Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of containers for cosmetic products, and more particularly closures for such containers.
  • Containers are traditionally made entirely or partly of plastic, and are all waste that can pollute the environment.
  • Plastic is used not only for its minimal cost, but also for its elastic properties. It is common for the assembly of the cover to the cosmetic container to be done by elastic interlocking, also called clipping. This involves locally and temporarily deforming a piece of plastic to insert it into another and thus assemble, for example, a cap to its container.
  • the hoop may be metallic, but the fact remains that the stopper, which has the elastic interlocking protrusion, is made of plastic.
  • the stopper which has the elastic interlocking protrusion, is made of plastic.
  • metal caps are traditionally made by stamping, and close the perfume by simple friction against the ring, without resistance or possible clicking, which gives the user the impression of a product of lesser quality.
  • elastically deformable (that is to say elastic deformation) connection zone elastic interlocking can be achieved between two closure elements, that is to say between a ring and a cap.
  • the closure assembly 9 comprises a closure element in the form of a cover 14, and another closure element in the form of a ring 12 of the container 10.
  • the two closure elements are adapted to cooperate with each other.
  • the ring 12 cooperates with the cover 14 between a closed position and an open position (illustrated in figure 1 ).
  • the ring and the cover 14 are two independent articles which can be assembled together or not depending on whether one wishes to access the cosmetic product.
  • the ring 12 can be a part attached to the container 10 such as, for example, a collar of a perfume bottle, or else be integrally formed with the container, such as for example being a section (plastic or not) of a red-type container. lips.
  • the container for cosmetic product can be any container receiving a liquid, semi-liquid or solid cosmetic product.
  • a perfume for example, a lipstick, a jar of cream, a mascara, or even a gloss, a varnish, the list being non-exhaustive. It can be made of various materials: glass, metal, plastic for example.
  • the container 10 is a lipstick (shown in dotted lines) and the cosmetic product is a lipstick stick 16.
  • the container 10 is a perfume bottle 110 (shown in dotted lines).
  • a closure assembly 109 for container 110 is similar to assembly 9, and includes a cap 114 and associated ring 112 .
  • the cover 114 makes it possible to protect a mechanism 118 for dispensing perfume, here, a spray diffuser.
  • Ring 112 is a hoop arranged around a neck 113 of the perfume bottle. Cover 114 and ring 112 can have any of the embodiments discussed below for cover 14 and ring 12 (and vice versa).
  • the example of the lipstick 10 or the example of the perfume bottle 110 will be used in turn to illustrate different embodiments of the closure assembly, without the cap and/or ring and/or assembly closure described is linked to the type of container.
  • the word "ring" is used in this description to indicate a part of the container (part attached or not) with which the cover cooperates, without implying that this part has a particular shape, such as, for example, annular.
  • the cap can be any means of closing a container for cosmetic product, for example, a cap, a stopper or a lid.
  • Container 10 shown in dotted line Figure 1 is a lipstick case.
  • the cover 14 serves to protect the lipstick stick 16 from the container 10.
  • the cover 14 occupies a closed position, that is to say assembled, to the container 10 the lipstick stick 16 is protected from the environment. outside.
  • the hood 14 is in the open position (as shown in figure 1 ) the stick 16 is exposed and accessible for application by a user.
  • Container 10 further includes a portion of a lipstick dispensing mechanism 18 .
  • the dispensing mechanism 18 is a traditional lipstick dispensing mechanism, and will not be discussed in detail here.
  • the stick 16 can be attached to the rest of the container 10, so that when the lipstick is finished, the entire container 10 can be discarded.
  • the grape 16 (and possibly part of the dispensing mechanism 18) can be removable from the container 10, so that the grape, when finished, can be replaced by another grape compatible with the container 10, without discarding the container 10.
  • the ring 12 is arranged around a base 13 of the lipstick, which is used to put the dispensing mechanism 18 into action.
  • the assembly of the cover 14 on the container 10 is typically done by translation from one to the other (direction of movement D1), which results in friction from one to the other until the cover 14 is engaged on the ring 12.
  • the cover 14 is fitted reversibly by friction to the ring 12. It is disassemblable from the ring 12 by translation in a direction of movement D2 opposite to D1.
  • the assembly can also be done by elastic interlocking between the ring 12 and the cover 14, that is to say by clipping.
  • the cover 14 and the associated ring 12 are shown here as being of circular section. It could however be that the cover 10 and the ring 12 are of different shapes, such as for example of elliptical or square or hexagonal section.
  • the cover 14 and its interaction with the ring 12 to ensure the reversible closure of the container 10 will be discussed in greater detail.
  • the characteristics of the cover 14 of the lipstick container 10 are applicable to the cover 114 for the container 110 perfume bottle.
  • similar numerical references but in different hundreds will be used to describe different embodiments of the cap (applicable to any container for cosmetic product) without describing the same elements in detail again. .
  • the assembly of the cover 14 on the container 10 takes place between an internal wall 20 of the cover 14 and the ring 12 of the container 10 by translation from one to the other in the directions of movement D1, D2.
  • the ring 12 with which the internal wall cooperates can be made of various materials. It can be, for example, metal, or plastic, or glass.
  • the inner wall 20 is an inner wall of an inner cover 32, and the cover 14 is then the assembly of the inner cover 32 and an outer cover 34 serving as a trim mounted on the outside of the inner cover 32.
  • the two can be fixed together, for example by an adhesive, or just fixedly assembled together by friction.
  • the outer cover 34 can be made of any material and have any desired shape. The outer cover 34 makes it possible to hide the inner cover 32 from the eye of the user.
