Description

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

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

[0002] In this field, many receptacles are known that include a base containing the cosmetic product, also called a formula. The base is closed by a lid to protect the formula.

[0003] It is particularly known that receptacles are configured to allow the lid to move between a closed position and an intermediate position, and to tilt the lid relative to the base between said intermediate position and an open position, while keeping the lid attached to the base. Thus, while the person using the receptacle takes the formula from the base to apply makeup, the lid remains attached to the base.

[0004] Such kinematics are achieved by means of a hinge connected, on one side, to the base and, on the other side, to the lid. Relative to the base, said hinge is rotatable with the lid between the closed position and the intermediate position. The hinge is further configured to allow the lid to tilt relative to the base between the intermediate position and the open position while remaining attached to the base.

[0005] However, in known receptacles, the angular range of tilting of the lid remains limited, which presents a disadvantage in accessing the formula.

[0006] The invention aims to overcome at least in part the previous drawbacks and proposes for this purpose a receptacle for a product, in particular a cosmetic, said receptacle having an axis, said longitudinal, and comprising a base and a cover of said base, said receptacle comprising a ring, movable in rotation relative to the base around said longitudinal axis, and a hinge member, movable in rotation relative to the base with said ring to allow passage of the cover between a closed position and an intermediate position by a rotation around said longitudinal axis and a tilting of the cover relative to the base between said intermediate position and an open position while keeping the cover attached to the base, said hinge member having a pivoting articulation relative to said ring and relative to the cover.

[0007] The double articulation of the lid relative to the ring, and therefore relative to the base, achieved by means of the hinge element of the invention, allows for a greater tilting range of the lid. Access to the interior of the base, and thus to the product it is intended to contain, is thereby facilitated.

[0029] [Fig.20] schematically illustrates, in side view, the receptacle of the [Fig.1], in a position occurring just after arriving in said intermediate position when its lid is opened.

[0030] The invention relates to a receptacle 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.

[0031] As illustrated in [Fig.1], said receptacle having an X axis, called longitudinal. It is shown here in a closed position. It comprises a base 2 and a cover 4 of said base 2. Said base 2 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 base 2. Said skirt 10 extends along the longitudinal axis X, at least in said closed position of the receptacle.

[0032] As will become apparent later, said cover 4 is mobile in rotation about said longitudinal axis X, as illustrated by the arrow marked R.

[0033] As illustrated in [Fig. 2], according to the illustrated embodiment, said base 2 comprises two parts, namely an external part 2a and an internal part 2b received into said external part 2a of said base 2. Said internal and external parts 2a, 2b of said base 2 are interlocked. The bottom 6 of the base 2 is here jointly defined by a bottom of the external part 2a and a bottom of the internal part 2b of the base 2.

[0034] Said base 2 is configured to receive said product. Here, said receptacle comprises a reservoir 14 received in said internal part 2b. Said product is intended to be located in said reservoir 14. Advantageously, said reservoir 14 is removable. It is therefore possible to replace it once the product is exhausted.

[0035] Said cover 4 comprises, for example, two parts, namely an external part 4a and an internal part 4b received in said external part 4a of said cover 4. Said internal and external parts 4a, 4b of said cover 4 are embedded in each other.

[0036] Said receptacle further comprises a sealing member 16 intended to be received in said cover 4, in particular its said internal part 4b. Said sealing member is formed of a disc. Advantageously, said receptacle is configured so that said sealing member 16 is compressed, in particular at a peripheral edge of said disc, between said base 2 and said cover 4, in particular between an upper edge of said reservoir 14 and a bottom wall of the internal part 4b of said cover 4, this in said closed position.

[0037] The receptacle further includes a ring 20 and a hinge member 22.

[0038] As can be seen in Figures 3 to 5, to open and / or close the receptacle, said ring 20 is mobile in rotation relative to the base 2 around said longitudinal axis X. This is particularly visible by comparing Figures 3 and 4 where it can be seen that, in the same plane of section, a part of the ring 20 in relation to the hinge member 22 is not present in the plane in question whereas, after the rotation allowing passage from the closed position ([Fig.3]) to an intermediate position ([Fig.4]), said part of the ring 20 receiving the hinge member 22 is now present in the plane of section.

