Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for packaging and dispensing stacked products, especially cosmetic products on a support.
  • Certain cosmetic active ingredients can be presented to the user in thin sheets, intended for example to be impregnated with a liquid or to dissolve in a liquid.
  • Packaging such sheets in a conventional box, having a lid that can be lifted or removed, is not very satisfactory.
  • the US Patent 2,360,162 discloses a chewing gum tablet dispenser having a tray for extracting the tablets one by one. The stack of tablets rests permanently on this plate, a spring being provided on a lid to lower the battery against the plate.
  • the US Patent 2,973,882 discloses another chewing gum tablet dispenser having a slider for pushing through a slot the topmost shelf of the stack.
  • European patent EP 0 319 046 discloses a distributor of business cards, a neighboring operation.
  • Requirement US 2003/0106900 discloses a sheet dispenser of a product, having an upper portion movable relative to a lower portion containing the stacked sheets.
  • the upper part comprises a deformable portion on which the user can press while moving the upper part to drive a sheet towards the exit.
  • the deformable portion may come into contact with the stack of sheets regardless of the position of the upper part relative to the lower part.
  • the first part in particular the housing cover, comprises a drive member configured firstly to be applied to the stack of products when the second part, in particular the drawer, is moved to the retracted position and secondly cause a product to contact relative to the rest of the stack, to allow its gripping by the user.
  • the second part, in particular the drawer, the slide and the drive member are also configured so as to prevent the drive member from being applied to the product stack for at least part of the path of the second part. from the retracted position to the extended position, the slider being configured to move the drive member away from the product stack for at least a portion of the path of the second portion from the retracted position to the extended position.
  • Such a device makes it possible to distribute one by one the products, by a simple gesture exerted on the second part and consisting in making it make a movement of return and return relative to the first part, at each distribution cycle.
  • the invention also makes it possible to avoid an unexpected exit of the products before their use and guarantees a hygienic packaging.
  • Such a device can also be manufactured at a relatively low cost, compatible with large-scale diffusion, in particular by realizing the second part. in two articulated parts connected by a film hinge, by plastic molding, as will be explained below.
  • the drive member may include an elastically deformable tab configured to allow the drive member to exert a contact pressure on the product stack sufficient to drive the product from the top of the stack.
  • This tab can be made by molding plastic material in one piece with the first part.
  • the device may be devoid of a deformable portion on its upper face, on which the user would have to press to drive a product to the output position.
  • the second part in particular the drawer, may include an aperture through which the drive member extends when in contact with the battery.
  • the second part and the drive member may be arranged in such a way that the driving member engages or begins to engage the slideway when the second part has fully reached its retracted position. Thus, in this complete retracted position, the drive member may no longer be in contact with the product stack.
  • the second part comprises two rails respectively associated with two opposite sides of the second part.
  • the driving member may comprise protuberances configured so as to rest on the slideways during at least part of the path of the second part from the retracted position to the extended position, at the beginning of a new dispensing cycle, in particular protuberances made in one piece by molding plastic material with the drive member.
  • the second part may for example be made with a frame having opposite branches each carrying one of said slides.
  • the second part may comprise at least one slide having an end portion with which the drive member comes into contact when the second portion is in the process of moving from the extended position to the retracted position for dispensing a product.
  • the second part may comprise a wall arranged to force the drive member to cross the end portion of the slide when the second portion is brought into the fully closed position, so that the drive member then rests on the slide when the second part is again moved to its output position, during the next dispensing cycle.
  • the shortest distance between a slide and said wall may be less than the distance between a surface of the drive member which bears on said wall and a surface of the drive member which is supported on the slide when the drive member rests on it without contact with the stack of products.
  • the front end portion of the slides may thinner forward, which may facilitate its crossing by the drive member.
  • the front end portion of the slides can also be free, which facilitates its crossing by the drive member.
  • the second part may comprise a ramp, which may be constituted in particular by the aforementioned wall, against which the drive member bears when the second part has been moved from the extended position to the retracted position to distribute a product and that the second part is close to the retracted position.
  • the ramp can define with a return down a recess for gripping the second part by a user to drive between its in and out positions.
  • the second part can be made with two articulated parts connected by a hinge, in particular a hinge film.
  • the second part can be made with another ramp, at the rear, arranged to shift the stack of products at a slant towards the front when one of the articulated parts is folded over the other, before the assembly of the second part with the first.
  • the first part of the housing in particular the lid, can be arranged to allow the two articulated parts above to form an open angle forward, when the second part is in the extended position. Such an angle can facilitate the passage of the product being dispensed.
  • the second portion may include a boss on its upper front edge, which can force the two articulated parts to rest against each other when the second portion is in the retracted position.
  • the second part may be made with a lower wall having on a lower face a first relief defining, with a second corresponding relief of the first part, a limit stop of the second part when the latter is in the extended position.
  • the subject of the invention is also a method of dispensing products contained in a movable drawer relative to a lid and comprising at least one slideway, the products forming a stack in the drawer, the cover having a drive member configured to engage the product stack when the drawer is moved to the retracted position and drive a product in contact therewith relative to the remainder of the stack for user gripping thereof , the drawer, the slide and the drive member being also configured to prevent the driver from being applied to the product stack for at least a portion of the drawer path from the retracted position to the position exit.
