Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of cosmetic packaging equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the cosmetics industry, a cosmetic packaging device is known, comprising a base forming a receiving portion for receiving at least one cosmetic product and a cover adapted to close the receiving portion in the base. The cover is particularly pivotally mounted on the base for selectively opening and closing the receiving portion in the base. The cover may particularly include a mounting member and a housing, the housing being attached to the mounting member by a snap-fit ​​engagement of a complementary snap-fit ​​structure (or "snap-fit"). The cover may receive a mirror located on a surface oriented toward the base.

[0003] For the purpose of recycling the components of such packaging devices, it is particularly preferred that the various components constituting the packaging device can be disassembled, especially the mirror, if necessary.

[0004] JPH10-A-66622 and JP-A-2000-157328 describe examples of such packaging devices, in which a coin is inserted into a slot in the housing to separate the housing from the mounting element. The slot is located on the outer surface of the housing and is accessible when the packaging device is in the closed position.

[0005] EP-4,144,256-A describes another similar example in which a tool (e.g., a pen) is inserted into a slot that can only be accessed when the cover is open.

[0006] In JP-10,033,256-A, a slot for inserting a coin to detach the mounting from the housing is provided on the mounting, and the coin can only be inserted when the cover is in the open position.

[0007] Separating the casing from the cover using a tool (such as a coin or pen) can be considered complex.

[0008] Furthermore, US-A-2005 / 0115863 describes an example of a packaging device in which a snap-fit ​​tab of the outer casing is received in a slot of a mounting member such that the tab protrudes when the lid is opened. Therefore, by bending the tab, it can be pulled out of the slot, thereby releasing the outer casing from the lid.

[0009] However, this attachment method, which involves receiving the protruding tabs in the slot, is not aesthetically pleasing. Furthermore, in this document, the mirror adheres to the surface of the mounting component oriented towards the base, making disassembly difficult and hindering the recycling of the mounting component. Summary of the Invention

[0010] This disclosure aims to improve the above situation.

[0011] A packaging device for at least one cosmetic product is proposed, comprising: - Base, the base forming a receiving portion for receiving at least one cosmetic product; - A cover, adapted to close the receiving portion in the base, wherein the cover is pivotally mounted on the base; The cover includes, preferably, the following components: a mounting member, a cover body, and a mirror. The cover body is attached to the mounting member by a snap-fitting mechanism consisting of at least one first snap-fitting structure on the mounting member and at least one second complementary snap-fitting structure on the cover body. The mirror is in contact with a support surface formed by the mounting member, and the support surface is oriented toward the cover body. The snap-fitting mechanism of at least one first snap-fitting structure and at least one second complementary snap-fitting structure can only be accessed when the cover is in the open position, so it can be disassembled without the use of tools.

[0012] Therefore, advantageously, the various components of the packaging unit can be disassembled without tools. Since the snap-fit ​​engagements are only accessible when the packaging unit is opened, the aesthetics of the packaging unit are further preserved. Finally, the packaging unit allows for the attachment of a mirror without the use of adhesives, making its disassembly even easier.

[0013] Preferably, the packaging device includes one or more of the following features, used alone or in combination: - At least one first snap-fit ​​structure includes a hole, and a second snap-fit ​​structure includes a protrusion adapted to be received in the hole, the protrusion being located on an elastically deformable blade; - The cross-section of the protrusion is complementary to the cross-section of the hole; - The mounting element and cover include complementary structures for positioning the mounting element inside the cover, the complementary structures preferably being disposed on a side of the mounting element and cover opposite to the sides of at least one first snap-fit ​​structure and at least one second complementary snap-fit ​​structure respectively. - A complementary structure for positioning the mounting element inside the cover body includes at least one protruding structure and at least one receiving portion for receiving the at least one protruding structure, preferably having a cross section complementary to the at least one protruding structure; - The opening position corresponds to an opening angle of the cover greater than 120°, preferably greater than or equal to 180°, and the opening angle is measured from the closed position of the cover in the accommodating part of the base; - The mounting piece is attached to the base and pivots relative to the base; - The cover is attached to the base and pivots relative to the base; - The mounting hardware forms a recess for receiving the mirror; - The mirror is held in place in the groove by a snap-fit ​​mechanism, which is achieved by ribs provided on the mounting piece; - The base includes a housing and a color plate attached inside the housing, the color plate defining at least one receiving portion for receiving at least one cosmetic product; - The color swatch is attached inside the housing for easy removal, particularly through a removable snap-fit ​​mechanism that does not damage the housing or the color swatch; - The color chart also defines at least one receiving portion for receiving a cosmetic applicator; - The base also includes a protective member covering at least one receiving portion for receiving at least one cosmetic product, and preferably, if desired, covers at least one receiving portion for receiving a cosmetic applicator; and - At least one cosmetic product is foundation, lipstick, or eyeshadow.

