Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a case, particularly of the make-up-case type, capable of being closed by an articulated lid.
  • a case of this type generally comprises two parts, a base and a lid, which are articulated on one another by at least one hinge.
  • a case of this type is intended for containing one or more slakable products of pasty, liquid or powdery consistency, such as an eye shadow, a rouge, a blusher or a foundation. Usually, these products are marketed in a wide range of shades.
  • the link between the base and the lid is provided by a multi-hinge structure.
  • the base of the case according to document U.S. Pat. No. 5,568,820 is articulated with an intermediate element by means of an attached pin hinge, the actual lid being articulated with this intermediate element by a film hinge.
  • the intermediate element is immobilized relative to the lid such that the film hinge does not operate upon opening/closure operations carried out throughout the remaining period of use of the case.
  • the thickness of a case of this type may, for example, be of the order of 5 mm to 10 mm.
  • the case according to document U.S. Pat. No. 5,568,820 presents the drawback that the arrowheads, oriented perpendicularly to the articulation axis over a thickness of 5 mm to 10 mm, are not very robust and risk breaking during the repeated handling operations that the case has to undergo in the course of its use.
  • Document U.S. Pat. No. 4,840,288 describes a case including a base delimiting a housing and a lid connected together by means of an intermediate element, the lid being able to pivot through 360° relative to the base.
  • the base of the case is articulated on the intermediate element by an attached pin hinge placed half way up one of the lateral walls of the base.
  • the lid is also articulated on this intermediate element by an attached pin hinge.
  • the intermediate element may be fixed to the base by means of a hook placed substantially in the centre of the intermediate element and which fixes to the upper edge of the lateral wall of the base.
  • the intermediate element thus extends on either side of the plane formed by the opening of the housing of the base, thus partially placing the lid in a plane above the plane formed by the opening of the housing of the base.
  • a device of this type is relatively bulky in this position.
  • the intermediate element extends beyond the plane formed by the opening of the housing at the base in the use position, it may easily be knocked by the user, thereby unlocking it.
  • a case for packaging a product including a base delimiting at least one housing containing the product, and a lid articulated on the base via an intermediate element capable, in a first configuration of the case, of pivoting both relative to the lid and relative to the base, so as to allow the lid to pivot through 360° relative to the base
  • the intermediate element including catch means capable, in a second configuration of the case, called the “use” configuration, of engaging with complementary catch means of the base so as to allow the locking of the intermediate element on the base
  • the housing including an opening extending substantially in a plane, the intermediate element being, in the use position, arranged substantially entirely on the same side of the plane.
  • the intermediate element is, in the use position, arranged substantially entirely on the plane side facing the base.
  • the intermediate element is intended for securing to the base
  • the maximum angle of rotation between the lid and the intermediate element is reduced relative to what it is in the configuration of the case described in document U.S. Pat. No. 5,568,820.
  • this angle is of the order of 180°.
  • the problems of elongation of the material, of whitening and of appearance mentioned above with reference to document U.S. Pat. No. 5,568,820 do not arise to such a degree.
  • the intermediate element does not extend beyond the plane formed by the opening of the housing, such that no protuberance promoting its unlocking is formed. Finally, a device which is relatively compact in this position is obtained.
  • the complementary catch means are formed by a lateral wall of the base which is delimited by a first edge adjacent to the lid in the closed position of the case and a second edge opposite the first one, the complementary catch means being arranged at a distance from the first edge.
  • the catch means are not fixed on the upper edge of the lateral wall of the base as is the case for the case described in document U.S. Pat. No. 4,840,288. The catch means can thus not be easily unlocked unintentionally by the user.
  • the complementary catch means are formed by a lateral wall of the base which is delimited by a first edge adjacent to the lid in the closed position of the case and a second edge opposite the first one, a first articulation axis being arranged substantially at the location of the second edge.
  • the catch means of the intermediate element are capable of interacting by snap-fitting with the complementary catch means of the base, the catch means including a member capable, upon its engagement with the complementary catch means of the base, of flexing elastically in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the intermediate element.
