Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of rechargeable packaging devices for cosmetic products.
- Cosmetic product is understood to mean in particular all the products for making up the skin, including the lips, and all the compositions intended for a body application, including so-called care products such as moisturizers. It relates in particular to the field of refills for refillable cosmetic product packaging devices.
- a packaging device for a cosmetic product generally designates any container used to contain a cosmetic product with a view to its conservation, transport, marketing or use.
- the jars, flasks, cases, etc. are designated. used to contain a cosmetic product.
- refill is meant a removable element comprising a tank adapted to contain a cosmetic product, and which can be put in place and removed from a shell which forms the external surface of the refillable device for packaging cosmetic product consisting of a shell and a shell. recharge.
- the refill Once in place in the shell, the refill must be properly held in the shell. In particular, care should be taken to prevent the refill from escaping from the shell, during its transport or its use during which the pot can take any orientation, in particular a complete overturning of the packaging device, that this results from 'a voluntary action or not. In addition, the refill must not move in the shell when using the conditioning device. The refill must remain fixed when dispensing the product, for example when the user takes product from the refill.
- the refill must be able to be easily extracted from the shell, with a view to its replacement.
- Known refillable packaging devices generally include systems for maintaining the refill in the shell which are visible and unsightly, and / or which require industrially complex or costly adaptations.
- the document JP2013119399 thus discloses a cosmetic product jar comprising a refill, the tank of which is generally cylindrical in shape of revolution and comprises reliefs which slide, by correspondence of shape, in vertical grooves formed in the shell of the jar to prevent the tank from rotating.
- the document EP0661012 also discloses a refill jar device, comprising an inner vessel or container which engages by correspondence of shape in an outer container forming a shell, the inner container being able in particular to include a peripheral bead which cooperates with a groove formed inside from the neck of the outer container.
- WO2019058087 also discloses a refill jar device of similar configuration, comprising an inner vessel or container which matingly engages an outer shell container, the shell having a peripheral bead which cooperates with a groove formed on the outer surface of the shell. tank.
- the upper part of the shell has a neck comprising slits in which radial beads of the tank are introduced to allow the latter to be kept in rotation.
- the refill packaging devices known in the state of the art are based on a correspondence of shape between the shell and the refill, which allows for example by clipping (or other relative mechanical engagement) the maintenance of the refill in the shell.
- This requires a particular conformation of the shell and of the refill, which prevents for example being able to use a shell of conventional shape, such as a standard glass container, to form a refillable packaging device.
- the invention aims to resolve all or part of the aforementioned problems.
- the invention relates to a refill for a cosmetic product packaging device comprising a tank adapted to contain such a product, the tank comprising a side wall.
- the side wall of the tank has, on at least part of its outer surface, an elastomeric material element linked to the tank and which is at least partly in relief with respect to said outer surface of the side wall of the tank. tank.
- the refill thus formed is able to be held in a shell of suitable shape, thanks to the reliefs of elastomeric material formed on the outer wall of the tank.
- the retention obtained nevertheless allowing the extraction of the refill, uses the elastic properties and the coefficient of friction of the elastomeric material.
- the implementation of recharging is thus very simple.
- the elastomeric material element can be overmolded on the tank.
- the tank can be made of a plastic material.
- the tank and the elastomeric material element that it presents can be formed together by two-material injection.
- the refill can thus be produced by known and controlled industrial processes, which offer good cohesion between the tank and the element made of elastomeric material which it carries.
- the elastomeric material employed may be an elastomeric thermoplastic or an elastomeric silicone. It can have a hardness of between 20 degrees shore and 80 degrees shore, and preferably between 40 degrees shore and 60 degrees shore.
- the elastomeric material used and its hardness allow it to be deformed under a reasonable force, compatible with the application to a cosmetic product refill.
- the element made of elastomeric material may have a variable thickness, so that it forms discrete studs distributed over the outer surface of the side wall of the tank.
- the element made of elastomeric material can extend over a periphery of the side wall of the tank and form at least two studs distributed over said periphery, and preferably at least three studs distributed over said periphery.
- the element made of elastomeric material may extend along at least two bands, and preferably at least three bands, on the side wall of the tank, said bands extending from an upper part of the tank towards a bottom of the tank. tank and extending onto an outer surface of said base on which they meet together.
- Different configurations of the elastomeric material element make it possible to adapt the support zones to the application, the maintenance of the refill, the holding force, the aesthetics, the complexity of implementation, etc.
- the refill may for example be of generally cylindrical shape of revolution, or frustoconical, or straight prism.
- the vessel may have, for example, an interior volume of between 10 mL and 200 mL.
- the invention also relates to a packaging device for a cosmetic product comprising a shell and a refill as defined above, in which the shell has an opening adapted to receive the refill, the outer surface of the side wall of the container.
- the refill having a play vis-à-vis an interior surface of the shell, except at the level of all or part of the element made of elastomeric material, so that the bearing zones of the element made of elastomeric material on said inner surface of the shell are formed.
- the means allowing this maintenance can be invisible (if the shell is opaque) or at the very least very discreet, so that they do not harm the aesthetics of the pot which is formed.
- the elastomeric material element can be deformed in said support zones by compression on the inner surface of the shell, compared to a configuration that the elastomeric material element adopts in the absence of external stresses.
- the deformation of the element made of elastomeric material on the bearing zones increases the force which it exerts on the interior surface of the shell, and thus increases the friction which opposes the extraction of the refill.
- the interior surface of the shell is devoid of any roughness such as grooves, orifices, pins or snap rings.
- the maintenance of the refill does not require forming on the shell any particular shape intended to cooperate with means for maintaining the recharge.
- the refill tank of which is filled with a cosmetic product the shell and the refill can be configured so that a force necessary for the extraction of the refill is greater. or equal to twice, and preferably greater than or equal to two and a half times, the weight of the refill.
- the shape, dimensions and constitution of the element made of elastomeric material are configured so as to obtain the force necessary for the extraction of the desired refill.
- This holding force allows relatively easy removal of the refill for replacement. It corresponds to a desirable specification for jars of conventional cosmetic products.
- the shell can be made of plastic, glass, stainless steel, aluminum, or wood.
- the shell has in fact an aesthetic aspect which can be essential in the field of cosmetic products.
- the packaging device can in particular be a jar, for example a jar of cream.