[0014] According to another aspect, a component is described, which includes: - A packaging device as described above in all its combinations, wherein the base includes a housing and a color plate attached inside the housing, the color plate defining at least one receiving portion for receiving at least one cosmetic product, and the color plate is attached inside the housing for removability, particularly by means of a removable snap-fit ​​engagement without damaging the housing or the color plate; and - Suitable to be received, preferably attached, in the housing, the second cosmetic color plate, preferably covered by a protective element and / or received in a closed bag.

[0015] According to another aspect, a packaging device for at least one cosmetic product is described, comprising: - Base, the base forming a receiving portion for receiving at least one cosmetic product; - A cover, adapted to close the receiving portion in the base, wherein the cover is pivotally mounted on the base; The cover includes, preferably, the following components: a mounting component and a cover body, wherein the cover body is attached to the mounting component by a snap-fitting mechanism provided on the mounting component and at least one second complementary snap-fitting mechanism provided on the cover body; The snap-fitting of at least one first snap-fitting structure and at least one second complementary snap-fitting structure is only accessible when the cover is in the open position, thus allowing for disassembly without the use of tools. The at least one first snap-fitting structure includes a hole, and the second snap-fitting structure includes a protrusion adapted to be received in the hole, the protrusion being located on the elastically deformable blade.

[0016] Preferably, the packaging device for at least one cosmetic product includes a mirror in the cap, the mirror being in contact with a support surface formed by a mounting member, the support surface being oriented toward the cap.

[0017] Also preferably, the packaging device for at least one cosmetic product may subsequently have one or more of the features listed above, used alone or in combination. Attached Figure Description

[0035] Figure 1 An example of a packaging device 10 for cosmetics is shown, such as a "swatch" type powder box for eyeshadow, which receives an applicator element.

[0036] The packaging device 10 here has a generally parallelepiped shape. The packaging device includes a base 12 and a cover 16, the base forming a first receiving portion 14 for receiving at least one cosmetic product. The cover 16 is pivotally mounted on the base 12, about an axis of rotation A of the cover 16 relative to the base 12. Figure 1 The diagram shows the closed position of the receiving portion 14 in the base 12 and the plurality of open positions. Figure 2 The image shows one of the opening positions as an example, which is suitable for a user to obtain cosmetics P1-P5 for makeup application, for example, the user holds the base 12 with one hand and the applicator element with the other hand.

[0037] like Figure 3 Specifically visible is the cover 16, which includes a mounting member 18, a cover body 20 attached to the mounting member 18, and a mirror 22. (See image below) Figure 3 As shown, the base 12 includes a housing 24, a color plate 26 attached inside the housing 24, various cosmetics P1-P5 each received in a corresponding receiving portion of the color plate 26, and a protective member 28 for the color plate 26, particularly protecting the cosmetics P1-P5 received in the color plate 26. The protective member 28 may be in the form of a film or a shell and attached to the color plate 26.

[0038] First, the cover 16 of the packaging device 10 will be described in more detail.

[0039] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the mounting member 18 substantially forms a frame 30 and a base 32 extending substantially from the plane of the frame 30. The base 32 has a generally parallelepiped shape. The base 32 is hollow. The base 32 may in particular have a basin shape, opening on one surface. For example, as shown, the base 32 opens on a surface 33 adjacent to the frame 30. The base 32 has two cylindrical holes 34 having a circular cross-section, extending in a direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation A of the cover 16 relative to the base 12. On the surface of the base 32 oriented toward the interior of the packaging device 10 when the packaging device 10 is closed, the base 32 has a recess 36. A hole 38, here oblong, passes through the wall of the base 32 in a direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation A of the cover 16 relative to the base 12. The oblong hole 38 opens on one hand near the recess 36 and on the other hand inside the base 32. Preferably, the wall 40 of the base 32 opposite the wall having the hole 38 is solid. The wall of the hole 38 may have a protruding structure in the opening plane of the hole 38.

[0040] The frame 30 here has a generally rectangular shape. The frame 30 has a first edge 42 formed on its front surface oriented toward the base 12 of the packaging device 10.

