Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif de conditionnement pour produit cosmétique, notamment pour un produit cosmétique sous forme solide ou pâteux, c'est-à-dire qui ne se répand pas à l'air libre, tel que du rouge à lèvres, du baume à lèvres, du fard à joues ou à paupières et du fond de teint.The invention relates to a packaging device for a cosmetic product, in particular for a cosmetic product in solid or pasty form, that is to say which does not spread in the open air, such as lipstick or balm. lip, blush or eye shadow and foundation.

Les documents US2007/0292344 A1 et FR 3 016 116 A1 divulguent des exemples des dispositifs de conditionnement pour produit cosmétique.The documents US2007 / 0292344 A1 and FR 3 016 116 A1 disclose examples of packaging devices for cosmetic products.

On connait de l'état de la technique des dispositifs de conditionnement pour rouge à lèvres notamment, dont l'ouverture du dispositif se fait par le basculement d'une première partie autour d'un axe de rotation, cette première partie s'imbriquant complètement à l'intérieur d'une seconde partie pour laisser apparaître le produit en position ouverte du dispositif.From the state of the art, packaging devices for lipstick in particular are known, the device of which is opened by the tilting of a first part about an axis of rotation, this first part being completely interlocking. inside a second part to reveal the product in the open position of the device.

Toutefois, ce type de dispositif est souvent non adapté pour limiter la course du capot lors du basculement de ce dernier à l'intérieur de la base et pour assurer le blocage du capot en position d'ouverture ou de fermeture.However, this type of device is often not suitable for limiting the travel of the cover during the tilting of the latter inside the base and for locking the cover in the open or closed position.

Un des objectifs de l'invention consiste donc à proposer une solution pour contrôler le mouvement de basculement du capot lors de l'ouverture du dispositif de conditionnement et pour assurer le blocage du capot aussi bien en position d'ouverture qu'en position de fermeture.One of the objectives of the invention therefore consists in providing a solution for controlling the tilting movement of the cover when the packaging device is opened and for locking the cover both in the open position and in the closed position. .

Un avantage de cette invention est de permettre au consommateur d'utiliser le dispositif selon l'invention sans avoir à assurer l'arrêt de la course et le blocage du capot. Autrement dit, lorsque le dispositif est en position d'ouverture, le capot demeure caché dans la base du dispositif, de façon stable, sans que le capot ne revienne sur sa course. Le consommateur peut ainsi avoir accès au produit cosmétique, sans gêne d'un éventuel retour intempestif du capot. En outre, l'ouverture aléatoire, par exemple dans un sac à main, est évitée.One advantage of this invention is that it allows the consumer to use the device according to the invention without having to stop the stroke and block the cover. In other words, when the device is in the open position, the cover remains hidden in the base of the device, in a stable manner, without the cover returning to its course. The consumer can thus have access to the cosmetic product, without the inconvenience of a possible untimely return of the cover. In addition, random opening, for example in a handbag, is avoided.

Ainsi, l'invention concerne un dispositif de conditionnement pour produit cosmétique, notamment pour produit cosmétique solide ou pâteux, comportant une base, une pièce intermédiaire destinée à porter le produit cosmétique, un capot et des moyens de blocage, la pièce intermédiaire étant montée solidaire de la base et le capot étant monté articulé sur la pièce intermédiaire de manière que ledit capot occupe deux positions, une première position, dite de fermeture du dispositif, dans laquelle la base et le capot définissent un espace sensiblement fermé entre eux, ledit produit cosmétique étant logé à l'intérieur du capot, et une seconde position, dite d'ouverture du dispositif, dans laquelle le capot est escamoté à l'intérieur de la base, dans lequel ledit capot est configuré pour être bloqué en position d'ouverture - réciproquement en position de fermeture - par des moyens de blocage comportant au moins une excroissance de matière faisant saillie de la pièce intermédiaire.Thus, the invention relates to a packaging device for a cosmetic product, in particular for a solid or pasty cosmetic product, comprising a base, an intermediate part intended to carry the cosmetic product, a cover and locking means, the intermediate part being mounted integrally. of the base and the cover being mounted articulated on the intermediate piece so that said cover occupies two positions, a first position, called the device closure, in which the base and the cover define a space substantially closed between them, said cosmetic product being housed inside the cover, and a second position, called the opening of the device, in which the cover is retracted inside the base, in which said cover is configured to be locked in the open position - conversely in the closed position - by locking means comprising at least one protuberance of material projecting from the intermediate piece.

Avantageusement, le dispositif de conditionnement pour produit cosmétique, notamment pour produit cosmétique solide ou pâteux, comporte une base, une pièce intermédiaire, un capot et des moyens de blocage, la pièce intermédiaire étant montée dans la base et le capot étant monté articulé sur la pièce intermédiaire de manière que le dispositif occupe deux positions, une première position, dite de fermeture, dans laquelle la base et le capot définissent un espace sensiblement fermé entre eux, ledit produit cosmétique étant logé à l'intérieur du capot, et une seconde position, dite d'ouverture, dans laquelle le capot est escamoté à l'intérieur de la base, dans lequel :

  • la base sert de moyen de saisie du dispositif et d'assise pour la pièce intermédiaire,
  • le capot est configuré, d'une part, pour être bloqué en position d'ouverture - réciproquement en position de fermeture - et d'autre part, pour basculer, par un mouvement de rotation, à l'intérieur de la base,
  • la pièce intermédiaire est destinée à porter le produit cosmétique et à le rendre accessible en position d'ouverture du dispositif.
Advantageously, the packaging device for a cosmetic product, in particular for a solid or pasty cosmetic product, comprises a base, an intermediate part, a cover and locking means, the intermediate part being mounted in the base and the cover being mounted articulated on the intermediate piece so that the device occupies two positions, a first position, called closed, in which the base and the cover define a space substantially closed between them, said cosmetic product being housed inside the cover, and a second position , called opening, in which the cover is retracted inside the base, in which:
  • the base serves as a means of gripping the device and a seat for the intermediate piece,
  • the cover is configured, on the one hand, to be locked in the open position - reciprocally in the closed position - and on the other hand, to tilt, by a rotational movement, inside the base,
  • the intermediate part is intended to carry the cosmetic product and to make it accessible in the open position of the device.

Selon l'invention, le dispositif de conditionnement comprend en outre, des moyens de blocage permettant la retenue du capot en position d'ouverture - réciproquement en position de fermeture, les moyens de blocage étant prévus sous la forme d'une excroissance de matière faisant saillie de la pièce intermédiaire, l'excroissance de matière étant destinée à venir en butée avec le capot, le passage de la position de fermeture à la position d'ouverture, et inversement, se faisant par un effort limité, exercé sur le capot, de manière à débloquer le capot de sa position sans faire appel à un outil extérieur.According to the invention, the packaging device further comprises, locking means allowing the cover to be retained in the open position - reciprocally in the closed position, the locking means being provided in the form of a protuberance of material forming projection of the intermediate piece, the protrusion of material being intended to come into abutment with the cover, the passage from the closed position to the open position, and vice versa, taking place by a limited force exerted on the cover, so as to release the cover from its position without using an external tool.

Avantageusement, l'invention permet de pouvoir contrôler le mouvement de basculement du capot lors de l'ouverture du dispositif de conditionnement.Advantageously, the invention makes it possible to be able to control the tilting movement of the cover when the packaging device is opened.

L'invention permet de pouvoir contrôler le blocage du capot aussi bien en position d'ouverture qu'en position de fermeture.The invention makes it possible to be able to control the locking of the cover both in the open position and in the closed position.

Dans la suite de la description, des éléments et composants présentant une structure ou des fonctions identiques, analogues ou similaires seront désignés par les mêmes références.In the remainder of the description, elements and components having an identical, analogous or similar structure or functions will be designated by the same references.

Dans la suite de la description, on adoptera par convention et à titre non limitatif, des orientations longitudinale, verticale, transversale en référence au trièdre (L, V, T) représenté sur l'ensemble des figures. La direction verticale est utilisée à titre de référence géométrique sans rapport avec la direction de la gravité terrestre. L'axe (R) de rotation est horizontal dans la direction longitudinale L.In the remainder of the description, longitudinal, vertical and transverse orientations will be adopted by convention and without limitation, with reference to the trihedron (L, V, T) shown in all of the figures. The vertical direction is used as a geometric reference unrelated to the direction of Earth's gravity. The axis (R) of rotation is horizontal in the longitudinal direction L.

Par convention, les orientations longitudinale et transversale sont déterminées de manière fixe par rapport à la base du dispositif de sorte que la position ouverte ou fermée du dispositif est sans incidence sur lesdites orientations.By convention, the longitudinal and transverse orientations are determined in a fixed manner with respect to the base of the device so that the open or closed position of the device has no effect on said orientations.

On utilisera également à titre non limitatif les termes « gauche » et « droite » en référence à l'orientation longitudinale, ainsi que « supérieur » et « inférieur » ou « haut » et « bas » en référence à l'orientation verticale et enfin « avant » et « arrière » en référence à l'orientation transversale, l'avant du dispositif présentant un moyen de préhension du capot en position de fermeture.The terms “left” and “right” will also be used without limitation with reference to the longitudinal orientation, as well as “upper” and “lower” or “top” and “bottom” with reference to the vertical orientation and finally “Front” and “rear” with reference to the transverse orientation, the front of the device having a means for gripping the cover in the closed position.

Les termes « intérieur » ou « extérieur » et « interne » ou « externe » sont respectivement utilisés par rapport au dispositif d'une manière générale et tout particulièrement par rapport à la pièce intermédiaire et à la base du dispositif notamment pour désigner un élément situé soit dedans, soit en dehors de la pièce intermédiaire ou de la base.The terms “interior” or “exterior” and “internal” or “external” are respectively used in relation to the device in general and all particularly with respect to the intermediate part and to the base of the device, in particular to designate an element located either inside or outside the intermediate part or the base.

Bien que plus particulièrement prévu pour l'application de rouge à lèvres ou de baume à lèvres, l'invention pourra aussi être utilisée pour tout autre type de produit cosmétique pouvant être conditionné sous forme solide ou pâteuse, c'est-à-dire qui ne se répand pas à l'air libre, notamment du fard à joues ou à paupières, du fond de teint, du parfum ou des produits de type déodorant ou antiperspirant.Although more particularly intended for the application of lipstick or lip balm, the invention can also be used for any other type of cosmetic product which can be packaged in solid or pasty form, that is to say which does not spread in the open air, in particular blush or eye shadow, foundation, perfume or deodorant or antiperspirant type products.

