Description

device for packaging products

The present invention relates to a device for packaging a product, in particular a cosmetic or care product, for example a makeup product.

The present invention particularly relates to, but is not limited to, a device comprising a container containing a product to be applied and a flexible porous membrane through which the product contained in the container can exit for dispensing.

Numerous devices of this type are known to have a variety of shapes and arrangements.

For example, WO 2017/155301, FR 3 027 200, JP H09 289918 relates to a device having a container of a product provided with a porous membrane, through which the product can be picked up.

A distinction should be made between the two categories of containers of products that are provided with a porous membrane capable of picking up the product.

In a first category, the porous membrane is driven, ie, can descend within the container during dispensing of the product as the amount of product decreases within the container.

A first category, KR 10-1477583, includes an outer container having an open top and provided with a receiving space inside; an inner container accommodated in the receiving space and having an open upper portion to accommodate liquid or creamy cosmetics inside; a mesh portion mounted on the top of the cosmetics accommodated in the inner container; a ring-shaped guide member mounted along the periphery of the mesh portion; a container cover covering the open upper part of the outer container; And there is disclosed a portable cosmetic made of the cosmetics accommodated in the inner container. A first container protrusion and a second container protrusion protruding in a ring shape along the periphery are formed on the upper surface of the outer container. A first container protrusion and a second cover protrusion protruding in a ring shape from the inner and outer sides of the first container protrusion are formed on the bottom surface of the container cover. A mounting groove is formed between the first container projection and the second container projection. A sealing member is mounted to the second container protrusion and the mounting groove, respectively. The guide member includes a ring-shaped lower guide having a plurality of radially projecting protrusions formed on an upper surface thereof, and an upper guide positioned at an upper end of the lower guide and coupled to surround a side surface of the lower guide. The periphery of the mesh portion is fixed between the lower guide and the upper guide.

A second category to which the present invention belongs includes devices in which the porous membrane is not a follower, ie does not lower in the container during dispensing of the product.

In this second category, FR 3 043 896 consists of a container body for storing cosmetics, a permeable fiber sheet for cosmetics that has elasticity and is attached to a hollow cylindrical frame under tension, and seals the container body with the inner lid fixed It relates to a device having a container comprising a sealing cover. The frame is mounted on the container body. The fibrous sheet has a peripheral edge that is adhered from the upper or lower end surface of the frame and along the inner circumferential surface of the frame.

Further, in a second category, KR 2016/0073895 discloses a container body part comprising a container body part, a cosmetic receiving part coupled to the container body part and holding cosmetics thereon, and a mesh frame part joined to the cosmetic receiving part and to which the mesh is attached by welding Cosmetic container, and at least one coupling member formed on the inside of the mesh frame part to be coupled to the mesh, and a fixed coupling part provided on the outer circumference of the container body part to press and pull the mesh to fix the mesh in a coupled state The coupling member includes a first coupling member formed to protrude from the inner lower surface of the mesh frame portion and coupled to the mesh, and a second coupling member formed on the inner surface of the mesh frame portion and coupled to the mesh.

There is a need to further improve packaging devices that include flexible porous membranes in which products can be picked up and are not followers.

According to one aspect, the present invention provides a device for packaging a product, in particular a cosmetic or care product, the device comprising:

- a cup member defining a storage of said product;

- preferably includes a mesh that is elastically deformable and the product is picked up,

The device is

- a support piece to which a mesh is attached in a peripheral fixation zone, said support piece being secured against the cup member during product dispensing, and

- a stretching member configured to stretch the mesh by pressing the mesh at at least one position radially inside the peripheral fixing zone.

The mesh attached to the support piece is not a follower.

It should also be noted that the mesh and the support piece are attached to each other prior to assembly of the device.

Advantageously, the support piece is fixed other than by snap-fastening to the cup member of the support piece.

The expression "except by snap-fastening" means that the support piece is fixed to the cup member by means of friction, bonding, welding or at least one axial locking element.

In this case, it is not necessary to provide a corresponding relief for the support piece and the cup member for snap fastening. The tension of the mesh can be adjusted more easily with less risk of under-stretching or over-stretching the mesh. Manufacturing tolerances may be higher.

It also offers more possibilities for performing sealing at the junction of various elements as required.

The support piece is preferably fixed in at least one position of the support piece not in contact with the mesh. This allows for a good fixation of the support piece, since there is no contact between the support piece and the mesh in said at least one fastening position.

