Definitions

  • the invention relates to a receptacle for dispensing a cosmetic product, of the treatment cream or makeup powder type.
  • This receptacle is refillable with cosmetic products.
  • the receptacle comprises a base receiving a cup packaging a cosmetic product.
  • the bucket When the bucket is empty, simply remove it and place a new one in the base.
  • cosmetic product dispenser receptacles which are generally made of plastic, and which include a base connected to a cover via a hinge-type pivot connection with a metal pin.

  • a mirror can also be glued to the lid so the user can look at themselves when applying makeup.
  • the product is then accessible, as well as the mirror.
  • the plastic pin is more fragile and generates a rotational movement of the cover (and the platform) which is free, without constraint due to plastic-on-plastic contact.
  • the lid and the platform tend to “fall” when opening and closing, especially in the case of a lid with a mirror, due to the weight of the mirror.
  • there is no brake which makes it possible to obtain an intermediate position (that is to say between the closed position and the open position) of the cover and the platform.
  • This braking was intrinsically ensured by the metal pin in the prior art, because of the metallic material and its friction with plastic parts, the contact between the metal and the plastic creating a constraint which made it possible to position the cover and the platform in multiple positions, without them “falling”.
  • a hinge with rotation damping means consisting of a pivot inducing a friction force thanks to a viscous fluid, this force opposing the rotation of the cover.
  • the present invention aims to overcome the various drawbacks stated above, by means of a receptacle containing a removable cup, without the use of glue, and comprising a cover which can stably occupy several positions with degrees of different inclinations according to the user's wishes, while using a single plastic material to allow optimal recycling of the receptacle.
  • This receptacle is mainly characterized in that it includes means for braking the cover when opening and closing, located in the rear part of the receptacle, and in that it also includes means for braking the platform when opening and closing, located in the rear part of the receptacle.
  • the main idea of this invention is to add braking means to the cover so that it can take multiple intermediate positions between the closed position and the open position. This allows the user to tilt the cover to their liking, which is very practical especially when a mirror is positioned in the cover, because the latter holds in place when the user looks at themselves while applying makeup. These braking means make it possible to avoid a sudden fall of the cover. This braking induces a tight rotation of the cover, and no longer free.
  • the first and second pivot connections are without metal pins, so as not to mix the materials, and to allow easy recycling of the receptacle. Thanks to the pivot connections without a metal pin associated with the braking means, we achieve a result close to the holding of a metal pin with regard to the movements and positions of the cover and the platform.
  • the invention also relates to an assembly comprising a receptacle and a cup containing the cosmetic product and being housed inside the base of the receptacle.

Description

Domaine technique de l'inventionTechnical field of the invention

L'invention concerne un réceptacle distributeur d'un produit cosmétique, du type crème de soin ou poudre à maquiller. Ce réceptacle est rechargeable en produit cosmétique.The invention relates to a receptacle for dispensing a cosmetic product, of the treatment cream or makeup powder type. This receptacle is refillable with cosmetic products.

En l'espèce, le réceptacle comprend une base recevant un godet conditionnant un produit cosmétique. Lorsque le godet est vide, il suffit de le retirer et d'en mettre un nouveau dans la base.In this case, the receptacle comprises a base receiving a cup packaging a cosmetic product. When the bucket is empty, simply remove it and place a new one in the base.

Arrière-plan techniqueTechnical background

On connait les réceptacles distributeur de produit cosmétique, qui sont généralement conçus en plastique, et qui comprennent une base reliée à un couvercle via une liaison pivot du type charnière avec une goupille métallique. Un godet rempli de produit cosmétique est traditionnellement collé au fond de la base, afin qu'il ne bouge pas par rapport à la base lorsque l'utilisateur prélève du produit.We know cosmetic product dispenser receptacles, which are generally made of plastic, and which include a base connected to a cover via a hinge-type pivot connection with a metal pin. A cup filled with cosmetic product is traditionally glued to the bottom of the base, so that it does not move relative to the base when the user takes product.

Un miroir peut également être collé au couvercle pour que l'utilisateur puisse se regarder lorsqu'il se maquille.A mirror can also be glued to the lid so the user can look at themselves when applying makeup.

Lorsque le couvercle est rabattu sur la base, et fermé par encliquetage de préférence, alors le produit contenu dans le godet est protégé, et le réceptacle est facilement transportable.When the lid is folded back onto the base, and preferably closed by snap, then the product contained in the bucket is protected, and the receptacle is easily transportable.

Lorsque le couvercle est ouvert, le produit est alors accessible, ainsi que le miroir.When the lid is opened, the product is then accessible, as well as the mirror.

L'un des inconvénients de ce type de réceptacle est qu'il n'est pas recyclable, notamment à cause de la présence de la colle, et aussi à cause de la diversité des matériaux employés (plastique et métal) pour le fabriquer.One of the disadvantages of this type of receptacle is that it is not recyclable, in particular because of the presence of glue, and also because of the diversity of materials used (plastic and metal) to manufacture it.

Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, il est connu de maintenir le godet dans la base par un autre moyen que la colle, en l'espèce par une plateforme pivotante intercalée entre la base et le couvercle, et venant en appui contre le godet pour le maintenir en position dans la base. La plateforme est dotée d'une grande fenêtre centrale à travers laquelle le produit est accessible. De la même manière, il est possible de fixer le miroir sans colle.To remedy this drawback, it is known to hold the bucket in the base by another means than glue, in this case by a pivoting platform inserted between the base and the cover, and bearing against the bucket to hold it in position in the base. The platform has a large central window through which the product is accessible. In the same way, it is possible to attach the mirror without glue.

Il est également connu de remplacer la goupille métallique par une goupille plastique, afin d'avoir l'intégralité du réceptacle (hors godet) en plastique, dans un seul matériau à des fins de recyclabilité.It is also known to replace the metal pin with a plastic pin, in order to have the entire receptacle (excluding the bucket) made of plastic, in a single material for recyclability purposes.

Cependant, la goupille plastique est plus fragile et engendre un mouvement de rotation du couvercle (et de la plateforme) qui est libre, sans contrainte à cause du contact plastique sur plastique. Ainsi, le couvercle et la plateforme ont tendance à « tomber » à l'ouverture et à la fermeture, surtout dans le cas d'un couvercle avec un miroir, du fait du poids du miroir. En effet, il n'y a aucun frein qui permette d'obtenir une position intermédiaire (c'est-à-dire entre la position fermée et la position ouverte) du couvercle et de la plateforme. Ce freinage était intrinsèquement assuré par la goupille métallique dans l'art antérieur, à cause du matériau métallique et de son frottement avec des parties plastiques, le contact entre le métal et le plastique créant une contrainte qui permettait de positionner le couvercle et la plateforme dans de multiples positions, sans qu'ils « tombent ».However, the plastic pin is more fragile and generates a rotational movement of the cover (and the platform) which is free, without constraint due to plastic-on-plastic contact. Thus, the lid and the platform tend to “fall” when opening and closing, especially in the case of a lid with a mirror, due to the weight of the mirror. In fact, there is no brake which makes it possible to obtain an intermediate position (that is to say between the closed position and the open position) of the cover and the platform. This braking was intrinsically ensured by the metal pin in the prior art, because of the metallic material and its friction with plastic parts, the contact between the metal and the plastic creating a constraint which made it possible to position the cover and the platform in multiple positions, without them “falling”.

De plus, la tenue mécanique dans le temps de la goupille plastique n'est pas concluante.In addition, the mechanical resistance over time of the plastic pin is not conclusive.

Il est connu du document EP 1 454 558 , une charnière avec un moyen amortisseur de rotation, consistant en un pivot induisant une force de frottement grâce à un fluide visqueux, cette force s'opposant à la rotation du couvercle.It is known from the document EP 1 454 558 , a hinge with rotation damping means, consisting of a pivot inducing a friction force thanks to a viscous fluid, this force opposing the rotation of the cover.

