Definitions

  • the present invention relates to cosmetic product packages that include shock absorbing means.
  • the present invention is directed to compact cases with solid or semi-solid cosmetic products pressed or caste in a support pan. More particularly, the invention is directed to the means for isolating the product containing pan from external shock.
  • Compacts for solid or semi-solid cosmetic products generally comprise a base and a corresponding cover.
  • the base has at least one cavity dimensioned to receive the cosmetic.
  • a shallow plastic or metal pan containing the solid or semi-solid cosmetic product is secured in the cavity.
  • the solid or semi-solid cosmetic product may be, for example, a pressed or caste powder, a semi-solid paste, or a cake-like consistency.
  • the category of cosmetic may be, for example, a powder (e.g., blush), a skin foundation, an eye shadow, a lip cosmetic, etc.
  • the compact may be subjected shocks or impacts, for example, when the compact is accidentally dropped.
  • Some formulations of solid and semi-solid cosmetics provided in shallow trays are susceptible to cracking and/or crumbling when the cosmetic case is subjected to external shock, vibration or impact. This is particularly true for higher quality pressed powders manufactured with less compression to provide a softer 'feel' to the user and better product payoff onto the fingers or an applicator.
  • a cracked or crumbled cosmetic product is undesirable as it presents a negative impression to a consumer.
  • the cracked or crumbled cosmetic may negatively impact the performance of the product.
  • cracked or crumbled product may load unevenly onto an applicator (e.g., a brush or a pad). This in turn may lead to an undesirable and unattractive distribution of product on the user's skin.
  • Japanese publication No. 2006061189 discloses a cosmetic compact with a cosmetic tray detachably fixed in a recess by a collar such that the bottom wall of the tray and the bottom wall of the recess are separated by an air layer.
  • Japanese publication No. 2005304850 discloses a cosmetics container for storing, e.g., foundation and eye shadow.
  • the container includes inner plates that form cosmetic storage chambers.
  • the plates are selectively mounted at the bottom of the container by way of cushion members.
  • Japanese publication number 9-191928 discloses a shock absorbing and thin walled inner plate formed from a thin synthetic sheet.
  • a second inner plate (presumably non-shock absorbing) is laid in the shock absorbing inner plate.
  • the shock absorbing inner plate includes projections for coming in contact with the inner surface of the housing bottom.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,713,471 discloses a packaging unit including a supporting element with a cavity for receiving a pan containing cosmetic.
  • the pan is secured in the cavity by elastic holding means (e.g., an o-ring).
  • elastic holding means e.g., an o-ring
  • compressible means in the form of flexible foam or flexible spikes may be provided beneath the pan to compensate for play and/or protect against vibration.
  • Japanese publication No. 2002-177044 discloses a container body with clearance for receiving an inner tray for cosmetics.
  • Elastic arms provided in opposite sides of the clearance have protrusions to detachably engage recesses in the sides of the inner tray.
  • the elastic arms are said to provide properties against a shock to the inner tray.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 1,552,173 discloses a powder box in which resilient means are provided beneath a false bottom to press powder on the false bottom up through a perforated dispensing partition.
  • French patent number 2691339 discloses a compact with a pan supported on springs provided to eject the pan from the base to effect a change of pans.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 1,194,187 discloses a rouge box with a rouge holding pad yieldably held at the top of the box by a supporting spring such that when the box is opened the rouge is readily accessible at all times.
  • the rouge pad is snuggly received in the box. Accordingly, there does not appear to be a gap of sufficient dimension to provide for lateral movement of the pad in the box.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 2,054,004 discloses a vanity case for loose powder with springs that push a powder receptacle (a pan) upwardly such that an upper edge of the receptacle maintains contact with the underside of a cover when the case is closed, thus preventing leakage or spilling of the powder.
  • Japanese publication number 09-299138 discloses an inner tray for a cosmetic with protrusions formed on the outside.
  • the protrusions match a groove on the inside of the compact base.
  • the inner tray with the protrusions is said to give good shock resistance.
  • Japanese publication number 06-189821 discloses a cosmetic compact with a rubber gasket in an annular form between a lower lid and the cosmetic tray such that a space is formed between the lower lid and the cosmetic tray.
  • Publication JP 2004 166741 A discloses a shock absorbing device suitable for a cosmetic compact which comprises an inner plate and a sidewall with arcuate portions extending in a gap defined between said inner plate and said sidewall to connect said inner plate to said sidewall.
  • the present invention is directed to means for dampening shocks, impacts and vibration transmitted from the base of a cosmetic compact to a pan supported within the compact, as defined in claim 1.
  • Preferred features of the invention are set-out in the dependent claims.
  • the pan is adapted to contain solid or semi-solid cosmetic, e.g., a pressed powder, which is susceptible to damage in the form of cracking or crumbling, or in the worst case, release from the pan.