[0041] The frame 30 also forms a recess 44 adapted to receive the mirror 22. Specifically, the frame 30 may form a support surface 46 for the outer peripheral portion of the mirror 22, which is arranged between the mirror 22 and the base 12 of the packaging device 10 in the closed position. The mirror 22 is thus adapted to be inserted into the recess 44 of the frame 30 from a surface oriented toward the cover 20 in the assembled packaging device 10. The support surface 46 is oriented toward the cover 20 of the cover portion 16.

[0042] The frame 30 also forms a first ridge 48 protruding relative to the recess 44. Here, two first ridges 48 are formed on two opposite sides of the frame 30. Each first ridge 48 serves to hold the mirror 22 in position within the recess 44. To achieve attachment of the mirror 22 in the frame 30, the mirror can be elastically deformable, thus allowing the mirror 22 to be inserted into the recess 44 despite the presence of the first ridges 48. The mirror 22 is thus attached to the mounting member 18, and in particular to the frame 30 of the mounting member 18, by a snap-fit ​​engagement. Preferably, no adhesive is used to attach the mirror 22 to the frame 30.

[0043] The frame 30 also has two notches 50 on its outer surface on the side opposite to the base 32. Also on the side opposite to the base 32, but on its inner surface, the frame 30 forms a first latch 52 having a resiliently deformable tongue and a rigid latch portion, in particular the latch portion being more rigid than the tongue.

[0044] The mirror 22 is preferably flat, and its shape is complementary to the shape of the groove 44 of the frame 30 of the mounting member 18 that receives it. The mirror 22 may in particular be formed from a metal sheet adhered to a glass plate. The surface of the glass plate opposite the metal sheet may be coated with a coating, particularly a mirror coating.

[0045] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the cover body 20 of the cover portion 16 is substantially basin-shaped, defining a second hollow receiving portion 53. The cover body 20 has a generally flat bottom 20f and an edge 20r extending around the bottom 20f, generally in a direction perpendicular to the bottom 20f. On one side, the cover body 20 forms a support 54 for an elastically deformable blade 56 in the extension of the edge 20r. A protruding protrusion 58 is formed on the blade 56. The support 54, the blade 56, and the protruding protrusion 58 may extend in different planes, particularly parallel planes. In particular, the extending plane of the blade 56 may be arranged between the extending plane of the support 54 and the extending plane of the protruding protrusion 58. The support 54 and the protruding protrusion 58 are here more rigid than the blade 56. The protruding protrusion 58 has a cross section complementary to the hole 38 of the base 32 of the mounting member 18. Here, the protruding protrusion 58 therefore has an elongated oval shape. The protruding protrusion 58 is formed, for example, by embossing, forging, or molding the blade 56.

[0046] On the side opposite to the support member 54, the cover 20 has a button 60 on the outer surface of the edge 20r. On the opposing surface oriented toward the interior of the cover 20, the edge 20r has a recess 62 opposite to the button 60. Furthermore, on both sides of the button 60, the cover 20 forms lugs 64 on the edge 20r that protrude toward the interior of the cover 20.

[0047] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the outer shell 24 of the base 12 also has a generally basin-shaped form, having a bottom 24f and an edge 24r extending around the bottom 24f in a direction perpendicular to the bottom 24f. The outer shell 24 also forms two tabs 66 spaced apart from each other, each tab having a cylindrical hole 68 having a circular cross-section. A receiving portion 70 is provided in each tab 66, each receiving portion being adapted to receive a tongue 71 of the corresponding color plate 66, which will be described later.

[0048] Two tabs 66, together with edge 24r, define a recess 72 in housing 24. The outer surface of edge 24r forms a ridge 74 protruding into the recess 70.

[0049] On the side opposite to the tab 66, the edge 24r of the housing 24 has two slots 76, which are straight slots. Between the two slots 76, the housing 24 forms a protruding mating strip 78 extending from the bottom 24f of the housing 24.

[0050] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the color plate 26 forms multiple recesses 80 suitable for receiving cosmetics P1-P5 respectively. Each cosmetic P1-P5 is, for example, foundation, lipstick, and eyeshadow. Each cosmetic P1-P5 is, for example, in the form of compressed powder, liquid, or gel. The color plate 26 is also provided with a receiving portion 82 for receiving one or (in this case) two applicator devices for cosmetics P1-P5.

[0051] The color plate 26 also has a through hole 84 near the first side. On the first side, the color plate 26 forms a first edge 86 having three protruding tabs 88 extending in the plane of the first edge 86. One of the tabs 88 (the central one) is disposed opposite a second tab 89, which retracts from the first tab 86, thereby surrounding the first opening 84 on the surface of the color plate 26 oriented toward the housing 24 of the base 12. The second tab 89 is substantially longer than the central tab 88 and preferably has substantially the same length as the two tabs 88 that are furthest apart from each other.