- the figure 1 shows, in a three-dimensional view, a first example of a refill 1 according to one embodiment of the invention.
- the refill 1 comprises a tank 2 which is hollow, that is to say the shape of which provides a volume suitable for receiving a cosmetic product.
- the tank 2 has a generally cylindrical shape, which may be straight or slightly flared (in a truncated cone). Any hollow shape can nevertheless be considered to form the tank, in particular any straight prismatic shape, in particular having a square, rectangular, pentagon, hexagonal, octagonal, etc. base.
- the tank 2 has in particular a side wall 3 and a bottom 4.
- the tank comprises, in the example shown, an upper rim 5.
- the rim 5 is formed around an open face 6 of the tank 2.
- a cosmetic product for example a cream
- the open face of the tank may be covered with a removable cap, for example a product protection patch, for example bearing on the rim 5 and / or on a shoulder 10 formed in the upper part of the tank.
- the tank may also include a cover, for example heat-sealed, covering the open face 6 and having to be removed during the first use of the recharge.
- the open face may be free, directly exposing the product contained in the tank 2 of the refill, or be provided with a regulating device such as a sieve, a net, or other device suitable for the product to be dispensed.
- the tank in particular the side wall 3 of the tank 2, has, on its external surface 7 (that is to say the surface of the wall opposite to that forming the internal volume of the tank 2) an element made of material elastomeric 8.
- the elastomeric material element 8 is intimately linked to the tank.
- the element made of elastomeric material can be overmolded on the tank 2.
- An overmolding of the element made of elastomeric material 8 on the tank 2 is possible in particular on a tank made of a plastic material, of metal, of glass, or of plastic. another material compatible with an overmolding.
- the element made of elastomeric material and the tank can be formed by two-material injection.
- the elastomeric materials that can be used to form the elastomeric material element include all elastomeric thermoplastics (TPE) as well as elastomeric silicones.
- TPE elastomeric thermoplastics
- the materials which can be used advantageously have a shore hardness of between 20 degrees shore and 80 degrees shore (preferably between 40 and 60 degrees shore).
- the hardness of the material used is an important parameter for optimizing the refill, and is chosen in particular according to the dimensions of the refill tank and according to the material used to form the shell intended to receive the refill to form a packaging device.
- '' a cosmetic product (for example a jar).
- the element made of elastomeric material 8 is in relief with respect to the external surface 7 of the side wall 3 of the tank. In other words, on at least part of the element made of elastomeric material 8, the latter protrudes with respect to the external surface 7 of the side wall 3.
- the pads 9 can thus be formed by the element made of elastomeric material 8. These pads 9 form the parts of the element made of elastomeric material having a function of maintaining the refill in a shell, as detailed below with reference to figures 5 to 7 .
- the number, dimensions, shape, and orientation of the studs 9 may vary depending on the application considered. More generally, the configurations that can be envisaged for the element made of elastomeric material are numerous.
- the elastomeric material element 8 surrounds the tank 2.
- the elastomeric material element 8 forms a peripheral band on the outer surface of the side wall 3 of the tank 2.
- This strip is formed in the upper part of the tank 2, in this case under the rim 5.
- This strip comprises three studs 9, distributed along the periphery of the tank carrying said strip.
- the rest of the element made of elastomeric material that is to say the belt formed around the tank 2 can be in relief or flush with the external surface 7.
- a groove can be formed in the side wall 3 to accommodate said element made of elastomeric material 8.
- the distribution of the three pads 9 is of preferably regular, that is to say that the pads are equidistant along the strip formed by the element made of elastomeric material. In the case of a tank having a shape of revolution, this results in a regular angular distribution of the studs 9 with respect to the axis of revolution of the tank 2.
- the studs 9 have a vertical arrangement, that is to say they form a relief having an elongated shape from the top (open face 6) to the bottom (bottom 4) of the tank. For a tank having a shape of revolution, this results in an orientation of the studs 9 parallel to the axis of revolution of the tank. More generally, the studs are oriented perpendicular to a plane materialized by the bottom 4 of the tank, or if the bottom of the tank does not materialize a plane (for example if the tank is substantially spherical or in the form of a sphere cap) the studs are oriented perpendicular to the open face 6 of the tank 2.
- the embodiment of the figure 1 has, among other advantages, the advantage that the element made of elastomeric material can be hardly visible on the tank. Furthermore, the number of pads formed by the element made of elastomeric material can be easily adapted, with few modifications in the production tools.
- the figure 2 and the figure 3 present a second exemplary embodiment of a refill according to the invention, according to two different views.
- Charging the figure 2 and some figure 3 differs essentially from that described above with reference to the figure 1 by the shape of the elastomeric material element 8.
- the tank of the figure 2 and some figure 3 does not have a shoulder 10 at the top. These two differences are independent of one another, the presence or absence of a shoulder on the tank being independent of the configuration of the element made of elastomeric material 8.
- the elastomeric material element 8 is configured in vertical bands extending over the outer surface 7 of the side wall 3 of the tank 2.
- three vertical bands are formed by the elastomeric material element.
- the vertical bands are distributed over the outer surface 7 of the side wall 3 of the tank 2, preferably in an even distribution. According to a regular distribution, the vertical bands are equidistant along the periphery of the tank. In the case of a tank having a shape of revolution, this results in a regular angular distribution of the vertical bands formed by the element made of elastomeric material 8 vis-à-vis the axis of revolution of the tank 2.
- three vertical bands are formed on the outer surface 7 of the side wall 3 of the tank 2.
- the elastomeric material element 8 comprises a stud 9 at the top of each of the vertical bands that it forms, that is to say near the open face 6.
- the rest of the element made of elastomeric material that is to say the belt formed around the tank 2 can be raised or flush with the external surface 7.
- Each pad 9 has a so-called horizontal orientation, perpendicular to the vertical orientation as defined above.
- each stud has an elongated shape, which extends parallel to a plane materialized by the bottom 4 of the tank (or materialized by the open face 6).
- Each vertical strip formed by the element made of elastomeric material on the outer surface 7 of the side wall 3 of the tank 2 extends over an outer surface 11 of the bottom 4 of the tank 2, the surface on which they meet together.
- they can form a patch 12, for example circular, which may include an inscription or a logo.
- the element made of elastomeric material can thus play an important aesthetic role, by presenting bands, regular or forming a desired pattern (undulations, shapes reminiscent of a tree leaf, etc.).