Résumé de l'inventionSummary of the invention

La présente invention a pour objectif de pallier les différents inconvénients énoncés ci-dessus, au moyen d'un réceptacle contenant un godet amovible, sans l'utilisation de colle, et comprenant un couvercle qui puisse occuper de façon stable plusieurs positions avec des degrés d'inclinaison différents selon les souhaits de l'utilisateur, et cela tout en utilisant un unique matériau plastique afin de permettre un recyclage optimal du réceptacle.The present invention aims to overcome the various drawbacks stated above, by means of a receptacle containing a removable cup, without the use of glue, and comprising a cover which can stably occupy several positions with degrees of different inclinations according to the user's wishes, while using a single plastic material to allow optimal recycling of the receptacle.

Le réceptacle distributeur de produit cosmétique selon l'invention comporte, de façon classique :

  • une base apte à recevoir un godet contenant le produit;
  • un couvercle mobile en rotation entre une position de fermeture du réceptacle et une position d'ouverture du réceptacle, relié à la base par une première liaison pivot en partie arrière du réceptacle ;
  • une plateforme intermédiaire de maintien en position du godet, cette plateforme étant localisée entre la base et le couvercle et étant mobile en rotation entre une position de fermeture apte à serrer le godet et une position d'ouverture permettant le retrait du godet, cette plateforme étant reliée à la base par une seconde liaison pivot en partie arrière du réceptacle.
The cosmetic product dispenser receptacle according to the invention comprises, in a conventional manner:
  • a base capable of receiving a bucket containing the product;
  • a cover movable in rotation between a closed position of the receptacle and an open position of the receptacle, connected to the base by a first pivot connection in the rear part of the receptacle;
  • an intermediate platform for holding the bucket in position, this platform being located between the base and the cover and being movable in rotation between a closed position capable of clamping the bucket and an open position allowing the removal of the bucket, this platform being connected to the base by a second pivot connection in the rear part of the receptacle.

Ce réceptacle se caractérise à titre principal en ce qu'il comporte des moyens de freinage du couvercle à l'ouverture et à la fermeture, localisés en partie arrière du réceptacle, et en ce qu'il comporte également des moyens de freinage de la plateforme à l'ouverture et à la fermeture, localisés en partie arrière du réceptacle.This receptacle is mainly characterized in that it includes means for braking the cover when opening and closing, located in the rear part of the receptacle, and in that it also includes means for braking the platform when opening and closing, located in the rear part of the receptacle.

L'idée principale de cette invention consiste à ajouter des moyens de freinage du couvercle afin qu'il puisse prendre de multiples positions intermédiaires entre la position fermée et la position ouverte. Cela permet à l'utilisateur d'incliner le couvercle à sa convenance, ce qui est très pratique surtout lorsqu'un miroir est positionné dans le couvercle, car ce dernier tient en place lorsque l'utilisateur se regarde en se maquillant. Ces moyens de freinage permettent d'éviter une chute brutale du couvercle. Ce freinage induit une rotation serrante du couvercle, et non plus libre.The main idea of this invention is to add braking means to the cover so that it can take multiple intermediate positions between the closed position and the open position. This allows the user to tilt the cover to their liking, which is very practical especially when a mirror is positioned in the cover, because the latter holds in place when the user looks at themselves while applying makeup. These braking means make it possible to avoid a sudden fall of the cover. This braking induces a tight rotation of the cover, and no longer free.

Il en est de même pour la plateforme, qui est désormais elle-aussi dotée de moyens de freinage, produisant les mêmes bénéfices.The same goes for the platform, which is now also equipped with braking means, producing the same benefits.

Les première et seconde liaisons pivot sont sans goupille métallique, afin de ne pas mélanger les matières, et de permettre un recyclage aisé du réceptacle. Grâce aux liaisons pivot sans goupille métallique associées aux moyens de freinage, on arrive à un résultat proche de la tenue d'une goupille métallique pour ce qui est des mouvements et des positions du couvercle et de la plateforme.The first and second pivot connections are without metal pins, so as not to mix the materials, and to allow easy recycling of the receptacle. Thanks to the pivot connections without a metal pin associated with the braking means, we achieve a result close to the holding of a metal pin with regard to the movements and positions of the cover and the platform.

L'invention concerne également un ensemble comprenant un réceptacle et un godet contenant le produit cosmétique et venant se loger à l'intérieur de la base du réceptacle.The invention also relates to an assembly comprising a receptacle and a cup containing the cosmetic product and being housed inside the base of the receptacle.

Description détaillée de l'inventionDetailed description of the invention

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

Par convention, la direction « axiale » correspond à celle d'extension principale du réceptacle, illustré par l'axe X sur la figure 1, et la direction « radiale » est orthogonale à la direction axiale.By convention, the “axial” direction corresponds to that of main extension of the receptacle, illustrated by the X axis on the figure 1 , and the “radial” direction is orthogonal to the axial direction.

Dans la description détaillée des figures qui suit, on utilisera de manière non limitative les termes « supérieur » et « inférieur » ou encore « haut » et « bas » en référence à la direction axiale. Ainsi, Le terme « supérieur » s'entend d'une partie se situant au voisinage d'un couvercle du réceptacle, et le terme « inférieur » s'entend d'une partie se situant au voisinage d'un fond du réceptacle. De la même manière, les termes «extérieur ou externe» et «intérieur ou interne» sont utilisés en référence à la direction radiale, un élément extérieur étant radialement plus éloigné de l'axe X qu'un élément intérieur.In the detailed description of the figures which follows, the terms “upper” and “lower” or “top” and “bottom” will be used in a non-limiting manner with reference to the axial direction. Thus, the term “upper” means a part located in the vicinity of a cover of the receptacle, and the term “lower” means a part located in the vicinity of a bottom of the receptacle. Similarly, the terms "exterior or external" and "interior or internal" are used in reference to the radial direction, with an exterior element being radially further from the X axis than an interior element.

La figure 1 montre le réceptacle 1 en position fermée.There figure 1 shows receptacle 1 in the closed position.

Il s'agit d'un réceptacle 1 particulièrement adapté pour contenir des produits de maquillage du type poudre compactée à maquiller. Ce produit cosmétique est contenu dans un godet 34 localisé à l'intérieur du réceptacle 1.This is a receptacle 1 particularly suitable for containing makeup products such as compacted makeup powder. This cosmetic product is contained in a cup 34 located inside the receptacle 1.

Ce réceptacle 1 est cylindrique.This receptacle 1 is cylindrical.

Ce réceptacle 1 se compose traditionnellement d'une base 2 à laquelle est relié un couvercle 3 via une première liaison pivot.This receptacle 1 is traditionally composed of a base 2 to which a cover 3 is connected via a first pivot connection.

La liaison pivot se situe en partie arrière AR du réceptacle 1, tandis que la partie avant AV du réceptacle 1, située à l'opposé de la partie arrière, présente un fermoir.The pivot connection is located in the rear rear part of the receptacle 1, while the front front part of the receptacle 1, located opposite the rear part, has a clasp.

Ce couvercle 3 est mobile entre une position fermée comme illustrée en figure 1 et une position ouverte comme illustrée en figure 2 où le produit cosmétique est alors accessible.This cover 3 is movable between a closed position as illustrated in figure 1 and an open position as shown in figure 2 where the cosmetic product is then accessible.

Sur cette figure 2, le couvercle 3 est ouvert à 180°.On this figure 2 , cover 3 is open 180°.

Une plateforme 4 de maintien en position du godet 34 est visible ici en position fermée sur la base 2. Le godet 34 est intercalé entre la base 2 et la plateforme 4.A platform 4 for holding the bucket 34 in position is visible here in the closed position on the base 2. The bucket 34 is inserted between the base 2 and the platform 4.

La plateforme 4 présente une fenêtre centrale à travers laquelle il est possible de percevoir le produit cosmétique contenu dans le godet 34.The platform 4 has a central window through which it is possible to perceive the cosmetic product contained in the cup 34.

