Description

Title of the invention: Display stand for a lipstick-type cosmetic product for a person with reduced mobility technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of presentation of cosmetic products.

[0002] In particular, the present invention relates to the presentation, support and use of devices for packaging and applying cosmetic products intended for people with reduced mobility.

[0003] In general, the invention applies to the presentation of cosmetic product packaging and application devices such as those commonly found in commerce, said presentation allowing simplified use of said cosmetic product packaging and application devices for persons with reduced mobility. Previous techniques

[0004] Cosmetic product packaging and application devices, namely cosmetic products packaged in a particular packaging commonly found in the trade and containing, for example and without limitation, mascara, lipstick, pencil, foundation, or eyeshadow, are generally packaged in such a way as to be able to be used by persons with full physical capacity for manual grasping.

[0005] For example, cosmetic product packaging and application devices often include a threaded section for resealing a mascara tube with a cap, or a rotating element for dispensing a lipstick from its packaging within a device for packaging and applying said lipstick, or a clip-on element between a protective cap and a container. These packages therefore require the user to be able to perform a rotating or back-and-forth motion, particularly with mascara, using their hand.

[0006] However, such a movement is sometimes not feasible for certain people with reduced mobility who, due to an accident or illness, can no longer perform it and, consequently, cannot apply cosmetic products to themselves. Such disabilities arise, for example, from spasticity, tremors, the loss of an upper limb, or a loss of strength.

[0007] The production of packaging specific to each particular morphology is difficult to envisage on a large scale and would involve significant development costs. lisation.

[0008] In addition, people with reduced mobility, in a problem of inclusion and simplicity of purchase, are looking for solutions that can allow them to use the same packaged cosmetic products as people with full mobility. Description of the invention

[0009] The present invention therefore aims to provide a support and a case for the presentation of cosmetic products facilitating access and use of packaged cosmetic products by people with reduced mobility.

[0010] The present invention relates to a support for a device for conditioning and applying a stick of cosmetic product, the support comprising a housing defining an internal volume for receiving said device and being provided with an opening for inserting said device into the internal volume, the housing comprising at least one internal bead extending radially inside the internal receiving volume and delimiting a stopping surface for one end of said device inserted into the internal volume, the support comprising a motor configured to rotate the housing around the longitudinal axis of the housing.

[0011] Thus, a device for conditioning and applying a cosmetic product stick positioned in the support is easily accessible for a person with reduced mobility, who does not have to make a manual rotation movement to remove the cosmetic product stick.

[0012] Advantageously, the support includes an annular seal configured to be positioned axially between the internal bead and the device inserted into the internal volume.

[0013] In one embodiment, the internal volume comprises a first part between the insertion opening and the internal bead configured to accommodate the device, and a second part between a base of the housing and the internal bead configured to accommodate the cosmetic product stick extending from the inside of the device in an exit position of said stick.

[0014] In one embodiment, the internal volume of the case is configured to accommodate a casing of the device comprising the cosmetic product stick, the device further comprising a wheel rotating relative to the casing and along the longitudinal axis of the device so as to allow the longitudinal movement of the cosmetic product stick, the case being configured to allow the rotating wheel to extend outside the internal volume.

[0015] Advantageously, the support includes a detector of a free end of the cosmetic product stick when said cosmetic product stick extends into the volume internal support.

[0016] Advantageously, the detector includes a photoelectric cell.

[0017] The present invention also relates to a kit comprising a support as described above and a device for conditioning and applying a stick of cosmetic product, preferably a lipstick stick.

[0018] The present invention also relates to a module of a modular container box for the presentation and support of at least one cosmetic product, the module comprising a support or kit as described above, each module being configured to be removably mounted on another adjacent module.

[0019] The present invention further relates to a case for the presentation and support of at least one device for packaging and applying a cosmetic product comprising a container and a lid mounted movably on the container between a closed position and an open position for accessing said device, the container comprising a module as defined above, the lid comprising at least one closure device configured to exert pressure on a rotating wheel of the device positioned outside the internal volume when the device is inserted into the internal volume of the support and when the lid is in the closed position.

