Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a container for a product, in particular for a cosmetic product in stick form. In particular, the container enables the cosmetic product to be applied after the product has been delivered. Background Art

[0002] In the field of cosmetic packaging, containers are known that include a base in which a mechanism containing the product is housed. The mechanism is configured to drive the product from a retracted position for storage to a protruding position for use by actuating the base. Moreover, in the case of an aluminum mechanism and a base including a hook device, the aluminum mechanism is usually forcibly assembled into the base. This leads to deformation of the base and thus to more or less significant defects in the appearance of the base.

[0003] In order to overcome this drawback, it is known to use an insert between the base and the mechanism. The insert thus maintains the structure of the base by accommodating the forced assembly mechanism. Any deformation of the insert due to this forced assembly of the mechanism does not affect the overall appearance of the container due to the position of said insert.

[0004] However, this presents several difficulties. Firstly, the insert is made of a different material from the base. Therefore, the circulation of a container comprising such an insert and base combination involves contamination in the circulating flow of material dedicated to the base. An alternative solution is to separate the insert from the base and consider two different flows: one for processing the material of the base and one for processing the material of the insert. This solution is expensive. Moreover, if glue is used to assemble the base and the insert, this solution does not completely eliminate the risk of contamination of the glue in each of the flows.

[0005] Therefore, there is an obvious need to develop a container for cosmetic products which has an optimized and inexpensive end-of-life recycling chain. Summary of the invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to at least partially overcome the drawbacks of the prior art and, to this end, according to a first aspect, a container for a product, in particular for a cosmetic product in stick form, is proposed, the container comprising a base, an insert and a mechanism mounted in the base by the insert, the mechanism being configured to drive the product from a retracted position to a protruding position enabling use of the product.

[0007] According to this aspect of the invention, the base and the insert are made of the same type of material from a circulation criteria point of view.

[0008] Thus, at the end of the life cycle of the container, the base and the insert can be disposed of together without the need to separate the base and the insert. This eliminates the additional disassembly step that is common in the recycling process of the containers of the prior art. This also significantly reduces the cost of recovering waste from the container at the end of its life cycle.

[0009] The container according to this aspect of the invention may also have the following features, which alone or in any technically possible combination form a number of embodiments of the invention:

[0010] - Material type is plastic type or metal type,

[0011] - the metal type is selected from aluminium, aluminium alloys and / or steel,

[0012] - the insert is configured to prevent the mechanism from rotating and / or pulling out relative to the base,

[0013] - the insert comprises means for preventing said rotation (called anti-rotation means) and means for preventing said pull-out (called anti-pull-out means), said anti-pull-out means being different from said anti-rotation means,

[0072] like Figure 1 As shown, the invention relates to a container 1 for a product, in particular for a cosmetic product in stick form, such as a lipstick stick. Said container 1 in particular ensures a product application function.

[0073] The container 1 comprises a base 2, an insert 4 and a mechanism 6 mounted in the base 2 by the insert 4. The container 1 further comprises a cover 8 for protecting the mechanism 6.

[0074] In particular, the mechanism 6 is designed to contain the product and drive the product from a stored retracted position to a used protruding position by a user actuating the base 2. In other words, the operation of the mechanism 6 is driven by the user's action on the base 2, as described below.

[0075] Reference Fig. 6A In the example shown, the base 2 comprises a housing 21 , referred to as a first housing, comprising a side wall 21 a and a bottom 21 b configured to receive the insert 4 .

[0076] The base 2 also comprises a collar 22 positioned on the upper edge 21e of the housing 21. The collar 22 is configured to press the insert 4 against the side wall 21a of the housing 21 by means of the lower edge. In other words, the upper edge of the insert 4 is clamped between the upper edge 21e of the housing and the lower edge of the collar 22.

[0077] Finally, the base 2 comprises a ballast 23, referred to as the first ballast, in the form of a ring coaxial with the first shell 21 and / or the insert 4. In particular, the first ballast 23 is positioned between the first shell 21 and the insert 4, in an annular recess of the insert 4. Furthermore, the first ballast 23 comprises a lower edge positioned in a recess 21f formed at the bottom 21b of said first shell 21. The recess 21f is located at Figure 3 is best shown in .

[0078] According to a first aspect of the invention, the base 2 and the insert 4 are made of the same type of material.

[0079] In particular, materials of this type may be selected according to recycling criteria or regulations which define combinations of materials which are compatible or incompatible for treatment in existing streams given current recycling technologies.

[0080] Advantageously, the type of material is a plastic material type or a metallic material type.Preferably, the second type comprises aluminium, an aluminium alloy and / or steel.

