Abstract

The invention concerns a refill (2) intended to be inserted into a makeup case (1). The refill (2) comprises a vessel containing a liquid makeup, the vessel comprising a tank (6) comprising an open top face forming an opening for dispensing the makeup. The tank (6) is delimited by a side wall (18) in line with the opening and a bottom (22) of the tank. The refill (2) comprises an absorbent complex (7) in the tank (6). The vessel further comprises at least one additional volume (13) outside the tank (6), in fluid communication with the inside of said tank (6). This helps optimise the volume available for containing a liquid make-up, while allowing the latter to be effectively retained in the refill. The invention also concerns an assembly comprising a case (1) and such a refill (2).

Description

Recharge pour boîtier de maquillage liquide et ensemble  Refill for liquid makeup case and set
comportant un boîtier et une telle recharge  having a case and such a refill
La présente invention concerne le domaine des contenants pour maquillage liquide. Elle porte en particulier sur le domaine des recharges de maquillage liquide pour boîtiers pour maquillage et des boîtiers pour maquillage liquide. The present invention relates to the field of liquid makeup containers. It relates in particular to the field of liquid make-up refills for make-up cases and cases for liquid make-up.
Elle concerne par exemple les boîtiers destinés à contenir et délivrer un maquillage sous forme liquide permettant à l’utilisatrice ou l’utilisateur de transporter son maquillage dans un sac à main ou une poche afin de se maquiller tout au long de la journée. On désignera dans la suite du présent document l’utilisateur ou l’utilisatrice par le terme « utilisatrice ».  For example, it relates to housings for containing and delivering makeup in liquid form allowing the user to carry his makeup in a purse or pocket to make up all day long. In the remainder of this document, the term "user" is used to refer to the user.
De même, le terme maquillage liquide doit être compris dans un sens large, et peut désigner par exemple un fond de teint fluide, un maquillage pour le contour des yeux désigné communément par le terme anglophone « eye-liner », une ombre à paupières, ou un rouge à lèvres fluide. Le terme maquillage peut également désigner une formule de soin liquide, une crème liquide pour le visage ou les yeux, une lotion.  Similarly, the term liquid make-up must be understood in a broad sense, and may for example denote a fluid foundation, a make-up for the eye contour commonly referred to by the English term "eyeliner", an eye shadow, or a fluid lipstick. The term makeup may also refer to a liquid care formula, a liquid cream for the face or eyes, a lotion.
Ces boîtiers sont de petite taille afin d’être facilement transportables. Ils doivent être parfaitement étanches au produit qu’ils contiennent lorsqu’ils sont fermés, et doivent être simples d’utilisation, notamment en permettant la délivrance et l’application aisée de maquillage liquide. These housings are small in size to be easily transportable. They must be perfectly tight to the product they contain when they are closed, and must be easy to use, in particular by allowing the delivery and the easy application of liquid makeup.
Les boîtiers ont également une fonction esthétique importante. Ils peuvent avoir vocation à être réutilisés lorsqu’ils sont vides.  The housings also have an important aesthetic function. They may be intended to be reused when they are empty.
A cette fin, les boîtiers connus dans l’état de la technique contiennent une recharge. Cette recharge est clipsée dans le fond du boîtier et permet d'assurer la protection, l'étanchéité, et la distribution du produit pour l'utilisatrice.  For this purpose, the housings known in the state of the art contain a refill. This refill is clipped into the bottom of the housing and ensures the protection, sealing, and distribution of the product for the user.
Une telle recharge est réalisée avec des matériaux compatibles des produits qu’elle contient. Elle comporte une cuve qui contient le maquillage liquide et un couvercle permettant l’obturation étanche de la cuve. Un dispositif permet la distribution ou délivrance de maquillage. Such a refill is made with compatible materials of the products it contains. It comprises a tank which contains the liquid makeup and a lid for sealing the tank. A device allows the dispensing or delivery of makeup.
Divers types de dispositifs permettant la délivrance du maquillage qui est sous forme liquide ont été envisagés dans l’état de la technique.  Various types of devices for dispensing makeup that is in liquid form have been envisaged in the state of the art.
Certaines recharges comportent un complexe absorbant, à savoir une éponge. Dans ces recharges, le produit, c’est-à-dire le maquillage liquide, est imbibé dans une éponge qui est maintenue dans le fond de la recharge à l'aide d'un anneau de maintien.  Some refills have an absorbent complex, namely a sponge. In these refills, the product, that is to say the liquid makeup, is soaked in a sponge which is held in the bottom of the refill using a holding ring.