Le godet 34 peut présenter tout type de forme, et de zone technique particulière. Sur les figures illustrées, le godet 34 est cylindrique.The bucket 34 can have any type of shape, and particular technical zone. In the illustrated figures, the bucket 34 is cylindrical.

Le godet 34 est en acier traité ou en alu. Tout autre matériau peut être envisagé dans le cadre de la présente invention.Bucket 34 is made of treated steel or aluminum. Any other material can be considered in the context of the present invention.

La plateforme 4 est reliée à la base 2 via une seconde liaison pivot, comme cela est mieux visible figure 3. En effet, la plateforme 4 est pivotante entre une position fermée comme en figure 2, où le godet 34 est maintenu en position quelle que soit la position du couvercle 3, et une position ouverte comme en figure 3, où le godet 34 est libéré, permettant à l'utilisateur d'avoir accès au godet 34, notamment s'il souhaite le remplacer.Platform 4 is connected to base 2 via a second pivot link, as is better visible Figure 3 . Indeed, the platform 4 is pivotable between a closed position as in figure 2 , where the bucket 34 is held in position regardless of the position of the cover 3, and an open position as in Figure 3 , where the bucket 34 is released, allowing the user to have access to the bucket 34, particularly if he wishes to replace it.

La seconde liaison pivot est également située en partie arrière du réceptacle 1, comme la première liaison pivot.The second pivot link is also located in the rear part of the receptacle 1, like the first pivot link.

En figure 4, on aperçoit la partie arrière du réceptacle 1, avec les deux liaisons pivot.In figure 4 , we can see the rear part of the receptacle 1, with the two pivot connections.

En figure 5, on aperçoit encore la partie arrière du réceptacle 1, notamment la partie arrière de la base 2, de la plateforme 4, et du couvercle 3, laissant apparaître les différentes liaisons charnières de façon plus précise.In figure 5 , we can still see the rear part of the receptacle 1, in particular the rear part of the base 2, the platform 4, and the cover 3, revealing the different hinge connections in a more precise manner.

Les figures 6 à 8 montrent la base 2 du réceptacle 1.THE figures 6 to 8 show base 2 of receptacle 1.

La plateforme 4 est illustrée sur les figures 9 à 11. Elle présente une forme annulaire, avec la grande fenêtre centrale qui permet de libérer l'accès vers le godet 34 une fois que tout est mis en place dans le réceptacle 1.Platform 4 is shown on the figures 9 to 11 . It has an annular shape, with the large central window which allows free access to the bucket 34 once everything is placed in the receptacle 1.

Le couvercle 3 quant à lui est illustré sur les figures 12 et 13.Cover 3 is illustrated on the figures 12 and 13 .

Cette base 2 est ouverte en partie supérieure. Elle comporte un fond 5 et une paroi périphérique 37. Elle comporte également une jupe 8 intérieure définissant un logement pour accueillir le godet 34. Cette jupe 8 permet donc de contenir latéralement le godet 34.This base 2 is open at the top. It has a bottom 5 and a peripheral wall 37. It also includes an interior skirt 8 defining a housing to accommodate the bucket 34. This skirt 8 therefore makes it possible to contain the bucket 34 laterally.

Dans cette jupe 8 intérieure, se trouvent deux onglets latéraux 7 permettant à l'utilisateur de tenir le godet 34 au moment de son insertion à l'intérieur du logement, et également lors de son retrait du logement, lorsqu'il souhaite remplacer le godet 34 par un autre.In this inner skirt 8, there are two side tabs 7 allowing the user to hold the bucket 34 at the time of its insertion inside the housing, and also during its removal from the housing, when he wishes to replace the bucket 34 by another.

En partie arrière de la base 2, se trouvent plusieurs éléments appartenant à la première liaison pivot et à la seconde liaison pivot. Ces éléments seront détaillés plus loin dans la description.In the rear part of the base 2, there are several elements belonging to the first pivot link and the second pivot link. These elements will be detailed later in the description.

En partie arrière de la base 2, se trouve également une partie des moyens de freinage du couvercle 3 à l'ouverture et à la fermeture.In the rear part of the base 2, there is also part of the braking means of the cover 3 when opening and closing.

L'autre partie des moyens de freinage du couvercle 3 se trouve en partie arrière du couvercle 3, comme cela est illustré sur les figures 12 et 13 en particulier.The other part of the braking means of cover 3 is located in the rear part of cover 3, as illustrated on the figures 12 and 13 especially.

Plus précisément, ces moyens de freinage du couvercle 3 consistent en un premier système de came induisant une contrainte entre deux éléments lors de l'ouverture et de la fermeture du couvercle 3, et supprimant la contrainte en position ouverte et en position fermée du couvercle 3.More precisely, these braking means of the cover 3 consist of a first cam system inducing a constraint between two elements when opening and closing the cover 3, and removing the constraint in the open position and in the closed position of the cover 3 .

Le premier élément du premier système de came appartient à la base 2, et consiste en une patte 11 dirigée vers l'extérieur du réceptacle 1. Cette patte 11 s'étend orthogonalement à l'axe X.The first element of the first cam system belongs to the base 2, and consists of a tab 11 directed towards the outside of the receptacle 1. This tab 11 extends orthogonal to the axis X.

Cette patte 11 est située exactement au milieu de la partie arrière de la base 2. Le second élément du premier système de came appartient au couvercle 3 et consiste en au moins une nervure 47 s'étendant depuis une paroi périphérique du couvercle 3.This tab 11 is located exactly in the middle of the rear part of the base 2. The second element of the first cam system belongs to the cover 3 and consists of at least one rib 47 extending from a peripheral wall of the cover 3.

Plus précisément, cette nervure 47 se trouve sur un élément charnière 28 s'étendant depuis la paroi périphérique du couvercle 3.More precisely, this rib 47 is located on a hinge element 28 extending from the peripheral wall of the cover 3.

Cette nervure 47 présente un profil particulier, notamment une première zone 33 plane, suivie d'une deuxième zone 31 arrondie, suivie d'une troisième zone 32 correspondant à un dégagement.This rib 47 has a particular profile, in particular a first flat zone 33, followed by a second rounded zone 31, followed by a third zone 32 corresponding to a clearance.

La patte 11 de la base 2 présente une paroi de contact, avec un chanfrein 17 au voisinage de son extrémité libre, apte à glisser sur le profil de la nervure 47. Comme cela est visible en figure 15 et 16, lorsque le couvercle 3 est fermé, la patte 11 repose librement sur la première zone 33 plane de la nervure 47. Dans cette position, il n'y a pas d'effort exercé entre la patte 11 et la nervure 47. Il n'y a pas de contrainte.The tab 11 of the base 2 has a contact wall, with a chamfer 17 in the vicinity of its free end, capable of sliding on the profile of the rib 47. As can be seen in Figure 15 And 16 , when the cover 3 is closed, the tab 11 rests freely on the first flat zone 33 of the rib 47. In this position, there is no force exerted between the tab 11 and the rib 47. There is no constraint.

Lorsque l'utilisateur commence à soulever le couvercle 3, la patte 11 commence à glisser le long de la deuxième zone 31 arrondie de la nervure 47. Ce glissement se fait avec un frottement suffisant pour créer une contrainte entre la base 2 et le couvercle 3, de manière à ce que l'ouverture du couvercle 3 se fasse avec une certaine retenue, c'est-à-dire avec un freinage dans le mouvement d'ouverture et dans le mouvement de fermeture du couvercle 3. Ainsi, dès que l'utilisateur stoppe son effort d'ouverture ou de fermeture, le couvercle 3 reste dans la position en l'état, et n'a pas tendance à retomber vers sa position fermée ou sa position ouverte.When the user begins to lift the cover 3, the tab 11 begins to slide along the second rounded zone 31 of the rib 47. This sliding is done with sufficient friction to create a constraint between the base 2 and the cover 3 , so that the opening of the cover 3 takes place with a certain restraint, that is to say with braking in the opening movement and in the closing movement of the cover 3. Thus, as soon as the The user stops his opening or closing effort, the cover 3 remains in the position as it is, and has no tendency to fall back towards its closed position or its open position.

