Embodiments of the present invention will be set forth in the following with reference to, but not limited to, the accompanying figures in which:
- les figures IA, IB représentent respectivement par une vue éclatée et une vue en perspective un premier exemple de réalisation d'un dispositif décoratif selon 1 ' invention,FIGS. 1A, 1B show respectively an exploded view and a perspective view of a first exemplary embodiment of a decorative device according to the invention,

Dans ce gui suit seront décrits deux aspects de l'invention. Un dispositif décoratif selon le premier aspect de l'invention comprend un objet réfléchissant ayant plusieurs faces réfléchissantes ou une face réfléchissante non plane présentant divers axes de réflexion, permettant de rétroéclairer des éléments se trouvant dans des plans différents. On réalise ainsi un dispositif rétroéclairé tridimensionnel et non un dispositif ayant des zones rétroéclairées coplanaires, comme décrit par WO 2004/015658.In this following will be described two aspects of the invention. A decorative device according to the first aspect of the invention comprises a reflective object having a plurality of reflective faces or a non-planar reflective face having various reflection axes for backlit elements in different planes. This produces a three-dimensional backlit device and not a device having coplanar backlit zones, as described by WO 2004/015658.
De façon simple mais non moins inventive, le second aspect de l'invention prévoit l'application à une bouteille ou à un bouchon de bouteille d'un dispositif du type décrit par WO 2004/015658. Ainsi, une bouteille ou un bouchon selon l ' invention présente une paroi rétroéclairée. Cet aspect de l'invention peut être mis en œuvre en combinaison avec le premier aspect de l'invention ou indépendamment de celui-ci.In a simple but no less creative way, the second aspect of the invention provides the application to a bottle or a bottle cap of a device of the type described by WO 2004/015658. Thus, a bottle or a cap according to the invention has a backlit wall. This aspect of the invention can be implemented in combination with the first aspect of the invention or independently thereof.
Un premier exemple de réalisation d'un dispositif DDl selon l ' invention est représenté par une vue éclatée sur la figure IA et une vue en perspective sur la figure IB, certains éléments étant représentés par transparence. Le dispositif DDl comprend une boite de forme parallélépipédique ayant quatre parois latérales 10, un couvercle transparent 11 et un fond 12. Chaque paroi 10 est d'un aspect opaque et certaines parois, de préférence les quatre, comportent des zones transparentes Tl formant tout ou partie d'un élément décoratif, d'un logo, d'une marque ou de tout autre signe distinctif. On distingue ici sur chaque paroi une zone formant un "1", une zone formant un "o", une zone formant un "g" et une zone formant un "o", l'ensemble formant le mot "logo".A first embodiment of a device DD1 according to the invention is represented by an exploded view in FIG. 1A and a perspective view in FIG. 1B, some elements being represented by transparency. The device DD1 comprises a parallelepiped shaped box having four side walls 10, a transparent cover 11 and a bottom 12. Each wall 10 has an opaque appearance and some walls, preferably the four comprise transparent zones T1 forming all or part of a decorative element, a logo, a mark or any other distinctive sign. Here we distinguish on each wall a zone forming a "1", an area forming an "o", a zone forming a "g" and a zone forming an "o", the assembly forming the word "logo".
La boite reçoit un objet réfléchissant 15 de forme pyramidale à quatre faces latérales . Chaque face latérale assure le rétroéclairage de l'une des parois 10, en recueillant des rayons de lumière incidents L arrivant verticalement et traversant le couvercle 11.The box receives a reflecting object 15 of pyramidal shape with four lateral faces. Each lateral face provides the backlighting of one of the walls 10, by collecting incident light rays L arriving vertically and passing through the cover 11.