[0039] Furthermore, said hinge member 22 is movable in rotation relative to the base 2 with said ring 20 to allow passage of the cover 4 between the closed position and the intermediate position, according to the rotation around said longitudinal axis X, mentioned above, and a tilting of the cover 4 relative to the base 2 between said intermediate position and an open position according to the arrow marked B while keeping the cover 4 fixed to the base 2, as illustrated [Fig.5].

[0040] In the illustrated embodiment, in the closed position, the cover 4 is axially abutted against the base 2. In the intermediate position, the cover 4 is axially at a distance from the base 2. In the open position, the cover 4 is angularly abutted against the base 2.

[0041] Between the closed position and the intermediate position, the person using the receptacle, holding the base 2 with one hand and turning the cover 4 with the other, causes the cover 4, the ring 20, and the hinge 22 to rotate together through a given angle relative to the base 2 around the longitudinal axis X between the closed position and the intermediate position. The person using the receptacle then tilts the cover 4 to the open position; the ring 20 is then stationary relative to the base 2. at base 2 in a position corresponding to a position reached in said intermediate position.

[0042] It is understood that said ring 20 is fixed to said base 2 with at least one degree of freedom in rotation around said longitudinal axis X, this freedom of rotation being angularly limited to the angular displacement of the cover 4 between the closed position and the intermediate position.

[0043] Advantageously, said cover 4, in particular said internal and / or external parts 4a, 4b of said cover 4, has a notch 5 for receiving said hinge member 22, in particular a head 36 of said hinge member 22. Said cover 4 and said hinge member 22 are configured so that said head 36 is fully housed in said notch 5 in said closed position, in said intermediate position and between these two positions so as not to protrude radially from said cover 4, at least outwards. At said notch 5, said external part 4a of said cover 4 has, for example, a radial edge 5a, visible in particular [Fig. 8].

[0044] According to a first aspect of the invention, said hinge member 22 has a pivot joint with respect to said ring 22 and with respect to the cover 4. In other words, said hinge member 22 is fixed to said ring 20 with a degree of freedom contributing to said tilting of the cover 4, for a first part thereof. Said hinge member 22 is further fixed to said cover 4 with a degree of freedom contributing to said tilting of said cover 4, for a second part thereof.

[0045] According to this aspect of the invention, the receptacle thus provides a double articulation of the lid 4 with respect to the ring 20 and therefore with respect to the base 2 thanks to the hinge member 22. It thus allows a greater tilting range of the lid 4.

[0046] Advantageously, said hinge member 22 is rigid. This means that, rather than exhibiting a certain flexibility like hinges known as film hinges, said hinge member 22 cannot be bent or, at the very least, does not exhibit a crease line.

[0047] In the illustrated embodiment, said ring 20 is formed of an outer flank 20a and an inner flank 20b connected by an upper transverse edge 20c. Said outer flank 20a is located internally opposite said external part 2a of said base 2. Said inner flank 20b is located externally opposite said internal part 2b of said base 2.

[0048] As illustrated in Figures 6 to 8, advantageously, said receptacle comprises a first articulation axis Y1 allowing said hinge member 22 to pivot relative to said ring 20 along a first articulation direction orthogonal to said longitudinal axis X. Said first articulation direction is, for example, substantially tangential to the base 2, at least to said internal part 2b of said base 2 by passing through said ring 20 and said hinge member 22.

[0049] To realize said first articulation axis Yl, said receptacle includes, for example, first articulation lugs 24 intended to cooperate with first articulation housings 26. The first articulation lugs 24 are located, in particular, on the hinge member 22. The first articulation housings 26 are provided, in particular, in said ring 20.

[0050] Said receptacle includes a second articulation axis Y2 allowing said cover 4 to pivot relative to said hinge member 22 along a second articulation direction parallel to said articulation direction of the first articulation axis YL

[0051] To realize said second articulation axis Y2, said receptacle has second articulation housings 28 intended to cooperate with second articulation lugs 30. Said second articulation direction is, for example, substantially tangential to the cover, at least to said internal part 4b (not visible in figures 6 to 8), of said cover 4 by passing through said hinge member 22 and said external part 4a of the cover 4.

[0052] The second articulation housings 28 are provided, in particular, in the hinge member 22. The second articulation lugs 30 are located, in particular, on the cover 4, especially at the radial edge 5a.

