Abstract

The invention relates to a container for packaging a cosmetic product, comprising a refill vessel (1) arranged in a covering pot (2) comprising a cavity (24) formed so as not to pass right through the thickness of the neck (22), the cavity opening onto the opening of the pot and having an upper abutment edge (2410) extending in a first circumferential direction (Dlock). The vessel (1) comprises a grippable tab (13) extending in parallel with the side wall (11), the contour of the tab having a bearing surface extending in said first circumferential direction (Dlock). The tab can be accommodated and slid in the cavity (24) between a locked position and a released position by rotating the vessel. In the locked position, said upper abutment edge is flush with the bearing surface (130), preventing movement of the tab in an axial extraction direction (Dextract), and, in the released position, said bearing surface is opposite the opening of the cavity.

Description

DESCRIPTION DESCRIPTION
TITRE DE L’INVENTION : RECIPIENT DE CONDITIONNEMENT D’UN PRODUIT COSMETIQUE, ET RECHARGE ASSOCIEE TITLE OF THE INVENTION: PACKAGING CONTAINER FOR A COSMETIC PRODUCT, AND ASSOCIATED REFILL
Domaine technique Technical area
La présente invention concerne le domaine des récipients de conditionnement de produit cosmétique rechargeable, et plus particulièrement des récipients formés d’un pot d’habillage dans lequel est logé un récipient amovible faisant office de recharge. The present invention relates to the field of refillable cosmetic product packaging containers, and more particularly containers formed of a trim pot in which is housed a removable container acting as a refill.
Technique antérieure Prior technique
Dans le domaine des cosmétiques, pour répondre aux contraintes esthétiques, écologiques et économiques, il est connu de proposer un récipient de conditionnement constitué par deux récipients distincts, à savoir un pot d’habillage esthétique de fabrication généralement plus coûteuse et une recharge plus sobre. La recharge est un récipient contenant le produit cosmétique et est logée de manière amovible dans le pot. Ainsi, il est possible de recharger le pot d’habillage en remplaçant simplement le récipient amovible vide. In the field of cosmetics, in order to meet aesthetic, ecological and economic constraints, it is known to propose a packaging container consisting of two separate containers, namely an aesthetic dressing pot which is generally more expensive to manufacture and a more sober refill. The refill is a container containing the cosmetic product and is removably housed in the jar. Thus, it is possible to refill the dressing pot by simply replacing the empty removable container.
Le pot d'habillage et la recharge peuvent être fabriqués dans des matériaux différents verre, plastique ou encore papier, la combinaison la plus usitée restant celle d’une recharge en plastique associée à un pot d’habillage en verre. The dressing jar and the refill can be made of different materials: glass, plastic or even paper, the most common combination being that of a plastic refill associated with a glass dressing jar.
Par ailleurs, pour sécuriser la recharge au pot d’habillage, il est courant de prévoir des moyens dits de verrouillage de la recharge au pot, de manière à empêcher l’extraction non souhaitée de la recharge lorsque la recharge est logée dans le pot d’habillage. Ces moyens de verrouillage peuvent par exemple être sous la forme d’un système de clipsage ou de butées formé par des ergots et/ou des évidements intégrés au pot et à la recharge. Furthermore, to secure the refill to the trim pot, it is common practice to provide so-called means for locking the refill to the pot, so as to prevent unwanted extraction of the refill when the refill is housed in the trim pot. These locking means can for example be in the form of a clipping system or stops formed by lugs and/or recesses integrated into the pot and the refill.
L’intégration de ces moyens de verrouillage est rendue plus complexe dans le cas d’un pot d’habillage en verre qui, de par ses procédés de fabrication spécifiques, présente des tolérances dimensionnelles et géométriques importantes. En outre, les procédés de fabrication des pots en verre sont tels qu’il n’est généralement pas possible d’obtenir des arêtes et bords francs, mais plutôt des transitions douces, tels que des arrondis et des congés. On comprend donc que le verrouillage au moyen de butées à bord arrondie est moins efficace. The integration of these locking means is made more complex in the case of a glass covering jar which, due to its specific manufacturing processes, has significant dimensional and geometric tolerances. In addition, the manufacturing processes for glass jars are such that it is generally not possible to obtain sharp edges and edges, but rather smooth transitions, such as roundings and fillets. We therefore understand that the locking means of rounded edge stops is less efficient.
Par ailleurs, en ce qui concerne les pièces plastique obtenues par moulage, la présence sur la pièce moulée de formes en contre-dépouille, telles que des indentations, rétentions ou cavités d’arêtes franches qui s’opposent au démoulage direct de la pièce, nécessite l’utilisation d’un dispositif spécial pour pouvoir démouler la pièce sans dommage. De ce fait, on cherche généralement à concevoir des pièces exemptes de forme en contre-dépouille afin de faciliter le démoulage de la pièce, et donc de limiter les étapes de manipulation lors de la fabrication qui peuvent engendrer des coûts supplémentaires. Cette contrainte liée au démoulage limite la forme, le positionnement et l’orientation des indentations sur la pièce plastique. Furthermore, with regard to plastic parts obtained by molding, the presence on the molded part of undercut shapes, such as indentations, retentions or cavities of sharp edges which oppose the direct demolding of the part, requires the use of a special device to be able to demold the part without damage. As a result, it is generally sought to design parts that do not have an undercut shape in order to facilitate the demolding of the part, and therefore to limit the handling steps during manufacture which can generate additional costs. This constraint linked to demolding limits the shape, positioning and orientation of the indentations on the plastic part.
Ainsi, la conception des moyens de blocage d’une recharge dans un pot d’habillage nécessite donc de réaliser des compromis entre la fiabilité du système de blocage et les contraintes liées aux matières. Thus, the design of the means for blocking a refill in a cover pot therefore requires making compromises between the reliability of the blocking system and the constraints linked to the materials.
