DISPOSITIVO E METODO PER PERSONALIZZARE UN PRODOTTO DEVICE AND METHOD TO CUSTOMIZE A PRODUCT

COSMETICO IN BASE ALLE ESIGENZE DEL CONSUMATORE COSMETIC BASED ON CONSUMER NEEDS

TESTO DELLA DESCRIZIONE TEXT OF THE DESCRIPTION

La presente invenzione è relativa ad un dispositivo ed un metodo di realizzazione di un The present invention relates to a device and a method for manufacturing a

cosmetico, personalizzato in base alle esigenze specifiche del cliente, a partire dalla cosmetic, customized according to the specific needs of the customer, starting from

combinazione di ingredienti funzionali o di basi cosmetiche predefinite. combination of functional ingredients or predefined cosmetic bases.

Il cosmetico oggi è il frutto di una tecnica industriale che ne può garantire proprietà, Cosmetics today are the result of an industrial technique that can guarantee properties,

purezza, razionalità di formulazione, efficacia e sicurezza ma, non può tenere conto delle purity, rationality of formulation, efficacy and safety but, can not take into account the

esigenze specifiche di ogni singola persona. specific needs of each individual person.

Per ottimizzare il ciclo di vendita, i produttori sono tenuti a realizzare cosmetici a partire To optimize the sales cycle, manufacturers are required to make cosmetics starting

da formulazioni che si adattino alla maggioranza dei consumatori. Infatti, i cosmetici from formulations that are suitable for the majority of consumers. Indeed, cosmetics

disponibili sul mercato, rispondono alle esigenze più comuni e si adattano alle più available on the market, they meet the most common needs and adapt to the most

comuni tipologie di pelle. common types of skin.

Tuttavia, consumatori appartenenti a fototipi diversi, con pelli secche, grasse o normali, However, consumers belonging to different skin types, with dry, oily or normal skin,

così come consumatori di età differenti e differenti stili di vita potrebbero aver bisogno as well as consumers of different ages and different lifestyles may need

di cosmetici diversi, formulati specificamente per la loro particolare condizione. of different cosmetics, formulated specifically for their particular condition.

Sebbene siano numerose le soluzioni di personalizzazione offerte da vari produttori cosmetici, queste presentano ancora alcuni inconvenienti che non ne consentono un adeguato sfruttamento. Infatti, molte di queste soluzioni, sono basate sulla possibilità di ricevere ordini direttamente dai clienti, per produrre e consegnare a domicilio prodotti cosmetici personalizzati o selezionati nell’ ambito di una classe di prodotti disponibili e che meglio si addicono alla specifica esigenza. Tuttavia, ci sono una serie di svantaggi connessi a questa tipologia di prodotti: Although there are numerous customization solutions offered by various cosmetic manufacturers, these still have some drawbacks that do not allow them to be adequately exploited. In fact, many of these solutions are based on the possibility of receiving orders directly from customers, to produce and deliver personalized or selected cosmetic products at home within a class of products available and which are best suited to the specific need. However, there are a number of disadvantages associated with this type of product:

In primo luogo, se è pur vero che la possibilità di comunicare direttamente al produttore la tipologia di cosmetico desiderata rappresenti un indubbio vantaggio, non è detto che questa soluzione sia facile ed immediata. Infatti, spesso una esperienza approssimativa in campo dermatologico e cosmetico, non consente al “consumatore comune” di avere le conoscenze adatte per valutare e descrivere in maniera compiuta al produttore la propria specifica condizione, o anche solo a descrivere cosa si vuole ottenere da un prodotto. Di conseguenza, il produttore difficilmente riuscirà ad ottenere le informazioni utili al fine di realizzare un prodotto personalizzato che soddisfi le reali esigenze del cliente. In the first place, if it is true that the possibility of communicating the desired type of cosmetic directly to the manufacturer represents an undoubted advantage, it is not certain that this solution is easy and immediate. In fact, often an approximate experience in the dermatological and cosmetic field does not allow the "common consumer" to have the appropriate knowledge to fully evaluate and describe their specific condition to the manufacturer, or even just to describe what they want to obtain from a product. . Consequently, the manufacturer will hardly be able to obtain the useful information in order to create a customized product that meets the real needs of the customer.