[0053] As is particularly visible in [Fig.8], said ring 20 includes a clearance space 32 within which said hinge member 22 is articulated to allow a pivoting of said second articulation axis Y2 relative to said first articulation axis YL. Said clearance space 32 has an angular span substantially identical, within play, to an angular span of said hinge member 22, which contributes in particular to good pivoting guidance around the first articulation axis Y1 of the hinge member 22 relative to the ring 20.

[0054] Said first lugs 24 and said second housings 28 are located at two opposite ends of said hinge member 22 so that said first lugs 24 are concealed in the base 2 and / or said second housings 28 are outside the base 2 in all positions of the cover 4.

[0055] In the illustrated embodiment, the hinge member 22 comprises a body 34 and the head 36 mentioned above. The head 36 comprises the second housings 28. The body 34 forms a lever arm between the first lugs 24 and the head 34. Advantageously, the lever arm corresponds to a distance between the first and second pivot axes Y1, Y2. The head 36 is radially offset with respect to the body 34.

[0056] Said ring 20 has, for example, a ring shape extending along a substantially constant radial thickness and / or axial height over its entire periphery, except for a location of said travel space 32. At said travel space 32, said ring 20 includes a connecting wall 38. Here, the connecting wall 38 is an integral part of said outer flank 20a. Said inner and outer flanks 20a, 20b are connected by radial walls 20d located on either side of said travel space 32. Said first articulation housings 26 are formed by recesses in said radial walls 20d. Said ring 20 includes excess material 27 to reinforce it at said recesses.

[0057] As illustrated in figures 9 and 10, advantageously, said receptacle has facing surfaces 40a, 40b to form a pivoting stop for said hinge member 22 on said ring 20 when the cover 4 is tilted. In these figures, the pivoting of the hinge member 22 relative to said ring 20 around the first articulation axis Y1 is illustrated by an arrow marked P.

[0058] In [Fig. 9], the hinge member 22 is shown before pivoting. It is parallel to said longitudinal direction X. This corresponds to a first position, called vertical, of said hinge member 22 vis-à-vis the ring 22 parallel to said longitudinal direction X. Such a configuration is encountered in said closed position, in said intermediate position and between these two positions.

[0059] In [Fig. 10], the hinge member 22 is shown after pivoting. It is inclined about the first articulation axis Y1 at an angle between 10 and 20° with respect to said longitudinal direction X. This corresponds to a second, so-called inclined, position of said hinge member 22 with respect to the ring 20. Such a configuration is encountered when the cover 4 is tilted immediately after passing into said intermediate position and up to said open position when the receptacle is opened, and conversely when it is closed.

[0060] Here, a first 40a of said facing surfaces comprises a portion, referred to as the upper portion, of an external surface of the body 34 of said hinge member 22, said upper portion being located near its head 36. A second 40b of said facing surfaces comprises a chamfer located at a free edge of said connecting wall 38 for cooperating with said upper portion of the external surface of the body 34. Cumulatively or alternatively, said first 40a of said facing surfaces comprises a region, referred to as the lower portion, of the external surface of the body 34, said lower region being located near said first articulation axis Y1. The second 40b of said facing surfaces comprises a free edge of one or more triangular flanks 42, here two, located in the travel space 32 for cooperating with said lower region of the external surface of the body 34. Said triangular flanks 42 extend radially from said connecting wall 38.

[0061] Said receptacle has a notch 44 (better seen in [Fig.8]) intended to cooperate with a first rib 46 to form a first passable stop promoting the retention of said hinge member 22 vis-à-vis the ring 20 in said vertical position of the hinge member 22.

[0062] In the illustrated embodiment, said notch 44 is located on the hinge member 22 at the level of a lower part of the body 34. Said first rib 46 is located on said ring 20 at the level of a lower part of the travel space 32.

[0063] Here, said ring 20 further comprises a U-shaped form 48, provided on the ring 20 to facilitate pivoting guidance of the hinge member 22 between the vertical position and the inclined position by cooperating with said notch 44. Said U-shaped form 48 extends radially from said connecting wall 38. Said triangular flanks 42 are formed by an axial extension of lateral flanks of said U-shaped form 48.

[0064] Said ring 20 further comprises a radial flank 50 extending from said connecting wall 38. Said first rib 46 is located at the level of an upper edge of said radial flank 50. Said radial flank 50 is located between the lateral flanks of said U-shaped form 48.

