Definitions

  • Container head having inclined faces
  • the present invention relates to devices for packaging and applying a cosmetic, make up or care, product, comprising, in a known manner, a container containing the product and, optionally, a pump.
  • a cosmetic product is a product as defined in Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 of the European Parliament and Council of 30 November 2009 relating to cosmetic products.
  • a difficulty which arises with devices for packaging and applying a cosmetic product is that of completely emptying the device.
  • the device is a tube provided with a flip-top cap or a pump, product frequently remains at the head of the tube, and the consumer cannot remove this product.
  • the quality of emptying of the container can depend on its shape. For example, if the container comprises a shoulder, it can be expected that the yield of product will be lower than if it did not have one. The product will be more difficult to remove since the consumer will find it hard to squeeze the walls at the edges of the shoulder without breaking the device. In addition, the shoulder provides numerous corners for trapping and retaining the product.
  • the invention aims to meet this need and achieves this by virtue of a container head, of longitudinal axis X, comprising:
  • a body designed to come partially into contact with at least one internal wall of the container
  • the body comprising two faces that are inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis X of the head.
  • the container is notably a tube.
  • the yield of the device is increased. There is no loss of product, the container head filling the gaps.
  • the body of the container head will fill the space between the pump and the walls of the container. This filled space does not contain product.
  • the consumer can compress the upper part of the container between two fingers at the inclined faces. At the end of compression, the wall of the container is in contact with the inclined faces. These stop the compression. They avoid damage to the dip tube and the pump body, while allowing optimal emptying of the container.
  • Another subject of the invention is a device comprising:
  • the device comprises:
  • the device comprises a flip-top cap.
  • a further subject of the invention is a method for manufacturing a device comprising a pump body and a push button, this method comprising:
  • the term “container” denotes a container having deformable walls.
  • deformable wall denotes a wall, the Shore A hardness of which is notably less than 40, preferably between 1 and 30.
  • a material that is deformable to the touch can be chosen for example from among the elastomers polystyrene -b-poly(ethylene-butylene)-b-polystyrene (SEBS), polystyrene -b-polybutadiene-b-polystyrene (SBS), thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), vulcanized olefmic TPE (TPO), styrenic TPE (TPS), non-vulcanized olefmic TPE (TPV), ethylene propylene diene (EPDM), Santoprene® or rubber.
  • SEBS polystyrene -b-poly(ethylene-butylene)-b-polystyrene
  • SBS polystyrene -b-polybutadiene-b-polystyrene
  • TPE thermoplastic elastomers
  • TPO vulcanized olefmic TPE
  • TPS
  • An “inclined face” is a surface, the axis of which intersects the longitudinal axis of the head.
  • the axis of the inclined surface intersects the longitudinal axis of the head at a point situated inside the container.
  • the "axis of an inclined face” separates this face into two symmetrical parts. It may have any shape. It may for example describe a straight line or a curve.
  • the "longitudinal axis" of the head is the axis which extends along the greatest length of the head.
  • a “face” denotes a part of a surface that is separated from the other parts by an edge or a fillet.
  • the head according to the invention may comprise one or more of the following features, taken separately or in any technically possible combination(s):
  • the head comprises a portion that defines a space for receiving a push button or a flip-top cap
  • the body and the portion defining a passage for receiving a pump body.
  • Each face is inclined with respect to the axis X by an angle of between 60° and 120°, preferably between 80° and 100°.
  • Each face is inclined with respect to the axis X by an angle equal to 45°.
  • the two faces are connected by a chamfer or by a fillet.
  • the head equips a container having deformable walls.
  • the head is obtained by plastics injection moulding.
  • the container is a tube.
  • FIG. 1 shows a front view of a head according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows an isometric view of the head in Figure 1 ,
  • FIG. 5 shows a cross section through a tube according to the invention equipped with a flip-top cap.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show a container head 1 comprising: - a passage 2 for receiving a pump body 11 ,
  • the body 3 comprises:
  • the two faces 4 and 5 are connected together by a fillet 7. They could also be connected together by:
  • each face 4 and 5 is in the form of a bevel which is inclined at an angle of 45° with respect to the longitudinal axis X of the head.
  • the angle a between the two faces is 90°.
  • the two faces 4 and 5 are directed towards one another. They converge towards the bottom of the container 14. They are symmetrical with respect to the median plane M.
  • the faces 4 and 5 could be slightly concave or convex.
  • the head 1 can be produced in one piece by injection-moulding thermoplastic material, for example a polyolefm or a polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
  • thermoplastic material for example a polyolefm or a polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
  • the head 1 externally has a surface 50 which is substantially in the shape of a triangular prism interrupted by the cylindrical wall 40. It is composed of the faces 4 and 5 and of the fillet 7, the chamfer 6 or the sharp edge 8.
  • Figure 3 shows the portion 30 of the head in Figures 1 and 2.
  • the portion 30 comprises:
  • the portion 30 can comprise an additional skirt for indexing the position of the push button.
  • Figure 4 shows a device comprising: - a container head 1 ,
  • a container 14 comprising a wall 9 having an internal surface 24, - a closure lid 15.
  • the pump body 11 is assembled on the container head 1. It passes through the hollow shaft 35.
  • the push button 12 is snap-fastened onto the stem of the pump body 11.
  • the body 3 is in contact with the walls of the container 1 at the cylindrical walls 40 thereof.
  • the inclined faces 4 and 5 of the body 3 are at a distance from the walls of the container 1.
  • the portions 30 can be produced with a shoulder 60 that makes it easier to lift the lid 15. At its perimeter, it may have a bead 61 so as to reinforce the holding of the lid 15 on the device. It may also comprise an annular groove 62.
  • the dispensing orifice of the push button is off-centre relative to the axis X.
  • the consumer removes the lid 15.
  • the container 14 When she presses the push button 12, this causes the actuation of the pump and the discharge of product through the dispensing orifice.
  • the container 14 When the container 14 is virtually empty, the residual cosmetic product is located mainly at the bottom of the container 14.
  • the container head 1 By virtue of the particular shape of the container head 1 according to the invention, the product cannot stick in the upper part of the container. This is because the body 3 entirely fills the residual space after maximum deformation of the container 14 by the consumer at the end of use of the pump tube. This filled space no longer contains product, and this has the effect of increasing the yield of the latter.
  • FIG. 5 shows a walled tube 14 equipped with a tube head 1 according to the invention and a flip-top cap 16.
  • the flip-top cap 16 is made up of:
  • the container head 1 may have any other shape.
  • the dispensing orifice may be positioned somewhere other than the push button 12.
  • the container 14 may be formed for example by a tube.
  • the head 1 may be produced with a different cross section, for example an oval or elliptical cross section.