Le document FR 3 101 066 propose de solidariser un contenant interne en verre à un contenant externe également en verre au moyen d’un insert d’adaptation en plastique. En particulier, l’insert comprend un premier ensemble de moyen d’attache de l’insert au contenant interne et un deuxième ensemble de moyen d’attache de l’insert au contenant externe. Cette solution est bien entendu trop complexe puisqu’elle nécessite la réalisation d’une pluralité d’ergots sur l’insert, et une manipulation complexe de la part de l’utilisateur. Document FR 3 101 066 proposes securing an internal glass container to an external container also made of glass by means of a plastic adapter insert. In particular, the insert comprises a first set of means for attaching the insert to the inner container and a second set of means for attaching the insert to the outer container. This solution is of course too complex since it requires the production of a plurality of lugs on the insert, and complex manipulation on the part of the user.
Le document KR 10-2164827 décrit une recharge comprenant des languettes dont la surface intérieure est munie d’un ergot. Les languettes sont reçues dans des évidements externes du pot, ces évidements comprenant un organe de guidage en saillie pourvue d’une projection destinée à coopérer avec l’ergot de la recharge pour un effet anti-rotation. Comme expliqué précédemment, du fait de l’absence de bord franc, le déverrouillage non souhaité de la recharge lors de la manipulation du couvercle pour l’ouverture du pot est toujours possible. Cette configuration présente un risque de déverrouillage inopiné de la recharge lors de la manipulation du pot. The document KR 10-2164827 describes a refill comprising tabs whose inner surface is provided with a lug. The tabs are received in external recesses of the pot, these recesses comprising a projecting guide member provided with a projection intended to cooperate with the lug of the refill for an anti-rotation effect. As explained above, due to the absence of a clean edge, unwanted unlocking of the refill when handling the lid to open the jar is always possible. This configuration presents a risk of unexpected unlocking of the refill when handling the pot.
Exposé de l’invention Disclosure of Invention
L’objet de la présente invention vise donc à proposer un nouvel ensemble de conditionnement pour des produits, utilisable plus spécialement dans le domaine cosmétique mais aussi dans tout autre domaine. The object of the present invention therefore aims to propose a new set of packaging for products, usable more especially in the cosmetics field but also in any other field.
L’invention vise notamment à proposer une solution alternative de pot cosmétique rechargeable, de conception et de fabrication plus simple, intégrant des moyens de verrouillage de la recharge au pot d’habillage qui soient plus efficaces pour empêcher l’extraction inopinée de la cuve. The invention aims in particular to propose an alternative solution for a refillable cosmetic jar, of simpler design and manufacture, integrating means for locking the refill to the trim jar which are more effective in preventing inadvertent extraction of the tank.
L’invention propose notamment une solution dans laquelle les moyens de verrouillage sont plus fiables et adaptée pour le maintien d’un récipient de recharge dans un pot d’habillage en verre, la recharge pouvant être par exemple en verre, mais plus avantageusement en plastique ou encore à base de matériaux recyclés, sans complexifier les étapes de fabrication du pot et de la recharge. The invention in particular proposes a solution in which the locking means are more reliable and suitable for holding a refill container in a glass covering jar, the refill possibly being made of glass, for example, but more advantageously plastic or even based on recycled materials, without complicating the steps for manufacturing the jar and the refill.
L'invention a ainsi pour objet un récipient de conditionnement d’un produit de type cosmétique, comprenant au moins une cuve de recharge disposée de manière amovible dans un pot d’habillage. Le pot d’habillage est formé d’un corps délimitant un volume interne ouvert configuré pour loger la cuve. Le corps comprend un col sensiblement circulaire centré sur un axe central vertical et portant un moyen de fixation d’un couvercle. La cuve est formée d’un fond surmonté d’une paroi latérale délimitant un volume interne ouvert configuré notamment pour contenir le produit. The subject of the invention is thus a container for packaging a product of the cosmetic type, comprising at least one refill tank arranged in a removable manner in a covering pot. The covering pot is formed of a body delimiting an open internal volume configured to house the tank. The body comprises a substantially circular neck centered on a vertical central axis and carrying means for fixing a cover. The tank is formed of a bottom surmounted by a side wall delimiting an open internal volume configured in particular to contain the product.
Selon l’invention, le pot d’habillage comprend au moins une cavité creusée non- traversante dans l’épaisseur du col, la cavité débouchant sur le buvant du pot et présentant un bord supérieur de butée s’étendant dans une première direction circonférentielle autour de l’axe central vertical. According to the invention, the trim pot comprises at least one recess dug non-through the thickness of the neck, the cavity opening onto the rim of the pot and having an upper stop edge extending in a first circumferential direction around the vertical central axis.
Selon l’invention, la cuve comprend au moins une languette préhensible s’étendant du bord libre de la paroi latérale dans un plan circonférentiel sensiblement parallèle à la paroi latérale de la cuve, le contour de la languette dans le plan circonférentiel présente une portion s’étendant dans ladite première direction circonférentielle, ladite portion portant une surface d’appui. According to the invention, the tank comprises at least one gripping tab extending from the free edge of the side wall in a circumferential plane substantially parallel to the side wall of the tank, the contour of the tab in the circumferential plane has a portion extending in said first circumferential direction, said portion bearing a bearing surface.
La languette est configurée pour être reçue dans la cavité, notamment par insertion de la languette dans la cavité débouchant sur le buvant du pot, et pour coulisser dans la cavité entre une position verrouillée et une position déverrouillée par rotation de la cuve autour de l’axe central vertical. The tongue is configured to be received in the cavity, in particular by inserting the tongue into the cavity opening onto the rim of the pot, and to slide in the cavity between a locked position and an unlocked position by rotation of the tank around the central vertical axis.
En particulier : Especially :
- en position verrouillée, le bord supérieur de la cavité est à l’aplomb de la surface d’appui de la languette, empêchant un déplacement de la languette dans une direction verticale d’extraction sensiblement parallèle à l’axe central vertical ; et- in the locked position, the upper edge of the cavity is plumb with the support surface of the tongue, preventing movement of the tongue in a vertical direction of extraction substantially parallel to the vertical central axis; And
- en position déverrouillée, la surface d’appui de la languette est en regard de l’ouverture de la cavité formée dans le buvant, autorisant le déplacement de la languette dans la direction verticale d’extraction. - in the unlocked position, the tongue bearing surface faces the opening of the cavity formed in the rim, allowing the tongue to move in the vertical extraction direction.
