Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to cosmetic products, and more particularly, to cosmetic products having refillable features. Background Art

[0002] Containers and storage reservoirs for cosmetic products and / or substances are provided in several different arrangements and configurations. For example, the container can be used to hold cosmetic substances in the form of blush powder and / or foundation products. These containers can include removable and / or rotatable (e.g., flip-top) tops to allow the user to access and use the cosmetic substance contained therein. Typically, such existing containers are manufactured by setting the cosmetic substance in a tray that is permanently adhered to the frame of the container to provide stability during manufacturing and during shipping. However, this arrangement may not be reusable because separating the tray from the frame may permanently damage one or both of these components. Some existing containers can use magnets in combination to releasably couple the tray to the frame. However, while the use of magnets and / or magnetic materials can provide assurance that the tray will remain coupled to the frame, such materials may not be disposed of in a sustainable manner and may thus result in environmental waste. Further, the production of magnets requires a large amount of processing and energy, which may run counter to sustainability goals due to the generation of environmental waste.

[0003] Accordingly, there is a need for improved products with enhanced functionality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Examples within the scope of the present disclosure relate to the use of a cosmetic product having ergonomic and replaceable features. A cosmetic product is provided that includes: a container that defines a cavity and includes a container coupling member; a removable drawer; and a frame. The removable drawer includes a drawer cavity that holds a cosmetic substance. The frame is adapted to be at least partially disposed within the cavity of the container and includes a first opening, a second opening, and a frame coupling member that is adapted to be rotatably coupled to the container coupling member. The first opening is adapted to expose the cosmetic substance such that the cosmetic substance can be collected and removed from the drawer cavity. The second opening is adapted to slidably receive the removable drawer.

[0005] In some examples, the removable drawer can be slidably inserted into the second opening of the frame in a direction generally parallel to the bottom plate member of the frame. In these and other examples, the removable drawer can be prevented from being removed from or inserted into the second opening of the frame until the frame is rotatably moved to a raised position relative to the container.

[0006] In some forms, the cosmetic product may further include a cap having a cap coupling member rotatably coupled to the container coupling member. In some of these forms, the cap coupling member, the frame coupling member, and the container coupling member may be rotatably coupled to each other via a common hinge. In still other forms of these, an engagement member may be formed on at least one of the cap or the frame. The engagement member may push the frame to a raised position when rotating the cap to a raised position relative to the container.

[0007] In some methods, the removable drawer may include a liner disposed within the drawer cavity to hold cosmetic substances. Further, in some methods, the removable drawer may include a pawl that generates a tactile feedback when inserting and / or removing the removable drawer from a second opening of the frame. In some examples, the cosmetic product may further include a grip member formed on the removable drawer. In still other examples, the cosmetic product may include an applicator disposed within a cavity of the container.

[0008] According to a second aspect, there is provided a cosmetic product including: a container defining a cavity and including a container coupling member; a removable drawer including a drawer cavity for holding cosmetic substances; and a frame at least partially disposed within the cavity of the container. The frame includes a bottom plate member generally extending along a plane, side walls defining a frame cavity, a slot formed in the side walls, and a frame coupling member adapted to be rotatably coupled to the container coupling member. The slot is adapted to slidably receive the removable drawer in a direction parallel to the base such that the removable drawer can be positioned within the frame cavity. Description of the Drawings

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] Generally speaking, in accordance with these various methods, there is provided a cosmetic product container having a removable drawer or tray for containing a cosmetic substance. These removable drawers allow a user to quickly and easily replace a first cosmetic substance with a different cosmetic substance, such as when the first cosmetic substance has been used up or completely depleted. In other examples, the removable drawer may allow a user to replace different cosmetic substances having different characteristics (e.g., hue, long-lasting properties, and / or any other feature) as needed. It is noted that the cosmetic product containers described herein provide a quick and smooth removal and insertion process for the desired removable drawer.

[0031] ​​​Turning to the figures, a cosmetic product 100 is provided in the form of a cosmetic palette. Generally, the cosmetic palette 100 includes a container 102, a lid 106, a removable drawer (or tray) 110, a frame 120, and an applicator 130. The container 102 includes a cavity 102a for selectively holding the drawer 110, the frame 120, and / or the applicator 130, and also includes a container coupling member 104. The container 102 can be constructed from any number of suitable materials and / or combinations of materials, such as, for example, metal, polymer, etc. As Figures 1-18 illustrated, in some examples, the container 102 has a generally cylindrical body, but other examples of suitable shapes and / or configurations are possible. The container can have a generally curved or beveled transition to enhance comfort when handled by the user.

[0032] As will be discussed in further detail below, in some examples, the container coupling member 104 can be in the form of an opening or other cutout to cooperate with portions of the lid 106 and / or the frame 120.

