Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of refillable packaging devices for cosmetic products.
- cosmetic product is understood to mean in particular all products for making up the skin, including the lips, and all compositions intended for bodily application, including so-called care products such as moisturizing creams. It relates in particular to the field of refills for rechargeable devices for packaging cosmetic products.
- a packaging device for a cosmetic product generally designates any container used to contain a cosmetic product with a view to its conservation, transport, marketing or use. Pots, bottles, cases, etc. are thus designated, for example. used to contain a cosmetic product.
- refill is meant a removable element comprising a tank adapted to contain a cosmetic product, and which can be put in place and removed from a shell which forms the external surface of the refillable cosmetic product packaging device consisting of a shell and a recharge.
- the refill Once in place in the hull, the refill must be correctly maintained in the hull. In particular, care should be taken to prevent the refill from escaping from the shell, during its transport or its use during which the pot can take any orientation, in particular a complete reversal of the packaging device, whether this results from a voluntary action or not. In addition, the refill must not move in the shell when using the conditioning device. The refill must remain fixed during the dispensing of the product, for example when the user takes product from the refill.
- the refill must be able to be easily extracted from the shell, with a view to its replacement.
- Known rechargeable packaging devices generally comprise systems for maintaining the refill in the shell which are visible and unsightly, and/or which require industrially complex or costly adaptations.
- the document JP2013119399 thus discloses a pot of cosmetic product comprising a refill, the tank of which is of generally cylindrical shape of revolution and comprises reliefs which slide, by correspondence of shape, in vertical grooves provided in the shell of the pot to prevent the tank from rotating.
- the document EP0661012 also discloses a refill pot device, comprising an inner tank or receptacle which engages by form correspondence in an outer receptacle forming a shell, the inner receptacle being able in particular to comprise a peripheral bead which cooperates with a groove formed inside from the neck of the outer container.
- WO2019058087 also discloses a refill pot device of close configuration, comprising an inner tub or receptacle which form-fits into an outer receptacle forming a shell, the shell having a peripheral bead which cooperates with a groove formed on the outer surface of tank.
- the upper part of the shell has a neck comprising slots into which radial beads of the tank are inserted to allow the latter to be held in rotation.
- the refill packaging devices known in the state of the art are based on a correspondence of shape between the shell and the refill, which allows for example by clipping (that is to say snap-fastening or other relative mechanical engagement ) maintaining the refill in the hull.
- This requires a particular conformation of the shell and of the refill, which prevents for example being able to use a shell of conventional shape, such as a standard glass container, to form a refillable packaging device, and, similarly, prevents use a refill in the form of a tank of conventional shape, for example a glass or stainless steel tank of conventional shape.
- the invention aims to solve all or part of the aforementioned problems.
- the invention relates to a shell for a refillable device for packaging a cosmetic product which is adapted to receive a refill adapted to contain the cosmetic product.
- the shell has an opening forming a neck, this opening being adapted to receive the refill in order to place it in a receiving volume defined by an interior wall of the shell.
- the shell further comprises a ring connected to the neck, said ring extending over at least a portion of the inner wall of the shell forming said neck.
- the ring has an inner surface at which is linked an element of elastomeric material which is at least partly in relief vis-à-vis said inner surface of the ring.
- the shell thus formed is capable of maintaining a refill of suitable shape, thanks to the element made of elastomeric material.
- the support obtained, nevertheless allowing the extraction of the refill, uses the elastic properties and the coefficient of friction of the elastomeric material.
- the implementation of the recharge is thus very simple.
- the element made of elastomeric material being carried on an attached ring and connected to the shell, the invention can be implemented on shells of very varied constitutions and shapes.
- the element made of elastomeric material can be molded onto the ring.
- the ring can be formed from a plastic material.
- the ring and the element of elastomeric material that it presents can be formed together by bi-material injection.
- the ring can thus be produced by known and controlled industrial processes, which provide good cohesion between the ring and the element made of elastomeric material that it carries.
