Description

Compact, single-material cosmetic product dispenser receptacle Technical field of the invention

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.

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.

Technical background

We know the cosmetic product dispenser receptacles, which are generally made of plastic, and which include a base connected to a cover via a pivot connection of the hinge type with a metal or plastic pin. A cup filled with cosmetic product is placed in the base.

It is known to hold the bucket in the base via a pivoting platform inserted between the base and the cover, and bearing against the bucket.

The platform is connected to the base via a pivot link with pin, and has a central window through which the product is accessible.

The metal pins pose the problem of recycling the receptacle. Indeed, for recycling purposes, it is important that all the parts of the receptacle are made of the same material, so that the user does not need to disassemble it and sort the different materials before throwing them away separately.

Pivot connections with plastic pins have the disadvantage of being bulky, because to achieve the same mechanical performance as a metal pin, it is necessary to provide a larger pin section, as well as a larger hinge loop section. . Also, additional material thicknesses are provided at the level of the pivot connections, both for the cover and for the platform.

With a view to reducing the quantity of material used, and the compactness of the receptacle, the present invention proposes a refined receptacle, designed in a single material to facilitate recycling, without glue, while offering rotation of the cover and the platform relative to the base, with precise positioning and good bucket retention.

This goal is achieved thanks to a cosmetic product dispensing receptacle, having a central axis X and comprising:

- an assembly formed in one piece comprising a base and 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 without pin, the base being suitable to receive a bucket containing the product

- an intermediate platform for holding the bucket in position located between the base and the cover and being movable in rotation between a closed position capable of tightening the bucket and an open position allowing the bucket to be removed, this platform being fixed to the removable base.

This device is mainly characterized in that the assembly and the platform are made of the same plastic material and in that the platform comprises a fixed part in contact with the base, and a mobile part connected to the fixed part by a second pivot connection without pin, said movable part being in rotation relative to the fixed part and taking said opening and closing positions.

The main idea of this invention consists of doing away with pins in the pivot connections, in order to avoid excess material thickness in the connection areas between the different parts making up the receptacle.

The invention provides a pivot connection within the platform itself, and no longer between the platform and the base, in order to radially offset the pivot connections within the receptacle, and thus avoid an overload of material in the rear articulation zone of the receptacle.

In addition, in order to obtain a compact receptacle, the platform is directly fixed by fitting into the base, thanks to its fixed part snapped into the base. In fact, ratcheting is a mechanical system that allows parts to be held firmly, with a minimum of space. Such an assembly ultimately makes it possible to obtain a flat and thin receptacle compared to the receptacles of the prior art.

Detailed description of the invention

By convention, the “axial” direction corresponds to that of main extension of the receptacle, illustrated by the X axis on the , and the “radial” direction is orthogonal to the axial direction.

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.

Figures 1 and 2 show the receptacle 1 in the closed position.

This is a box particularly suitable for containing makeup products such as compacted makeup powder. This cosmetic product is contained in a cup 5 located inside the receptacle 1, and visible in .

This receptacle 1 is cylindrical with a circular section in these figures, but it could have a different external shape, for example square.

This receptacle 1 is traditionally composed of a base 2 to which a cover 3 is connected via a first pivot connection 12 along the axis Y1, without pin, visible in . The Y1 axis is perpendicular to the X axis. The base 2 and the cover 3 form an assembly consisting of a single piece.

This first pivot connection 12 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.

This cover 3 is movable between a closed position as illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, and an open position as illustrated in Figures 3 to 5, where the cosmetic product is then accessible.

The receptacle 1 also includes a platform 4 which makes it possible to hold the bucket 5 in position within the base 2, in particular when the cover 3 is open. Bucket 5 is inserted between base 2 and platform 4.

Thus, when the user opens the cover 3 and takes out the cosmetic product, the cup 5 is held by this platform 4 and does not come out of the base 2.

The platform 4 follows the interior shape of the base 2 so as to be completely integrated into it without being visible from the outside when the receptacle 1 is closed.