[0033] The lid 106 can be in the form of a cover or cap and includes a lid coupling member 107 in the form of a hinge, which engages with the container coupling member 104 via a common hinge or pin 108 to pivotally couple the lid 106 to the container 102. In the illustrated example, the lid coupling member 107 is in the form of an extension extending downward from the lid 106 and includes any number of protrusions 107a that can be inserted into or otherwise engage the corresponding container coupling member 104. However, in other examples, the components of the container coupling member 104 and the lid coupling member 107 can be reversed. The engagement between the container 102 and the lid 106 allows the lid 106 to pivot between a closed configuration (as Figures 1-10 illustrated) and an open configuration (as Figures 14-19 illustrated).

[0034] When in the closed configuration, the lid 106 can be secured to the container 102 by any number of suitable methods, such as, for example, a release mechanism 103 coupled to a latch member 103a ( Figure 9 ), a friction engagement between the lid 106 and the container 102, a magnetic attraction between these components, etc. Other examples can be used.

[0035] Although not illustrated, in some examples, the lid 106 can additionally include an opening that can receive any number of different lid inserts 110 in the form of disk-shaped members (not illustrated). For example, these disk-shaped members can be transparent and / or translucent to allow the user to visually identify the contents within the cavity 102a when the lid 106 is closed. In other examples, the disk-shaped members can be reflective or mirrored to assist the user in observing their face when applying the cosmetic product. Other examples are possible.

[0036] The removable drawer 110 includes a base 112 and side walls 113 that define a drawer cavity 113a for holding a cosmetic product or substance 101. For example, the removable drawer 110 can hold eyeshadow products, other compressed powder products such as, for example, highlighter products, contouring products, and / or concealer products. In other examples, the removable drawer 110 can hold any number of hot pour items such as, for example, lip products, eye products, concealer products, and / or brow products, among others. Other examples are possible. The dimensions of the removable drawer 110 are sized to be selectively disposed within the cavity 102a of the container 102.

[0037] As Figure 13 、 Figure 17 and Figure 19 illustrated, in some examples, the removable drawer 110 can include a gripping member 114 to assist a user in inserting the removable drawer 110 and / or removing the removable drawer from the container 102. More specifically, the gripping member 114 can be in the form of a ledge or ridge that a user can engage with their fingers or other device. In the illustrated example, the gripping member 114 is provided in an oval or ovoid shape such that two different ridges that form a generally recessed area therebetween are formed. Other examples and / or arrangements are possible.

[0038] The removable drawer 110 can be constructed from any number of suitable materials such as, for example, metals, metal alloys, polymers, and the like. In examples where the removable drawer 110 holds a cosmetic substance 101 that is pressed into the drawer cavity 113a, a metal material may be desirable due to its ability to withstand greater pressing forces. In yet other examples, a liner (not illustrated) can be disposed within the drawer cavity 113a. Such a liner can be provided to cushion the removable drawer 110 and / or reduce or otherwise eliminate vibrations during shipping or handling of the cosmetic product 100.

[0039] The frame 120 includes a base or bottom plate member 121 and side walls 122 which cooperate to define a cavity 122a. In the illustrated example, the bottom plate member 121 generally extends along a plane. Further, in some examples, the frame 120 may include a cutout 125 formed in the bottom plate member 121. A ledge 123 defining a first opening 123a is coupled to the side walls 122. In the illustrated example, the ledge 123 generally extends along a plane parallel to the bottom plate member 121. Further, in some examples, the dimensions of the ledge 123 may be determined such that when the frame 120 is in a lowered position it abuts, rests on, or nests within the side walls of the container 102. The side walls 122 also include a slot or second opening 124. In the illustrated example, the slot or second opening 124 extends around approximately half or more of the perimeter of the side walls 122.

[0040] The frame 120 also includes a frame coupling member 126. The frame coupling member 126 may be in the form of an opening or other cutout to cooperate with portions of the lid 106 and / or the container 102. More specifically, in the illustrated example, like the lid coupling member 107, the frame coupling member 126 is in the form of a hinge that engages the container coupling member 104 via a pin 108. The frame coupling member 126 is in the form of an extension that extends downwardly from the frame 120 and includes any number of protrusions 126a( Figure 4 ), which may be inserted into or otherwise engage a corresponding container coupling area 104. Further, in the illustrated example, the protrusion 107a formed by the lid coupling member 107 is generally disposed within the area defined by the protrusions 126a. Other arrangements are possible.

[0041] As a result of the common hinge arrangement, both the lid 106 and the frame 120 can rotate relative to the container 102. In some examples, the lid 106 and the frame 120 can rotate independently of each other (i.e., the lid 106 can be raised and lowered while the frame 120 remains within the cavity 102a of the container 102( Figure 14 and 15 ). However, in other examples, the components of the container coupling member 104, the lid coupling member 107, and the frame coupling member 126 can be reversed. In other methods (not illustrated), the lid 106 and / or the frame 120 can include engagement members in the form of fingers, hooks, or other members that cause the frame 120 to pivot upwardly or rotate out of the cavity 102a when the lid 106 is opened beyond a certain point (e.g., when the lid 106 forms an angle of approximately 145° relative to the base of the container 102). In other examples, the engagement member can cause the frame 120 to pivot upwardly or rotate when the lid 106 is opened to an angle greater than approximately 90°. Other examples are possible.