[0020] Thus, a cosmetic product conditioning and application device positioned in the box is protected and easily accessible for a person with reduced mobility, while allowing the said conditioning device to be closed and / or kept closed.

[0021] Advantageously, the module includes a support as described above, the housing further including a means for rotating the motor of the support when the detector does not detect a free end of the cosmetic product stick in the internal volume of the support and when the lid is in the closed position.

[0022] The enclosure may further include at least one human-machine interface communicating with a control unit. The human-machine interface may include a display screen, in particular an LED screen, and / or control buttons and / or control keys, located for example on a chair and / or on a ring and / or on a bracelet and / or on a diabolo.

[0023] The interface can offer various functions and / or programs allowing, for example, the adjustment of certain operating parameters of the box, or the indication of certain information to the user, such as the battery level, the time of use, the product level, user-specific information, or information relating to the safety and / or conditions of use of the box.

[0024] The interface may allow the selection of an operating mode for processing different body areas.

[0025] The interface can communicate via a wired or wireless connection, for example via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, with a terminal such as a mobile phone, a tablet, a computer in order, for example, to receive updates or send data related to the use of the box.

[0026] The enclosure may be equipped with a stabilizing device as described in US patent 11458062B2, capable of stabilizing the enclosure in response to a movement caused by a user, comprising: a receiver configured to be coupled to the enclosure; at least one sensor configured to detect a movement caused by a user; circuits configured to determine a compensating movement to compensate for the detected movement; and at least one motion-generating device integrated into the receiver configured to control a movement of the enclosure as a function of the determined compensating movement.

[0041] Detailed description of at least one embodiment

[0042] Figure 1 schematically represents a case 1 for the presentation and support of at least one device 3 for packaging and applying a cosmetic product. The cosmetic product is, for example, but not limited to, mascara, lipstick, eyeliner, foundation, or eyeshadow. Several devices 3 for packaging and applying cosmetic products can be presented within this case 1.

[0043] The box 1 includes a container 5 and a lid 7 movably mounted on the container between a closed position PF and an open position PO providing access to said device 3. A device 3 for conditioning and applying a cosmetic product can thus be positioned in the container and protected from humid or excessively dry air by it, while waiting to be used by a user.

[0044] According to one embodiment, the enclosure 1 includes a user presence detector 9 and a motor 11 configured to move the cover 7 between its open position PO and its closed position PF and vice versa, based on signals transmitted by the presence detector 9. A person with reduced mobility can therefore approach the presence detector 9 and trigger the automatic opening of the cover 7, facilitating its use. Advantageously, the presence detector is capable of detecting the presence of the user's hand. The cover 7 can then close when the presence detector 9 no longer detects the user, or after a certain period of time spent in the open position PO.

[0045] For example, the presence detector 9 is positioned on the container 5.

[0046] In a particular embodiment, the presence detector 9 includes a photoelectric cell.

[0047] Alternatively, the presence detector 9 can be replaced by a button or a remote control, or even by a voice control system with visual recognition.

[0048] Advantageously, the box 1 includes a limit switch positioned on the lid 7 or on the container 5. This limit switch allows a signal to be sent stopping the rotation of the motor 11 when the lid 7 has reached either the open position PO or the closed position PF.

[0049] Advantageously, the kit 1 includes an anti-pinch sensor positioned on the cover 7 or on the container 5. This anti-pinch sensor makes it possible to send a signal stopping the rotation of the motor 11 when said anti-pinch sensor detects a limb of a user or an object positioned between the cover 7 and the container 5.

[0050] According to one embodiment, the container 5 includes at least one support 13 configured to support the device 3 for conditioning and applying a cosmetic product.

[0051] According to various embodiments, the support 13 is mounted on the container 5 by means of a clamp attached to a mechanical arm, or by means of a molded surface configured to fit the shape of said support 13.

[0052] In particular, the container 5 may include several supports 13 each configured to support a device 3 for packaging and applying a cosmetic product, for example a support 13 for a device 3 for packaging and applying a stick 15 of a cosmetic product such as lipstick, or a support for a device 3 for packaging and applying a cosmetic product such as foundation.