On décrira ci-après un premier mode de réalisation d'un dispositif 10 de conditionnement selon l'invention qui est plus particulièrement illustré aux figures 1A à 7B.A first embodiment of a packaging device 10 according to the invention which is more particularly illustrated in FIGS. figures 1A to 7B .

Le dispositif 10 de conditionnement est destiné à être utilisé pour conditionner un produit cosmétique P, notamment un produit cosmétique solide ou pâteux.The packaging device 10 is intended to be used for packaging a cosmetic product P, in particular a solid or pasty cosmetic product.

Le dispositif 10 de conditionnement pour produit cosmétique comporte une base 20, une pièce intermédiaire 30 destinée à porter le produit cosmétique P et un capot 40.The device 10 for packaging a cosmetic product comprises a base 20, an intermediate part 30 intended to carry the cosmetic product P and a cover 40.

La pièce intermédiaire 30 est montée solidaire de la base 20 par l'intermédiaire de moyens de fixation. De préférence, la fixation entre la pièce intermédiaire 30 et la base 20 est obtenue par coopération de formes par exemple par emboîtement élastique (ou « clipsage »).The intermediate piece 30 is mounted integral with the base 20 by means of fixing means. Preferably, the fixing between the intermediate piece 30 and the base 20 is obtained by cooperation of shapes, for example by elastic interlocking (or “clipping”).

En variante, la fixation entre la pièce intermédiaire 30 et la base 20 est réalisée par vissage ou par collage ou tous autres moyens de fixation équivalents.As a variant, the fixing between the intermediate part 30 and the base 20 is made by screwing or gluing or any other equivalent fixing means.

Les moyens de fixation selon le premier mode de réalisation seront décrits plus en détail ultérieurement. Les moyens de fixation sont aptes à lier axialement au moins, selon la direction verticale, la pièce intermédiaire 30 et la base 20.The fixing means according to the first embodiment will be described in more detail later. The fixing means are able to bind axially at least, in the vertical direction, the intermediate part 30 and the base 20.

Selon les moyens de fixation utilisés, la pièce intermédiaire 30 et la base 20 sont également susceptibles d'être bloquées ou non en rotation l'une par rapport à l'autre.Depending on the fixing means used, the intermediate part 30 and the base 20 are also likely to be blocked or not in rotation with respect to one another.

Le dispositif 10 de conditionnement peut comporter des moyens de blocage en rotation de la pièce intermédiaire 30 par rapport à la base 20, distincts des moyens de fixation.The conditioning device 10 may comprise means for locking the intermediate part 30 in rotation relative to the base 20, separate from the fixing means.

Dans ce premier mode de réalisation, la pièce intermédiaire 30 est montée dans la base 20, la pièce intermédiaire 30 étant en partie reçue à l'intérieur de la base 20.In this first embodiment, the intermediate piece 30 is mounted in the base 20, the intermediate piece 30 being in part received inside the base 20.

Le capot 40 est monté mobile en rotation par rapport à la pièce intermédiaire 30, solidaire de la base 20, par l'intermédiaire de moyens d'articulation. Le capot 40 est monté articulé sur la pièce intermédiaire 30 de manière que le capot 40 occupe deux positions, une première position, dite de fermeture du dispositif telle qu'illustrée aux figures 1A à 1C, dans laquelle la base 20 et le capot 40 définissent un espace sensiblement fermé entre eux et une seconde position, dite d'ouverture du dispositif telle qu'illustrée aux figures 2A à 2C, dans laquelle le capot 40 est escamoté à l'intérieur de la base 20.The cover 40 is mounted to move in rotation with respect to the intermediate part 30, integral with the base 20, by means of articulation means. The cover 40 is mounted articulated on the intermediate part 30 so that the cover 40 occupies two positions, a first position, called the closing position of the device as illustrated in figures 1A to 1C , in which the base 20 and the cover 40 define a space that is substantially closed between them and a second position, called the opening position of the device as illustrated in figures 2A to 2C , in which the cover 40 is retracted inside the base 20.

De préférence, le dispositif 10 est de forme sensiblement sphérique. En variante non représentée, le dispositif selon l'invention peut prendre une forme sensiblement cylindrique avec des surfaces arrondies, une forme d'œuf, ovales ou analogues.Preferably, the device 10 is of substantially spherical shape. In a variant not shown, the device according to the invention can take a substantially cylindrical shape with rounded surfaces, the shape of an egg, oval or the like.

De préférence, la base 20, illustrée à la figure 3A, est réalisée en matière plastique choisie notamment dans le groupe comprenant de l'acrylonitrile butadiène styrène (ABS), du polypropylène (PP) ou du styrène-acrylonitrile (SAN). La base est fabriquée par moulage.Preferably, the base 20, illustrated on figure 3A , is made of plastic chosen in particular from the group comprising acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polypropylene (PP) or styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN). The base is made by molding.

La base 20 a sensiblement la forme d'une demi-sphère creuse et présente une face extérieure 21 et une face intérieure 22. Avantageusement, la face intérieure 22 est lisse. La face extérieure 21 peut être lisse ou peut comprendre des reliefs. La face extérieure 21 peut aussi être décorée, c'est-à-dire qu'elle peut comprendre des éléments de personnalisation du dispositif 10.The base 20 has substantially the shape of a hollow hemisphere and has an outer face 21 and an inner face 22. Advantageously, the inner face 22 is smooth. The outer face 21 may be smooth or may include reliefs. The outer face 21 can also be decorated, that is to say it can include elements for personalizing the device 10.

Le long de l'axe vertical V, la base 20 comporte une première extrémité supérieure 23 de la base 20 qui est délimitée circonférentiellement par un bord 123. Cette extrémité supérieure 23 de la base 20 est ouverte verticalement vers le haut de façon à recevoir la pièce intermédiaire 30.Along the vertical axis V, the base 20 has a first upper end 23 of the base 20 which is delimited circumferentially by an edge 123. This upper end 23 of the base 20 is open vertically upwards so as to receive the intermediate piece 30.

En outre, près de l'extrémité supérieure 23 de la base 20 et plus particulièrement sur la face intérieure 22 de cette extrémité supérieure 23 de la base 20, on distingue une rainure 24 conçue de manière à recevoir la pièce intermédiaire 30. On retrouve cette rainure 24 formant un épaulement sur sensiblement toute la circonférence de la base 20. La largeur de la rainure 24, le long de l'axe vertical V, est adaptée pour correspondre à la largeur d'une jante 31 de la pièce intermédiaire 30.In addition, near the upper end 23 of the base 20 and more particularly on the inner face 22 of this upper end 23 of the base 20, there is a groove 24 designed to receive the intermediate piece 30. We find this again. groove 24 forming a shoulder over substantially the entire circumference of the base 20. The width of the groove 24, along the vertical axis V, is adapted to correspond to the width of a rim 31 of the intermediate part 30.

Le long de l'axe vertical V, la base 20 présente aussi une seconde extrémité inférieure 25 de la base 20 permettant la préhension du dispositif 10 selon l'invention lors de l'application du maquillage, l'extrémité inférieure 25 de la base 20 comprenant en outre une structure 26 qui, formant un fond, est conçue de manière à permettre le positionnement stable du dispositif 10 sur une surface complémentaire, par exemple une surface plane, notamment une maquilleuse, une table, un comptoir.Along the vertical axis V, the base 20 also has a second lower end 25 of the base 20 allowing the gripping of the device 10 according to the invention during the application of makeup, the lower end 25 of the base 20 further comprising a structure 26 which, forming a bottom, is designed so as to allow the stable positioning of the device 10 on a complementary surface, for example a flat surface, in particular a make-up artist, a table, a counter.

La base 20 comporte au moins deux moyens d'accroche 27, ici mâles, destinés à coopérer avec au moins deux moyens d'accroche 38, ici femelles, prévus sur la pièce intermédiaire 30, de manière que la pièce intermédiaire 30 soit solidaire de la base 20 dans les positions de fermeture et d'ouverture du dispositif 10.The base 20 comprises at least two hooking means 27, here male, intended to cooperate with at least two hooking means 38, here female, provided on the intermediate part 30, so that the intermediate part 30 is integral with the base 20 in the closed and open positions of the device 10.

Dans ce premier mode de réalisation, les moyens d'accroche 27 et 38 constituent un exemple de moyens de fixation pour fixer ensemble la pièce intermédiaire 30 et la base 20, de manière réversible ou non.In this first embodiment, the hooking means 27 and 38 constitute an example of fixing means for fixing the intermediate part 30 and the base 20 together, reversibly or not.

Comme illustré aux figures 3A et 3B, chacun des deux moyens d'accroche 27 mâles situés sur la base 20 comprend d'une part, un centreur 28 et, d'autre part, des logements 29, latéraux par rapport au centreur 28.As shown in figures 3A and 3B , each of the two male hooking means 27 located on the base 20 comprises, on the one hand, a centering device 28 and, on the other hand, housings 29, lateral with respect to the centering device 28.

Les deux moyens d'accroche 27 mâles sont positionnés sensiblement au niveau de la rainure 24. Autrement dit, les deux moyens d'accroche 27 mâles sont situés au niveau de la face intérieure 22 de l'extrémité supérieure 23 de la base 20.The two male attachment means 27 are positioned substantially at the level of the groove 24. In other words, the two male attachment means 27 are located at the level of the inner face 22 of the upper end 23 of the base 20.

Le centreur 28 est destiné à se loger dans un évidement 38-3 découpé dans la matière d'une tête 38-1 du moyen d'accroche 38 femelle de la pièce intermédiaire 30 de manière à assurer la mise en position de la pièce intermédiaire 30 sur la base 20.The centralizer 28 is intended to be housed in a recess 38-3 cut in the material of a head 38-1 of the female hooking means 38 of the part intermediate 30 so as to ensure the positioning of the intermediate part 30 on the base 20.