During assembly of the device, the support piece may be inserted onto the cup member until abutting the surface of the cup member or until a desired position is reached, depending on the embodiment. Insertion of the support piece may generate a frictional force that secures the support piece to the cup member. Depending on the embodiment, the mesh may or may not be pressed between the support piece and the cup member. Pressurized may help secure the support piece to the cup member. The support piece may be inserted into the cup member until abutment of the support piece against the upper edge of the skirt of the cup member. The support piece may include one or more ribs that contribute to creating friction against the cup member. One or more ribs abut against the surface(s) of the cup member, which is preferably cylindrical. Advantageously there is no engagement of the rib(s) with the corresponding groove(s) of the cup member.

The present invention can adjust the tension or stretching of the mesh during assembly of the device.

The support piece is advantageously made of a rigid polymer material, for example a rigid thermoplastic material.

This is because the support piece or cup member does not need to be greatly deformed when the support piece is inserted into the cup member, so that when there is no snap fastening of the support piece to the cup member, a rigid material can be used to make the support piece and the cup member. . The snap-fastening member can also facilitate the forming of the support piece and the cup member since it is not necessary to make a snap-fastening groove.

The mesh is advantageously sufficiently elastically deformable to contact the bottom of the reservoir when the product in the reservoir is used up. After the device is assembled, the mesh is not stretched to the limit of elasticity. The device according to the invention can achieve good restoration of the product. The recovery rate may for example be greater than 80%, more preferably greater than 85%.

The stretching member is configured to stretch the mesh when the device is assembled. This mesh stretch is maintained while using the device. Stretching of the mesh due to the stretching member does not exist prior to physical contact between the mesh and the stretching member. The mesh attached to the support piece may be flat before contacting the stretching member. The support piece does not include the stretching member.

The stretching member may be part of the inner perimeter skirt. In this case, the stretching element is constituted, for example, at least in part by the upper end of the inner peripheral skirt. As a variant, the stretching member is configured upwardly or downwardly by the lower end of the inner peripheral skirt depending on the orientation of the skirt.

In certain embodiments, the inner perimeter skirt has a constant height. In a variant, the inner perimeter skirt has a variable height.

The support piece may be secured in at least one position of the support piece radially outside of the peripheral fixation area.

The support piece may be secured by contact with the outer perimeter skirt, for example by friction, by bonding or welding with such an outer perimeter skirt.

When the device includes an inner perimeter skirt and an outer perimeter skirt, the support piece may be at least partially sandwiched between the inner perimeter skirt and the outer perimeter skirt. In this case, the support piece may be fixed by friction, bonding or welding.

The inner perimeter skirt and the outer perimeter skirt, when present, are arranged in a concentric manner.

The support piece can be prevented from moving in the axial direction by means of the at least one axial locking element. The at least one axial locking element may axially cover the support piece to prevent the support piece from moving in the axial direction.

The cup member may include the stretching member.

The device may include a covering portion cooperating with the cup member. In this case, the covering part may include the stretching member.

When the device comprises an outer perimeter skirt, the latter may be part of the cup member or part of the covering part, if any.

In certain embodiments, the device has no covering portion.

The support piece may include a circumferential rib and contact of the circumferential rib with another portion of the device is involved in securing the support piece.

The mesh is advantageously welded to the support piece in the peripheral fixing zone, for example by ultrasonic or high-frequency welding.

The support piece comprises, for example, a ring, and the peripheral fastening zone is preferably at the lower end of the ring. The peripheral fastening zone may otherwise be at the upper end of the ring. The support piece advantageously comprises a single skirt ring. This means that you do not have more than two concentric skirts.

In one embodiment, the support piece comprises an outer edge extending radially outwardly from the remainder of the support piece, in particular from the upper end of the ring. The outer edge preferably rests on an element which participates in the immobilization of the support piece, for example on its upper end.

The support piece may comprise an inner edge extending radially inwardly from the remainder of the support piece, said inner edge overlying, for example, on the stretching member and a portion of the mesh sandwiched between the inner edge and the stretching member.

A device or part of a device may be refillable. In this case, the refills may be packaged individually, for example in sealed bags or boxes.

In one particular embodiment, one of the support piece and cup member comprises at least one first partition wall, and the other of the support piece and cup member includes at least two second partition walls surrounding the first partition wall. Thus, the mesh is surrounded between the at least one first partition wall and each of the at least two second partition walls. This embodiment allows creating a compartment of product within the cup member.

The peripheral fixed region bounds a region having a shape selected from among, for example, a circle, an ellipse, or a polygon such as a rectangle or a square.

The peripheral fixing region may have an annular shape.

The mesh may be a textile mesh and may include a woven, non-woven or knitted fabric. The mesh may be, for example, a foam membrane or other non-textile mesh such as a perforated plastic film.