Inoltre, il cliente potrebbe richiedere un cosmetico con specifiche particolarità e ingredienti che potrebbero risultare tra loro incompatibili e mitigare di conseguenza la reciproca efficacia. Furthermore, the customer could request a cosmetic with specific characteristics and ingredients that could be incompatible with each other and consequently mitigate the mutual effectiveness.

Altre soluzioni migliorative, prevedono il prelievo di campioni biologici del cliente, per valutare attraverso esami di laboratorio le carenze di specifici nutrienti della pelle e di conseguenza i cosmetici più opportuni per reintegrarli. Sebbene quest’ultima soluzione rappresenti un miglioramento rispetto ai metodi precedentemente descritti, i costi relativi alle analisi di laboratorio, la mancanza di immediatezza, ed i tempi di attesa per la refertazione e successiva produzione e/o selezione di cosmetici adeguati non ne consentono un’ampia diffusione in ambito cosmetico. Other improvement solutions involve taking biological samples from the customer, to evaluate the deficiencies of specific skin nutrients through laboratory tests and consequently the most appropriate cosmetics to reintegrate them. Although this last solution represents an improvement compared to the methods previously described, the costs related to laboratory analyzes, the lack of immediacy, and the waiting times for the reporting and subsequent production and / or selection of suitable cosmetics do not allow them to be wide diffusion in the cosmetic field.

Scopo della presente invenzione è quello di realizzare un sistema per la produzione di un cosmetico personalizzato che consenta di superare almeno in parte gli inconvenienti sopra descritti. The object of the present invention is to provide a system for the production of a customized cosmetic which allows to overcome at least in part the drawbacks described above.

Secondo la presente invenzione viene realizzato un dispositivo per la produzione di un cosmetico personalizzato, come definito nella rivendicazione 1. According to the present invention, a device for the production of a personalized cosmetic is realized, as defined in claim 1.

In figura 1 , è illustrato mediante un diagramma a blocchi il principio di funzionamento del dispositivo ed il metodo applicato. L’operatore (1) riceve informazioni dal cliente (2), servendosi anche eventualmente di dispositivi di misura idonei a valutare i parametri fisici di interesse (3). Queste informazioni sono successivamente processate dal sistema esperto (4) per la determinazione della composizione del cosmetico ed inviate al modulo di formulazione (5). Il sistema dispone di un numero N contenitori di basi cosmetiche e/o principi attivi (6) , opportunamente codificate in base alla funzione. Il sistema esperto seleziona, dal suo insieme di disponibilità, le basi cosmetiche più idonee per la specifica condizione da trattare. La lista delle basi cosmetiche selezionate e le relative quantità sono visualizzate in sequenza sul display del dispositivo (7), per consentire all’operatore di immetterle nell’apposito contenitore (8) ed iniziare il processo di miscelazione ed emulsificazione attraverso il dispositivo agitatore (9). La lista e le quantità delle basi cosmetiche utilizzate, è quindi ricalcolata per essere espressa secondo la denominazione INCI. Questa e’infine inviata al modulo di stampa (10) per essere stampata su una etichetta adesiva ed applicata al contenitore del prodotto pronto all’uso (8). Figure 1 illustrates the operating principle of the device and the method applied by means of a block diagram. The operator (1) receives information from the customer (2), possibly also using suitable measuring devices to evaluate the physical parameters of interest (3). This information is subsequently processed by the expert system (4) for determining the composition of the cosmetic and sent to the formulation module (5). The system has a number N containers of cosmetic bases and / or active ingredients (6), suitably coded according to the function. The expert system selects, from its range of availability, the most suitable cosmetic bases for the specific condition to be treated. The list of selected cosmetic bases and the relative quantities are displayed in sequence on the device display (7), to allow the operator to put them in the appropriate container (8) and start the mixing and emulsification process through the stirrer device (9). ). The list and quantities of the cosmetic bases used are then recalculated to be expressed according to the INCI denomination. This is finally sent to the print form (10) to be printed on an adhesive label and applied to the container of the ready-to-use product (8).

