PACKAGING DEVICE FOR COSMETIC PRODUCT

The invention relates to a packaging device for cosmetic product, in particular for a cosmetic product in solid or pasty form, that is to say one which does not spread in the open air, such as lipstick, balm lipstick, blush or eyeshadow and foundation.

Known from the state of the art packaging devices for cosmetic product, in particular for lip balm, comprising a base, a cover and an intermediate part intended to receive the cosmetic product, the intermediate part being mounted not movable relative to the base. In this type of device, the opening is made by unscrewing or unclipping the cover relative to the base.

There are also known from the state of the art packaging devices for lipsticks, the opening of the device being made by the tilting of a first part around an axis of rotation, this first part interlocking or being completely clipping inside a second part to reveal the product in the open position of the device. However, in this type of known device, the product is intended to be mobile around the axis of rotation of the first part, which can make application difficult because of the constant movement of the cosmetic product.

In view of the state of the art, it is advantageous to propose a device for packaging a cosmetic product which, on the one hand, provides for an opening by tilting a cover inside the base of the device and which , on the other hand, provides for the presence of an intermediate piece mounted not movable on the base of the housing.

One of the objectives of the invention therefore consists in proposing a packaging device whose intermediate part, on which the cosmetic product is worn, is mounted non-movable relative to the base of the device, while allowing the device to be opened by tilting.

Another objective of the invention consists in proposing a variant for securing the intermediate part to the base.

Thus, the invention relates to a packaging device for a cosmetic product, in particular for a solid or pasty cosmetic product, comprising a base, an intermediate piece and a cover, the intermediate piece being mounted in the base and the cover being mounted articulated on the piece. intermediate so as to be able to occupy two positions, a first position, called closing, in which the base and the cover define between them a substantially closed space and a second position, called opening, in which the cover is retracted to the inside the base.

According to the invention, the base comprises at least two male attachment means - reciprocally female - intended to cooperate with at least two female attachment means - reciprocally male - provided on the intermediate piece, so that the intermediate piece is integral of the base in the closed and open positions of the device.

According to the invention, the cover is configured to tilt according to a rotational movement around an axis (R) of rotation defined by the at least two attachment means.

According to the invention, the intermediate piece is intended to carry the cosmetic product and to make it accessible in the open position of the device, the at least two attachment means provided on the intermediate piece being designed so as to ensure the setting in position and holding in position of the intermediate part in the base on the one hand, and to ensure the tilting of the cover around said axis of rotation (R) on the other hand, thus allowing the passage from the open position to the closed position of the device, and vice versa.

The invention thus makes it possible to offer a packaging device for cosmetic product, the opening of which is effected by tilting the cover, so that the latter can be housed inside the base of the device without, however, causing the intermediate piece, in which the cosmetic product is molded, during this tilting step.

The invention also makes it possible to ensure the stability of the intermediate piece on the base of the packaging device, while allowing the hood to tilt within the base when the packaging device is opened.

In the following description, elements and components having a structure or identical, analogous or similar functions will be designated by the same references.

In the following description, we will adopt by convention and without limitation, longitudinal, vertical, transverse orientations with reference to the trihedron (L, V, T) represented in FIG. 1A for all the figures. The vertical direction is used as a geometric reference not related to the direction of Earth's gravity. The axis of rotation (R) is horizontal in the longitudinal direction L.

By convention, the longitudinal and transverse orientations are fixedly determined with respect to the base of the device so that the open or closed position of the device has no effect on said orientations.

The terms “left” and “right” with reference to the longitudinal orientation will also be used without limitation, as well as “upper” and “lower” or “up” and “down” with reference to the vertical orientation and finally “front” and “rear” with reference to the transverse orientation, the front of the device having a gripping hook.

The terms “interior” or “exterior” and “internal” or “external” are respectively used with respect to the device in general and very particularly with respect to the intermediate piece and to the base of the device, in particular for designate an element located either inside or outside the intermediate piece or the base.

