Description

DOMAINE DE L'INVENTIONFIELD OF THE INVENTION

L'invention concerne le domaine des conditionnements de produits cosmétiques, et typiquement celui des boítiers de poudres pour les soins du visage.The invention relates to the field of packaging of cosmetic products, and typically that of powder boxes for facials.

ETAT DE LA TECHNIQUESTATE OF THE ART

De manière générale, les boítiers comprennent typiquement :

  • un couvercle en creux muni généralement d'un miroir intérieur,
  • un fond en creux, typiquement muni d'une grille ou support intermédiaire d'au moins un godet destiné à recevoir ledit produit cosmétique,
  • une charnière, constituant l'organe de liaison entre ledit couvercle et ledit fond, permettant l'articulation dudit couvercle et l'ouverture dudit boítier,
  • un fermoir ou tout moyen de verrouillage et déverrouillage dudit couvercle par rapport audit fond, de manière à assurer l'ouverture et la fermeture dudit boítier, un fermoir étant typiquement à bouton poussoir. Ce fermoir, localisé à l'opposé de la charnière du boítier, est formé habituellement par la coopération d'un élément de fermoir du couvercle avec un élément de fermoir du fond ou de la grille solidaire du fond, de manière à garantir que le boítier restera fermé hormis le cas d'ouverture intentionnelle.
In general, the housings typically include:
  • a recessed lid generally provided with an internal mirror,
  • a bottom recessed, typically provided with a grid or intermediate support of at least one bucket for receiving said cosmetic product,
  • a hinge, constituting the connecting member between said cover and said bottom, allowing the articulation of said cover and the opening of said housing,
  • a clasp or any means for locking and unlocking said cover relative to said bottom, so as to ensure the opening and closing of said housing, a clasp being typically push button. This clasp, located opposite the housing hinge, is usually formed by the cooperation of a closure element of the lid with a clasp element of the bottom or grid secured to the bottom, so as to ensure that the housing will remain closed except for the case of intentional opening.

On connaít de très nombreuses modalités de boítiers, modalités qui peuvent porter sur un ou plusieurs des constituants du boítier, notamment sur le fermoir ou sur l'ouverture du boítier.We know very many modalities of enclosures, modalities that can relate to one or more of the components of the housing, in particular on the clasp or on the opening housing.

Ainsi, en ce qui concerne les brevets au nom de la demanderesse, on peut citer :

  • le brevet FR 2 661 080 qui décrit un boítier de maquillage à fermoir de faible encombrement,
  • le brevet FR 2 725 958 qui concerne un boítier à fermeture jointive à assistance à l'ouverture,
  • le brevet FR 2 737 192 qui décrit un boítier à couvercle pivotant pourvu d'une articulation à pattes souples,
  • le brevet FR 2 755 352 qui décrit un boítier à ouverture assistée,
  • le brevet FR 2 755 353 qui décrit un boítier à poussoir de déverrouillage et pré-ouverture,
  • et le brevet FR2 794 723 qui décrit un boítier à pré-ouverture améliorée.
Thus, with regard to the patents on behalf of the plaintiff, mention may be made of:
  • patent FR 2 661 080 which discloses a make-up case with clasp of small size,
  • the patent FR 2,725,958 which relates to a housing with contiguous closure assistance at the opening,
  • patent FR 2 737 192 which describes a housing with pivoting lid provided with a hinge with flexible legs,
  • patent FR 2 755 352 which describes a housing with assisted opening,
  • patent FR 2 755 353 which describes a housing with unlocking pushbutton and pre-opening,
  • and patent FR 2 794 723 which describes an improved pre-opening housing.

PROBLEMES POSESPROBLEMS POSED

D'une part, le fermoir d'un boítier nécessite souvent un ensemble de pièces relativement coûteux à produire et à assembler.
D'autre part, le fermoir d'un boítier est le plus souvent visible, notamment après ouverture du boítier, ce qui le plus souvent non seulement ne contribue pas à l'esthétique du boítier, mais au contraire nuit à l'esthétique du boítier lui-même en particulier quand il est ouvert.
Par ailleurs, dans de nombreux cas, l'ouverture et la fermeture manuelle du boítier est sinon bruyante, du moins peu discrète.
En outre, les fermoirs connus mettent en jeu un effort manuel d'ouverture prédéterminé pour un type de fermoir donné, ce qui rend difficile toute adaptation ou modulation de l'effort d'ouverture aux habitudes ou aux exigences des personnes utilisatrices, habitudes ou exigences qui peuvent varier d'un pays ou d'un continent à l'autre.
De plus, compte tenu de la diversité des boítiers, il est également recherché, car très avantageux, un fermoir qui soit utilisable sur un grand nombre de boítiers différents sans avoir à remettre en cause la conception de chaque boítier, en particulier.
Enfin, un autre problème est d'offrir des boítiers qui se distinguent des boítiers de l'état de la technique, outre par leur aspect, leur "main" ou leur "toucher", c'est-à-dire de la perception tactile de l'effort manuel d'ouverture du boítier. On the one hand, the clasp of a housing often requires a set of relatively expensive parts to produce and assemble.
On the other hand, the clasp of a housing is most often visible, especially after opening the housing, which often not only does not contribute to the aesthetics of the housing, but on the contrary to the aesthetics of the housing himself especially when he is open.
Moreover, in many cases, the manual opening and closing of the housing is otherwise noisy, at least unobtrusive.
In addition, the known clasps involve a predetermined manual opening effort for a given type of clasp, which makes it difficult to adapt or modulate the opening effort to the habits or requirements of the user, habits or requirements. which may vary from one country or continent to another.
In addition, given the diversity of housings, it is also sought after, because very advantageous, a clasp that can be used on a large number of different housings without having to question the design of each housing, in particular.
Finally, another problem is to offer housings that are distinguished from the housings of the state of the art, in addition to their appearance, their "hand" or their "touch", that is to say, the tactile perception the manual effort of opening the housing.