  • the shock absorbing means minimizes or eliminates damage to the cosmetic product caused by external shock, impact or vibration.
  • the pan is positioned in a clearance in the base large enough to provide for an air gap about the pan.
  • the shock absorbing means comprises at least two arcuate, resilient portions extending across the gap to connect the pan to the base. One arcuate portion is directed along a first axis, and the second arcuate member is directed along a second axis transverse to the first.
  • the arched portions are sufficiently resilient to allow the pan to move relative to the base to a degree that prevents shock, impact or vibration from being transmitted from the base to the pan.
  • the shock absorbing device comprises a space-saving planar configuration, i.e., a plate within a plate, inserted between the pan an the case of the compact.
  • An outer plate has a central clearance, and an inner plate is suspended in the central clearance such that a gap is defined between an outer edge of the inner plate and an inner edge of the outer plate.
  • the inner plate is suspended in the clearance by at least two arcuate members.
  • the outer plate is adapted to connect to one of the base or the pan, and the inner plate is adapted to connect to the other of the base or the pan.
  • shock absorbing means effectively prevent pressed powder cosmetics from fracturing.
  • the compact 2 has a cover 12 and a base 14.
  • a button 16 on the base is provided to release a catch 18 from hook 20.
  • the cover 12 is pivotable between a closed position ( FIG. 1 ) and an open position ( FIG. 2 ) by way of a hinge shown generally at 22.
  • the compact 2 comprises a pan 6 containing a solid or semi-solid cosmetic product P.
  • the pan 6 has a bottom wall 8 and a perimeter wall 10.
  • the base 14 has a clearance 24 dimensioned to receive the pan 6 such that a gap 28, 26 (see FIG.
  • the outer dimensions of the pan 6 are sufficiently less than the dimension of the clearance 24 to define at least one gap 28 or 26.
  • a shock absorbing member 30 is provided to connect the base to the pan.
  • the shock absorbing member 30 has a first arcuate portion 32 extending across the gap to connect the base to the pan.
  • a second arcuate portion 36 positioned along a second axis 38 transverse to the first axis, extends across the gap 26 at another location to connect the base to the pan.
  • a third arcuate portion 40 extends across the gap 26 to connect the base to the pan along the first axis 34 on a side of the pan 6 opposite from the first arcuate portion 32.
  • a fourth arcuate portion 42 extends across the gap 26 along the second axis 38 on an opposite side of the pan 6 from the second arcuate portion 36.
  • the arcuate portions 32, 36, 40, 42 each comprise the area referenced between the broken lines 31 in FIGS. 2 and 3 .
  • Each of the first, second, third, and fourth arcuate portions is sufficiently resilient to permit movement of the pan 6 relative to the base 14 within the clearance 26, thereby reducing transmission of shock or vibration from the base to the pan.
  • the arcuate portions 32, 36, 40, 42 work individually or in concert to dampen and minimize the transmission of shock and/or vibration from the base 14 to the pan 6, thus, substantially eliminating damage to the cosmetic product P in the form of cracking or crumbling.
  • arcuate portions While four arcuate portions are illustrated by the broken lines 31, it will be understood that the number of arcuate portions may vary from a minimum of two to any suitable number necessary to prevent damage to the contents of the pan.
  • at least two arcuate portions are provided, one directed along first axis 34 and another directed along second axis 38 transverse to the first axis. More preferably, as illustrated, a pair of arcuate portions, 32 and 40 is provided along axis 34, and a pair of arcuate portions 36 and 42 is provided along axis 38, each one of a pair on opposite sides of the pan 6.
  • the arcuate portions 32, 36, 40, 42 may form part of a continuous arcuate web 44, as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3 , that connects the perimeter wall 10 of the pan 6 to the edge of the clearance 24 in the base 14.
  • the arcuate portions may comprise individual portions or members space apart about the perimeter of the pan 6.
  • the individual portions or members may be separately formed, or may be formed by isolating parts from the rest of the web by slits (e.g., along the broken lines 31) or by removing portions of the continuous web between adjacent arcuate portions such that each arcuate portion is defined between openings in the web.
  • the latter arrangement may provide greater flexibility and shock absorbing capability, particularly in a compact containing a pan with relatively acute corners (e.g., a square, triangular or rectangular pan). It has been found that the continuous web arrangement works particularly well with pans that are substantially round or oval in plan view (as illustrated). For pans with acute corners (square, triangular or rectangular pans) the preferred arrangement has individual arcuate portions along each flat side of the pan (not shown), with clearances in the arched web at the acute corners of the pan.
  • each arcuate portion 32, 36, 40, 42 comprises at least one upwardly directed arch 45 (see FIG. 5 ).
  • each arcuate portion comprises at least one inverted arch 47, a wave 49, a Z curve 51 or S curve 53 configuration (see FIGS. 5A-5D ).