Le centreur 28 peut prendre toute forme complémentaire de la forme de l'évidement 38-3. Ainsi, la forme technique du centreur 28 est adaptée de façon à pouvoir être insérée ou logée dans la forme correspondante de l'évidement 38-3. Avantageusement, la forme technique du centreur 28, et par conséquent de l'évidement 38-3, n'est pas de révolution de façon à éviter toute rotation de la pièce intermédiaire 30 par rapport à la base 20.The centering device 28 can take any shape complementary to the shape of the recess 38-3. Thus, the technical form of the centralizer 28 is adapted so that it can be inserted or housed in the corresponding form of the recess 38-3. Advantageously, the technical form of the centering device 28, and consequently of the recess 38-3, is not of revolution so as to avoid any rotation of the intermediate part 30 relative to the base 20.

Plus particulièrement, le centreur 28 peut prendre une forme polygonale, notamment une forme sensiblement carrée, rectangulaire, triangulaire. Ainsi, les différents côtés créés par les nombreux angles dans ces polygones permettent la non rotation de la pièce intermédiaire 30 par rapport à la base 20.More particularly, the centralizer 28 can take a polygonal shape, in particular a substantially square, rectangular or triangular shape. Thus, the different sides created by the many angles in these polygons allow the non-rotation of the intermediate part 30 relative to the base 20.

Quant à eux, les logements latéraux 29 présentent une forme complémentaire de celle des languettes 38-2 de chacun des moyens d'accroche 38 femelles de la pièce intermédiaire 30 de façon que les logements 29 et les languettes 38-2 coopèrent ensemble pour maintenir la pièce intermédiaire 30 en position dans la base 20.As for them, the side housings 29 have a shape complementary to that of the tongues 38-2 of each of the female hooking means 38 of the intermediate part 30 so that the housings 29 and the tongues 38-2 cooperate together to maintain the intermediate piece 30 in position in the base 20.

La forme non de révolution du centreur 28 et la présence des logements latéraux 29 au niveau de la base 20 permettent - lorsqu'ils coopèrent respectivement avec l'évidement 38-3 et les languettes 38-2 de la pièce intermédiaire 30 - d'éviter toute rotation de la pièce intermédiaire 30 par rapport à la base 20.The non-rotational shape of the centering device 28 and the presence of the lateral housings 29 at the level of the base 20 make it possible - when they cooperate respectively with the recess 38-3 and the tongues 38-2 of the intermediate part 30 - to avoid any rotation of the intermediate part 30 relative to the base 20.

Dans ce premier mode de réalisation, le dispositif 10 comporte avantageusement des moyens de blocage en rotation qui sont en outre formés par le centreur 28.In this first embodiment, the device 10 advantageously comprises means for locking in rotation which are also formed by the centralizer 28.

En variante non représentée, chacun des deux moyens d'accroche 27 situés sur la base 20 est un moyen d'accroche femelle destiné à coopérer avec un des deux moyens d'accroche mâles prévus sur la pièce intermédiaire 30, de manière que la pièce intermédiaire 30 soit solidaire de la base 20 dans les positions de fermeture et d'ouverture du dispositif 10.In a variant not shown, each of the two hooking means 27 located on the base 20 is a female hooking means intended to cooperate with one of the two male hooking means provided on the intermediate piece 30, so that the intermediate piece 30 is integral with the base 20 in the closed and open positions of the device 10.

Selon le trièdre (L, V, T) représenté à la figure 1B, les deux moyens d'accroche 27 sont agencés longitudinalement à gauche et à droite par rapport à la base 20 du dispositif 10. Ainsi, les deux moyens d'accroche 27 sont positionnés à l'opposé l'un de l'autre longitudinalement, diamétralement opposés.According to the trihedron (L, V, T) represented in figure 1B , the two hooking means 27 are arranged longitudinally on the left and on the right relative to the base 20 of the device 10. Thus, the two hooking means 27 are positioned opposite one another longitudinally, diametrically opposed.

Comme illustré aux figures 1B, 2A et 2B, le dispositif 10 comporte une pièce intermédiaire 30 destinée à porter le produit cosmétique P, lequel produit cosmétique P est rendu accessible en position d'ouverture du dispositif 10.As shown in figures 1B , 2A and 2B , the device 10 comprises an intermediate part 30 intended to carry the cosmetic product P, which cosmetic product P is made accessible in the open position of the device 10.

De préférence, la pièce intermédiaire 30 est réalisée en matière plastique choisie notamment dans le groupe comprenant de l'acrylonitrile butadiène styrène (ABS), du polypropylène (PP) ou du styrène-acrylonitrile (SAN). La pièce intermédiaire 30 est fabriquée par moulage.Preferably, the intermediate part 30 is made of a plastic material chosen in particular from the group comprising acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polypropylene (PP) or styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN). The intermediate piece 30 is produced by molding.

Tel qu'illustré aux figures 4A à 4D, la pièce intermédiaire 30 comporte au moins une jante 31 qui comporte une face extérieure 32 et une face intérieure 33.As illustrated in figures 4A to 4D , the intermediate part 30 comprises at least one rim 31 which has an outer face 32 and an inner face 33.

Dans ce premier mode de réalisation, la pièce intermédiaire 30 a globalement la forme d'une roue.In this first embodiment, the intermediate piece 30 has the overall shape of a wheel.

La pièce intermédiaire 30 comporte radialement à l'intérieur des moyens de retenue qui sont destinés à être en prise avec le produit cosmétique P, noyés dans un bloc de produit cosmétique P solide ou pâteux.The intermediate part 30 comprises radially inside retaining means which are intended to be engaged with the cosmetic product P, embedded in a block of solid or pasty cosmetic product P.

La pièce intermédiaire 30 comporte une pluralité de rayons 34 qui se prolongent à partir d'un moyeu 35 pour se terminer à la face intérieure 33 de la jante 31.The intermediate piece 30 comprises a plurality of spokes 34 which extend from a hub 35 to terminate at the inner face 33 of the rim 31.

Les rayons 34 s'étendent à partir du moyeu 35 à des angles égaux pour se relier à la face intérieure 33 de la jante 31, dit autrement les rayons 34 sont répartis circonférentiellement de manière régulière.The spokes 34 extend from the hub 35 at equal angles to connect with the inner face 33 of the rim 31, in other words the spokes 34 are distributed circumferentially in a regular manner.

Les rayons 34 et le moyeu 35 constituent les moyens de retenue destinés à être noyés, après coulage, dans un bloc de produit cosmétique P afin de former un sous-ensemble unitaire.The spokes 34 and the hub 35 constitute the retaining means intended to be embedded, after casting, in a block of cosmetic product P in order to form a unitary sub-assembly.

La largeur des rayons 34 et le diamètre du moyeu 35 sont choisis de manière à créer une zone 36 appropriée sur laquelle le produit cosmétique P est ici coulé. Cette zone 36 sur laquelle le produit cosmétique P est coulé, est circulaire lorsque le dispositif 10 est sensiblement sphérique. Cette zone 36 comprend ainsi une face inférieure 36-1 et une face supérieure 36-2.The width of the spokes 34 and the diameter of the hub 35 are chosen so as to create an appropriate zone 36 onto which the cosmetic product P is poured here. This zone 36 on which the cosmetic product P is poured, is circular when the device 10 is substantially spherical. This zone 36 thus comprises a lower face 36-1 and an upper face 36-2.

Le produit cosmétique P est avantageusement coulé à l'envers sur la zone 36 de la pièce intermédiaire 30, c'est-à-dire qu'il est coulé à partir de la face inférieure 36-1 vers la face supérieure 36-2 de la zone 36, selon une technique de coulage à chaud-versé.The cosmetic product P is advantageously poured upside down on the zone 36 of the intermediate part 30, that is to say it is poured from the lower face 36-1 towards the upper face 36-2 of zone 36, using a hot pouring technique.

Ainsi la présence d'interstices 37 entre les rayons 34 détermine au moins une ouverture permettant le passage du produit cosmétique P à travers la pièce intermédiaire 30 dont les rayons 34 permettent ensuite de retenir le produit cosmétique P solidaire de la pièce intermédiaire 30.Thus the presence of interstices 37 between the spokes 34 determines at least one opening allowing the passage of the cosmetic product P through the intermediate part 30, the spokes 34 of which then make it possible to retain the cosmetic product P integral with the intermediate part 30.

En outre, le long de l'axe vertical V, la zone 36 délimitée par la jante 31 est renfoncée par rapport à la hauteur de la jante 31. La zone 36 se trouve à mi-hauteur de la jante 31. Quant à lui, le moyeu 35, est surélevé le long de l'axe vertical V, c'est-à-dire que en vue de côté tel qu'illustré à la figure 4A, il dépasse au-delà d'une extrémité supérieure de la jante 31 de manière à stabiliser le produit cosmétique P coulé.In addition, along the vertical axis V, the zone 36 delimited by the rim 31 is set back relative to the height of the rim 31. The zone 36 is located at mid-height of the rim 31. For its part, the hub 35, is raised along the vertical axis V, that is to say that in side view as illustrated on figure 4A , it protrudes beyond an upper end of the rim 31 so as to stabilize the cast cosmetic product P.

Dans ce premier exemple de réalisation, la jante 31 et le moyen 35 ne sont par conséquent pas coplanaires et les rayons 34 les reliant présentent une inclinaison suivant la direction verticale.In this first exemplary embodiment, the rim 31 and the means 35 are consequently not coplanar and the spokes 34 connecting them exhibit an inclination in the vertical direction.

En variante, selon un mode de réalisation non illustré, le produit cosmétique P peut être coulé via la face supérieure 36-2 de la zone 36 de la pièce intermédiaire 30. Dans ce cas, la zone 36 délimitée par la jante 31 peut être pleine, c'est-à-dire ne pas comporter de rayons 34. Pour fixer et stabiliser le produit cosmétique P coulé, des petites encoches sont alors présentes au pourtour de la face intérieure 33 de la jante 31.As a variant, according to an embodiment not illustrated, the cosmetic product P can be poured via the upper face 36-2 of the zone 36 of the intermediate part 30. In this case, the zone 36 delimited by the rim 31 can be solid. , that is to say not to include spokes 34. To fix and stabilize the cast cosmetic product P, small notches are then present around the periphery of the inner face 33 of the rim 31.