[0053] Advantageously, the box 1 includes a base 17 supporting the container 5 when the box 1 is placed on a support surface by means of said base 17.

[0054] The box 1 advantageously includes a power supply by the mains and / or by a battery, one and / or the other preferably being positioned in the base 17.

[0055] Advantageously, the support 13 is inclined so that the longitudinal axis X-X' of the cosmetic product conditioning and application device 3 supported by the support 13 is inclined, for example at an angle between 20° and 70°, preferably between 30° and 45° with respect to the plane defined by the base 17. This inclination allows a better grip on the cosmetic product conditioning and application device 3 by a user of the box 1.

[0056] According to one embodiment, in particular illustrated in [Fig.2], the container 5 is modular and includes at least one module 19 comprising the support 13 for supporting the device 3 for conditioning and applying a cosmetic product.

[0057] In particular, in the embodiment shown, the container 5 comprises a plurality of modules 19, each module 19 comprising a support 13 for supporting a device 3 for packaging and applying a cosmetic product, each module 19 being removably mounted on an adjacent module 19. Each module is, for example, provided with male and female attachment means 21.

[0058] A modular container 5 allows a user to purchase only the number of modules 19 necessary for their use and thus to offer a customizable box 1.

[0059] According to a particular embodiment, the lid 7 is modular and includes at least one modular portion 23 of lid 7 positioned opposite a module of the container 5 when the lid 7 is in the closed position PF, each modular portion 23 of lid 7 being configured to be removably mounted to another modular portion 23 of lid 7.

[0060] Thus, a box 1 can include an assembly of sub-boxes each consisting of a module 19 of the container 5 and a modular portion 23 of the lid 7, each sub-box being able to be purchased separately and added in a modular manner to form the box 1.

[0061] In one embodiment, the motor 11 is positioned on the container 5, for example near a hinge 25 connecting the lid 7 and the container 5, the motor 11 actuating the hinge 25 allowing the lid 7 to move between its open position PO and its closed position PF.

[0062] In a particular embodiment, the container 5 comprises a first flange 27 and a second flange 29 positioned face to face at opposite ends of the container 5 so as to define an internal volume 31 of the container 5 in which the module(s) 19 are arranged, the first flange 27 and the second flange 29 each being mounted in a removable manner on one of the modules 19.

[0063] Advantageously, the motor 11 is positioned on one of the first 27 or the second flange 29.

[0064] Advantageously, the presence detector 9 is positioned on one of the first 27 or the second flange 29.

[0065] According to a particularly advantageous embodiment illustrated in Figures 3 and 4, the lid 7 includes at least one closure device 33 configured to exert pressure on a closing cap 35 of said cosmetic product conditioning and application device 3 when the lid 7 is in the closed position PF.

[0066] The lid 7 can include a plurality of closure devices 33 for a plurality of devices 3 for packaging and applying cosmetic product.

[0067] The capping device 33 ensures a long service life of cosmetic products and, above all, allows people with reduced mobility to recap the cosmetic product packaging and application devices 3 without difficulty.

[0068] Advantageously, the capping device 33 is a mechanical capping device and does not depend on the presence of a motor 11 or not allowing the automatic opening or closing of the lid 7.

[0069] The capping device 33 includes for example an articulated arm 37, a spring 39 connected to a first end 41 of said articulated arm 37, and a platform 43 fixed to a second end of the articulated arm, the platform 43 being configured to exert pressure on the closing hood 35 of the device 3 for conditioning and applying a cosmetic product.

[0070] In a particular embodiment illustrated in [Fig. 3], the platform 43 allows pressure to be applied to the closing cap 35 of a device 3 for packaging and applying a cosmetic product already in place in the support 13, here for a lip balm stick 15. Here, the closing cap 35 is formed by the support 13 and the pressure applied to the closing cap 35 is achieved by means of a rotating wheel of the device 3 for packaging and applying the cosmetic stick 15.

[0071] In another particular embodiment illustrated in [Fig. 4], the platform 43 allows pressure to be applied to the closing cap 35 of a device 3 for packaging and applying a cosmetic product, said closing cap 35 being fixed to the platform 43. Here, the cosmetic product is, for example, a foundation. When the lid 7 closes, the closure device 33 brings the closing cap of the cosmetic product close in order to close the device 3 for packaging and applying the cosmetic product.