The mesh is permeable so that product can be picked up therethrough.

The mesh includes a lower surface oriented towards the product contained in the reservoir and an upper surface distal to the product contained in the reservoir.

The maximum thickness between the lower and upper surfaces of the mesh is the thickness of the mesh. The thickness of the mesh may be 0.4 to 5 mm.

The area of the upper surface of the mesh may be ^{between 180 mm 2} and 3800 mm ^{2 .} The area of this top surface and the thickness of this mesh can minimize the amount of textile material required and the amount of product remaining entrapped in the mesh at the end of use, while allowing the user to have a large surface to access the product. have.

Depending on the initial filling degree of the cup member, the product contained in the reservoir may or may not contact the lower surface of the mesh when the user does not apply pressure to the lower surface of the mesh.

Preferably, the mesh can conform to the surface of the product received in the reservoir while the product is being picked up.

The upper surface of the mesh may be substantially flat in the portion through which the product passes during use. The lower surface of the mesh may be substantially flat in the portion through which the product passes during use. The areas of the upper and lower surfaces of the mesh may be equal to or different from each other.

The thickness of the mesh may be substantially constant in the portion through which the product passes during use.

The support piece may be secured to the upper surface of the mesh. Alternatively, the support piece may be fixed to the lower surface of the mesh.

The bottom of the reservoir may have a substantially flat shape or a concave shape towards the mesh. The bottom of the reservoir may be parabolic, elliptical or spherical. The bottom of the reservoir may be located at about the same level as the lower portion of the device.

The cosmetic is advantageously one of a foundation, a concealer product, a complexion correcting product and a care product.

The product may be in liquid, pastry or free powder form.

The product may be fluid. The viscosity of the product may be from 40 to 90 UD (in units of deviation), preferably from 55 to 80 UD, or from 366 to 569 cP (centipoise), or from 0.37 to 0.57 Pa.s.

This viscosity is measured at 25° C. using a Rheomat 180 (Lamy) equipped with an MS-R2 spindle, selected for low to medium viscosity of the product rotating at a rate of 200 revolutions/min. Measurements are taken after a rotation time of 10 minutes. Viscosity measurements are carried out no later than one week after preparation. This viscosity improves the ejection of the product from the upper surface of the mesh and makes it possible to avoid the product from flowing during use.

The device may include a protective cover that covers the mesh when the product is not being picked up. The protective cover can be secured by friction, screw fastening, bayonet locking or snap fastening. In a variant, the protective sheath can be connected by articulation or sliding connection.

The product may be taken from the upper surface of the mesh with the aid of an applicator. Such an applicator may comprise or consist of an applicator member such as a foam, brush, sponge, nonwoven, or flocked end piece.

In the variant, the product is picked up by passing the latter through the mesh with a finger.

The device may not have an applicator received between the protective cover and the mesh. This simplifies fabrication compared to a device with an integrated applicator, and allows the user to be given greater freedom of choice in applying the product.

In one variant, the device comprises an applicator to provide the user with a complete system.

The device may in particular comprise a mirror which is accommodated in a protective cover.

The device does not allow any wiper member from which the applicator is extracted.

The device may in particular not comprise a bellows in the cup member.

The cup member may include a rigid body. The rigid body may be manufactured by molding a thermoplastic material, wherein a cavity defines a space for receiving the product and constituting the reservoir. The cup member is not a flexible sheet.

The cup member may include the inner perimeter skirt and the outer perimeter skirt arranged in a concentric manner, and the support piece is interposed therebetween.

The support piece may be supported by an upper edge of an inner perimeter skirt or an outer perimeter skirt that is part of the cup member, the support piece being caught between the cup member and the retaining piece.

When the cup member comprises an inner perimeter skirt and an outer perimeter skirt arranged in a concentric manner, the support piece may lie against the bottom of the cylindrical space between the two skirts.

There may be one single piece comprising a stretching member and retention by radial clamping.

1 to 4 show an embodiment of a device 1 for packaging a product according to the invention. The device 1 is assembled along the axis X. The device 1 comprises a cup member 2 defining a reservoir 3 of product. 1 to 4 the reservoir 3 is shown empty. The reservoir 3 is defined by an inner peripheral skirt 4 of cylindrical shape and a partially flat bottom 5 as shown. In this example, the diameter of the inner perimeter skirt 4 is larger than the height of the inner perimeter skirt 4 .

The device 1 also comprises an elastically deformable and permeable mesh 6 so that the product can be picked up. In this example, the mesh 6 is made of a woven fabric, but may be made of a non-woven or knitted fabric or other textile material, such as a foam, without departing from the scope of the present invention.