La pièce intermédiaire 30 comprend en outre au moins deux moyens d'accroche 38 situés sur la face extérieure 32 de la jante 31. Les deux moyens d'accroche 38 prévus sur la pièce intermédiaire 30 sont conçus de manière à assurer la mise en position et le maintien en position de la pièce intermédiaire 30 dans la base 20 d'une part, et à assurer le basculement du capot 40 autour de l'axe de rotation (R) d'autre part, en permettant ainsi le passage de la position d'ouverture à la position de fermeture du dispositif 10, et inversement.The intermediate piece 30 further comprises at least two hooking means 38 located on the outer face 32 of the rim 31. The two hooking means 38 provided on the intermediate piece 30 are designed so as to ensure the positioning and maintaining the intermediate piece 30 in position in the base 20 on the one hand, and ensuring the tilting of the cover 40 around the axis of rotation (R) on the other hand, thus allowing the passage from the open position to the closed position of the device 10, and vice versa.

Chacun des deux moyens d'accroche 38 prévus sur la pièce intermédiaire 30 est un moyen d'accroche femelle. En variante non représentée, chacun des deux moyens d'accroche 38 prévus sur la pièce intermédiaire 30 peut être un moyen d'accroche mâle.Each of the two hooking means 38 provided on the intermediate part 30 is a female hooking means. In a variant not shown, each of the two hooking means 38 provided on the intermediate part 30 can be a male hooking means.

Tel qu'illustré plus particulièrement aux figures 4B et 4D, chacun des deux moyens d'accroche 38 femelle prévus sur la pièce intermédiaire 30 comporte une tête 38-1 et deux languettes 38-2 situées de part et d'autre de la tête 38-1, ainsi qu'un évidement 38-3 découpé dans la matière de la tête 38-1. L'évidement 38-3 est configuré pour accueillir un des deux moyens d'accroche 27 mâles de la base 20, et plus particulièrement le centreur 28 du moyen d'accroche 27 mâle.As illustrated more particularly in figures 4B and 4D , each of the two female hooking means 38 provided on the intermediate part 30 comprises a head 38-1 and two tabs 38-2 located on either side of the head 38-1, as well as a recess 38-3 cut from the material of the head 38-1. The recess 38-3 is configured to accommodate one of the two male hooking means 27 of the base 20, and more particularly the centralizer 28 of the male hooking means 27.

La tête 38-1 des deux moyens d'accroche 38 prévus sur la pièce intermédiaire 30 présente une forme arrondie. De préférence, les deux moyens d'accroche 38 prévus sur la pièce intermédiaire 30 présente une forme d'oméga (Ω).The head 38-1 of the two hooking means 38 provided on the intermediate part 30 has a rounded shape. Preferably, the two hooking means 38 provided on the intermediate part 30 have the shape of an omega (Ω).

La tête 38-1 des deux moyens d'accroche 38 prévus sur la pièce intermédiaire 30 présente une épaisseur, mesurée le long de l'axe longitudinal L, suffisante pour permettre le passage du capot 40.The head 38-1 of the two hooking means 38 provided on the intermediate part 30 has a thickness, measured along the longitudinal axis L, sufficient to allow passage of the cover 40.

L'épaisseur du capot 40 permet à ce dernier de basculer selon un mouvement de rotation autour d'un axe (R) de rotation défini par au moins deux moyens d'accroche 38 situés au niveau de la pièce intermédiaire 30 et formant des moyens d'articulation du capot 40.The thickness of the cover 40 allows the latter to tilt in a rotational movement around an axis (R) of rotation defined by at least two hooking means 38 located at the level of the intermediate part 30 and forming means of hinge of the cover 40.

Plus particulièrement, le basculement par rotation se fait via la tête 38-1 des moyens d'accroche 38 pour que le capot 40 puisse venir se loger dans la base 20 du dispositif 10.More particularly, the tilting by rotation takes place via the head 38-1 of the hooking means 38 so that the cover 40 can be housed in the base 20 of the device 10.

La pièce intermédiaire 30 comporte en outre des moyens de blocage permettant la retenue du capot 40 en position d'ouverture - réciproquement en position de fermeture.The intermediate part 30 further comprises locking means allowing the cover 40 to be retained in the open position - reciprocally in the closed position.

Tel qu'illustré sur les figures 4A à 4E ainsi que 6A, 6B, 7A et 7B, les moyens de blocage sont prévus sous la forme d'au moins une excroissance 39 de matière faisant saillie de la pièce intermédiaire 30.As shown on figures 4A to 4E as well as 6A, 6B, 7A and 7B, the locking means are provided in the form of at least one protuberance 39 of material projecting from the intermediate part 30.

Ladite au moins une excroissance 39 de matière est destinée à venir coopérer avec le capot 40, le passage de la position de fermeture à la position d'ouverture, et inversement, se faisant par un effort limité, exercé sur le capot 40, de manière à débloquer le capot 40 de sa position, avantageusement sans faire appel à un outil extérieur.Said at least one protuberance 39 of material is intended to cooperate with the cover 40, the passage from the closed position to the open position, and vice versa, taking place by a limited force exerted on the cover 40, so in unlocking the cover 40 from its position, advantageously without using an external tool.

Dans ce premier mode de réalisation, la pièce intermédiaire 30 comporte une excroissance 39 de matière qui a globalement la forme d'un crochet tel qu'illustré sur la figure 4E.In this first embodiment, the intermediate piece 30 comprises a protuberance 39 of material which has the overall shape of a hook as illustrated in the figure. figure 4E .

Selon le trièdre (L, V, T) représenté à la figure 1B, les deux moyens d'accroche 38 sont agencés longitudinalement, respectivement à gauche et à droite par rapport à la pièce intermédiaire 30 du dispositif 10, comme le sont les moyens d'accroche 27 par rapport à la base 20. Les deux moyens d'accroche 38 sont ainsi positionnés à l'opposé l'un de l'autre longitudinalement, diamétralement opposés. Quant à elle, l'excroissance 39 de matière fait saillie de la face extérieure 32 de la jante 31, et plus particulièrement l'excroissance 39 de matière est située transversalement à l'arrière de la face extérieure 32 de la jante 31.According to the trihedron (L, V, T) represented in figure 1B , the two attachment means 38 are arranged longitudinally, respectively to the left and to the right relative to the intermediate part 30 of the device 10, as are the attachment means 27 relative to the base 20. The two means of hooks 38 are thus positioned opposite each other longitudinally, diametrically opposed. For its part, the protrusion 39 of material protrudes from the outer face 32 of the rim 31, and more particularly the protrusion 39 of material is located transversely to the rear of the outer face 32 of the rim 31.

Esthétiquement, les languettes 38-2 et les logements latéraux 29 correspondants sont invisibles à l'œil de l'utilisateur au moment de l'utilisation du produit cosmétique P, car ils sont cachés dans la base 20 du dispositif 10.Aesthetically, the tabs 38-2 and the corresponding lateral housings 29 are invisible to the eye of the user when the cosmetic product P is used, because they are hidden in the base 20 of the device 10.

Comme illustré aux figures 1A et 2A, le dispositif 10 comporte un capot 40 qui est monté mobile en rotation sur la pièce intermédiaire 30.As shown in figures 1A and 2A , the device 10 comprises a cover 40 which is mounted movable in rotation on the intermediate part 30.

Le capot 40 est monté articulé de manière à occuper deux positions, une première position, dite de fermeture dispositif 10, dans laquelle la base 20 et le capot 40 définissent un espace sensiblement fermé entre eux et une seconde position, dite d'ouverture du dispositif 10, dans laquelle le capot 40 est escamoté, par un mouvement de rotation autour d'un axe (R) de rotation, à l'intérieur de la base 20.The cover 40 is hinged so as to occupy two positions, a first position, called device closure 10, in which the base 20 and the cover 40 define a substantially closed space between them and a second position, called the opening of the device. 10, in which the cover 40 is retracted, by a rotational movement about an axis (R) of rotation, inside the base 20.

En outre, le capot 40 est configuré pour être bloqué en position d'ouverture et réciproquement en position de fermeture du dispositif 10 de conditionnement.In addition, the cover 40 is configured to be locked in the open position and vice versa in the closed position of the packaging device 10.

De préférence, le capot 40 est réalisé en matière plastique choisie notamment dans le groupe comprenant de l'acrylonitrile butadiène styrène (ABS), du polypropylène (PP) ou du styrène-acrylonitrile (SAN). Le capot 40 est fabriqué par moulage.Preferably, the cover 40 is made of a plastic material chosen in particular from the group comprising acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polypropylene (PP) or styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN). The cover 40 is made by molding.

Tel qu'illustré aux figures 5A à 5C, le capot 40 a sensiblement la forme d'une demi-sphère creuse et présente une face extérieure 41 et une face intérieure 42.As illustrated in figures 5A to 5C , the cover 40 has substantially the shape of a hollow hemisphere and has an outer face 41 and an inner face 42.

Avantageusement, la face intérieure 42 du capot 40 est lisse. La face intérieure 42 est dépourvue de relief de façon à ne pas abimer la surface du produit cosmétique coulé et logé à l'intérieur en position de fermeture du dispositif 10.Advantageously, the inner face 42 of the cover 40 is smooth. The inner face 42 is devoid of relief so as not to damage the surface of the cosmetic product cast and housed inside in the closed position of the device 10.

Toutefois, la face intérieure 42 du capot 40 présente une encoche 47 destinée à recevoir en fin de course du capot 40 l'excroissance 39 de matière en saillie de la pièce intermédiaire 30, de façon à retenir le capot 40 en position d'ouverture.However, the inner face 42 of the cover 40 has a notch 47 intended to receive at the end of the stroke of the cover 40 the protrusion 39 of material projecting from the intermediate part 30, so as to retain the cover 40 in the open position.

Plus particulièrement et tel qu'illustré sur la figure 5C, l'encoche 47 est située sur la face intérieure 42, transversalement à l'avant du capot 40 en position de fermeture du dispositif 10.More particularly and as illustrated on figure 5C , the notch 47 is located on the inner face 42, transversely to the front of the cover 40 in the closed position of the device 10.

La face extérieure 41 peut être lisse ou peut comprendre des reliefs. La face extérieure 41 peut aussi être décorée, c'est-à-dire qu'elle peut comprendre des éléments de personnalisation du dispositif.The outer face 41 can be smooth or can include reliefs. The outer face 41 can also be decorated, that is to say it can include elements for personalizing the device.

Le long de l'axe vertical V, le capot 40 comporte une première extrémité, dite extrémité supérieure 43 du capot 40. Cette extrémité supérieure 43 du capot 40 est fermée.Along the vertical axis V, the cover 40 has a first end, called the upper end 43 of the cover 40. This upper end 43 of the cover 40 is closed.