- the fact that the vertical bands of the element made of elastomeric material meet makes it possible to have only one element made of elastomeric material on the tank, which is advantageous compared to elements made of discrete elastomeric material, in particular when the element made of elastomeric material is formed by overmolding or bi-material injection.
- the figure 4 shows an example of a shell 13 that can be used to form a packaging device for a cosmetic product (in this case a jar) with a refill 1 in accordance with the invention, for example the refill of the figure 1 or recharging figures 2 and 3 .
- the shell designates an element adapted to receive a recharge and in which the recharge will be maintained.
- the hull of the figure 4 is a bottle forming a volume adapted to receive the refill 1.
- the shell 13 comprises a main body 14, of substantially prismatic shape with a square base, the side faces of which have a slight convexity.
- the shell 13 constituting a visible part of the pot once the latter has been formed, it has an important aesthetic function.
- the main body 14 of the shell 13 is surmounted by a neck 15 provided with a screw thread 16 allowing the installation of a screw cap (not shown).
- a shoulder 17 is formed at the mouth of the neck 15. The shoulder 17 is dimensioned so as to be able to receive the rim 5 of the tank 2 of the refill 1 in abutment.
- the refill can be supported vertically on other surfaces of the shell, for example the rim 5 of the tank 2 of the refill 1 can be supported directly on the neck 15, or for example by the absence of rim 5 on the tank 2 of the refill, the bottom 4 of the tank can rest on a bottom of the shell, if the latter has a bottom.
- a bottomless shell can be advantageous to facilitate the extraction of the refill.
- the shell 13 does not present, at the level of the interior surface of the shell 18 intended to cooperate with the refill for its maintenance, any roughness.
- the term “roughness” is understood to mean a volume, relief or hollow, formed on a surface and of dimensions much greater than any roughness associated with the material constituting said surface.
- the inner surface of the shell 18 in particular has no groove, no orifice, no pin or no snap ring.
- the inner surface of the shell 18 intended to cooperate with the refill for its maintenance corresponds in the example of the shell shown to the inner surface of the neck 15.
- the hull shown in figure 4 can be formed in glass. Any shade of glass can be used, in particular transparent, translucent, opaque, colored or not.
- the shell can be made of many other materials, depending on the desired appearance, volume, shape, desired closure method, etc.
- the shell can be made of plastic, wood, metal (such as stainless steel, tinplate, or aluminum).
- a conventionally shaped container for example a conventional glassware screw container, can be used without requiring any adaptation other than the adoption of dimensions suitable for refill.
- the cost of manufacturing the shell (and ultimately the packaging device) can thus be reduced, compared to packaging devices whose shell must include specific elements for fixing a refill.
- the figure 5 shows, in a sectional view, a packaging device, namely a pot, formed from the shell of the figure 4 and recharging figures 2 and 3 .
- the section plane is a diametral plane of the tank 2 of the refill, and also forms a plane of symmetry of the shell 13, as shown in the figure. figure 4 (plan P).
- the pot shown in FIG. 5 thus comprises a shell 13, in the form of a thick-walled glass container, which forms a volume in which the refill 1 is received.
- the shape of the internal volume of the shell 13 thus corresponds to within a game, to the outer shape of the tank 2 (for example cylindrical or slightly frustoconical).
- the depth of this volume is slightly greater than the overall height of the refill, so that the rim 5 of the refill bears on the shoulder 17 formed at the mouth of the neck 15.
- the figure 6 shows a detailed view of the interaction between the shell and the refill in the pot of the figure 5 , according to the same section plane as that of the figure 5 .
- the figure 6 reveals in particular the support formed between the rim 5 and the shoulder 17.
- a clearance J for example of the order of 0.5 mm for a jar of cosmetic cream of conventional volume, for example of the order of 60 mL, exists between the inner surface of the shell 18 and the outer surface 7 of the side wall of the tank 2.
- the elastomeric material element 8 is provided in the example shown flush with the external surface 7 except for the studs 9 which it forms and which are in relief, projecting, screw -à-à-vis this outer surface 7.
- the same clearance J exists between the inner surface of the shell 18 and the elastomeric material element 8, except at the level of the pads 9.
- Each pad 9 forms a projection vis-à-vis.
- the thickness E may be of the order of 1 mm, for example of the order of 0.9 mm.
- the stud 9 In order to introduce the refill 1 into the shell 13 until the edge 5 rests on the shoulder 17, it is necessary to deform the stud 9 so that it penetrates into the shell and that it bears on the inner surface of the shell 18.
- the stud 9 therefore has a thickness, vis-à-vis the outer surface 17 of the side wall 3 of the tank 2 equal to the clearance J.
- the plot 9 thus fills the clearance J and exerts, due to its elasticity, a bearing force on the inner surface of the shell 18.
- each bearing zone formed at the level of each stud 9, forms a zone ensuring maintenance of the tank 2 (and therefore of the refill 1) in the shell 13.
- a force tending to extract the refill 1 from the shell 13 is exerted, a force opposing its extraction is created, by reaction, at the level of the pads, due to the interaction between each pad 9 and the inner surface of the shell 18 on which the pads 9 are compressed. This force is generated by friction of the stud 9 on the interior surface of the hull 18.
- the tank 2 As long as the tank 2 is stationary in the hull 13, it is a so-called dry frictional force, the intensity of which is, for each pad 9, at most equal to the coefficient of static friction between the pads 9 multiplied by the force exerted between the inner surface of the shell 18 and the pad 9 due to its compression.
- the force tending to extract the tank from the shell 13 exceeds the sum of the maximum static friction forces exerted at the level of the pads 9, the refill begins to move vis-à-vis the shell for its extraction.
- the number of studs, their dimensions, the elastomeric material used, as well as the material constituting the shell and the surface condition of the internal surface of the shell are parameters which make it possible to modulate the force necessary for setting. in place and the extraction of the refill 1.
- the material which constitutes it, the total bearing surface (sum of the bearing surfaces) between said element made of elastomeric material and the inner surface of the shell 18, and the sum of the forces exerted due to the compression of said element made of elastomeric material are determining parameters when determining the configuration of the element made of elastomeric material.
- the force necessary for the extraction of the refill be at least twice the weight of the full refill, for example of the order two and a half times the weight of the full refill.
