Abstract

The invention relates to container bodies forming mascara bottles. According to the invention, the bottle is manufactured in two injection-moulded parts, a container (10) and a neck (11) respectively, which are locked together by force fitting and snap-fit engagement of one in the other. The invention improves the manufacture of this type of bottle.

Description

L'invention a pour objet des perfectionnements à un corps de récipient formant flacon pour mascara. The invention relates to improvements to a container body forming a bottle for mascara.

Les corps de récipient formant flacon pour mascara sont constitués actuellement de plusieurs manières. The container bodies forming a bottle for mascara are currently constituted in several ways.

Dans certains cas, le flacon est fabriqué en verre avec un col fileté sur lequel se visse le bouchon portant le bâton d'application. Cependant le verre est mal adapté à ce genre de produit et est de plus en plus abandonné au profit de fabrications en matière plastique. In some cases, the bottle is made of glass with a threaded neck onto which the cap carrying the application stick is screwed. However, glass is ill-suited to this type of product and is increasingly abandoned in favor of plastic manufacturing.

Lorsqu'on utilise des matières plastiques, les flacons, dérivés en quelque sorte de la technique de fabrication des flacons en verre, sont obtenus par la technique du soufflage. Mais cette technique comporte des limitations quant aux formes que l'on peut obtenir, ne permettant pas notamment d'avoir des angles vifs, et également quant au choix des matières et à l'esthétique du produit. Si l'on veut obtenir une esthétique convenable, il faut généralement rajouter un habillage extérieur sur le flacon. En outre, pour obtenir l'essorage de la brosse, il faut rapporter dans le col du flacon une pièce appropriée. When plastics are used, the bottles, somehow derived from the technique of manufacturing glass bottles, are obtained by the blowing technique. But this technique has limitations as to the forms that can be obtained, not allowing in particular to have sharp angles, and also as to the choice of materials and the aesthetics of the product. If you want to obtain a suitable aesthetic, it is generally necessary to add an external covering on the bottle. In addition, to obtain the wringing of the brush, it is necessary to return to the neck of the bottle a suitable piece.

L'invention a pour objet de perfectionner la fabrication de telles pièces en la simplifiant et en permettant l'obtention simultanée de produits améliorés et plus esthétiques. The object of the invention is to improve the manufacture of such parts by simplifying it and allowing the simultaneous obtaining of improved and more aesthetic products.

A cet effet, un corps de récipient formant flacon pour mascara conforme à l'invention se caractérise en ce qu'il comporte deux parties, à savoir
- une partie basse formant le conteneur de mascara, et
- une partie haute formant le col du flacon pourvu des moyens de fixation du bouchon, tels qu'un pas de vis, et comportant une section en cône rétréci pour l'essorage de la brosse d'application du mascara,
- lesdites deux parties conteneur/col étant réunies par verrouillage par engagement à force et encliquetage du col dans le conteneur.
To this end, a container body forming a bottle for mascara according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises two parts, namely
- a lower part forming the mascara container, and
- an upper part forming the neck of the bottle provided with means for fixing the stopper, such as a screw thread, and comprising a conical section narrowed for wringing out the brush for applying mascara,
- Said two container / neck parts being joined together by locking by force engagement and snapping of the neck into the container.

Cette conception nouvelle du flacon permet de réaliser les deux parties du flacon par moulage par injection, ce qui autorise d'autre part un très grand éventail de choix de matières, de formes et évite la nécessité d'avoir recours à un habillage pour améliorer l'esthétique du produit. This new design of the bottle makes it possible to produce the two parts of the bottle by injection molding, which on the other hand allows a very wide range of choices of materials and shapes and avoids the need to use a covering to improve the aesthetics of the product.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le col comporte en partie basse sur la face extérieure de sa paroi des segments souples d'étanchéité moulés de matière avec lui, venant porter contre la partie haute de la face interne de la paroi en regard du conteneur. According to another characteristic of the invention, the neck comprises in the lower part on the external face of its wall flexible sealing segments molded in one piece with it, coming to bear against the upper part of the internal face of the wall opposite the container.

D'autres objets et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront plus clairement à l'aide de la description qui va suivre faite en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels
- la figure 1 montre de façon schématique un flacon de mascara conçu selon l'art antérieur,
- les figures 2, 3 et 4 montrent quant à elles à titre non limitatif un mode de réalisation d'un flacon conçu selon l'invention, dans lesquelles figure
- la figure 2 montre, dans le plan II-II de la figure 3, le flacon vu en position montée en coupe dans la demi vue de gauche, et vu partie en élévation et coupe sans le corps, dans la partie droite,
- la figure 3 est une vue en perspective avec arrachements du flacon,
- la figure 4 est une vue en coupe faite selon les deux demi plans référencés IV-IV de la figure 3 et passant par la ligne d'axe I-I de cette même figure.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear more clearly with the aid of the description which follows, given with reference to the appended drawings in which
FIG. 1 schematically shows a bottle of mascara designed according to the prior art,
- Figures 2, 3 and 4 show for their non-limiting way an embodiment of a bottle designed according to the invention, in which figure
FIG. 2 shows, in the plane II-II of FIG. 3, the bottle seen in the cut-up position in the half view from the left, and seen part in elevation and cut without the body, in the right part,
FIG. 3 is a perspective view with cutaway of the bottle,
- Figure 4 is a sectional view taken along the two half planes referenced IV-IV of Figure 3 and passing through the line of axis II of this same figure.

