Description

Title of the invention: Receptacle for a product, in particular a cosmetic product,

[0001] The invention relates to a receptacle for a product, in particular a cosmetic product.

[0002] To close a receptacle comprising a pot and a lid, it is well known to operate by screwing the lid onto the pot. In such a case, the lid is positioned on the pot in the high position, at a given angular location corresponding to that where the threads of the lid are engaged with the threads of the pot, then the user performs the screwing to a low position of the lid corresponding to a closed position of the receptacle. A disadvantage of this solution is that the effort required is sometimes too great, particularly for people who have difficulty performing a screwing or unscrewing movement.

[0003] Bayonet-type closing movements are also known in which an axial movement is followed by a rotation. At the end of this movement, shapes of the lid are in contact with shapes of the pot to keep the lid closed. However, the contact area between these shapes cannot exceed a certain angular extent otherwise the shapes used would come into conflict with each other during the closing movement. The contact area therefore remains limited. On the other hand, the angular amplitude to reach the closed position of the receptacle is relatively large.

[0004] However, while a limited quality closure may possibly be sufficient for powdered cosmetic products, it is not satisfactory for more fragile products such as cosmetic products in cream or liquid form.

[0005] The invention aims to at least partially overcome the above drawbacks and to this end proposes a receptacle for a product, in particular a cosmetic product, said receptacle having an axis, called a longitudinal axis, and comprising a pot and a lid of said pot, said pot having first radial protrusions as well as second radial protrusions, having at least one axial offset relative to the first protrusions of the pot, said lid having first radial protrusions as well as second radial protrusions, having at least one axial offset relative to the second protrusions of the lid, said first protrusions of the pot and / or the lid extending over a first part of a circumference of said receptacle, said second protrusions of the pot and / or the lid extending over a second part of a circumference of said receptacle,said first and second protrusions being configured to cooperate with each other so as to obtain first and second contact zones respectively, tively on the one hand, between the first protrusions of the pot and the first protrusions of the lid and, on the other hand, between the second protrusions of the pot and the second protrusions of the lid in a closed position of said receptacle.

[0006] Thus, in the closed position, the first protrusions form a first row of protrusions substantially located at the same first level along the longitudinal axis of the receptacle, on the one hand, on the pot and, on the other hand, on the lid. Similarly, the second protrusions form a second row of protrusions substantially located at the same second level along the longitudinal axis of the receptacle, on the one hand, on the pot and, on the other hand, on the lid.

[0007] The axial offset between the protrusions of the first row and those of the second row is intended so that the protrusions of one of the rows angularly complement those of the other row by providing a space for the protrusions of one of the rows of the cover between two rows of the protrusions of the pot.

[0008] In this way, even if the outgrowths of the same row are angularly discontinuous, the angular span of the contact zones between the outgrowths of the first row combine with that of the contact zones between the outgrowths of the second row, to form an overall contact zone without causing conflict zones between the outgrowths.

[0009] According to a first preferred aspect of the invention, said first and second contact zones cumulatively extend over more than 180°, or even over more than 270°, said receptacle comprising a sealing gasket, said gasket being configured to be compressed between said pot and said lid at least in said closed position.

[0010] This provides enhanced sealing, without resorting to screwing, or at least without resorting to screwing over the entire travel of the cover along the longitudinal axis of the receptacle. Indeed, since the contact zones extend over a large proportion of the periphery of the receptacle, the seal is compressed more uniformly.

[0011] According to another preferred aspect of the invention, which will be combined or not with the previous one, said first and second protrusions are configured to engage respectively against each other to close the receptacle according to a movement, called bayonet movement, comprising at least one rotation around said longitudinal axis, said rotation being less than a cumulative angular amplitude of a first and a second of said protrusions adjacent to the pot and / or a cumulative angular amplitude of a first and a second of said protrusions adjacent to the cover.

[0012] This provides a closure of the cover which can be obtained with rotational movement of the cover having a limited angular amplitude.

