Definitions

  • the invention relates to a refill for a cosmetic product dispensing receptacle, such as a care cream or make-up powder and more particularly to a refill that is removably placed in a dispensing receptacle.
  • Receptacles for dispensing cosmetic product are known, which are generally made of plastic, and include a support connected to a cover via a pivot connection with a metal stud.
  • a cup filled with cosmetic product is traditionally glued to the bottom of the support, so that it does not move relative to the base when the user is dispensing product.
  • a mirror may also be glued to the cover so that the user can look at themselves when applying make-up.
  • the platform when the platform is resting against the cup, it can damage the cup if the pressure is too great when the platform or cover is closed, or if it is not centred correctly. In this case, the powder may crack.
  • the cup may still move within the support, which is not recommended.
  • the platform when closing the platform on the support, the platform may be slightly offset according to the different support points it encounters and due to the flexibility of the plastic hinge, and may be positioned too far forward, for example, which makes it impossible for the platform to snap-fit onto the support. The platform can thus be opened unintentionally.
  • Receptacles for dispensing cosmetic product which include a refill disposed in the support.
  • This refill includes a base defining a housing for the cup, and a pivoting platform for holding the cup in position.
  • the present invention aims to overcome the various disadvantages set out above, by means of a receptacle containing a removable refill, in which there is a removable cup, without the use of glue, this refill including a platform which allows the centring and clamping of the cup, without damaging it, with reliability in the closing of the platform.
  • the refill for a cosmetic product dispensing receptacle according to the invention includes, in a conventional manner:
  • One idea of the disclosure presented herein is the addition of a system for positioning the cup within the refill thanks to the platform, in order to avoid any relative movement of the cup with respect to the base.
  • These means allow to compensate for any dimensional variations of the cup, and to ensure optimal positioning of the cup within the base, in particular the centering, so that the clamping is then performed uniformly around the entire circumference of the cup, and in order to ensure the integrity of the cup and of the product contained therein.
  • This positioning system cooperates with a hanging system provided between the platform and the base, in order to prevent the platform from being shifted and incorrectly locked to the base. This ensures that the platform can be reliably closed. It also allows to prevent too much pressure when the platform is closed.
  • the different systems are linked, and work in synergy to achieve the objective.
  • the invention also relates to a receptacle for dispensing cosmetic product including:

  • FIG. 1 shows the receptacle 1 in the closed position.
  • This cosmetic product is contained in a cup 34 located inside the receptacle 1 .
  • This receptacle 1 is cylindrical.
  • This receptacle 1 traditionally consists of a support 5 to which a cover 3 is connected via a first pivot connection.
  • This pivot connection is located at the rear part AR of the receptacle 1 , while the front part AV of the receptacle 1 , located opposite the rear part, has a clasp.
  • This cover 3 is movable between a closed position as shown in FIG. 1 and an open position as shown in FIG. 2 where the cosmetic product is then accessible.
  • the cover 3 is open to 130°.
  • a removable refill 0 is arranged inside the support 5 .
  • This refill 0 contains the cup 34 .
  • This refill 0 is best seen in FIGS. 8 to 11 .
  • It consists mainly of a base 2 defining a housing for receiving a cup 34 , and a platform 4 for holding the cup 34 in position.
  • the cup 34 is thus interposed between the base 2 and the platform 4 .
  • the platform 4 has a central window through which it is possible to perceive the cosmetic product contained in the cup 34 .
  • the cup 34 may have any type of shape, and any particular technical area. In the illustrated figures, the cup 34 is cylindrical.
  • the cup 34 is made of treated steel or aluminium. Any other material may be considered within the scope of the present invention.
  • the platform 4 is connected to the base 2 via a second pivot connection.
  • the platform 4 is pivotable between a closed position as in FIGS. 8 and 9 , where the cup 34 is held in position, and an open position as in FIGS. 10 and 11 , where the cup 34 is released, allowing the user to have access to the cup 34 , particularly if they wish to replace it.