Le long de l'axe vertical V, le capot 40 comporte une seconde extrémité, dite extrémité inférieure 44 du capot 40. Cette extrémité inférieure 44 du capot 40 est ouverte de façon à pouvoir recouvrir et protéger le produit cosmétique P en position de fermeture du dispositif 10.Along the vertical axis V, the cover 40 has a second end, called the lower end 44 of the cover 40. This lower end 44 of the cover 40 is open so as to be able to cover and protect the cosmetic product P in the closed position of the cover. device 10.

L'encoche 47 est positionnée au voisinage d'un bord 144 de l'extrémité inférieure 44 du capot 40.The notch 47 is positioned in the vicinity of an edge 144 of the lower end 44 of the cover 40.

Près de l'extrémité inférieure 44 du capot 40 et plus particulièrement transversalement à l'avant sur la face extérieure 41 de cette extrémité inférieure 44 du capot 40, on distingue un moyen 45 de préhension destiné à permettre la manipulation du capot 40.Near the lower end 44 of the cover 40 and more particularly transversely to the front on the outer face 41 of this lower end 44 of the cover 40, there is a gripping means 45 intended to allow handling of the cover 40.

Le moyen 45 de préhension est avantageusement utilisé pour faire passer le capot 40 de sa position d'ouverture vers sa position de fermeture, et inversement.The gripping means 45 is advantageously used to cause the cover 40 to pass from its open position to its closed position, and vice versa.

Dans ce premier mode de réalisation, le moyen 45 de préhension formant une poignée prend ici la forme d'un crochet, sensiblement en forme de « L ».In this first embodiment, the gripping means 45 forming a handle here take the form of a hook, substantially in the shape of an “L”.

Le moyen 45 de préhension est apte à venir en appui, ici sur la base 20.The gripping means 45 is able to come to bear, here on the base 20.

Le moyen 45 de préhension est destiné à servir de butée d'arrêt pour bloquer la course du capot 40 en position de fermeture comme en position d'ouverture, par contact avec le bord 123 de la base 20.The gripping means 45 is intended to serve as a stopper to block the travel of the cover 40 in the closed position as in the open position, by contact with the edge 123 of the base 20.

Le capot 40 est configuré pour basculer selon un mouvement de rotation autour d'un axe (R) de rotation défini par au moins deux moyens d'accroche 38 formant les moyens d'articulation situés sur la pièce intermédiaire 30.The cover 40 is configured to tilt according to a rotational movement about an axis (R) of rotation defined by at least two hooking means 38 forming the articulation means located on the intermediate part 30.

Plus particulièrement, le basculement par rotation du capot 40 se fait via la tête 38-1 des moyens d'accroche 38 de manière que le capot 40 puisse venir se loger dans la base 20 du dispositif 10, c'est-à-dire à l'intérieur de la base 20.More particularly, the tilting by rotation of the cover 40 takes place via the head 38-1 of the hooking means 38 so that the cover 40 can be housed in the base 20 of the device 10, that is to say to inside the base 20.

Le capot 40 comporte deux zones de liaison 46. Les deux zones de liaison 46 situées sur le capot 40 présentent chacune une forme complémentaire de celle de la tête 38-1 des moyens 38 d'accroche femelles situés au niveau de la pièce intermédiaire 30, de façon à assurer l'articulation du capot 40 sur la pièce intermédiaire 30 et à permettre le basculement du capot 40 de la position fermée à la position ouverte, et inversement.The cover 40 has two connection zones 46. The two connection zones 46 located on the cover 40 each have a shape complementary to that of the head 38-1 of the female hooking means 38 located at the level of the intermediate part 30, so as to ensure the articulation of the cover 40 on the intermediate part 30 and to allow the tilting of the cover 40 from the closed position to the open position, and vice versa.

Par ailleurs, la forme particulière des moyens d'accroche 38, c'est-à-dire la forme d'oméga (Ω), participe à faciliter à l'assemblage du capot 40 sur les moyens d'accroche 38 de la pièce intermédiaire 30.Furthermore, the particular shape of the hooking means 38, that is to say the omega (Ω) shape, helps to assemble the cover 40 on the hooking means 38 of the intermediate part. 30.

La forme d'oméga (Ω) réduit ainsi les risques de rupture de l'extrémité des zones de liaison 46 situées sur le capot 40 lors de l'insertion des moyens 38 d'accroche dans les zones de liaison 46, tout en permettant l'articulation du capot 40 sur la pièce intermédiaire 30, grâce à la forme arrondie de la tête 38-1 qui vient épouser la forme complémentaire desdites zones de liaison 46 du capot 40.The omega (Ω) shape thus reduces the risk of breaking the end of the connecting zones 46 located on the cover 40 during the insertion of the hooking means 38 in the connecting zones 46, while allowing the articulation of the cover 40 on the intermediate piece 30, thanks to the rounded shape of the head 38-1 which matches the complementary shape of said connecting zones 46 of the cover 40.

Selon le trièdre (L, V, T) représenté à la figure 1B, les deux zones de liaison 46 sont agencées longitudinalement à gauche et à droite par rapport au capot 40 du dispositif 10, comme le sont les moyens d'accroche 27 mâles par rapport à la base 20 et les moyens d'accroche 38 femelles par rapport à la pièce intermédiaire 30.According to the trihedron (L, V, T) represented in figure 1B , the two connection zones 46 are arranged longitudinally to the left and to the right relative to the cover 40 of the device 10, as are the male attachment means 27 relative to the base 20 and the female attachment means 38 relative to to the intermediate piece 30.

Ainsi, les deux zones de liaison 46 sont positionnées à l'opposé l'une de l'autre longitudinalement, diamétralement opposées. Le moyen 45 de préhension est agencé perpendiculairement à l'une ou l'autre des deux zones de liaison 46 sur le capot 40, ici au milieu entre les deux zones de liaison 46.Thus, the two connecting zones 46 are positioned opposite one another longitudinally, diametrically opposed. The gripping means 45 is arranged perpendicularly to one or the other of the two connection zones 46 on the cover 40, here in the middle between the two connection zones 46.

Enfin, l'encoche 47 et l'excroissance 39 de matière sont situées à l'opposé l'une de l'autre, le long de l'axe transversal (T), en position de fermeture du dispositif 10, dit autrement l'encoche 47 et l'excroissance 39 de matière sont diamétralement opposées en position de fermeture du dispositif 10.Finally, the notch 47 and the protuberance 39 of material are located opposite one another, along the transverse axis (T), in the closed position of the device 10, otherwise known as the notch 47 and protrusion 39 of material are diametrically opposed in the closed position of device 10.

Tel qu'illustré aux figures 6A et 6B, en position de fermeture du dispositif, l'excroissance 39 de matière est en butée avec le capot 40.As illustrated in figures 6A and 6B , in the closed position of the device, the protuberance 39 of material is in abutment with the cover 40.

Le capot 40 est ainsi bloqué en position de fermeture grâce à l'excroissance 39 de matière qui coopère avec le capot 40 pour le retenir en position de fermeture. On remarque aussi que l'encoche 47 est située transversalement à l'avant du dispositif 10, sur la face intérieure 42 du capot 40, au voisinage du bord 144.The cover 40 is thus locked in the closed position thanks to the protuberance 39 of material which cooperates with the cover 40 to retain it in the closed position. Note also that the notch 47 is located transversely at the front of the device 10, on the inner face 42 of the cover 40, in the vicinity of the edge 144.

Avantageusement, le passage de la position de fermeture à la position d'ouverture se fait par un effort limité, exercé sur le capot 40, de manière à débloquer le capot 40 de sa position initiale. L'utilisateur débloque le capot 40 par le biais du moyen 45 de préhension situé transversalement à l'avant en position de fermeture du dispositif 10.Advantageously, the passage from the closed position to the open position is effected by a limited force, exerted on the cover 40, so as to unlock the cover 40 from its initial position. The user unlocks the cover 40 by means of the gripping means 45 located transversely to the front in the closed position of the device 10.

Pendant le basculement progressif du capot 40 à l'intérieur de la base 20, de la position de fermeture à la position d'ouverture, l'excroissance 39 de matière, faisant saillie de la pièce intermédiaire 30, est en butée continue avec la face intérieure 42 du capot 40.During the gradual tilting of the cover 40 inside the base 20, from the closed position to the open position, the protrusion 39 of material, projecting from the intermediate piece 30, is in continuous abutment with the face interior 42 of the cover 40.

Ainsi, une contrainte continue est exercée entre l'excroissance 39 de matière et la face intérieure 42 du capot 40, pendant le basculement du capot 40 de la position de fermeture à la position d'ouverture.Thus, a continuous stress is exerted between the protuberance 39 of material and the inner face 42 of the cover 40, during the tilting of the cover 40 from the closed position to the open position.

Lors de la manœuvre du capot 40, entre les positions de fermeture et d'ouverture, l'excroissance 39 de matière coopère avec la face intérieure 42 du capot 40.During the operation of the cover 40, between the closed and open positions, the protuberance 39 of material cooperates with the inner face 42 of the cover 40.

Tel qu'illustré sur la figure 4E, l'excroissance 39 de matière est constituée par une patte réalisée venue de matière à partir de la pièce intermédiaire 30. Ainsi lors le manœuvre du capot 40, une contrainte s'exerce en permanence sur la patte comportant l'excroissance 39 de matière, ladite contrainte cessant de s'exercer lorsque l'une ou l'autre desdites positions de fermeture ou d'ouverture est atteinte par le capot 40.As shown on figure 4E , the protrusion 39 of material is constituted by a tab made integrally from the intermediate part 30. Thus during the operation of the cover 40, a stress is permanently exerted on the tab comprising the protrusion 39 of material, said constraint ceasing to be exerted when one or the other of said closed or open positions is reached by the cover 40.

Grâce à la contrainte, aux frottements, s'exerçant entre l'excroissance 39 de matière et la face intérieure 42 du capot 40, on contrôle le mouvement de basculement du capot 40 lors de son déplacement entre les positions de fermeture et d'ouverture et réciproquement.Thanks to the stress and friction exerted between the protrusion 39 of material and the inner face 42 of the cover 40, the tilting movement of the cover 40 is controlled during its movement between the closed and open positions and reciprocally.