[0081] Therefore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the insert 4 and the various elements forming the base 2, namely the housing 21, the collar 22 and the first ballast 23 are made of an aluminum alloy. In another embodiment, the first ballast 23 is made of steel, while the other parts of the base 2 and the insert 4 are still made of an aluminum alloy.

[0082] According to another aspect of the present invention, referring to Figure 5A and Figure 5B , the insert 4 is formed as a single piece, comprising a plurality of stages, in this case three stages 41, 42, 43. Such an insert is obtained, for example, by molding and / or deep drawing. The stages 41, 42, 43 are designed to selectively receive a mechanism 6, which is selected from mechanisms of different lengths and / or different diameters. Here, the stages can receive three types of mechanisms of different diameters and different lengths.

[0083] The features described according to the second aspect of the invention may or may not be combined with the features described according to the first aspect of the invention. Thus, according to the second aspect of the invention, the insert 4 and the base 2 do not have to be made of the same type of material from a recycling criteria point of view. Similarly, according to the first aspect of the invention, the insert does not have to be graded and / or integral.

[0084] Advantageously, the insert 4 is a rotating part that can be housed in any standard base. In particular, this means that the base is provided with an internal housing, in particular a housing open axially on both sides of the base, said internal housing being delimited here by the housing 21 and the ballast 23. Such a base requires little, if any, special arrangement to receive the insert 4.

[0085] The stages 41 , 42 , 43 each comprise a seat 41 a , 42 a , 43 a for receiving the lower surface of the member 6 , and a cylindrical peripheral wall 41 d , 42 d , 43 d configured to receive the side wall of the member 6 opposite thereto.

[0086] In particular, if Figure 5B As shown, each seat 41a, 42a, 43a is in the form of a crown having an inner diameter Dint and an outer diameter Dext, which defines a width L41, L42, L43 called the seat width. In other words, for each stage 41, 42, 43, the seat width L41, L42, L43 is given by the following expression: L=Dext-Dint. The inner diameter Dint and the outer diameter Dext represent only the seat 41a for the stage 41.

[0087] Each peripheral wall 41d, 42d, 43d has a predetermined height H41, H42, H43, and forms a receiving portion 41e, 42e, 43e that is entered from an opening 41f, 42f, 43f opposite to the seat 41a, 42a, 43a. The diameters D41, D42, D43 of the receiving portion 41e, 42e, 43e and the opening 41f, 42f, 43f correspond to the outer diameter Dext of the seat 41a, 42a, 43a. In addition, each peripheral wall 41d, 42d, 43d forms a gap J41, J42, J43 with the first shell 21, and when the mechanism 6 is installed in the formed opening 41f, 42f, 43f, the gap enables the structure of the first shell 21 to be maintained. The gaps J41, J42 are Figure 6B (where the first ballast 23 is not shown). The gap J43 is Figure 6C is best shown in .

[0088] It should be noted that the diameters D41, D42, D43 of the stages 41, 42, 43 have values ​​arranged in increasing order from the stage 41 called the lower stage to the stage 43 called the upper stage, from the bottom to the top. With this distribution of the diameters D41, D42, D43, the insert 4 has an annular recess, seen from the outside.

[0089] Furthermore, the gaps J41 , J42 , J43 formed between the peripheral walls 41 d , 42 d , 43 d and the first housing 21 differ from one stage to another, and the gaps have values ​​arranged in descending order from the lower stage 41 to the upper stage 43 .

[0090] Finally, the width L41, L42, L43 and / or height H41, H42, H43 of the levels 41, 42, 43 may vary from one level to another. Here, the width L41 and height H41 of the lower level 41 are greater than the width and height of the level 42, referred to as the intermediate level, and the width and height of the upper level 43.

[0091] In the illustrated embodiment, the height of the first ballast 23 is substantially equal to the sum of the height H41 associated with the lower stage 41 and the height H42 associated with the intermediate stage 42. Thus, the first ballast 23 extends longitudinally into the gap J41 formed between the lower stage 41 and the first hull 21, and into the gap J42 formed between the intermediate stage 42 and the first hull 21.

[0092] Advantageously, each stage 41, 42, 43 of the insert 4 comprises means configured to prevent rotation and / or extraction of the mechanism 6. These means are therefore called anti-rotation means and anti-extraction means. It should be noted that extraction refers to a vertical displacement of the mechanism 6 relative to the insert 4.

[0093] The anti-rotation means and the anti-pull-out means are made of the same material as the insert 4. This means that on the insert, which is made of metal for example, there are no anti-rotation means and anti-pull-out means made of a different material, such as an elastic material.