Ainsi, l'utilisateur peut choisir l'inclinaison qu'il souhaite pour le couvercle 3, et ce dernier est en position grâce à la contrainte existante entre la patte 11 et le profil arrondi de la nervure 47.Thus, the user can choose the inclination he wishes for the cover 3, and the latter is in position thanks to the constraint existing between the tab 11 and the rounded profile of the rib 47.

Lorsque l'utilisateur ouvre totalement le couvercle 3, c'est-à-dire lorsqu'il le pivote à 180°, comme cela est illustré en figure 17, alors la patte 11 se retrouve dans la troisième zone 32 de la nervure 47, en l'espèce dans le dégagement. Dans cette position, il n'y a pas d'effort exercé entre la patte 11 et la nervure 47. Il n'y a plus de contrainte.When the user completely opens the cover 3, that is to say when he pivots it 180°, as illustrated in Figure 17 , then the tab 11 is found in the third zone 32 of the rib 47, in this case in the clearance. In this position, there is no force exerted between the tab 11 and the rib 47. There is no longer any constraint.

Selon la configuration présentée, l'élément charnière 28 du couvercle 3 présente deux nervures 47 le long desquelles frottent deux surfaces de contact prévues sur une même patte 11 de la base 2.According to the configuration presented, the hinge element 28 of the cover 3 has two ribs 47 along which two contact surfaces provided on the same tab 11 of the base 2 rub.

Ces moyens de freinage du couvercle 3 à l'ouverture et à la fermeture sont très pratiques pour que l'utilisateur puisse incliner le couvercle à sa convenance, sans qu'il retombe, d'autant plus que la première liaison pivot est réalisée entre deux pièces plastiques et qu'elle induit donc un pivotement plus fluide et aisé qu'entre une pièce plastique et une pièce métallique (par exemple une goupille métallique), de par les différences de coefficients de frottement.These means of braking the cover 3 when opening and closing are very practical so that the user can tilt the cover as desired, without it falling, especially since the first pivot connection is made between two plastic parts and that it therefore induces a more fluid and easier pivoting than between a plastic part and a metal part (for example a metal pin), due to the differences in friction coefficients.

Un principe similaire est utilisé pour le freinage de la plateforme 4 lors de sa manipulation.A similar principle is used for braking platform 4 during its handling.

En effet, le réceptacle 1 comporte des moyens de freinage de la plateforme 4 à l'ouverture et à la fermeture, localisés en partie arrière du réceptacle 1.Indeed, the receptacle 1 includes means for braking the platform 4 when opening and closing, located in the rear part of the receptacle 1.

Ces moyens de freinage de la plateforme 4 sont indépendants des moyens de freinage du couvercle 3. En effet, ils n'ont pas d'éléments communs, et ils ne sont pas mis en oeuvre simultanément.These braking means of the platform 4 are independent of the braking means of the cover 3. In fact, they have no common elements, and they are not implemented simultaneously.

Ces moyens de freinage de la plateforme 4 consistent en un second système de came induisant une contrainte entre deux éléments lors de l'ouverture et de la fermeture de la plateforme 4, et supprimant la contrainte en position ouverte et en position fermée de la plateforme 4.These braking means of the platform 4 consist of a second cam system inducing a constraint between two elements during the opening and closing of the platform 4, and removing the constraint in the open position and in the closed position of the platform 4 .

Le premier élément du second système de came appartient à la base 2 et le second élément appartient à la plateforme 4, les deux éléments étant en interférence lors de l'ouverture et de la fermeture de la plateforme 4, les deux éléments n'étant plus en interférence en position ouverte et en position fermée de la plateforme 4.The first element of the second cam system belongs to the base 2 and the second element belongs to the platform 4, the two elements being in interference during the opening and closing of the platform 4, the two elements no longer being in interference in the open position and in the closed position of the platform 4.

Le premier élément du second système de came consiste en au moins une oreille 12 s'étendant depuis la base 2, comme cela est bien illustré en figure 7. Cette oreille 12 présente un profil particulier, notamment une première zone avec un creux 16, suivie d'une deuxième zone arrondie 35, suivie d'une troisième zone 36 correspondant à un dégagement plane.The first element of the second cam system consists of at least one ear 12 extending from the base 2, as is well illustrated in Figure 7 . This ear 12 has a particular profile, in particular a first zone with a hollow 16, followed by a second rounded zone 35, followed by a third zone 36 corresponding to a flat clearance.

Le second élément du second système de came consiste en au moins une protubérance de calage 27 s'étendant depuis la plateforme 4 en direction de la base 2.The second element of the second cam system consists of at least one wedging protuberance 27 extending from the platform 4 towards the base 2.

Plus précisément, comme cela est bien visible sur les figures 9 et 11, la plateforme 4 comporte, en partie arrière, un rebord externe 48 duquel saille ladite protubérance de calage 27.More precisely, as is clearly visible on the figures 9 And 11 , the platform 4 comprises, in the rear part, an external rim 48 from which said wedging protuberance 27 projects.

La protubérance de calage 27 est apte à glisser sur le profil de l'oreille 12. Comme cela est visible en figure 18, lorsque la plateforme 4 est fermée, la protubérance de calage 27 repose librement sur la première zone, et plus précisément dans le creux 16 prévu à cet effet. Dans cette position, la plateforme 4 est calée parfaitement par rapport à la base 2. Il n'y a donc pas de risque qu'elle soit légèrement décalée vers l'avant ou vers l'arrière, elle est parfaitement centrée sur la base 2. Le creux 16 et la protubérance de calage 27 ont des formes correspondantes afin qu'il n'y ait pas de jeu et que le calage soit optimal. Dans cette position, il n'y a pas d'effort exercé entre la protubérance de calage 27 et le creux 16. Il n'y a pas de contrainte.The wedging protuberance 27 is able to slide on the profile of the ear 12. As is visible in Figure 18 , when the platform 4 is closed, the wedging protuberance 27 rests freely on the first zone, and more precisely in the hollow 16 provided for this purpose. In this position, platform 4 is positioned perfectly in relation to base 2. There is therefore no risk of it being slightly shifted forward or backward, it is perfectly centered on base 2 The hollow 16 and the wedging protuberance 27 have corresponding shapes so that there is no play and that the wedging is optimal. In this position, there is no force exerted between the wedging protuberance 27 and the hollow 16. There is no constraint.

Lorsque l'utilisateur commence à soulever la plateforme 4, la protubérance de calage 27 commence à glisser le long de la deuxième zone arrondie 35 de l'oreille 12, comme cela est illustré en figure 19. Ce glissement se fait avec un frottement suffisant à créer une contrainte entre la base 2 et la plateforme 4, de manière à ce que l'ouverture de la plateforme 4 se fasse avec une certaine retenue, c'est-à-dire un freinage dans le mouvement d'ouverture et dans le mouvement de fermeture de la plateforme 4. Ainsi, dès que l'utilisateur stoppe son effort d'ouverture ou de fermeture, la plateforme 4 reste dans la position en l'état, et n'a pas tendance à retomber vers sa position fermée ou sa position ouverte.When the user begins to lift the platform 4, the wedging protuberance 27 begins to slide along the second rounded zone 35 of the ear 12, as is illustrated in Figure 19 . This sliding is done with sufficient friction to create a constraint between the base 2 and the platform 4, so that the opening of the platform 4 takes place with a certain restraint, that is to say braking in the opening movement and in the closing movement of the platform 4. Thus, as soon as the user stops his opening or closing effort, the platform 4 remains in the position as it is, and has no tendency to fall back towards its closed position or its open position.

Ainsi, l'utilisateur peut choisir l'inclinaison qu'il souhaite pour la plateforme 4, et cette dernière est en position grâce à la contrainte existante entre la protubérance de calage 27 et le profil arrondi 35 de l'oreille 12.Thus, the user can choose the inclination he wishes for the platform 4, and the latter is in position thanks to the constraint existing between the wedging protuberance 27 and the rounded profile 35 of the ear 12.

