Abstract
Description
La présente invention a trait à un boítier, destiné à être utilisé notamment pour le conditionnement d'un produit de maquillage, sous forme d'une poudre ou d'un compact. A titre d'exemple, un tel boítier peut être utilisé pour le conditionnement d'un blush, d'un fard à paupières ou d'un fard à joues.The present invention relates to a housing, intended to be used in particular for the packaging of a makeup product, in the form of a powder or a compact. For example, such a case can be used for packaging a blush, an eyeshadow or a blush.
Dans l'industrie cosmétique, et plus particulièrement dans la grande distribution, les produits de maquillage sont conditionnés sous blisters transparents, lesquels sont suspendus sur un support généralement métallique. Un meuble présentoir vertical contenant toute une gamme de produits, permet à la cliente d'effectuer directement son choix et son achat. Le choix est toutefois rendu parfois difficile en raison du grand nombre de produits exposés.In the cosmetics industry, and more particularly in mass distribution, the makeup products are packaged in transparent blisters, which are suspended on a generally metallic support. A display cabinet vertical containing a whole range of products, allows the client to carry out directly his choice and his purchase. The choice is however sometimes made difficult by because of the large number of products on display.
Il a été proposé de disposer de tels produits de maquillage dans des boítiers dont une partie au moins, notamment le couvercle, est transparent. Une telle possibilité n'est cependant pas applicable de manière aisée et économique pour tous les produits d'une gamme. La présentation du boítier avec le couvercle ouvert à 180° par rapport au fond, pose un problème d'encombrement.It has been proposed to have such makeup products in housings including at least part, in particular the cover, is transparent. Such a possibility however, is not easily and economically applicable for all products of a range. The presentation of the case with the lid open at 180 ° compared to the bottom, poses a problem of space.
De la demande de brevet FR-A-2 651 975, il est connu de réaliser un boítier incluant un fond et un couvercle. Le couvercle est relié à une pièce de liaison par une première articulation autour d'un premier axe. La pièce de liaison est elle même reliée au fond par une seconde articulation autour d'un second axe parallèle au premier. Une telle disposition permet, en position ouverte, de disposer le couvercle dans son intégralité sous le fond. Une telle conception souffre toutefois d'un inconvénient majeur, lié en particulier à sa complexité de montage, à sa fragilité, et à son coût. En effet, une telle conception nécessite l'utilisation d'au moins cinq pièces distinctes : un fond, un couvercle, un organe de liaison, et deux axes d'articulation. From patent application FR-A-2 651 975, it is known to produce a housing including bottom and cover. The cover is connected to a connecting piece by a first articulation around a first axis. Is the connecting piece even connected to the bottom by a second articulation around a second axis parallel to the first. Such an arrangement allows, in the open position, to have the entire cover under the bottom. Such a design suffers however, a major drawback, linked in particular to its assembly complexity, to its fragility, and to its cost. Indeed, such a design requires the use at least five separate parts: a bottom, a cover, a connecting member, and two axes of articulation.
Le document US-A-3 741 430 décrit un boítier comprenant un fond, et un couvercle monté directement sur le fond autour d'un axe de pivot. Dans une des variantes envisagées par ce document, le couvercle peut, en position ouverte, être glissé sous le fond. Selon cette variante, en raison du montage direct du couvercle sur le fond via des "tétons" portés par le fond du boítier, et pouvant se déplacer dans des glissières correspondantes formées par le couvercle, la gestuelle est relativement compliquée, aussi bien à l'ouverture qu'à la fermeture, les deux mouvements de pivot, et de déplacement axial devant nécessairement se produire de manière simultanée et combinée.Document US-A-3,741,430 describes a case comprising a bottom, and a cover mounted directly on the bottom around a pivot axis. In one of variants envisaged by this document, the cover can, in the open position, be slid under the bottom. According to this variant, due to the direct mounting of the cover on the bottom via "nipples" carried by the bottom of the case, and which can be move in corresponding slides formed by the cover, the gesture is relatively complicated, both when opening and closing, the two pivot movements, and of axial displacement necessarily in front occur simultaneously and combined.