En effet, lorsque la position d'ouverture du capot 40 est atteinte par exemple, l'excroissance 39 de matière est alors reçue dans l'encoche 47 réalisée en creux dans la face intérieure 42 et cesse d'être contrainte.In fact, when the open position of the cover 40 is reached, for example, the protuberance 39 of material is then received in the notch 47 made recessed in the inner face 42 and ceases to be constrained.

Le capot 40 est alors bloqué en position d'ouverture par l'excroissance 39 de matière dès lors que la manœuvre en sens opposé, pour basculer le capot 40 de la position d'ouverture vers la position de fermeture, ne peut s'effectuer qu'en appliquant sur capot 40 un effort suffisant pour faire sortir l'excroissance 39 de matière hors de l'encoche 47 en la mettant à nouveau sous contrainte contre la face intérieure 42 du capot 40.The cover 40 is then blocked in the open position by the protuberance 39 of material when the maneuver in the opposite direction, to switch the cover 40 from the open position to the closed position, can only be carried out. 'by applying on cover 40 a sufficient force to cause the protuberance 39 of material to come out of the notch 47 by putting it again under stress against the inner face 42 of the cover 40.

Bien entendu ce qui vient d'être décrit pour la manœuvre d'ouverture du capot 40 du dispositif 10 vaut également pour la manœuvre de fermeture.Of course, what has just been described for the opening maneuver of the cover 40 of the device 10 also applies to the closing maneuver.

En fin de course d'une manœuvre de fermeture, l'excroissance 39 de matière cesse d'être contrainte lorsqu'elle franchit le bord 144 de l'extrémité inférieure 44 du capot 40 et le blocage du capot 40 est alors obtenu.At the end of the stroke of a closing maneuver, the protrusion 39 of material ceases to be constrained when it crosses the edge 144 of the lower end 44 of the cover 40 and the locking of the cover 40 is then obtained.

En effet, l'utilisateur doit alors d'appliquer un effort suffisant sur le capot 40 pour que l'excroissance 39 de matière franchisse de nouveau le bord 144 du capot 40 et que, en contact avec la face intérieure 42, ladite excroissance 39 de matière porté par la patte soit sous contrainte.Indeed, the user must then apply a sufficient force on the cover 40 so that the protrusion 39 of material crosses again the edge 144 of the cover 40 and that, in contact with the inner face 42, said protuberance 39 of material carried by the leg is under stress.

Tel qu'illustré aux figures 7A et 7B, en position d'ouverture complète, c'est-à-dire lorsque le capot 40 a terminé sa course et est escamoté à l'intérieur de la base 20, le moyen 45 de préhension détermine l'arrêt de la course du capot 40 en venant s'appuyer à l'arrière du dispositif sur le bord 123 de la base 20.As illustrated in figures 7A and 7B , in the fully open position, that is to say when the cover 40 has finished its stroke and is retracted inside the base 20, the gripping means 45 determines the stopping of the stroke of the cover 40 by coming to rest at the rear of the device on the edge 123 of the base 20.

L'excroissance 39 de matière, qui n'est plus en butée contre la face intérieure 42 du capot 40, est alors située à l'intérieur de l'encoche 47 qui permet de bloquer le capot 40 en position d'ouverture.The protrusion 39 of material, which is no longer in abutment against the inner face 42 of the cover 40, is then located inside the notch 47 which allows the cover 40 to be blocked in the open position.

Pour effectuer le passage de la position d'ouverture à la position de fermeture, l'utilisateur doit appliquer un effort préférentiellement par le biais du moyen 45 de préhension pour débloquer le capot 40, c'est-à-dire pour provoquer la sortie de l'excroissance 39 de matière hors de l'encoche 47.To effect the passage from the open position to the closed position, the user must apply a force preferably by means of the gripping means 45 to unlock the cover 40, that is to say to cause the exit of the protuberance 39 of material out of the notch 47.

L'excroissance 39 de matière est alors de nouveau en butée continue avec la face intérieure 42 du capot 40, jusqu'à ce que le moyen 45 préhension vienne en appui à l'avant du dispositif sur le bord 123 de la base 20.The protuberance 39 of material is then again in continuous abutment with the inner face 42 of the cover 40, until the gripping means 45 comes to bear at the front of the device on the edge 123 of the base 20.

A ce moment l'excroissance 39 de matière reprend sa position de départ, c'est-à-dire qu'elle est en butée avec le capot 40, tel qu'illustré aux figures 6A et 6B, positionnée sous le bord 144 du capot 40.At this moment the protuberance 39 of material resumes its starting position, that is to say that it is in abutment with the cover 40, as illustrated in figures 6A and 6B , positioned under the edge 144 of the cover 40.

Dans ce premier mode de réalisation, le capot 40 est par conséquent susceptible d'occuper au moins une position intermédiaire entre lesdites positions de fermeture et d'ouverture.In this first embodiment, the cover 40 is consequently capable of occupying at least one intermediate position between said closed and open positions.

La position intermédiaire est une position stable, le capot 40 étant maintenu en position par friction en raison de l'effort appliqué par l'excroissance 39 contre la face intérieure 42 du capot 40.The intermediate position is a stable position, the cover 40 being held in position by friction due to the force applied by the protuberance 39 against the inner face 42 of the cover 40.

On décrira ci-après un deuxième mode de réalisation selon l'invention d'un dispositif 10 de conditionnement pour produit cosmétique P, notamment pour produit cosmétique solide ou pâteux.A second embodiment according to the invention of a device 10 for packaging a cosmetic product P, in particular for a solid or pasty cosmetic product, will be described below.

La description de ce deuxième mode de réalisation illustré sur les figures 8 et suivantes sera avantageusement effectuée par comparaison avec celle du premier mode de réalisation de sorte que les mêmes références désignent des éléments présentant une structure ou une fonction identique.The description of this second embodiment illustrated in the figures 8 and subsequent ones will be advantageously carried out by comparison with that of the first embodiment so that the same references designate elements having an identical structure or function.

Le dispositif 10 de conditionnement pour produit cosmétique P comporte principalement une base 20, une pièce intermédiaire 30 et un capot 40 notamment illustré en éclaté sur la figure 10.The device 10 for packaging a cosmetic product P mainly comprises a base 20, an intermediate part 30 and a cover 40 in particular illustrated in exploded view on the figure 10 .

La pièce intermédiaire 30 est destinée à former un support pour le produit cosmétique P, par exemple un bloc avec lequel la pièce intermédiaire 30 forme après coulage du produit un sous-ensemble unitaire.The intermediate part 30 is intended to form a support for the cosmetic product P, for example a block with which the intermediate part 30 forms, after casting of the product, a unitary sub-assembly.

La pièce intermédiaire 30 est montée solidaire de la base 20. Dans ce deuxième mode de réalisation, les moyens de fixation intervenant entre la pièce intermédiaire 30 et la base 20 sont réalisés sous la forme d'un emboîtement élastique ou « clipsage ».The intermediate part 30 is mounted integral with the base 20. In this second embodiment, the fixing means intervening between the intermediate part 30 and the base 20 are produced in the form of an elastic interlocking or “clipping”.

A son extrémité supérieure 23, la base 20 comporte un bord 123 muni d'au moins un bourrelet 127 annulaire qui s'étend en saillie vers l'extérieur à partir de la face extérieure 21. Tel qu'illustré notamment sur la figure 10, le bourrelet 127 est ici circonférentiellement continu, en variante discontinu. Le bord 123 comporte encore un épaulement 124 ménagé dans la face extérieure 21.At its upper end 23, the base 20 has an edge 123 provided with at least one annular bead 127 which projects outwardly from the outer face 21. As illustrated in particular on FIG. figure 10 , the bead 127 is here circumferentially continuous, in a discontinuous variant. The edge 123 also includes a shoulder 124 formed in the outer face 21.

Le bourrelet 127 constitue un moyen d'accroche de type mâle qui est destiné à coopérer avec un moyen d'accroche de type femelle complémentaire, ici une rainure 138.The bead 127 constitutes a male-type attachment means which is intended to cooperate with a complementary female-type attachment means, here a groove 138.

La pièce intermédiaire 30 comporte ainsi au moins une rainure 138 formant un moyen d'accroche de type femelle. Bien entendu, les moyens d'accroche pourraient être inversés de sorte que la base 20 comporte le moyen d'accroche de type mâle, tel qu'un bourrelet, et que le moyen d'accroche de type femelle tel qu'une rainure soit ménagé sur la pièce intermédiaire 30.The intermediate piece 30 thus comprises at least one groove 138 forming a female-type hooking means. Of course, the hooking means could be reversed so that the base 20 comprises the hooking means of the male type, such as a bead, and that the hooking means of the female type such as a groove is provided. on the intermediate piece 30.

Dans ce deuxième mode de réalisation, la pièce intermédiaire 30 présente une conception différente de celle du premier mode de réalisation. La pièce intermédiaire 30 comporte deux jantes concentriques, respectivement une jante extérieure 131 et une jante intérieure 231.In this second embodiment, the intermediate piece 30 has a design different from that of the first embodiment. The intermediate part 30 comprises two concentric rims, respectively an outer rim 131 and an inner rim 231.

La jante extérieure 131 comporte respectivement une face extérieure 132 et une face intérieure 133 tandis que la jante intérieure 231 comporte une face extérieure 232 et une face intérieure 233.The outer rim 131 comprises respectively an outer face 132 and an inner face 133 while the inner rim 231 has an outer face 232 and an inner face 233.

La rainure 138 est ménagée dans la face intérieure 133 de la jante extérieure 131. Lorsque la pièce intermédiaire 30 et la base 20 sont assemblées par emboîtement élastique, le bourrelet 127 de la base 20 est alors reçu dans la rainure 138.The groove 138 is made in the inner face 133 of the outer rim 131. When the intermediate part 30 and the base 20 are assembled by elastic interlocking, the bead 127 of the base 20 is then received in the groove 138.

Avantageusement, la fixation de la pièce intermédiaire 30 sur la base 20 réalisée ici par emboîtement élastique est une opération réversible, autorisant un démontage ultérieur. Un tel démontage peut par exemple permettre de changer la pièce intermédiaire 30 portant le produit cosmétique P, notamment dans le but de recharger le dispositif 10 lorsque le produit cosmétique P a été totalement utilisé.Advantageously, the fixing of the intermediate piece 30 on the base 20 produced here by elastic interlocking is a reversible operation, allowing subsequent dismantling. Such disassembly can for example make it possible to change the intermediate part 30 carrying the cosmetic product P, in particular for the purpose of recharging the device 10 when the cosmetic product P has been completely used.