- the pads 9 present, in the example of the figure 6 , a convex or bevelled shape depending on the so-called vertical direction which corresponds, moreover, to the direction of introduction (and extraction) of the refill, which allows a progressive compression of the pads during the insertion of the refill 1 in the shell 13.
- the position of the pads 9, in the upper part of the tank 2, typically under the rim 5, allows the refill to be largely introduced into a shell 13 without effort, and to immobilize it in the shell by compressing the pads 9 to the end of the introduction.
- the figure 7 represents, according to a view similar to that of the figure 6 , the interaction between a shell and the recharging of the figure 1 , in a pot formed with such a refill.
- the embodiment of the figure 7 differs from that shown in figure 6 essentially by the configuration of the element made of elastomeric material 8 and of the pads 9 that it forms. Nevertheless, all the explanations given on the number of studs, the creation of a holding force by contact on the inner surface of the shell 18, etc., given with reference to the figure 6 apply to the embodiment of the figure 7 .
- the pads 9 of the refill used in the pot of the figure 7 have a vertically elongated shape, that is to say parallel to the direction of introduction and extraction of the refill.
- the thickness E formed by the stud 9 vis-à-vis the outer surface 7 of the side wall 3 of the tank 2 is greater than the clearance J between said outer surface 7 and the inner surface of the shell 18.
- each pad 9 of the elastomeric material element 8 is compressed when the refill 1 is in place in the shell 13.
- a chamfer 19 is formed on the stud 9.
- the vertically elongated shape of the stud 9 Due to the vertically elongated shape of the stud 9, the latter is gradually introduced into the shell 13, which leads to a gradual increase in the force necessary for placing the refill 1 in the shell 13 (because the contact surface between the studs 9 of the tank 2 and the inner surface of the shell 18 increases progressively and proportionally with the length of the stud introduced) until contact between the rim 5 and the shoulder 17.
- the present invention is obviously not limited to these embodiments.
- the configuration of the elastomeric element, of the tank, and also of the shell can be very different from the configurations described above.
- the presence of pads on the element made of elastomeric material is optional, since at least part of said element made of elastomeric material is in relief with respect to the external surface. of the tank.
- Very varied shapes of elastomeric material elements are possible.
- Several distinct elastomeric material elements may be present on the same refill.
- the tank can have various shapes and constitutions, depending on the application considered.
- the shell can have various shapes and constitutions.
- the shell may be cubic, cylindrical, cubic or parallelepiped, spherical, and may or may not have a bottom, or be provided with an orifice in its bottom to facilitate the extraction of a refill.
- the invention thus developed allows the removable maintenance of a cosmetic product refill in a shell in order to form a device for packaging an aesthetic cosmetic product which is refillable by exchanging the refill.
- the maintenance is obtained by friction of the element made of elastomeric material on an internal surface of the shell.
- the retaining means in particular the elastomeric element, can be completely invisible once the pot has been formed, and be hardly visible on the refill.
- the element made of elastomeric material can also constitute an element of visual or aesthetic differentiation, or an element of haptic differentiation for the product.
- the shell can have a shape that is simple to produce, since the inner surface of the shell intended to interact with the elastomeric material element of the refill for its maintenance does not require the formation of any particular mechanical device.
- a pre-existing container for example a conventional glassware container, can thus be used without adaptation as the shell of the device for packaging cosmetic product.

Description
La présente invention concerne le domaine des dispositifs rechargeables de conditionnement pour produit cosmétique. Par produit cosmétique, on entend notamment tous les produits pour le maquillage de la peau, y compris les lèvres, et toutes les compositions destinées à une application corporelle, y compris les produits dits de soin tels que les crèmes hydratantes. Elle porte en particulier sur le domaine des recharges pour dispositifs rechargeables de conditionnement de produit cosmétique.The present invention relates to the field of rechargeable packaging devices for cosmetic products. The term “cosmetic product” is understood to mean in particular all the products for making up the skin, including the lips, and all the compositions intended for a body application, including so-called care products such as moisturizers. It relates in particular to the field of refills for refillable cosmetic product packaging devices.
Un dispositif de conditionnement pour produit cosmétique désigne de manière générale tout contenant employé pour contenir un produit cosmétique en vue de sa conservation, son transport, sa commercialisation, ou son utilisation. Sont ainsi par exemple désignés les pots, flacons, étuis, etc. employés pour contenir un produit cosmétique.A packaging device for a cosmetic product generally designates any container used to contain a cosmetic product with a view to its conservation, transport, marketing or use. Thus, for example, the jars, flasks, cases, etc. are designated. used to contain a cosmetic product.
Par recharge, on entend un élément amovible comportant une cuve adaptée à contenir un produit cosmétique, et qui peut être mis en place et retiré d'une coque qui forme la surface externe du dispositif rechargeable de conditionnement de produit cosmétique constitué par une coque et une recharge.By refill is meant a removable element comprising a tank adapted to contain a cosmetic product, and which can be put in place and removed from a shell which forms the external surface of the refillable device for packaging cosmetic product consisting of a shell and a shell. recharge.
Une fois en place dans la coque, la recharge doit être correctement maintenue dans la coque. En particulier, il convient d'éviter que la recharge ne puisse s'échapper de la coque, lors de son transport ou de son utilisation lors desquels le pot peut prendre toute orientation, notamment un renversement complet du dispositif de conditionnement, que cela résulte d'une action volontaire ou non. En outre, la recharge ne doit pas bouger dans la coque lors de l'utilisation du dispositif de conditionnement. La recharge doit rester fixe lors de la distribution du produit, par exemple lorsque l'utilisatrice prélève du produit dans la recharge.Once in place in the shell, the refill must be properly held in the shell. In particular, care should be taken to prevent the refill from escaping from the shell, during its transport or its use during which the pot can take any orientation, in particular a complete overturning of the packaging device, that this results from 'a voluntary action or not. In addition, the refill must not move in the shell when using the conditioning device. The refill must remain fixed when dispensing the product, for example when the user takes product from the refill.
Néanmoins, la recharge doit pouvoir être extraite facilement de la coque, en vue de son remplacement.Nevertheless, the refill must be able to be easily extracted from the shell, with a view to its replacement.
Les dispositifs de conditionnement rechargeables connus comportent généralement des systèmes de maintien de la recharge dans la coque qui sont visibles et peu esthétiques, et/ou qui nécessitent des adaptations industriellement complexes ou coûteuses.Known refillable packaging devices generally include systems for maintaining the refill in the shell which are visible and unsightly, and / or which require industrially complex or costly adaptations.