  • the second pivot connection is located at the rear part AR of the refill 0 , which coincides with the rear part AR of the receptacle 1 .
  • the front part AV of the refill 0 also coincides with the front part AV of the receptacle 1 .
  • the platform 4 has an annular shape, with the large central window 22 allowing free access to the cup 34 inserted in the base 2 .
  • the refill 0 is nested in the support 5 by means of snap-fit means.
  • the rear part of the refill 0 has a bevelled rear face 14 on which there are two snap-fit protrusions 13 . These two protrusions 13 protrude from the base 2 of the refill 0 .
  • the support 5 illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5 mainly includes a bottom 52 and a peripheral wall 51 . At its rear part, the support 5 has a plurality of snap-fitting notches 55 directed towards the inside of the support 5 and which cooperate with the protrusions 13 of the refill 0 .
  • the user when the refill 0 is placed on the support 5 , the user only has to press the refill 0 into the support 5 until the protrusions 13 snap-fit into the notches 55 .
  • snap-fitting means are also provided at the front of the receptacle 1 .
  • the support 5 has a snap-fit notch 54 in its peripheral wall 51 at the front, into which a snap-fit protrusion 20 provided for this purpose at the front of the refill 0 , on the platform 4 , is inserted.
  • the front part and the rear part of the refill 0 are snap-fitted into the support 5 simultaneously when the refill 0 is pushed into the support 5 by an axial translation movement along the axis X.
  • the refill 0 is locked axially within the receptacle 1 .
  • the notches 55 of the support 5 are made on ribs arranged in a rear plane inside the support 5 , this plane being parallel to the bevelled rear face 14 of the refill 0 .
  • the refill 0 is thus completely held in position within the support 5 .
  • the refill 0 includes a base 2 on which the platform 4 is articulated.
  • this base 2 includes a bottom 15 and an inner skirt 8 defining a housing for the cup 34 .
  • This skirt 8 thus enables to contain the cup 34 laterally.
  • this inner skirt 8 there are two lateral tabs 7 allowing the user to hold the cup 34 when inserting it into the housing, and also when removing it from the housing, when the user wishes to replace the cup 34 with another.
  • This pivot connection 12 may correspond to a film hinge. It may also correspond to a hinge with a stud, preferably a plastic stud, so that the materials used to manufacture the refill are identical for recyclability purposes.
  • the refill 0 includes a system for positioning the cup 34 to limit any relative movement of the cup 34 with respect to the base 2 .
  • These means enables to compensate for any dimensional variations of the cup 34 , and to ensure optimal positioning of the cup 34 within the base 2 , in particular centring of the cup 34 , so that clamping is then carried out uniformly around the entire perimeter of the cup 34 , and so as to ensure the integrity of the cup 34 and of the product contained within.
  • This positioning system is carried by the base 2 and the platform 4 , and cooperates with a hanging system provided between the platform 4 and the base 2 in the front part of the refill 0 .
  • the the positioning system includes a bearing surface 25 of the platform 4 which rests against an upper rim of the cup 34 , this bearing surface 25 having at least one positioning means.
  • the bearing surface includes two positioning means.
  • the first positioning means is the inclination of the bearing surface 25 .
  • the bearing surface 25 has an inclined lower face 38 which comes into contact with the upper rim of the cup 34 , as illustrated in FIGS. 19 to 21 .
  • This inclined lower face 38 forms a ramp along which contact can be made with the cup 34 , depending on the dimensions of the cup 34 . Since this ramp extends around the entire circumference of the cup 34 , it directly causes the cup 34 to be centred within the housing of the base 2 . This inclined bearing surface 25 thus orients the cup towards the middle of the base 2 .
  • This bearing surface 25 may be truncated conical, or spherical, or similar to a chamfer.
  • This inclined bearing surface 25 flares radially outwards.
  • the second positioning means consists of clamping lugs 23 protruding from the bearing surface 25 in the direction of the base 2 , and therefore a fortiori in the direction of the cup 34 .
