number of other arrangements which will be explained below, with reference to nonlimiting exemplary embodiments, described with reference to the appended figures, among which:
    • Figure 1 illustrates a perspective view of a first embodiment of a packaging device according to the invention;

    • Figure 5 shows a sectional view of the device illustrated in Figure 4;
    • FIGS. 6A to 6E schematically illustrate the different stages of a variant of the packaging method according to the invention.

    Le dispositif selon l'invention représenté sur les figures 1 et 2 comporte un support 20 rectangulaire, de format type carte bancaire, qui comporte dans son épaisseur une cavité 21 prévue pour recevoir le produit, ainsi qu'un couvercle 30, articulé sur le support 20, qui est également rectangulaire et de format du type carte bancaire. Il est bien évident que le support et le couvercle peuvent présenter toute autre forme, ils peuvent par exemple être carré, rond, ovale, etc... The device according to the invention shown in Figures 1 and 2 includes a support 20 rectangular, of the bank card type, which includes in its thickness a cavity 21 provided for receiving the product, as well as a cover 30, articulated on the support 20, which is also rectangular and of format of the bank card type. It is obvious that the support and the cover can present any other shape, they can for example be square, round, oval, etc ...

    Le support 20 a deux faces planes et parallèles 22 et 23 sur chacune desquelles débouche la cavité 21. La cavité 21 a donc deux ouvertures 210 et 211 respectivement sur chaque face 22 et 23 du support. Le support 20 présente une faible épaisseur de l'ordre du millimètre, par exemple entre 0,5 et 2 mm. Selon un exemple particulier, le support a une épaisseur de 0,8 mm. La cavité 21 a une section circulaire mais elle peut aussi être de section carrée, rectangulaire, ovale, ou de toute autre forme. La cavité est prévue pour recevoir une faible quantité de produit, par exemple 0,15 g.The support 20 has two flat and parallel faces 22 and 23 on each which opens the cavity 21. The cavity 21 therefore has two openings 210 and 211 respectively on each face 22 and 23 of the support. Support 20 has a small thickness of the order of a millimeter, for example between 0.5 and 2 mm. According to a particular example, the support has a thickness of 0.8 mm. The cavity 21 has a circular section but it can also be of square section, rectangular, oval, or any other shape. The cavity is designed to receive a small amount of product, for example 0.15 g.

    Un opercule amovible 40 est fixé sur une des faces du support, la face supérieure 22, de manière à obturer l'ouverture 210 de la cavité, celle par laquelle l'utilisateur pourra accéder au produit. Il s'agit par exemple d'une étiquette glacée de type polyester que l'on colle sur la face supérieure du support. On choisira de préférence une étiquette transparente de façon à permettre à l'utilisateur de voir le produit présent dans le conditionnement. L'étiquette est recouverte d'un adhésif semi-permanent permettant de la maintenir correctement en contact avec la face de façon à fermer l'ouverture tout en étant facilement retirable de la face. Avantageusement, on choisira un adhésif permettant de recoller au moins une fois l'étiquette sur le support après une première ouverture. L'opercule amovible comporte une zone de préhension 41 située à la périphérie de l'étiquette de manière à former une languette facilement saisissable par l'utilisateur pour retirer l'étiquette du support.A removable cover 40 is fixed on one of the faces of the support, the face upper 22, so as to close the opening 210 of the cavity, that by which the user can access the product. This is for example a polyester glossy label that is affixed to the upper side of the support. We will preferably choose a transparent label so as to allow the user to see the product present in the packaging. The label is covered with a semi-permanent adhesive allowing the keep properly in contact with the face so as to close the opening while being easily removable from the face. Advantageously, we will choose a adhesive allowing the label to be stuck on the support at least once a first opening. Removable cover has a gripping area 41 located at the periphery of the label so as to form a tongue easily entered by the user to remove the label from the support.

    Un film adhésif 50 est collé sur la seconde face du support, la face inférieure 23, de manière à obturer la seconde ouverture 211 de la cavité 21. Ce film adhésif a un pouvoir collant plus important que l'opercule amovible 40 car il est destiné à ne pas être retiré du support. Il constitue ainsi le fond du conditionnement. A l'opposé de la face adhésive du film adhésif 50, on peut prévoir une impression, notamment un motif décoratif, ou encore une inscription relative au produit contenu dans la cavité.An adhesive film 50 is bonded to the second face of the support, the lower face 23, so as to close the second opening 211 of the cavity 21. This film adhesive has greater stickiness than the removable cover 40 because it is intended not to be removed from the support. It thus constitutes the bottom of the conditioning. Opposite the adhesive face of the adhesive film 50, it is possible to provide a print, including a decorative motif, or an inscription relating to the product contained in the cavity.