Par comparaison avec le premier mode, la pièce intermédiaire 30 et la base 20 ne sont ici pas bloquées en rotation l'une par rapport à l'autre. Tel qu'indiqué précédemment, le blocage en rotation de la pièce intermédiaire 30 relativement à la base 20 peut résulter du choix des moyens de fixation ou être obtenu par des moyens distincts.By comparison with the first embodiment, the intermediate part 30 and the base 20 are not here locked in rotation with respect to one another. As indicated above, the locking in rotation of the intermediate part 30 relative to the base 20 may result from the choice of the fixing means or be obtained by separate means.

La jante extérieure 131 est agencée à l'extérieur de la base 20, se positionne au niveau du bord 123 de la base 20, tandis que la jante intérieure 231 s'étend radialement à l'intérieur de la base 20.The outer rim 131 is arranged outside the base 20, is positioned at the level of the edge 123 of the base 20, while the inner rim 231 extends radially inside the base 20.

La jante extérieure 131 forme avantageusement une ceinture qui entoure l'extrémité supérieure 23 de la base 20.The outer rim 131 advantageously forms a belt which surrounds the upper end 23 of the base 20.

Le capot 40 est monté articulé sur la pièce intermédiaire 30, ledit capot 40 est monté mobile en rotation autour de l'axe R de rotation qui s'étend suivant la direction longitudinale du trièdre (L, V, T).The cover 40 is mounted articulated on the intermediate part 30, said cover 40 is mounted to be movable in rotation about the axis R of rotation which extends in the longitudinal direction of the trihedron (L, V, T).

Dans ce deuxième mode, la jante extérieure 131 et la jante intérieure 231 de la pièce intermédiaire 30 sont reliées l'une à l'autre au moins par des moyens d'articulation. Les moyens d'articulation sont formés par deux tourillons 238 qui déterminent ledit axe R de rotation du capot 40.In this second embodiment, the outer rim 131 and the inner rim 231 of the intermediate part 30 are connected to each other at least by means articulation. The articulation means are formed by two journals 238 which determine said axis R of rotation of the cover 40.

Comme dans le premier mode de réalisation, le capot 40 comporte deux zones de liaison 46 qui sont destinées à venir se monter sur les tourillons 238 pour assurer le montage en rotation du capot 40 selon l'axe R.As in the first embodiment, the cover 40 comprises two connecting zones 46 which are intended to be mounted on the journals 238 to ensure the rotational mounting of the cover 40 along the axis R.

Avantageusement, la jante extérieure 131 de la pièce intermédiaire 30 comporte deux flasques 135 agencés au niveau des tourillons 238 et destinés chacun à masquer esthétiquement, après montage du capot 40 sur la pièce intermédiaire 30, l'une desdites zones de liaison 46.Advantageously, the outer rim 131 of the intermediate part 30 comprises two flanges 135 arranged at the level of the journals 238 and each intended to aesthetically mask, after mounting the cover 40 on the intermediate part 30, one of said connecting zones 46.

La jante extérieure 131 et la jante intérieure 231 de la pièce intermédiaire 30 délimitent entre elles une ouverture 140 configurée pour permettre le passage du capot 40, notamment son escamotage à l'intérieur de la base 20 lors d'une manœuvre d'ouverture, depuis la position de fermeture jusqu'à la position d'ouverture du dispositif 10.The outer rim 131 and the inner rim 231 of the intermediate piece 30 define between them an opening 140 configured to allow the passage of the cover 40, in particular its retraction inside the base 20 during an opening maneuver, from the closed position up to the open position of the device 10.

Tel qu'illustré sur la coupe de la figure 21, la jante extérieure 131 et la jante intérieure 231 de la pièce intermédiaire 30 ne sont pas coplanaires, la jante intérieure 231 étant décalée verticalement vers le haut par rapport à la jante extérieure 131.As shown in the section of the figure 21 , the outer rim 131 and the inner rim 231 of the intermediate part 30 are not coplanar, the inner rim 231 being offset vertically upwards with respect to the outer rim 131.

Tel qu'illustré sur les figures 8 et 9, le capot 40 est susceptible d'occuper au moins deux positions :

  • une première position, dite de fermeture du dispositif 10, dans laquelle la base 20 et le capot 40 définissent un espace sensiblement fermé entre eux et qui est notamment illustré sur les figures 11 et 13, et
  • une seconde position, dite d'ouverture du dispositif 10, dans laquelle le capot 40 est escamoté à l'intérieur de la base 20 et qui est notamment illustré sur les figures 15 et 17.
As shown on figures 8 and 9 , the cover 40 is capable of occupying at least two positions:
  • a first position, called the closing position of the device 10, in which the base 20 and the cover 40 define a space which is substantially closed between them and which is particularly illustrated on the figures 11 and 13 , and
  • a second position, called the opening of the device 10, in which the cover 40 is retracted inside the base 20 and which is particularly illustrated on the figures 15 and 17 .

Le capot 40 est configuré pour être bloqué en position d'ouverture, réciproquement en position de fermeture, par l'intermédiaire de moyens de blocage. Les moyens de bocage portés par la pièce intermédiaire 30 sont destinés à coopérer avec ledit capot 40 afin d'en assurer sélectivement le blocage en position.The cover 40 is configured to be locked in the open position, conversely in the closed position, by means of locking means. The bocage means carried by the intermediate part 30 are intended to cooperate with said cover 40 in order to selectively lock it in position.

Selon l'invention, les moyens de blocage comportent au moins une excroissance 39 de matière faisant saillie de la pièce intermédiaire 30.According to the invention, the locking means comprise at least one protuberance 39 of material projecting from the intermediate part 30.

Plus précisément, ladite au moins une excroissance 39 s'étend en saillie à partir de la face intérieure 133 de la jante extérieure 131 de la pièce intermédiaire 30.More precisely, said at least one protuberance 39 protrudes from the inner face 133 of the outer rim 131 of the intermediate part 30.

Par comparaison avec le premier mode de réalisation, ladite au moins une excroissance 39 de matière n'est ici pas en contact avec la face intérieure 42 du capot 40 lors des manœuvres d'ouverture ou de fermeture de sorte que le capot 40 est libre entre lesdites positions de fermeture et d'ouverture.By comparison with the first embodiment, said at least one protuberance 39 of material is here not in contact with the inner face 42 of the cover 40 during opening or closing maneuvers so that the cover 40 is free between said closed and open positions.

Avantageusement, les moyens d'articulation du capot 40 sont configurés pour permettre d'en contrôler le basculement et de manière que le mouvement s'effectue progressivement. Les moyens d'articulation du capot 40 formés en outre par chaque zone de liaison 46 engagée sur un tourillon 238 sont par exemple configurés pour obtenir un frottement de manière à éviter tout basculement brusque du capot 40.Advantageously, the hinge means of the cover 40 are configured to make it possible to control its tilting and so that the movement takes place gradually. The hinge means of the cover 40 further formed by each connection zone 46 engaged on a journal 238 are for example configured to obtain friction so as to avoid any sudden tilting of the cover 40.

Grâce à l'intégration d'un frottement maîtrisé au niveau des moyens d'articulation du capot 40 sur la pièce intermédiaire 30, on peut contrôler (comme dans le premier mode de réalisation) le mouvement de basculement du capot 40 lors de son déplacement entre les positions de fermeture et d'ouverture et réciproquement.Thanks to the integration of a controlled friction at the level of the articulation means of the cover 40 on the intermediate part 30, it is possible to control (as in the first embodiment) the tilting movement of the cover 40 during its movement between the closed and open positions and vice versa.

Avantageusement, le dispositif 10 comporte des moyens 146 de guidage pour guider le capot 40 lors de son déplacement entre lesdites positions de fermeture et d'ouverture, et inversement.Advantageously, the device 10 comprises guide means 146 for guiding the cover 40 during its movement between said closed and open positions, and vice versa.

Les moyens 146 de guidage sont agencés au niveau des moyens d'articulation du capot 40 sur la pièce intermédiaire 30.The guide means 146 are arranged at the level of the hinge means of the cover 40 on the intermediate part 30.

De préférence, les moyens 146 de guidage sont agencés à l'intérieur des flasques 135 que comporte la jante extérieure 131 de la pièce intermédiaire 30. Les moyens 146 de guidage sont configurés pour coopérer avec les zones de liaison 46 que comporte le capot 40.Preferably, the guide means 146 are arranged inside the flanges 135 that the outer rim 131 of the intermediate part 30 comprises. The guide means 146 are configured to cooperate with the connection zones 46 that the cover 40 comprises.

Plus particulièrement visibles sur la figure 19, les moyens 146 de guidage présentent une forme globalement circulaire et sont reçus à l'intérieur de moyens 246 complémentaires ménagés dans lesdites zones de liaison 46 et qui sont plus particulièrement visibles sur la figure 23. Les moyens 246 complémentaires délimitent intérieurement une piste avec laquelle coopèrent lesdits moyens 146 de guidage de forme circulaire.More particularly visible on the figure 19 , the guide means 146 have a generally circular shape and are received inside means 246 complementary provided in said connecting zones 46 and which are more particularly visible on the figure 23 . The complementary means 246 internally define a track with which the said circular guiding means 146 cooperate.

Dans le deuxième mode de réalisation, ladite au moins une excroissance 39 de matière est globalement circonférentiellement quasi continue, en effet l'excroissance 39 est uniquement interrompue au niveau des moyens d'articulation du capot 40 avec la pièce intermédiaire 30.In the second embodiment, said at least one protuberance 39 of material is generally circumferentially almost continuous, in fact the protrusion 39 is only interrupted at the level of the means of articulation of the cover 40 with the intermediate part 30.

Ladite au moins une excroissance 39 de matière faisant saillie à partir de la face intérieure 133 de la jante extérieure 131 coopère avec le capot 40 pour bloquer ledit capot 40, respectivement en position de fermeture et en position d'ouverture.Said at least one protuberance 39 of material projecting from the inner face 133 of the outer rim 131 cooperates with the cover 40 to lock said cover 40, respectively in the closed position and in the open position.

Dans le deuxième mode de réalisation, ladite au moins une excroissance 39 de matière va venir en prise avec des moyens complémentaires solidaires du capot 40. De préférence, lesdits moyens complémentaires de l'excroissance 39 sont également formés par une excroissance de matière.In the second embodiment, said at least one protuberance 39 of material will engage with complementary means integral with the cover 40. Preferably, said complementary means of the protuberance 39 are also formed by a protuberance of material.