The device 1 also comprises a support piece 10 to which a mesh 6 is attached to the peripheral fixing zone 12 . The support piece 10 comprises a ring 15 of cylindrical shape, in this example a single skirt ring. In this example, the mesh 6 is welded to the support piece 10 . Also in this example, the peripheral fixing zone 12 is constituted by the lower end of the ring 15 .

The device 1 comprises a stretching member 16 configured to stretch the mesh by pressing the mesh 6 at at least one position radially inside the peripheral fixing zone 12 . In this example, the stretching member 16 is part of the inner peripheral skirt 4 of the cup member 2 constituted by its upper end. In this example, the inner perimeter skirt has a constant height.

The support piece 10 is fixed to the cup member 2 other than by means of snap fastening. The support piece 10 is in this example fixed in part by frictional contact with another piece of the device at a position 20 radially outside of the peripheral fixing zone 12 . In this embodiment, the cup member 2 comprises an outer perimeter skirt 25 radially outward and parallel to the inner perimeter skirt 4 . Between the inner perimeter skirt 4 and the outer perimeter skirt 25 there is an annular space 26 . In this example, the support piece 10 is fixed to the cup member 2 by friction.

The two concentric peripheral skirts of the cup member 2 constituted by the inner perimeter skirt 4 and the outer perimeter skirt 25 are flat and have a lower surface aligned with the lower surface of the bottom 5 of the reservoir 3 . It is linked at the lower end of the cup member 2 by a wall 27 . The wall 27 also extends radially outward with respect to the outer peripheral skirt 25 having an outer edge 28 . The skirts 4 and 25 are integral with the cup member.

The ring 15 of the support piece 10 comprises a circumferential rib 29 in contact with the outer peripheral skirt 25 at position 20 . A circumferential rib 29 extends on the radially outer surface 30 of the ring 15 , substantially in its middle part.

The ring 15 of the support piece 10 also comprises, at its upper end, a radially inner rib 31 extending on the radially inner surface 32 of the ring 15 .

The support piece 10 comprises an outer edge 33 extending radially outward from the remainder of the support piece 10 , in this example from the upper end of the ring 15 .

Before assembly, the mesh 6 attached to the support piece 10 is flat as shown in FIG. 3 .

During assembly of the device along the axis X, the support piece 10 is assembled to the cup member 2 so that, as shown in FIG. 4 , the stretching member 16 is peripherally fixed to stretch the mesh 6 . The mesh 6 is pressed in one annular position 34 radially within the zone 12 . The mesh 6 is deformed. The mesh 6 then comprises a welded outer section 35 , a tubular section 36 and a flat circular inner section 37 . The outer zone 35 corresponds to the peripheral fixed zone 12 . The tubular region 36 is between the peripheral fixed region 12 and the annular position 34 . The inner region 37 is the region of the mesh 6 that is inside the annular position 34 . This inner zone 37 is the zone of the mesh 6 from which the product will be picked up. In this example, the inner region 37 is circular in shape, but may be square, rectangular in shape, or may have other shapes without departing from the scope of the present invention.

When the device 1 is assembled, the support member 10 is at least partially sandwiched between the inner perimeter skirt 4 and the outer perimeter skirt 25 . The presence of the ribs 29 , 31 serves to hold the support piece 10 and the mesh 6 to the device 1 by friction. The support piece 10 is immovable in the device 1 once the latter is assembled.

The outer edge 33 rests on the upper end 40 of the outer peripheral skirt 25 and acts as abutment. The outer edge 33 thus rests on the upper end 40 of the outer peripheral skirt 25 .

In addition to the cup member 2 , the support piece 10 and the mesh 6 , the device 1 may also include other parts. In this example, the device 1 has a case having a substantially cylindrical opening 51 for receiving a cup member 2 and a support piece 10 attached to a mesh 6 as shown in FIG. 1 . 50) is included.

The case 50 includes a portion of a hinge 52 for receiving an articulated protective covering, not shown in the figure. The case 50 also comprises, in this example, a peripheral skirt 54 forming at least part of the border of the trim portion 53 , the cylindrical opening 51 . Once the device 1 is assembled, the lower end of the peripheral skirt 54 rests on the outer edge 28 of the cup member 2 , which acts as an abutment. At least a portion of the outer surface 55 of the outer skirt 25 contacts the inner surface 56 of the outer skirt 54 . In this example, the outer surface 55 of the outer perimeter skirt 25 includes an upper circumferential rib 57 and a lower circumferential rib 58 to contact the inner surface 56 of the outer perimeter skirt 54 . Further in this example, the upper circumferential rib 57 is less tall than the lower circumferential rib 58 because the peripheral skirt 54 does not have a constant thickness but thickens from the lower end toward the upper end.