Le brevet US-A-5 353 947 décrit également un boítier du type comprenant un couvercle monté directement sur un fond via un axe d'articulation. Après avoir fait pivoté le couvercle par rapport au fond, autour de l'axe d'articulation, de manière à orienter le couvercle et le fond à 180° l'un par rapport à l'autre, le couvercle est déplacé sous le fond en faisant coulisser les "tétons" définissant l'axe d'articulation dans des glissières correspondantes ménagées dans le couvercle. La présence des glissières dans le couvercle, requiert l'utilisation d'au moins un moule plus coûteux pour la réalisation d'un tel boítier. En outre, la gestuelle est plus contraignante.US-A-5,353,947 also describes a housing of the type comprising a cover mounted directly on a bottom via a hinge pin. After having done pivoted the cover relative to the bottom, around the axis of articulation, so as to orient the cover and the bottom 180 ° to each other, the cover is moved under the bottom by sliding the "nipples" defining the axis of articulation in corresponding slides arranged in the cover. The presence of the slides in the cover requires the use of at least one more expensive mold for the realization of such a housing. In addition, the gestures are more restrictive.
Aussi, est-ce un des objets de l'invention que de réaliser un boítier du type mentionné précédemment, et résolvant en tout ou partie les problèmes discutés en référence aux dispositifs conventionnels.Also, is it an object of the invention to make a case of the type mentioned above, and solving all or part of the problems discussed with reference to conventional devices.
C'est en particulier un objet de l'invention que de fournir un boítier qui permette, en position ouverte, de positionner le couvercle sous le fond, et qui soit simple à réaliser, robuste, et économique.It is in particular an object of the invention to provide a housing which allows, in the open position, to position the cover under the bottom, and which is simple to realize, robust, and economical.
D'autres objets encore apparaítront dans la description détaillée qui suit.Still other objects will appear in the detailed description which follows.
Selon l'invention, ces objets sont atteints en réalisant un boítier comportant un fond et un couvercle apte à recouvrir de manière réversible ledit fond, ledit couvercle étant monté sur le fond de manière à, en position ouverte, pouvoir se positionner sous ledit fond, caractérisé en ce que le couvercle est monté coulissant sur un organe de liaison articulé sur ledit fond. De préférence, l'organe de liaison est articulé autour d'un axe Y, perpendiculaire à un axe X du boítier, ledit couvercle étant coulissant par rapport à l'organe de liaison, selon l'axe X. Selon une alternative, ledit organe de liaison peut être articulé autour d'un axe parallèle à l'axe X, ledit couvercle étant coulissant par rapport à l'organe de liaison, selon un axe perpendiculaire à l'axe X.According to the invention, these objects are achieved by making a housing comprising a bottom and a cover capable of reversibly covering said bottom, said cover being mounted on the bottom so that, in the open position, it can be position under said bottom, characterized in that the cover is mounted sliding on a connecting member articulated on said bottom. Preferably, the organ link is articulated around an axis Y, perpendicular to an axis X of the housing, said cover being sliding relative to the connecting member, along the axis X. According to an alternative, said connecting member can be articulated around an axis parallel to the X axis, said cover being sliding relative to the connection, along an axis perpendicular to the X axis.
Ainsi, un tel boítier peut être réalisé en quatre pièces : un fond, un couvercle, un axe d'articulation, et un organe de liaison. Son fonctionnement, aussi bien à l'ouverture qu'à la fermeture, est simple. Un tel boítier est robuste, et économique à réaliser.Thus, such a housing can be made in four parts: a bottom, a cover, a hinge pin, and a connecting member. Its operation, both opening and closing is simple. Such a case is robust, and economical to achieve.
Avec une configuration selon l'invention, il est possible d'utiliser l'organe de liaison comme organe de guidage du couvercle, lorsque celui-ci est glissé sous le fond, ce qui permet de faciliter la gestuelle, aussi bien à l'ouverture qu'à la fermeture. En outre, lorsque le boítier est obtenu de moulage, les moules nécessaires à sa réalisation sont plus simples, et de ce fait, moins coûteux.With a configuration according to the invention, it is possible to use the connecting member as a guide member for the cover, when the cover is slid under the bottom, which makes gesturing easier, both when opening and closing. In addition, when the housing is obtained from molding, the molds necessary for its are simpler, and therefore less expensive.