Le capot 40 comporte au moins un premier ergot 147 avec lequel ladite au moins une excroissance 39 de matière de la pièce intermédiaire 30 est destinée à coopérer pour bloquer ledit capot 40 en position d'ouverture.The cover 40 comprises at least a first lug 147 with which said at least one protuberance 39 of material from the intermediate part 30 is intended to cooperate to lock said cover 40 in the open position.

Le capot 40 comporte au moins un deuxième ergot 247 avec lequel ladite au moins une excroissance 39 de matière de la pièce intermédiaire 30 est destinée à coopérer pour bloquer ledit capot 40 en position de fermeture.The cover 40 comprises at least one second lug 247 with which said at least one protuberance 39 of material from the intermediate part 30 is intended to cooperate to lock said cover 40 in the closed position.

En variante non représentée, l'excroissance 39 de matière faisant saillie à partir de la pièce intermédiaire 30 coopère avec des moyens complémentaires, tels que des encoches, formés en creux dans la surface externe 41 du capot 40.In a variant not shown, the protrusion 39 of material protruding from the intermediate part 30 cooperates with complementary means, such as notches, formed recessed in the outer surface 41 of the cover 40.

Comme dans le premier mode, le capot 40 comporte un moyen 45 de préhension pour permettre la manipulation du capot 40 de manière à le faire passer de sa position d'ouverture vers sa position de fermeture, et inversement.As in the first embodiment, the cover 40 comprises a gripping means 45 to enable the handling of the cover 40 so as to cause it to pass from its open position to its closed position, and vice versa.

Avantageusement, ledit moyen 45 de préhension constitue une butée d'arrêt pour bloquer la course du capot 40 en position de fermeture et en position d'ouverture tel qu'illustré sur les figures 8 et 13 ainsi que 9 et 17.Advantageously, said gripping means 45 constitutes a stopper for blocking the stroke of the cover 40 in the closed position and in the open position as illustrated in the figures. figures 8 and 13 as well as 9 and 17.

Le moyen 45 de préhension est configuré pour assurer une telle fonction de butée d'arrêt et coopère alors avec un bord 145 de la jante extérieure 131 de la pièce intermédiaire 30 (et non avec le bord 123 de la base 20 comme dans le premier mode de réalisation).The gripping means 45 is configured to provide such a stopper function and then cooperates with an edge 145 of the outer rim 131 of the intermediate piece 30 (and not with the edge 123 of the base 20 as in the first embodiment. achievement).

En effet, tel que décrit précédemment, la pièce intermédiaire 30 est montée par emboîtement sur la base 20 de manière que la jante extérieure 131 recouvre le bord 123 de la base 20.Indeed, as described above, the intermediate piece 30 is mounted by interlocking on the base 20 so that the outer rim 131 covers the edge 123 of the base 20.

Le premier ergot 147 et le deuxième ergot 247 du capot 40 sont agencés verticalement de part et d'autre dudit moyen 45 de préhension formant une poignée permettant de manœuvrer le capot 40. Le premier ergot 147 et le deuxième ergot 247 du capot 40 sont plus particulièrement visibles sur les figures 23 et 24.The first lug 147 and the second lug 247 of the cover 40 are arranged vertically on either side of said gripping means 45 forming a handle making it possible to maneuver the cover 40. The first lug 147 and the second lug 247 of the cover 40 are more particularly visible on figures 23 and 24 .

Lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite ouvrir le dispositif 10, le capot 40 est manœuvré par l'intermédiaire du moyen 45 de préhension depuis la position de fermeture vers la position d'ouverture du capot 40.When the user wishes to open the device 10, the cover 40 is operated by means of the gripping means 45 from the closed position towards the open position of the cover 40.

Pour cela, l'utilisateur doit appliquer un effort pour faire franchir, au deuxième ergot 247 du capot 40, l'excroissance 39 de matière de la pièce intermédiaire 30 qui assurait jusqu'alors le blocage du capot 40 en position de fermeture.For this, the user must apply a force to pass, at the second lug 247 of the cover 40, the protuberance 39 of material of the intermediate part 30 which hitherto ensured the locking of the cover 40 in the closed position.

Le capot 40 est ensuite basculé vers l'arrière, entraîné en rotation par l'utilisateur autour des tourillons 238 jusqu'à atteindre la position d'ouverture lorsque le premier ergot 147 franchît l'excroissance 39 afin de bloquer le capot 40 en position d'ouverture.The cover 40 is then tilted backwards, driven in rotation by the user around the pins 238 until it reaches the open position when the first lug 147 crosses the protuberance 39 in order to lock the cover 40 in position d. 'opening.

Pour que le capot 40 puisse quitter la position d'ouverture, l'utilisateur doit appliquer un effort approprié pour que le premier ergot 147 franchisse à nouveau l'excroissance 39 en sens opposé, le capot 40 pouvant ensuite être manœuvré librement jusqu'à la position de fermeture.So that the cover 40 can leave the open position, the user must apply an appropriate force so that the first lug 147 crosses the protuberance 39 again in the opposite direction, the cover 40 then being able to be operated freely up to the closed position.

La pièce intermédiaire 30 comporte des moyens 134 de retenue qui, destinés à être en prise avec le produit cosmétique P, s'étendent radialement à l'intérieur de la pièce intermédiaire 30 en délimitant entre eux au moins une ouverture 137 afin de permettre un coulage dudit produit cosmétique P.The intermediate part 30 comprises retaining means 134 which, intended to be engaged with the cosmetic product P, extend radially inside the intermediate part 30, delimiting at least one opening 137 between them in order to allow casting. of said cosmetic product P.

A l'opposé de l'extrémité reliée à la jante intérieure 231, l'autre extrémité de chaque bras 134 est libre de sorte que les bras 134 délimitent entre eux et centralement différents interstices formant ensemble ladite au moins une ouverture 137 destinée à permettre le coulage du produit cosmétique P.Opposite the end connected to the inner rim 231, the other end of each arm 134 is free so that the arms 134 define between them and centrally different interstices together forming said at least one opening 137 intended to allow the pouring of the cosmetic product P.

En l'absence de moyeu 35 comme dans le premier mode, l'ouverture 137 s'étend ici au centre de la pièce intermédiaire 30 ainsi qu'entre chacun des bras 134, ladite ouverture 137 de passage présentant ici globalement une forme de « croix » telle qu'illustrée en vue de dessus par la figure 20.In the absence of a hub 35 as in the first embodiment, the opening 137 extends here in the center of the intermediate piece 30 as well as between each of the arms 134, the said passage opening 137 here generally having the shape of a "cross. »As illustrated in top view by figure 20 .

Avantageusement, les bras 134 sont munis d'au moins une nervure 234, de préférence deux nervures 234 qui s'étendent verticalement à partir d'une face inférieure 236 de chaque bras 134.Advantageously, the arms 134 are provided with at least one rib 234, preferably two ribs 234 which extend vertically from a lower face 236 of each arm 134.

De préférence, les bras 134 s'étendent suivant un profil curviligne globalement en forme de « S ».Preferably, the arms 134 extend in a generally “S” shaped curvilinear profile.

Selon une variante non représentée du deuxième mode de réalisation, la pièce intermédiaire 30 comporte au moins une excroissance 39 qui est solidaire la jante intérieure 231. Ladite au moins excroissance 39 s'étend alors en saillie à partir de la face extérieure 232 de la jante intérieure 231.According to a variant not shown of the second embodiment, the intermediate part 30 comprises at least one protuberance 39 which is integral with the inner rim 231. Said at least protuberance 39 then protrudes from the outer face 232 of the rim. interior 231.

De préférence, ladite au moins une excroissance 39 n'est pas circonférentiellement quasi-continue sur l'ensemble du pourtour de la jante intérieure 231 mais réalisée sous la forme d'un plot, situé avantageusement à l'extrémité libre d'une patte comme dans le premier mode de réalisation.Preferably, said at least one protuberance 39 is not circumferentially quasi-continuous over the entire periphery of the inner rim 231 but produced in the form of a stud, advantageously located at the free end of a lug as in the first embodiment.

Dans une telle variante, l'excroissance 39 peut être ou non en contact permanent, c'est-à-dire sous contrainte, avec la face intérieure 42 du capot 40 lorsque ledit capot 40 est manœuvré entre les positions de fermeture et d'ouverture comme décrit précédemment pour le premier mode de réalisation.In such a variant, the protuberance 39 may or may not be in permanent contact, that is to say under stress, with the inner face 42 of the cover 40 when said cover 40 is operated between the closed and open positions. as described above for the first embodiment.

Dans cette variante, le capot 40 comporte une partie complémentaire de ladite au moins une excroissance 39 pour former les moyens de blocage du capot 40 dans la position de fermeture et dans la position d'ouverture.In this variant, the cover 40 comprises a complementary part of said at least one protuberance 39 to form the means for locking the cover 40 in the closed position and in the open position.

De préférence, le capot 40 comporte alors au moins une encoche ménagée dans la face intérieure 42 et dans laquelle vient s'engager l'excroissance 39 pour assurer le blocage en position du capot 40.Preferably, the cover 40 then comprises at least one notch formed in the inner face 42 and in which the protuberance 39 engages to ensure the locking in position of the cover 40.

Le capot 40 peut par exemple comporter deux encoches réalisées dans la face intérieure 42, lesdites encoches étant diamétralement opposées, ici selon la direction transversale, étant respectivement associées au blocage du capot 40 dans l'une desdites positions de fermeture et d'ouverture.The cover 40 may for example comprise two notches made in the inner face 42, said notches being diametrically opposed, here in the transverse direction, being respectively associated with the locking of the cover 40 in one of said closed and open positions.

La partie complémentaire des moyens de blocage coopérant avec l'excroissance 39 selon une telle variante n'est alors avantageusement pas visible en position de fermeture du capot 40 comme le sont par comparaison dans le deuxième mode de réalisation les ergots 147 et 247 présents sur la face extérieure 41, au voisinage du moyen 45 de préhension.The complementary part of the blocking means cooperating with the protuberance 39 according to such a variant is then advantageously not visible in the closed position of the cover 40 as are by comparison in the second embodiment the pins 147 and 247 present on the outer face 41, in the vicinity of the gripping means 45.
