Description

DISPENSING DEVICE FOR SAMPLES OF COSMETIC PRODUCTS

DESCRIPTION

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a device for dispensing samples of cosmetic products for lip, face and eyes, whose purpose is to allow the application of certain cosmetic products in a completely hygienic way.

The object of the invention is to provide a device that is applicable to any conventional lipstick and conventional lipstick and eyes, so that it can be tested by a variety of potential teeth without any risk of contagion between them.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Currently in the cosmetics market, each brand makes available to the teeth at the points of sale, testers of cosmetic products, in order to convince the possible teeth for purchase based on a free trial of the product.

Thus, testers allow tester customers the cosmetic product to choose the one that best suits them.

In the case of conventional lipstick, and other containers for facial, lip and eye application, the situation is the same.

Consequently, each brand has in its exhibitor / stand all the products offered by the brand, products that are made available to the consumer who manipulates and tests them. Obviously this practice is a real problem of hygiene and risk of contamination.

More specifically, this type of practice can lead to the spread of herpes as well as a multitude of bacteria.

This implies the direct rejection by certain clients, with the consequent loss of sales and bad image, or that it is applied on the hand, result that has nothing to do with the final appearance that the product applied on the area in the area would have. which is intended to be applied, maintaining the problem from the point of view of hygiene.

The present invention responds to a demand of the clients and allows to solve their hygiene concerns in a simple and effective way giving confidence and tranquility.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The device for dispensing cosmetic products for application of the lip and eyes that is recommended solves in a fully satisfactory way the problem described above, based on a simple but effective solution, being applicable to any lipstick existing in the market, whether in the form of bar, or pencil, allowing you to test any existing product, with total hygiene guarantee.

For this, the device of the invention is constituted from a housing, in whose upper zone a series of guides are established, materialized in one or more main grooves, laterally to which complementary grooves are established in which different types of lipsticks or lipsticks and eyes.

More specifically, it is envisaged that a ring will be attached to conventional lipsticks or pencils that impede their extraction, and that it is displaced along said guides. In this way, and as stated before, in the lateral grooves of the main groove lipsticks or pencils of different colors will be arranged, in order that the users can choose a bar or pencil of the color that most interests them, so that they simply have to select said bar or pencil, and move it along the main slot to the front end of said main slot. Corresponding to the front end of said main groove, and under it, a clamp is established that blocks the lower body of the pentabios, which facilitates the work of turning its handle, to extract the actual bar contained within it.

Inside this area of the housing is a roll loader of pre-cut labels of satin material, such as plastic, paper or other similar material.

The user will pull the test sheet, so that its displacement causes the impregnation of the sheet longitudinally, thus obtaining a single-use sample.

The tray will have a series of stops that prevent its total extraction, as well as its proper positioning once closed.

Thus, once the sample is obtained, the user must turn the handle of the pentabios in the opposite direction, to retract the paint bar, and move said lipstick through the guiding means to one of the lateral grooves provided in the device.

From the sample obtained, the user can apply this product directly on her lips, with a finger, or apply it on the skin of the hand, as she prefers, all with 100% safety from the hygienic point of view.

The device thus described is equally applicable to eye and lip pencils, so that said pen will be linked, analogously to the previously described pentaiabios, a ring that prevents its extraction and guided to the test area, with the particularity of that in said test area the horizontal guide provided for said pencil will have a vertical path, in order to be able to move said pencil in a lower direction until it comes into contact with the test sheet or label, its upper path being limited to prevent its robbery maintaining the hygiene of the corresponding pencil. This vertical play configuration imitated in the guiding means for the pencil ring could also occur in one of the lateral grooves, preferably the closest to the test area, so that a pencil sharpener is established at the bottom of it. allow sharpening the eyeliner and lips.

In order to optimize the consumption of said pencil, it is provided that the ring is fixed thereto at its upper end, so that the assembly is complemented by a tubular element that sometimes acts as a handle.

In a variant embodiment, the main housing is selectively movable with respect to a "test zone", or vice versa, so that said housing may have a circular configuration, with one or more concentric rings in which different cosmetic products are established. or have an elongated configuration, in that the packages are aligned longitudinally, and in which the container to be chosen can selectively face the test area.

In this way, users can choose the bar or container of cosmetic product that most interests them, so that they simply have to select said bar or container, and move the test area, or where appropriate, the carrier housing of said bar until it faces the test area.