It is annular in shape and extends in a plane perpendicular to the X axis.

The platform 4 has a central opening 15 through which it is possible to access the cosmetic product contained in the cup 5.

In the illustrated figures, the bucket 5 is cylindrical. But it could take other forms in the context of the present invention.

Bucket 5 is made of treated steel or aluminum. Any other material can be considered in the context of the present invention.

Platform 4 is connected to base 2 by snap-fastening.

In addition, this platform 4 is pivotable between a closed position as in , where the bucket 5 is held in position in the base 2, and an open position as in , where the bucket 5 is released, allowing the user to have access to the bucket 5, particularly if he wishes to replace it.

More precisely, as illustrated in , the platform 4 comprises a fixed part 47 in contact with the base 2, and a movable part 46 rotating relative to the fixed part 47.

The fixed part 47 is snapped into the base 2, in the rear part of the receptacle 1. The fixed part 47 develops only in the rear part of the receptacle 1. In fact, the fixed part 47 contributes to the stability of the platform and must be the as small as possible to allow a maximum diameter of the mobile part 46 in proportion to the receptacle 1.

The mobile part 46 moves in rotation relative to the fixed part 47 taking said opening and closing positions of the platform 4.

The movable part 46 is connected to the fixed part 47 by a second pivot connection 48 of axis Y2 without pin. The Y2 axis is perpendicular to the X axis.

The second pivot connection 48 is also located in the rear part of the receptacle 1, like the first pivot connection 12. However, these are two different pivot connections. In fact, the second pivot connection 48 is independent of the first pivot connection 12. The axes Y1 and Y2 are parallel but offset radially with respect to the axis X.

The first pivot connection 12 and the second pivot connection 48 each correspond to a film hinge. This type of hinge has a very thin thickness, and does not require a lot of material. It therefore makes it possible to obtain a refined and compact receptacle 1, particularly in the rear part.

Preferably, the length of the film hinge of the second pivot connection is greater than at least a quarter of the diameter of the platform 4. The length of the hinge must be sufficient to allow it to be stable and functional.

Thus, the base 2 and the cover 3 form a single part, and the platform 4 constitutes a second part. These two parts form receptacle 1. Receptacle 1 is thus not only compact, but also minimalist in terms of parts.

These two parts are manufactured separately. Dimensional variations may thus appear, and it is then important to ensure precise positioning between these two parts when they are mounted one inside the other, as explained below.

The platform 4, as illustrated in Figures 9 and 10, has an annular rim 42 capable of pressing against the bucket 5, as well as a side peripheral wall 41 extending perpendicular to the rim 42. This side peripheral wall 41 is discontinuous.

The fixed part 47 of the platform 4 corresponds to the rear part of the platform 4. It includes in particular a tab 7 belonging to the side peripheral wall 41 of the platform 4. This tab 7 thus constitutes a section of the side peripheral wall 41.

This tab 7 is fitted into a cavity 20 provided for this purpose in the base 2. This cavity 20 is defined by walls 10 extending from a bottom 25 of the base 2 and oriented along the axis X.

The nesting of the fixed part 47 of the platform 4 in the cavity 20 is carried out by a translation movement along the axis X.

Preferably, latching means are provided to snap the fixed part 47 into the base 2, in order to lock it axially along the axis X.

That said, by pulling hard enough on platform 4, it is possible to remove it from base 2 by passing the hard point of the clip. Platform 4 is thus removable.

The fixed part 47 also has a first support surface 49, oriented parallel to the axis X.

This first support surface 49 comes into contact with a second support surface 29 provided in a peripheral side wall 21 of the base 2.

The two support surfaces 49, 29 are oriented perpendicular to the bottom 25 of the base 2. They make it possible to ensure “ballistic” positioning of contact between the platform 4 and the base 2.

The latching means are provided between the fixed part 47 of the platform 4 and the base 2. In this case, one of the walls 10 of the base 2 has a protuberance 11 capable of fitting inside a groove 40 provided for this purpose in the tab 7.

Thus, the platform 4 is mounted in the base 2 by snapping.