Cet anneau supporte une étiquette de protection qui est ôtée par l’utilisatrice à la première utilisation. L'étanchéité est ensuite assurée par le couvercle de la recharge. La distribution du produit se fait en imbibant un applicateur telle qu’une houppette ou un doigt de l’utilisatrice par pression sur l'éponge, afin qu’elle restitue le produit qu’elle contient dans ses alvéoles.  This ring supports a protection label that is removed by the user at the first use. The seal is then ensured by the lid of the refill. The product is dispensed by soaking an applicator such as a powder puff or a finger of the user by pressure on the sponge, so that it returns the product it contains in its cells.
Cette première solution permet de contenir et délivrer des produits très fluides.  This first solution can contain and deliver very fluid products.
Néanmoins l'éponge occupe un certain volume à l'intérieur de la recharge, au détriment de la capacité de stockage du produit contenu. Pour un volume de produit restituable donné, la recharge et le boîtier doivent être plus grands qu’en l’absence d’éponge. Ceci va à l'encontre de la transportabilité du produit.  Nevertheless, the sponge occupies a certain volume inside the refill, to the detriment of the storage capacity of the contained product. For a given volume of returnable product, the refill and the case must be larger than in the absence of sponge. This goes against the transportability of the product.
Une recharge pour maquillage liquide comportant une éponge est notamment divulguée dans le document JP2008178463.  A refill for liquid make-up comprising a sponge is disclosed in particular in document JP2008178463.
Selon ce même principe, le boîtier pour maquillage peut comporter, outre la cuve de la recharge, des récipients ou recharges secondaires pour contenir d’autres compositions cosmétiques. Cela est décrit dans le document KR20120045146. Cela ne résout pas, ou de manière imparfaite, la problématique de la contenance de la recharge en maquillage liquide restituable.  According to this same principle, the makeup case may comprise, in addition to the tank of the refill, secondary containers or refills for containing other cosmetic compositions. This is described in KR20120045146. This does not solve, or imperfectly, the issue of the capacity of refill makeup releasable liquid.
Selon une seconde solution, les recharges peuvent présenter un tamis tendu au-dessus de la cuve contenant le maquillage. Le tamis est constitué d'une maille extensible ou d'une membrane en silicone perforé. Cette solution permet de laisser passer le produit à travers les mailles du tissu formant le tamis ou à travers les perforations du silicone quand on l'étire en appuyant dessus. De manière alternative, la délivrance du produit peut être réalisée grâce à une mise en pression du volume intérieur de la recharge, en appuyant sur un fond déformable qu’elle comporte. Cela est décrit dans le document FR2744602. Selon cette deuxième solution, comme il n’y a pas d’éponge ou d’autre élément dans la cuve, tout son volume est disponible pour contenir du produit. Néanmoins, le produit ne peut pas être très fluide car le tamis offre un maintien imparfait d’un produit très fluide dans la cuve, et le produit ne doit pas traverser le tamis en l’absence de pression sur ce dernier. According to a second solution, the refills may have a sieve stretched over the tank containing the makeup. The screen consists of an extensible mesh or a perforated silicone membrane. This solution allows the product to pass through the mesh of the fabric forming the screen or through the perforations of the silicone when it is stretched by pressing on it. Alternatively, the delivery of the product can be achieved through a in pressure of the interior volume of the refill, by pressing on a deformable bottom that it comprises. This is described in document FR2744602. According to this second solution, as there is no sponge or other element in the tank, all its volume is available to contain the product. However, the product can not be very fluid because the sieve provides an imperfect maintenance of a very fluid product in the tank, and the product must not cross the sieve in the absence of pressure on the latter.
Selon une troisième solution, le produit est distribué par une pompe dite « airless » (pouvant se traduire par « sans air », c’est-à-dire n’employant aucun gaz propulseur) à travers un plateau, soit par un trou central, soit par une multitude d’orifices disposés sur la surface supérieure du plateau. Selon cette solution, le fond de la recharge est constitué d'un piston qui vient repousser le produit sous l'action de la pompe, ou bien d'une poche souple qui s'écrase sous l'action de la pompe. Cette solution est adaptée au stockage et à la restitution de produits liquides, même les plus fluides, mais a un coût élevé et présente un encombrement important du fait du système comportant un piston et une pompe.  According to a third solution, the product is distributed by a pump called "airless" (which can be translated as "without air", that is to say using no propellant gas) through a plate, or by a central hole or by a multitude of orifices disposed on the upper surface of the tray. According to this solution, the bottom of the refill consists of a piston that pushes the product under the action of the pump, or a flexible bag that crashes under the action of the pump. This solution is suitable for storing and returning liquid products, even the most fluid, but at a high cost and has a large footprint because of the system comprising a piston and a pump.