[0094] According to the embodiment shown, the anti-rotation means are in the form of cylindrical portions 41c, 42c, 43c ( Figure 5B ), and the anti-pull-out device is in the form of circular ribs 41b, 42b, 43b ( Figure 5A The columnar portions 41c, 42c, 43c and the ribs 41b, 42b, 43b are formed at the peripheral walls 41d, 42d, 43d.

[0095] In particular, the pillars 41 c , 42 c , 43 c are configured to be positioned in grooves implemented at the mechanism 6 , said pillars and said grooves thus forming an anti-rotation system.

[0096] The circular ribs 41 b , 42 b , 43 b are configured to abut against lateral projections of the means 6 , whereby said ribs and said projections form an anti-pull-out system.

[0097] Thus, advantageously, the means forming the anti-rotation system differ from the means forming the anti-pull-out system for each stage 41, 42, 43 of the insert 4. Furthermore, said means have respectively the same structure from one stage to another.

[0098] The cylindrical portions 41c, 42c, 43c extend radially from the inside of the peripheral wall 41d, 42d, 43d and extend radially along an axis parallel to the axis of rotation of the insert 4. Preferably, these cylindrical portions are in the same plane.

[0099] The ribs 41b, 42b, 43b extend in the circumferential direction, extending from the inside of the peripheral walls 41d, 42d, 43d. The ribs form concentric circles around the axis of rotation of the insert 4.

[0100] Advantageously, the insert 4 comprises a cap 44 positioned above the upper stage 43. As mentioned above, this cap 44 is configured to be pressed against the side wall 21a of the housing 21 by means of the collar 22. To this end, said cap 44 comprises a peripheral wall 44d forming an opening 44f having a diameter D44 greater than the diameter of the stages 41, 42, 43. In particular, the opening 44f of the cap 44 is aligned with the openings 43f, 42f, 41f of the stages 43, 42, 41, so as to enable the mechanism 6 to be received in any one of said stages, depending on the diameter of said mechanism 6.

[0101] Advantageously, the insert 4 also comprises a base 45 positioned here opposite to the cap 44. In particular, before the insert 4 is mounted in the housing 21, this base 45 has a shape that is flared relative to the seat 41a of the lower stage 41. This base 45 is configured to be positioned through an opening 21d formed at the bottom 21b of the first housing 21 and then held against a protrusion 21c surrounding said opening 21d by snap riveting.

[0102] The term "snap riveting" is used to refer to the operation of folding the base 45 of the insert 4 against the protrusion 21c formed at the bottom 21b of the first shell 21. This folding enables a wall-to-wall contact to be established between the base 45 and the protrusion 21c to securely fix the insert 4 to the first shell 21 of the base 2. Due to the flared shape of the base 45 and the complementary shape of the protrusion 21c (see Figure 3 ), in which the implementation of this folding can be realized. In addition, the implementation of this folding particularly leads to the opening 46 of the insert 4 being aligned with the opening 21d of the first housing 21 (see Figure 6B ). The term “snap-riveting” can also be understood as pressing the insert 4 into the housing 21 .

[0103] It should be noted that assembly by snap-riveting is most suitable for inserts and bases made of metal, in particular aluminum. In the case of inserts and bases made of plastic material, other types of assembly are preferred.

[0104] Reference Figure 4 The collar 22 of the base 2 includes a lower portion 24 , an upper portion 25 , and a middle portion 26 connecting the lower portion 24 and the upper portion 25 .

[0105] In particular, the lower portion 24 is configured to exert a radial pressure on the cap 44 of the insert 4 so as to press said cap against the peripheral wall 21a of the first shell 21. This lower portion 24 is thus positioned in the insert 4 and remains invisible from the outside of the container 1. Furthermore, this lower portion 24 comprises an external rib 24a configured to abut under a rib 44b of the cap 44 so as to prevent the collar from being pulled out, i.e. vertically displaced, relative to the first shell 21.

[0106] Figure 6C An example of the installation between the lower portion 24 of the collar 22, the cap 44 of the insert 4 and the peripheral wall 21a of the first housing 21 is shown. In the embodiment shown, the ribs 24a of the collar 22 extend outwardly along the circumference of the collar, while the ribs 44b of the cap 44 extend inwardly along the circumference of the cap. Therefore, the orientation of the ribs 44b is the same as the orientation of the ribs 41b, 42b, 43b of the stages 41, 42, 43.

