Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a packaging device and of disengageable application, this device allowing in particular the conditioning disintegrable solid or semi-solid cosmetic products, such as grapes lipstick or breads with deodorant compositions.
  • packaging devices comprising a cup in which is presented a disintegrating product, such as this cup has means extending radially from its outer lateral periphery to cooperate with a longitudinal groove provided in a first element tubular.
  • the device comprises a second tubular element arranged relatively to the first tubular element, so that the rotation of the first element tubular relative to the second tubular element drives the cup in translation inside the first tube, and in rotation inside the second tube, and thus allows access to the product contained in the cup.
  • This relative rotational movement is performed while maintaining the respective positions of these two tubular elements relative to a corresponding longitudinal axis to a main elongation axis of these same tubular elements.
  • the cup is integral in rotation with the first element. tubular due to the engagement of the protruding means in the groove longitudinal. And these same growing means are also engaged in a helical groove provided on the inner periphery of the second tubular element.
  • the second tubular element is mounted around the first element tubular.
  • the first tubular element being located inside, it comprises a tubular portion projecting from the second tubular member to provide a zone grip allowing a user to grasp the outer periphery of the second tubular element to drive it in rotation relative to this area of gripping.
  • the means protruding when the means protruding is disengaged from the groove, the relative rotation of the elements tubular no longer cause any displacement of the cup.
  • the mechanism is disengaged.
  • the protruding means are necessarily rigid elements to support this drive in rotation and translation. If they are disengaged from their groove, they then irreversibly deform the inner edges of the tubular elements, and in particular the inner edge of the second tubular element having the helical groove.
  • a device comprises a base provided with a periphery interior with a spiral groove, corresponding to the second element tubular, and a cup provided with an elevator rod comprising at least one lug flexible cooperating with the spiral of the base. Furthermore, the device comprises a chimney, corresponding to the first tubular element, and authorizing a axial translational movement of the cup inside this chimney, the made of a cooperation between the rod and an inner circumference of the chimney for make it integral in rotation.
  • the chimney is mounted above of the base, and their position relative to a longitudinal axis are maintained even when they are rotated one relative to the other.
  • the cup includes in particular a cup for receiving the product, and the stem is erected perpendicular to an outer periphery of a bottom of this cup, also called bottom of the cup.
  • the stem is erected at a center of this background, and in a direction opposite to that that the product is presented.
  • the lug is also able to reengage in the helical groove after getting out.
  • the means transversely obstructs the chimney, leaving the space of an orifice to tolerate sliding of the rod through this orifice.
  • the rod has a cross section complementary to the inside periphery of this orifice to be integral in rotation with the chimney. he there is nevertheless a clearance between the outer periphery of the rod and this orifice for allow unrestricted translation of the rod through the orifice.
  • a cross section at the lug is greater than the inside periphery of the orifice.
  • the means is molded in one piece with the chimney, and forms for example gadroons on the inner periphery of the chimney to delimit this orifice.
  • a length of the rod is preferably chosen, defined between the lug and the bottom of the bucket, which is substantially equal to a height of the chimney, this height being defined between the means and an opening of distribution of the chimney making the product accessible for an application topical.
  • this length of the rod is substantially equal to one wall height grooved along the axis of the propeller, i.e. the height inside from the base along which the helix coil is formed.
  • the chimney is mounted on the base so that the means of the chimney is supported on a song of the base defining an access to the threaded wall.
  • the pins of the rod are made relative to the rod of such so that a breakout force to be applied to the rod to make the pins pass through through the hole cannot be obtained manually. So at the end of stroke, in a high position of the cup inside the chimney, if we continues to involve a rotation of the chimney relative to the base, the lug does not being able to continue its race by crossing the orifice, this being flexible ends up disengage from the helical groove of the base.
  • only the pin on the stem cooperates with the threaded wall.
  • the chimney has a means for being fixed in translation but free in rotation relative to the base.
  • the chimney has on one wall inner, a circular section bead to cooperate with a groove provided on an outer periphery of the base.
  • the lug is presented on a flexible tab relative to the rod, this flexible tongue being retained at a free end of the rod opposite the bottom of the bucket.