In the test area, a groove is defined that faces the groove in which the container whose content is to be tested is established, so that there is a continuity between grooves that allows the container to slide towards the test area. Said test area may be in front, behind or even below the disposal area of the containers.

Similarly to the previously described variants of embodiment, a pre-cut label roll loader is established inside this test zone, or said labels can be stored in prismatic blocks or mallets.

Also similarly, the user will pull the test sheet, so that the movement itself causes the impregnation of the sheet longitudinally, thus obtaining a single-use sample, impregnation that could be carried also carried out in the opposite way, that is, by the effect of the movement of the container itself along the test sheet.

For this special housing configuration, several solutions are also provided for the way of application of the product on the test sheet.

In the same way as in the first type of housing provided, in a variant embodiment, it is provided that a ring that prevents its extraction is fitted to the lipsticks, and that it is movable along the said guides .

Corresponding to the front end of said main groove, and under it, a clamp or retaining element is established that blocks the lower body of the lipstick, which facilitates the work of turning its handle, to extract the bar itself. within it.

In another variant embodiment, the body of the lipstick in addition to preventing its removal by the inclusion of said ring, could be assisted by a cogwheel that engages in a rack established in the groove that is established in the test area, so that the simple displacement from the main housing towards the test area of the chosen lipstick would cause its extraction, until it is pressed against the test sheet, so that the collection maneuver towards the main housing of said bar causes the collection of the same avoiding so that it dries, all of it completely automatically, without having to rotate the body of the lipstick as is conventional, maneuver that is responsible for the zipper itself associated with the groove of the test area. This mechanism could be replaced by any mechanical means that facilitates the rotation of the lipstick, such as a silicone strip that rubs on the corresponding area to rotate it and, when backing, makes it hide.

This same mechanism would serve to apply in containers, in order to allow temporarily removing its lid, which would be associated with the corresponding gearwheel, the guide means of said container presenting a certain vertical clearance, which allow the container to approximate the sheet of test and reposition it in the area where the detached lid is left, for new bonding. Another variant embodiment contemplates that the guiding means have a small vertical play downwards, assisted by a spring means, in order that the displacements of the containers do not stain more than one sheet of evidence in their use.

When the test area is arranged internally, it is possible that the lipstick or container are fixed in the housing in the horizontal plane, being only displaced in the lower direction.

By means of springs or any other elastic means, it is pressed on the bar to a stop area where the bar is turned so that it reaches the test label and obtain a test point, after which the label with the sample is removed.

In such a case, the lipstick or container can always be deployed or deployed and folded by manual rotation of the same by the user, or even incorporate some type of mechanism that automatically rotates it, through a helical guide in which they would play one or more solidary teats to the lipstick body.

This elastic retraction solution by means of a spring or the like would also be applicable to the variant of the packages described above.

From this structuring, the following advantages are achieved:

● It allows to offer a dispenser that adapts to any type of conventional lipstick or conventional lip and eye pencils, as well as other containers.

● The device remains closed and is accessible only to the personnel of the establishment.

It allows to offer a guarantee of 100% hygiene to the clients, since the clients cannot touch the product directly with their lips and eyes.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION N

In view of the figures outlined, it can be seen how the device of the invention is constituted from a housing (1), in whose upper area a series of guides are established, materialized in a main slot determining a horizontal guide (2) and longitudinally, laterally to which complementary grooves (3) are established in which lipsticks (4) of different colors are arranged.

As can be seen in figure 3, the lipsticks (4) are fixed with a ring (5) that prevents their extraction, and that is movable along the mentioned guides. The device can be loaded with lipsticks (4) through a door (6) to access the main groove, with its corresponding lock or closing means that prevent the removal of said bars. In accordance with that shown in Figure 4, in correspondence with the front end (7) of said main groove, and under it, a clamp (8) is established that blocks the lower body (9) of the lipstick, which facilitates the work of turning its handle (10), to extract the bar (11) itself contained within it.

Inside this area of the housing, a roll (12) of pre-sealed labels (13) of glossy paper, plastic or other appropriate material is established.

As stated previously, once the bar (1 1) has been removed until it comes into contact with the label (13), the traction of said label causes the impregnation (14) thereof longitudinally, thus obtaining a Sample for your single use application.

The labels (13) will be extracted through a slot (15), equipped with cutting means (16) at its exit.

According to the embodiment variant of Figures 5 and 6, the device is equally applicable to lipsticks and eyes (17) and the like, so that said pencil will be linked, analogously to the lipstick described above, a ring (5) that is fixed to its upper extremity, which prevents its extraction and allows its guidance towards the test area, assisted by a tubular element (10 ') in handle functions, in order to be able to take full advantage of said pencil.

