Definitions

  • the present application relates to the field of pots, and in particular cosmetic pots.
  • a pot of cosmetic product has a base, usually glass or plastic, that is to say a container surmounted by a neck whose diameter is close to the sectional dimensions of the base, to have a large opening .
  • the base is closed by a lid, usually screwed on the neck.
  • the lid is also generally equipped with a seal responsible for sealing the closure for good preservation of the contained product.
  • a disadvantage lies in the fact that the thread of the thread present on the neck makes it necessary to have an open neck of the remainder of the base over a certain height and also a cover of a relatively large height; in other words the presence of the thread imposes dimensional constraints for the height of the neck and the thickness of the lid.
  • the pot For a non-circular shaped pot whose base and lid have identical contours, the pot often has a stop that limits the angular travel of the lid relative to the base so as always to have a coincidence of shape between the base and the lid. The presence of the stop thus prevents screwing beyond, and therefore to compensate for a loss of tightness in case of crushing of the seal.
  • the document US2013 / 0092691 discloses a cosmetic pot having a base and a lid for closing the base. To at least partly solve the aforementioned drawbacks, the present application aims to provide a pot with a simple lid for use to close or open a pot that allows to guarantee a reliability of closure and which leads further to other advantages.
  • a notch configured to form at least one longitudinal stop, that is to say in a vertical direction relative to the pot, so that it is impossible to pull the lid to open the pot without turning it so that the inner and outer parts pivot relative to each other to release the claw of a hooking element thus forming a hook, that is to say away from the neck so that it can be cleared of the notch.
  • a rotation of the cover relative to the attachment plate induces a movement of the claw allowing it, for example, to disengage from the notch formed in the neck of the base.
  • the lid is in the rest position, and no effort is applied to its various components. The wear of the lid is thus limited.
  • the opening of the pot is achieved by the relative rotation of the outer cover and the inner plate, but any relative rotation between the inner plate and the neck of the base of the pot is very limited or even avoided, so that a seal may be present works mainly in compression, minimizing shear stresses, very present in the case of a pot with screwed lid.
  • the seal can be made of an adherent material, that is to say which has low sliding qualities.
  • the sealing is therefore easier to achieve with efficiency and a large choice of materials and / or embodiments is possible to achieve the seal.
  • the pot is aesthetic because it is possible to dispense with threading at the neck. This eliminates the constraints of dimensions on the height of the neck and the thickness of the lid that imposed the presence of a thread.
  • Such a lid is also aesthetic because no part of its mechanism, apart from possibly at least one claw, is visible to a user without resorting to disassembly of the lid.
  • Such a hidden mechanism provides the lid an elegant shape.
  • the cover also allows a large volume variability, which allows to achieve different sizes without being constrained by the size of the mechanism that includes, especially in height.
  • the lid is easily adaptable to any existing pot for example and can also be re-adapted later to another pot, the same product or having a different capacity. This allows for example to customize the lid and to keep it during the use of different pots, whether pot of the same product, or different products, whatever their capacity.
  • the neck here is not necessarily circular section. It is possible to have a collar with a any shape, oval, oblong, square, polygonal or other, provided that the lid has a corresponding shape and / or adapted.
  • projecting active area here designates the part of the cam which makes it possible to push the cam follower, for example radially outwards.
  • the projecting active area has for example a shape of bump or involute segment of a circle.
  • the profile of the cam has a regular contour to ensure a smoother rotational movement of the mounting plate relative to the cover, smoothly.
  • the cam is located towards the center of the cover. This produces a lever arm effect between the periphery of the lid and the area where the cam is located. Therefore, the torque that a user must apply between the base of the pot and the lid to cause relative rotation of the cap relative to the plate is low. In any case, the torque is lower than for a traditional screw cap where the torque applied by the user must overcome the friction between the cover and the neck which are located at the periphery of the cover.
  • the at least one attachment element in second position is thus translated relative to the first position in a radial direction with respect to a center of rotation of the cam. Such displacement induced by the cam makes it easier to guarantee easy opening of the pot when the lid is used.
  • the attachment plate is held oriented on the neck when the hood is rotated until the at least one claw disengages from the at least one notch of the neck.
  • the pot is thus hermetically sealed and can be opened by a simple and quick gesture, in particular because such a lid can open the pot with a movement possibly less than or equal to about a quarter of a turn (90 °) or about 45 ° preferably, or less, for example about 15 ° or about 10 °.
  • the pot is easily closed by clipping the lid.
  • the pot is closed simply by replacing the lid and pressing the lid so that the hooking elements cross the edge of the neck and engage under the rim, in a notch.
  • the cover comprises a return element in position, the return element in position being connected on the one hand to the support of the attachment plate and on the other hand to the cover, so that the element in position is in a configuration called “neutral" when the lid is in the rest position and in a deformed configuration when the lid is in the open position, so that the return element in position induces a counter-rotation of the cover relative to the catch plate when the cover is in the open position so as to automatically bring the cover back to the rest position.
  • Such a return element in position cooperates with the cam to facilitate the return to the rest position of the cover.
  • the cam is preferably configured so that the rest position is a stable equilibrium position of the upper part relative to the lower part while the open position is preferably an unstable position so that the lid naturally tends to return to the rest position in which the mechanical stresses of the various components of the lid are minimal.
  • the presence of a return element in position reinforces this aspect to promote the systematic return of the cover in the rest position.
  • the open position is also a stable position so that the lid can remain in the open position.