Le montage du couvercle sur le fond, via un organe de liaison articulé par rapport au fond permet de séparer le mouvement de pivot du couvercle par rapport au fond, et le mouvement de coulissement axial du couvercle sous le fond. La gestuelle s'en trouve améliorée de façon sensible.The mounting of the cover on the bottom, via a connecting member articulated with respect to at the bottom allows the pivot movement of the cover to be separated from the bottom, and the axial sliding movement of the cover under the bottom. The gesture is significantly improved.
Selon l'invention, dans toute position non verrouillée du couvercle par rapport au fond, il est possible de faire pivoter le couvercle par rapport au fond quelle que soit la position axiale du couvercle par rapport au fond.According to the invention, in any unlocked position of the cover relative to the bottom, it is possible to rotate the cover relative to the bottom whatever or the axial position of the cover relative to the bottom.
Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, le couvercle comporte une première face, dite "interne", destinée, en position fermée du boítier, à venir en regard du fond, et une seconde face opposée à la première, ledit couvercle étant monté de telle sorte que, lorsqu'il est positionné sous le fond, ladite première face soit en regard dudit fond. Cette caractéristique est particulièrement avantageuse en ce que, notamment lorsqu'un miroir est disposé sur la face interne du couvercle, celui-ci est protégé contre tout risque d'endommagement lors de son stockage.According to an advantageous embodiment, the cover comprises a first face, called "internal", intended, in the closed position of the housing, to come opposite the bottom, and a second face opposite the first, said cover being mounted so that, when positioned under the bottom, said first face is in look of said bottom. This characteristic is particularly advantageous in that that, in particular when a mirror is placed on the internal face of the cover, it is protected against any risk of damage during storage.
De manière plus spécifique, ledit organe de liaison peut être formé d'une pièce en U, articulée sur le fond autour d'un axe passant au voisinage des deux extrémités libres du U, ledit couvercle étant monté à coulisse entre ledit axe et le fond du U. Ainsi, lors du mouvement de positionnement du couvercle sous le fond, le couvercle peut être déplacé parallèlement à son plan, jusqu'à ce qu'il atteigne sa position finale sous le fond du boítier. Lors de ce mouvement, il est guidé d'une part par le fond du boítier, et d'autre part, par l'organe de liaison en U.More specifically, said connecting member can be formed in one piece by U, articulated on the bottom around an axis passing in the vicinity of the two ends free from the U, said cover being mounted to slide between said axis and the bottom of the U. Thus, during the positioning movement of the cover under the bottom, the cover can be moved parallel to its plane, until it reaches its final position under the bottom of the case. During this movement, it is guided by a part by the bottom of the housing, and secondly, by the U-shaped connecting member.
Avantageusement, des moyens de butée sont prévus pour limiter le coulissement du couvercle par rapport à l'organe de liaison entre une première position ouverte dans laquelle le couvercle est disposé sensiblement dans son intégralité sous le fond, et une seconde position, dite "pivotante", dans laquelle le couvercle est décalé par rapport au fond, de manière à pouvoir être basculé en position de fermeture du boítier. Des moyens d'encliquetage peuvent être prévus pour bloquer de manière réversible ledit couvercle dans lesdites première et seconde positions.Advantageously, stop means are provided to limit sliding of the cover relative to the connecting member between a first open position wherein the cover is disposed substantially in its entirety under the bottom, and a second position, called "pivoting", in which the cover is offset from the bottom, so that it can be tilted to the closing the case. Latching means can be provided for reversibly locking said cover in said first and second positions.
Avantageusement encore, en une première extrémité du couvercle, lesdits moyens de butée comportent un élément apte à verrouiller de manière réversible ledit couvercle sur le fond. Typiquement, un tel moyen de verrouillage comporte une languette s'étendant sensiblement dans un plan perpendiculaire à un plan du boítier, et destiné à coopérer par déformation élastique ou par claquage avec un organe correspondant prévu sur le fond du boítier. A l'autre extrémité du couvercle, on peut disposer également une languette repliée à 90° par rapport au plan du couvercle. Ainsi, le fermoir forme butée dans la position du couvercle sous le boítier, tandis que l'autre languette forme butée dans la position "pivotante" du fond par rapport au couvercle. Advantageously also, at a first end of the cover, said stop means comprise an element capable of reversibly locking said cover on the bottom. Typically, such a locking means comprises a tongue extending substantially in a plane perpendicular to a plane of the housing, and intended to cooperate by elastic deformation or by breakdown with a corresponding member provided on the bottom of the housing. At the other end of the cover, you can also have a tab folded at 90 ° to the cover plan. Thus, the clasp forms a stop in the position of the cover under the housing, while the other tab forms a stop in the "pivoting" position of the bottom relative to the cover.