Although more particularly intended for the application of lipstick or lip balm, the invention may also be used for any other type of cosmetic product which can be used in solid or pasty form, that is to say which does not spread in the open air, in particular blush or eyeshadow, foundation, perfume or deodorant or antiperspirant products.

The invention relates to a packaging device 10 for cosmetic product, in particular for solid or pasty cosmetic product P, comprising, arranged vertically from bottom to top, a base 20, an intermediate piece 30 and a cover 40, the intermediate piece 30 being mounted. in the base 20 and the cover 40 being mounted articulated on the intermediate piece 30 so as to be able to occupy two positions, a first position, called closing position as illustrated in FIGS. 1A to 1C, in which the base 20 and the cover 40 define between them a substantially closed space and a second position, called the opening position as illustrated in FIGS. 2A to 2C, in which the cover 40 is retracted inside the base 20.

Preferably, the device 10 is of substantially spherical shape. In a variant not shown, the device according to the invention can take a substantially cylindrical shape with rounded, egg-shaped, oval or similar surfaces.

The base 20, illustrated in FIG. 3A, is made of plastic material chosen in particular from the group comprising acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polypropylene (PP) or styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN). The base is made by molding.

The base 20 has substantially the shape of a hollow hemisphere and has an outer face 21 and an inner face 22. Advantageously, the inner face 22 is smooth. The outer face 21 can be smooth or can include reliefs. The external face can also be decorated, that is to say that it can include elements for personalizing the device.

Along the vertical axis V, the base 20 has a first upper end 23 of the base 20. This end or upper face 23 of the base 20 is open so as to receive the intermediate part 30.

In addition, near the upper end 23 of the base 20 and more particularly on the inner face 22 of this upper end 23 of the base 20, there is a groove 24 designed so as to receive the intermediate piece 30. We find this groove 24 over substantially the entire circumference of the base 20. The width of the groove 24, along the vertical axis V, is adapted to correspond to the width of a rim 31 of the intermediate piece 30.

Along the vertical axis V, the base 20 also has a second lower end 25 of the base 20 allowing the device 10 according to the invention to be grasped when applying makeup, the lower end 25 of the base 20 further comprising a structure 26 designed so as to allow the stable positioning of the device 10 on a complementary surface, for example a flat surface, in particular a make-up artist, a table, a counter.

The base 20 comprises at least two male attachment means 27 intended to cooperate with at least two female attachment means 38 provided on the intermediate piece 30, so that the intermediate piece 30 is integral with the base 20 in the positions of closing and opening of the device

10.

As illustrated in FIGS. 3A and 3B, each of the two male attachment means 27 located on the base 20 comprises on the one hand, a centralizer 28 and, on the other hand, housings 29, lateral to the centralizer 28.

The two male attachment means 27 are positioned substantially at the level of the groove 24. In other words, the two male attachment means 27 are located at the interior face 22 of the upper end 23 of the base.

20.

The centralizer 28 is intended to be housed in a recess 38-3 cut from the material of a head 38-1 of the female attachment means 38 of the intermediate piece 30 so as to ensure the positioning of the intermediate piece 30 on the base 20. The centralizer 28 can take any form complementary to the shape of the recess 38-3. Thus, the technical form of the centering device 28 is adapted so that it can be inserted or accommodated in the corresponding form of the recess 38-3. Advantageously, the technical form of the centering device 28, and consequently of the recess 38-3, is not of revolution so as to avoid any rotation of the intermediate piece 30 relative to the base 20. More particularly, the centering device 28 may take a polygonal shape, in particular a substantially square, rectangular, triangular shape. Thus, the different sides created by the numerous angles in these polygons allow the non-rotation of the intermediate piece 30 relative to the base 20.

As for them, the lateral housings 29 have a shape complementary to that of the tongues 38-2 of the female attachment means 38 of the intermediate piece 30 so that the housings 29 and the tongues 38-2 cooperate together to hold the intermediate piece 30 in position in base 20.

The non-revolution form of the centering device 28 and the presence of the lateral housings 29 at the level of the base 20 allow - when they cooperate respectively with the recess 38-3 and the tongues 38-2 of the intermediate piece 30 - to avoid any rotation of the intermediate piece 30 relative to the base 20.