The fixed part 47 is connected to the mobile part 46 via the second pivot connection 48.

The second support surface 29 in contact with the base 2 makes it possible to stiffen the second pivot connection 48 located just upstream. We thus obtain a stiffened hinge zone, for the pivoting of the platform 4 relative to the base 2. This is important in particular because of the type of hinge used, in this case the film hinge, which has less strength than a hinge with pin.

The first pivot connection 12, the two bearing surfaces 29, 49 and the second pivot connection 48 are arranged in the same alignment, in the rear part of the receptacle 1. In other words, these three elements are aligned angularly with respect to the X axis.

As mentioned previously, the movable part 46 of the platform 4 conventionally has an annular rim 42 capable of pressing against the annular periphery 52 of the bucket 5, so as to block the bucket 5 axially, so that it avoids moving at the same time. inside receptacle 1.

This annular rim 42 delimits the central opening 15, through which the user can have access to the cosmetic product.

The bucket 5 is also retained laterally by an internal skirt 22 extending from the bottom 25 of the base 2.

The receptacle 1 according to the invention comprises first closing means between the movable part 46 of the platform 4 and the base 2, located opposite the bearing surfaces 29, 49, in the front part of the receptacle 1. These first closing means are therefore a fortiori located opposite the second pivot connection 48.

These first closure means are illustrated in particular in Figures 3 and 7. In this case, these first closure means consist of a first clasp. This is a closure by interlocking corresponding shapes.

In this case, the front part of the peripheral side wall 41 of the platform 4 has an external bead 45 capable of being housed under an internal hook 14 projecting from a tab 27 of the side peripheral wall 21 of the base 2.

We understand that the platform 4 is thus wedged inside the base 2, on the one hand at the rear via the two supporting surfaces 29, 49, and on the other hand at the front via the first means closing.

However, it is possible that the platform 4 shifts slightly when it pivots from its open position to its closed position, therefore resulting in a slightly off-center closure. This may eventually distort the film hinge.

To avoid this misalignment, and therefore this chattering at the level of the first clasp, the mobile part 46 of the platform 4 has means of wedging with the bucket 5.

These wedging means consist of a shoulder 43 oriented parallel to the axis X and bearing on the side wall 51 of the bucket 5.

The shoulder 43 extends perpendicularly from the lower surface of the annular rim 42.

Preferably, the shoulder 43 is annular.

This shoulder 43 surrounds the bucket 5, all around its perimeter.

Thus, when closing, the platform 4 not only rests on the upper part 52 of the bucket 5 via the annular rim 42, but also on the lateral part 51 of the bucket 5 via the shoulder 43.

This grip makes it possible to center the platform 4 axially in relation to the bucket 5, and therefore in relation to the axis from its closed position, it is completely centered in relation to the base 2 and closing takes place without chattering, with precision.

The wedging made between the mobile part 46 of the platform 4 and the bucket 5 when closing the platform 4 on the base 2 makes it possible to ensure a precise closing position at the level of the first diametrically opposite clasp.

To further improve the centering of the bucket 5 relative to the base 2, centering pins 23 of the bucket 5 project from the internal skirt 22 of the base 2 surrounding the bucket 5. These centering pins 23 are directed towards the bucket 5, and come into contact with the side wall 51 of the bucket 5. They make it possible to absorb any dimensional variations of the bucket 5. These centering pins 23 are distributed around the bucket 5. In the example presented, four pins 23 are distributed regularly around bucket 5.

Advantageously, the base 2 comprises raising pins 24 of the bucket 5, which project from the bottom 25 of the base 2. These pins 24 make it possible to raise the bucket 5 so that it does not rest directly on the bottom 25 of the base 2. base 2.

When using receptacle 1, makeup powder may settle at the bottom of base 2, or even dust. These pins 24 make it possible to avoid any contact and any snagging between the bucket 5 and this dust. Raising the bucket 5 also allows it to protrude beyond the internal skirt 22 so that it can be more easily held in hand when it is desired to replace it.