La boite peut être réalisée suivant diverses techniques et matériaux. Elle peut par exemple être en carton, en bois, en métal... Dans ce cas, les zones transparentes formant le mot "logo" peuvent être des orifices pratiqués dans les parois latérales. Ces orifices peuvent être revêtus d'un film transparent, coloré ou non. La boite peut également être réalisée en verre acrylique ou en "PMMA." (Polymétacrylate) avec teinture sombre dans la masse ou en surface (sérigraphie) pour obtenir les zones opaques qui délimitent les zones transparentes, lesquelles peuvent être teintées. Elle peut également être en polystyrène, polyéthylène ou polypropylène . L'objet réfléchissant 15 peut être réalisé au moyen d'un matériau tel que le carton, le bois, le plastique, le métal et être revêtu d'un matériau réfléchissant tel une feuille d'aluminium. L'objet 15 peut également comprendre une structure d'armatures métalliques ou plastiques permettant de maintenir le matériau réfléchissant. Il peut également être formé par assemblage de quatre pièces en miroir minéral, ce mode de réalisation étant d'un coût faible mais ayant l'inconvénient d'être fragile. L'objet réfléchissant 15 présente une base qui est posée à plat au fond de la boite, et y est de préférence fixée, par exemple par collage.The box can be made according to various techniques and materials. It may for example be cardboard, wood, metal ... In this case, the transparent areas forming the word "logo" may be holes in the side walls. These holes may be coated with a transparent film, colored or not. The box can also be made of acrylic glass or "PMMA." (Polymetacrylate) with dark dye in the mass or on the surface (silkscreen) to obtain the opaque zones which delimit the transparent zones, which can be tinted. It can also be polystyrene, polyethylene or polypropylene. The reflective object 15 may be made of a material such as cardboard, wood, plastic, metal and be coated with a reflective material such as aluminum foil. The object 15 may also include a structure of metal or plastic reinforcements to maintain the reflective material. It may also be formed by assembling four mineral mirror parts, this embodiment being of low cost but having the disadvantage of being fragile. The reflective object 15 has a base which is laid flat at the bottom of the box, and is preferably fixed there, for example by gluing.
Le couvercle 11 peut recevoir un filtre coloré, par exemple un filtre comprenant un dégradé de couleurs créant des effets de moirage très esthétiques dans le rétroéclairage des zones transparentes .The cover 11 can receive a color filter, for example a filter comprising a color gradient creating very aesthetic moire effects in the backlighting of the transparent areas.
Dans une variante de réalisation non représentée sur les figures, le motif à rétroéclairer, par exemple le mot "logo" est agencé sur le couvercle 11, qui comporte alors des zones opaques délimitant le motif. Dans ce cas, chacune des faces de l'objet réfléchissant 15 renvoie le motif rétroéclairé en direction des parois 10 de la boite. Les zones transparentes prévues sur les parois 10 sont des sortes de "fenêtres" permettant d'apercevoir l'image reflétée par l'objet 15, qui semble alors flotter dans l'espace. Dans un tel mode de réalisation, les parois 10 de la boite peuvent aussi être entièrement transparentes, puisqu'elles ne comportent pas elles-mêmes le motif décoratif. Le dispositif décoratif DD2 représenté sur la figure 2 comprend une boite ayant une paroi cylindrique 20, un couvercle transparent 21 et un fond 22. Des zones transparentes T2 formant de nouveau le mot "logo" sont agencées le long d'une région annulaire parcourant le périmètre de la paroi cylindrique 20. Comme précédemment, un objet réfléchissant 25 est disposé à l'intérieur de la boite. L'objet réfléchissant 25 est ici de forme conique ou tronconique et renvoie en direction de la paroi cylindrique 20 des rayons lumineux pénétrant dans la boite par l'intermédiaire du couvercle 21. La boite et l'objet réfléchissant peuvent être réalisés au moyen des techniques et matériaux indiqués ci-dessus.In an alternative embodiment not shown in the figures, the backlit pattern, for example the word "logo" is arranged on the cover 11, which then comprises opaque areas delimiting the pattern. In this case, each of the faces of the reflecting object 15 returns the backlit pattern towards the walls 10 of the box. The transparent areas provided on the walls 10 are a kind of "windows" making it possible to see the image reflected by the object 15, which then seems to float in space. In such an embodiment, the walls 10 of the box may also be entirely transparent, since they do not themselves have the decorative pattern. The decorative device DD2 shown in FIG. 2 comprises a box having a cylindrical wall 20, a transparent cover 21 and a base 22. Transparent zones T2 forming again the word "logo" are arranged along an annular region traversing the Perimeter of the cylindrical wall 20. As before, a reflecting object 25 is disposed inside the box. The reflective object 25 is here conical or frustoconical and returns towards the cylindrical wall 20 light rays penetrating into the box through the cover 21. The box and the reflective object can be made using techniques and materials indicated above.