En d’autres termes, le verrouillage dit « en translation » qui permet d’empêcher la cuve de se déplacer en translation, c’est-à-dire verticalement par rapport au pot d’habillage en position verrouillée, est obtenu par la combinaison du bord supérieur de la cavité et de la surface d’appui située formée par le contour de la languette. Le bord supérieur de la cavité et la surface d’appui formée sur le bord de la languette sont configurés de sorte qu’en position verrouillée, le bord supérieur de la cavité coopère avec la surface d’appui pour empêcher l’extraction verticale de la cuve du pot d’habillage. Le bord supérieur interne de la cavité fait donc office de butée pour la surface d’appui de la languette, bloquant tout déplacement de la languette dans la direction d’extraction de la cuve, opposée à une direction d’insertion de la cuve. In other words, the so-called "translational" locking which prevents the tank from moving in translation, i.e. vertically in relation to the casing pot in the locked position, is obtained by the combination of the upper edge of the cavity and the located bearing surface formed by the contour of the tongue. The upper edge of the cavity and the support surface formed on the edge of the tab are configured so that in the locked position, the upper edge of the cavity cooperates with the support surface to prevent the vertical extraction of the tank from the trim pot. The inner upper edge of the cavity therefore acts as a stop for the bearing surface of the tongue, blocking any movement of the tongue in the direction of extraction from the tank, opposite to a direction of insertion of the tank.
La surface d’appui n’est donc pas formée par une protubérance en saillie sur la surface de la languette mais par le contour de la languette, ce qui interdit un désengagement de la languette hors de son emplacement en position verrouillée. The bearing surface is therefore not formed by a protuberance projecting from the surface of the tongue but by the contour of the tongue, which prevents disengagement of the tongue from its location in the locked position.
De préférence, le passage de la position déverrouillée à la position verrouillée est obtenu par rotation de la cuve et donc de sa languette dans la cavité autour de l’axe vertical dans une direction de verrouillage correspondant à la première direction circonférentielle, et le passage de la position de verrouillage à la position de déverrouillage est obtenu par rotation de la cuve et donc de sa languette dans la cavité dans une direction de déverrouillage correspondant à une deuxième direction circonférentielle opposée à la première direction circonférentielle. Preferably, the passage from the unlocked position to the locked position is obtained by rotation of the bowl and therefore of its tongue in the cavity around the vertical axis in a locking direction corresponding to the first circumferential direction, and the passage from the locked position to the unlocked position is obtained by rotation of the bowl and therefore of its tongue in the cavity in an unlocking direction corresponding to a second circumferential direction opposite to the first circumferential direction.
En pratique, le blocage de la cuve dans le pot comprend successivement l’insertion de la languette dans la cavité via un déplacement en translation de la languette dans la direction d’insertion à partir de l’ouverture de la cavité débouchant sur le buvant du pot, puis le positionnement de la languette en mode verrouillée via un déplacement en rotation de la languette dans la première direction circonférentielle jusqu’à ladite position verrouillée, ce qui permet de bloquer l’extraction de la cuve. De ce fait, l’extraction de la cuve dans le pot comprend à l’inverse successivement un déplacement en rotation de la languette dans la deuxième direction circonférentielle pour faire passer la languette de la position verrouillée à la position déverrouillée, puis un déplacement en translation de la languette dans la direction d’extraction. In practice, the blocking of the tank in the pot successively comprises the insertion of the tongue into the cavity via a translational movement of the tongue in the direction of insertion from the opening of the cavity leading to the rim of the pot, then the positioning of the tongue in locked mode via a rotational movement of the tongue in the first circumferential direction to said locked position, which makes it possible to block the extraction of the tank. Therefore, the extraction of the tank in the pot comprises conversely successively a rotational movement of the tongue in the second circumferential direction to pass the tongue from the locked position to the unlocked position, then a translational movement of the tongue in the direction of extraction.
Selon un mode de réalisation : According to one embodiment:
- la languette comprend sur sa surface en regard de la paroi latérale de la cuve, un ergot en saillie s’étendant, par exemple de la portion portant la surface d’appui, dans la direction axiale ou verticale, et - the tongue comprises on its surface facing the side wall of the tank, a projecting lug extending, for example from the portion carrying the support surface, in the axial or vertical direction, and
- la cavité comprend un relief de retenue s’étendant, par exemple du bord supérieur de la cavité, dans la direction axiale ou verticale, et délimitant dans la cavité, de part et d’autre du relief de retenue dans la direction circonférentielle, une zone d’encliquetage et une zone de réception. the cavity comprises a retaining relief extending, for example from the upper edge of the cavity, in the axial or vertical direction, and delimiting in the cavity, on either side of the retaining relief in the circumferential direction, a latching zone and a reception zone.
Selon ce mode de réalisation, en position verrouillée, l’ergot est dans la zone d’encliquetage, et en position déverrouillée, l’ergot est dans la zone de réception. En d’autres termes, lors de la rotation de la cuve autour de l’axe vertical pour le passage entre les positions déverrouillée et verrouillée, l’ergot surmonte le relief de retenue pour être positionné dans la zone d’encliquetage ou dans la zone de réception. According to this embodiment, in the locked position, the lug is in the latching zone, and in the unlocked position, the lug is in the reception zone. In other words, during the rotation of the bowl around the vertical axis for the passage between the unlocked and locked positions, the lug overcomes the retaining relief to be positioned in the latching zone or in the reception zone.