[0072] Figure 5A shows a device 3 for conditioning and applying a mascara-type cosmetic product, said device 3 comprising on the one hand a receptacle 45 for the cosmetic product, open by a neck 47, and on the other hand a brush 49 comprising a closing cap 35, the brush 49 being able to be introduced into the receptacle 45 so that the closing cap 35 comes into contact with the neck 47 in order to close the device 3 for conditioning and applying the cosmetic product.

[0073] Optionally, the neck 47 includes a thread and the closing hood 35 may include a tapping cooperating with the thread of the neck 47.

[0074] Figure 5B shows a support 13 for a device 3 for conditioning and applying a cosmetic product, for example for the device 3 for conditioning and applying a cosmetic product illustrated in Figure 5A.

[0075] Such a support 13 can, for example, be positioned in the case 1 described above in order to house and facilitate the use of a cosmetic product by a person with reduced mobility. In particular, such a support 13 can be positioned in a module 19 of a modular container 5 of said case 1.

[0076] In one embodiment, the support 13 includes a housing 51 defining an internal volume 53 for receiving the device 3 and being provided with an insertion opening 55 for said device 3 in the internal volume 53.

[0077] The housing 51 is for example tubular in shape and closed at one end opposite the insertion opening by a base 57.

[0078] The support 13 advantageously includes a support base 59 mounted in the internal volume 53 and configured to support the device 3 for conditioning and applying a cosmetic product inserted in the internal volume 53.

[0079] The support 13 further includes means 61 for adjusting the distance between the base 59 and the insertion opening 55.

[0080] Thus, the height of the base 59 is adjustable, allowing the support 13 to be adapted to different sizes of a device 3 for packaging and applying a cosmetic product. Such a device 3 can therefore be installed in the support 13 by an operator or a relative of a person with reduced mobility, as the height of the base 59 can be adjusted during installation.

[0081] In a particular embodiment, the means 61 for adjusting the distance between the base 59 and the insertion opening 55 include an actuation wheel 63 connected to the base 59 and accessible from outside the housing 51.

[0082] Advantageously, the actuation wheel 63 is provided with a screw 65 extending through the base of the housing 51 and connected to the base 59 to ensure the translational movement of the latter during the rotation of the wheel.

[0083] According to one embodiment, the support 13 comprises a membrane 67 made of elastic material mounted on the housing 51 and having a slot 69 ([Fig. 6]) in its center, the slot 69 being positioned in the axial extension of the insertion opening 55, and configured to retain said device 3 for conditioning and applying a cosmetic product passed through the slot 69. In the illustrated embodiment, the membrane 67 is located axially below the insertion opening 55. Alternatively, the membrane 67 could be located axially above the insertion opening 55. In another variant, the membrane 67 could be positioned at the level of the insertion opening 55, that is to say, at the same distance from the base 59 as the insertion opening 55.

[0084] The membrane 67 allows the cosmetic product packaging and application device 3, which has passed through it, to be held transversely. Furthermore, the membrane 67 creates friction that minimizes unwanted longitudinal movements of said device 3. The membrane 67 also allows it to adapt to different sizes and widths of cosmetic product packaging and application devices 3.

[0085] The membrane 67 is for example round and less than 3 millimeters thick.

[0086] Advantageously, the slot 69 of the membrane 67 is cruciform, as illustrated in [Fig.6].

[0087] Membrane 67 then facilitates the insertion and retention in membrane 67 of a Device 3 makes packaging and applying a cosmetic product even easier, particularly when removing the brush 49 during use of the cosmetic product. Alternatively, however, it remains possible to provide other shapes for the slot, for example, a straight one.

[0088] In a particular embodiment, the membrane 67 comprises silicone.

[0089] Fig. 5B also illustrates a kit 71 comprising the support 13 described above and an annular seal 73, also shown in Fig. 5A, configured to be fitted around the neck 47 of the cosmetic product conditioning and application device 3, as also illustrated in Fig. 5A.

