Definitions

• the present invention relates to a housing with assisted opening, in particular adapted to contain a cosmetic product, any object or a portable electronic device.
• the invention more particularly proposes a box formed by two parts articulated by means of a hinge, one of the two parts constituting the lid and the other part constituting the bottom of the box, used in particular for containing make-up products.
• the bottom of such a housing may, in a known manner, be formed of a single hollow part providing an internal space.
• a closure system comprising a member carried by the edge of the lid and a member carried by the edge of the bottom of the housing opposite the hinge.
• the element carried by the edge of the lid may be a hook which cooperates with an opening secured to the bottom of the housing.
• the integral part of the bottom can be formed in an additional room, often called drawer, slidable between guides, or in a channel, formed in the bottom of the housing.
• the drawer slides by manual action on an actuating means carried by the drawer and accessible from the outside, resilient return means carried by the drawer allowing the drawer to return to its rest position.
• the opening of this type of housing is not always pleasant for the user, the drawer being likely to catch or rub during its sliding movement, the elastic means of recall does not allow to obtain sufficient drawer travel, causing difficulty opening the housing.
• this type of design requires the production of a plurality of complex parts, in particular with elastic return means, a particular arrangement of the bottom of the housing for sliding the drawer, which generates additional manufacturing costs.
• the invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by proposing a design housing that is both simple and aesthetic to overcome the use of complex parts while reducing the number of parts necessary for the development of the housing.
• the invention proposes a housing comprising a cover, a base, a plate interposed between said cover and said base, said cover being articulated in rotation relative to said plate by means of a hinge, and a locking system. solidarisant in a closed position said lid and said base,
• said plate is slidably mounted on said base, so that it allows a translational movement of said cover causing the unlocking of said locking system.
• a force exerted on the cover engenders the sliding of the plate from an initial position to a secondary opening position.
• Platinum designates an element allowing in particular the support or integration of receptacles intended to receive cosmetic products, objects such as for example glasses, watches, jewelery or leather goods or components of a portable electric apparatus. such as a phone, a walkman, an MP3 player or a browser. Such containers can also be integrated in the plate.
• the invention it is possible to overcome the use of a complex closure mechanism and simplify the shape of the different parts constituting the housing, while providing an aesthetic opening mechanism and pleasant for the user.
• the housing according to the invention may comprise, in addition to the main features which have just been mentioned in the preceding paragraph, one or more of the following characteristics, considered individually or in any technically possible combination:
• said closure system is formed by a projection carried by said base, cooperating with a hook carried by said cover;
• said base comprises a recess cooperating with a projection of said plate, so that said plate slides in said cavity;
• said casing comprises elastic means capable of returning said platen to position in an initial position
• said hinge comprises elastic means and / or retarder means for initializing and / or braking the rotation of said cover;
• said hinge comprises an abutment stopping the rotation of said cover;
• said platen comprises at least one rack capable of receiving a cosmetic product;
• said housing is able to receive one or more objects, in particular glasses, mirrors, jewelery or leather goods;
• the plate and / or the housing cover comprise components of a portable electrical device, in particular a mobile phone, a browser, a walkman, or an MP3 player;
• the housing is made of plastic, zamak, metal or alloys or a combination of said materials.
• FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal perspective section of a housing adapted to contain a cosmetic product according to the invention in a closed position
• FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal perspective section of a housing adapted to contain a cosmetic product according to the invention in an unlocked position
• FIG. 3 shows a longitudinal perspective section of a housing adapted to contain a cosmetic product according to the invention in an open position.
• the common elements bear the same reference numbers.
• the housing adapted to contain a cosmetic product is designated as a whole by reference numeral 10.
• the housing 10 is formed of a lid 2 rotatably mounted by means of a hinge 4 with respect to a plate 3.
• a rack 1 able to contain a cosmetic product, for example of type make-up bread.
• the plate 3 further comprises a second rack 11 depth adapted to contain applicators, for example brushes type.
• the plate 3 of the housing 10 may comprise different bins of varying depths intended to contain various cosmetic products or other associated elements.
• the housing 10 also comprises a base 5 formed by a flat rectangular surface 15, provided with two flat lateral walls 18 and a front wall 16.
• the front wall 16 comprises, in the middle of its upper edge 17, a notch in which a protuberance 7 in "half-round” protrudes inwardly of the base 5.
• the plate 3 is slidably mounted in the longitudinal direction of the housing
• the plate 3 moves, by sliding, on the base 5, between an initial position in which the plate 3 is in contact with the front wall 16 of the base 5 and a secondary position defined by a stop inside the housing between the base 5 and the plate 3.
• the plate 3 also comprises means for holding the plate 3 on the base 5, such as fixing means formed by a projection integral with the plate 3 moving in a groove of the base.
• the plate 3 comprises two lugs on the outer surfaces of the lateral walls cooperating with longitudinal grooves, made on the side walls 18 of the base in the sliding direction of the plate 3, the plate 3 being assembled in force beforehand on the base 5.
• the sliding of the plate 3 causes the displacement of the lid 2, the hinge 4 providing a connection means between the plate 3 and the lid 2.
• the plate 3 In the closed position of the housing 10, illustrated in FIG. 1, the plate 3 is in its initial position in which the front wall of the plate 3 is in contact with the front wall 16 of the base 5.
• the cover 2 is formed by a flat rectangular surface 21 provided with flat lateral walls 22, a front wall 12 and a rear wall 24 perpendicular to the flat surface 21.
• the flat surface 21 may comprise mirror-like reflecting means of small thickness, covering all or part of the flat surface 21.
• the front wall 12 comprises, in the middle of its lower edge 23, a projection 8 formed in a hollow, forming a hook, the concave portion is directed outwardly of the lid 2 so as to cooperate with the protuberance 7 in "half-round".
• the hook 8 and the protuberance 7 cooperate and thus form closure means 9 of the housing 10 so as to secure the cover 2 to the base 5.
• the force exerted on the cover 2 causes the plate 3 to slide from its initial position in which its front wall is in contact with the end wall 17 of the base, towards a secondary opening position.
• FIG. 1 illustrates particularly the disengagement of the closing means 9 by the displacement of the cover 2 and the plate 3 towards the rear of the housing 10.
• the rotation of the cover 2 of the housing 10 is carried out without external intervention, for example by elastic means of helical spring type cooperating with the hinge 4, the rotation of the cover 2 being braked by retarder means arranged in the hinge 4 so as to generate an aesthetic openness and a pleasant impression of fluidity and flexibility to the user.
• the housing 10 according to the invention may comprise elastic means, for example of the spring type in the grooves of the side walls of the base 5, so as to position the plate 3, when no external intervention is applied, in a reference position that can be the initial position.
• the elastic means thus make it possible to avoid unwanted displacements of the plate 3 in the base 5 and participate in increasing the impression of robustness and quality of the housing 10.