    Le couvercle 30 a également deux faces planes 31 et 32 parallèles, une première face 31 étant destinée à venir reposer sur la face 22 du support. Le couvercle 30 présente également une faible épaisseur, de l'ordre d'environ 0,8 mm par exemple. La face 31 peut être recouverte d'une étiquette miroir 70.The cover 30 also has two parallel planar faces 31 and 32, one first face 31 being intended to come to rest on face 22 of the support. The cover 30 also has a small thickness, of the order of approximately 0.8 mm for example. The face 31 can be covered with a mirror label 70.

    Le couvercle 30 est articulé au support 20 au moyen du film adhésif 50 qui recouvre en partie la face 32 du couvercle sur laquelle il est collé de sorte qu'il constitue une charnière entre le support 20 et le couvercle 30. Le film 50 s'étend sur pratiquement toute la largeur du support et du couvercle de manière à correctement les maintenir solidaires l'un de l'autre. Cela permet en outre au couvercle et au support d'avoir un mouvement relatif de pivotement autour d'un axe parallèle au bord du support et du couvercle, sans dévier de cet axe.The cover 30 is articulated to the support 20 by means of the adhesive film 50 which partially covers the face 32 of the cover on which it is glued so that it constitutes a hinge between the support 20 and the cover 30. The film 50 extends across practically the entire width of the holder and cover so to properly hold them together. This also allows the cover and the support to have a relative pivoting movement around a axis parallel to the edge of the support and the cover, without deviating from this axis.

    On a représenté sur les figures 3A à 3F les différentes étapes pour réaliser le dispositif de conditionnement qui vient d'être décrit.FIGS. 3A to 3F show the different steps for carrying out the packaging device which has just been described.

    Dans un premier temps, on réalise par découpage une plaque d'un matériau thermoplastique, par exemple un chlorure de polyvinyle (PVC), un polypropylène ou un polyéthylène téréphtalate (PET), la plaque étant destinée à former le support 20 et le couvercle 30. Le support 20 et le couvercle 30 sont alors formés d'une seule pièce comme on l'a représenté à la figure 3A. La cavité 21 est formée simultanément par découpage. Une rainure 60 est également réalisée simultanément sur la plaque entre le support 20 et le couvercle 30.First, a plate of material is produced by cutting thermoplastic, for example polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene or polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the plate being intended for form the support 20 and the cover 30. The support 20 and the cover 30 are then formed in one piece as shown in Figure 3A. The cavity 21 is formed simultaneously by cutting. A groove 60 is also carried out simultaneously on the plate between the support 20 and the cover 30.

    Au lieu de réaliser la plaque telle qu'elle est représentée à la figure 3A par découpage, on peut alternativement l'obtenir par moulage d'un matériau thermoplastique.Instead of making the plate as shown in FIG. 3A by cutting, it can alternatively be obtained by molding a material thermoplastic.

    On obture ensuite de manière amovible la première ouverture 210 au moyen de l'opercule amovible 40 que l'on colle sur la face 22 du support 20 et on colle l'étiquette miroir 70 sur la face 32 du couvercle comme on l'a représenté à la figure 3B.The first opening 210 is then removably closed by means of the removable cover 40 which is glued to the face 22 of the support 20 and is glued the mirror label 70 on the face 32 of the cover as shown in the Figure 3B.

    On introduit ensuite le produit cosmétique 10 sous forme de poudre, par la seconde ouverture 211, dans la cavité 21 fermée dans la partie inférieure par l'opercule 40 (figure 3C). La poudre introduite est alors compactée de manière à former une pastille de produit qui est alors maintenue correctement dans le conditionnement. La quantité de produit introduite est de préférence juste suffisante pour remplir la cavité. Lorsqu'une quantité trop importante est introduite, on enlève l'excédent de produit par aspiration après le compactage. Selon une variante, on peut également couler un produit semi liquide ou visqueux dans la cavité.The cosmetic product 10 is then introduced in powder form, by the second opening 211, in the cavity 21 closed in the lower part by the cover 40 (FIG. 3C). The powder introduced is then compacted so as to form a pellet of product which is then properly maintained in the conditioning. The quantity of product introduced is preferably just sufficient to fill the cavity. When too much is introduced, the excess product is removed by aspiration after compaction. Alternatively, one can also pour a semi-liquid product or viscous in the cavity.

