Abstract
Description
Title of the invention: CASING FOR COSMETIC PRODUCTS, COSMETIC PRODUCT HOLDER, KIT FIELD
[0001] The field of the invention relates to "minaudière" type devices allowing the integration of different cosmetic products. The field of the invention relates more particularly to cases offering interchangeable modularity of cosmetic products and therefore modularity of use. STATE OF THE ART
[0002] Currently, there are cosmetic bags that allow them to be gathered in a single container. These containers, better known as minaudières, offer a practical storage space allowing the inclusion of a plurality of cosmetic products of different sizes. In addition, a minaudière allows the transport of cosmetic products in a handbag, for example.
[0003] A well-known problem is having the right products at the right time. So much so that it is necessary either to carry a large number of products with you, or to select them to place them in a bag or a minaudière.
[0004] The problem is that a minaudière remains a bulky item, sometimes impractical when you have selected a lipstick, a perfume and a foundation to carry.
[0005] There is therefore a need to define a support for transporting a reduced selection of cosmetic products which is compact and practical to transport. Summary of the invention
[0006] The method of the invention makes it possible to solve the aforementioned problems.
[0007] According to one aspect, the invention relates to a case for cosmetic products comprising:
[0008] • a compact frame having an upper face comprising a cavity adapted to receive by embedding a capsule intended to contain at least a first cosmetic product, said frame further comprising a lateral border comprising four faces, said frame comprising a first lateral cavity arranged along a first lateral face and opening into a region comprising the intersection of the planes comprising the first lateral face and a second lateral face adjacent to the first lateral face; • a first removable base forming a support for a cosmetic product and defining a first corner of the frame adapted to cooperate with the frame to close the first lateral cavity.
[0009] An advantage is to present a compact housing comprising elements cooperating with a housing frame and which can be interchanged.
[0010] According to one embodiment, the frame comprises a second lateral cavity parallel to the first lateral cavity and arranged along a third lateral face opposite the first lateral face, said second lateral cavity opening into a corner formed by the intersection of the planes comprising the third lateral face and a lateral face adjacent to the third lateral face.
[0011] According to one embodiment, the housing comprises a second removable base forming a first corner of the frame adapted to cooperate with the frame to close the second lateral cavity.
[0012] One advantage is to present a case comprising different elements in order to offer a multifunctional case and allowing each cosmetic product contained in a removable element to be interchanged.
[0013] According to one embodiment, the housing comprises an actuator for initiating the movement of a capsule release lug. One advantage is that it allows the capsule to be easily changed, in particular by simply pressing.
[0014] According to one embodiment, the housing comprises a first element fitting into the first cavity, said first element being fixed to the first base, said first base comprising an interior cavity intended to hold a tube itself comprising a lipstick stick. An advantage of transforming an element of the frame, here a corner, into a lipstick holder. This functionality makes it possible to obtain a good grip while providing an aesthetic support.
[0015] According to one embodiment, the base of the first element comprises a locking lug intended to cooperate with an opening of a lipstick tube holder, said locking lug making it possible to lock the position of the lipstick tube on the first base. An advantage is to keep the base integral with the lipstick.
[0016] According to one embodiment, the first element comprises a circumferential portion adapted to cooperate with the first lateral cavity so as to crimp the first element when it is embedded in the lateral cavity.
[0017] According to one embodiment, the base of the first element comprises a locking notch cooperating with a ball or a movable positioning lug arranged in the lateral cavity in order to make the first element integral with the frame. An advantage is to restore a mechanical return when the lipstick is embedded in the case.
[0018] According to one embodiment, the housing comprises a second element comprising a vaporizer and a container containing a liquid product, said second element fitting into the first cavity, the second base comprising a cavity in now the lower part of the container when closing said second base. An advantage is to make the base and the second element integral.
[0019] According to one embodiment, the housing comprises a pusher element arranged at the end of the second lateral cavity and cooperating with the vaporizer so as to cause an expulsion of the liquid product through a lateral opening of the housing. An advantage is to make the housing active in the function allowing an expulsion of a volume of perfume. This solution makes it possible not to remove the perfume container each time it is used.
[0020] According to one embodiment, the case comprises a set of points making it possible to define a regular polyhedron. One advantage is to define an aesthetic case comprising symmetries and improving the grip of the latter.
[0021] According to one embodiment, the surface of the side border is defined by a left curve. An advantage is to define an aesthetic and compact housing.
[0022] According to another aspect, the invention relates to a capsule for a cosmetic product comprising a receptacle adapted to cooperate with a housing of the invention. According to one embodiment, the capsule comprises a cover, said cover comprising a mirror on its inner face. An advantage of the capsule is that it comprises two functions, such as a blusher and a mirror, and can be embedded in a housing further comprising other elements.
[0023] According to another aspect, the invention relates to a lipstick comprising a tube comprising a lipstick stick, said lipstick further comprising a support cooperating with an interior cavity of a first base forming a corner of a case of the invention.
[0024] According to one embodiment, the lipstick comprises an opening arranged on the lower surface of the support cooperating with a locking lug, said locking being activated by pushing the lug into the opening of the support and by rotating the support with respect to the base. An advantage is to simply lock the lipstick onto a removable base of the case.
[0025] According to another aspect, the invention relates to a perfume vaporization device comprising a head forming the vaporizer and fixed to a container containing a perfume-type liquid, said head being made movable relative to the container according to a degree of freedom in order to take a volume of perfume to vaporize it, said head comprising a profile intended to cooperate with a lateral cavity of a housing, said head further comprising a vaporization outlet aligned with a lateral opening formed on a lateral face of the lateral cavity of the housing. An advantage is to make it possible to obtain numerous perfumes which can be interchanged in the same housing with other cosmetic products.
[0026] According to another aspect, the invention relates to a kit comprising a plurality of elements including at least one lipstick, at least one perfume spray device and at least one capsule for a cosmetic product, said elements being intended to cooperate with at least one cavity of the same housing. According to one embodiment, the lipstick is a lipstick of the invention. According to one embodiment, the spray device is a spray device of the invention.