[0013] According to various additional characteristics of the invention, which may be taken together or separately and which form as many embodiments of the invention: - said bayonet movement further comprises an axial translation of said cover relative to said pot to bring the first protrusions of the cover into axial correspondence with the first protrusions of the pot and the second protrusions of the cover into axial correspondence with the second protrusions of the pot, said translation being followed at least by said rotation, - a free edge of the first protrusions of the pot is radially set back from a free edge of the second protrusions of the pot to allow passage of said second protrusions of the lid in front of said first protrusions of the pot during opening and / or closing of said receptacle, in particular during said translation, and a free edge of the first protrusions of the lid is radially in front of a free edge of the second protrusions of the lid to allow said first contact zones to be produced between said first protrusions of the pot and said first protrusions of the lid, - the first growths of the lid and the first growths of the pot have approximately the same angular size, - the second outgrowths of the lid and the second outgrowths of the pot have approximately the same angular span, - the first protrusions of the pot are four in number, the second protrusions of the pot are four in number, the first protrusions of the lid are four in number and the second protrusions of the lid are four in number, said first and second protrusions of the pot and of the lid having an angular span of approximately 45°, - a height of said first and / or second protrusions is substantially identical to the axial offset between said first and second protrusions;

[0014] The invention will be better understood, and other aims, details, characteristics and advantages thereof will appear more clearly during the detailed explanatory description which follows, of at least one embodiment of the invention given by way of purely illustrative and non-limiting example, with reference to the appended schematic drawings among which:

[0018] [Fig.4] schematically illustrates a detail of [Fig.2];

[0019] [Fig.5] shows the same detail as [Fig.5] but in a position close to the closed position of the receptacle;

[0020] [Fig.6] schematically illustrates, in perspective, a partial view of the pot of the re receptacle of the preceding figures, in a part intended to receive a ring of the receptacle;

[0021] [Fig.7] schematically illustrates in perspective the ring mentioned above in relation with [Fig.6];

[0022] [Fig.8] schematically illustrates in perspective an area of ​​the receptacle pot figures 1 and 2 from a side view angle;

[0023] [Fig.9] schematically illustrates, along a longitudinal section plane, a part top of the receptacle of figures 1 and 2, in the closed position.

[0024] As illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, the invention relates to a receptacle 1 for a product, in particular a cosmetic product. This is, for example, a powder, semi-liquid or liquid product such as a foundation, a cream, a lotion or the like.

[0025] Said receptacle having an axis X, called longitudinal. It comprises a pot 2 and a cover 4 of said pot 2. Said pot 2 here has a substantially cylindrical shape with a bottom 6 and a side wall 8 extending from said bottom 6 along said longitudinal axis X. Said cover 4 has an upper wall 10 and a side skirt 12 extending from said upper wall 10 to cooperate with the side wall 8 of the pot 2. Said skirt 10 extends along the longitudinal axis X, at least in a closed position of the receptacle, as in [Fig.l].

[0026] To open and / or close the receptacle 1, as is better seen in [Fig. 2] where the receptacle is open, said pot 2 and said cover 4 have first radial protrusions 14, 16 extending angularly over a first part of a circumference of said receptacle, as well as second radial protrusions 14', 16', offset at least axially with respect to the first protrusions 14, 16 and extending over a second part of said circumference. In other words, the first protrusions 14, 16 form a first row of protrusions substantially located, in the closed position, at the same first level along the longitudinal axis X of the receptacle, on the one hand, on the pot 2 for the protrusions marked 14 and, on the other hand, on the cover 4 for the protrusions marked 16. Similarly, the second protrusions 14', 16' form a second row of protrusions substantially located, in the closed position, at the same second level along the longitudinal axis X of the receptacle, on the one hand, on the pot 2 for the protrusions marked 14' and, on the other hand, on the cover 4 for the protrusions marked 16'. Alternatively, the receptacle comprises three or more rows of protrusions, each row being axially offset from each other and the protrusions of the different rows covering respective angular portions. All of said protrusions 14, 14' of the pot 2 extend radially towards the outside of the pot 2 and all of the protrusions 16, 16' of the cover 4 extend radially towards the inside of the cover 4.

