Definitions

  • the present invention relates to boxes, and more particularly but not exclusively to boxes for containing applicators and/or cosmetics.
  • Such boxes generally comprise a base portion and a lid connected to the base portion by means of a hinge, which hinge may include a metal pin.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a novel box which may be characterizable, in a first aspect of the invention, by the fact that the hinge comprises a first element fixed to the base portion and a second element fixed to the lid, one of the first and second elements being a loop element and the other a hook element.
  • the loops and the hooks are arranged to co-operate mutually.
  • Loop and hook elements are sold in particular in the form of strips under the trademark Velcro® and are in widespread use as fastener means, the hooks being made, for example, by molding a plastics material, and the loops being formed by a woven or non-woven fabric.
  • the hooks and the loops may co-operate to catch together, with at least some of the hooks becoming engaged in the loops.
  • hook should not be understood in a limited sense, and it covers ends having two hooks or an enlarged head.
  • loop should not be interpreted respectively, and it covers loops that are open or closed.
  • the first and second elements present hooking means of complementary types distributed over their surfaces and suitable for catching together mechanically when they are united.
  • the invention makes it possible to provide a hinge without it being necessary to use a metal pin, unlike conventional hinges.
  • the invention also makes it possible to provide boxes in which the lid can, if necessary, be completely separated from the base portion, thus making it possible, for example, to use a plurality of base portions in association with a common lid, which lid may include, for example, a mirror, with the various base portions possibly containing substances presenting different colors and/or natures, and/or different applicators.
  • a single base portion may be used with the lid, but in a variant, a plurality of base portions may be used with the same lid, the base portions being superposable, at least one of the base portions serving as a lid for another base portion underlying it.
  • the terms “rear”, “front”, “top”, and “bottom” refer to the box when it is observed in the closed state and the hinge is situated further back from the observer, the box being opened initially by causing the lid to tilt upwards and rearwards.
  • the first element may extend over said rear and top faces. Since the lid presents rear and bottom faces, the second element may extend over said rear and bottom faces so as to co-operate with the first element.
  • the box may include at least one third element on the top face of its base portion.
  • the box may include at least one fourth element on the bottom face of the lid and one of the third and fourth elements may be a loop element while the other is a hook element, the third and fourth elements being disposed in such a manner as to catch together when the box is in a closed position.
  • the box may include on said bottom face at least one fifth element, which may be a loop element or a hook element.
  • the fifth element is of a kind complementary to the third element, said fifth element being positioned on the bottom face of the base portion in such a manner as to be capable of catching onto at least one other third element present on an underlying base portion positioned beneath said bottom face.
  • the box On the bottom face of the base portion, the box may include at least one sixth element arranged to catch with another first element of an underlying base portion disposed beneath said bottom face. This enables the base portions to be joined together.
  • the first element may comprise at least two distinct portions, in particular two portions disposed close to respective opposite side faces of the base portion.
  • the two distinct portions may be of the same kind or they may be of complementary kinds.
  • the second element may comprise at least two distinct portions disposed on the lid in corresponding manner.
  • the first element may present at least one fraction which extends over the top face of the base portion, and said fraction may be of non-constant width, in particular its width may increase on approaching the rear face of the base portion. This can make it easier to open the box, where appropriate.
  • the first element may include fractions fixed on surfaces that are substantially plane.
  • the first element may also include at least one fraction fixed on a surface that is not plane, and in particular on a circularly cylindrical surface.
  • One of the lid and the base portion may include a tab having a loop element or a hook element and the other one of the lid and the base portion may include a portion for catching onto said tab.
  • the first element may extend partially over at least one side face of the base portion and the second element may extend partially over at least one side face of the lid. This enables the lid to be assembled to the side of the base portion after the box has been opened.
  • the first element may extend simultaneously over the top face, the rear face, and at least one side face of the base portion.
  • the base portion and the lid may each present an outline that is rectangular or otherwise, in particular an outline that is circular when observed from above, and the first and second elements may extend over respective fractions of the circumference of the base portion and of the lid. These fractions may each correspond, for example, to at least one-fourth of the circumference.
  • At least one of the first and second elements may be fixed at least in part in a setback in the base portion or in the lid. It is preferably a hook element which is fixed in a setback of the base portion or the lid, with the depth of the setback possibly being sufficient to ensure that the hooks do not project significantly outside the setback.
  • At least one of the base portion and the lid may include a portion in relief arranged to co-operate with a complementary portion in relief on the other one of the lid and the base portion so as to ensure that the lid is always positioned in the same manner relative to the base portion when the box is closed.
  • the base portion may also include a portion in relief on its bottom face, said relief being arranged to co-operate with a portion in relief on the top face of another base portion so as to position said other base portion relative to the first.
  • the base portion may include a housing for receiving one at least one substance, in particular a substance contained in a dish.
  • the base portion may include a housing receiving at least one applicator.
  • the bottom of said housing may include a hook element or a loop element arranged to hold the applicator.
  • the lid may include a mirror, in particular on its bottom face.
  • the invention also provides a base portion or a lid considered in isolation.
  • Such a base portion or such a lid may be sold separately, for example in a blister pack, e.g. for the purpose of constituting a refill, or a spare lid, or in order to enable a user who already possesses a box comprising a lid and a base portion to add at least one second base portion thereto.
  • hook elements or loop elements on one of the outside faces of the box can serve, where appropriate, to reduce any risk of the box moving while it is being carried about in a handbag or vanity case, by providing appropriate fastener means therein.