En d’autres termes, le verrouillage dit « en rotation » qui permet d’empêcher la cuve de se déplacer en rotation par rapport au pot d’habillage autour de l’axe central vertical une fois en position verrouillée, est formé par la coopération de l’ergot et du relief de retenue. Lors du déplacement de la languette pour passer de la position déverrouillée à la position verrouillée, c’est-à-dire lors de la rotation de la languette dans la première direction de verrouillage, l’ergot surmonte le relief de retenue, et un encliquetage peut être obtenu. Dans cette position, le relief de retenue fait office de butée pour l’ergot, limitant ou empêchant la rotation de la languette dans la direction de déverrouillage. En pratique, la languette présente une certaine élasticité permettant à l’ergot de passer de la zone d’encliquetage à la zone de réception, et vice et versa, lors de la manipulation de la languette par l’utilisateur. La cavité est creusée non-traversante, c’est-à-dire qu’elle ne débouche pas dans le volume interne du pot. La cavité peut présenter un canal d’insertion débouchant sur le buvant du pot s’étendant sensiblement dans la direction axiale définie par l’axe centrale verticale, et un canal de coulissement s’étendant dans la direction circonférentielle, le canal de coulissement comprenant ledit bord supérieur de butée et le relief de retenue. Ainsi, la languette est insérée dans la cavité via le canal d’insertion. Le déplacement dans la direction d’insertion de la languette peut notamment être assuré par les bords du canal d’insertion. Une fois insérée, la languette peut être manipulée par l’utilisateur pour coulisser dans le canal de coulissement, guidée par la coopération du bord supérieur de butée de la cavité et de la surface d’appui de la languette. In other words, the so-called "rotational" locking which makes it possible to prevent the tank from moving in rotation relative to the trim pot around the vertical central axis once in the locked position, is formed by the cooperation of the lug and the retaining relief. When moving the tongue to pass from the unlocked position to the locked position, that is to say during the rotation of the tongue in the first locking direction, the lug overcomes the retaining relief, and a snap can be obtained. In this position, the retaining relief acts as a stop for the lug, limiting or preventing the rotation of the tab in the unlocking direction. In practice, the tongue has a certain elasticity allowing the lug to pass from the latching zone to the reception zone, and vice versa, when the user manipulates the tongue. The cavity is dug non-through, that is to say that it does not open into the internal volume of the pot. The cavity may have an insertion channel opening onto the rim of the pot extending substantially in the axial direction defined by the vertical central axis, and a sliding channel extending in the circumferential direction, the sliding channel comprising said upper abutment edge and the retaining relief. Thus, the tab is inserted into the cavity via the insertion channel. The movement in the direction of insertion of the tongue can in particular be ensured by the edges of the insertion channel. Once inserted, the tongue can be manipulated by the user to slide in the sliding channel, guided by the cooperation of the upper abutment edge of the cavity and the bearing surface of the tongue.
Selon un mode de réalisation, le bord supérieur de la cavité, c’est-à-dire le bord supérieur de butée, peut être configuré pour servir de surface de guidage pour le coulissement de la languette dans la cavité. According to one embodiment, the upper edge of the cavity, that is to say the upper abutment edge, can be configured to serve as a guide surface for the sliding of the tab in the cavity.
Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, le moyen de fixation du couvercle se présente sous la forme d’au moins un bourrelet ou d’un filet externe en saillie sur le col. According to a particular embodiment, the cover fixing means is in the form of at least one bead or an external thread projecting from the neck.
Dans ce cas, le bord supérieur de butée comprend au moins une portion du bourrelet ou du filet externe. In this case, the upper abutment edge comprises at least a portion of the bead or of the external thread.
En d’autres termes, le bord supérieur de butée est réalisé dans une portion du moyen de fixation du couvercle en saillie sur le col, de manière à profiter de l’épaisseur du bourrelet ou du filet externe qui offre ainsi une surface de butée plus large. Par exemple, le moyen de fixation du couvercle peut comprendre un filetage externe ou un ou plusieurs filets externes distincts, et le bord supérieur de butée peut être réalisé dans un des filets externes. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le moyen de fixation du couvercle peut comprendre un ou plusieurs bourrelets configurés pour fixer un couvercle au col du pot par clipsage, et le bord supérieur de butée peut être réalisé dans un de ces bourrelets. In other words, the upper abutment edge is made in a portion of the cover fixing means projecting on the neck, so as to take advantage of the thickness of the bead or the external thread which thus offers a wider abutment surface. For example, the cover fixing means may comprise an external thread or one or more separate external threads, and the upper abutment edge may be made in one of the external threads. According to another embodiment, the lid fixing means may comprise one or more beads configured to fix a lid to the neck of the pot by clipping, and the upper abutment edge can be made in one of these beads.
De préférence, l’épaisseur du bord supérieur dans la direction radiale, et donc la profondeur de la cavité, est dimensionnée pour assurer la fonction de butée pour la surface d’appui. Par exemple, l’épaisseur du bord supérieur peut être sensiblement égale à celle de la surface d’appui ou à celle de la languette. De préférence, la languette affleure la surface extérieure du col, ou les bords de la languette et ceux de la cavité sont affleurants. En pratique, le recouvrement de la surface externe de la languette par un ou plusieurs fïlet(s) inteme(s) du couvercle, combiné à la configuration du relief de retenue, maintiennent la languette dans la cavité et empêchent l’entrainement en rotation non souhaité de la languette vers sa position de déverrouillage lors de l’ouverture du pot. Preferably, the thickness of the upper edge in the radial direction, and therefore the depth of the cavity, is sized to ensure the abutment function for the bearing surface. For example, the thickness of the top edge can be substantially equal to that of the bearing surface or that of the tongue. Preferably, the tongue is flush with the outer surface of the neck, or the edges of the tongue and those of the cavity are flush. In practice, the covering of the outer surface of the tab by one or more inner thread(s) of the lid, combined with the configuration of the retaining relief, maintain the tab in the cavity and prevent the undesired rotational drive of the tab towards its unlocking position when opening the pot.
Avantageusement, la cuve comprend une collerette s’étendant radialement du bord libre de la paroi latérale, et comprenant une surface inférieure configurée pour venir en appui sur le bord libre du col du pot, ladite languette s’étendant de ladite collerette. Advantageously, the tank comprises a flange extending radially from the free edge of the side wall, and comprising a lower surface configured to bear against the free edge of the neck of the pot, said tongue extending from said flange.
Avantageusement, la languette présente une forme sensiblement en L, la base du L s’étendant dans la première direction circonférentielle et portant la surface d’appui. En pratique, la cavité présente une forme complémentaire à celle de la languette. Ainsi, en position de verrouillage, la languette ne recouvre aucun filet du pot lorsqu’ils sont présents. Advantageously, the tab has a substantially L-shape, the base of the L extending in the first circumferential direction and bearing the bearing surface. In practice, the cavity has a shape complementary to that of the tongue. Thus, in the locked position, the tab does not cover any threads of the pot when they are present.