Secondo la presente invenzione, come definito nelle rivendicazioni 1 e 2, viene inoltre realizzata la possibilità di miscelare, emulsificare ed eventualmente gelificare un cosmetico direttamente nel contenitore destinato all’utilizzo finale, evitando in questo modo operazioni di travaso del prodotto in altri contenitori, e senza le usuali procedure di pulizia o lavaggio delle parti, che si rendono normalmente necessarie per evitare contaminazioni. According to the present invention, as defined in claims 1 and 2, it is also possible to mix, emulsify and possibly gel a cosmetic directly in the container intended for the final use, thus avoiding pouring operations of the product into other containers, and without the usual procedures for cleaning or washing the parts, which are normally necessary to avoid contamination.

Per una migliore comprensione della presente invenzione vengono ora descritte due forme di realizzazione preferite, a puro titolo di esempio non limitativo e con riferimento ai disegni allegati, nei quali: la figura 2 è una vista prospettica del dispositivo secondo la presente invenzione che integra in un solo chassis il dispositivo agitatore (1) , la logica di controllo (2) ed il sistema esperto (3). For a better understanding of the present invention, two preferred embodiments are now described, purely by way of non-limiting example and with reference to the attached drawings, in which: Figure 2 is a perspective view of the device according to the present invention which integrates into a chassis only the agitator device (1), the control logic (2) and the expert system (3).

la figura 3 è una schematizzazione secondo la presente invenzione dove il dispositivo agitatore (1) è separato dalla logica di controllo (2) e dal sistema esperto (3). Figure 3 is a schematic diagram according to the present invention where the stirrer device (1) is separated from the control logic (2) and from the expert system (3).

Nella figura 2 e figura 3 sono evidenziati N contenitori di basi cosmetiche e/o miscele di principi attivi (4), come definito nelle rivendicazioni 6 e 7, codificati in base alla loro funzione e che consentano la fuoriuscita del contenuto in dosi predeterminate. Figure 2 and Figure 3 show N containers of cosmetic bases and / or mixtures of active ingredients (4), as defined in claims 6 and 7, coded according to their function and which allow the contents to flow out in predetermined doses.

In entrambe le forme di realizzazione, esemplificate in figura 2 e figura 3, il contenitore destinato all’utilizzo del cosmetico (5) è parte integrante del meccanismo di miscelazione e deve prevedere al suo interno un organo di movimento (6) che favorisce l’intima miscelazione dei principi attivi. Tale organo di movimento può essere solidale V al contenitore stesso o libero di muoversi nel contenitore senza alcun vincolo. In ogni caso, l’organo di movimento non necessita di essere rimosso prima dell’utilizzo del cosmetico. In tal modo vengono risolte gran parte delle problematiche di contaminazione crociate ed eliminate le procedure di pulizia. In both embodiments, exemplified in figure 2 and figure 3, the container intended for the use of the cosmetic (5) is an integral part of the mixing mechanism and must have inside it a movement member (6) which favors the intimate mixing of active ingredients. This movement member can be integral V to the container itself or free to move in the container without any constraint. In any case, the movement organ does not need to be removed before using the cosmetic. In this way, most of the cross-contamination problems are solved and cleaning procedures are eliminated.

In entrambe le forme di realizzazione, riportate in figura 2 e figura 3, il meccanismo di miscelazione avviene attraverso un accoppiamento magnetico, come definito nella rivendicazione 2, realizzato tra una sorgente magnetica sottoposta al piano di appoggio e un ancoretta metallica, senza vincoli, e libera di ruotare sotto l’influenza del campo magnetico. Alternativamente, come riportato a titolo di esempio nella figura 4, l’accoppiamento può essere di tipo meccanico, laddove il contenitore (1) inglobi un girante (2), di qualsiasi forma, dotata di un asse rigido di rotazione (3) ed un meccanismo di innesto (4) che permette l’accoppiamento con un asse fuoriuscente dal piano di appoggio e posto in rotazione da un motore elettrico sottoposto al piano stesso. In both embodiments, shown in figure 2 and figure 3, the mixing mechanism takes place through a magnetic coupling, as defined in claim 2, made between a magnetic source subjected to the support surface and a metal stir bar, without constraints, and free to rotate under the influence of the magnetic field. Alternatively, as shown by way of example in Figure 4, the coupling can be of the mechanical type, where the container (1) incorporates an impeller (2), of any shape, equipped with a rigid axis of rotation (3) and a coupling mechanism (4) which allows coupling with an axis protruding from the support surface and set in rotation by an electric motor subjected to the surface itself.