Lorsque l'utilisateur ouvre totalement la plateforme 4, c'est-à-dire lorsqu'il la pivote à 90°, comme cela est illustré en figure 20, alors la protubérance de calage 27 se retrouve dans la troisième zone 36 de l'oreille 12, en l'espèce dans le dégagement. Dans cette position, il n'y a pas d'effort exercé entre la protubérance de calage 27 et l'oreille 12. Il n'y a plus de contrainte. On voit bien qu'il existe un décalage entre le rebord 48 de la plateforme 4, et la troisième zone 36 de l'oreille 12, ce décalage correspondant au moins à l'épaisseur de la protubérance de calage 27. Ainsi, il n'y a plus d'appui de la protubérance de calage 27 contre l'oreille 12.When the user completely opens the platform 4, that is to say when he pivots it 90°, as illustrated in Figure 20 , then the wedging protuberance 27 is found in the third zone 36 of the ear 12, in this case in the clearance. In this position, there is no force exerted between the wedging protuberance 27 and the ear 12. There is no longer any constraint. We can clearly see that there is an offset between the rim 48 of the platform 4, and the third zone 36 of the ear 12, this offset corresponding at least to the thickness of the wedging protuberance 27. Thus, it does not there is more support for the wedging protuberance 27 against the ear 12.

Selon la configuration présentée, la base 2 présente deux oreilles 12 parallèles disposées de part et d'autre de la patte 11 en partie arrière, et la plateforme 4 présente deux protubérances de calage 27 venant coopérer avec ces deux oreilles 12.According to the configuration presented, the base 2 has two parallel ears 12 arranged on either side of the tab 11 in the rear part, and the platform 4 has two wedging protuberances 27 which cooperate with these two ears 12.

Ces moyens de freinage de la plateforme à l'ouverture et à la fermeture sont très pratiques pour que l'utilisateur puisse incliner la plateforme à sa convenance, sans qu'elle retombe, d'autant plus que la seconde liaison pivot est réalisée entre deux pièces plastiques et qu'elle induit donc un pivotement plus fluide et aisé qu'entre une pièce plastique et une pièce métallique (par exemple une goupille métallique), de par les différences de coefficients de frottement.These means of braking the platform when opening and closing are very practical so that the user can tilt the platform as desired, without it falling, especially since the second pivot connection is made between two plastic parts and that it therefore induces a more fluid and easier pivoting than between a plastic part and a metal part (for example a metal pin), due to the differences in friction coefficients.

La présente invention est notamment axée sur un réceptacle 1 qui puisse être entièrement recyclable. Pour cela, il faut que toutes les pièces qui composent le réceptacle 1 soient conçus dans un même matériau, afin que le consommateur puisse jeter le réceptacle 1 dans une unique poubelle, et qu'il ne soit pas obligé de démonter les pièces pour les trier et les mettre dans différentes poubelles de recyclage.The present invention is particularly focused on a receptacle 1 which can be entirely recyclable. To do this, all the parts that make up the receptacle 1 must be made of the same material, so that the consumer can throw the receptacle 1 into a single trash can, and does not have to dismantle the parts to sort them. and put them in different recycling bins.

À des fins de recyclabilité, on comprend que le godet 34 est amovible, et qu'il faut le retirer avant de jeter le réceptacle 1.For recyclability purposes, it is understood that the cup 34 is removable, and that it must be removed before throwing away the receptacle 1.

Ainsi, la base 2, le couvercle 3 et la plateforme 4 sont tous conçus dans un même matériau plastique.Thus, the base 2, the cover 3 and the platform 4 are all designed in the same plastic material.

La matière plastique peut être choisie parmi le polypropylène (PP), le polypropylène recyclé (R-PP), le polyéthylène téréphtalate (PET), le polyéthylène téréphtalate recyclé (R- PET), un élastomère thermoplastique (TPE), le polyéthylène (PE), tel que le polyéthylène basse densité (LDPE) et/ou le polyéthylène haute densité (HDPE), un matériau composite, un matériau recyclé post-consommation (PCR et/ou un matériau analogue).The plastic material can be chosen from polypropylene (PP), recycled polypropylene (R-PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), recycled polyethylene terephthalate (R-PET), a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), polyethylene (PE ), such as low density polyethylene (LDPE) and/or high density polyethylene (HDPE), a composite material, a post-consumer recycled material (PCR and/or a similar material).

De préférence, il s'agit de polypropylène et/ou de polyéthylène téréphtalate recyclé ou non.Preferably, it is polypropylene and/or polyethylene terephthalate, recycled or not.

Ainsi, de façon avantageuse, toutes les pièces, à savoir la base, la plateforme et le couvercle sont en matière plastique choisie parmi le polypropylène et/ou le polyéthylène téréphtalate.Thus, advantageously, all the parts, namely the base, the platform and the cover are made of plastic material chosen from polypropylene and/or polyethylene terephthalate.

Par ailleurs, l'utilisation de matières plastiques, en particulier de matières plastiques similaires pour l'ensemble du réceptacle permet de faciliter le recyclage. En particulier, le polypropylène (PP) et le polyéthylène téréphtalate (PET) sont deux matières plastiques dont le cycle de recyclage est bien connu. Le réceptacle peut être réalisé en impression 3D.Furthermore, the use of plastic materials, in particular similar plastic materials for the entire receptacle, makes recycling easier. In particular, polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are two plastics whose recycling cycle is well known. The receptacle can be made using 3D printing.

La base 2, le couvercle 3 et la plateforme 4 peuvent être obtenus par moulage, au moyen d'une injection plastique.The base 2, the cover 3 and the platform 4 can be obtained by molding, using plastic injection.

Alternativement, la base, le couvercle et la plateforme peuvent être réalisés en impression 3D. Un tel procédé d'impression permet notamment de réaliser très librement ces pièces présentant des motifs et des formes particulières.Alternatively, the base, lid and platform can be made in 3D printing. Such a printing process makes it possible in particular to very freely produce these parts having particular patterns and shapes.

En l'espèce, puisqu'il n'y a plus de goupilles métalliques dans le réceptacle selon l'invention, l'impression 3D est d'autant plus aisée.In this case, since there are no longer any metal pins in the receptacle according to the invention, 3D printing is all the easier.

Dans le réceptacle 1 selon l'invention, il n'existe pas de goupilles métalliques,. Les liaisons pivot sont directement créées dans la base 2 le couvercle 3 et la plateforme 4, sans ajout d'aucune autre pièce supplémentaire. Cela permet de faciliter le recyclage du réceptacle (1).In the receptacle 1 according to the invention, there are no metal pins. The pivot connections are directly created in the base 2, the cover 3 and the platform 4, without adding any other additional part. This makes it easier to recycle the receptacle (1).

Nous allons maintenant décrire les deux liaisons pivot présentes sur le réceptacle 1 selon l'invention.We will now describe the two pivot connections present on the receptacle 1 according to the invention.

Ces deux liaisons pivot sont du type charnière.These two pivot connections are of the hinge type.

La première liaison pivot permet de relier le couvercle 3 à la base 2. L'élément charnière 28 du couvercle 3 comporte deux côtés latéraux, chaque côté latéral présentant un orifice 30 central.The first pivot connection makes it possible to connect the cover 3 to the base 2. The hinge element 28 of the cover 3 has two lateral sides, each lateral side having a central orifice 30.

Les deux oreilles 12 de la base 2 présentent chacune un ergot 13, les deux ergots 13 se faisant face.The two ears 12 of the base 2 each have a lug 13, the two lugs 13 facing each other.