Néanmoins, il n’existe pas dans l’état de la technique de recharge pour boîtier de maquillage liquide, ni de boîtier correspondant, maximisant le volume de stockage de maquillage liquide, potentiellement très fluide, tout en permettant une délivrance aisée et étant peu cher à fabriquer et peu encombrant afin de permettre un transport facile par l’utilisatrice.  Nevertheless, there is no state of the art liquid makeup case refill, nor corresponding case, maximizing the liquid makeup storage volume, potentially very fluid, while allowing easy delivery and being inexpensive to manufacture and space-saving to allow easy transport by the user.
L’invention vise ainsi à proposer une recharge résolvant tout ou partie des problématiques précitées, ainsi qu’un ensemble comportant un boîtier adapté et une telle recharge.  The invention thus aims to provide a refill solving all or part of the aforementioned problems, and an assembly comprising a suitable housing and such a refill.
Ainsi, l’invention porte sur une recharge destinée à être insérée dans un boîtier de maquillage. La recharge comporte un réservoir contenant un maquillage liquide. Le réservoir comporte une cuve comportant une face supérieure ouverte formant une ouverture pour la délivrance du maquillage, ladite cuve étant délimitée par une paroi latérale au droit de l’ouverture et un fond de cuve. La recharge comporte dans la cuve un complexe absorbant. Le réservoir comporte en outre au moins un volume additionnel extérieur à la cuve, en communication fluidique avec l’intérieur de ladite cuve. La présence d’un complexe absorbant tel qu’une éponge dans la cuve et donc au niveau de l’ouverture de délivrance du produit permet, tout comme dans l’art antérieur une bonne rétention d’un produit même très fluide, et une délivrance aisée du produit par pression sur le complexe absorbant. Thus, the invention relates to a refill for insertion into a makeup case. The refill includes a reservoir containing a liquid makeup. The reservoir comprises a tank having an open upper face forming an opening for the delivery of makeup, said tank being delimited by a side wall to the right of the opening and a bottom of the tank. The refill comprises in the tank an absorbing complex. The tank further comprises at least one additional volume outside the tank, in fluid communication with the interior of said tank. The presence of an absorbent complex such as a sponge in the tank and thus at the level of the delivery opening of the product makes it possible, just as in the prior art, good retention of a product that is even very fluid, and delivery. easy product by pressure on the absorbent complex.
Par ailleurs, la présence de volumes du réservoir additionnels à la cuve offre une capacité supplémentaire pour contenir du maquillage liquide, d’autant plus importante que les volumes additionnels ne contiennent pas de complexe absorbant qui en limiteraient la capacité de stockage.  Moreover, the presence of tank volumes additional to the tank provides additional capacity to contain liquid make-up, all the more important that the additional volumes do not contain an absorbent complex that would limit the storage capacity.
La capacité de rétention du produit par la recharge n’est pas compromise, car le complexe absorbant permet cette rétention au niveau de l’ouverture de délivrance du maquillage liquide. Lorsque du maquillage est prélevé dans la recharge par pression sur le complexe absorbant, ce dernier est rechargé en maquillage liquide provenant des volumes additionnels, par gravité et/ou capillarité.  The retention capacity of the product by the refill is not compromised, because the absorbent complex allows this retention at the liquid makeup delivery aperture. When makeup is taken from the pressure refill on the absorbent complex, the latter is refilled with liquid make-up from the additional volumes, by gravity and / or capillarity.
La recharge peut présenter une forme sensiblement parallélépipédique de base sensiblement carrée et de hauteur inférieure à la moitié d’un côté de sa base.  The refill may have a substantially parallelepipedal shape substantially square base and less than half height of one side of its base.
La cuve peut présenter une forme sensiblement cylindrique. The tank may have a substantially cylindrical shape.
La recharge peut comporter une première pièce creuse formant les parois externes du réservoir et de la recharge, et le fond dudit réservoir et de la recharge, et une deuxième pièce formant la paroi latérale de la cuve et une paroi supérieure du réservoir comportant l’ouverture de délivrance du maquillage. The refill may comprise a first hollow part forming the external walls of the reservoir and the refill, and the bottom of said reservoir and the refill, and a second part forming the side wall of the tank and an upper wall of the reservoir comprising the opening. makeup delivery.
Selon un premier mode de réalisation, la deuxième pièce forme en outre un fond de la cuve.  According to a first embodiment, the second part also forms a bottom of the tank.
Selon un deuxième mode de réalisation, la première pièce forme un fond de la cuve.  According to a second embodiment, the first part forms a bottom of the tank.
La deuxième pièce peut former une charnière, la recharge comportant en outre un clapet lié à ladite charnière, le clapet pouvant basculer entre une position fermée dans laquelle il obture l’ouverture de délivrance du maquillage et une position ouverte libérant ladite ouverture de délivrance du maquillage. La recharge peut comporter des passages ménagés dans la paroi latérale de la cuve qui assurent ladite connexion fluidique du ou des volumes additionnels avec l’intérieur de ladite cuve. The second piece can form a hinge, the refill further comprising a valve attached to said hinge, the valve being able to switch between a closed position in which it closes the makeup dispensing opening and an open position releasing said makeup dispensing opening . The refill may comprise passages formed in the side wall of the tank which provide said fluidic connection of the additional volume or volumes with the interior of said tank.