  • lugs 23 are very small and allow small dimensional variations of the cup 34 to be compensated for, in particular variations in the height of the cup along its peripheral wall, in order to ensure optimum clamping.
  • These lugs 23 can be seen in FIGS. 10 , 11 , 21 for example.
  • the clamping lugs 23 come to rest against the upper rim of the cup 34 , and the platform 4 can deform slightly.
  • clamping lugs 23 there are two clamping lugs 23 arranged on either side of the front part of the refill 0 , and one clamping lug 23 arranged at the rear part of the refill 0 . There could be more clamping lugs 23 distributed differently, ideally evenly distributed along the bearing surface 25 .
  • the bearing surface 25 has the two positioning means together, namely the clamping lugs 23 arranged on the inclined lower face 38 . This is the optimal example with a very precise positioning of the cup 34 .
  • the positioning system according to the invention also includes a plurality of pins 6 protruding from the bottom 5 of the base 2 and on which the cup 34 rests. These pins 6 are rigid and not flexible. These pins 6 ensure that the cup 34 is positioned and wedge in height in the base 2 .
  • the cup 34 is thus wedged between the rigid pins 6 and this inclined bearing surface 25 , in a centred manner, thus limiting any rotation of the cup 34 within the base 2 during the handling of the receptacle 1 and during the removal of the cosmetic product.
  • the rigid pins 6 act as means for blocking the rotation of the cup 34 .
  • these pins 6 enables to make the locking of the cup 34 functional even if cosmetic powder comes under the cup 34 , which would not be the case if the cup rested directly on the bottom of the refill 0 , as it could slide on the powder.
  • This flexible geometry is made possible by a hanging system consisting of a snap-fit cooperation between flexible legs 24 provided on the platform 4 and windows 9 provided on the base 2 .
  • the inner skirt 8 of the base 2 which is dimensioned to surround and laterally contain the cup 34 , has windows 9 into which flexible legs 24 provided for this purpose on the platform 4 are inserted.
  • the platform 4 remains flexible with respect to the base 2 .
  • the legs 24 have an inclined wall 49 along which contact can be made with the upper edge 50 of a frame 19 of the window 9 .
  • the platform 4 can be lowered more or less in relation to the base 2 , depending on the height of the cup 34 to be clamped and centred.
  • This flexibility enables to avoid clamping the cup 34 too tightly, and thus to avoid cracking the powder it contains.
  • a closing system is provided between the cover 3 and the support 5 at the front of the receptacle 1 .
  • This closure system consists of hooks.
  • at least one protuberance 30 provided at the front of the support 5 is able to snap-fit into at least one groove 39 provided for this purpose at the front of the cover 3 .
  • the reverse could be envisaged, i.e. a projection in the cover and a groove in the support.
  • FIG. 19 shows this snap-fitting between the protrusion 30 and the groove 39 .
  • the protrusion 30 has an inclined wall in sliding contact with another inclined wall of the groove 39 after snap-fitting. This sliding contact allows to maintain a clearance or flexibility, in the closure of the cover 3 .
  • the sinking of the cover 3 into the support 5 is independent of the clamping of the cup 34 by the platform 4 .
  • the support 5 has, at the front, a recess 53 in which the closing element 29 of the cover 3 is housed, while leaving the lower part of the recess 53 free.
  • the user can insert his finger in the lower part of the recess 53 to be able to easily lift the cover 3 by pulling on the closing element 29 .
  • the base 2 has a front closure wall with a front tab 10 rounded towards the bottom 15 of the refill 0 , above which the protrusion 20 provided in the front part of the platform 4 is positioned.
  • the user can insert his finger into the front tab 10 to be able to easily lift the platform 4 by pulling on the protrusion 20 .
  • the closing wall extends perpendicular to the bottom 15 .
  • This closing wall is made in the form of a recess 21 in the front part, in which the recess 53 of the support 5 is housed.