In this case, the horizontal guide (2) in the test zone or front end (7) will have a vertical path, in order to be able to move said pencil in a lower direction until it comes into contact with the test sheet or label ( 13), its upper travel being limited to prevent its theft.

This limited vertical play configuration in the guiding means for the ring (5) of the pencil (17) could also occur in one of the lateral grooves (3, 3 '), as shown in Figure 4, so that in the bottom of it is established a pencil sharpener that allows sharpening said pencil (17).

In a variant embodiment, the one shown in Figure 7, the main housing (101) is selectively displaced with respect to a test area (103), or vice versa, of so that said housing may have a circular configuration, such as that shown in Figure 7, with one or more concentric rings in which different ruthless cosmetic products are established on guides, or have an elongated configuration, that shown in Figure 9, in which the containers are aligned longitudinally, and in which the container (104) to be chosen can selectively face the test area (103).

In the test area (103) a groove (103 ') is defined which is selectively facing the groove (102) in which the container (104) is set whose content is to be tested, defining a continuity between grooves that allows sliding from the container or lipstick to the test area.

A roll loader (112) of pre-cut labels (113) of satin material, such as plastic, paper or other similar material, is established in said test zone, or said labels can be stored in interlocking prismatic blocks or mallets or associated with any existing means of dispensing in the market.

From this structuring, and as previously mentioned, the user will pull the test sheet or label (113), so that the displacement of the same causes the impregnation of the sheet longitudinally, thus obtaining a single use sample or the displacement of the container (104) that causes the longitudinal impregnation of the sheet, without affecting the essence of the invention.

Once the sample has been extracted, the user can apply said product directly to her Sages, eyes or face, in a totally safe way from a hygienic point of view.

Tai and as mentioned previously, several solutions are planned when applying the product on the test sheet.

In a variant embodiment, the one shown in figure 9, and according to the section of figure 4, the lipsticks (104 ') are fixed with a ring (105) that prevents their extraction, and which is displaced to throughout the mentioned guides.

Corresponding to the front end of the groove (103 ') of the test area (103) and under it, a clamp (108) is established that blocks the lower body (109) of the bar of lips (104 '), which facilitates the work of turning its handle (110), to extract the bar (11) itself contained within it.

Inside this area of the housing a roll (112) of pre-cut labels (113) of glossy paper, plastic or other appropriate material is established,

As stated previously, once the bar (111) has been removed until it comes into contact with the label (113), the traction of said label causes the impregnation of the same longitudinally, thus obtaining a sample for its application single use

The labels (113) will be extracted through a slot (115), provided with cutting means (1 18) at its exit.

According to the embodiment variant of Figures 1 1 and 12, the test zone (103 ") could be arranged internally to the housing (101 ') so that it is not necessary to move the containers or lipsticks (104') but that these simply move vertically against the tension of a spring (1 17) that rests on a guide or stop (108 ') so that by providing the test area (103 ”) under them, it is possible to impregnate the sheet test (1 13) by pressing the container (104) and fractionating said test sheet, its upper path being limited by the ring (105) to prevent its theft.

The lipstick or container (104, 104 ”) can always be deployed or unfolded and folded by manual rotation of the same by the user, or even incorporate some type of mechanism that would automatically rotate, through a helical guide in which they would play one or more lugs in solidarity with the body of the lipstick.

In a variant embodiment, the one shown in figures 13 and 14, the flexible container (104 ") in addition to incorporating the aforementioned ring (105) for the same guidance purpose, it is provided that its cover (104 '" ) is associated with a gear wheel (118) that engages in a rack (119) established in correspondence with the groove (103 ') that is established in the test area, so that the simple movement from the main housing to the area of test causes the rotation of said cover (104 '”) until it is detached, an area in which the guide (103') undergoes a double bend in order to save the plug and access until area in which the labels or test sheets (113) are located, allowing the applicator of the flexible container (104 ") to be pressed against the test sheet, so that the collection maneuver towards the main housing of said container forces to pass through the screw-in area of the lid, so that this maneuver is done completely automatically.

This mechanism could also be applied to lipsticks, specifically to their mechanism of extraction and collection thereof. It only remains to point out finally that, the test area and the examples shown have a unitary character and move it with respect to the main housing to minimize costs, although the main housing could have a test zone associated with each container contained in the same.