En se référant tout d'abord à la figure 1, on a illustré un corps de récipient formant flacon pour mascara référencé généralement 1 avec à sa partie supérieure le pas de vis 2 sur le col 3 pour recevoir le bouchon fileté 4 qui porte en dessous de lui le bâton 5 pourvu de la brosse 6 d'application du mascara.  Referring first to Figure 1, there is illustrated a container body forming a mascara bottle generally referenced 1 with at its upper part the thread 2 on the neck 3 to receive the threaded plug 4 which carries below from him the stick 5 provided with the brush 6 for applying mascara.

Pour permettre l'essorage de la brosse 6 lorsqu'on la retire du flacon, il est prévu une pièce rapportée 7 se terminant par un cône réducteur 8. Cette pièce 7 est généralement en une matière plastique relativement souple et est maintenue simplement engagée à force dans le col du flacon. Le conteneur 1 peut être en verre ou en matière plastique de qualité appropriée obtenu par soufflage, avec les inconvénients ci-dessus indiqués. To allow wringing of the brush 6 when it is removed from the bottle, there is provided an insert 7 ending in a reducing cone 8. This part 7 is generally made of a relatively flexible plastic material and is kept simply engaged by force in the neck of the bottle. The container 1 can be made of glass or plastic of suitable quality obtained by blowing, with the above-mentioned drawbacks.

Conformément à l'invention et en se référant maintenant aux figures 2 à 4, on voit que le flacon pour mascara est constitué maintenant en deux parties, à savoir respectivement une partie basse formant le conteneur 10 de mascara et une partie haute formant le col 11. Le col 11 est pourvu des moyens de fixation du bouchon (non représenté) tel qu'un pas de vis 12 et il présente d'autre part une section en cône rétrécie 13 dirigée vers le bas pour l'essorage de la brosse d'application du mascara. In accordance with the invention and now referring to FIGS. 2 to 4, it can be seen that the mascara bottle is now made up of two parts, namely respectively a lower part forming the container 10 of mascara and an upper part forming the neck 11 The neck 11 is provided with means for fixing the plug (not shown) such as a screw thread 12 and on the other hand it has a narrowed cone section 13 directed downwards for wringing out the brush. mascara application.

Le col 11 est monté verrouillé de facon étanche dans le conteneur 10 par simple engagement et emboîtement à force dans le sens de la flèche F (figure 4) par application du col 11 dans le conteneur 10. The neck 11 is mounted tightly locked in the container 10 by simple engagement and force fitting in the direction of the arrow F (FIG. 4) by applying the neck 11 in the container 10.

Le verrouillage en position s'obtient d'une part par des dents 14 prévues dans l'exemple illustré sur la face externe de la paroi du col 11 engagée dans la partie haute du récipient 10, lesdites dents 14 se verrouillant par encliquetage dans des rainures 15 formées complémentairement sur la face interne en regard de la partie haute du conteneur 10 ; le blocage en position s'obtient d'autre part par des butées 16 prévues sur le col 11 juste dessous de la partie qui fait saillie au-dessus du conteneur 10, lesquelles butées viennent s'engager sur une butée coopérante tel qu'un redan 17 dans les angles supérieurs du conteneur 10. The locking in position is obtained on the one hand by teeth 14 provided in the example illustrated on the external face of the wall of the neck 11 engaged in the upper part of the container 10, said teeth 14 locking by snap-fastening in grooves 15 formed additionally on the internal face opposite the upper part of the container 10; the blocking in position is obtained on the other hand by stops 16 provided on the neck 11 just below the part which projects above the container 10, which stops come to engage on a cooperating stop such as a step 17 in the upper corners of the container 10.

D'autre part une étanchéité parfaite est obtenue par la prévision de segments d'étanchéité 18 moulés de matière avec le col 11 sur la face extérieure de sa paroi vers sa partie basse, ces segments d'étanchéité venant porter contre la partie haute de la face interne de la paroi en regard du conteneur, comme on le voit particulièrement aux figures 2 et 4. On the other hand, perfect sealing is obtained by providing sealing segments 18 molded in one piece with the neck 11 on the outside face of its wall towards its lower part, these sealing segments coming to bear against the upper part of the internal face of the wall opposite the container, as can be seen particularly in FIGS. 2 and 4.

De la description qui précède, il apparaît clairement que le corps de récipient formant flacon pour mascara peut être fabriqué simplement en deux pièces injectées dont l'assemblage se fait par simple encliquetage d'une pièce dans l'autre.  From the above description, it is clear that the container body forming the mascara bottle can be manufactured simply in two injected parts, the assembly of which is done by simple snap-fastening from one part to the other.