La figure 3 se rapporte au second aspect de l'invention et représente un dispositif décoratif selon 1 ' invention gui forme une bouteille DD3. La bouteille DD3 contient ou est destinée à contenir un liquide, par exemple un parfum. La bouteille DD3 présente ici un corps de forme cylindrique délimité par une paroi cylindrique 30. Le fond de la bouteille 32 a une forme renflée orientée vers le haut (soit vers l'intérieur de la bouteille) et délimite un logement étanche 33. A l'intérieur du logement 33 est agencé un objet réfléchissant conique ou tronconique 35 réalisé selon l'une des techniques décrites ci-dessus, par exemple un cône en carton recouvert d'une feuille de matériau réfléchissant. Une contre-plaque (non visible sur la figure) est agencée au fond du logement 33 pour maintenir l'objet réfléchissant dans le logement. La paroi 30 de la bouteille présente des zones transparentes T3 délimitées par des zones opaques. Dans cet exemple, les zones transparentes sont agencées le long d'une région annulaire parcourant le périmètre de la bouteille et forment de nouveau le mot "logo". Ainsi, des rayons lumineux L pénètrent dans la bouteille par sa partie supérieure, traversent le fond 32 de la bouteille et pénètrent dans le logement étanche 33, se réfléchissent sur l'objet conique ou tronconique 35, puis traversent dans le sens inverse le fond 32 et assurent le rétroéclairage des parties transparentes .FIG. 3 relates to the second aspect of the invention and represents a decorative device according to The invention forms a DD3 bottle. The DD3 bottle contains or is intended to contain a liquid, for example a perfume. The bottle DD3 here has a cylindrical body delimited by a cylindrical wall 30. The bottom of the bottle 32 has an upwardly bulged shape (towards the inside of the bottle) and delimits a sealed housing 33. A Inside the housing 33 is arranged a conical or frustoconical reflective object 35 made according to one of the techniques described above, for example a cardboard cone covered with a sheet of reflective material. A counter plate (not visible in the figure) is arranged at the bottom of the housing 33 to maintain the reflective object in the housing. The wall 30 of the bottle has transparent zones T3 delimited by opaque zones. In this example, the transparent areas are arranged along an annular region traversing the perimeter of the bottle and form again the word "logo". Thus, light rays L penetrate into the bottle through its upper part, pass through the bottom 32 of the bottle and penetrate into the sealed housing 33, are reflected on the conical or frustoconical object 35, then cross in the opposite direction the bottom 32 and provide backlighting of the transparent portions.