  • the intermediate element has two longitudinal edges. These two edges are, in particular, parallel to one another, a first articulation axis being located in the vicinity of a first edge of the intermediate element. A second axis is located in the vicinity of a second edge of the intermediate element, opposite the first edge.
  • the articulation about the first axis connects the intermediate element to the base while the articulation about the second axis connects the intermediate element to the lid.
  • the catch means are arranged so that the engagement of the base on the intermediate element is irreversible. Under these conditions, upon first use, the intermediate element is immobilized relative to the base and the first axis becomes non-operational. Only the pivoting of the lid on the intermediate piece, about the second axis, is possible, and only over a limited angular portion relative to the angle of maximum opening.
  • the case By reason of the lid's ability to pivot through 360° relative to the base, the case may be presented in an open position, such that its contents can be seen immediately by the user. Thus, in this maximum open position, the case may be packaged in a transparent blister pack and displayed at points of sale.
  • This blister-pack packaging method also has the advantage of allowing the surface area of the case to be minimized.
  • the case may be formed entirely by moulding, in a single piece, each of the axes being formed of a film hinge.
  • only one of the axes may be produced in the form of a film hinge, the other in the form of an attached pin hinge.
  • the case consists of two distinct pieces: a base (with the intermediate element) and a lid.
  • the axis connecting the base to the intermediate element is formed by an attached pin hinge. Therefore, the base (with the intermediate element) and the lid may be produced from two different materials.
  • the base and the intermediate element are moulded fully from an economically advantageous material suited to the production of the film hinge, such as polypropylene or another appropriate polyolefin.
  • the lid which is the most visible part of the case, this may be produced from a material other than polypropylene which makes it possible, in particular, to produce a special decoration or lacquering.
  • materials which may constitute the lid mention will be made of acrylobutadiene styrene (ABS), urea formaldehyde, polyacrylates, polystyrene, polyoxymethylene (POM), acrylic glass or polystyrene acrylonitrile (SAN).
  • the case referred to by the invention is preferably produced in a substantially flat form. It defines a receptacle delimiting at least one compartment capable of containing a product, particularly a slakable product, such as a make-up product.
  • the receptacle is shaped so as to contain, in addition, a product applicator member.
  • the lid may have a mirror on its inner face, enabling the user to look at herself when making up her face.
  • the case includes means capable of allowing reversible locking in the closed position of the lid on the base.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a case of the make-up type according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows a transverse sectional view of the case of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a transverse sectional view of the case of FIG. 1 in the position in which it is open through 360°;
  • FIG. 4 shows a transverse sectional view of the case of FIG. 1 during assembly
  • FIG. 5 shows a transverse sectional view of the case of FIG. 1 in the closed position
  • FIG. 6 shows, in transverse section, the case of FIG. 1 in the “use” position, open through 180°;
  • FIGS. 7 a and 7 b each show a partial perspective view of a case according to a variant embodiment of the invention.
  • a make-up case according to the invention is denoted by the reference 1 . It has a substantially flat shape, as is used, in particular, for packing make-up products, such as foundations, eye shadows, blushers or other products of the same type. It may be thin, for example of the order of 8 mm or 10 mm.
  • the case 1 is formed principally from a base 2 and a lid 4 mounted so as to pivot on the base.
  • the case is moulded as a single piece from a suitable thermoplastic material, for example from polypropylene.
  • the base 2 forms one or more compartments in the form of at least one receptacle 2 a for a slakable product P, particularly a make-up product. If appropriate, one of the compartments maybe used to receive an applicator for picking up the product P and applying it to the desired location (not shown).
  • the lid 4 has a reinforcement 9 extending over a substantial portion of its surface, for receiving a mirror 4 a.
  • a clasp 4 b carried by the lid 4 is capable of engaging with a corresponding member 2 b carried by the base 2 , for providing reversible locking of the lid 4 on the base 2 .
  • the base 2 forms a recess 3 shaped to facilitate the opening of the case 1 .
  • the lid 4 is connected to the base 2 by means of an intermediate element 20 , of elongate form, having two longitudinal edges 21 , 22 .
  • the intermediate element is delimited laterally by two flanks 20 a , 20 b .
  • the intermediate element 20 is connected to the base by a first film hinge 23 , forming a first articulation axis A 1 .