In a variant not shown, each of the two attachment means 27 located on the base 20 is a female attachment means intended to cooperate with two male attachment means provided on the intermediate piece 30, so that the intermediate piece 30 is secured to the base 20 in the closed and open positions of the device 10.

According to the trihedron (L, V, T) represented in FIG. 1B, the two attachment means 27 are arranged longitudinally to the left and to the right relative to the base 20 of the device 10. Thus, the two attachment means 27 are positioned opposite each other longitudinally, diametrically opposite.

As illustrated in FIGS. 1B, 2A and 2B, the device 10 comprises an intermediate piece 30 intended to carry the cosmetic product P and to make it accessible in the open position of the device 10.

The intermediate piece 30 is made of plastic material chosen in particular from the group comprising acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polypropylene (PP) or styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN). The intermediate part 30 is produced by molding.

As illustrated in FIGS. 4A to 4D, the intermediate piece has a rim 31 and the rim 31 includes an outer face 32 and an inner face 33.

The intermediate piece 30 has the shape of a wheel.

The intermediate piece 30 includes a plurality of spokes 34 which extend from a hub 35 to end at the inner face 33 of the rim 31.

The spokes 34 extend from the hub 35 at equal angles to connect to the inner face 33 of the rim 31.

The width of the spokes 34 and the diameter of the hub 35 are chosen so as to create an appropriate zone 36 on which the cosmetic product P is here poured. This zone 36 on which the cosmetic product is poured, is circular when the device is substantially spherical. This zone 36 thus comprises a lower face 36-1 and an upper face 36-2.

The cosmetic product P is advantageously poured upside down over the area 36 of the intermediate piece 30, that is to say it is poured from the lower face 36-1 to the upper face 36-2 of zone 36, using a hot-poured casting technique.

Thus the presence of gaps 37 between the spokes 34 allows the passage of the cosmetic product P and the spokes 34 allow the cosmetic product P to be fixed to the intermediate piece 30.

In addition, along the vertical axis V, the zone 36 delimited by the rim 31 is recessed with respect to the height of the rim 31. The zone 36 is located at mid-height of the rim 31. As for it, the hub 35, is raised along the vertical axis Y, that is to say that in side view as illustrated in FIG. 4A, it protrudes beyond an upper end of the rim 31 so stabilizing the cosmetic product P cast.

As a variant, according to an embodiment not shown, the cosmetic product P can be poured via the upper face 37 of the zone 36 of the intermediate piece 30. In this case, the zone 36 delimited by the rim 31 can be full, c that is to say not having spokes 34. To fix and stabilize the cosmetic product P cast, small notches are then present around the inner face 33 of the rim 31.

The intermediate piece further comprises at least two attachment means 38 located on the outer face of the rim 31. The two attachment means 38 provided on the intermediate piece 30 are designed so as to ensure positioning and maintenance in position of the intermediate part 30 in the base 20 on the one hand, and to ensure the tilting of the cover 40 around the axis of rotation (R) on the other hand, thus allowing the passage from the open position in the closed position of the device 10, and vice versa.

Each of the two attachment means 38 provided on the intermediate piece 30 is a female attachment means. In another embodiment not shown, each of the two attachment means 38 provided on the intermediate piece 30 may be a male attachment means.

As illustrated more particularly in FIGS. 4B and 4D, each of the two female attachment means 38 provided on the intermediate piece 30 has a head 38-1 and two tabs 38-2 located on either side of the head 38 -1, as well as a recess 38-3 cut from the material of the head 38-1. The recess 38-3 is configured to receive one of the two male attachment means 27 of the base 20, and more particularly the centralizer 28 of the male attachment means 27.

The head 38-1 of the two attachment means 38 provided on the intermediate piece 30 has a rounded shape.

The two female attachment means 38 provided on the intermediate piece 30 have a shape of omega (Ω).

The head 38-1 of the two attachment means 38 provided on the intermediate piece 30 has a thickness, measured along the longitudinal axis L, sufficient to allow the passage of the cover 40.