La recharge peut comporter un espace entre la paroi latérale de la cuve et le fond de cuve qui assure ladite communication fluidique du ou des volumes additionnels avec l’intérieur de ladite cuve.  The refill may comprise a space between the side wall of the tank and the bottom of the tank which ensures said fluidic communication of the additional volume or volumes with the interior of said tank.
La recharge peut comporter un film obturant hermétiquement, avant la première utilisation de ladite recharge, l’ouverture de délivrance formée par la face ouverte de la cuve. Dans ce cas, le film peut être fixé à un anneau rigide lié à un bord supérieur de la paroi latérale de la cuve. Alternativement, le film peut être fixé à un retour formé sur un bord supérieur de la paroi latérale de la cuve.  The refill may comprise a sealing film, before the first use of said refill, the delivery opening formed by the open face of the tank. In this case, the film may be attached to a rigid ring bonded to an upper edge of the side wall of the vessel. Alternatively, the film may be attached to a return formed on an upper edge of the side wall of the vessel.
L’invention porte également sur un ensemble comportant un boîtier de maquillage présentant un corps principal formant un volume intérieur de réception d’une recharge et une recharge selon l’une des revendications précédentes de forme correspondante et insérée et fixée dans ledit volume de réception du boîtier. Un tel ensemble peut comporter en outre une houppette permettant la récupération de maquillage liquide par pression sur le complexe absorbant de la recharge, et dans lequel le boîtier comporte en outre un couvercle formant un espace d’accueil pour ladite houppette lorsque le boîtier est fermé par ledit couvercle.  The invention also relates to an assembly comprising a makeup case having a main body forming an interior volume for receiving a refill and a refill according to one of the preceding claims of corresponding form and inserted and fixed in said reception volume of the housing. Such an assembly may further comprise a puff allowing liquid makeup recovery by pressure on the absorbent complex of the refill, and wherein the housing further comprises a lid forming a reception space for said puff when the housing is closed by said lid.
D'autres particularités et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront encore dans la description ci-après. Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent in the description below.

La figure 1 représente un ensemble de maquillage transportable ou « nomade ». L’ensemble comporte un boîtier 1 qui contient une recharge 2, qui contient du maquillage liquide. Dans l’exemple ici représenté, le boîtier présente une forme dite sensiblement carrée, c’est-à-dire une forme sensiblement parallélépipédique à base carrée, « aplatie » c’est-à-dire de faible hauteur comparativement à ses côtés, par exemple de hauteur inférieure à la moitié d’un côté de la base. Dans l’exemple représenté à la figure 1 , la base n’est pas strictement carrée en ce qu’elle présente des cotés légèrement arrondis vers l’extérieur, offrant un aspect valorisant au boîtier. Figure 1 shows a transportable makeup set or "nomadic". The set comprises a housing 1 which contains a refill 2, which contains liquid makeup. In the example shown here, the housing has a so-called substantially square shape, that is to say a substantially parallelepiped shape with a square base, "flattened" that is to say, of low height compared to its sides, by example of height less than half of one side of the base. In the example shown in Figure 1, the base is not strictly square in that it has slightly rounded sides outwardly, providing a value enhancing aspect to the housing.