Les figures 4A et 4B représentent une autre bouteille selon 1 ' invention, respectivement par une vue de face et une vue de profil. La bouteille DD4 est ici de forme parallélépipédique et présente quatre parois latérales parmi lesquelles deux parois parallèles 40a, 40b comportent des zones transparentes T4 délimitées par des zones opaques, formant ici le mot "logo". La bouteille DD4 comporte un fond 42 qui est agencé au- dessus de la partie la plus inférieure des quatre parois latérales et qui délimite ainsi, avec la partie inférieure des parois latérales, un logement étanche 43. Le logement 43 reçoit un objet réfléchissant 45 comprenant ici deux faces réfléchissantes 45a, 45b disposées dos à dos selon un agencement triangulaire (vue de profil, figure 4B) . Les zones transparentes T4 sont agencées sur la partie basse des parois 40a, 40b, qui s'étend en regard des faces réfléchissantes 45a, 45b. Ainsi, des rayons lumineux L pénètrent dans la bouteille par sa partie supérieure, traversent le fond 42 de la bouteille et pénètrent dans le logement 43, puis se réfléchissent sur l'objet 45 pour éclairer les zones transparentes sans traverser de nouveau le fond 42 de la bouteille. Dans une variante de réalisation ne mettant en œuvre que le second aspect de l'invention, l'objet 45 ne comporte qu'une face réfléchissante 45a ou 45b et le motif décoratif n'est prévu que sur une face 40a ou 40b.Figures 4A and 4B show another bottle according to the invention, respectively by a front view and a side view. Bottle DD4 is here of parallelepipedal shape and has four sidewalls among which two parallel walls 40a, 40b have transparent areas T4 delimited by opaque areas, here forming the word "logo". The bottle DD4 has a bottom 42 which is arranged above the lower part of the four walls lateral and thus delimits, with the lower part of the side walls, a sealed housing 43. The housing 43 receives a reflecting object 45 comprising here two reflecting faces 45a, 45b disposed back to back in a triangular arrangement (side view, Figure 4B ). The transparent areas T4 are arranged on the lower part of the walls 40a, 40b, which extends opposite the reflecting faces 45a, 45b. Thus, light rays L enter the bottle through its upper part, pass through the bottom 42 of the bottle and enter the housing 43, then reflect on the object 45 to illuminate the transparent areas without crossing again the bottom 42 of the bottle. In an alternative embodiment implementing only the second aspect of the invention, the object 45 has only one reflecting face 45a or 45b and the decorative pattern is provided only on a face 40a or 40b.
Les figures 5A, 5B se rapportent également au second aspect de l ' invention et représentent un dispositif décoratif selon l'invention prenant la forme d'un bouchon DD5 de bouteille, le bouchon étant représenté respectivement par une vue éclatée et une vue en perspective . Le bouchon DD5 comprend une paroi cylindrique 50. A l'intérieur du bouchon, une cloison horizontale 52 délimite une partie inférieure et une partie supérieure du bouchon. La partie inférieure comporte un taraudage 54 formant un pas de vis femelle permettant de visser le bouchon sur une bouteille. La partie supérieure forme un logement étanche 53 dans lequel est agencé un objet réfléchissant 55 de forme conique ou tronconique. Le logement 53 est refermé au moyen d'un disque transparent 51. Des zones transparentes T5 selon l'invention, formant ici le mot "logo", sont pratiquées dans la partie supérieure de la paroi cylindrique 50, en regard de l'objet conique réfléchissant 55. Ainsi, des rayons lumineux pénètrent dans le bouchon par l'intermédiaire du disque 51 et sont renvoyés directement sur les zones transparentes .FIGS. 5A, 5B also relate to the second aspect of the invention and show a decorative device according to the invention in the form of a bottle cap DD5, the cap being represented respectively by an exploded view and a perspective view. The plug DD5 comprises a cylindrical wall 50. Inside the plug, a horizontal partition 52 delimits a lower part and an upper part of the plug. The lower portion has a tapping 54 forming a female thread for screwing the cap on a bottle. The upper part forms a sealed housing 53 in which is arranged a reflective object 55 of conical or frustoconical shape. The housing 53 is closed by means of a transparent disk 51. Transparent zones T5 according to the invention, forming here the word "logo", are formed in the upper part of the cylindrical wall 50, opposite the reflective conical object 55. Thus, light rays penetrate into the plug via the disc 51 and are returned directly to the transparent areas.
L'objet réfléchissant 55 peut être réalisé au moyen des diverses techniques et matériaux précédemment décrits. Comme précédemment, les zones transparentes peuvent également être agencées sur le disque 51, qui comprend alors des zones opaques délimitant les zones transparentes. Dans ce cas, la paroi cylindrique 50 peut être intégralement réalisée avec un matériau transparent, afin que l'image du motif décoratif réfléchie par l'objet 55 soit visible quelle que soit l'orientation du bouchon.