[0027] The first row of protrusions 14 of the pot 2 is located near a free edge 9 of the side wall 8 of the pot 2 and the second row of protrusions 14' of the pot 2 is located below. The second row of protrusions 16' of the cover 4 is located near a free lateral edge 11 of the side skirt 12 of the cover 4 and the first row of protrusions 16 of said cover 4 is located between said first row of protrusions 16' of the cover 4 and the upper wall 10 of said cover 4.

[0028] The radial offset between the protrusions 14, 16 of the first row and those 14', 16' of the second row is intended so that the protrusions of the cover 4 of one of the rows, here the protrusions 16', do not come into abutment against the protrusions of the pot 2 of the other row, here the protrusions 14, during an introduction of the cover 4 onto the pot 2 according to a movement along the longitudinal axis X of the receptacle.

[0029] The axial offset between the protrusions 14, 16 of the first row and those 14', 16' of the second row is intended so that the protrusions of one of the rows angularly complement those of the other row by providing a passage 18 for the protrusions of one of the rows of the cover 4, here the protrusions 16, between the two rows of the protrusions 14, 14' of the pot 2 during a rotation of the cover 4 relative to the pot 2 around the longitudinal axis X of the receptacle.

[0030] Said first and second protrusions 14, 16 and 14', 16' are configured to cooperate respectively with each other so as to obtain contact zones.

[0031] In other words, said first protrusions 14 of the pot 2 and said first protrusions 16 of the lid 4 are configured to engage respectively against each other to close the receptacle. Said second protrusions 14' of the pot 2 and said second protrusions 16' of the lid 4 are also configured to engage against each other to close the receptacle.

[0032] Said contact zones are distributed over the entire circumference of said circumference, said contact zones extending angularly over at least 270° in the closed position of said receptacle. In other words, if we add the angular span areas in which said first protrusions 14 of the pot 2 are in contact with said first protrusions 16 of the cover 4 as well as that of the areas in which said second protrusions 14' of the pot 2 and said second protrusions 16' of the cover 4 are in contact, in the closed position of the receptacle, the total angular span of these contact areas reaches and / or exceeds 270°.

[0033] With such an angular span, made possible by the distribution of the protrusions in at least two rows, the contact zone according to the invention allows improved sealing without resorting to, or only partially, screwing.

[0034] As is more visible in views 3a to 3c, preferably, said first and second protrusions 14, 16, 14', 16' are configured to engage respectively against each other to close the receptacle according to a movement, called a bayonet movement, comprising an axial translation of said cover 4, according to the arrow marked 20, relative to said pot 2 followed by a rotation around said longitudinal axis X, according to the arrow marked 22. In other words, with the two rows of protrusions, the receptacle according to the invention comprises a double bayonet closing system.

[0035] In view 3a, the cover 4 is in a high position relative to the pot 2 and its protrusions 16, 16' are all above the protrusions 14, 14' of the pot 2. In view 3b, the cover 4 is in a low position relative to the pot 2 and its protrusions of the first row 16 are below the axial level of the protrusions of the first row 14 of the pot 2 while the protrusions 16' of the second row of the cover 2 are below the axial level of the protrusions 14 of the second row of the pot 2. For this, the protrusions 16' of the second row of the cover 4 have passed in front of the protrusions 14 of the first row of the pot, thanks to the radial withdrawal of the latter. Still in view 3b, the outgrowths 14, 16 and 14', 16' of the same row are angularly offset from each other. More precisely, they are staggered or, in other words, in phase opposition.In view 3c, after rotation, they are now mutually opposite each other or, in other words, in phase.

[0036] Advantageously, the first protrusions 16 of the cover 4 and the first protrusions 14 of the pot 2 have substantially the same angular span. Cumulatively or alternatively, the second protrusions 16' of the cover 4 and the second protrusions 14' of the pot 2 have substantially the same angular span. Still cumulatively or alternatively, said first and second parts of the circumference are complementary to each other over substantially the entirety of said circumference. In the illustrated embodiment, all of these characteristics are combined and, in the closed position, an angular positioning of each of the first protrusions 14, 16 corresponds to each other to form a contact zone over their entire angular span. The same applies to the second protrusions 14', 16'. In addition, the contact zones thus formed follow one another angularly over almost the entire circumference of the receptacle, with the axial offset between the first and second rows.