The thickness of the cover 40 allows the latter to tilt in a rotational movement around an axis (R) of rotation defined by at least two attachment means 38 located at the intermediate piece 30. More particularly, the tilting by rotation is done via the head 38-1 of the attachment means 38 so that the cover 40 can be received in the base 20 of the device 10.

According to the trihedron (L, V, T) represented in FIG. 1B, the two attachment means 38 are arranged longitudinally to the left and to the right with respect to the intermediate piece 20 of the device 10, as are the attachment means 27 relative to the base 20. The two attachment means 38 are thus positioned opposite one another longitudinally, diametrically opposite.

Aesthetically, the tongues 38-2 and the corresponding lateral housings 29 are invisible to the eye of the user when using the cosmetic product P, because they are hidden in the base 20 of the device 10.

As illustrated in FIGS. 1A and 2A, the device 10 comprises a cover 40 mounted articulated on the intermediate piece so as to occupy two positions, a first position, called the closing position, in which the base and the cover define a substantially closed space between them. and a second position, called the opening position, in which the cover is retracted inside the base.

The cover 40 is made of plastic chosen in particular from the group comprising acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polypropylene (PP) or styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN). The cover 40 is produced by molding.

As illustrated in FIGS. 5A to 5C, the cover 40 has substantially the shape of a hollow hemisphere and has an external face 41 and an internal face 42. Advantageously, the internal face 42 of the cover 40 is smooth. The internal face 42 is devoid of relief so as not to damage the surface of the cosmetic product poured and housed inside in the closed position of the device 10.

The outer face 41 can be smooth or can include reliefs. The external face can also be decorated, that is to say that it can include elements for personalizing the device.

Along the vertical axis V, the cover 40 has a first end, called the upper end 43 of the cover 40. This upper end 43 of the cover 40 is closed.

Along the vertical axis V, the cover 40 has a second end, called the lower end 44 of the cover 40. This lower end of the cover 44 is open so as to be able to cover and protect the cosmetic product P in the device closed position .

Near the lower end 44 of the cover 40 and more particularly on the outer front face 41 of this lower end 44 of the cover 40, there is a gripping means 45 designed to allow the handling of the cover 40 so as to pass it from its open position to its closed position, and vice versa. This gripping means 45 here takes the form of a front hook. The gripping hook is supported on the base 20, the hook being able to serve as a stop to block the travel of the cover 40 in the closed position as in the open position, by contact with an edge of the base 20 .

The cover 40 is configured to tilt according to a rotational movement about an axis (R) of rotation defined by at least two attachment means 38 located on the intermediate piece. More particularly, the tilting by rotation is done via the head 38-1 of the attachment means 38 so that the cover 40 can be received in the base 20 of the device 10.

The cover comprises two connection zones 46. The two connection zones 46 located on the cover 40 each have a shape complementary to that of the head 38-1 of the female attachment means 38 located at the level of the intermediate piece 30, of so as to ensure the articulation of the cover 40 on the intermediate piece 30 and to allow the tilting of the cover 40 from the closed position to the open position, and vice versa.

Furthermore, the particular shape of the attachment means 38, that is to say the shape of omega (Ω), assists in the assembly of the cover 40 on the attachment means 38 of the intermediate piece 30. The form of omega thus reduces the risk of rupture of the end of the connection zones 46 located on the cover 40 during the insertion of the attachment means 38 into the connection zones 46, while allowing the articulation of the cover 40 on the intermediate part 30, thanks to the rounded shape of the head 38-1 which conforms to the complementary shape of the connection zones 46 of the cover 40.

According to the trihedron (L, V, T) represented in FIG. 1B, the two connecting zones 46 are arranged longitudinally to the left and to the right relative to the cover 40 of the device 10, as are the male attachment means 27 by relative to the base 20 and the female attachment means 38 relative to the intermediate piece 30. Thus, the two connecting zones 46 are positioned opposite one another longitudinally, diametrically opposite. Way to

0 gripping 45 is arranged perpendicular to one or the other of the two connecting zones 46 on the cover.