De préférence, ledit fond forme au moins un premier compartiment apte à recevoir un produit, notamment de maquillage. De préférence encore, le boítier comprend en outre un second compartiment apte à recevoir un organe d'application du produit, notamment une houppette, un pinceau, ou une brosse. La face du boítier destinée à venir en regard du fond peut comporter un miroir.Preferably, said bottom forms at least a first compartment capable of receiving a product, in particular make-up. More preferably, the housing includes in addition a second compartment capable of receiving a member for applying the product, including a powder puff, brush, or brush. The face of the case intended to come opposite the bottom may include a mirror.
Un tel boítier peut être utilisé pour le conditionnement d'un produit de maquillage, notamment d'un blush, d'un fard à joues, d'un fard à paupières, ou d'un fond de teint.Such a case can be used for packaging a makeup product, including a blush, a blush, an eyeshadow, or a background of complexion.
L'invention consiste, mises à part les dispositions exposées ci-dessus, en un certain nombre d'autres dispositions qui seront explicitées ci-après, à propos d'exemples de réalisation non limitatifs, décrits en référence aux figures annexées, parmi lesquelles :
- la figure 1 représente une vue éclatée d'un mode de réalisation du boítier selon l'invention;
- les figures 2A-2B représentent respectivement le boítier de la figure 1 en position fermée, respectivement ouverte; et
- les figures 3A-3E illustrent les différentes étapes de fermeture du boítier représenté aux figures 1 et 2A-2B.

- Figures 2A-2B respectively show the housing of Figure 1 in the closed position, respectively open; and
- Figures 3A-3E illustrate the various stages of closing the housing shown in Figures 1 and 2A-2B.
Tel que représenté dans sa forme de réalisation de la figure 1, le boítier 1
comprend un fond 2, d'axe longitudinal X. Le fond 2 comporte un ou plusieurs
compartiments 3, 4 que l'on discutera plus en détail par la suite en référence à la
figure 2B. Une première extrémité du fond se termine par une portion de section
circulaire 10, traversée perpendiculairement à l'axe X d'un orifice 5 (ou plusieurs
orifices disposés en regard l'un de l'autre) et destiné à recevoir une tige 6, apte à
définir un axe d'articulation autour d'un axe Y perpendiculaire à l'axe X, d'un
organe de liaison 7 par rapport au fond. L'organe de liaison 7 est constitué d'un
élément sensiblement en forme de U. Les deux branches 8, 9, du U sont
traversées au voisinage de leur extrémité libre par un orifice 11, 12 apte à être mis
en regard avec le ou les orifices 5 du fond 2, de manière à permettre le montage
articulé de l'organe de liaison 7 sur le fond via la tige 6. Un renfoncement 30 est
prévu dans ladite portion 10 de section circulaire de manière à former un
logement pour un organe apte à venir en butée à l'intérieur dudit logement. Cette
caractéristique sera décrite plus en détail par la suite.As shown in its embodiment of Figure 1, the
Entre le fond 2 et la paroi de fond 35 du U formé par l'organe de liaison 7, est
disposé un couvercle 20 de section similaire à la section du fond 2 de manière à,
en position fermée, recouvrir la totalité dudit fond 2, et délimiter avec ce dernier un
volume fermé. En une extrémité 21 opposée à l'axe Y, le couvercle comporte un
fermoir 22, apte à coopérer par claquage avec une portion complémentaire 23 du
fond 2, de manière à assurer le verrouillage réversible du couvercle 20 sur le fond
2. Le fermoir 22 est constitué d'une languette repliée en direction du fond,
sensiblement à 90° par rapport au plan du couvercle 20, et apte en outre, comme
on le verra en détail par la suite, à limiter le mouvement de coulissement du
couvercle 20 sous le fond 2.Between the
En son extrémité 24 opposée à l'extrémité 21 portant le fermoir, le couvercle 20
porte une portion 25 repliée dans la direction opposée au fond, à environ 90° par
rapport au plan du couvercle 20. La portion 25 est orientée à l'opposée de la