[0037] More precisely, the first protrusions 14 of the pot 2 are four in number, the second protrusions 14' of the pot 2 are four in number, the first protrusions 16 of the cover 4 are four in number and the second protrusions of the cover 4 are four in number, said first and second protrusions 14, 14', 16, 16' of the pot 2 and of the cover 4 having an angular span of approximately 45°. This is only an example making it possible to have a total amplitude of contact zones of 360° and another number n of protrusions is possible, the angular amplitude of the protrusions then being 3607n.

[0038] As a variant, not illustrated, the first and / or second protrusions 14, 14' of the pot 2 or the first and / or second protrusions 16, 16' of the cover 4 are formed of pins having tangential contact with the corresponding protrusions.

[0039] Advantageously, a height of said protrusions, more particularly of said second protrusions 16' of the cover 2 is substantially identical to the axial offset between said first and second protrusions 14, 16, 14', 16'. Said second protrusions 16' of the cover 2 thus obstruct, at least partially, the passage 18 mentioned above, including in the closed position of the receptacle.

[0040] Again advantageously, an angular span of said first and / or second protrusions 14, 16, 14', 16' is substantially identical to an angular span of said rotation around the longitudinal axis X. This makes it possible to ensure that the protrusions of the cover 4 are indeed opposite the protrusions of the pot 2 in the closed position.

[0041] By way of example, an angle of said rotation around the longitudinal axis X is between 30 and 60°, in particular approximately 45°. In the illustrated embodiment, each row thus comprises eight protrusions to arrive at a total angular amplitude of nearly 360°, accumulating the angular span of the protrusions 14, 16, 14', 16' of the two rows.

[0042] As illustrated in Figures 4 and 5, to facilitate handling of the cover 4, said receptacle comprises an articulation 24 of the cover 4 on the pot 2 making it possible to keep the cover 4 secured to the pot 2. Said articulation 24 is configured so that, when closing the receptacle, the bayonet movement is preceded by a rotation of the cover 4 around an articulation axis Y, according to the arrow marked 25. Said articulation axis is orthogonal to said longitudinal axis X. The rotation of said cover 2 around the hinge axis Y is, for example, approximately 180°.

[0043] To allow said bayonet movement, said articulation 24 and with it said articulation axis Y are movable in translation along said longitudinal axis X and in rotation around said longitudinal axis X, relative to the pot 2. Said articulation 24 here comprises for this purpose a ring 26 movable in rotation on the pot 2 around said longitudinal axis X.

[0044] As illustrated in Figure 6, said pot 2 comprises a groove 28 inside which said ring 26 is housed. In [Fig.6], the ring 26 has not been illustrated in order to see the detail of the groove 28. Said groove 28 is formed under the second row of protrusions 14' of the pot 2. It allows the degree of freedom in rotation of the ring 26 mentioned above.

[0045] Also referring to [Fig.7], it can be seen that said groove 28 and said ring 26 mutually define one or more angular stops 30, 32 for rotation of the ring around said longitudinal axis X.

[0046] More precisely, here, a first 30 of the angular stops corresponds to a position of movement of the cover around the articulation axis Y and / or to a position of start of travel of the bayonet movement. A second 32 of the angular stops corresponds to an end of travel position of the bayonet movement and therefore to the closed position of the receptacle.

[0047] Said ring 26 comprises at least one angular groove 34 projecting radially inwards from an annular portion of said ring 26. Said groove 34 has opposite angular ends 36, 38 and a possible notch 40, located here close to a first 36 of said angular ends. Said groove 28 comprises counterforms 42, 44 and a possible snap-fastening pin 46. Said counterforms 42, 44 and said pin 46 project radially outwards from a bottom of said groove 28. Said snap-fastening pin 46 is located close to a first 42 of said counterforms.