[0065] During opening, once it has reached an intermediate position, by a slight additional effort, the person using the receptacle allows the hinge member 22 to pass this first passable stop to tilt from the vertical position to the inclined position.

[0066] Said receptacle further presents third lugs 52 intended to cooperate with a counter-form 54 to form a second passable stop facilitating the maintenance of said hinge member 22 in said inclined position.

[0067] Said third lugs are located on the ring 20, here at the level of said radial walls 20d. Said counterform 54 is formed, for example, from an edge of lateral edges of the hinge member 22, here at the level of its body 34 at one of the ends of said body near the head 36 of said hinge member 22.

[0068] During closing, once it has reached the vicinity of said intermediate position, by a slight additional effort, the person using the receptacle allows the hinge member 22 to pass this second passable stop to switch from the inclined position to the vertical position.

[0069] As illustrated in figures 11 to 15, advantageously, said receptacle has fourth lugs 56 intended to cooperate with a groove 58 to form a third passable stop to drive said hinge member 22 with said cover 4 during a passage from said open position to said intermediate position.

[0070] The fourth lugs 56 are located here on the cover 4, in particular at the radial edge 5a. Said groove 58 is formed, for example, in a field of the lateral edges of the hinge member 22, in particular at the level of its head 36.

[0071] During closing, once the lid 4 has reached a certain tilting point, the fourth lugs 56 bear against an external face of the head 36 of the hinge member 22 (Figures 11 and 14) and, as the tilting continues, allow the hinge member 22 to pivot from its inclined position to its vertical position. In other words, when the user closes the lid 4, the fourth lugs 56 drive the hinge member 22 from its inclined position, which allowed the lid to open wide, to its vertical position, thus facilitating, from this intermediate position, the proper alignment of the various elements for closing the lid 4.By a slight additional effort, at the end of the tilting movement, the person using the receptacle allows the lid 4 to pass this third passable stop, the fourth lugs 56 then fitting into said groove 58 (figures 12 and 15), in a manner substantially simultaneous with the passage of the second passable stop.

[0072] As illustrated in figures 16 to 18, advantageously, said receptacle has fifth lugs 60 intended to cooperate with third housings 62 to form a fourth passable stop intended to limit a movement of said cover 4 relative to said hinge member 22 in the open position.

[0073] The fifth lugs 60 are located here on the cover 4, in a given angular position around said second lugs 30. Said third housings 62 are provided, for example, in the field of the lateral edges of the hinge member 22, in particular at the level of its head 36, in a given angular position around said second articulation housings 28.

[0074] During opening, by applying a slight additional force at the end of the tilting movement of the lid 4, the person using the receptacle allows said lid 4 to pass this fourth passable stop, the fifth lugs 60 then engaging in said third recesses 62 ([Fig. 18]). Conversely, during closing, the fifth lugs 60 disengage from said third recesses 62.

[0075] As illustrated in figures 19 and 20, advantageously, said receptacle includes a sixth lug 64 for pre-compression of the hinge member 22, active in said intermediate position so as to promote the pivoting of said hinge member 22 around said first articulation axis Y1 upon arrival in said intermediate position.

[0076] Said sixth lug 64 is located, for example, on the base 2, in particular said internal part 2b of the base 2, opposite the head 36 of the hinge member 22 to press on an internal face of said head 36 in vertical position of said hinge member 22.

[0077] As is particularly visible [Fig.20], such pre-compression causes at least a beginning of pivoting of said hinge member 22 and a beginning of tilting of said cover 4.

[0078] Referring again to figures 3 to 5, it can be seen that said base 2 includes an opening 100 for the circulation of said hinge member 22.

[0079] According to a second aspect of the invention, which may or may not be combined with the previous aspect, said ring 20 is further configured to mask said opening 100. This means, in particular, that said ring 22 occupies said opening 100 and / or covers it.

[0080] The hinge member 22 moves in this way without leaving a visible trace at the base 2, even in the open position of the receptacle, thanks to the ring 20 which moves with it and masks the opening 100 necessary for the angular movement of said hinge member 22.