Ainsi, lorsque l'élément charnière 28 du couvercle 3 est inséré entre les deux oreilles 12 de la base 2 lors du montage du couvercle 3 dans la base 2, les ergots 13 de la base 2 pénètrent à l'intérieur des orifices 30 du couvercle 3, provoquant l'encliquetage du couvercle 3 dans la base 2. Lors de cette insertion, les deux oreilles 12 se déforment légèrement vers l'extérieur pour laisser l'élément charnière 28 se caler entre les deux ergots 13, et ce jusqu'à ce que les ergots 13 pénètrent dans les orifices 30.Thus, when the hinge element 28 of the cover 3 is inserted between the two ears 12 of the base 2 during the assembly of the cover 3 in the base 2, the lugs 13 of the base 2 penetrate inside the orifices 30 of the cover 3, causing the cover 3 to snap into place in the base 2. During this insertion, the two lugs 12 deform slightly outwards to allow the hinge element 28 to wedge itself between the two lugs 13, up to what the lugs 13 penetrate into the orifices 30.

Cet encliquetage est notamment visible sur la figure 14.This locking is particularly visible on the Figure 14 .

Ainsi, il n'existe pas de goupilles métalliques dans cette première charnière. La seconde liaison pivot permet de relier la plateforme 4 à la base 2.So, there are no metal pins in this first hinge. The second pivot connection makes it possible to connect the platform 4 to the base 2.

Comme illustré en figure 7, la base 2 présente deux parois d'accroche 15 disposées de part et d'autre des deux oreilles 12, et à distance des deux oreilles 12. En effet, un petit espace est prévu entre ces parois d'accroche 15 et les oreilles 12. Ces parois d'accroche 15 constituent une terminaison de la paroi périphérique 37 de la base 2.As illustrated in Figure 7 , the base 2 has two attachment walls 15 arranged on either side of the two ears 12, and at a distance from the two ears 12. In fact, a small space is provided between these attachment walls 15 and the ears 12 These attachment walls 15 constitute a termination of the peripheral wall 37 of the base 2.

Ces parois d'accroche 15 sont orientées perpendiculairement à la paroi périphérique 37. Chaque paroi d'accroche 15 présente un ergot 14 dirigé vers l'oreille 12 adjacente.These attachment walls 15 are oriented perpendicular to the peripheral wall 37. Each attachment wall 15 has a lug 14 directed towards the adjacent ear 12.

Comme illustré en figure 11, la plateforme 4 comporte deux éléments charnière 21, ressemblant également à des oreilles. Chaque élément charnière 21 de la plateforme 4 est apte à venir s'insérer dans l'espace libre situé entre une paroi d'accroche 15 et l'oreille 12 adjacente de la base 2.As illustrated in Figure 11 , the platform 4 has two hinge elements 21, also resembling ears. Each hinge element 21 of the platform 4 is able to be inserted into the free space located between a hanging wall 15 and the adjacent ear 12 of the base 2.

Chaque élément charnière 21 présente un orifice 22 sur un côté latéral en vis-à-vis de la paroi d'accroche 15 correspondante.Each hinge element 21 has an orifice 22 on a lateral side facing the corresponding hanging wall 15.

Ainsi, lorsque les deux éléments charnière 21 de la plateforme 4 sont insérés entre les oreilles 12 et les parois d'accroche 15 de la base 2 lors du montage de la plateforme 4 dans la base 2, les ergots 14 de la paroi d'accroche 15 de la base 2 pénètrent à l'intérieur des orifices 22 des éléments charnière 21 de la plateforme 4, provoquant l'encliquetage de la plateforme 4 dans la base 2.Thus, when the two hinge elements 21 of the platform 4 are inserted between the ears 12 and the attachment walls 15 of the base 2 during the assembly of the platform 4 in the base 2, the lugs 14 of the attachment wall 15 of the base 2 penetrate inside the orifices 22 of the hinge elements 21 of the platform 4, causing the platform 4 to snap into place in the base 2.

La plateforme 4 est montée sur la base 2 après le montage du couvercle 3. Ainsi, lors du montage de la plateforme 4, les oreilles 12 ne peuvent plus se déformer vers l'intérieur, car l'élément charnière 28 de la base 2 bloque. L'insertion de la plateforme 4 dans la base 2 doit donc être réalisée en force.The platform 4 is mounted on the base 2 after mounting the cover 3. Thus, when mounting the platform 4, the ears 12 can no longer deform inwards, because the hinge element 28 of the base 2 blocks . The insertion of platform 4 into base 2 must therefore be carried out forcefully.

Il y a une indépendance entre la première charnière et la seconde charnière.There is independence between the first hinge and the second hinge.

En effet, la première charnière est constituée des oreilles 12 de la base 2 et de l'élément charnière 28 du couvercle 3, tandis que la seconde charnière est constituée des éléments charnière 21 de la plateforme 4 et des parois d'accroche 15 de la base 2.Indeed, the first hinge consists of the ears 12 of the base 2 and the hinge element 28 of the cover 3, while the second hinge consists of the hinge elements 21 of the platform 4 and the hanging walls 15 of the basis 2.

Il n'y a pas de lien entre les parois d'accroche 15 et les oreilles 12 de la base 2. D'ailleurs, les parois en vis-à-vis entre l'oreille 12 et l'élément charnière 21 sont planes, et ne sont pas connectées.There is no connection between the attachment walls 15 and the ears 12 of the base 2. Moreover, the walls facing each other between the ear 12 and the hinge element 21 are flat, and are not connected.

Ainsi, le pivotement du couvercle 3 n'induit aucune contrainte sur le pivotement de la plateforme 4, et inversement. Cela permet d'obtenir deux liaisons pivot avec une qualité optimale, tout en se passant de goupilles métalliques.Thus, the pivoting of the cover 3 does not induce any constraint on the pivoting of the platform 4, and vice versa. This makes it possible to obtain two pivot connections with optimal quality, while eliminating the need for metal pins.

Le montage de la plateforme 4 dans la base 2 permet de verrouiller les deux liaisons pivot du réceptacle 1, car elles empêchent dès lors toute déformation des oreilles 12 puisque l'espace entre les oreilles 12 et les parois d'accroche 15 est désormais occupé par les éléments charnière 21 de la plateforme 4.Mounting the platform 4 in the base 2 makes it possible to lock the two pivot connections of the receptacle 1, because they therefore prevent any deformation of the ears 12 since the space between the ears 12 and the hanging walls 15 is now occupied by the hinge elements 21 of platform 4.

Le démontage du couvercle 3 de la plateforme 4 n'est dès lors plus possible, sans risque de casse des composants. Ce verrouillage est important dans la mesure où il n'y a plus de goupilles métalliques pour assurer cette fonction.Dismantling cover 3 from platform 4 is therefore no longer possible, without risk of component breakage. This locking is important in that there are no longer any metal pins to perform this function.

Le réceptacle 1 selon l'invention comporte un système de positionnement du godet 34 pour limiter tout mouvement relatif du godet 34 par rapport à la base 2. Ces moyens permettent de compenser les éventuelles variations dimensionnelles du godet, et d'assurer un positionnement optimal du godet au sein de la base, afin que le serrage soit ensuite effectué uniformément sur tout le pourtour du godet, et afin d'assurer l'intégrité du godet et du produit contenu dedans.The receptacle 1 according to the invention comprises a system for positioning the bucket 34 to limit any relative movement of the bucket 34 relative to the base 2. These means make it possible to compensate for possible dimensional variations of the bucket, and to ensure optimal positioning of the bucket within the base, so that the tightening is then carried out uniformly around the entire perimeter of the bucket, and in order to ensure the integrity of the bucket and the product contained therein.

Ce système de positionnement est porté par la base 2 et la plateforme 4, et coopère avec un système d'accroche prévue entre la plateforme 4 et la base 2 en partie avant du réceptacle 1.This positioning system is carried by the base 2 and the platform 4, and cooperates with a hooking system provided between the platform 4 and the base 2 in the front part of the receptacle 1.