- the elastomeric material used can be an elastomeric thermoplastic or an elastomeric silicone. It may have a hardness of between 20 degrees shore and 80 degrees shore, and preferably between 40 degrees shore and 60 degrees shore. The elastomeric material used and its hardness allow it to deform under reasonable effort, compatible with application at a cosmetic product refill.
- the element made of elastomeric material can form discrete studs distributed over the surface of the inner wall of the shell.
- the element made of elastomeric material can form at least two studs and preferably at least three studs distributed over a periphery of the surface of the inner surface of the ring in its part situated on the surface of the inner wall of the neck of the shell.
- the element made of elastomeric material can extend along one or more strips parallel to the opening of the shell.
- the reception volume can be of generally cylindrical shape of revolution, or frustoconical, or straight prismatic.
- the shell may consist mainly of plastic material, glass, stainless steel, aluminum, or wood.
- the shell can be formed from one of the aforementioned materials, with the exception of the ring and the element made of elastomeric material.
- the shell has an aesthetic aspect which can be essential in the field of cosmetic products.
- the ring can be linked to the neck of the shell by clipping and/or by gluing. Any other known rigid and reliable connection mode can be used.
- this bonding be done between the ring and the external wall of the shell, and/or between the ring and the internal wall of the shell, and/or on the periphery of the neck of the hull.
- the invention also relates to a packaging device for a cosmetic product comprising a shell as defined above, a refill in which the refill comprises a side wall having a clearance vis-à-vis the inner wall of the shell, except at the level of all or part of the element made of elastomeric material, so that support zones for the element made of elastomeric material are formed on said side wall of the refill.
- the means allowing this maintenance can be invisible (if the shell is opaque) or at the very least very discreet, so that they do not harm the aesthetics of the pot that is made up.
- the element made of elastomeric material can be deformed in said bearing zones by compression on the side wall of the refill, compared to a configuration that the element made of elastomeric material adopts in the absence of external stresses.
- the deformation of the element made of elastomeric material on the support zones increases the force which it exerts on the inner surface of the shell, and thus increases the friction which opposes the extraction of the refill.
- the side wall of the refill is devoid of asperities such as grooves, orifices, pins or snap rings, at least in a zone of interaction of said side wall with the element made of elastomeric material .
- the side wall of the refill is devoid of roughness below an element of the tank intended to come into vertical support on the shell (edge, peripheral bead, etc.).
- the maintenance of the refill does not does not require forming on it any particular shape intended to cooperate with means for holding the shell.
- the refill tank of which is filled with a cosmetic product the shell and the refill can be configured so that a force necessary for extracting the refill is greater or equal to twice, and preferably greater than or equal to two and a half times the weight of the refill.
- the shape, the dimensions and the constitution of the element made of elastomeric material are configured so as to obtain the force necessary for the extraction of the desired refill.
- This holding force allows relatively easy removal of the refill for its replacement. It corresponds to a desirable specification for pots of conventional cosmetic products.
- the tank may comprise a lid connected by snap-fastening or screwing to the rest of said tank. This allows nomadic use of the tank alone, without the shell, to transport the cosmetic product it contains.
- the packaging device can in particular be a jar, for example a jar of cream.
- FIG. 1 represents, in a three-dimensional view, a first example of a refill 1 adapted to be used in a refillable cosmetic product packaging device in accordance with one embodiment of the invention.
- the refill 1 comprises a tank 2 which is hollow, that is to say the shape of which provides a volume suitable for receiving a cosmetic product.
- the tank 2 has a generally cylindrical shape, which can be straight or slightly flared (truncated cone). Any hollow shape can nevertheless be envisaged to form the vessel, in particular any straight prismatic shape, in particular having a square, rectangular, pentagonal, hexagonal, octagonal, etc. base.
- the tank 2 has in particular a side wall 3 and a bottom 4.
- the tank comprises, in the example shown, an upper edge 5. Edge 5 is formed around an open face 6 of tank 2.
- the edge 5 can be projecting, that is to say it forms a rim at the periphery of the open face 6.
- a rim can allow the clipping of a stopper on the tank 2.
- Such a rim can also form a support zone for the tank when it is inserted into a corresponding shell.