languette 22 formant le fermoir. Comme on le verra plus en détail par la suite, la
portion 25 permet, en position montée du couvercle sur le fond, de limiter le
mouvement de coulissement du couvercle 20 lorsque celui-ci est retiré depuis sa
position située sous le fond 2 en vue de la fermeture du boítier, et d'éviter ainsi
que le couvercle 20 ne se désolidarise du fond 2. Dans un mode de réalisation
spécifique, le boítier est réalisé en polypropylène ou en ABS. Le couvercle 20
présente deux faces 26, 27 : l'une 26 située en regard du fond ; l'autre 27 située à
l'opposé de la face 26, et, située à l'extérieur du boítier lorsque celui-ci
est fermé.At its
A la figure 2A, le boítier 1 est représenté en position fermée, avec le couvercle 20
délimitant avec le fond 2 un volume fermé, le fermoir 22 étant en engagement
élastique avec l'organe correspondant du fond. La face 27 du couvercle 20 est à
l'extérieur du boítier. La portion 25 du couvercle 20 est en butée contre le bord 34
de la paroi de fond 35 du U formé par l'organe de liaison 7.In Figure 2A, the
A la figure 2B, le couvercle 20 est disposé sous le fond 2 du boítier. Le fermoir 22
est en butée contre la portion de section circulaire 10 du fond, à l'intérieur du
renfoncement 30 discuté ci-avant, en référence à la figure 1. La portion 25 du
couvercle est sensiblement en alignement avec l'extrémité du fond portant
l'organe de fermeture 23. Dans le compartiment 3 du fond est disposé un premier
applicateur 31 sous forme d'un pinceau, et un second applicateur 32 sous forme
d'un bloc de mousse. Dans le compartiment 4 est déposé un pain de fard à
paupières 33. Le boítier peut être conditionné sous cette forme dans un blister
transparent. Le contenu du boítier est parfaitement visible depuis l'extérieur.
L'encombrement du boítier est réduit en raison de la position du couvercle 20
sous le fond 2.In Figure 2B, the
En partant de la position représentée à la figure 2B, l'utilisatrice tire sur le
couvercle 20, en utilisant la languette du fermoir 22 comme moyen de préhension
(voir figure 3A). Le couvercle 20 coulisse entre le fond 2 et l'organe de liaison 7,
avec un mouvement dans un plan sensiblement parallèle au plan du boítier 1. Le
mouvement se poursuit de la manière représentée à la figure 3B, jusqu'à ce que
la portion repliée 25 du couvercle arrive en butée contre le bord correspondant 34
du fond du U formé par l'organe de liaison 7 (voir figure 3C) et atteigne la position
dite "pivotante". Des moyens de clipsage (non représentés), peuvent assurer un
verrouillage réversible du couvercle dans cette position. A ce moment, l'utilisatrice
peut faire pivoter le couvercle 20 et l'organe de liaison 7, par rapport au fond 2,
autour de l'axe Y. Il reste ensuite à presser légèrement sur le couvercle 20 de
manière à mettre en engagement élastique le fermoir 22 du couvercle avec
l'élément correspondant 23 du fond 2.Starting from the position shown in Figure 2B, the user pulls on the
A l'ouverture, la démarche est inverse. L'utilisatrice fait pivoter le couvercle 20 et
l'organe de liaison 7 par rapport au fond 2, autour de l'axe Y, et ce, jusqu'à ce que
le couvercle soit sensiblement à 180° par rapport au fond. Elle pousse ensuite le
couvercle 20 sous le fond 2, jusqu'à ce que le fermoir 22 soit en butée dans
l'évidement 30 de la portion 10 du fond 2. Des moyens de clipsage (non
représentés) peuvent assurer un verrouillage réversible du couvercle dans cette
position.At the opening, the process is reversed. The user rotates the
Dans la description détaillée qui précède, il a été fait référence à des modes de réalisation préférés de l'invention. Il est évident que des variantes peuvent y être apportées sans s'écarter de l'esprit de l'invention telle que revendiquée ci-après.In the foregoing detailed description, reference has been made to modes of preferred embodiments of the invention. Obviously there may be variations made without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed below.
