Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a container for holding cosmetics such as lipstick, face powder, eye shadow, etc., held by a support, the base containing the support, and an upper part connectable to the base, that is, It relates to a type provided with a lid.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Containers of this type for holding cosmetics held on a support are known. Such a known container has a base, and a support for containing cosmetics is arranged in a void provided in the base. This base is usually closed by a lid to protect the cosmetic product. Generally, a mirror is arranged on the lid so that the user can freely apply makeup.

In the known prior art, a support containing a cosmetic product is bonded to the base of the container. The bond is usually such that a non-dissociable bond occurs between the support and the base of the container. In most cases, the support and the base of the container will be joined by gluing.

A drawback of such known containers is that new containers with a support have to be procured after the cosmetic has been used up. Another drawback is that in view of the ever-increasing environmental regulations, container disposal issues arise.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The object of the present invention is therefore to improve a container of the type mentioned at the beginning so as to provide a container which can be reused after the cosmetic product held on the support has been exhausted. That is.

[0006]

In order to solve this problem, in the structure of the present invention, the base is provided with at least one notch penetrating the wall of the base, and the notch is provided with a support member. It was designed to be engaged by a protrusion located on the bottom of the.

[0007]

[Effect of device]

 According to the invention, the container has at least one notch in the wall of the base of the container which penetrates this wall. A protrusion located on the bottom of the support fits into this notch. This forms a "reversible bond" between the support and the base of the container. With such a configuration, it is possible to remove the support after the cosmetic is used up, and in this case, only the support provided with the cosmetic needs to be newly procured. This not only brings significant savings, but also contributes to the protection of the environment. This is because it is not necessary to replace the container itself together with the support after each use of cosmetics, and only the “refill pack” needs to be procured.

It is advantageous if one or two to four supports are provided at the base of the container. It is particularly advantageous if each support has only one projection. In the usual case, it is sufficient to fix the support on the bottom of the container via one projection. If more than one support is provided, it is advantageous for at least two supports to engage together in one notch. This has the advantage that, for example, if two supports are used, only one notch needs to be arranged in the base of the container. In this case, the two projections are formed so that they can be brought together into one notch.

However, the invention also covers all other variants, for example use cases in which three supports are provided. In this case, the projections of the first and the second support body together engage one notch and the third support engages the separate notch.

In a further advantageous configuration of the invention, the projection engages the recess in a form-fitting and / or friction-fitting manner. By this means a secure holding of the support at the base of the container is ensured. Advantageously, the projection is formed such that it is flush with the outer surface of the container after the outer surface of the projection has engaged the notch. In this case, the engagement of the projections with the recesses is preferably effected frictionally and / or formally connected, as explained above. However, the invention includes any conceivable means by which the projection can be fixed in position in the notch.

It is advantageous if the notch is circular and the projection that engages with the notch is a corresponding cylindrical projection.

For use cases where two projections come together to engage one notch, these projections are designed so that they together form, for example, a cylindrical projection. Has been done.

As described above, the height of the protrusion is set so that the protrusion is flush with the outer surface of the bottom of the container. For most supports that want to lock to the base of the container, one notch and one protrusion are sufficient.

The container according to the present invention may have any shape in both the base and the lid. The base can be circular, oval, or polygonal.

The size and shape of the support that is desired to be fixed in position at the base of the container are set according to the cosmetics contained in the container. The support may consist of one pieced piece, one piece pieced piece, or a plurality of pieces. Thereby, several kinds of cosmetics can be stored. The support may entirely occupy the space provided at the base of the container, or may partially occupy this space. It is also possible to accommodate additional tools, such as brushes and tweezers, in the container if the support only partially occupies the base of the container.

The container itself can be made from any material, ie all common plastics such as polypropylene, polyethylene or their copolymers, metals or other materials such as wood. The container can also be formed from a composite material. The container is preferably formed such that the base of the container is connected to the lid via a joint. This is advantageous when using containers. This is because the lid may be misplaced, for example after using the container.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a bottom view of a container 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. In the first exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the base 2 is connected via a joint 3 to an upper part 4 formed as a lid. The base 2 has an oval shape and is manufactured from plastic. In the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the bottom of the base 2 is provided with a circular notch 5 penetrating the wall of the base 2.

FIG. 2 also shows a bottom view of the support 6 according to the first exemplary embodiment. The support 6 is provided with a cylindrical protrusion 7. The dimensions of the cylindrical protrusion 7 are set so that the protrusion 7 can engage with the circular notch 5. The cylindrical projection 7 is positioned on the bottom of the support 6 so that the projection 7 engages the notch 5 when the support 6 and the base 2 are joined.

The replacement of the support 6 capable of accommodating cosmetics is carried out by pressing the cylindrical projection 7 from below and releasing the support 6 from the base 2. Therefore, the support 6 can be easily replaced with another new support after the cosmetic is used up.

In the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the support 6 is fixed in position by the cylindrical projection 7 being shapedally engaged with the circular cutout 5. In the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an additional locking of the support 6 is obtained via another notch 15 which engages the edge of the base 2. In this way, an additional holding of the support 6 is guaranteed. However, the present invention is not limited to any means, that is, a means in which the protrusion 7 is engaged with the notch 5 only, and an alternative notch (for example, a notch provided in the support 6). It includes a means in which the locking is provided only by the notch 15) or the projection, and a means in which both these means are used simultaneously.

According to the invention, the support 6 fills almost the entire cavity, as is the case, for example, in the first embodiment, and is suitable for accommodating only one type of cosmetic product, or is divided into several sections. It is also suitable for accommodating different cosmetic products.

FIG. 3 shows a container 1 according to the first embodiment shown in FIG. The container 1 is closed and a cylindrical projection 7 provided on a support 6 engages with the cutout 5.

As is apparent from FIG. 3, the projection 7 is designed so that the outer surface of the base 2 extends in the same plane as the cylindrical projection 7.

In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the base 8 is also connected to the lid 9 via the joint 10. However, unlike the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, two supports 13 and 14 are provided in the second embodiment shown in FIG. 4 (see FIG. 5). In this case, the projections 11 and 12 are arranged on the lower surfaces of the supports 13 and 14, respectively. The projections 11, 12 are arranged so that when the two supports 13, 14 are fitted together at their end faces, they together form one cylindrical projection 11, 12 for engaging the notch 5. It is formed and positioned on the underside of the supports 13,14.

In this way, the two supports 13, 14 can be replaced separately if necessary. For this purpose, either the projection 11 or the projection 12 or, if necessary, both projections 11, 12 are pushed out of the base 8 of the container, so that only the already used cosmetic product is replaced. This configuration has the additional advantage that the individual cosmetics can be refilled separately. Unlike the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the supports 13, 14 are dimensioned such that they do not occupy the entire void provided in the base 8 but only partially. There is. This leaves an empty space available for another makeup tool, for example a brush or tweezers.

FIG. 5 shows a plan view of the second embodiment shown in FIG. As is apparent from FIG. 5, the two separate supports 13, 14 can be replaced separately. The supports 13, 14 are positioned on the base 8 so that an empty space remains for accommodating another makeup tool.