Cette coopération permet d'éviter que la plateforme ne soit décalée et mal verrouillée sur la base. Cela permet d'assurer la fermeture fiable de la plateforme, et d'empêcher toute ouverture intempestive lors de la manipulation et le transport du réceptacle. Cela permet également d'éviter une pression trop forte à la fermeture de la plateforme. Les différents systèmes sont liés, et fonctionnent en synergie pour remplir l'objectif.This cooperation prevents the platform from being shifted and poorly locked to the base. This ensures the reliable closing of the platform, and prevents any accidental opening during handling and transport of the receptacle. This also helps avoid too much pressure when closing the platform. The different systems are linked, and work synergistically to achieve the objective.

Ledit système de positionnement consiste en :

  • une pluralité de pions 6 saillant depuis le fond 5 de la base 2 et sur lesquels repose le godet 34. Ces pions 6 sont rigides et non flexibles. Ces pions 6 permettre d'assurer le positionnement et le calage en hauteur du godet 34 dans la base 2.
  • une portée inclinée 25 de la plateforme 4 venant en appui contre un rebord supérieur du godet 34 pour le centrer. Cette portée inclinée 25 s'évase radialement vers l'extérieur. Cela est particulièrement visible sur les vues en coupe des figures 21 et 22. On voit bien que la portée présente une face inférieure inclinée 38 (de par la forme tronconique) qui vient en contact avec rebord supérieur du godet 34. Cette face inférieure inclinée 38 forme une rampe le long de laquelle le contact peut s'établir avec le godet 34, en fonction des dimensions du godet 34. Puisque cette rampe s'étend sur tout le pourtour du godet 34, elle provoque directement le centrage du godet 34 à l'intérieur du logement de la base 2. Cette portée peut être tronconique, ou sphérique, ou s'apparenter à un chanfrein.
Said positioning system consists of:
  • a plurality of pins 6 projecting from the bottom 5 of the base 2 and on which the bucket 34 rests. These pins 6 are rigid and not flexible. These pins 6 ensure the positioning and wedging in height of the bucket 34 in the base 2.
  • an inclined surface 25 of the platform 4 bearing against an upper edge of the bucket 34 to center it. This inclined surface 25 flares radially outwards. This is particularly visible in the sectional views of the figures 21 and 22 . We can clearly see that the bearing surface has an inclined lower face 38 (due to the frustoconical shape) which comes into contact with the upper edge of the bucket 34. This inclined lower face 38 forms a ramp along which contact can be established with the bucket 34, depending on the dimensions of the bucket 34. Since this ramp extends over the entire circumference of the bucket 34, it directly causes the centering of the bucket 34 inside the housing of the base 2. This scope can be frustoconical, or spherical, or resemble a chamfer.

Le godet 34 est ainsi calé entre les pions 6 rigides et cette portée inclinée 25, de manière centrée, limitant dès lors toute rotation du godet 34 au sein de la base 2 lors de la manipulation du réceptacle 1 et lors du prélèvement de produit cosmétique. En particulier, les pions 6 rigides agissent comme des moyens de blocage en rotation du godet 34.The bucket 34 is thus wedged between the rigid pins 6 and this inclined surface 25, in a centered manner, therefore limiting any rotation of the bucket 34 within the base 2 during the handling of the receptacle 1 and when removing the cosmetic product. In particular, the rigid pins 6 act as means for blocking the rotation of the bucket 34.

De plus, ces pions 6 permettent de pouvoir rendre fonctionnel le blocage du godet 34 même si de la poudre cosmétique viendrait sous le godet 34, ce qui ne serait pas le cas si le godet reposait directement sur le fond du réceptacle, car il pourrait glisser sur la poudre.In addition, these pins 6 make it possible to make the blocking of the bucket 34 functional even if cosmetic powder comes under the bucket 34, which would not be the case if the bucket rested directly on the bottom of the receptacle, because it could slip. on the powder.

Afin de compenser les variations dimensionnelles du godet 34, une fois que ce dernier est centré, il est nécessaire d'apporter une flexibilité entre la base 2 et la plateforme 4. Ainsi, une géométrie flexible est prévue pour absorber les variations dimensionnelles du godet 34.In order to compensate for the dimensional variations of the bucket 34, once the latter is centered, it is necessary to provide flexibility between the base 2 and the platform 4. Thus, a flexible geometry is provided to absorb the dimensional variations of the bucket 34 .

Cette géométrie flexible est permise grâce à un système d'accroche consistant en une coopération par encliquetage entre des pattes flexibles 24 prévues sur la plateforme 4 et des fenêtres 9 prévues sur la base 2.This flexible geometry is made possible thanks to an attachment system consisting of cooperation by snap-fastening between flexible tabs 24 provided on the platform 4 and windows 9 provided on the base 2.

En l'espèce, comme illustré en figure 21, la jupe 8 interne de la base 2, qui est dimensionnée pour entourer et contenir latéralement le godet 34, présente des fenêtres 9 dans lesquelles s'insèrent des pattes flexibles 24 prévues à cet effet sur la plateforme 4.In this case, as illustrated in Figure 21 , the internal skirt 8 of the base 2, which is dimensioned to surround and laterally contain the bucket 34, has windows 9 into which flexible tabs 24 provided for this purpose are inserted on the platform 4.

Une fois les pattes 24 insérées dans les fenêtres 9, la plateforme 4 reste flexible par rapport à la base 2. En effet, les pattes 24 présentent une paroi inclinée 49 le long de laquelle peut s'effectuer le contact avec la tranche supérieure 50 d'un cadre 19 de la fenêtre 9, comme cela est illustré en figure 23, où la coupe est effectuée au niveau d'un ensemble fenêtre 9 / patte 24. Ainsi la plateforme 4 peut descendre plus ou moins à l'intérieur de la base 2, et cela en fonction de la hauteur du godet 34 à serrer et à centrer.Once the tabs 24 are inserted into the windows 9, the platform 4 remains flexible relative to the base 2. In fact, the tabs 24 have an inclined wall 49 along which contact with the upper edge 50 can be made. 'a frame 19 of window 9, as illustrated in Figure 23 , where the cut is carried out at the level of a window 9 / tab 24 assembly. Thus the platform 4 can descend more or less inside the base 2, and this depending on the height of the bucket 34 to be tightened and center.

Cette flexibilité permet d'éviter de serrer trop fort le godet 34, et permet donc d'éviter de craqueler la poudre qu'il contient.This flexibility makes it possible to avoid squeezing the cup 34 too tightly, and therefore makes it possible to avoid cracking the powder it contains.

Pour assurer un serrage optimal du godet 34, notamment en cas de variation de la hauteur le long de la paroi périphérique du godet 34, sont prévus des ergots de serrage 23 saillant depuis la portée inclinée 25 en direction du godet 34. Un tel ergot 23 est visible en figure 23 par exemple. Ces ergots 23 sont de très petites dimensions et permettent de rattraper des petites variations dimensionnelles afin d'assurer un serrage optimal. Les ergots de serrage 23 viennent en appui contre le rebord supérieur du godet 34, et la plateforme 4 peut se déformer légèrement. Comme cela est visible en figure 9, il y a deux ergots de serrage 23 disposés de part et d'autre de la partie avant du réceptacle 1, et un ergot de serrage 23 disposé en partie arrière du réceptacle 1.To ensure optimal tightening of the bucket 34, particularly in the event of variation in height along the peripheral wall of the bucket 34, clamping lugs 23 are provided projecting from the inclined surface 25 towards the bucket 34. Such a lug 23 is visible in Figure 23 For example. These lugs 23 are very small and make it possible to compensate for small dimensional variations in order to ensure optimal tightening. The clamping lugs 23 come to bear against the upper edge of the bucket 34, and the platform 4 may deform slightly. As is visible in Figure 9 , there are two clamping lugs 23 arranged on either side of the front part of the receptacle 1, and a clamping lug 23 placed in the rear part of the receptacle 1.