[0052] In addition, two protruding ridges 90 are also formed on the first edge 86, which are substantially opposite to the two protrusions 88 that are furthest apart from each other. The two ridges 90 extend from the plane of the rest of the first edge 86.

[0053] The color plate 26 forms a second edge 92 on the side opposite to the first edge 86. The second edge 92 forms two tongues 71 for snap-fit ​​engagement, the tongues 71 being intended to be received in the receiving portion 70 formed in the tab 66 of the housing 24.

[0054] Furthermore, the color plate 26 forms a second ridge 94 on the outer periphery of the area formed by the recess 80 and the receiving portion 82. The color plate 26 is adapted to be laid flat on a flat support together with the two second ridges 94 and the two protrusions 88 and the second protrusion 89 that are furthest apart from each other.

[0055] The packaging device 10 is assembled as follows, wherein, except for attaching the mirror 22 to the mounting piece 18, the steps can be performed in any order in principle, and in this case, the cover 20 is attached to the mounting piece 18.

[0056] The mirror 22 is first mounted on the mounting member 18 by a snap-fit, specifically in the complementary-shaped recess 44. The mirror 22 is inserted into the recess 44 from the surface of the mounting member 18 oriented towards the cover 20 of the cover portion 16 until it contacts the support surface 46. The mirror 22 is held in position by the shape of the recess 44 and by a first ridge 48 on the mounting member 18 that is substantially opposite to the support surface 46.

[0057] The cover 20 can then be attached to the mounting member 18. To do this, first insert the lug 64 of the cover 20 into the recess 50 of the mounting member 18. Then, the cover 20 is pivoted while retaining the lug 64 inside the mounting member 18. In this first step, the support 54, blade 56, and protrusion 58 of the cover 20 are then inserted into the base 32 through their opening surface 33. By continuing the pivoting movement of the cover 20, the protrusion 58 engages with the hole 38 formed in the base 32. The cover 20 is then attached to the mounting member 18.

[0058] The mounting member 18 can then be attached to the housing 24. For this purpose, the base 32 of the mounting member 18 is placed in the recess 72 between the tabs 66 of the housing 24, such that the hole 68 on the tabs 66 of the housing 24 is aligned with the hole 34 on the base 32 of the mounting member 18. Two cylindrical pins 96 with circular cross-sections are then inserted into the holes 68, 34. The pins 96 are mounted in the holes 68 of the tabs 66 of the housing 24, for example, by press-fit, while a gap is maintained between the wall of the hole 34 in the base 32 and the pins 96 to allow the mounting member 18 to pivot relative to the pins 96 and thus relative to the housing 24 about the axis of rotation A of the cover 16 relative to the base 12.

[0059] Next, as Figure 15 As shown, the color plate 26 is attached to the housing 24 via a snap-fit ​​mechanism. For this purpose, the protruding ridge 90 on the first edge 86 of the color plate 26 is inserted into the slot 76 of the housing 24. The color plate 26 is then pivoted until the tongue 71 of the color plate 26 snaps into the receiving portion 70 provided in the housing 24 for this purpose. Once attached to the housing 24, the color plate 26 rests on the second ridge 94 and the second protrusion 89 on the bottom 24f of the housing 24. The second ridge 94, which also extends from the side of the color plate 26, facilitates its wedging into the housing 24. Figure 13 As shown, in this position, the second tab 89 of the color plate 26 contacts the mating strip 78 extending from the bottom 24f of the housing 24, which helps to hold the color plate 26 in position within the housing 24.

[0060] The cover 16 can be closed on the base 12 by engaging the latch 52 of the mounting member 18 into the slot 84, wherein the beaded portion of the latch 52 engages with the protruding edge 98 of the slot 84, as... Figure 13 As shown.

[0061] The cover 16 can be opened by pulling the button 60 of the cover body 20 so that one end of the cover 16 can be separated from the base 12 by pivoting the cover 16 about its axis of rotation A.

[0062] The advantage of the packaging device 10 shown is that it can be disassembled without damaging the individual components it is made of, and no special tools are required.

[0063] Partial disassembly of the packaging device 10 may include removing the color plate 26 for replacement, for example when cosmetics P1-P5 have been used up. The new color plate 26, intended to be inserted into the base 12, may initially be covered by the protective member 28 and / or received in a closed bag, particularly a sealed bag.