  • the at least one active area projecting from the cam is configured to form a stable open position.
  • the at least one projecting active area comprises for that a flattened top.
  • the pot is closed by placing the lid on the base and turning it relative to the base in the opposite direction to that which led to the opening.
  • the return element in position is a blade.
  • the blade is for example maintained firstly in a slot formed in the support of the latching plate and secondly in a slot formed in the cover.
  • the slot of the attachment plate and the slot of the cover are aligned relative to each other when the cover is in the rest position, or at least configured so that the return element in position is in a natural position, that is to say not deformed, when the lid is in the rest position.
  • the restoring element in position also acts as a limit of rotational stroke between the cover and the attachment plate of the cover.
  • Such a return element in position is thus particularly easy to achieve and assemble with the other components of the cover.
  • the radial cam is a cam with an external profile.
  • Such a cam thus makes it possible, for example, to push the at least one fastening element towards the outside, which facilitates a gripping of the cover on the base, for example with the claw positioned on an outer side of the neck of the base in order to avoid contact of the claw with the product contained in the base, for better hygiene for example.
  • claws configured to be positioned on an inner side of the neck of the base or intended to be pushed in the other direction, that is to say towards the center of the pot, are also conceivable if the dimensions of the pots make this lid configuration more convenient for example.
  • a radial cam with internal profile may then be preferred.
  • the at least one active zone projecting from the radial cam has a plane of symmetry so that the cover and the hooking plate of the cover are configured to rotate relative to each other clockwise or counterclockwise, indifferently.
  • Such a lid thus allows such an easy gesture for a left-handed user or a right-handed user, by making it possible to turn the inner part relative to the outer part indifferently in one direction or another.
  • the cover comprises at least two movable translational latching elements each comprising a claw and a cam follower in contact with the radial cam of the cover, and the cam comprises at least two projecting active zones, each hooking element being configured to take a first position when the lid is in the rest position and a second position when the lid is in the open position, the second position of each hooking element being a position in which the follower each cam member of each latching member cooperates with a corresponding projecting active area of the radial cam and wherein each latching element, in second position, is translated relative to the first position when the lid is in the open position .
  • the cam has as many projecting active areas as there are hooking elements, and each hooking element comprises a claw and a cam follower. All the attachment elements, when the cover has at least two, are preferably identical.
  • each projecting active area has the same radius for each angle of rotation of the cover relative to the attachment plate so that for a given rotation angle, each corresponding fastening element is moved simultaneously from the same distance. This makes it possible to produce an open and easy opening of the pot when the lid is used.
  • the projecting active areas such as the hooking elements are preferably arranged at regular intervals from each other.
  • the cover comprises two attachment elements and two active areas projecting from the cam, these are preferably diametrically opposed.
  • the lid has four hooking elements and four active areas protruding from the cam, these are preferably arranged every 90 °.
  • the cover when the cover comprises at least two attachment elements and at least two corresponding projecting active areas on the cam, the cover comprises a single snap-back element configured to automatically return at a time. each of the at least two gripping elements in first position.
  • Such a hooking return element is for example a ring or a bracelet, for example polymer or elastomer, or a metal spring, a leaf spring or a tension spring.
  • a ring-shaped fastening return element is for example arranged in a groove formed jointly by a groove dug in the support of the plate for fastening the cover and in each attachment element so as to form preferably a regular circle.
  • the at least one notch of the neck of the base is possibly continuous or discontinuous.
  • the base comprises at least one rib configured to keep the cover hooking plate oriented relative to the base when the at least one hooking element is in the first position, with the lid on the base.
  • notch can then be continuous and thus form a groove around the neck.
  • the at least one attachment element can then engage in the notch, then unique, in any place.
  • the notch is then possibly discontinuous. That is to say, the neck then comprises for example at least one rib, that is to say one or more ribs (s), to act as orientation stop. Such a rib is thus able to limit the rotation of the lid relative to the base.
  • the at least one rib blocks its rotation and therefore forces the hood to pivot relative to the latching plate.
  • the at least one rib can also facilitate the positioning of the lid relative to the base in the case for example where the base and the lid must respect a certain alignment with respect to each other.
  • the user At closing, after having engaged the cover on the neck so that the fastening elements penetrate into the at least one notch, the user then continues the rotation of the cover until feeling the resistance caused by the meeting of a fastening element with a rib. By releasing the hood, it is returned to its rest position which places it in the ad hoc position relative to the base.
  • a remark in the case of a single rib, there is however only one notch although it is then discontinuous. For example, it is possible for several attachment elements to engage in the same notch.
  • the base may comprise a plurality of notches and several ribs if necessary, for example as many notches as snap elements, the notches being separated from each other by ribs.
  • each rib is flush with a peripheral rim of the neck, so that a second position hooking element is then simultaneously able to pass over a rib and the peripheral rim to disengage from its notch.
  • each rib is set back relative to a peripheral rim of the neck.
  • the at least one hooking element possibly engages at first under the peripheral rim, opposite a rib, then then, while the lid is turned, deeper into a notch.
  • the width of each of the notches is adjusted to receive a claw of a fastening element with a reduced play to the operating clearance.
  • the at least one notch has a width substantially equal to a width of the claw of the corresponding fastening element.
  • “Width” here refers to the dimension along the circumference of the neck.
  • the cover is positioned on the base according to a limited number of angular positions, for example a position or four positions considering a case where the neck would have four notches. The four positions make it possible to position the lid in coincidence with the faces of the pot if it is square for example.