- the tank 2 has a thread 15 allowing the adaptation of a screw cap on the tank. The tank 2 can thus be used on its own, independently of the shell described below in section figure 2 , in order to transport the cosmetic product it contains.
- a cosmetic product for example a cream
- the open face 6 of the tank can be covered with a removable cap, for example a product protection pad, bearing for example on the rim 5 and/or on a shoulder formed in the upper part of the tank.
- the tank can also include a lid, for example heat-sealed, covering the open face 6 and having to be removed during the first use of the refill.
- the open face can be free, directly exposing the product contained in tank 2 of the refill, or be provided with a regulating device such as a sieve, a net, or other device suitable for the product to be dispensed.
- the refill thus has a simple form.
- the refill and in particular its side wall 3 and more particularly the outer surface 7 of this side wall 3, is devoid of asperities or other latching means.
- asperity we mean a volume, relief or hollow, formed on a surface and of dimensions much greater than any roughness linked to the material constituting the said surface.
- the side wall surface 3 in particular has no groove, no orifice, no pin or no snap ring.
- the side wall 3 nevertheless comprises a peripheral bead 16 providing a bearing surface.
- the side wall 3 is thus devoid of any snap-fastening means vis-à-vis a shell adapted to receive the tank 2, as detailed below.
- the refill can thus be easily produced, or can consist of a standard container, for example a plastic, glass, or stainless steel pot.
- the manufacturing cost of the tank (and ultimately of the packaging device) can thus be reduced, compared to packaging devices in which the tank must include specific fixing elements in a shell.
- FIG. 2 represents an example of a shell 8 that can be used to form a packaging device for a cosmetic product (in this case a jar) with a refill 1, for example the refill of the figure 1 .
- the shell designates an element adapted to receive a refill and in which the refill will be maintained.
- the hull of the figure 2 thus forms a receiving volume adapted to receive the refill 1 through an opening 9. More particularly, an inner wall 14 of the shell 2 defines the receiving volume of the tank 2 of the refill 1.
- the shell 8 comprises a main body 10
- the main body 10 is of substantially prismatic shape with a square base, the side faces of which have a slight convexity.
- the shell 8 constituting a visible part of the pot once the latter is formed, it has an important aesthetic function.
- the main body 10 of the shell 8 is surmounted by a neck 11 provided with a thread 12 allowing the installation of a screw cover (not shown in figure 2 ).
- a shoulder 13 is formed close to the mouth of the neck 11.
- the shoulder 13 is dimensioned so as to be able to receive in support an element of the tank 2 of the refill 1, namely the peripheral bead 16 in the example of embodiment shown.
- the shoulder 13 is optional, the refill being able to bear vertically, in other embodiments, on other surfaces of the shell, for example an edge of the tank 2 of the refill 1 can bear directly on the neck 11, or for example, in the absence of a rim on the tank 2 of the refill, the bottom 4 of the tank can rest on a bottom of the shell, if the latter has a bottom.
- a shell 8 without bottom can be advantageous to facilitate the extraction of the refill. More particularly, the shell 8 comprises according to the present invention a ring 17 which is connected to the neck 11. The ring 17 covers the neck 11 in the example shown, and is connected to it by clipping. Other binding modes, such as gluing, can be used as an alternative or in addition to clipping.
- the ring 17 here comprises the shoulder 13 allowing the vertical support of the tank 2 of the refill 1.
- the ring 17 comprises an inner surface 18 to which is bonded an element of elastomeric material 19.
- the element made of elastomeric material 19 is intimately linked to the ring 17.
- the element made of elastomeric material 19 can be molded over the ring 17.
- An overmolding of the element 19 of elastomeric material on the ring 17 is possible in particular on a ring 17 made of plastic material, in particular of hard plastic material such as polypropylene.
- ring 17 and elastomeric material element 19 can be formed by bi-material injection.
- the elastomeric materials that can be used to form the element made of elastomeric material include all elastomeric thermoplastics (TPE) as well as elastomeric silicones.
- TPE elastomeric thermoplastics
- the materials that can be used advantageously have a shore hardness of between 19 degrees shore and 80 degrees shore (preferably between 40 and 60 degrees shore).