En pratique, la cuve peut comprendre deux languettes et le pot peut comprendre deux cavités. In practice, the tank may include two tongues and the pot may include two cavities.
Selon une variante, le pot d’habillage est en verre. Dans ce cas, la cuve est avantageusement à base d’un matériau plastique. Selon une autre variante, le pot d’habillage est à base de matériau plastique et la cuve de recharge est à base d’un matériau plastique, similaire ou différent à celui du pot d’habillage. According to a variant, the dressing pot is made of glass. In this case, the tank is advantageously based on a plastic material. According to another variant, the trim pot is made of plastic material and the refill tank is made of a plastic material, similar or different to that of the trim pot.
Selon un mode de réalisation, le récipient de conditionnement comprend en outre un couvercle configuré pour être fixé au col du pot au moyen du système de fixation, le couvercle comprenant une jupe configurée pour recouvrir au moins la portion du col du pot contenant la cavité. De préférence, la paroi interne de la jupe ou au moins un élément de la paroi interne de la jupe, par exemple un filet, bloque tout mouvement de la languette dans la direction radiale lorsque le couvercle est complètement solidarisé au pot. La paroi interne de la jupe ou un élément de la paroi interne de la jupe peut être confïguré(e) pour exercer une force d’appui sur la surface de la languette. En d’autres termes, la languette est plaquée dans la cavité par le couvercle. Selon une variante, le couvercle est fixé au col du pot par vissage. Dans cette variante, lors de la fermeture du pot, la rotation du couvercle notamment dans le sens de verrouillage de la languette, peut légèrement entraîner la languette ce qui permet de s’assurer que la languette est en position verrouillée. Lors de l’ouverture du pot par dévissage du couvercle, du fait de l’appui du couvercle sur la languette, l’ergot ne peut surmonter le relief de retenue malgré un léger entraînement de la languette induit par le dévissage du couvercle, ce qui permet de s’assurer que la languette reste en position verrouillée. According to one embodiment, the packaging container further comprises a cover configured to be fixed to the neck of the pot by means of the fixing system, the cover comprising a skirt configured to cover at least the portion of the neck of the pot containing the cavity. Preferably, the internal wall of the skirt or at least one element of the internal wall of the skirt, for example a net, blocks any movement of the tab in the radial direction when the lid is completely secured to the pot. The inner wall of the skirt or an element of the inner wall of the skirt can be configured to exert a bearing force on the surface of the tongue. In other words, the tongue is pressed into the cavity by the lid. According to a variant, the lid is fixed to the neck of the pot by screwing. In this variant, when closing the jar, the rotation of the lid, in particular in the direction of locking of the tongue, can slightly drive the tongue, which makes it possible to ensure that the tongue is in the locked position. When opening the jar by unscrewing the lid, due to the support of the lid on the tongue, the lug cannot overcome the retaining relief despite a slight drive of the tongue induced by the unscrewing of the lid, which makes it possible to ensure that the tongue remains in the locked position.
L’invention a également pour objet une cuve de recharge destinée à être logée de manière amovible dans un pot d’habillage, ladite cuve de recharge étant formée d’un fond surmonté d’une paroi latérale délimitant un volume interne ouvert configuré pour contenir un produit de type cosmétique. Le bord libre de la paroi latérale étant circulaire centré sur un axe central vertical. The invention also relates to a refill tank intended to be removably housed in a trim pot, said refill tank being formed of a bottom surmounted by a side wall delimiting an open internal volume configured to contain a product of the cosmetic type. The free edge of the side wall being circular centered on a central vertical axis.
La cuve comprend en outre au moins une languette préhensible s’étendant du bord libre de la paroi latérale dans un plan circonférentiel sensiblement parallèle à la paroi latérale de la cuve, le contour de la languette dans le plan circonférentiel présente une portion s’étendant dans une première direction circonférentielle, ladite portion portant une surface d’appui configurée pour coopérer avec un bord supérieur d’une cavité creusée non-traversante dans le col du pot pour empêcher le déplacement de la cuve dans la direction axiale lorsque la cuve est logée dans le pot en position verrouillée. The tank further comprises at least one gripping tab extending from the free edge of the side wall in a circumferential plane substantially parallel to the side wall of the tank, the contour of the tab in the circumferential plane has a portion extending in a first circumferential direction, said portion carrying a bearing surface configured to cooperate with an upper edge of a hollow hollow cavity in the neck of the pot to prevent the tank from moving in the axial direction when the tank is housed in the pot in the locked position.
Selon un mode de réalisation, la languette comprend en outre sur sa surface en regard de la paroi latérale de la cuve, un ergot en saillie s’étendant de la portion portant la surface d’appui dans la direction axiale. L’ergot est configuré pour coopérer avec un relief de retenue contenu dans la cavité, l’ergot et le relief de retenue formant un moyen de verrouillage en rotation par encliquetage, empêchant le déplacement de la cuve autour de l’axe central vertical lorsque la cuve est logée dans le pot en position verrouillée. According to one embodiment, the tab further comprises on its surface facing the side wall of the tank, a projecting lug extending from the portion bearing the bearing surface in the axial direction. The lug is configured to cooperate with a retaining relief contained in the cavity, the lug and the retaining relief forming a locking means in rotation by snap-fastening, preventing the bowl from moving around the vertical central axis when the bowl is housed in the pot in the locked position.
Bien entendu, la recharge peut être couplée à un opercule ou tout autre moyen de fermeture ou de scellage de la recharge, de manière à protéger le produit cosmétique contenu dans la recharge de toute contamination. Brève description des dessins Of course, the refill can be coupled to a lid or any other means for closing or sealing the refill, so as to protect the cosmetic product contained in the refill from any contamination.

Description détaillée detailed description
Les éléments structurellement et fonctionnellement identiques présents sur plusieurs figures distinctes, sont affectés d’une même référence numérique ou alphanumérique . Structurally and functionally identical elements present in several separate figures are assigned the same numerical or alphanumeric reference.