Ainsi, les dispositifs de conditionnement à recharge connus dans l'état de la technique sont fondés sur une correspondance de forme entre la coque et la recharge, qui permet par exemple par clipsage (ou autre engagement mécanique relatif) le maintien de la recharge dans la coque. Cela nécessite une conformation particulière de la coque et de la recharge, qui empêche par exemple de pouvoir utiliser une coque de forme classique, tel qu'un récipient en verre standard, pour former un dispositif de conditionnement rechargeable.Thus, the refill packaging devices known in the state of the art are based on a correspondence of shape between the shell and the refill, which allows for example by clipping (or other relative mechanical engagement) the maintenance of the refill in the shell. This requires a particular conformation of the shell and of the refill, which prevents for example being able to use a shell of conventional shape, such as a standard glass container, to form a refillable packaging device.
L'invention vise à résoudre tout ou partie des problèmes précités.The invention aims to resolve all or part of the aforementioned problems.
Ainsi, l'invention porte sur une recharge pour dispositif de conditionnement de produit cosmétique comportant une cuve adaptée à contenir un tel produit, la cuve comportant une paroi latérale. La paroi latérale de la cuve présente, sur au moins une partie de sa surface externe, un élément en matériau élastomérique lié à la cuve et qui est au moins pour partie en relief vis-à-vis de ladite surface externe de la paroi latérale de la cuve.Thus, the invention relates to a refill for a cosmetic product packaging device comprising a tank adapted to contain such a product, the tank comprising a side wall. The side wall of the tank has, on at least part of its outer surface, an elastomeric material element linked to the tank and which is at least partly in relief with respect to said outer surface of the side wall of the tank. tank.
La recharge ainsi formée est apte à être maintenue dans une coque de forme adaptée, grâce aux reliefs de matériau élastomérique formés sur la paroi externe de la cuve. Le maintien obtenu, permettant néanmoins l'extraction de la recharge, utilise les propriétés élastiques et le coefficient de frottement du matériau élastomérique. La mise en œuvre de la recharge est ainsi très simple.The refill thus formed is able to be held in a shell of suitable shape, thanks to the reliefs of elastomeric material formed on the outer wall of the tank. The retention obtained, nevertheless allowing the extraction of the refill, uses the elastic properties and the coefficient of friction of the elastomeric material. The implementation of recharging is thus very simple.
L'élément en matériau élastomérique peut être surmoulé sur la cuve.The elastomeric material element can be overmolded on the tank.
La cuve peut être formée d'un matériau plastique. La cuve et l'élément en matériau élastomérique qu'elle présente peuvent être formés ensemble par injection bi-matière. La recharge peut ainsi être produite par des procédés industriels connus et maîtrisés, qui offrent une bonne cohésion entre la cuve et l'élément en matériau élastomérique qu'elle porte.The tank can be made of a plastic material. The tank and the elastomeric material element that it presents can be formed together by two-material injection. The refill can thus be produced by known and controlled industrial processes, which offer good cohesion between the tank and the element made of elastomeric material which it carries.
Le matériau élastomérique employé peut être un thermoplastique élastomère ou un silicone élastomère. Il peut avoir une dureté comprise entre 20 degrés shore et 80 degrés shore, et de préférence comprise entre 40 degrés shore et 60 degrés shore.The elastomeric material employed may be an elastomeric thermoplastic or an elastomeric silicone. It can have a hardness of between 20 degrees shore and 80 degrees shore, and preferably between 40 degrees shore and 60 degrees shore.
Le matériau élastomérique employé et sa dureté en permettent la déformation sous un effort raisonnable, compatible de l'application à une recharge de produit cosmétique. L'élément en matériau élastomérique peut avoir une épaisseur variable, de sorte qu'il forme des plots discrets répartis sur la surface externe de la paroi latérale de la cuve. L'élément en matériau élastomérique peut s'étendre sur une périphérie de la paroi latérale de la cuve et former au moins deux plots répartis sur ladite périphérie, et de préférence au moins trois plots répartis sur ladite périphérie.The elastomeric material used and its hardness allow it to be deformed under a reasonable force, compatible with the application to a cosmetic product refill. The element made of elastomeric material may have a variable thickness, so that it forms discrete studs distributed over the outer surface of the side wall of the tank. The element made of elastomeric material can extend over a periphery of the side wall of the tank and form at least two studs distributed over said periphery, and preferably at least three studs distributed over said periphery.
L'élément en matériau élastomérique peut s'étendre selon au moins deux bandes, et de préférence au moins trois bandes, sur la paroi latérale de la cuve, lesdites bandes s'étendant d'une partie supérieure de la cuve vers un fond de la cuve et se prolongeant sur une surface extérieure dudit fond sur laquelle elles se rejoignent entre elles. Différentes configurations de l'élément en matériau élastomérique permettent d'adapter les zones d'appui à l'application, le maintien de la recharge, la force de maintien, l'esthétique, la complexité de mise en oeuvre, etc.The element made of elastomeric material may extend along at least two bands, and preferably at least three bands, on the side wall of the tank, said bands extending from an upper part of the tank towards a bottom of the tank. tank and extending onto an outer surface of said base on which they meet together. Different configurations of the elastomeric material element make it possible to adapt the support zones to the application, the maintenance of the refill, the holding force, the aesthetics, the complexity of implementation, etc.
La recharge peut par exemple être de forme générale cylindrique de révolution, ou tronconique, ou prismatique droite.The refill may for example be of generally cylindrical shape of revolution, or frustoconical, or straight prism.
La cuve peut avoir, par exemple, un volume intérieur compris entre 10 mL et 200 mL.The vessel may have, for example, an interior volume of between 10 mL and 200 mL.
Il s'agit de configurations particulièrement adaptées à la mise en œuvre de l'invention. L'invention porte également sur un dispositif de conditionnement pour produit cosmétique comportant une coque et une recharge telle que définie ci-dessus, dans lequel la coque comporte une ouverture adaptée à recevoir la recharge, la surface externe de la paroi latérale de la cuve de la recharge présentant un jeu vis-à-vis d'une surface intérieure de la coque, sauf au niveau de tout ou partie de l'élément en matériau élastomérique, de sorte que des zones d'appui de l'élément en matériau élastomérique sur ladite surface intérieure de la coque sont formées.These are configurations that are particularly suited to the implementation of the invention. The invention also relates to a packaging device for a cosmetic product comprising a shell and a refill as defined above, in which the shell has an opening adapted to receive the refill, the outer surface of the side wall of the container. the refill having a play vis-à-vis an interior surface of the shell, except at the level of all or part of the element made of elastomeric material, so that the bearing zones of the element made of elastomeric material on said inner surface of the shell are formed.