  • the recess 21 is made over the entire height of the refill 0 , i.e. in both the base 2 and the platform 4 .
  • the front tab 10 is made in the recess 21 .
  • a gripping tab 56 is provided in the peripheral wall 51 of the support 5 , at the rear part.
  • This tab is made in the rear bevelled area.
  • the snap-fitting notches 55 are arranged on either side of this tab 56 .
  • the user can insert his finger into the tab 56 and directly reach the refill 0 to take it out of the support 5 .
  • the refill 0 cannot be gripped elsewhere because the peripheral wall 51 of the support 5 surrounds the entire refill 0 and the refill 0 does not protrude from the peripheral wall 51 in height.
  • the receptacle 1 includes, at the rear part, means for wedging the cover 3 in predefined inclined positions after opening.
  • the cover 3 is equipped with a mirror 26 (visible in FIG. 2 ), which further increases its weight. Hence the interest in having predefined opening positions that hold the cover 3 .

  • the cover 3 is illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7 .
  • the cover 3 has a hinge element 28 located at the rear. This hinge member 28 extends orthogonally from the cover 3 , parallel to the axis X, from a rear border of the cover 3 .
  • This hinge element 28 has a through hole in which a stud 33 , preferably plastic, is inserted.
  • the hinge element 28 has at least one forwardly directed protrusion 31 and at least one rearwardly directed protrusion 32 .
  • there are two protrusions 31 bordering the hinge element 28 and one protrusion 32 located in the centre of the hinge element 28 .

  • the support 5 has a leg 35 extending from the bottom 52 of the support, in the middle of the rear tab 56 , towards the top of the receptacle 1 .
  • This leg 35 has a nose 57 .
  • This leg 35 also has an inclined trunk 11 .
  • the tab 56 is cut into the peripheral wall 51 of the support 5 as explained above. This tab 56 is delimited by two side walls 59 connecting the peripheral wall 51 to the bevelled, or truncated, area inside the support 5 .
  • each side wall 59 there is a projection 58 .
  • the cover 3 is open to 130°.
  • These projections 58 are so small that they form a first hard point which can be passed if the user forces the rotation of the cover 3 .
  • the cover 3 After forcing this first hard point, the cover 3 reaches a second predefined position of 180°. In this case, the cover 3 lies flat with respect to the support 5 .
  • the cover 3 is held in this 180° position by the central protrusion 32 of the hinge element 28 of the cover 3 , which abuts against the nose 57 of the leg 35 of the support 5 .
  • This nose 57 is small enough to form a second hard point which can be passed if the user forces the rotation of the cover 3 .
  • the cover 3 After forcing this second hard point, the cover 3 reaches a third predefined position at 225°.
  • the cover 3 is held in this 225° position by the rear bearing surface 27 of the hinge element 28 of the cover 3 , which abuts against the inclined trunk 11 of the leg 35 of the support 5 .
  • the refill 0 is pre-lifted. This is therefore a position of the cover 3 used when the user wishes to remove the refill 0 in order to change the cup, for example.
  • the receptacle 1 is provided with means for assisting the extraction of the refill 0 by rotating the cover 3 through a predefined angle, in this case 225°. Another angle could be used to ensure this function.
  • These extraction aids consist of a contact between the hinge element 28 of the cover 3 and a rear element 17 of the refill 0 , when the cover 3 is rotated by reaching the angle of 225°, which causes a lifting of the rear part of the refill 0 , as is well illustrated in FIGS. 16 and 18 .
  • FIG. 16 it can be seen that the rear part of the refill 0 is no longer flush with the peripheral wall 51 of the support 5 , but protrudes slightly from the peripheral wall 51 . This makes it easier for the user to grasp the refill 0 to extract it from the support 5 .
  • FIG. 18 the contact between the cover 3 and the refill 0 can be seen clearly, which causes the refill 0 to be lifted.
  • the rear bearing face 27 of the hinge element 28 of the cover 3 comes to rest against the edge 18 of the rear element 17 of the refill 0 .
