Definitions

  • the invention is directed to an effect packaging for a cosmetic, in particular a mascara unit comprising a container for the cosmetic and a surrounding the container, transparent envelope, wherein the container and shell are at least partially spaced from each other.
  • Such packaging is especially made of plastic. Due to the transparent outer shell in conjunction with the inner container of the visual impression of a particularly thick-walled glass container is awakened, which seems to have different wall thicknesses according to a possibly different distance between inner container and outer shell, creating a high-quality visual impression.
  • the DE 74 33 846 U relates to a double-walled cosmetic unit with an inner sleeve for the cosmetic and an outer sleeve surrounding the inner sleeve, wherein both sleeves are at least partially spaced from each other and wherein at the bottom of the outer sleeve cooperating with the bottom of the inner sleeve centering device is provided.
  • the latter is configured such that a pin integrally formed on the bottom of the inner sleeve is inserted through a through-hole in the bottom of the outer sleeve and engages in the pushed-through state.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a packaging unit of the type mentioned, which is fast and inexpensive to produce and offers an attractive appearance in the finished state.
  • This object is achieved in that at the bottom of the outer shell cooperating with the bottom of the container centering is provided, and that container and outer shell by the interaction of a locking groove and a locking bead by an axial relative movement are locked into one another. By the axial movement and the centering device is brought into engagement.
  • At least one axial groove and an engaging projection in the groove are provided on the container or on the shell, which ensure a rotationally fixed connection.
  • the inventive design container and casing can each be separately produced inexpensively and manually or mechanically connected to create the packaging by a simple axial movement. Due to the automatic centering a well-defined distance between the shell and container is set and maintained permanently, so that even where a very small distance is provided, the inner wall of the shell is not applied to the outer wall of the container and, accordingly, the desired optical effect is not affected.
  • the centering device is formed by a pin on the inside of the bottom of the shell, which engages in a corresponding recess at the bottom of the container.
  • the pin is hollow and provided with longitudinal slots to produce a more durable, defined connection.
  • To facilitate the engagement of the pin in the recess of the pin may be formed tapered at the top or conically rounded.
  • the sheath is preferably in one piece. It can also be made of glass.
  • the air gap between the shell and container is preferably at least 0.1 mm.
  • the shell may have a wall thickness between 0.3 and 10 mm.
  • the container can be transparent or colored. It can be printed, embossed or metallized. The shell may also be metallized, at least in part.
  • the filling volume of the container can be between 1 and 30 ml.
  • the cosmetic packaging according to the invention is explained with reference to a mascara unit 1.
  • the inventive concept can be applied in the same way e.g. be used for lip or nail cosmetics or other products in which it depends on a high-quality appearance of the packaging.
  • the mascara unit 1 comprises an inner container 2 for mascara liquid and an outer casing 3, both made of plastic.
  • the outer shell 3 is transparent.
  • the container 2 may be transparent, but this is not absolutely necessary.
  • a neck 3 ' is formed with a tapered section and an external thread 4, onto which the internal thread 5 of a closure cap 6 can be screwed.
  • a stripping device 7 is used, which engages over the end face 8 of the neck 3' with a serving as a seal collar 9.
  • a handle 12 ' is inserted via an annular bead 10 on the inside of the screw cap 6 and a corresponding groove 11 of an applicator 12, at the free lower end of an applicator 13 is arranged, the unscrewing the cap 6 and pulling out by means of Stripping device 7 is stripped off.
  • Fig. 2 It can be seen that at the bottom 14 of the container 3 is integrally arranged with this a pin 15 which has an upwardly open cavity 16, which allows in conjunction with slots not shown an elastic yielding.
  • the upper end 17 of the pin 15 is conical.
  • the container 2 and the casing 3 are produced independently of each other. It is then the container 2 is inserted in the axial direction from above into the shell 3 until the centering device engages in the form of the pin 15 in the recess 19, so that a centering of the container 2 is given relative to the shell 3, wherein at the same time lateral projections 20th engage in the slot-like recesses 21 and make the connection rotationally fixed, and further wherein the projections 23 engage in the recesses 22 and thereby allow an axial fixing.