[0107] The upper portion 25 of the collar 22 has a rim forming an opening, called the passage opening of the member 6. Advantageously, the diameter of this passage opening is substantially equal to the diameter of the member 6 to minimize or even eliminate the play between the rim of the upper portion 25 and the outer wall of the member 6.

[0108] The middle portion 26 of the collar 22 forms a flange whose diameter is substantially equal to the outer diameter of the first shell 21. The middle portion 26 is thus aligned with the first shell 21 so that the base 2 has a cylindrical shape. In addition, the middle portion 26 has a shoulder 26a forming a seat for receiving the cover 8.

[0109] The cover 8 comprises a housing called second housing and a ballast called second ballast positioned in a housing of said second housing. In particular, the second ballast is in the form of a ring coaxial with said second housing, said second ballast comprising an axial opening configured to receive the means 6.

[0110] According to the embodiment shown, the outer diameter of said second shell of cover 8 is substantially equal to the outer diameter of said first shell 21 of base 2 , and the inner diameter of the second shell of the cover corresponds to the outer diameter of upper portion 25 of collar 22 .

[0111] Thus, in the closed position of the container 1, the second shell of the lid 8 is aligned with the first shell 21 of the base 2. The middle portion 26 of the collar 22 then extends between the first shell 21 and the second shell. Furthermore, the second shell is held in place by at least one protrusion 25a (here three protrusions) formed on the outer wall of the upper portion 25 of the collar 22.

[0112] As a non-limiting example, a mechanism 6 that may be associated with the previously described base 2, insert 4, and cover 8 is now described.

[0113] The mechanism 6 comprises a guide 61 fixedly mounted in the insert 4 and a sheath 65 rotatably mounted relative to the guide 61 .

[0114] Reference Figure 7 The guide 61 comprises a tube 62 configured to receive a cup 66 containing the product and a lower support 63 for mounting said guide at the insert. Figure 8 The cup 66 shown comprises a hollow cylindrical body and at least one radial lug 66a, here two diametrically opposed lugs.

[0115] In particular, the support 63 includes a shoulder 63b configured to abut under one of the anti-pull-out ribs 41b, 42b, 43b of the insert 4. The shoulder 63b corresponds to the lateral protrusion mentioned above, which is related to the installation of the mechanism 6 in the insert 4. In addition, the support 63 has a peripheral wall provided with a plurality of splines 63a. One of the splines cooperates with one of the anti-rotation cylindrical portions 41c, 42c, 43c of the insert 4 and corresponds to the groove mentioned above, which is related to the installation of the mechanism 6 in the insert 4.

[0116] The tube 62 comprises at least one vertical slot 64, here two slots, configured to slidingly receive lugs 66a of the cup 66. Each slot 64 has ends 64a, 64b provided with angled notches forming end stops for the lugs 66a.

[0117] In particular, the one or more slide grooves 64 are radially open relative to the one or more lugs 66a of the cup 66, so that the one or more lugs 66a of the cup 66 engage in the one or more spiral grooves 65a formed on the inner wall of the sheath 65 (see Fig. 9 ). Thus, when the user holds the sheath 65 with one hand, he can operate the base 2 and the assembly formed by said base 2, the insert 4 and the guide 61 is driven in rotation. In this way, the cup 66 can move relative to the sheath 65 together with the axial part, thus extending or retracting the guide 62 relative to said sheath 65, depending on the direction of rotation of the base 2.

[0118] It should be noted that said movement is performed along an axis of the mechanism 6 , which coincides with the main axis of the container 1 .

[0119] The mechanism 6 may also include a housing covering the sheath 65 , which housing is also called a sleeve or a cannula and is mainly used for aesthetic functions.

[0120] The mechanism described above is intended to be housed in the highest stage 43. Other mechanisms of smaller diameter but possibly longer are intended to be housed in the other stages 41, 42. These other mechanisms may have the same structure and operating principle as the previous one, but this is not necessary.

[0121] Fig.10Different mechanisms 6A, 6B, 6C are shown which can be mounted in the same base 2 due to the stepped aspect of the insert 4 and due to the predetermined shapes of the levels 41, 42, 43 of said insert. In the figure, the mechanisms 6A, 6B, 6C have a diameter that increases from left to right. The first mechanism 6A is configured to be mounted on the deepest seat 41a, the second mechanism 6B on the middle seat 42a and the third mechanism 6C on the upper seat 43a of the insert 4.

[0122] In order to mount each of these mechanisms 6A, 6B, 6C in the base 2 , it is possible to envisage a specific collar 22A, 22B, 22C having a passage opening whose diameter matches that of the chosen mechanism.