- the hardness of the material used is an important optimization parameter, and is chosen in particular according to the dimensions of the refill tank and according to the material used to form the ring 17 and its configuration.
- the elastomeric material element 19 is in relief vis-à-vis the inner surface 18 of the ring 17.
- the element of elastomeric material 19 forms a peripheral band on the inner surface 18 of the ring.
- This strip has three pads 20, distributed along the periphery of the inner surface 18 carrying said strip.
- These studs 20 form the parts of the element made of elastomeric material 19 having a function of maintaining the refill 1 in the receiving volume, as detailed below.
- the number, dimensions, shape, and orientation of the pads 20 may vary depending on the application considered. More generally, the configurations that can be envisaged for the element made of elastomeric material are numerous.
- the studs 20 have a vertical arrangement, that is to say they form a relief having an elongated shape from the top (opening of the neck 11 of the shell 8) downwards. (bottom of the shell 8 if said shell has a bottom).
- the studs 20 are oriented perpendicular to a plane materialized by the opening 9 of the shell provided for the introduction of the refill 1.
- the studs 20 can thus be designated as gadroons, in this embodiment.
- the number of studs formed by the element made of elastomeric material can be adapted easily, with few modifications in the production tools.
- the rest of the element made of elastomeric material 19 can be in relief or flush with the inner surface 18 of ring 17.
- the distribution of the three studs 20 is preferably regular, that is to say that the studs are equidistant along the strip formed by the element of elastomeric material 19. They are thus formed with an angle of 120° between them. , if the ring 17 is circular. More generally, when the ring 17 has a shape of revolution, this results in a regular angular distribution of the studs 20 in the ring.
- the element of elastomeric material 19 extends continuously in the form of a strip, on a periphery of the inner surface 18 of the ring 17, according to another variant of this embodiment , the elastomeric material element 19 can be formed of several studs 20 without them being linked together by a strip of elastomeric material.
- the hull of the figure 2 can be formed mainly (for example with the exception of the ring 17 and the element of elastomeric material 19) in various materials.
- the shell can be formed from glass. Any shade of glass can be used, in particular transparent, translucent, opaque, colored or not.
- the shell can be made of many other materials, depending on the desired look, volume, shape, desired closure method, etc.
- the shell can be made of plastic material, wood, metal (such as stainless steel, tinplate, or aluminum).
- FIG. 3 represents, according to a cross-sectional view, a packaging device, namely a pot, formed from the shell of the figure 2 and charging the figure 1 .
- the conditioning device shown in figure 3 is further equipped with a cover 21 adapted to cooperate with the thread 12.
- the cutting plane is a diametral plane of the hull 8, as represented on the figure 2 .
- the pot shown in picture 3 thus comprises a shell 8, in the form of a thick-walled container, which forms a reception volume in which the refill 1 is received.
- the shape of the interior volume of the shell 8 thus corresponds, within a clearance, to the exterior shape of the tank 2 (for example cylindrical or slightly frustoconical).
- the depth of this volume is slightly greater than the overall height of the refill 1, so that the peripheral bead 16 of the refill rests on the shoulder 13 formed by the ring 17 at the mouth of the neck 11.
- FIG 4 represents a detail view of the interaction between the shell 8 and the refill 1 in the pot of the picture 3 , according to the same cutting plane as that of the picture 3 .
- FIG 4 reveals in particular the clipping of the ring 17 on the neck 11 of the tank 2.
- the neck 11 can thus have a shape suitable for clipping, for example thanks to a groove 22 formed in the upper part of the neck 11.
- the figure 4 also shows the support formed between the peripheral bead 16 and the shoulder 13 of the ring 17.
- the ring 17 extends along the upper part of the inner wall 14 of the tank. When a refill 1 is in position in the shell 8, in the example shown, it only interacts with the shell with the ring 17.
- a clearance J1 for example of the order of 1 to 3 mm for a jar of cosmetic cream of conventional volume, for example of the order of 60 mL, exists between the inner wall 14 of shell 8 and outer surface 7 of side wall 3 of tank 2.