  • the inner wall 20 has one or more metallic and elastically deformable connection zones 24 .
  • connection areas 24 are integrally formed with the internal wall 20 so that the internal wall and the connection areas 24 are of the same metallic material.
  • the connection zones 24 are fixed to the internal wall 20, for example welded if the internal wall 20 is metallic, or glued or fixedly interlocked (for example clipped or captive connection).
  • the inner wall 20 can be metallic or plastic.
  • the inner wall 20 of the cover 14 has three connection zones 24 facing each other at equidistant from each other (one being visible and another partially visible). It could however be that the inner wall 20 has just one, two or more than three connection zones 24.
  • the number and positions of the connection zones 24 can depend on the shape of the cover 14 and the degree of resistance to opening desired. . For example, if the cover 14 has a square section, the connection zones 24 can be located on two opposite sides of the internal wall 20 of the cover 14.
  • connection zone 24 will be described as an example of an elastically deformable connection zone.
  • the connection zones 24 of the same cover 14 can be identical to each other, or be different from each other, for example by adopting one or more of the embodiments described below.
  • connection zone 24 The shape and the construction of the connection zone 24 are particularly chosen to make it possible to accomplish a reversible interlocking of the cover 14 on the ring 12, although the internal wall 20 of the latter is metallic. For this the elastic zone of the deformation of the metal of the connection zone 24 is exploited.
  • each of the connection zones 24 comprises an elastically deformable connection tongue 26 partially detached from the rest of the internal wall 20.
  • the tongue 26 is adapted to cooperate elastically with the ring 12 to assemble the cover 14 to the ring 12 many times.
  • the tab 26 deforms over the actions assembly and disassembly of the cover 14 on the ring 12 without losing its original shape once at rest (that is to say when the cover 14 is disengaged from the ring 12).
  • Metal is known to be a plastic material, ie when given a deformation, it remains in a non-initial, deformed shape, even after the deformation force is removed.
  • metal under certain low deformation forces has an elastic deformation zone, in which when given a deformation, it returns to its original shape, after the deformation force is removed.
  • the connection zone 24, in particular the tongue 26, have sizes and shapes chosen so that the tongue 26 remains in the elastic deformation zone of the metal constituting it when the cover 14 is assembled to the ring 12.

  • the deformation may be plastic, that is to say irreversible. In this case, there will no longer be a connection by elastic interlocking. If, on the other hand, the tongue is subject to too little or no deformation, snap fit also cannot take place. Thus, the tongue is designed to be neither too much nor too little deformable, so as to remain within the domain of the elastic deformation of the material.

  • the tongue 826 is connected to the rest of the internal wall by three adjacent sides 852 and detached from the internal wall by one side 854.
  • the side 854 of the tongue 826 which is disconnected from the internal wall is a side parallel to the directions of movement D1, D2.
  • the parallelepipedic tongue can also be connected by a single side.
  • the parallelepipedic tongue can be positioned so that one or more of its sides are at a non-zero and non-perpendicular angle with the directions of movement D1, D2.
  • a tab 926 of cap 914 is illustrated in figure 13 .
  • the sides of tab 926 that are disconnected from inner wall 920 are distal sides 954 to the open end 913 of cap 914, and the sides of tab 926 that are connected from inner wall 920 are proximal sides 954 at the open end 913 of the cap 914.
  • the tab could be disconnected by only one of the two distal sides 954. Although this is not the case for the tab 926 shown at figure 13 , tab 926 could have features of the other tabs discussed above, such as transition surfaces.
  • the tabs described above and illustrated in the figures 3 to 13 are disposed at a distance from the open end of the cap. It could however be that the tab has one side arranged at the level of the open end of the cap.
  • Such a tab 1026 of cap 1014 is illustrated in figure 14 .
  • the tab 1026 is formed by two incisions 1030 in the inner wall 1020 which communicate with an open end 1013 (i.e. the end proximal to the container 10) of the cap 1014.
  • the tab 1026 is connected to the rest of the wall internal 1020 by only one side 1054, distal of the open end 1013 of the cap 1014.
  • the tongue 1026 illustrated according to an embodiment, the tongue similar to those described above, between side 1054 and a flat surface of tongue 1026.
  • the tab is not parallelepipedic in shape.
  • An example of such a tab 1126 of cover 1124 is shown in Picture 15 .
  • the tongue 1126 is circular in shape and connected to the rest of the internal wall by an arc of a circle.
  • the arc of a circle is a semicircle, or three-quarters of a circle.
  • the tab 1026 is detached from the rest of the internal wall 1120 in several places of the circle. It can for example be connected to the rest of the internal wall at three points or zones equidistant from the circle.
  • the circular shape is not necessarily a circle.
  • the circular shape could be an oval or any other curved shape.
  • the tab 1126 is connected to the rest of the inner wall 1120 by a portion 1154 proximal to the open end 1113 of the cap 1114.
  • the disconnected portion could have a rim as illustrated in figure 15 .
  • the connecting tab could have a shape comprising curved parts and straight parts, forming a sort of mixture of the above embodiments.
  • the closure element which included the elastic deformation zone was the cap.
  • the closure element which includes the elastic deformation zone is the ring, so that the closing capacities of the cover and of the ring are reversed compared to what has been written so far.
  • the ring would have an outer wall similar to the inner wall described below and one or more areas of elastically deformable connection as discussed above.
  • the inner cover cooperating with such a ring having zones of elastic deformation would then have the characteristics described above with regard to the ring, such as a protrusion or a groove or even a smooth wall.
  • each of the closure elements (cap and ring) have elastic deformation zones so as to cooperate with each other.
