Definitions

  • the present invention relates to cosmetic product dispensing devices which include a base and a cartridge configured to be removably coupled together.
  • the present relates in particular to lipstick dispensing devices.
  • a cosmetic product dispensing device may include a base and a cartridge coupled to the base. This is particularly the case of lipstick dispensing devices.
  • the cartridge encloses a lipstick stick and the base allows the lipstick dispensing device to be gripped.
  • the cartridge and base are aligned along a longitudinal axis of the dispensing device.
  • the base can be rotated relative to the cartridge to dispense lipstick.
  • a control sleeve of the cartridge it is possible to move the receptacle of the lipstick stick (also called cup) along the longitudinal axis of the dispensing device .
  • the base and the cartridge are permanently mated. Therefore, when the lipstick grape is consumed, it is necessary to purchase a new dispensing device in full.
  • dispensing devices have therefore been produced in which the base and the cartridge are removably coupled.
  • the base and the cartridge are removably coupled.
  • connection between the cartridge and the base can be made in several ways.
  • the coupling can be magnetic.
  • the cartridge can have an element made of a ferromagnetic material and the base a magnet adapted to cooperate with the ferromagnetic element.
  • This type of coupling can have the disadvantage that the cartridge is detached from the base during use following incorrect handling by the user.
  • connection between the cartridge and the base involves elastic interlocking of one with respect to the other (clipping). Over time, this connection can become loose and cause the cartridge to disconnect unexpectedly from the base.
  • the refillable cosmetic product dispensing assembly forms an intuitive, finger-friendly and mechanically reliable system for locking and unlocking the cartridge.
  • a dispensing 8 refillable cosmetic product including lipstick according to one embodiment is shown.
  • the dispensing, or lipstick 8 includes a lipstick receptacle 11 and a separate removable cartridge 14 .
  • the receptacle 11 is an outer envelope of the dispensation 8 and comprises a base 12 adapted to receive the cartridge 14, and a cap 16 which cooperates with the base so as to create an outer protective envelope around the cartridge 14.
  • the cap 16 is connected to the base 12, for example by a magnetic or mechanical device, the cartridge 14 is not accessible. To make it accessible, cap 16 is disengaged from base 12.
  • the cartridge 14 connectable with the base 12 selectively (ie removable) in order to be able to reuse the base 12 when desired (for example the cartridge 14 is empty or another color of lipstick is desired) by inserting a replacement cartridge.
  • the base 12 and the cap 16 are thus reusable.
  • the refillable lipstick 8 then makes it possible to use an outer casing (ie the receptacle 11) of superior quality, but also to reduce the consumption of packaging and therefore of plastic.
  • the receptacle 11 is of circular section. It could however be that the assembly 10 has a different cross-section shape, such as for example square, oval or hexagonal.
  • the coupling between the base 12 and the cartridge 14 can be achieved in several ways.
  • the coupling can be carried out by magnetic connection or by elastic interlocking.
  • the base 12 and the cartridge 14 have a coupling configured so that only the cartridges 14 of a given brand or model can cooperate with a predetermined base.
  • a code can be set up between the cartridge 14 and the base 12.
  • the cartridge 14 and the base 12 form an assembly 10 which, when the cartridge 14 is assembled to the base 12, defines a longitudinal axis L.
  • the longitudinal axis L is also a longitudinal axis of the cartridge 14.
  • the cartridge 14 has a protective sleeve 18 which, in the embodiment shown in the figures, extends over the entire height of the cartridge 14 so as to protect the internal elements of the cartridge like a lipstick stick 20 or a control socket (not shown in figure 1 ).
  • the control socket is, according to one embodiment, accessible only through a bottom of the cartridge 14 so that the protective sheath 18 prevents accidental triggering of a lipstick dispensing system.
  • the dispensing system is a known system in the field of lipsticks where the lipstick stick 20 is placed in a cup, which can be moved along the longitudinal axis L when the control sleeve rotates.
  • the base 12 comprises a locking system (described below according to various embodiments) which prevents any uncoupling between the base 12 and the cartridge 14.
  • the locking system essentially comprises two elements: a receiving element which receives a lower part of the cartridge 14, and a locking element which is rotatable relative to the receiving element. This locking system can duplicate the coupling between the base and the cartridge, in order to prevent involuntary separation of the cartridge from the base. Different locking systems will be described in relation to the figures 2 to 17 .
  • the user by a simple rotation gesture, similar to that which she would perform to activate the lipstick dispensing system, can secure the refill cartridge 14 to the base 12.
  • the user takes with two fingers a locking ring 30 integral with the receiving element of the base 12 and turns with the fingers of the opposite hand an outer casing 33 of the base 12, which is integral with the locking element until an effective locking is obtained between the base 12 and the cartridge 14.
  • the locking takes place while the cartridge 14 remains fixed in rotation in the base 12.
  • the Figure 2 shows a cutting section of a lipstick 108 according to a first embodiment having a removable lipstick cartridge 114 therein.
  • the lipstick 108 comprises a receptacle 111 which is an outer casing of the lipstick 108.
  • the receptacle 111 comprises a base 112 adapted to receive the cartridge 114, and a cap 116 which cooperates with the base 112 so as to create an outer protective casing around the cartridge 114.
  • the cap 116 is connected to the base 112, for example by a magnetic and/or mechanical device 117 , the cartridge 114 is not accessible. To make it accessible, the cap 116 is disengaged from the base 112.
  • the device 117 is mechanical and consists of studs distributed equidistantly around the base 112 and which create friction with the cap 116 for the hold in place on the base 112 (more visible at the picture 3 ).
  • the dispensing assembly 100 includes the base 112 of the lipstick 108 and the removable cartridge 114 .
  • the cartridge 114 has an outer sleeve 118 (similar to the protective sleeve 18) and a control sleeve 122 internal to the sleeve 118 and disposed in a lower portion 123 of the cartridge 114.
  • the control sleeve 122 allows the extraction of cosmetic product of the cartridge 114 by actuating a dispensing system 126 of the lipstick (visible in Figure 2 ).
  • the dispensing system 126 is a conventional system for extracting a lipstick stick from a lipstick tube and will not be described in detail here.
  • the cartridge 114 has an opening 130 in the control socket 122 to allow connection with the base 112. This opening can also serve as a code between the base 112 and the cartridge 114, insofar as only a base 112 is suitable for engaging in this opening and securing the cartridge 114 will allow the coupling between the base 112 and the cartridge 114.
  • the base 112 comprises a receiving element 132 of the cartridge 114 which cooperates with the cartridge 114 when the latter is placed in the base 112, and a locking element 148 in order to secure the cartridge 114 in the base 112.