[0090] This annular seal 73 allows a hermetic closure of the cosmetic product packaging and application device 3, in particular after the closing cap 35 has been placed on said annular seal 73, and for example following pressure exerted by the closure device 33 described previously when the lid 7 is closed and the support 13 is placed in the box 1 described previously.

[0091] If the collar 47 contains a thread, the annular seal 73 further allows the said thread to be covered and does not require any rotational and screwing movement to close the device 3.

[0092] Advantageously, the annular seal 73 includes at least one sealing lip configured to extend in projection relative to the neck 47 of said device.

[0093] Figures 7A, 7B, and 7C show a device 3 for conditioning and applying a stick 15 of cosmetic product, said device 3 comprising a casing 75 containing the stick 15 of cosmetic product, and a rotating wheel 77 relative to the casing 75 and along the longitudinal axis X-X' of the device 3, the rotating wheel being configured to allow longitudinal movement of the stick 15 of cosmetic product between the inside and outside of the casing 75. The stick 15 of cosmetic product is, for example, a lipstick stick 15.

[0094] Figures 7A, 7B, and 7C more particularly represent a kit 79 comprising the device 3 for conditioning and applying a stick 15 of cosmetic product and a support 13 for said device 3 for conditioning and applying a stick 15 of cosmetic product.

[0095] The support 13 can, for example, be positioned in the case 1 described above to house and facilitate the use of a cosmetic product stick 15 by a person with reduced mobility. In particular, the support 13 or the kit 79 can be positioned in a module 19 of a modular container 5 of said case 1.

[0096] The support 13 includes a housing 81 defining an internal volume 83 for receiving said device and is provided with an insertion opening 85 for said device 3 in the internal volume 83.

[0097] The housing 81 also includes a base 87 opposite the insertion opening 85.

[0098] The housing 81 includes at least one internal bead 89 extending radially inside the internal receiving volume 83 and delimiting a stopping surface 91 for one end of said device 3 inserted into the internal volume 83, in particular one end of the envelope 75.

[0099] In addition, the internal ridge 89 is preferably positioned at a sufficient distance from the base 87 so that the cosmetic product stick 15 can extend from the casing 75 without breaking against the base 87.

[0100] Thus, the internal volume 83 comprises a first part 93 between the insertion opening 85 and the internal bead 89 configured to accommodate the device 3, in particular the envelope 75, and a second part 95 between the base 87 of the housing 81 and the internal bead 89 configured to accommodate the cosmetic product stick 15 extending from the inside of the device 3 in an exit position of said cosmetic product stick 15.

[0101] The case 81 is also configured to allow the rotating wheel 77 of the device 3 for conditioning and applying the stick 15 of cosmetic product to extend outside the internal volume 83.

[0102] The internal bead 89 is for example annular.

[0103] Alternatively, several internal ridges 89 spaced circumferentially may extend inside the internal volume 83 so as to delimit the stopping surface 91.

[0104] In an advantageous embodiment, the support 13 includes an annular seal 97 configured to be positioned axially between the internal bead(s) 89 and the device 3 inserted in the internal volume 83. The annular seal 97 makes it possible to increase the contact surface between the support 13 and the device 3 without damaging the latter, and also makes it possible to guarantee a seal suitable for preserving the stick 15 of cosmetic product.

[0105] In one embodiment, the support 13 includes a motor 99 configured to rotate the housing 81 around the longitudinal axis X-X' of the housing 81, in particular of the device 3 when the latter is positioned in the housing 81.

[0106] The motor 99 is for example positioned on the housing 81, preferably on the base 87 of the housing 81.

[0107] Thus, through friction between the device 3 for conditioning and applying the cosmetic product stick 15 and the case 81, in particular between the casing 75 and the annular bead 89 or the annular seal 97, the device 3 for conditioning and applying the cosmetic product stick 15 is also set in rotation. When the rotating wheel 77 is held stationary by a user or by the capping device 33 of the lid 7 of the case 1 when the lid 7 is closed, the motor 99 allows the stick 15 of cosmetic product to be moved longitudinally, in particular to extend it from the envelope 75.

[0108] Thus, a person with reduced mobility can use the cosmetic product stick 15 without having to make the hand rotation movement to turn the rotating wheel 77.