Les éléments d’un récipient de conditionnement d’un produit de type cosmétique selon un mode de réalisation sont représentés sur la figure 1 , et se composent d’une cuve de recharge 1, d’un pot d’habillage 2 et d’un couvercle 3. The elements of a container for packaging a product of the cosmetic type according to one embodiment are shown in Figure 1, and consist of a refill tank 1, a covering pot 2 and a lid 3.
Le pot 2, avantageusement en verre, comprend un corps 20 délimitant un volume interne 21 ouvert configuré pour loger la cuve 1. Le corps 20 comprend sur une partie supérieure un col 22 sensiblement circulaire centré sur un axe central Z vertical et portant un système de fixation du couvercle au col 22 du pot, sous la forme par exemple d’un filetage externe, d’un ou de plusieurs filets, ou encore d’un ou de plusieurs bourrelets ou reliefs en saillie sur le col 22. Dans les modes de réalisation décrits ci-après et illustrés sur les figures, le système de fixation est sous la forme d’un filetage externe 23 formé d’une pluralité de filets 230 distincts. L’axe central Z vertical défini une direction axiale, une direction radiale R et une direction circonférentielle C sensiblement parallèle au col du pot. On définit également une direction d’insertion Dinsert parallèle à l’axe central Z et une direction d’extraction Dextract opposée à la direction d’insertion Dinsert, une direction de verrouillage Dlock parallèle à la direction circonférentielle C et une direction de déverrouillage Dopen opposée à la direction de verrouillage Dlock. The pot 2, advantageously made of glass, comprises a body 20 delimiting an open internal volume 21 configured to house the tank 1. The body 20 comprises on an upper part a substantially circular neck 22 centered on a vertical central axis Z and carrying a system for fixing the lid to the neck 22 of the pot, in the form for example of an external thread, one or more threads, or even one or more beads or reliefs projecting from the neck 22. In the embodiments described below and illustrated in the figures, the fastening system is in the form of an external thread 23 formed of a plurality of separate threads 230. The vertical central axis Z defines an axial direction, a radial direction R and a circumferential direction C substantially parallel to the neck of the pot. We also define a direction of insertion Dinsert parallel to the central axis Z and a direction of extraction Dextract opposite to the direction of insertion Dinsert, a direction of locking Dlock parallel to the circumferential direction C and a direction of unlocking Dopen opposite to the direction of locking Dlock.
Le pot d’habillage comprend deux cavités 24 diamétralement opposées dans la région du col 22 portant le filetage 23. Comme illustré plus en détail sur la figure 2, chaque cavité 24 est creusée non-traversante dans l’épaisseur du col 22. Chaque cavité 24 est formée d’un canal d’insertion 240 en communication avec un canal de coulissement 241. Le canal d’insertion 240 débouche sur le buvant 21 du pot, et s’étend sensiblement dans la direction axiale, et notamment dans la direction d’insertion Dinsert. Le canal de coulissement 241 s’étend du canal d’insertion 240 dans une direction circonférentielle, par exemple dans la direction de verrouillage Dlock. Le canal de coulissement 241 comprend ainsi un bord supérieur 2410 s’étendant d’un bord du canal d’insertion 240 dans la direction de verrouillage Dlock. Par exemple, la cavité 24 peut présenter une forme sensiblement en L, la base du L s’étendant dans la direction de verrouillage Dlock. The trim pot comprises two diametrically opposed cavities 24 in the region of the neck 22 carrying the thread 23. As illustrated in more detail in FIG. 2, each cavity 24 is hollowed out non-through the thickness of the neck 22. Each cavity 24 is formed by an insertion channel 240 in communication with a sliding channel 241. The insertion channel 240 opens onto the rim 21 of the pot, and extends substantially in the axial direction, and in particular in the direction of Dinsert insertion. The sliding channel 241 extends from the insertion channel 240 in a circumferential direction, for example in the locking direction Dlock. The sliding channel 241 thus comprises an upper edge 2410 extending from one edge of the insertion channel 240 in the locking direction Dlock. For example, cavity 24 may have a substantially L-shape, with the base of the L extending in the locking direction Dlock.
La cavité 24 comprend également un relief de retenue 25 sous la forme d’un segment en saillie sur la surface principale interne de la cavité 24, sensiblement parallèle à l’axe vertical Z. Comme illustré sur la figure 2, le relief peut s’étendre sur toute la hauteur du canal de coulissement 241, et peut également être aligné avec l’un des bords verticaux délimitant le canal d’insertion 240. Le relief de retenue 25 délimite notamment dans le canal de coulissement deux zones de part et d’autre du relief de retenue 25, à savoir une zone d’encliquetage 2411 et une zone de réception 2412. The cavity 24 also includes a retaining relief 25 in the form of a segment projecting from the internal main surface of the cavity 24, substantially parallel to the vertical axis Z. As illustrated in FIG. either side of the retaining relief 25, namely a latching zone 2411 and a reception zone 2412.
Dans le mode de réalisation illustré à la figure 2, la cavité 24 est réalisée dans le col 22 de telle manière que le bord supérieur 2410 du canal de coulissement 241 est formé par une portion d’un des filets 230 du filetage 23. Ainsi, dans la mesure où le filetage 23 externe comprend des filets 230 en saillie sur la surface du col 22 du pot 2, il est possible de creuser la cavité 24 de sorte que la paroi de la cavité 24 située au niveau de ce bord supérieur 2410 est plus large, c’est-à-dire plus haute, dans la direction radiale. On comprend donc que cette configuration permet d’avoir une surface de butée plus large et donc plus efficace. En outre, la hauteur du relief de retenue 25 dans la direction radiale est de préférence inférieure à celle des parois de la cavité 24. In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2, cavity 24 is made in neck 22 in such a way that upper edge 2410 of sliding channel 241 is formed by a portion of one of the threads 230 of thread 23. 24 located at this upper edge 2410 is wider, that is to say higher, in the radial direction. It is therefore understood that this configuration makes it possible to have a wider and therefore more effective abutment surface. Furthermore, the height of the retaining relief 25 in the radial direction is preferably less than that of the walls of the cavity 24.