  • this flexible tongue extends according to a rod elongation axis, and has a boss projecting radially of the tongue orthogonally to this axis of elongation of the rod.
  • the rod is of square cross section, and it has four flexible tabs each provided with a lug arranged regularly at its periphery, each lug forming a bulge in the axis of one of the facets of the stem.
  • the base has respectively four helical grooves to each receive one of the pins.
  • the lug has a variable thickness, according to a section longitudinal, along the axis of elongation of the rod, this thickness tapering near a terminal end of the lug, and tapering also close to the junction point between the flexible tab which supports and the rod to which it is attached.
  • a helical groove has a bottom framed by two flanges to receive the lug, an angle formed between a first flange and the bottom is different from an angle formed between the second edge and this same bottom.
  • the device comprises a cover capable of being retained on the base, and allowing to close the distribution opening of the chimney making thus the product inaccessible.
  • the hood then completely covers the chimney and is retained on the base, thus preventing rotation of the chimney relative to the base when the cover is fitted. This arrangement avoids overwriting the product contained in the cup at the bottom of the cover.
  • the base is a tube open right through and provided with a bottom cover blocking an opening opposite the opening at which the helical groove opens.
  • the invention is in particular of interest for carrying out devices comprising lipstick grapes having an outside diameter of around 8 millimeters.
  • the elements which compose it are obtained by molding from materials thermoplastics, such as acrylic, or cellulosic materials, or styrenic, or vinyl, or such as poly carbonates, polyamides, polyolefins, polyethylene terephthalate, and all mixtures in proportions variables of these materials, expanded or not.

  • Figure 1a shows a device 1 for packaging and applying a product 2.
  • Product 2 is preferably a breakable product, in particular a cosmetic or personal hygiene product.
  • Product 2 comes in the occurrence in the form of a grape oblong and truncated for a application as lipstick.
  • the device 1 comprises a cup 3 in which the product 2 is placed.
  • the cup 3 comprises a cup 4 provided with a housing 5 for retaining therein product 2 stably.
  • the housing is for example of cylindrical shape and equipped with gadroons on its inner periphery to promote the holding of the grape product 2.
  • the cup 3 is also provided with a rod 6 erected perpendicularly to a bottom 7 of the bucket 4.
  • This rod 6 comprises in particular a lug 8 intended to cooperate with a groove 9 provided on an inner wall 10 of a base 11 hollowed out to receive at least partially the rod 6. Indeed, the displacement of the lug 8 in the groove 9 allows a more or less deep depression of the rod 6 in base 11.
  • the groove 9 is in the form of a spiral.
  • This spiral begins at an inlet 12 of the hollow base 11.
  • the wall interior 10 defines an obviously cylindrical shape extending along an axis 13.
  • the rod 6 is inserted parallel to this axis 13 in the base 11.
  • the lug 8 protrudes radially from the rod 6 to come to cooperate with this groove 9.
  • the spiral formed by the groove has a height 14 along the axis 13 at least equal to a length 15 of the defined rod 6, along this same axis 13, between the bottom 7 and lug 8.
  • the rod 6 has a free end 16 at which the flexible lug 8 extends.
  • the lug 8 is notably flexible relative to an axis of the rod 6.
  • the base 11 defines a edge 17 against which the bottom 7 abuts.
  • the cup 3 follows an ascending or descending movement of the elevator along the axis 13 relative to the base 11.
  • the bucket 4 abuts against the edge 17, the cup 3 is in the low position relative to the base 11.
  • the device 1 To guide the movement of the cup 3 along the axis 13, the device 1 has a chimney 18 mounted on the base 11, above the inlet 12. Bucket 4 can move from the low position to a high position in this chimney 18.
  • the high position corresponds to a position of the cup 3 such that the cup is near a dispensing opening 19 from which the product 2 protrudes from this opening 19 to be applied to a surface.
  • the opening 19 is for example beveled.
  • the chimney 18 is mounted fixed in translation relative to the base 11, but free to rotate around the axis 13 relative to this base 11.
  • the chimney 18 has a bead 22 of semi-cylindrical cross section to engage by clipping into a groove 23 formed on the periphery outside 24 of base 11.
  • the means 20 is for example in the form of a protuberance extending radially from the inner periphery of the chimney 18. This means 20 is said to be intermediate insofar as it is present at a distance from the opening distribution 19.