[0048] Said first 30 of the angular stops of the ring 26 in the groove 28 is formed, for example, of the first 36 of the angular ends of the groove 34, said first 36 of the angular ends of the groove 34 being intended to come into abutment against the first 42 of the counterforms in the position in question. In this latter position, said pin 46 is then advantageously snapped into the notch 40. In other words, said first stop comprises a notch for snapping the ring 26 onto the pot 2.

[0049] The second 32 of the angular stops of the ring 26 in the groove 28 is formed, for example, of the second 38 of the angular ends of the groove 34, said second 38 of the angular ends of the groove 34 being intended to come into abutment against the second 44 of the counterforms. Said first and second counterforms 42, 44 are here at a distance from each other. Alternatively, they are angularly continuous with each other and form a single counterform and the stops 30, 32 are formed, on the ring 26 side, by the opposite angular ends of said same counterform.

[0050] To move from the open position illustrated in [Fig. 1] to the closed position illustrated in [Fig. 2], as will have been understood, the user first folds the cover 4 onto the pot 2 by a rotational movement of 180° around the articulation axis Y according to the arrow 25. During this movement, the ring 26 is in abutment in the groove 28, with snap-fastening. Once the cover 4 is folded onto the pot 2, it has already traveled the translation part along the longitudinal axis X of the bayonet movement and the protrusions 16, 16' of the cover 4 are axially below the protrusions 14, 14' of the pot, this being respectively for each of the rows of protrusions, as in view 3b. The cover 2 is then rotated around the longitudinal axis X according to the arrow 22 until the ring 26 is at the end of its travel. This end of travel is marked by the second stop 32.The receptacle is then in its closed position, the protrusions 14, 14', 16, 16' of the pot 2 and the cover 4 being mutually corresponding in their respective rows, as in view 3c. To open the receptacle, a reverse movement is carried out.

[0051] If we refer again to Figures 4 and 5, we see that said articulation 24 here comprises a hinge 48, movable in rotation about said articulation axis Y and / or in translation along said longitudinal axis X, according to the arrow 20, and a bearing 50 inside which said hinge 48 is articulated. Said bearing 50 has an oblong orifice 52 inside which pins 54 of said hinge 48 are movable in rotation about said articulation axis Y and / or in translation along said longitudinal axis X. Said hinge 48 is connected to said cover 4, in particular made from the material of said cover 4. Said bearing 50 is connected to said ring 26, in particular made from the material of said ring 26.

[0052] As is better seen in [Fig. 8], said pot 2 has a stepped configuration according to a first stage 50 and a second stage 52. Said first stage 50 extends axially from the upper edge 9 of said pot 2 to the second stage 52. The second stage 52 extends axially from the first stage 50 to an upper edge 54 of the groove receiving the seal 26. The first stage 50 has a radial extension less than that of the second stage, in particular by a reduction in thickness of the side wall 8 of the pot 2. As a variant, not illustrated, cumulatively or alternatively, said cover has such a stepped configuration.

[0053] Said first protrusions 14 of the pot 2 are located at the level of the first stage 50. Said second protrusions 14' of the pot 2 are located at the level of said second stage 52. Said first and second protrusions 14, 14' of the pot 2 have a substantially identical radial extension from a lateral flank of the pot so that said first protrusions 14 of the pot 2 have a distal edge 56 offset radially, set back, relative to the lateral flank of the pot 2 at the level of said second stage 52 and therefore relative to said second protrusions 14' of the pot 2 (this is also visible in [Fig.4]).

[0054] Said first protrusions 16 of the cover 4 have a radial extension greater than those of the second extensions 16' of the cover 4. Such a radial extension, combined with the radial withdrawal of the first extensions 14 of the pot 2, allows the second protrusions 16' of the cover 4 to pass in front of the first protrusions 14 of the pot 2 during the translation of the cover 4 along the longitudinal axis X, as mentioned above, while allowing the first protrusions 16 of the cover 4 to engage with said first extensions 14 of the pot 2 during the rotation of the cover 4 about the longitudinal axis X, this despite the radial withdrawal of said first extensions 14 of the pot 2.