The case 50 includes a circumferential lip 60 at the upper end of the peripheral skirt 54 . The circumferential lip 60 extends over and radially covers the support piece 10 and the annular position 34 up to the peripheral part of the inner region 37 of the mesh 6 . The circumferential lip 60 can act as an axial locking element for the support piece 10 . In this example, the annular rib 61 at the upper end of the support piece 10 acts as an abutment of the circumferential lip 60 . The lip 60 has an outwardly substantially flat shape of the contact area with the support piece 10 and has a shape that converges inwardly of the contact area with the support piece 10 .

In a variant, the case 50 comprises a support piece 10 attached to a mesh 6 .

Contact zones between different elements of the device 1 make it possible to obtain watertightness of the device 1 .

The device 1 may be refillable. In this case, the refills may be packaged individually, for example in sealed bags or boxes.

In this embodiment, the inner perimeter skirt 4 is less tall than the outer perimeter skirt 25 which also includes an outer perimeter edge 70 . Further in this embodiment, the outer perimeter skirt 25 and the wall 27 linked from below the inner perimeter skirt 4 are flat and have no edges 28 . Most of the bottom 5 of the reservoir 3 is below the lower level of the wall 27 as shown. The support piece 10 has at its upper end a ring 15 with an outer edge 33 , the ring 15 being a single skirt ring. The support piece 10 has circumferential inner ribs 72 .

In Fig. 5, the storage 3 is empty.

In FIG. 6 , the reservoir 3 of the cup member 2 is filled with a cosmetic product P, which in this example is a foundation. The filling level 71 does not exceed the upper end of the inner peripheral skirt 4 .

In FIG. 7 , the support piece 10 attached to the mesh 6 is shown above the cup member 2 before being assembled.

8 and 9 , the support piece 10 and the mesh 6 are assembled to the cup member 2 . The lower end of the ring 15 , corresponding to the peripheral fastening zone 12 , rests on a wall 27 , which in this example serves as abutment. The circumferential inner rib 72 contacts the outer surface of the inner peripheral skirt 4 . At least a portion of the outer surface of the ring 15 contacts the inwardly radial surface of the outer peripheral skirt 25 at the contact position 20 . In this example, the support piece 10 is held by friction.

The product P can be picked up by the user using a finger or an applicator pressing the upper surface 73 of the mesh 6 in the inner region 37 . The product P passes through the permeable mesh 6 and is picked up for makeup or application of a keratinous substance, such as the skin of a user or another person.

10 and 11 show another embodiment of the present invention.

Only the support piece 10 fixed to the mesh 6 is shown in FIG. 10 . The support piece 10 consists of a small ring 15 without an outer edge.

When the support piece 10 is assembled to the cup member 2 together with the mesh 6, as shown in FIG. 11, the support piece 10 contacts the lower end of the cylindrical space 26 and only the lower portion thereof. occupy

The outwardly radial surface of the outer peripheral skirt 25 has reliefs which can be coupled to corresponding reliefs of the covering wall 77 of the covering portion 75 to snap the cup member 2 and the covering portion 75 together. is provided

In this example, the support piece 10 is held by bonding to the inner surface of the outer peripheral skirt 25 due to the adhesive composition at the position 20 . Otherwise it can be held by welding or radial clamping.

The circumferential wall 76 covers the upper surface of the mesh 6 . The stretching member 16 is formed by the lower end of the inner peripheral skirt 4 supported by the circumferential wall 76 . The circumferential wall 76 also forms an axial locking element for the support piece 10 .

14 and 15 , the cup member 2 has two concentric peripheral skirts among the inner peripheral skirts 4 . Outwardly, the cup member 2 comprises another peripheral skirt 80 having a smaller height than one of the inner peripheral skirts 4 . In the present embodiment, the device 1 includes a covering portion 75 . The covering wall 77 of the covering part 75 is coupled to the peripheral skirt 80 by means of a corresponding relief. The covering wall 77 inwardly provides a shoulder 81 covering the upper end of the support piece 10 . The support piece 10 is axially captured between the shoulder 81 and the upper end of the peripheral skirt 80 . The shoulder 81 axially covers the support piece 10 , forming an axial locking element for the support piece 10 . The support piece 10 is also sandwiched along an axis perpendicular to the axis X between the inner peripheral skirt 4 and the covering wall 77 . A part of the tubular section 36 of the mesh 6 is sandwiched between the inner peripheral skirt 4 and the covering wall 77 above the shoulder 81 up to its upper end constituting the stretching member 16 .