    On ferme la seconde ouverture 211 par le film adhésif 50 (figure 3D) en le pressant sur la face inférieure 23 du support à l'aide d'un rouleau presseur pour évacuer l'air et faire adhérer le film au produit. Ainsi, le film adhésif 50 forme le fond du conditionnement et participe à la tenue de la pastille dans la cavité.The second opening 211 is closed by the adhesive film 50 (FIG. 3D) by pressing on the underside 23 of the support using a pressure roller to evacuate the air and adhere the film to the product. Thus, the adhesive film 50 forms the bottom of the packaging and participates in the holding of the tablet in the cavity.

    Au moment de coller le film adhésif 50 sur la face 31 du couvercle, on plie la plaque le long de la rainure 60 (figure 3E) de manière à désolidariser le support 20 et le couvercle 30 qui sont aussitôt resolidarisés par le film adhésif 50 (figure 3F).When gluing the adhesive film 50 to the face 31 of the cover, the plate along the groove 60 (Figure 3E) so as to separate the support 20 and the cover 30 which are immediately re-attached by the adhesive film 50 (FIG. 3F).

    On obtient ainsi un conditionnement tel que celui représenté sur les figures 1 et 2 qui se présente sous la forme d'un boítier. Pour accéder au produit, l'utilisatrice soulève le couvercle 30 du support 20 puis retire l'opercule 40 qui a été fixé avant remplissage. L'utilisatrice a alors accès à la surface du produit qui correspondait au fond de la cavité lors du remplissage si bien que la surface visible est parfaitement régulière.This produces a packaging such as that shown in Figures 1 and 2 which is in the form of a housing. To access the product, the user lifts the cover 30 from the support 20 then removes the cover 40 which has been fixed before filling. The user then has access to the surface of the product which corresponded to the bottom of the cavity during filling so that the surface visible is perfectly regular.

    Sur les figures 4 et 5 on a représenté un deuxième mode de réalisation d'un dispositif de conditionnement selon l'invention qui diffère du premier en ce que le couvercle 30 est articulé au support 20 au moyen de l'étiquette adhésive formant miroir 70 et non pas du film adhésif 50. Selon ce mode de réalisation, l'étiquette formant miroir 70 recouvre en partie la face 22 du support sur laquelle elle est collée de sorte qu'elle constitue une charnière entre le support 20 et le couvercle 30. L'étiquette formant miroir 70 s'étend sur une largeur suffisante du support et du couvercle pour correctement les maintenir solidaires l'un de l'autre. Cela permet en outre au couvercle et au support d'avoir un mouvement relatif de pivotement autour d'un axe parallèle au bord du support et du couvercle, sans dévier de cet axe.Figures 4 and 5 show a second embodiment of a packaging device according to the invention which differs from the first in that the cover 30 is articulated to the support 20 by means of the adhesive label forming a mirror 70 and not of the adhesive film 50. According to this embodiment, the mirror label 70 partially covers the face 22 of the support on which it is glued so that it constitutes a hinge between the support 20 and the cover 30. The mirror label 70 extends over a sufficient width of the support and cover to properly hold them together the other. This also allows the cover and the support to have a movement relative pivot about an axis parallel to the edge of the support and cover, without deviating from this axis.

    On a représenté sur les figures 6A à 6E les différentes étapes pour réaliser le dispositif de conditionnement qui vient d'être décrit.FIGS. 6A to 6E show the different steps for carrying out the packaging device which has just been described.

    Dans un premier temps, on réalise par découpage une plaque d'un matériau thermoplastique, par exemple un chlorure de polyvinyle (PVC), un polypropylène ou un polyéthylène téréphtalate (PET), la plaque étant destinée à former le support 20 et le couvercle 30. Le support 20 et le couvercle 30 sont alors formés d'une seule pièce comme on l'a représenté à la figure 6A. La cavité 21 est formée simultanément par découpage. Une rainure 60 est également réalisée simultanément sur la plaque entre le support 20 et le couvercle 30.First, a plate of material is produced by cutting thermoplastic, for example polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene or polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the plate being intended for form the support 20 and the cover 30. The support 20 and the cover 30 are then formed in one piece as shown in Figure 6A. The cavity 21 is formed simultaneously by cutting. A groove 60 is also carried out simultaneously on the plate between the support 20 and the cover 30.