- each stud 20 forms a projection with a thickness greater than the clearance J, when the stud is not subjected to an external mechanical stress, in particular when the pad 20 is not deformed by compression.
- the thickness of the pad can be of the order of 1 mm, for example of the order of 0.9 mm.
- each stud 20 When the refill 1 is in the shell 8, each stud 20 is compressed and therefore has a thickness equal to the clearance J.
- the stud 20 thus fills the clearance J and, due to its elasticity, exerts a bearing force on the side wall 3 of tank 2 of refill 1.
- FIG. 5 An example of the distribution of the studs is visible at figure 5 .
- figure 5 represents the ring 17 of the embodiment of the figures 2 to 4 , bottom view, that is to say with in the foreground the face of the joint facing the bottom of the hull when the ring 17 is connected to the hull.
- the three studs 20 distributed regularly, at 120° angles between them, allow uniform support and perfect centering of the tank 2 when it is in place in the shell 8, in interaction with the ring 17.
- Each support zone, formed at the level of each stud 20, forms a zone ensuring that the tank 2 (and therefore the refill 1) is held in the shell 8.
- a force tending to extract the refill 1 from the shell 8 is exerted, a force opposing its extraction is created, by reaction, at the studs, due to the interaction between each stud 20 and the side wall 3 of the refill 1 on which the studs 20 are compressed. This force is generated by friction of stud 20 on the outer wall of tank 2.
- the tank 2 As long as the tank 2 is stationary in the shell 8, it is a so-called dry friction force, the intensity of which is, for each stud 20, at most equal to the coefficient of friction static between the studs 20 multiplied by the force exerted between the inner wall 14 of the shell 8 and the stud 20 due to its compression.
- the force tending to extract the tank from the shell 8 exceeds the sum of the maximum static friction forces exerted at the level of the studs 20, the refill 1 begins to move vis-à-vis the shell 8 for its extraction.
- the material which constitutes it, the total bearing surface (sum of the bearing surfaces) between said element made of elastomeric material and the outer surface 7 of the side wall 3 of the tank, and the sum of the forces exerted due to the compression of said element made of elastomeric material are determining parameters when determining the configuration of the element made of elastomeric material.
- the force required to extract the refill be at least twice greater than the weight of the full refill, for example of the order two and a half times the weight of the full refill.
- the studs 20 have, in the example shown, a rounded shape in the so-called vertical direction which also corresponds to the direction of introduction (and extraction) of the refill, which allows a progressive compression of the pads during the insertion of the refill 1 in the shell 8.
- the pads 20 could alternatively have a beveled or chamfered shape to obtain the same effect.
- the present invention is obviously not limited to the embodiment detailed above.
- the respective configuration of the element made of elastomeric material, of the refill and/or of the shell can be very different from the configurations described above.
- the presence of studs on the element made of elastomeric material is optional, provided that at least part of said element made of elastomeric material is in relief relative to the inner surface of the ring.
- Very varied shapes of elements made of elastomeric material can be envisaged.
- the tank can have various shapes and constructions, depending on the application considered.
- the shell can have various shapes and constitutions.
- the tank may be cubic, cylindrical, cubic or parallelepiped, spherical, and may or may not have a bottom, or be provided with an orifice in its bottom to facilitate the extraction of a refill.
- the invention thus developed allows the removable retention of a cosmetic product refill in a shell in order to form an aesthetic and refillable cosmetic product packaging device by exchanging the refill.
- Holding is obtained by friction of the element made of elastomeric material on an external surface of a wall of the refill.
- the holding means in particular the element made of elastomeric material, can be totally invisible once the pot is made, and can be barely visible in the shell.
- the refill can have a shape that is simple to produce, because the outer surface of the tank of the refill which is intended to interact with the element of elastomeric material of the shell for holding the refill does not require the formation of no special mechanical clipping device.
- a pre-existing vessel e.g. a conventional glassware vessel, a single tank made of plastic, metal, etc. can thus be used without adaptation as a tank for the refill of the cosmetic product packaging device.