  • This film hinge is located on the edge 21 of the intermediate element 20 .
  • a second film hinge 24 is formed on the edge 22 , forming a second articulation axis A 2 .
  • This second film hinge 24 connects the intermediate element 2 to the lid 4 .
  • the articulation of the lid, via the intermediate element, on the base is provided by a parallel-axis dual-articulation structure.
  • a lateral wall 5 of the base 2 attached to the film hinge 23 , includes an elongate opening B.
  • This opening B extends in a rectilinear fashion in a direction parallel to the axes A 1 and A 2 over a substantial portion of the width of the wall 5 .
  • the intermediate element 20 on its face for coming into contact with the lateral wall 5 of the base, includes locking means C. These locking means C are capable of irreversibly engaging in the opening B.
  • the locking means C are produced in the form of a longitudinal tongue 30 .
  • This tongue 30 is oriented parallel to the pivot axes A 1 and A 2 and extends over a median zone of the intermediate element 20 , over a width substantially equal to the width of the opening B.
  • the opening B is positioned appropriately to allow insertion of the tongue 30 .
  • the tongue 30 has a sloping surface 32 , one edge of which has a hook-shaped profile 31 . Catching of the tongue 30 is ensured by this hook-shaped profile 31 engaging inside an inner edge of the opening B.
  • the tongue 30 is slightly flexible in a direction substantially parallel to the plane of the intermediate element 30 (perpendicularly towards the outside relative to the axis A 1 ).
  • the case in the presentation position illustrated in FIG. 3, the case, open through 360°, may be displayed at points of sale so as to make the product packaged in the compartment 2 a visible.
  • This position also makes it possible to package the case in a transparent blister pack. This has the advantage that the product is protected but the consumer is able to choose the desired product shade without having to open the case. The case thus packaged takes up a minimum amount of space.
  • the tongue 30 then comes opposite the orifice B and the sloping surface 32 bears against the lower edge of the orifice B.
  • the tongue 30 over its entire width, flexes elastically upwards. It is thus possible to insert the tongue 30 entirely in the opening B.
  • the hook-shaped profile 31 has crossed the inner edge 107 of the opening B (FIG. 7 a )
  • the tongue returns, through elasticity, into its initial position.
  • the hook 31 is accommodated behind the lateral wall 5 of the base and gives rise to irreversible locking of the intermediate element 20 on the base. In this way, the first axis A 1 becomes completely non-operational.
  • FIG. 5 shows the case in the closed position, allowing the product P to be protected from dust or the case to be carried in a handbag.
  • FIGS. 7 a and 7 b illustrate a variant embodiment, according to which a case 101 consists essentially of two distinct elements 102 , 104 .
  • the parts of the case which are identical or play a similar role bear the same reference numbers of the case 1 , increased by 100 .
  • the case 101 differs in that the base 102 is moulded entirely with the intermediate element 120 from a suitable material. Its configuration and its functioning are similar to those of the case 1 and they will be described only briefly.
  • the intermediate element 120 is connected to the base 102 by a film hinge 123 defining a first articulation axis A 1 .
  • This film hinge becomes non-operational after the first closure of the case, as described above with respect to the case 1 of the embodiment described above.
  • the second hinge 124 is of the attached pin type and includes an attached pin.
  • the structure of the case 101 has the advantage that it is possible to choose, for production of the base and the intermediate element, which are somewhat concealed, a first economically advantageous material, for example polypropylene. This material makes it possible to produce the film hinge 123 .
  • the locking means C are identical to those described above with reference to the case 1 .
  • the embodiments according to the invention allow solid locking of the means C in the catch orifice B of the base 102 . Moreover, these means are invisible to the user during use of the case. Any deformation of the intermediate element 120 or of the lateral wall 105 of the base during a number of uses will scarcely be noted.
  • a second plastic material capable of receiving a special decoration or a lacquering is advantageously chosen. This is important since the lid is the most visible and value-enhancing part of a make-up case.
  • the second material is chosen, for example, from urea formaldehyde, acrylobutadiene styrene (ABS) or polystyrene acrylonitrile (SAN), polyoxymethylene (POM), acrylic glass, styrene, etc.