Le boîtier peut être fermé à l’aide d’un couvercle 3. Le couvercle 3 peut être basculant par rapport à un corps principal 4 du boîtier 1 . Le couvercle 3 sert en premier lieu à la fermeture et l’ouverture du boîtier en vue de la délivrance de maquillage, mais peut avoir d’autres fonctions. Il peut former un volume intérieur, au-dessus de la recharge 2, pouvant servir d’espace d’accueil afin d’y loger un accessoire d’application de maquillage, par exemple une houppette. Le couvercle 3 peut également, en son fond, être équipé d’un miroir 5 permettant à l’utilisatrice de se maquiller aisément. La recharge est dotée d’une cuve 6 présentant une face supérieure ouverte pour la délivrance du maquillage. La cuve est centrale vis-à-vis du boîtier 1 et de la recharge 2. Dans l’exemple représenté, la cuve 6 est cylindrique de révolution et l’ouverture qu’elle forme est ainsi ronde. La cuve est définie dans la recharge par une paroi latérale, qui est ici une paroi périphérique, la cuve étant cylindrique. Un complexe absorbant 7 est disposé dans la cuve. Le complexe absorbant remplit tout le volume de la cuve 6, et présente pour cela une forme correspondant sensiblement au volume intérieur de la cuve 6. Les dimensions du complexe absorbant peuvent être légèrement plus grandes que celles de la cuve de sorte à ce qu’il y soit légèrement comprimé. Le complexe absorbant 7 est classiquement une éponge, naturelle ou synthétique, ou tout autre type de mousse solide ouverte. Le complexe absorbant 7, peut également être réalisé, de manière non limitative, en matériaux non tissées ou fibres stratifiées. Le complexe absorbant 7 présente une capacité d’absorption de fluide importante, mais doit néanmoins permettre la rétention du maquillage liquide en l’absence de sollicitations mécaniques extérieures autres que la gravité par exemple. The housing can be closed by means of a cover 3. The cover 3 can be tilted with respect to a main body 4 of the housing 1. The lid 3 serves primarily to close and open the housing for the delivery of makeup, but may have other functions. It can form an interior volume, above the refill 2, which can serve as a reception area to accommodate a makeup application accessory, for example a powder puff. The lid 3 can also, in its background, be equipped with a mirror 5 allowing the user to make up easily. The refill is provided with a tank 6 having an open upper face for dispensing makeup. The tank is central vis-à-vis the housing 1 and the refill 2. In the example shown, the vessel 6 is cylindrical of revolution and the opening that it forms is thus round. The tank is defined in the refill by a side wall, which is here a peripheral wall, the tank being cylindrical. An absorbent complex 7 is disposed in the tank. The absorbent complex fills the entire volume of the tank 6, and for this purpose has a shape corresponding substantially to the volume 6. The dimensions of the absorbent complex may be slightly larger than those of the vessel so that it is slightly compressed. The absorbent complex 7 is conventionally a sponge, natural or synthetic, or any other type of open solid foam. The absorbent complex 7 may also be made, without limitation, of non-woven materials or laminated fibers. Absorbent complex 7 has a high fluid absorption capacity, but must nevertheless allow the retention of liquid makeup in the absence of external mechanical stresses other than gravity for example.
Afin de se maquiller, l’utilisatrice appuie ou tamponne la houppette (ou autre accessoire d’application de maquillage, ou un doigt) sur le complexe absorbant 7. Sous l’effet de la pression exercée, le complexe absorbant restitue au niveau de sa zone comprimée une partie le maquillage liquide qu’il contient. La surface de la houppette est alors recouverte de maquillage, ce qui permet à l’utilisatrice de se l’appliquer aisément.  In order to wear makeup, the user presses or stamps the puff (or other makeup application accessory, or a finger) on the absorbent complex 7. Under the effect of the pressure exerted, the absorbent complex restores at its Compressed area a part of the liquid makeup it contains. The surface of the puff is then covered with makeup, which allows the user to apply it easily.
La recharge comporte également un clapet 8, pouvant également être appelé plateau. Le clapet 8 est lié au bord de la cuve 6 par une charnière 9. Le clapet a typiquement une forme générale qui correspond à celle de l’ouverture formée par la face ouverte de la cuve 6.  The refill also includes a valve 8, which can also be called a plate. The valve 8 is connected to the edge of the tank 6 by a hinge 9. The valve typically has a general shape which corresponds to that of the opening formed by the open face of the tank 6.
Le clapet permet de garantir, lorsqu’il est dans une position fermée, l’étanchéité au maquillage liquide au niveau de la face ouverte de la cuve 6 formant ouverture de délivrance du maquillage. Ceci évite toute fuite de maquillage lors du transport, par exemple dans un sac.  The valve makes it possible to guarantee, when in a closed position, the liquid make-up seal at the open face of the tank 6 forming the makeup dispensing opening. This prevents any leakage of makeup during transport, for example in a bag.
Dans une position ouverte, représentée à la figure 1 , l’ouverture de délivrance de la recharge est libérée, permettant la récupération de maquillage dans la cuve.  In an open position, shown in Figure 1, the delivery opening of the refill is released, allowing the recovery of makeup in the tank.
La recharge 2 a pour particularité de présenter, en plus de la cuve 6, un (ou plusieurs) volume additionnel de stockage du maquillage liquide, fluidiquement lié à la cuve. Le volume additionnel est ainsi défini à l’extérieur de la cuve, typiquement entre une paroi latérale de ladite cuve 6 et une paroi extérieure de la recharge. Typiquement, dans l’exemple représenté à la figure 1 , les quatre angles 10 du carré formé par la base du boîtier, et en correspondance par la recharge insérée dans le boîtier, sont employés en tant que volumes additionnels tel que détaillé en références aux figures 3 à 6. Refill 2 has the particularity of having, in addition to the tank 6, one (or more) additional liquid makeup storage volume, fluidically bound to the tank. The additional volume is thus defined outside the tank, typically between a side wall of said tank 6 and an outer wall of the refill. Typically, in the example shown in FIG. 1, the four corners of the square formed by the base of the box, and in correspondence by the refill inserted in the case, are used as additional volumes as detailed with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6.