Le maintien de la recharge dans la coque étant assuré dans des zones d'appui d'une surface interne de la coque, les moyens permettant ce maintien peuvent être invisibles (si la coque est opaque) ou à tout le moins très discrets, de sorte qu'ils ne nuisent pas à l'esthétique du pot qui est constitué.The maintenance of the refill in the shell being ensured in support zones of an internal surface of the shell, the means allowing this maintenance can be invisible (if the shell is opaque) or at the very least very discreet, so that they do not harm the aesthetics of the pot which is formed.
L'élément en matériau élastomérique peut être déformé dans lesdites zones d'appui par compression sur la surface intérieure de la coque, comparativement à une configuration que l'élément en matériau élastomérique adopte en l'absence de sollicitations extérieures.The elastomeric material element can be deformed in said support zones by compression on the inner surface of the shell, compared to a configuration that the elastomeric material element adopts in the absence of external stresses.
La déformation de l'élément en matériau élastomérique sur les zones d'appui augmente la force qu'il exerce sur la surface intérieure de la coque, et augmente ainsi les frottements qui s'opposent à l'extraction de la recharge.The deformation of the element made of elastomeric material on the bearing zones increases the force which it exerts on the interior surface of the shell, and thus increases the friction which opposes the extraction of the refill.
Dans un mode de réalisation, la surface intérieure de la coque est dénuée d'aspérités telles que des rainures, orifices, pions ou anneaux d'encliquetage.In one embodiment, the interior surface of the shell is devoid of any roughness such as grooves, orifices, pins or snap rings.
N'étant pas fondée sur un principe d'encliquetage ou de vissage, ou autre engagement d'un élément dans un élément de forme correspondante, le maintien de la recharge ne nécessite pas de former sur la coque une quelconque forme particulière destinée à coopérer avec des moyens de maintien de la recharge.Not being based on a principle of latching or screwing, or other engagement of an element in an element of corresponding shape, the maintenance of the refill does not require forming on the shell any particular shape intended to cooperate with means for maintaining the recharge.
Dans un dispositif de conditionnement tel que défini ci-dessus, dont la cuve de la recharge est remplie d'un produit cosmétique, la coque et la recharge peuvent être configurées de sorte qu'une force nécessaire à l'extraction de la recharge est supérieure ou égale à deux fois, et préférentiellement supérieure ou égale à deux fois et demi, le poids de la recharge. En particulier, la forme, les dimensions et la constitution de l'élément en matériau élastomérique sont configurées de sorte à obtenir la force nécessaire à l'extraction de la recharge souhaitée.In a packaging device as defined above, the refill tank of which is filled with a cosmetic product, the shell and the refill can be configured so that a force necessary for the extraction of the refill is greater. or equal to twice, and preferably greater than or equal to two and a half times, the weight of the refill. In particular, the shape, dimensions and constitution of the element made of elastomeric material are configured so as to obtain the force necessary for the extraction of the desired refill.
Cette force de maintien permet un retrait relativement aisé de la recharge en vue de son remplacement. Elle correspond à une spécification souhaitable pour les pots de produits cosmétiques classiques.This holding force allows relatively easy removal of the refill for replacement. It corresponds to a desirable specification for jars of conventional cosmetic products.
La coque peut être en matériau plastique, en verre, en acier inoxydable, en aluminium, ou en bois.The shell can be made of plastic, glass, stainless steel, aluminum, or wood.
La coque revêt en effet un aspect esthétique qui peut être primordial dans le domaine des produits cosmétiques.The shell has in fact an aesthetic aspect which can be essential in the field of cosmetic products.
Le dispositif de conditionnement peut notamment être un pot, par exemple un pot de crème.The packaging device can in particular be a jar, for example a jar of cream.

La cuve comporte, dans l'exemple représenté, un rebord 5 supérieur. Le rebord 5 est formé autour d'une face ouverte 6 de la cuve 2.The tank comprises, in the example shown, an
Un produit cosmétique, par exemple une crème, peut être contenu dans le volume ménagé à l'intérieur de la cuve. La face ouverte de la cuve peut être recouverte d'un capuchon amovible, par exemple une pastille de protection du produit, prenant par exemple appui sur le rebord 5 et/ou sur un épaulement 10 formé en partie haute de la cuve. La cuve peut également comporter un opercule, par exemple thermo-scellé, recouvrant la face ouverte 6 et devant être ôté lors de la première utilisation de la recharge. La face ouverte peut être libre, exposant directement le produit contenu dans la cuve 2 de la recharge, ou être muni d'un dispositif de régulation tel qu'un tamis, un filet, ou autre dispositif adapté au produit à distribuer.A cosmetic product, for example a cream, can be contained in the volume provided inside the tank. The open face of the tank may be covered with a removable cap, for example a product protection patch, for example bearing on the

L'élément en matériau élastomérique 8 est intimement lié à la cuve.The tank, in particular the
Typiquement, l'élément en matériau élastomérique peut être surmoulé sur la cuve 2. Un surmoulage de l'élément en matériau élastomérique 8 sur la cuve 2 est possible notamment sur une cuve réalisée en un matériau plastique, en métal, en verre, ou en un autre matériau compatible d'un surmoulage.Typically, the element made of elastomeric material can be overmolded on the

Les matériaux élastomériques utilisables pour former l'élément en matériau élastomérique comprennent tous les thermoplastiques élastomères (TPE) ainsi que les silicones élastomères. Les matériaux utilisables ont avantageusement une dureté shore comprise entre 20 degrés shore et 80 degrés shore (de préférence entre 40 et 60 degrés shore).The elastomeric materials that can be used to form the elastomeric material element include all elastomeric thermoplastics (TPE) as well as elastomeric silicones. The materials which can be used advantageously have a shore hardness of between 20 degrees shore and 80 degrees shore (preferably between 40 and 60 degrees shore).