La cuve de recharge 1, de préférence cylindrique, est formée d’un fond 10 surmonté d’une paroi latérale 11 délimitant un volume interne ouvert configuré pour contenir le produit cosmétique. La cuve 1 comprend une collerette 12 s’étendant radialement du bord libre de la cuve et comprenant une surface inférieure configurée pour venir en appui sur le bord libre du col 22 du pot 2. La cuve 1 comprend en outre deux languettes 13 préhensibles diamétralement opposées. Chaque languette 13 s’étend du bord libre de la collerette dans un plan circonférentiel sensiblement parallèle à la surface extérieure de la paroi latérale 11 de la cuve 1. En d’autres termes, la languette 13 est sensiblement plane et comprend une surface extérieure destinée à la préhension et une surface intérieure en regard de la surface extérieure de la paroi latérale. Chaque languette 13 est configurée pour être insérée dans une des cavités 24 et pour coulisser dans la cavité 24. Chaque languette 13 est de préférence de forme complémentaire à celle de la cavité 24. The refill tank 1, preferably cylindrical, is formed by a bottom 10 surmounted by a side wall 11 delimiting an open internal volume configured to contain the cosmetic product. The tank 1 comprises a flange 12 extending radially from the free edge of the tank and comprising a lower surface configured to bear against the free edge of the neck 22 of the pot 2. The tank 1 further comprises two diametrically opposed gripping tabs 13. Each tongue 13 extends from the free edge of the flange in a circumferential plane substantially parallel to the outer surface of the side wall 11 of the tank 1. In other words, the tongue 13 is substantially flat and comprises an outer surface intended for gripping and an inner surface facing the outer surface of the side wall. Each tab 13 is configured to be inserted into one of the cavities 24 and to slide in the cavity 24. Each tab 13 is preferably of complementary shape to that of the cavity 24.
La languette 13 illustrée à la figure 3 présente une forme sensiblement en L. La base du L s’étend de la partie verticale du L dans la direction de verrouillage, et porte une surface d’appui 130 (ou surface de verrouillage verticale) configurée pour venir en butée sur le bord supérieur 2410, plus particulièrement sur la surface de la paroi de la cavité portant ce bord supérieur 2410. La languette 13 comprend un ergot 131 en saillie sur sa surface en regard de la paroi latérale 11 de la cuve 1. L’ergot 131 est sous la forme d’un segment s’étendant sensiblement parallèlement à la direction axiale. L’ergot est de préférence positionné sur la base du L. The tongue 13 illustrated in FIG. 3 has a substantially L-shape. The base of the L extends from the vertical part of the L in the locking direction, and carries a support surface 130 (or vertical locking surface) configured to come into abutment on the upper edge 2410, more particularly on the surface of the wall of the cavity bearing this upper edge 2410. The tongue 13 comprises a lug 131 projecting from its surface facing the side wall 11 of tank 1. Pin 131 is in the form of a segment extending substantially parallel to the axial direction. The lug is preferably positioned on the base of the L.
En pratique, la cuve est de préférence en plastique, et chaque languette 13 est dimensionnée pour présenter une certaine élasticité dans la direction radiale, afin de permettre à l’ergot 131 de surmonter le relief de retenue 25, lors du verrouillage de la cuve au pot ou lors de son déverrouillage, comme il sera expliqué ci-après. In practice, the tank is preferably made of plastic, and each tab 13 is sized to have a certain elasticity in the radial direction, in order to allow the lug 131 to overcome the retaining relief 25, when locking the tank to the pot or when unlocking it, as will be explained below.
Chaque languette 13 est ainsi configurée pour être insérée dans une des cavités 24 et pour coulisser dans la cavité 24 entre une position déverrouillée (figure 4a et figure 4b) et une position verrouillée (figure 5 a et figure 5b) par rotation autour de l’axe central vertical Z. Each tongue 13 is thus configured to be inserted into one of the cavities 24 and to slide in the cavity 24 between an unlocked position (figure 4a and figure 4b) and a locked position (figure 5a and figure 5b) by rotation around the central vertical axis Z.
La cuve 1 est positionnée dans le pot 2 en insérant les languettes 13 dans les cavités 24 respectives. En particulier, chaque languette 13 est insérée dans la cavité 24 par glissement dans la direction d’insertion Dinsert de la languette via l’ouverture de la cavité sur le buvant, c’est-à-dire via le canal d’insertion jusqu’au canal de coulissement. La course de la cuve dans la direction d’insertion Dinsert est arrêtée lorsque la collerette repose sur le col du pot ou qu’une surface inférieure de la languette repose sur une paroi inférieure de la cavité. Comme illustré sur la figure 4a et la figure 4b, dans cette position déverrouillée, l’ergot 131 de la languette 13 se situe au niveau de la zone de réception 2412. The tank 1 is positioned in the pot 2 by inserting the tongues 13 into the respective cavities 24. In particular, each tongue 13 is inserted into the cavity 24 by sliding in the direction of insertion Dinsert of the tongue via the opening of the cavity on the rim, that is to say via the insertion channel as far as the sliding channel. The stroke of the bowl in the direction of Dinsert insertion is stopped when the flange rests on the neck of the pot or a lower surface of the tab rests on a lower wall of the cavity. As illustrated in Figure 4a and Figure 4b, in this unlocked position, the lug 131 of the tongue 13 is located at the level of the reception zone 2412.
Pour passer de la position déverrouillée à la position verrouillée illustrée à la figure 5a et à la figure 5b, l’utilisateur, via les languettes 13 de préhension, fait pivoter la cuve 1 dans le pot 2 dans la direction de verrouillage. Le pivotement de la cuve 1 s’accompagne du coulissement de chaque languette 13 dans la cavité 24 correspondante, guidée par la surface du bord supérieur 2410 de la cavité, jusqu’à ce que l’ergot 131 surmonte le relief de retenue 25 et passe dans la zone d’encliquetage 2411. En pratique, la languette est avantageusement en matière plastique autorisant une déformation élastique pour permettre à l’ergot de surmonter le relief de retenue. La course de la languette dans la direction de verrouillage est limitée par la dimension du canal d’encliquetage, de sorte que la languette vient également en butée contre une portion de paroi de la cavité. Par ailleurs, la cavité est de préférence creusée de manière que la surface externe de la languette 13 affleure la surface externe du col du pot. En d’autres termes, la languette n’est pas en surépaisseur par rapport à la surface du col. En outre, la languette ne recouvre pas le filetage du col. To move from the unlocked position to the locked position illustrated in Figure 5a and Figure 5b, the user, via the gripping tabs 13, rotates the tank 1 in the pot 2 in the locking direction. The pivoting of the tank 1 is accompanied by the sliding of each tongue 13 in the corresponding cavity 24, guided by the surface of the upper edge 2410 of the cavity, until the lug 131 overcomes the retaining relief 25 and passes into the latching zone 2411. In practice, the tongue is advantageously made of plastic material allowing an elastic deformation to allow the lug to overcome the retaining relief. The travel of the tongue in the locking direction is limited by the dimension of the latching channel, so that the tongue also comes into abutment against a wall portion of the cavity. Furthermore, the cavity is preferably dug so that the outer surface of the tongue 13 is flush with the outer surface of the neck of the pot. In other words, the tongue is not extra thick in relation to the surface of the collar. Also, the tongue does not cover the neck thread.