  • This means 20 defines an orifice 25 in which the rod 4 is free in translation along the axis 13.
  • the orifice 25 defines an opening of inner rim slightly higher than the outer rim of a section transverse of the rod 6.
  • FIG. 1b shows the device 1 of FIG. 1a in the assembled position, with the cup 3 in the low position relative to the chimney 18.
  • the device 1 comprises a cover 26 mounted around the chimney 18 so as to mask the distribution opening 19. This cover 26 is preferably retained on the periphery exterior 24 so as to prevent unwanted rotation of the chimney 18 relative to base 11.
  • the cup 3 is integral in rotation with the chimney 18.
  • this solidarity is obtained by the cooperation between the inner periphery of the orifice 25 which is of a shape complementary to the outer periphery of a section transverse of the rod 6.
  • the section of the rod 6 is polygonal, and the inner periphery of the orifice 25 is also polygonal.
  • the rod 6 has a cross section, namely orthogonally to axis 13, square.
  • the orifice 25 defines a square space of dimension slightly greater than that of the rod 6 for allow sliding without friction.
  • the cup 3 comprises four pins such as 8 to cooperate respectively with four grooves such that 9.
  • These four pins are arranged in the extension of each of the faces of the rod which is of square section. They each protrude radially from the outer periphery relative to a main elongation axis 27 of the rod 6. This main elongation axis 27 is superimposed with the axis 13 in the position assembly, as shown in Figure 1b.
  • the lugs are preferably presented on flexible tabs such that 28 at the end 16 of the rod 6.
  • a flexible tongue 28 is attached to one end 29 'of the rod 6. This attachment is mainly made in the extension of one face of the rod 6.
  • a thickness 30 of the tongue in a view in longitudinal section parallel to the elongation axis 27, is reduced relative to a thickness 31 of a portion of the tongue 28 having a bulge 32 intended to form the lug 8 cooperating with the groove 9.
  • This thickness 31 also decreases near a terminal end 29 "from the lug.
  • the connecting end 29 and the terminal end 29" frame the bulge 32.
  • the tongue 28 can form a variable angle ⁇ relative to the axis 27.
  • This angle ⁇ is defined between an outer periphery connecting the bulge 32 to the point of attachment 29 ′, with the axis 27.
  • This angle ⁇ is obtuse. It can for example vary between 90 ° and 120 °, while keeping its elasticity, depending on the stress which is exerted on the flexible tongue 28.
  • the tongue flexible such that 28, shown on the right of the rod 6, is under stress.
  • the lug 8 does not cannot pass through the orifice 25 of the intermediate means 20. So, when the cup 3 is in the high position, and that the bulge 32 abuts against a flange lower of the orifice 25, then if we continue to rotate the chimney 18 relative to the base 11, the flexible tongue 28 is constrained in withdrawal and ends by leaving the groove 9. There is therefore a disengageable system.
  • the lug 8 cannot pass through the orifice 25 under the effect of a constraint manual. Indeed, the orifice 25 although of inner circumference higher than that of the outer periphery of a section of the rod 6, this orifice 25 has a circumference interior lower than the outer periphery defined by a cross section at level of the lug 8.
  • the lug 8 is presented on a flexible tongue 28, but even by compressing this tongue 28 as much as possible towards the axis 13, the cross-section transverse at the pin 8 remains greater than the section defined by the inner periphery of the orifice 25.
  • the lug 8 is in this position maintained in permanence under this means 20, which definitively prevents disengagement of the cup 3 relative to the base 11 and or to the chimney 18.
  • the intermediate means 20 is formed by several gadroons 33 projecting radially towards the inside of the chimney 18. These gadroons such as 33 delimit slots such as 34 joining the central opening 25. The presence of these slots 34 added to the flexibility of the tabs 28, allows the cup 3 to be inserted into the chimney 18 from the distribution opening 19, and to obtain the crossing of the lug 8 through the means 20.
  • the assembly is carried out on a machine in applying a force greater than an average manual force.
  • the entry 38 of the groove 9 on the side opposite the opening 12 also allows to disengage and re-engage the lug 8 of this same groove 9.