Cela est notamment visible à la figure 2 qui représente l’ensemble de la figure 1 , la recharge 2 étant désolidarisée du corps principal 4 du boîtier 1 , par exemple pour son remplacement par une recharge pleine. La recharge 2 présente une forme extérieure qui correspond à la géométrie du volume intérieur du corps principal 4. Dans l’exemple ici représenté, le boîtier 1 présente une forme générale sensiblement carrée, et la recharge 2 présente en correspondance une forme sensiblement carré. La recharge présente ainsi un volume aussi grand que possible vis-à-vis du volume disponible dans le corps principal 4 du boîtier 1.  This is particularly visible in Figure 2 which shows the assembly of Figure 1, the refill 2 being detached from the main body 4 of the housing 1, for example for its replacement by a full refill. The refill 2 has an outer shape that corresponds to the geometry of the interior volume of the main body 4. In the example shown here, the housing 1 has a substantially square general shape, and the refill 2 has correspondingly a substantially square shape. The charging thus has a volume as large as possible vis-à-vis the volume available in the main body 4 of the housing 1.
Lorsque la recharge 2 est insérée dans le boîtier 1 , la recharge 2 y est maintenue par correspondance de forme et/ou clipsage.  When the refill 2 is inserted into the casing 1, the refill 2 is maintained there by correspondence of form and / or clipping.
La figure 3 est une vue en coupe, selon un plan médian A-A représenté à la figure 1 , d’un ensemble comportant un boîtier 1 et une recharge 2 tel que celui de la figure 1. La figure 4 représente le même ensemble selon une vue en coupe, selon un plan diagonal B-B représenté à la figure 1.  FIG. 3 is a sectional view, along a median plane AA represented in FIG. 1, of an assembly comprising a housing 1 and a refill 2 such as that of FIG. 1. FIG. 4 represents the same assembly according to a view in section along a diagonal plane BB shown in FIG.
Le boîtier est représenté en position fermée, c’est-à-dire que son couvercle 3 est fermé.  The housing is shown in the closed position, that is to say that its lid 3 is closed.
Une houppette 1 1 est disposée entre le miroir 5 et le clapet 8 de la recharge 2.  A powder puff 1 1 is disposed between the mirror 5 and the valve 8 of the refill 2.
Aux figures 3 à 6, le clapet 8 est en position fermée, et obture de manière étanche la face ouverte de la cuve 6 formant ouverture de délivrance du maquillage. L’étanchéité est obtenue par pincement d’un joint 12 porté par une face du couvercle, comme dans l’exemple ici représenté. Alternativement le joint 12 peut être disposé sur le bord supérieur de la cuve 6.  In Figures 3 to 6, the valve 8 is in the closed position, and seals the open face of the tank 6 forming the makeup dispensing opening. The seal is obtained by pinching a seal 12 carried by a face of the lid, as in the example shown here. Alternatively the seal 12 can be arranged on the upper edge of the tank 6.
La recharge est constituée tel que décrit ci-après. La recharge comporte un réservoir pour contenir le maquillage liquide. Le réservoir comporte la cuve 6, qui contient une éponge, et le volume additionnel 13.  The refill is constituted as described below. The refill includes a reservoir for containing liquid makeup. The reservoir comprises the tank 6, which contains a sponge, and the additional volume 13.
La recharge 2 comporte, afin de former le réservoir :  Refill 2 comprises, in order to form the reservoir:
- une première pièce 14 creuse formant les parois externes 15 du réservoir et de la recharge, et le fond 16 dudit réservoir et de la recharge, et - une deuxième pièce 17 formant la paroi latérale 18 de la cuve et une paroi supérieure 19 du réservoir comportant l’ouverture de délivrance du maquillage, c’est-à-dire la face ouverte de la cuve 6. a first hollow part 14 forming the external walls 15 of the reservoir and the refill, and the bottom 16 of said reservoir and the refill, and a second part 17 forming the side wall 18 of the tank and an upper wall 19 of the tank comprising the makeup dispensing opening, that is to say the open face of the tank 6.
La deuxième pièce 17 est fixée à la première pièce 16, par exemple par emboîtement à l’intérieur de cette dernière.  The second part 17 is fixed to the first part 16, for example by interlocking inside the latter.
Les pièces constitutives du réservoir peuvent être réalisées en matériau plastique, et être par exemple obtenues par moulage.  The constituent parts of the reservoir may be made of plastic material, and be for example obtained by molding.
