OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a device that has been specially designed to allow testing of different cosmetic products, specifically products applied by brush, brush or the like.

The object of the invention is to provide a device that allows the testing of certain cosmetic products by a wide variety of potential clients without any risk of contagion between them.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Currently in the cosmetics market, each brand makes available to customers at the points of sale, testers of cosmetic products, in order to convince potential customers for purchase based on a free trial of the product.

Thus, the testers allow the tester clients the makeup to choose the one that best suits them.

In the case of mascara, gloss and similar, the situation is the same.

Consequently, each brand has in its display / stand all the products offered by the brand, products that are made available to the consumer who manipulates and tests them.

Obviously this practice is a real problem of hygiene and risk of contamination.

More specifically, this type of practice can lead to infection.

ocular, herpes as well as a multitude of bacteria and diseases that can be transmitted through the applicator device.

This supposes the direct rejection by certain clients, with the consequent loss of sales, or that it is applied on the hand result that nothing has to do with the final appearance that the product would have applied on the lips and eyes, maintaining the problematic from the point of view of hygiene

The present invention responds to a demand of the clients and allows to solve their hygiene concerns in a simple and effective way giving confidence and tranquility.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The device for the test of cosmetic products that is recommended solves in a fully satisfactory way the problem described above, based on a simple but effective solution.

To do this, and more specifically, the device of the invention is constituted from a formal and dimensionally suitable housing to receive one or more bottles of cosmetic products, which are arranged without their corresponding lid on a tray lower and movable through a handle, so that in a situation of retraction of the tray, the openings of the open jars are faced with a piece of foam, silicone or similar as a closing element that prevents its contents from drying out, ensuring The tightness of the product.

The housing may be transparent or have a side window to observe the different bottles contained within it as well as their selective positioning.

In this regard, it is provided that said housing includes a hole that is intended to be selectively faced with the bottle to be tested, based on the specific displacement of the tray carrying the bottles with respect to the main body of the housing

In addition to said hole, some guides are established through which a

kind of carriage carrying a plurality of applicators.

More specifically, the brushes or applicators, which are vertically movable in the carriage through slots, will be extracted laterally from said carriage, through a transverse groove, with a stop that prevents its total vertical extraction, a maneuver that is once the bristles of such an applicator are impregnated and taken to their upper limit position, by horizontal displacement of said applicator along the slot in which it plays, so that its wall or perimeter stop pushes on the corresponding gate side, which will close automatically once the applicator is removed, thus preventing the introduction of said brush once used.

From this structuring, pulling the tray of the tray will select the bottle of product to be tested, which will face the upper hole of the housing, hole facing the applicator of said brush carrier car, so that, said applicator may be displaced in the lower direction so that it is introduced into the bottle and impregnated with the product to be tested, so that once said applicator has been displaced in the upper direction until it reaches the upper limit position that allows its stopper to move horizontally until it is removed through the corresponding side door, being therefore the single-use applicator maintaining the hygiene pursued by the invention.

To avoid accidental application of the applicator, it will be assisted by an elastic clamp or similar element that allows its vertical displacement only when a certain pressure is exceeded.

Thus, if you want to try the same product or other content in the device again, you will have to move the carriage carrying the brushes until the next brush is facing the access hole inside the housing, repeating the maneuvers described above which ensure the impossibility of reusing a brush or applicator each time it is removed from its carrier car.

Optionally, the applicators or applicators are stably arranged by means of gates that tend at all times to close, by effect of the corresponding springs, pressing on the main body of the brush, although said pressure does not prevent

that said brush can move vertically, both superiorly and internally

Obviously the cars carrying applicators may be replaced by others when they are empty by counting the guides with locking systems with lock or similar that ensure that such maneuver can only be carried out by the person in charge of that purpose

These applicators will be loaded inside the car, a maneuver that can only be carried out by the person responsible for the device when they are assisted by locks or similar elements that prevent its manipulation.

Similarly, the main housing can have a disposable character, or include an access door inside with its corresponding lock to allow the replacement of the jars contained within it when they are exhausted.

From this structuring, the following advantages are achieved:

• It allows to offer a device for testing cosmetic products that adapts to any top opening container, and which are applied by means of an applicator (brush, brush, ...).

• The device remains closed being accessible only to the establishment staff

• It allows us to offer a 100% hygiene guarantee to customers, as we cannot reuse the brushes or applicators that participate in it

• Improves the management of cosmetic product testers at points of sale and allows sellers to save time

• Optimally controls the consumption of cosmetic product testers and allows to prolong the life of the tester significantly

• Prevent theft

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the figures described above, it can be seen how the device of the invention includes a housing (1) with capacity for one or more bottles (2) of cosmetic products, which are arranged on a lower tray (3), movable on the bottom of the housing (1) by means of a handle (4).

As stated above, the housing (1) may be transparent or have a side and / or front window that allows the display of the bottle or bottles (2) and their relative position with respect to an upper hole (5). ), practiced on the upper base (6) of the housing (1).

Said upper hole (5) is destined to be selectively faced with the mouth of the flask to be tested since, as mentioned previously, the tray (3) can be moved by pulling its handle (4)

In this way, and as shown in Figure 4, pulling the handle (4) you can select one of the cosmetic products or bottles (2) to be tested, by facing its mouth to the aforementioned upper hole (5).

To this end, above said hole, guides (7) are established, through which a carriage (8) carrying a plurality of applicators (9) or brushes with a mono-use character, which is carried out by means of the corresponding one, can be moved shooter (10).

According to figure 3, the applicators (9) could be removed laterally from the carriage, so that they are movable both vertically and transversely in a transverse groove (14) in which they fit tightly, with a stop (9 ') materialized in a wall that prevents its total vertical extraction, and at the same time acts as a pressing element on a side gate (11) on which the groove (14) ends, preventing the bristles from coming into contact with said gate and therefore the paint stain, side gate (11) that will tend to its closed position due to the effect of a spring (16), not represented in the figures, so that once closed, it cannot be opened from the outside, since it does not have gripping means, and therefore will prevent access of the extracted applicator preventing it from being reused

To avoid its vertical fall, said applicators will be assisted superiorly by elastic clamps (15).

Thus, and as shown in Figure 5, once the bottle (2) has been selected and positioned on the upper hole (5), it will be enough to push the brush (9) in a lower direction so that it can be inserted into the said hole bottle (2) and is impregnated with the cosmetic product to be tested, pulling this brush in the upper direction until it reaches the upper limit position determined by the stop (9 '), as shown in Figure 4 to facilitate its horizontal extraction through the gates (11) of the car associated with such applied, which prevents its reintegration once removed.

Consequently, if it is intended to try the same product or other content in the device again, and as shown in Figure 6, it is essential to move the carriage (8) carrying the brushes (9) until the next brush (9) it faces the upper hole (5) of the housing, said carriage (8) being able to be replaced by another, when the brushes carried therein have been fully used

As shown in Figures 8 and 9. In a variant embodiment, the brushes are held by pairs of gates (11) tending to close by the effect of respective springs associated with their axes of rotation, counting on stops (12 ), which prevent their tilting inwards, thus preventing the insertion of any brush from the outside, once closed

Said gates press laterally and slightly on the body of the brush, so as to allow the vertical movement of the brush.

On the other hand, the bottles (2) contained in the tray (3) can also be replaced by means of the corresponding restricted access provided in the housing (1).

It only remains to note finally that, in order to avoid evaporation of the jars (2), it is provided that on the upper wall of the housing (1), and in correspondence with the inner face of the same, elastic parts (13) are established. , of silicone, foam or the like, as a sealing element of the mouth of said bottles (2).