Ainsi, l’ergot 131 et le relief de retenue 25 forment des moyens de verrouillage en rotation de la cuve, et leur coopération permet d’empêcher le déplacement de la cuve dans la direction de déverrouillage Dlock. En particulier, lors de la fermeture du pot avec le couvercle 3 qui comprend un filetage interne 31 complémentaire au filetage du pot, l’utilisateur positionne le couvercle sur le col et tourne le couvercle dans la direction de verrouillage Dlock, généralement dans le sens horaire, et le couvercle recouvre le col du pot et donc les languettes 13 de la cuve. Comme illustré aux figures 6 et 7, en position fermée, une portion du filetage interne 31 du couvercle est positionnée en contact, ou au moins au plus proche, de la surface externe de la languette 13, empêchant ainsi tout déplacement des languettes 13 dans la direction radiale. Lors de l’ouverture du pot, l’utilisateur tourne le couvercle 3 dans la direction de déverrouillage Dopen, généralement dans le sens antihoraire. Le couvercle 3 recouvrant les languettes 13, le couvercle 3 participe à empêcher les languettes de se déplacer dans la direction radiale lors de l’ouverture du pot, et participe donc à empêcher chaque ergot de surmonter le relief de retenue 25. Comme illustré à la figure 7, le filetage interne 30 maintient la languette 13 dans la cavité et empêche l’ergot 131 de surmonter le relief de retenue 25. Ainsi, la cuve est maintenue verrouillée en rotation même lors de l’ouverture du pot. Thus, the lug 131 and the retaining relief 25 form means for locking the bowl in rotation, and their cooperation makes it possible to prevent the bowl from moving in the unlocking direction Dlock. In particular, when closing the pot with the lid 3 which includes an internal thread 31 complementary to the thread of the pot, the user positions the lid on the neck and turns the lid in the Dlock locking direction, generally clockwise, and the lid covers the neck of the pot and therefore the tabs 13 of the tank. As illustrated in Figures 6 and 7, in the closed position, a portion of the thread internal 31 of the cover is positioned in contact, or at least as close as possible, to the outer surface of the tongue 13, thus preventing any displacement of the tongues 13 in the radial direction. When opening the jar, the user turns the lid 3 in the Doopen unlock direction, usually counterclockwise. The lid 3 covering the tongues 13, the lid 3 participates in preventing the tongues from moving in the radial direction when the pot is opened, and therefore participates in preventing each lug from overcoming the retaining relief 25. As illustrated in FIG.
En outre, en position verrouillée, la surface d’appui 130 de la languette 13 est en butée sur la surface du bord supérieur 2410 de la cavité, la surface d’appui 130 et le bord supérieur 2410 forment des moyens de verrouillage en translation de la cuve. En d’autres termes, ces moyens de verrouillage en translation empêchent une extraction non souhaitée de la cuve du pot. Par ailleurs, le bord supérieur 2410 peut être configuré pour former un moyen de guidage du coulissement de la languette. In addition, in the locked position, the support surface 130 of the tongue 13 abuts on the surface of the upper edge 2410 of the cavity, the support surface 130 and the upper edge 2410 form means for locking the tank in translation. In other words, these translational locking means prevent undesired extraction of the vessel from the pot. Furthermore, the upper edge 2410 can be configured to form a means for guiding the sliding of the tab.
Le verrouillage en rotation et en translation de la cuve au pot est ainsi amélioré malgré les tolérances dimensionnelles et géométrique et l’absence de bords francs due aux contraintes liées au procédé de fabrication des pots en verre. Les formes des cavités et des languettes ne sont pas limitées aux formes décrit ci-avant, et d’autres formes sont envisageables tant que les languettes et les cavités intègrent les moyens de verrouillage décrit ci-avant. Locking in rotation and in translation of the tank to the jar is thus improved despite the dimensional and geometric tolerances and the absence of sharp edges due to the constraints linked to the manufacturing process of the glass jars. The shapes of the cavities and the tongues are not limited to the shapes described above, and other shapes are possible as long as the tongues and the cavities incorporate the locking means described above.
En pratique, en fonction des dimensions de la cuve et du pot d’habillage, le bord supérieur interne 2410 de la cavité peut s’étendre sur quelques centimètres ou quelques millimètres dans la direction circonférentielle, par exemple entre 5 et 20 mm, le relief de retenue 25 peut être en saillie de 2 à 15 mm dans la cavité, et s’étendre sur 5-30 mm dans la direction axiale. La zone d’encliquetage 2411 peut s’étendre sur 2-50 mm dans la direction circonférentielle et la zone de réception 2410 peut s’étendre sur 2-30 mm dans la direction circonférentielle. La languette étant complémentaire à la cavité, elle présente des dimensions sensiblement similaires. In practice, depending on the dimensions of the tank and the trim pot, the inner upper edge 2410 of the cavity may extend over a few centimeters or a few millimeters in the circumferential direction, for example between 5 and 20 mm, the retaining relief 25 may project from 2 to 15 mm into the cavity, and extend over 5-30 mm in the axial direction. The snap zone 2411 can extend 2-50mm in the circumferential direction and the receiving zone 2410 can extend 2-30mm in the circumferential direction. Since the tongue is complementary to the cavity, it has substantially similar dimensions.