DESCRIPTION DE L'INVENTIONDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Selon l'invention, le boítier destiné à contenir un produit cosmétique, typiquement une poudre de maquillage sous forme de bloc de poudre agglomérée, comprend un couvercle, typiquement doté d'un miroir, muni d'une première portion de charnière, un fond en creux comprenant typiquement un godet destiné à recevoir lesdits produits cosmétiques, ledit fond étant muni d'une seconde portion de charnière, une charnière formée par coopération desdites première et seconde portions de charnière, une fermeture magnétique par coopération d'un aimant supérieur solidaire du couvercle avec, en regard, un aimant inférieur solidaire dudit fond, et éventuellement un applicateur dudit produit cosmétique, et est caractérisée en ce que :

  • a) ledit couvercle comprend une paroi dite supérieure formant tout ou partie d'un moyen de fixation dudit aimant supérieur audit couvercle, ladite paroi supérieure étant située typiquement au-dessous dudit aimant supérieur, de manière à rendre invisible ledit aimant supérieur même quand ledit boítier est ouvert,
  • b) ledit fond comprend une paroi dite inférieure formant tout ou partie dudit moyen de fixation dudit aimant inférieur audit fond, ladite paroi inférieure étant située typiquement au-dessus dudit aimant inférieur, de manière à rendre invisible ledit aimant inférieur même quand ledit boítier est ouvert,
  • c) lesdits aimants présentent une distance axiale D, quand ledit boítier est fermé, choisie de manière à pouvoir obtenir simultanément une force d'ouverture prédéterminée, comprise typiquement entre 1,6 N et 2,6 N, et une ouverture et fermeture manuelle du boítier à la fois peu bruyante, voire silencieuse, donnant une impression de douceur.
    • According to the invention, the housing intended to contain a cosmetic product, typically a makeup powder in the form of an agglomerated block of powder, comprises a lid, typically provided with a mirror, provided with a first hinge portion, a bottom hollow typically comprising a cup for receiving said cosmetic products, said bottom being provided with a second hinge portion, a hinge formed by cooperation of said first and second hinge portions, a magnetic closure by cooperation of an upper magnet secured to the lid with, opposite, a lower magnet integral with said bottom, and optionally an applicator of said cosmetic product, and is characterized in that:
  • a) said cover comprises a so-called upper wall forming all or part of a fixing means of said upper magnet to said cover, said upper wall being located typically below said upper magnet, so as to make said upper magnet invisible even when said housing is open,
  • b) said bottom comprises a so-called lower wall forming all or part of said fixing means of said lower magnet to said bottom, said bottom wall being located typically above said lower magnet, so as to make said lower magnet invisible even when said housing is open ,
  • c) said magnets have an axial distance D, when said housing is closed, chosen so as to simultaneously obtain a predetermined opening force, typically between 1.6 N and 2.6 N, and a manual opening and closing of case both noisy, even silent, giving an impression of sweetness.

    • Un tel boítier répond à la plupart, sinon à la totalité, des problèmes posés.
    En effet, la plupart des boítiers étant formés de pièces moulées en matière thermoplastique, la demanderesse a observé qu'il était possible soit d'insérer des aimants, soit de prévoir des logements pour insérer des aimants, afin que ces aimants soient masqués à la vue, et qu'ils soient à une distance prédéterminée quand le boítier est fermé afin d'avoir un effort manuel d'ouverture prédéterminé.     Such a housing responds to most, if not all, of the problems posed.
    Indeed, most enclosures being formed of molded parts of thermoplastic material, the Applicant has observed that it was possible either to insert magnets, or to provide housing for inserting magnets, so that these magnets are masked at the view, and that they are at a predetermined distance when the housing is closed in order to have a predetermined manual opening force.

    Par ailleurs, la demanderesse a observé que ce type de fermoir présentait d'autres avantages, notamment par son faible niveau sonore lors de l'ouverture ou la fermeture du boítier, sans doute parce que dépourvu de toute pièce mobile ou à retour élastique, typiquement un crochet, susceptible de faire un bruit sec, le seul contact ou le contact principal pouvant être celui des parois supérieure et inférieure, qui forment des surfaces planes typiquement horizontales.Moreover, the applicant has observed that this type of clasp has other advantages, especially its low sound level when opening or closing housing, probably because devoid of any moving part or elastic return, typically a hook, likely to make a dry noise, the only contact or contact which may be the upper and lower walls, which form typically horizontal planes.
