Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closure element for cosmetic product containers or vessels and the like
  • the main product container is conventionally associated with a further container, of small size: however, such an arrangement generates a lot of packaging and dispensing problems .
  • the aim of the present invention is to solve the ⁇ above mentioned problem.
  • the invention provides a closure device which has a double function, thereby allowing moreover to solve all the problems related to the supplying and delivering of the so-called “samples”.
  • a main object of the present invention is to provide such a closure element which is coupled, in a conventional manner, to the main container, and which, moreover, provides a further useful function.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a closure element which, owing to its specifically designed construction, is very reliable and safe in operation.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a closure element for cosmetic products and the like, which is very competitive from a mere economic standpoint.
  • a closure element for containers of cosmetic products and the like characterized in that said closure element comprises a body defining a plug portion which can be applied, in a closure relationship, to the mouth of a container, and being provided with a central recessed portion defining an auxiliary container, a closure cover for said recessed portion being moreover provided.
  • Figure 1 illustrates, by an exploded perspective view, the closure element according to the present invention, with respect to a container;
  • Figure 2 is a further perspective view illustrating the closure element applied to a container, and in an open position thereof;
  • Figure 3 illustrates the closure element, in a closed position thereof, applied to a container
  • Figure 4 is a schematic perspective view illustrating the closure element, in an open position thereof.
  • Figure 5 is a further partially open and partially broken away perspective view illustrating the closure element according to the present invention .
  • the closure element for containers of cosmetic products and the like which has been generally indicated by the reference number 1, comprises a container body 2, defining a plug portion, which is practically constituted by an outer mantle or shell, engaged with the mouth 3 of a container or vessel 4.
  • the coupling of the body 2 and mouth 3 is performed through a female thread 5, formed on the inner face of the body 2, engaged with a male thread 6 defined on the container mouth 3.
  • a main feature of the present invention is that the plug body 2 is provided with a central recessed portion 10, forming a small-size auxiliary container which, practically, is arranged inside the container mouth 3, and completes the plug body.
  • a closure cover 11 coupled though a foot element 12, operating as a hinge element, which can be snap engaged on the enlarged edge or rim 13 encompassing the recessed portion 10 and which can be engaged by a counter- tooth element 14 formed on the closure cover 11.
  • the above disclosed device provides a closure element, which is apparently constituted by a conventional plug coupled on the mouth of the main container and which moreover includes an auxiliary container, which is substantially defined in the bottom of the plug element.
  • the used materials though the best results have been achieved by using plastic materials, and the contingent size and shapes, can be any, according to requirements .