Dans le mode de réalisation des figures 3 et 4, un anneau 20 est rapporté, par exemple par clipsage, au bord supérieur de la paroi latérale 18 de la cuve 6. L’anneau 20 supporte un film 21 (ou étiquette), qui obture la recharge 2 de manière étanche aux liquides et à l’air avant sa première utilisation pour laquelle le film 21 étanche est retiré.  In the embodiment of Figures 3 and 4, a ring 20 is attached, for example by clipping, to the upper edge of the side wall 18 of the tank 6. The ring 20 supports a film 21 (or label), which closes the refill 2 in a liquid and airtight manner before its first use for which the waterproof film 21 is removed.
L’anneau 20 peut également former une légère restriction de l’ouverture de la cuve 6, ce qui permet d’améliorer le maintien du complexe absorbant 7 dans la cuve 6.  The ring 20 may also form a slight restriction of the opening of the tank 6, which makes it possible to improve the maintenance of the absorbent complex 7 in the tank 6.
Afin de permettre l’extraction de la recharge 2 du boîtier 1 , ce dernier peut être doté, comme dans l’exemple ici représenté, d’un fond ouvert. Le fond ouvert du boîtier permet à l’utilisatrice d’appuyer sur le fond de la recharge 2 afin de la faire sortir dudit boîtier 1 . Le fond de la recharge 2, formé par la première pièce 14 peut avantageusement comporter un décrochement venant s’insérer dans l’ouverture du fond du boîtier 1 , afin que l’ensemble constitué du boîtier 1 et de la recharge 2 présente un fond plat.  In order to allow the extraction of the refill 2 from the casing 1, the latter can be provided, as in the example here represented, with an open bottom. The open bottom of the housing allows the user to press the bottom of the refill 2 to make it out of said housing 1. The bottom of the refill 2, formed by the first part 14 may advantageously comprise a recess that fits into the opening of the bottom of the housing 1, so that the assembly consisting of the housing 1 and the refill 2 has a flat bottom .
De manière générale, l’extraction de la recharge 2 du boîtier 1 , préférentiellement lorsque la recharge est vide de maquillage, permet son remplacement dans le boîtier par une recharge pleine.  In general, the extraction of the refill 2 from the case 1, preferably when the refill is empty of makeup, allows its replacement in the case by a full refill.
Dans le mode de réalisation des figures 3 et 4, la deuxième pièce 17 forme également un fond 22 de la cuve 6. Le fond 22 de la cuve 6 vient se poser lors du montage de la recharge 2 sur le fond de la recharge constitué par la première pièce 14.  In the embodiment of Figures 3 and 4, the second part 17 also forms a bottom 22 of the tank 6. The bottom 22 of the tank 6 comes to rest during the assembly of the refill 2 on the bottom of the refill constituted by the first piece 14.
Dans le mode de réalisation des figures 3 et 4, dans lequel la deuxième pièce 17 forme à la fois la paroi latérale 18 de la cuve 6 et son fond 22, les parois latérales 18 comportent des passages 23 permettant au maquillage liquide contenu dans le volume additionnel 13 de passer dans la cuve 6 afin d’imbiber ou de ré-imbiber le complexe absorbant 7. En d’autres termes, les passages 23 mettent la cuve 6 en communication fluidique avec le volume additionnel 13. In the embodiment of Figures 3 and 4, wherein the second part 17 forms both the side wall 18 of the tank 6 and its bottom 22, the side walls 18 have passages 23 allowing the makeup liquid contained in the additional volume 13 to pass into the tank 6 to imbibe or re-imbibing the absorbent complex 7. In other words, the passages 23 put the tank 6 in fluid communication with the additional volume 13.
Comme montré aux figures 3 et 4, le volume additionnel est majoritairement situé dans les angles 10, mais s’étend néanmoins tout autour de la cuve 6. Le volume additionnel est donc, dans l’exemple représenté, un unique volume formé autour de la cuve. Si plusieurs volumes additionnels sont prévus, par exemple un volume additionnel indépendant dans chaque angle d’une recharge, un passage doit être prévu entre chaque volume additionnel et la cuve 6.  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the additional volume is mainly located in the corners 10, but nevertheless extends all around the tank 6. The additional volume is therefore, in the example shown, a single volume formed around the tank. If several additional volumes are provided, for example an additional independent volume in each corner of a refill, a passage must be provided between each additional volume and the tank 6.
Le mode de réalisation représenté aux figures 5 et 6 correspond essentiellement à celui des figures 3 et 4, optimisé sur deux aspects. La description ci-dessus faite en référence aux figures 3 et 4 s’applique donc, excepté pour les différences détaillées ci-après, au mode de réalisation des figures 5 et 6.  The embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 essentially corresponds to that of FIGS. 3 and 4, optimized in two aspects. The above description with reference to Figures 3 and 4 therefore applies, except for the differences detailed below, to the embodiment of Figures 5 and 6.