La dureté du matériau employé est un paramètre important d'optimisation de la recharge, et est choisi notamment selon les dimensions de la cuve de la recharge et selon le matériau utilisé pour former la coque destinée à recevoir la recharge pour former un dispositif de conditionnement d'un produit cosmétique (par exemple un pot). L'élément en matériau élastomérique 8 est en relief vis-à-vis de la surface externe 7 de la paroi latérale 3 de la cuve. En d'autres termes, sur au moins une partie de l'élément en matériau élastomérique 8, ce dernier est en saillie par rapport à la surface externe 7 de la paroi latérale 3.The hardness of the material used is an important parameter for optimizing the refill, and is chosen in particular according to the dimensions of the refill tank and according to the material used to form the shell intended to receive the refill to form a packaging device.

Pour une cuve ayant une forme de révolution, cela se traduit par une orientation des plots 9 parallèle à l'axe de révolution de la cuve. De manière plus générale, les plots sont orientés perpendiculairement à un plan matérialisé par le fond 4 de la cuve, ou si le fond de la cuve ne matérialise pas de plan (par exemple si la cuve est sensiblement sphérique ou en calotte de sphère) les plots sont orientés perpendiculairement à la face ouverte 6 de la cuve 2.In this embodiment, the

L'épaulement 17 est optionnel, la recharge pouvant prendre appui vertical sur d'autres surfaces de la coque, par exemple le rebord 5 de la cuve 2 de la recharge 1 peut prendre appui directement sur le col 15, ou par exemple en l'absence de rebord 5 sur la cuve 2 de la recharge, le fond 4 de la cuve peut prendre appui sur un fond de la coque, si cette dernière comporte un fond. Une coque sans fond peut être avantageuse pour faciliter l'extraction de la recharge.The
Il est notable que la coque 13 ne présente, au niveau de la surface intérieure de la coque 18 destinée à coopérer avec la recharge pour son maintien, aucune aspérité. Par aspérité, on entend un volume, relief ou creux, formé sur une surface et de dimensions bien supérieures aux éventuelles rugosités liées au matériau constitutif de ladite surface. La surface intérieure de la coque 18 ne comporte en particulier aucune rainure, aucun orifice, aucun pion ou aucun anneau d'encliquetage.It is notable that the

La coque peut être réalisée en de nombreux autres matériaux, selon l'aspect recherché, le volume, la forme, le mode de fermeture souhaité, etc. Notamment, la coque peut être en matériau plastique, en bois, en métal (tel que l'acier inoxydable, le fer blanc, ou l'aluminium).The shell can be made of many other materials, depending on the desired appearance, volume, shape, desired closure method, etc. In particular, the shell can be made of plastic, wood, metal (such as stainless steel, tinplate, or aluminum).
Dans la mesure où la surface intérieure de la coque 18 ne comporte pas d'aspérités en vue d'un encliquetage, vissage, etc. de la recharge, un récipient de forme classique, par exemple un récipient à vis classique de verrerie peut être employé sans nécessiter d'adaptation autre que l'adoption de dimensions adaptées à la recharge. Le coût de fabrication de la coque (et au final du dispositif de conditionnement) peut ainsi être réduit, comparativement à des dispositifs de conditionnement dont la coque doit comporter des éléments spécifiques de fixation d'une recharge.Insofar as the inner surface of the

Le pot représenté à la figue 5 comporte ainsi une coque 13, sous la forme d'un récipient en verre à paroi épaisse, qui forme un volume dans lequel est reçu la recharge 1. Dans l'exemple représenté la forme du volume intérieur de la coque 13 correspond ainsi à un jeu près, à la forme extérieure de la cuve 2 (par exemple cylindrique ou légèrement tronconique). La profondeur de ce volume est légèrement supérieure à la hauteur hors tout de la recharge, de sorte que le rebord 5 de la recharge prend appui sur l'épaulement 17 formé à l'embouchure du col 15.The pot shown in FIG. 5 thus comprises a
La
Un jeu J, par exemple de l'ordre de 0,5 mm pour un pot de crème cosmétique de volume classique, par exemple de l'ordre de 60 mL, existe entre la surface intérieure de la coque 18 et la surface externe 7 de la paroi latérale de la cuve 2. L'élément en matériau élastomérique 8 est ménagé dans l'exemple représenté à fleur de la surface externe 7 à l'exception des plots 9 qu'il forme et qui sont en relief, en saillie, vis-à-vis de cette surface externe 7. Ainsi, le même jeu J existe entre la surface intérieure de la coque 18 et l'élément matériau élastomérique 8, sauf au niveau des plots 9. Chaque plot 9 forme une saillie vis-à-vis du niveau de la surface externe 7 de la paroi latérale 3 de la cuve 2 d'une épaisseur E supérieure au jeu J, lorsque le plot n'est pas soumis à une contrainte mécanique extérieure, notamment lorsque le plot 9 n'est pas déformé par compression. Cette configuration libre du plot 9 est représentée en pointillés à la
Afin d'introduire la recharge 1 dans la coque 13 jusqu'à l'appui du rebord 5 sur l'épaulement 17, il est nécessaire de déformer le plot 9 pour qu'il pénètre dans la coque et qu'il prenne appui sur la surface intérieure de la coque 18. Lorsque la recharge 1 est dans la coque 13, le plot 9 a donc une épaisseur, vis-à-vis de la surface externe 17 de la paroi latérale 3 de la cuve 2 égale au jeu J. Le plot 9 comble ainsi le jeu J et exerce du fait de son élasticité une force d'appui sur la surface intérieure de la coque 18.In order to introduce the
Il y a avantageusement plusieurs plots d'appui répartis autour de la cuve 2, de sorte à répartir les appuis sur la surface intérieure de la coque 18 et assurer un maintien efficace et uniforme de la cuve 2 dans la coque 13. En effet, chaque zone d'appui, formée au niveau de chaque plot 9, forme une zone assurant un maintien de la cuve 2 (et donc de la recharge 1) dans la coque 13. Lorsqu'une force tendant à extraire la recharge 1 de la coque 13 est exercée, une force s'opposant à son extraction est créée, par réaction, au niveau des plots, du fait de l'interaction entre chaque plot 9 et la surface intérieure de la coque 18 sur laquelle les plots 9 sont comprimés. Cette force est générée par frottement du plot 9 sur la surface intérieure de la coque 18. Tant que la cuve 2 est immobile dans la coque 13, il s'agit d'une force de frottement dit sec, dont l'intensité est, pour chaque plot 9, au plus égale au coefficient de frottement statique entre le plots 9 multiplié par la force exercée entre la surface intérieure de la coque 18 et le plot 9 du fait de sa compression. Lorsque la force tendant à extraire la cuve de la coque 13 dépasse la somme des forces maximales de frottement statique exercées au niveau des plots 9, la recharge commence à bouger vis-à-vis de la coque pour son extraction.There are advantageously several support pads distributed around the