[0064] However, as Figure 16 and Figure 17 Specifically, the cover 20 can also be removed from the mounting 18. This allows for the recovery of each component constituting the cover 16, particularly the mirror 22 attached to the mounting 18. To remove the cover 20 from the mounting 18, simply push the protrusion 58 out of the opening 38 in the base 32 of the mounting 18. This can be done when the cover 16, and particularly the cover 20, forms an angle of approximately 180° about the axis of rotation A relative to its closed position on the base 12. In this position, as... Figure 16 As shown, the protrusion 58 is easily accessible to the user because it protrudes from the surface of the mounting piece 18 on the front side of the cover 16 in the open position, as... Figure 16 As shown. Specifically, no tools are needed to push the protrusion 58 back out of the hole 38 in the base 32 of the mounting member 18. Once the protrusion 58 is pulled out of the hole 38, simply pivot the cover 20 relative to the mounting member 18, as shown. Figure 17 As shown.

[0065] It should be noted that when the packaging device 10 is closed, the protrusion 58 cannot be accessed to disengage the snap-fit ​​between the cover 20 and the mounting member 18, because the cover 16 closes the receiving portion 14 in the base 12. In fact, due to the specific shape of the base 32, and particularly the presence of the wall 40 of the base 32, when the packaging device 10 is closed, the protrusion 58 can only be operated from the outer surface of the packaging device 10 to pull it out of the hole 38. Furthermore, as... Figure 12 As shown, the presence of a protrusion 74 on the outer casing 24, located opposite the protrusion 58, makes it difficult to insert a tool through the slot 100 present in the mounting member 18 of the outer casing 24 and the cover 16 when the packaging device 10 is closed. Therefore, even when using a tool in the closed position of the packaging device 10, it is difficult to pull the protrusion 58 out of the hole 38. The slot 100 has, for example, a width of less than 5 mm, preferably less than 2 mm, to prevent the user from inserting their fingers into the slot 100 to manipulate the protrusion 58.

[0066] This disclosure is not limited to the examples described above by way of example only, but covers all variations that can be conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of protection sought.

[0067] Therefore, in the example shown, the mirror 22 is attached to the mounting member 18 of the cover 16. Alternatively, the mirror 22 may be clamped between the mounting member 18 of the cover 16 and the cover body 20 of the cover 16. In all cases, preferably, the mirror 22 rests on a surface oriented toward the cover body 20 via its outer peripheral portion. In this case, the mirror 22 can, in fact, be attached without the use of adhesives or other chemical attachment methods. Therefore, the mirror 22 can be easily removed from the cover 16 and can be easily recycled.

[0068] In the example shown, the cover 20 and the mounting member 18 are disassembled when the cover 16 forms an angle of approximately 180° with the closed position of the packaging device 10. This angle can be smaller. Preferably, the angle between the closed position of the cover 16 of the packaging device 10 and the position of the cover 16 that allows the tab 58 to be operated without the use of tools or coins to pull it out of the hole 38 is greater than 90°, and particularly greater than 120°.

[0069] Furthermore, in the example shown, the mounting member 18 of the cover 16 is pivotally attached to the base 12 about the axis of rotation A of the cover 16. Alternatively, the cover 16 may be pivotally attached to the base 12 about the axis of rotation A of the cover 16. Then the mounting member 18 may be attached only to the cover 16.

[0070] Furthermore, in the example shown, the cover 20 is attached to the mounting member 18 of the cover portion 16 by a snap-fit ​​engagement of a resilient tongue with a protrusion 58 received in the hole 38. However, those skilled in the art will recognize other snap-fit ​​structures that can be used to attach the cover 20 to the mounting member 18.

[0071] Finally, in the area shown, the support 54, blade 56, and protrusion 58 are integral, i.e., co-molded with the rest of the cover 20. However, according to a first alternative, the support 54 may be integral with the bottom 20f and edge 20r of the cover 20, the blade 56 and protrusion 58 are integral or rigidly attached together, and the assembly of the blade 56 and protrusion 58 is brought to and rigidly attached to the support 54. According to a second alternative, the support 54 and blade 56 are integral with the bottom 20f and edge 20r of the cover 20, and the protrusion 58 is brought to and rigidly attached to the blade 56. According to yet another alternative, the support 54 is also brought to and rigidly attached to the bottom 20f and edge 20r of the cover 20, and either the support 54 is integral with the blade 56, preferably with the protrusion 58, or the blade 56 is brought to and rigidly attached to the support 54. In the latter case, the protrusion 58 may be integral with the blade 56, or may be brought to and rigidly attached to the blade 56.