Le système de positionnement et le système d'accroche coopèrent de façon optimale également grâce au calage de la plateforme 4 en position de fermeture dans la base 2, via la protubérance de calage 27 qui se loge dans le creux 16, comme expliqué précédemment.The positioning system and the hanging system also cooperate optimally thanks to the wedging of the platform 4 in the closed position in the base 2, via the wedging protuberance 27 which is housed in the hollow 16, as explained previously.

Un système de fermeture est prévu entre le couvercle 3 et la base 2 en partie avant du réceptacle 1.A closing system is provided between the cover 3 and the base 2 in the front part of the receptacle 1.

Ce système de fermeture consiste en des crochets. Par exemple, au moins une protubérance 18 prévue à l'avant de la base 2 est apte à venir s'encliqueter dans au moins une rainure 39 prévue à cet effet à l'avant du couvercle 3. L'inverse pourrait être envisagé, à savoir une protubérance dans le couvercle, et une rainure dans la base.This closure system consists of hooks. For example, at least one protuberance 18 provided at the front of the base 2 is capable of snapping into place in at least one groove 39 provided for this purpose at the front of the cover 3. The opposite could be envisaged, namely a protuberance in the lid, and a groove in the base.

La figure 23 montre cet encliquetage entre la protubérance 18 et la rainure 39. On aperçoit que la protubérance 18 présente une paroi inclinée en contact glissant avec une autre paroi inclinée de la rainure 39 après encliquetage. Ce contact glissant permet de conserver un jeu, ou une flexibilité, dans la fermeture du couvercle 3.There Figure 23 shows this snap-fit between the protuberance 18 and the groove 39. We see that the protuberance 18 has an inclined wall in sliding contact with another inclined wall of the groove 39 after snap-fit. This sliding contact makes it possible to maintain play, or flexibility, in the closing of the cover 3.

L'enfoncement du couvercle 3 dans la base 2 est indépendant du serrage du godet 34 par la plateforme 4.The insertion of the cover 3 into the base 2 is independent of the tightening of the bucket 34 by the platform 4.

Dans la configuration présentée, il existe deux protubérances 18 prévues à l'avant de la base 2, comme illustré en figure 8, et aptes à venir s'encliqueter dans deux rainures 39 prévues à cet effet dans un élément de fermeture 29 à l'avant du couvercle 3, comme cela est illustré en figure 12.In the configuration presented, there are two protrusions 18 provided at the front of the base 2, as illustrated in figure 8 , and capable of snapping into place in two grooves 39 provided for this purpose in a closing element 29 at the front of the cover 3, as is illustrated in Figure 12 .

Le réceptacle 1 présente un ensemble fenêtre 9/patte flexible 24 en vis-à-vis de chaque ensemble protubérance 18/rainure 39.The receptacle 1 has a window 9/flexible tab 24 assembly facing each protuberance 18/groove 39 assembly.

Afin de pouvoir correctement soulever le couvercle 3, la base 2 présente, en partie avant, un renfoncement 20 dans lequel vient se loger l'élément de fermeture 29 du couvercle 3, tout en laissant la partie basse du renfoncement 20 libre. L'utilisateur peut introduire son doigt dans la partie basse du renfoncement 20 pour pouvoir aisément soulever le couvercle 3 en tirant sur l'élément de fermeture 29.In order to be able to correctly lift the cover 3, the base 2 has, in the front part, a recess 20 in which the closing element 29 of the cover 3 is housed, while leaving the lower part of the recess 20 free. The user can insert his finger into the lower part of the recess 20 to be able to easily lift the cover 3 by pulling on the closing element 29.

Afin de pouvoir correctement soulever la plateforme 4, la base 2 présente, en partie avant, un onglet avant 10 arrondi vers le fond 5 du réceptacle 1, au-dessus duquel vient se positionner un autre onglet 26 arrondi vers le haut du réceptacle 1, prévu en partie avant de la plateforme 4. Ces deux onglets 10, 26 permettent de créer un espace à l'intérieur duquel l'utilisateur peut y insérer son doigt pour pouvoir aisément soulever la plateforme 4 en tirant sur l'onglet 26 de la plateforme 4.In order to be able to correctly lift the platform 4, the base 2 has, in the front part, a front tab 10 rounded towards the bottom 5 of the receptacle 1, above which another tab 26 rounded towards the top of the receptacle 1 is positioned, provided in the front part of the platform 4. These two tabs 10, 26 make it possible to create a space inside which the user can insert his finger to be able to easily lift the platform 4 by pulling on the tab 26 of the platform 4.

Dans la configuration montrée ici, en figure 8, on voit que l'onglet avant 10 de la base 2 est situé entre les deux protubérances 18 du système d'accroche.In the configuration shown here, in figure 8 , we see that the front tab 10 of the base 2 is located between the two protuberances 18 of the hanging system.

Dans le réceptacle 1 présenté aux figures 1 à 23, le couvercle 3 consiste simplement en un disque supérieur assorti d'une paroi périphérique.In receptacle 1 presented to figures 1 to 23 , the cover 3 simply consists of an upper disk accompanied by a peripheral wall.

Il est également envisageable d'utiliser une variante de couvercle 3 telle qu'illustrée aux figures 24 à 27.It is also possible to use a variant of cover 3 as illustrated in figures 24 to 27 .

Dans cette variante de couvercle 3, le couvercle 3 est plus épais puisqu'il intègre un miroir 41.In this variant of cover 3, cover 3 is thicker since it incorporates a mirror 41.

Le couvercle 3 comporte un corps périphérique 40 ainsi qu'une plaquette 42 supérieure amovible verrouillée au corps périphérique 40 par un système du type baïonnette. Le miroir 41 est intercalé entre un rebord interne 46 du corps périphérique 40 et la plaquette 42.The cover 3 comprises a peripheral body 40 as well as a removable upper plate 42 locked to the peripheral body 40 by a bayonet type system. The mirror 41 is inserted between an internal rim 46 of the peripheral body 40 and the plate 42.

Encore plus précisément, le miroir 41 est maintenu entre le rebord interne 46 du corps périphérique 40 et des pattes 45 flexibles internes prévues sur la plaquette 42.Even more precisely, the mirror 41 is held between the internal rim 46 of the peripheral body 40 and internal flexible tabs 45 provided on the plate 42.

Ces pattes 45 flexibles internes sont illustrées notamment en figure 27, et sont au nombre de trois, répartis de façon égale sur le pourtour de la plaquette 42. Pour le système du type baïonnette, le corps périphérique 40 comporte plusieurs lamelles 44 aptes à pénétrer à l'intérieur de rainures 43 prévues à cet effet dans le pourtour de la plaquette 42. De préférence, il y a trois ensembles lamelle 44 / rainures 43.These internal flexible tabs 45 are illustrated in particular in Figure 27 , and are three in number, distributed equally around the periphery of the plate 42. For the bayonet type system, the peripheral body 40 comprises several strips 44 capable of penetrating inside grooves 43 provided for this purpose in the periphery of the plate 42. Preferably, there are three lamella 44 / grooves 43 assemblies.

Pour assurer le verrouillage entre la plaquette 42 et le corps périphérique 40, un système classique de point dur est mis en place, afin que la lamelle 44 soit verrouillée en position dans la rainure 43 une fois que le point dur est passé, suite à un mouvement de rotation de la plaquette 42 par rapport au corps 40.To ensure locking between the plate 42 and the peripheral body 40, a conventional hard point system is put in place, so that the strip 44 is locked in position in the groove 43 once the hard point has passed, following a rotational movement of the plate 42 relative to the body 40.

D'autres systèmes de verrouillage de la plaquette 42 sur le corps périphérique 40 peuvent être envisagés dans le cadre de la présente invention.Other systems for locking the plate 42 on the peripheral body 40 can be considered in the context of the present invention.

Les configurations montrées aux figures citées ne sont que des exemples possibles, nullement limitatifs, de l'invention qui englobe au contraire les variantes de formes et de conceptions à la portée de l'homme de l'art.The configurations shown in the figures cited are only possible examples, in no way limiting, of the invention which on the contrary encompasses variants of shapes and designs within the reach of those skilled in the art.