Il apparait ainsi que le nombre des plots, leurs dimensions, le matériau élastomérique employé, ainsi que le matériau constituant la coque et l'état de surface de la surface interne de la coque sont des paramètres qui permettent de moduler la force nécessaire à la mise en place et l'extraction de la recharge 1. En ce qui concerne l'élément en matériau élastomérique, le matériau qui le constitue, la surface d'appui totale (somme des surfaces d'appui) entre ledit élément en matériau élastomérique et la surface intérieure de la coque 18, et la somme des forces exercées du fait de la compression dudit élément en matériau élastomérique sont des paramètres déterminants lors de la détermination de la configuration de l'élément en matériau élastomérique.It thus appears that the number of studs, their dimensions, the elastomeric material used, as well as the material constituting the shell and the surface condition of the internal surface of the shell are parameters which make it possible to modulate the force necessary for setting. in place and the extraction of the
Quel que soit le mode de réalisation considéré, il est recommandable, pour un pot de produit cosmétique, que la force nécessaire à l'extraction de la recharge soit au moins deux fois supérieure au poids de la recharge pleine, par exemple de l'ordre de deux fois et demi le poids de la recharge pleine.Whatever the embodiment considered, it is advisable, for a jar of cosmetic product, that the force necessary for the extraction of the refill be at least twice the weight of the full refill, for example of the order two and a half times the weight of the full refill.
La présence d'au moins trois plots régulièrement répartis, comme dans l'exemple représenté, permet en outre le centrage de la recharge dans la coque 13.The presence of at least three regularly distributed studs, as in the example shown, also allows the centering of the refill in the

La position des plots 9, en partie haute de la cuve 2, typiquement sous le rebord 5, permet d'introduire en grande partie la recharge dans une coque 13 sans effort, et de l'immobiliser dans la coque par compression des plots 9 à la fin de l'introduction.The position of the

Du fait de la forme allongée verticalement du plot 9, ce dernier est introduit progressivement dans la coque 13, ce qui entraine une augmentation progressive de la force nécessaire à la mise en place de la recharge 1 dans la coque 13 (car la surface de contact entre les plots 9 de la cuve 2 et la surface intérieure de la coque 18 augmente progressivement et proportionnellement avec la longueur de plot introduite) jusqu'au contact entre le rebord 5 et l'épaulement 17.Due to the vertically elongated shape of the
Bien que décrite à l'appui de deux modes réalisations détaillés, la présente invention n'est évidemment pas limitée à ces modes de réalisation. Notamment, la configuration de l'élément élastomérique, de la cuve, et également de la coque peut être très différente des configurations décrites ci-avant. Par exemple, la présence de plots sur l'élément en matériau élastomérique est optionnelle, dès lors qu'au moins une partie dudit élément en matériau élastomérique est en relief par rapport à la surface externe de la cuve. Des formes très variées d'éléments en matériau élastomérique sont envisageables. Plusieurs éléments en matériau élastomérique distincts peuvent être présent sur une même recharge. La cuve peut avoir des formes et des constitutions variées, selon l'application considérée. De même, la coque peut avoir des formes et des constitutions variées. Par exemple la coque peut être cubique, cylindrique, cubique ou parallélépipédique, sphérique, et peut ou non présenter un fond, ou être dotée d'un orifice dans son fond pour faciliter l'extraction d'une recharge.Although described in support of two detailed embodiments, the present invention is obviously not limited to these embodiments. In particular, the configuration of the elastomeric element, of the tank, and also of the shell can be very different from the configurations described above. For example, the presence of pads on the element made of elastomeric material is optional, since at least part of said element made of elastomeric material is in relief with respect to the external surface. of the tank. Very varied shapes of elastomeric material elements are possible. Several distinct elastomeric material elements may be present on the same refill. The tank can have various shapes and constitutions, depending on the application considered. Likewise, the shell can have various shapes and constitutions. For example, the shell may be cubic, cylindrical, cubic or parallelepiped, spherical, and may or may not have a bottom, or be provided with an orifice in its bottom to facilitate the extraction of a refill.
L'invention ainsi développée permet le maintien amovible d'une recharge de produit cosmétique dans une coque afin de former un dispositif de conditionnement de produit cosmétique esthétique et rechargeable par échange de la recharge. Le maintien est obtenu par friction de l'élément en matériau élastomérique sur une surface interne de la coque. Les moyens de maintien, notamment l'élément élastomérique, peuvent être totalement invisibles une fois le pot constitué, et être peu visibles sur la recharge. L'élément en matériau élastomérique peut également constituer un élément de différenciation visuelle, esthétique, ou un élément de différenciation haptique pour le produit.The invention thus developed allows the removable maintenance of a cosmetic product refill in a shell in order to form a device for packaging an aesthetic cosmetic product which is refillable by exchanging the refill. The maintenance is obtained by friction of the element made of elastomeric material on an internal surface of the shell. The retaining means, in particular the elastomeric element, can be completely invisible once the pot has been formed, and be hardly visible on the refill. The element made of elastomeric material can also constitute an element of visual or aesthetic differentiation, or an element of haptic differentiation for the product.
En outre, la coque peut avoir une forme simple à produire, car la surface intérieure de la coque destinée à interagir avec l'élément en matériau élastomérique de la recharge pour son maintien ne nécessite la formation d'aucun dispositif mécanique particulier. Un récipient préexistant, par exemple un récipient de verrerie classique, peut ainsi être employé sans adaptation en tant que coque du dispositif de conditionnement de produit cosmétique.In addition, the shell can have a shape that is simple to produce, since the inner surface of the shell intended to interact with the elastomeric material element of the refill for its maintenance does not require the formation of any particular mechanical device. A pre-existing container, for example a conventional glassware container, can thus be used without adaptation as the shell of the device for packaging cosmetic product.
