CONNECTOR PACKING

Field of the Invention

[001] The present invention relates to a type of packaging for products from various industrial sectors such as Cosmetic, Perfumery, Personal Care, Pharmaceutical, Stationery, Household Cleaning, Cleaning Chemicals. , etc. Each connector pack has two types of connectors for connecting one or two packs simultaneously and complementary. Multiple connections can be made provided that the criteria of practicality, fit and stability are met. The package may be used, transported and purchased in a unitary manner or coupled to one or more units. The packaging has a safe, practical, stable and hygienic fit.

[002] The package has a connection mode that is intended to facilitate the storage, transportation, purchase and application of products, especially miniature or small size products. The connection of the package does not hinder its individual use and allows the isolated use of the product contained in it.

The invention is characterized by joining packages containing products in the various states of matter: liquid, semi-solid or pasty, solid and gaseous.

The present invention preferably relates to packages that accommodate small quantities of products in a simple package that can be easily produced on an industrial scale. [005] The invention is also characterized in that it allows the fast and easy fitting of the packages, allowing convenience of transport, use and customization by the user.

State of the Art

[006] The first multifunctional sets as disclosed in US Pat. No. D311787 is a bottle divided into two equal chambers. The bottle has two projecting nozzles respectively in the two chambers. Two plugs cover the two nozzles respectively. The two chambers are respectively filled with two types of cosmetics. However, both nozzles startle.

[007] Another US Pat. No. 6,726,016 discloses an oppositely disposed two-body container assembly. The two container bodies can be pushed to slide in reverse directions to expose their nozzles and facilitate fragrance spraying through the container body. The bodies are designed to accommodate different perfume bottles respectively. Also, users can replace the perfume bottles in the set of their own accord.

[008] US2523683 - The present invention relates to crayons, and more particularly to lipsticks, in which a crayon-shaped body is inserted into a same container where they can be fed by use. It has become common practice to have a lipstick mounted on a suitable base in the same unit within a container. Means were provided for propulsion and retraction during the use of lipstick. Such a device is in use and has generally become quite desirable to have performed in a single container for plurality of lipsticks of different shapes, colors or consistencies, so that the user can have a choice of lipsticks for various occasions.

According to the invention, there is provided a plastic box in which a plurality of tubular liquid cosmetic containers are used. It is a main object of the present invention to provide a convenient method for dispensing liquid cosmetics from a plurality of cosmetic containers.

[010] US22279596 - In the present invention, the interior of the outer tube is provided with an oblique guide surface. Both sides of the inner tube seat are each provided with a movable element. Thus, this seat, while the inner tube is inserting into the outer tube, the V-shaped protrusion of the moving element can closely contact the oblique guide surface. In addition, each of the moving elements is wrapped with a containment seat that receives the lipstick. Therefore, the present invention provides two lipstick colors in a single case in which it is easy and convenient to use to take off.

[01 1] This invention claims the benefit and priority of US Provisional Application n ^and 61 / 929.038, the invention is designed as a compact portable makeup in which the user can store various makeup products and makeup tools in one unit.

[012] Another commercially available product is a mini-packaging kit specifically for gloss-type cosmetics, interchangeable with each other through a single set, marketed by Granado Pharmácias. In this invention, each gloss unit has to be stored and transported in the set because there is no individual cover (the base of one unit serves as the next unit cover).

Background of the Invention

[013] Invention characterized by allowing an immediate link between the items involved or a "hold" connection option.

The present invention arises for the purpose of respect for the consumer, allowing free choice of products that can be purchased individually. Acquisition is permitted from the option of "waiting" connection for a second product or set of individual products, respecting the individuality of personality of each user and their condition of financial acquisition.

[015] For manufacturers, especially those in the Cosmetic sector, it makes it easier to dare in colors and textures due to the fact that only what you want and not a set of products will actually be bought. The environment will also benefit from a reduction in the use of raw materials for the same purpose, encouraging the use of refills, a decrease in electricity and water for manufacturing, and a reduction in discarded packaging of products that did not need to be included. produced because they were not used.

[016] The connector package may snap together packages of the same, similar products and / or packages of different industrial segments. For example, you can attach a lipstick package to a package of another lipstick (Cosmetic Packaging with Cosmetic Packaging). Can connect lipstick packaging to sunscreen packaging (cosmetic product packaging with product packaging pharmaceutical). You can connect a perfume packaging to an alcohol gel packaging (Perfumery Product Packaging with Household Product Packaging). You can connect a box of a USB stick to a pen box (computer electronics package with stationery package). You can connect a stain remover product package to a baby food (cleaning chemical package with electrostatic cleaning product packaging), etc.