[0042] As Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 16 and Figure 18 illustrated in, in some examples, the container 102 is sized such that the cavity 102a extends below the bottom plate member 121 of the frame 120 when the frame 120 is in the lowered position. The applicator 130 may be disposed in this region of the cavity 102a. The applicator may be constructed of any number of suitable materials, such as, for example, open cell foam material, fabric material, polymers, etc., to assist in collecting and applying the cosmetic substance 101. As Figure 16 illustrated in, the frame 120 may be rotated upwardly to allow the user to remove the applicator 130 from the cavity 102a or place the applicator in this cavity. Other arrangements are possible.

[0043] As previously described, the removable drawer 110 (and thus the cosmetic substance 101) may be disposed within the frame 120 and removable therefrom. More specifically, referring to Figures 16-19 , when the frame 120 is raised relative to the container 102, the slot 124 becomes unobstructed to allow the removable drawer 110 to be inserted into or removed from the frame 120. When inserting or removing the removable drawer 110, the ledge and base cooperate to guide the removable drawer 110 into or out of the cavity 122a in a direction generally parallel to the bottom plate member 121. As Figure 17 and Figure 19 illustrated in, in some arrangements, the shape of the grasping member 114 of the removable drawer 110 corresponds to the shape of the cutout 125 to properly align and / or position the removable drawer 110 relative to the frame 120. In the illustrated arrangement, the user may grasp either ridge of the grasping member 114 to assist in removing the removable drawer 110 from the frame 120, since the grasping member 114 may project a distance below the bottom plate member 121 of the frame 120.

[0044] When removing the removable tray 110 from the cavity 102a, different removable trays 110 (e.g., refill trays, replacement trays including cosmetic substances 101 having different colors / hues, and / or different types of cosmetic substances 101) may be coupled to the frame 120 and thus to the container 102. Thus, the user may use a single container 102 for different purposes as needed, thereby reducing waste by not disposing of the entire container 102.

[0045] In some examples, a pawl, projection, or other mechanism (not shown) may be formed on and / or otherwise coupled to the removable drawer 110 and / or the frame 120. Such a pawl may provide a tactile feedback response to the user to alert the user that the removable drawer 110 is secured to and / or removable from the frame 120.

[0046] It should be noted that when the frame 120 is in the lowered position, the container 102 prevents the removable drawer 110 from being removed from the slot 124. Further, in some examples, the size (e.g., diameter) of the sidewall 113 of the removable drawer 110 may be greater than the corresponding size (e.g., diameter) of the first opening 123a formed by the ledge 123. As a result, the ledge 123 can prevent the removable drawer 110 from being removed from the drawer cavity 113a via the first opening 123a. This arrangement ensures that the removable drawer 110 does not inadvertently become decoupled from the container 102 when the container 102 is inverted. Other arrangements are possible. In these and other examples, the frame 120 and / or the container 102 may include a locking mechanism (not shown) that prevents the frame 120 from rotating upward from the cavity 102 without overcoming the holding force and / or without actively releasing the locking mechanism. Such a locking mechanism can be in the form of a frictional engagement between components, tabs configured to engage hooks, etc. Other examples are possible.

[0047] In such a configuration, the containers described herein allow a user to selectively hold any number of desired removable drawers 110 in any number of different qualities and / or arrangements. The removable drawers 110 can be quickly coupled or decoupled from the container 102 to allow the user to travel with the cosmetic substances they desire. The removable drawers 110 are securely held within the container and will thus not be damaged during use or transportation.

[0048] It will be appreciated that in some examples (not shown), the container may have different shapes and / or configurations. For example, the container can be provided in a generally rectangular shape, a generally oval shape, a generally triangular shape, or any other desired shape. Further, in some examples, the size of the container can be determined to accommodate any number of frames that can be selectively and / or collectively rotated relative to the container. This arrangement will result in removable cosmetic palettes of different cosmetic substances being held within a single container. Further, in other examples (not shown), the container need not include a rotatable frame member. Instead, the container itself can include slots that allow a user to insert a removable tray into the container or remove the removable tray from the container. It will be appreciated that in such examples, any number of retention mechanisms can be provided to ensure that the removable tray does not inadvertently become decoupled from the container.

[0049] In still other examples (not shown), a similar arrangement of "frames" can be provided in a retail environment. In such an example, a retail shelving system or display can be provided in the form of a multi-slot frame whereby a user can quickly and easily remove a desired removable tray therefrom for purchase. The user can then insert the newly purchased removable tray into their container in a similar sliding manner. Other examples are possible.