[0055] Advantageously, said first extensions 14, 16 of the pot 2 and of the cover 4 are formed of complementary patterns. The same is true of the second extensions 14', 16'. Said complementary patterns have facing faces in the form of ramps 60, 62, in particular substantially helical. Said ramps 60, 62 are intended to engage against each other, thanks to a profile of said ramps, during the angular travel described by the cover 2 during its rotation around said longitudinal axis X, in particular at mid-travel. In other words, according to this example, a first half of the angular travel of the cover 4 is free, without the protrusions engaging against each other. During the second half of the travel, the protrusions are engaged against each other to reach the end-of-travel position. In this sense, the said ramps present a point of inflection.In other words, the slope of said ramps is more pronounced downstream of said inflection point than upstream, in the direction of rotation. It should be noted that this is not possible with conventional screwing.

[0056] In the illustrated embodiment, this implies that the rotation phase of the bayonet movement has a slight screwing component due to the inclination of the ramps 60, 62, this during the second part of the angular travel of the cover around the longitudinal axis X. This component is however lower, or even much lower than the component coming from the previous phase of translation of the cover 2 along said longitudinal axis X. Such a difference is visible in [Fig. 5] where the cover 4 is not yet bearing against the ring 26. Indeed, in this figure, the translation phase along the X axis is finished and the passage of the cover 4 into bearing against the ring 26 will come from the additional descent of the cover 4 generated by the inclination of said ramps 60, 62.

[0057] The faces of the protrusions 14, 14', 16, 16' opposite those in the form of a ramp are, for example, perpendicular to said longitudinal axis X.

[0058] Said protrusions 16, 16' of the cover 4 are here interrupted by a radial slot 64. Said radial slot 64 is located angularly, for example, substantially halfway. On the cover 4 side, said slot 64 advantageously forms the inflection point mentioned above.

[0059] As illustrated in [Fig.9], advantageously, said receptacle 1 has a seal 70 intended to be compressed during the closing movement. Said seal 70 is preferably configured so as to be compressed during the second part of the rotation of the cover 4 around the longitudinal axis X. In other words, the ramp(s) 60, 62 of the protrusions serve to compress said seal 70, in particular during the second part of the rotation of the cover 4 around the longitudinal axis X.

[0060] Said cover 4 here comprises a covering hood 72 receiving said seal 70, preferably leaving said seal 70 free to rotate around said longitudinal axis X, at least during said bayonet movement. Said first and second protrusions 16, 16' of said cover 4 come from said cover 72. Said hinge 48 also comes from said cover 72.

[0061] Said seal 70 comprises, for example, a disc 74 made of compressible material and a rigid support 76. Said disc 74 is connected to said support 76. Said support 76 is free to rotate in said cover 72 around said longitudinal axis X, at least during said bayonet movement. Said support 76 is, for example, snapped onto said cover 72, in particular in a groove 78 of said cover 72.

[0062] Said pot 2 here comprises a housing 80 defining a housing 82 and the receptacle 1 comprises a removable capsule 84, located in said housing 82. Said capsule 84 is intended to accommodate said product. Said capsule 84 has a lip 86 (visible [Fig.2]) intended to compress said seal 70 when closing the lid 4. Said first and / or second protrusions 14, 14' of the pot 2 come from said housing 80.

[0063] Referring again to Figures 1 and 5, it can be seen that the external diameters of said pot 2, said cover 4 and / or said ring 28 are substantially identical. Alternatively or cumulatively, the cover 4 is in axial abutment against the ring 26 and / or the ring 26 is in axial abutment against the pot 2, in the closed position. These characteristics contribute to giving the receptacle a uniform appearance in the closed position.

[0064] It should also be noted that, in particular in the absence of a ring, the receptacle is advantageously provided with an end-of-travel click, in particular formed by corresponding shapes on the pot 2 and / or the cover 4, one of the shapes being located for example on a free edge of the pot 2 to cooperate with a shape of the bottom of the cover. 4 or, alternatively, on an upper face of the first and second protrusions 14, 14' of the pot 2, or at least of one of them, to cooperate with the corresponding slot(s) 64 of the first and second protrusions 16, 16' of the cover 4.