The receptacle 1 according to the invention comprises second closing means between the cover 3 and the base 2, located opposite the pivot connections, in the front part of the receptacle 1.

These second closure means are illustrated in particular in Figures 3, 4 and 6.

In this case, these second closure means also consist of a second clasp. This is a closure by interlocking corresponding shapes.

In this case, the front part of a peripheral side wall 32 of the cover 3 is extended by a tongue 33 provided with an internal bead 33 capable of being housed under an external hook 28 projecting from the tab 27 of the wall lateral peripheral 21 of base 2.

Advantageously, the front part of the peripheral side wall 21 of the base 2 has a recess 26 bordered by the tab 27. This recess 26 makes it possible to accommodate the tongue 33 of the cover 3, so that the second clasp is completely integrated in the volume of base 2, for better compactness of receptacle 1.

Advantageously, the first pivot connection 12 is provided with spring means to limit the opening of the cover 3 and slow down the closing of the cover 3.

In this case, these spring means consist of straps 13 extending on either side of the film hinge. They are particularly visible in Figures 2 and 6. They serve to retain the cover 3, both when opening, so that it does not fall at 180° but is retained at approximately 150°, as well as when closing so that that it does not fall to 0° but is held between 30° and 15°, like a pre-closure. These straps 13 thus act as a brake, with a recall effect of the cover 3. The user can then manually close its cover 3 by pressing on it.

Preferably, the straps 13 are in continuity with the material of the film hinge. The straps 13 and the film hinge have a substantially constant thickness. This contributes to the strength of the hinge, the simplification of molds and tools, and gives a beautiful aesthetic appearance when the straps are separated when opened.

In addition, the receptacle 1 is circular in shape so it allows a simplified spring effect taking into account the arrow of the straps.

The present invention is particularly focused on a receptacle 11 which can be entirely recyclable. For this, all the parts which make up receptacle 1 (excluding bucket 5) must be designed in the same material, so that the consumer can throw receptacle 1 into a single bin, and so that he is not obliged to disassemble the parts to sort them and put them in different sorting bins.

For recycling purposes, it is understood that bucket 5 is removable, and that it must be removed before throwing away receptacle 1.

Thus, the base 2, the cover 3 and the platform 4 are all designed in the same plastic material.

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).

Preferably, it is polypropylene and/or polyethylene terephthalate, recycled or not.

Thus, advantageously, all the parts, namely the base 2, the platform 4 and the cover 3 are made of plastic material chosen from polypropylene and/or polyethylene terephthalate.

Polypropylene is preferred because it is relatively flexible and compatible with recycling channels. And above all, it allows you to have resistant film hinges.

The base 2 and cover 3 assembly can be obtained by molding.

This may be plastic injection molding.

In this case, the assembly is molded with the cover 3 in the open position relative to the base 2. After demolding, the cover 3 is folded back onto the base 2 to position it in the closed position.

Platform 4 can also be obtained by molding.

Alternatively, the base 2, the cover 3 and the platform 4 can be made using 3D printing. Such a printing process makes it possible in particular to very freely produce these parts having particular patterns and shapes.

In this case, since there are no longer any metal pins in the receptacle 1 according to the invention, 3D printing is all the easier.

Lid 3 of receptacle 1 may be full.

In the example shown, the cover 3 of the receptacle 1 has a central opening 35 in which a window 6 is inserted.

Preferably window 6 is transparent, so that the user can observe through window 6 the cosmetic product contained in receptacle 1.

Window 6 can be translucent, or opaque as well.

In all cases, window 6 is made separately from cover 3, but in the same material as cover 3. In this case, window 6 is preferably made of polypropylene. In this way, the entire receptacle 1 remains monomaterial. In addition to the recycling advantages, a monomaterial receptacle 1 also allows industrial simplification.

Preferably, window 6 is snapped into cover 3.

Preferably, the window 6 cannot be removed from the cover 3.

Window 6 is advantageously adaptable to marking, and can be equipped with logos or other distinctive marks.

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.