[0109] According to one embodiment, the support 13 includes a detector 101 of a free end of the cosmetic product stick 15 when said cosmetic product stick 15 extends into the internal volume 83 of the support 13.

[0110] The detector 101 is for example positioned on the housing 81, preferably in the second part 95 of the internal volume 83, even more preferably at a distance from the internal rim 89 identical to an optimal exit distance of a free end of the cosmetic product stick 15 relative to the end of the envelope 75.

[0111] Advantageously, detector 101 includes a photoelectric cell.

[0112] Thus, in operating conditions, when the detector 101 does not detect a free end of the cosmetic product stick 15, it sends a signal to the motor 99 which will rotate the housing 81 so as to move said cosmetic product stick 15 and align its free end with the detector 101.

[0113] In an embodiment in which the housing 1 as described above includes a holder 13 with a device 3 for conditioning and applying a stick 15 of cosmetic product, the housing 1 preferably includes a means (not shown) for rotating the motor 99 of the holder 13 when the detector 101 does not detect a free end of the stick 15 of cosmetic product in the internal volume 83 of the holder 13 and when the cover 7 is in the closed position PF. In this embodiment, the cover 7 includes the capping device 33 so as to keep the rotating wheel 77 fixed.

[0114] Fig. 7A illustrates in particular a support 13 subjected to a pressure P, for example from the capping device 33, the free end of the cosmetic product stick 15 exceeding the detector 101.

[0115] Fig. 7B then illustrates the rotation of the motor 99, and consequently of the housing 81 and the envelope 75, while the rotating wheel 77 remains fixed, in order to align the free end of the cosmetic product stick 15 with the detector 101.

[0116] Fig. 7C finally illustrates a stoppage of the pressure P exerted by the capping device 33 and a withdrawal of the conditioning and application device 3 for the stick 15 of cosmetic product.

[0117] A person with reduced mobility can thus use the cosmetic product stick 15 without having to uncap it, perform a rotating movement to extend the cosmetic product stick 15 outside of the envelope 75, and having a stick 15 of cosmetic product extending to an optimal length, allowing easy application and ensuring that the 15 stick of cosmetic product does not break.

[0118] The case 1 and the supports 13 described above allow for easier presentation and use of cosmetic product packaging and application devices 3 by persons with reduced mobility. However, grasping such devices 3 remains a difficulty for some people.

[0119] Figure 8 shows an embodiment of a gripping kit 103 of a device 3 for conditioning and applying cosmetic products, in particular here of a device 3 for conditioning and applying cosmetic products as illustrated in Figure 5A.

[0120] The gripping kit 103 includes an attachment element 105 configured to be fixed to said cosmetic product packaging and application device 3, and a gripper 107 configured to be manipulated by a user, the attachment element 105 and the gripper 107 being able to be joined to each other by magnetic attraction.

[0121] Thus, it is possible for a person with reduced mobility to have a gripper 107 fixed to a part of the body, to bring said gripper 107 close to the attachment element 105 and to be able to use the cosmetic product conditioning and application device 3 without having to make a grasping movement with the fingers, a movement sometimes impossible for these people with reduced mobility.

[0122] In a particular embodiment, the gripper 107 includes a ring 109 that can be positioned around a user's finger. Thus, the gripper 107 is within reach of the user at all times and is discreet.

[0123] Advantageously, one of the attachment element 105 and the gripper 107 comprises a metal washer 111, the other comprising a magnet, or an electromagnet 113.

[0124] The metal washer 111 includes in particular a magnetic and / or ferromagnetic metal.

[0125] As illustrated, the attachment element 105 includes an electromagnet 113 and the gripper 107 includes a metal washer 111, for example fixed on the ring 109. The advantage of the electromagnet 113 is that it can be controlled and therefore does not attract all nearby ferromagnetic materials at all times.

[0126] Advantageously, the gripping kit 103 includes a means 115 for remotely activating the electromagnet 113 of the attachment element 105 and / or the gripper 107.

[0127] The remote activation means 115 is for example configured to control the electromagnet 113 of the attachment element 105 and / or the gripper 107 by radio wave.