[0081] In the illustrated embodiment, said base 2 comprises an inner wall and an outer wall defining between them a cavity 102 opening at the top onto said opening 100 for the circulation of the hinge member 22. Said inner wall is here formed by the inner part 2b of the base 2. Said outer wall is here formed by said outer part 2a of the base 2. Said cavity 102 is advantageously annular.

[0082] Said ring 20 comprises a segment 104 movable in said cavity 102. Here, said segment 104 comprises the outer flank 20a, the inner flank 20b and the upper transverse edge 20c of said ring 20. It further defines said travel space 32. More generally, it is understood that said segment 104 is configured to be guided at least in rotation between said inner and outer walls of the base 2.

[0083] Said segment 104 has an upper surface flush with said opening 100 in the intermediate position, in the open position, and between said intermediate and open positions. Said upper surface corresponds here to said upper transverse edge 20c. In other words, in the intermediate position, in the open position, and between these two positions, said upper transverse edge 20c occupies said opening 100, being flush just above a free edge of said external part 2a of the base 2, which conceals said opening 100 from the person using said receptacle (see in particular [Fig. 4]).

[0084] According to a third aspect of the invention, which may or may not be combined with any of the preceding aspects, said receptacle is configured to allow the ring 20 and / or the hinge member 22 to be movable with the cover 4 in a movement further having a translational component about said longitudinal axis X. This is why, in the illustrated embodiment, the cover 4 is axially distant from the base 2 in said intermediate position.

[0085] The transition between the closed position and the intermediate position is achieved, for example, by screwing / unscrewing or according to a bayonet movement.

[0086] Said receptacle includes a first opening / closing thread 200 allowing the cover 4 to move from the closed position to the intermediate position. Said first thread 200 is located on the base 2, in particular on its inner wall, i.e., here, said internal part 2b of the base 2, to cooperate with a first threaded hole located on said cover 4, in particular said internal part 4b of the cover 4. Said first thread 200 allows the cover 4 to be screwed / unscrewed onto the base 2.

[0087] The receptacle includes a second thread 202 for guiding the ring 20 on the base 2. This second thread 202 is located on the base 2, specifically its inner wall, i.e., here, the internal part 2b of the base 2, beneath the first thread 200, to cooperate with a second threaded hole located on the ring 20, specifically the inner flank 20b. This second thread 202 allows the ring 20 to rotate about the longitudinal axis X and also to move up and down about the longitudinal axis X, thereby giving the ring 20, as well as the cover, a spiral motion about the longitudinal axis X.

[0088] Advantageously, said first and second fillets 200, 202 have an identical pitch.

[0089] According to this third aspect, in general, the invention relates to a receptacle for a product, in particular a cosmetic, said receptacle 1 having a longitudinal axis X and comprising a base 2 and a cover 4 of said base 2, said receptacle comprising a ring 20, movable in rotation relative to the base 2 around said longitudinal axis X, and a hinge member 22, movable in rotation relative to the base 2 with said ring 20 to allow passage of the cover between a closed position and an intermediate position by a rotation around said longitudinal axis X and a tilting of the cover 4 relative to the base 2 between said intermediate position and an open position while keeping the cover 4 attached to the base 2.

[0090] According to this third aspect, said receptacle further comprises a first opening / closing thread 200 allowing the cover 4 to move from the closed position to the intermediate position, the receptacle further comprises a second guiding thread 202 of the ring 20 on the base 2, said first and second threads 200, 202 advantageously having an identical pitch.

[0091] According to the illustrated embodiment, said ring 20 is integral with said cover 4, according to said rotation around the longitudinal axis X, at least through said hinge member 22.

[0092] As can be seen [Fig. 5], said receptacle further comprises pins 70 cooperating with recesses 72 to also contribute to driving said ring 20 by means of said cover 4. Moreover, the various pins 70, once in taken in the recesses 72, allow the forces to be taken during the rotation of the cover 4 when closing and / or opening the cover 4, and thus prevent all the forces from being concentrated at the hinge member 22.

[0093] Said studs 70 are located, for example, on the ring 20, in particular at said upper transverse edge 20c. The recesses 72 are located, for example, on the cover 4, in particular the internal part 4b of said cover 4.

[0094] The said pins 70 are here three in number. A first of the said pins 70 is located diametrically opposite the said hinge member 22. A second and a third of the said pins 70 are located on either side of the said hinge member 22 (see also [Fig.8]).