[017] The "standby" connection option provides possible fittings that will be available and must not interfere with the individual use of the product, in order not to induce the consumer to buy a product he does not want.

[018] The "standby" connection option is especially useful and important for miniature or small size products so that they are easily carried and applied, avoid loss, and enable ease of purchase of one or more products and prevent the product has expired by the excess quantity in the purchase of so-called conventional products.

[019] Invention is characterized by providing Mechanical Interlock Connection, Magnetic Connection and / or a combination of fittings.

[020] A retractable and / or propulsion system with thread, semi thread, pin, spring, lock or other may be enclosed in the package for semi-solid products that do not require an applicator attachment to prevent product damage and exposure. for the application. [021] Other options may also be considered for connection between packages such as an inner thread on the base and an outer thread on the lid.

Summary of the Invention

[022] The main object of the present invention is to provide a connection for a plurality of packaging for various sectors, initially for use in the cosmetic sector, which can be easily and conveniently transported and used.

[023] Packages can be used individually or connected with other units and can even be disconnected from a set when the user needs or desires. (Personalization).

[024] Another object of the present invention is to provide a tubular structure with multiform section.

[025] For the best purpose of using this type of packaging, it is proposed to continue to be used as replacement modules and may only replace the product, disregarding the total or partial use of a refillable packaging and thus reducing waste. of discarded materials and minimized environmental pollution.

[026] The invention enables the combination of connector packaging according to the need and choice of products by the user (Customization of purchase and use).

[027] Another object of the present invention is to provide a viable and practical way to purchase, transport and apply consumer products. Other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[030] The present invention provides an elongated, coaxially aligned module socket structure which enables a tubular, preferably cylindrical, structure (Fig. 2).

[031] Invention is characterized by allowing individual use of the product, (Fig.1). For this, each package must have its own lid so that when insulated (without connection to another) the product is not exposed to contamination or subject to leakage as in the case of liquid products.

[032] Packaging is divided into base, lid and connectors. In the lid and base there is a connector for connection with one or two packages, so that the connector package has two connectors simultaneously (Fig. 5 and Fig. 6). [033] The base is the part in which the product is housed in a cavity, and may also contain a type of accessory for application of the product. The base is the opposite part of the lid, (Fig. 5 / A and 5 / B).

[034] A socket (female), internal thread, or grooves, or magnet, or any adjustment may be considered to bring safety and stability in connection with other connector packaging, (Fig. 7 / B);

[035] A cover for overlapping the base of the connector packaging, with the function of protection and hygiene of the packaged product, having its dimension proportional and appropriate to the type and state of stored product;

[036] The cover is located at the opposite end to the base and may receive various types of accessories for use with the product. The lid should ideally be transparent or have a transparent display to enable product display, except where stored products have light sensitivity and should be made of durable material (Fig. 6 / A and 6 / B).

[037] The cover may have a shoulder or recess in the outer position to allow it to fit with other modules, so that when the modules are connected there is stability.

[038] For connection of packages one may have a shoulder or recess in the outer portion for the lid and a cavity for the base. The shoulder "male connection" and the cavity "female connection" must be simultaneously in the same package to enable connections with other connector packages (Fig. 7 / A and 7 / B). [039] The connector packaging shall be of a tough polymeric material, metal, wood and others, having sufficient rigidity to withstand pressure exerted by a user through the various connections and disconnects to be made.

[040] The connector packaging can be tubular with a multiform section, which consists of the coupling of several modules of various products for general use. Initially for cosmetic area and preferably for use in small quantities.

[041] Attachment of articulating means for joining the lid with the base. The individual cap for each connector package can be secured to its own base by a Flip system pedicle. This pedicle serves to prevent cap loss, especially in small quantity products (Fig. 2 / A).

[042] A retractable system at the base may be required so that the cover does not interfere with the exposure of products and / or accessories for application.

Thus, the most important features of the invention have been very broadly delineated so that its detailed description can be understood and that the present contribution to the art can be appreciated. There are, of course, additional features of the invention which will be described below and which will form the object in the appended claims.

[044] Initially in order to introduce and enable the application of the connector package, connectors can be adapted to existing packaging by transforming a standard package into "Connector Packaging".