La figure 5 est une vue en coupe, selon un plan médian A-A représenté à la figure 1 ; la figure 6 est une vue en coupe, selon un plan diagonal B-B représenté à la figure 1.  Figure 5 is a sectional view along a median plane A-A shown in Figure 1; Figure 6 is a sectional view along a diagonal plane B-B shown in Figure 1.
Dans le mode de réalisation représenté aux figures 5 et 6, une première différence tient au fait que la deuxième pièce 17 ne forme pas de fond pour la cuve 6. Dans ce mode de réalisation, le fond de la cuve 22’ correspond au fond de la recharge. Le fond de la cuve 22’ est ainsi formé par la première pièce. Cette configuration présente deux avantages. D’une part, le volume de la cuve est agrandi. D’autre part, la communication fluidique entre le volume additionnel 13 et la cuve 6 peut être réalisé de manière simple en ménageant un espace 24 entre la paroi latérale de la cuve (formée par la deuxième pièce 17) et le fond 22’ de la cuve (formé par la première pièce). Le maquillage liquide peut ainsi s’écouler librement entre le volume additionnel 1 et la cuve 6, sur toute la périphérie de la cuve.  In the embodiment shown in Figures 5 and 6, a first difference is that the second part 17 does not form a bottom for the tank 6. In this embodiment, the bottom of the tank 22 'corresponds to the bottom of recharge. The bottom of the tank 22 'is thus formed by the first piece. This configuration has two advantages. On the one hand, the volume of the tank is enlarged. On the other hand, the fluidic communication between the additional volume 13 and the tank 6 can be achieved in a simple manner by providing a space 24 between the side wall of the tank (formed by the second piece 17) and the bottom 22 'of the tank (formed by the first piece). The liquid makeup can thus flow freely between the additional volume 1 and the tank 6, over the entire periphery of the tank.
Une deuxième différence tient au fait qu’il n’y a pas d’anneau 20 dans le mode de réalisation représenté aux figures 5 et 6. Les fonctions de l’anneau 20 sont assurées par un retour 25 ménagé au niveau du bord supérieur de la cuve 6, vers l’intérieur de sa face ouverte. Le retour 25 permet la fixation du film 21. Le retour 25 permet également un bon maintien du complexe absorbant 7 dans la cuve 6. A second difference is that there is no ring 20 in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. The functions of the ring 20 are provided by a return 25 formed at the upper edge of the tank 6, towards the inside of its open face. The return 25 allows the fixing of the film 21. The return 25 also allows a good maintenance of the absorbent complex 7 in the tank 6.
Bien évidemment, chacune des deux différences évoquées ci-dessus entre le mode de réalisation des figures 3 et 4 et celui des figures 5 et 6 peut être adoptée indépendamment l’une de l’autre.  Of course, each of the two differences mentioned above between the embodiment of FIGS. 3 and 4 and that of FIGS. 5 and 6 can be adopted independently of one another.
Dans tous les modes de réalisation représentés, le volume additionnel est libre de tout élément (typiquement, il ne contient pas de complexe absorbant), ce qui permet de maximiser la contenance totale de la recharge en maquillage liquide.  In all the embodiments shown, the additional volume is free of any element (typically, it does not contain an absorbent complex), which makes it possible to maximize the total capacity of the refill in liquid make-up.
Dans un mode de réalisation non représenté, la paroi latérale de la cuve peut être ajourée de multiples orifices afin de faciliter la communication fluidique entre le volume additionnel 13 et la cuve 6.  In one embodiment not shown, the side wall of the tank may be perforated with multiple orifices to facilitate fluid communication between the additional volume 13 and the tank 6.
L’invention propose ainsi une recharge pour boîtier de maquillage, contenant un maquillage liquide offrant une prestation inconnue dans l’état de la technique. Grâce à la configuration développée dans l’invention, la recharge offre un volume de stockage de maquillage optimisé, dans un volume total limité permettant de transporter aisément le boîtier et sa recharge, tout en préservant la facilité d’emploi comparativement aux recharges à éponges de l’état de la technique, et l’avantage d’être adapté aux produits très fluides. The invention thus proposes a refill for a make-up case, containing a liquid makeup offering a service unknown in the state of the art. Thanks to the configuration developed in the invention, the refill offers an optimized makeup storage volume, in a limited total volume to easily transport the housing and its refill, while preserving the ease of use compared to sponge refills of state of the art, and the advantage of being adapted to very fluid products.
Par exemple, la recharge proposée dans l’invention peut contenir et restituer de l’ordre de 15 grammes d’un produit, même très liquide, dans un boîtier par exemple sensiblement carré ayant un encombrement très faible.  For example, the refill proposed in the invention can contain and restore about 15 grams of a product, even very liquid, in a housing for example substantially square having a very small footprint.