    Au lieu de réaliser la plaque telle qu'elle est représentée à la figure 6A par découpage, on peut alternativement l'obtenir par moulage d'un matériau thermoplastique.Instead of making the plate as shown in FIG. 6A by cutting, it can alternatively be obtained by molding a material thermoplastic.

    On obture ensuite de manière amovible la première ouverture 210 au moyen de l'opercule amovible 40 que l'on colle sur la face 22 du support 20 et on colle l'étiquette miroir 70 sur la face 31 du couvercle ainsi qu'en partie sur la face 22 du support 20, comme on l'a représenté à la figure 6B.The first opening 210 is then removably closed by means of the removable cover 40 which is glued to the face 22 of the support 20 and is glued the mirror label 70 on the face 31 of the cover as well as in part on the face 22 of the support 20, as shown in Figure 6B.

    On introduit ensuite le produit cosmétique 10 sous forme de poudre, par la seconde ouverture 211, dans la cavité 21 fermée dans la partie inférieure par l'opercule 40 (figure 6C). La poudre introduite est alors compactée de manière à former une pastille de produit qui est alors maintenue correctement dans le conditionnement. La quantité de produit introduite est de préférence juste suffisante pour remplir la cavité. Lorsqu'une quantité trop importante est introduite, on enlève l'excédent de produit par aspiration après le compactage. Selon une variante, on peut également couler un produit semi-liquide ou visqueux dans la cavité. The cosmetic product 10 is then introduced in powder form, by the second opening 211, in the cavity 21 closed in the lower part by the cover 40 (FIG. 6C). The powder introduced is then compacted so as to form a pellet of product which is then properly maintained in the conditioning. The quantity of product introduced is preferably just sufficient to fill the cavity. When too much is introduced, the excess product is removed by aspiration after compaction. Alternatively, a semi-liquid product can also be poured or viscous in the cavity.

    On ferme la seconde ouverture 211 par le film adhésif 50 (figure 6D) en le pressant sur la face inférieure 23 du support à l'aide d'un rouleau presseur pour évacuer l'air et faire adhérer le film au produit. Ainsi, le film adhésif 50 forme le fond du conditionnement et participe à la tenue de la pastille dans la cavité.The second opening 211 is closed by the adhesive film 50 (FIG. 6D) by pressing on the underside 23 of the support using a pressure roller to evacuate the air and adhere the film to the product. Thus, the adhesive film 50 forms the bottom of the packaging and participates in the holding of the tablet in the cavity.

    On plie ensuite la plaque le long de la rainure 60 (figure 6E) de manière à séparer le support 20 et le couvercle 30 qui restent toutefois solidaires par l'étiquette formant miroir 70.The plate is then folded along the groove 60 (FIG. 6E) so as to separate the support 20 and the cover 30 which however remain integral by the mirror label 70.

    On obtient ainsi un conditionnement tel que celui représenté à la figure 4 qui se présente sous la forme d'un boítier. Pour accéder au produit, l'utilisatrice soulève le couvercle 30 du support 20 puis retire l'opercule 40 qui a été fixé avant remplissage. L'utilisatrice a alors accès à la surface du produit qui correspondait au fond de la cavité lors du remplissage si bien que la surface visible est parfaitement régulière. Elle peut en outre se regarder dans le miroir pour aider à se maquiller.This produces a packaging such as that shown in Figure 4 which present in the form of a case. To access the product, the user lift the cover 30 of the support 20 then remove the cover 40 which has been fixed before filling. The user then has access to the surface of the product which corresponded to the bottom of the cavity during filling so that the surface visible is perfectly regular. She can also look at herself in the mirror to help make up.

    Dans la description détaillée qui précède, il a été fait référence à des modes de réalisation préférés de l'invention. Il est évident que des variantes peuvent y être apportées sans s'écarter de l'esprit de l'invention telle que revendiquée ci-après.In the foregoing detailed description, reference has been made to modes of preferred embodiments of the invention. It is obvious that there are variations be made without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed below.
