[0002] TEXT OF THE DESCRIPTION

[0003] Scope of the invention

[0004] The present invention relates in particular to moulds for make-up products, even more particularly to moulds for those so-called "stick" products or cast products in general, to which category may belong, for example, lip gloss, lipsticks, foundation, concealers, etc., other products belonging to the same category.

[0005] In particular, the present invention relates to an innovative mould for cast products and related moulding method.

[0006] Even more specifically, the present invention is the completion of the Italian patent granted 102020000009775 in April 2020 by the same applicant who in these three years has had the opportunity to study the merits and defects of their own invention.

[0007] It should be noted that the patent described above was inventive for solving the problems of the prior art cited in the document, which is therefore referred to for every detail and in-depth analysis of the prior art prior to 102020000009775.

[0008] State of the Art

[0009] In this case, the granted patent is referred to as state of the art, which advantageously solved the problems of prior art that are summarised here for convenience.

[0010] The "cup" patent was intended to make the manual moulding of make-up cast products of equal or higher quality than moulding by means of expensive automatic machines, this preserving the quality of the finished product and indeed improving it and allowing an economic and unlimited moulding of printed pieces, manual moulding being also suitable for limited batches of product, therefore for small and artisanal cosmetic companies, to the benefit of the quality-price ratio of the finished product. This has been demonstrated by the prior invention granted.

[0011] In particular, version 1.0 of the invention described

[0012] A manual hybrid mould device for make-up cast products comprising at least one base, said base comprising any plurality of casting cavities, and a casting plate for introducing the cast product into each of said cavities, said cavities will house silicone moulds or ogive, said casting cavities of said base being open at the bottom, or the base being perforated at said casting cavities, said mould still comprising a vacuum distribution plate adapted to be positioned below said base to suck air from said holes on the bottom said mould being characterized by the fact of further comprising cups suitable to be housed in each cavity and silicone or ogive moulds, said ogive will be housed in said cups previously housed in the cavities, said one or a plurality of cups having an external shape compatible with the casting cavities in which they are inserted and a structured internal shape shaped similar to the external shape of the silicone mould housed therein, between the internal surface of said cup and the external surface of the silicone mould being a substantially regular cavity in size around the entire external surface of the external side of the silicone mould or ogive, in said cavity there is air, in this way during suction the cup preserves the ogive from excessive stress, the internal shape of the cup shaped similarly to the ogive preserving from excessive suction and reducing breakage of the product.

[0013] This having been the first of further innovative embodiments, the focus of the invention innovatively has been the particular "cup" that houses the silicone mould or ogive and is interposed between it and the housing in the mould itself to preserve it during the extraction operations for an optimal result in terms of quality.

[0014] In particular, in version 1 .0 the ogive as stated above was housed in the cup and between the external side of the ogive and the internal side of the cup there was an air gap, still on the lower side the cup was open, this at the same opening on the base of the mould, to allow the positioning of the vacuum plate to carry out the operation of "detaching" the ogive from the cast pastel, (see the more than detailed description of document 102020000009775).

[0015] The opening of the cup on the lower part was mandatory precisely to allow this operation, but this could cause some problems during the suction phase, as on the lower side of the cup it was possible that there was excessive suction and therefore deformation of the pastel cast in length, with consequences on the entire shape.

[0016] It is therefore an object of the present invention to solve this problem of patent 1 .0.

[0017] It is an object of the present invention to describe an ogive / cup coupling that avoids any processing waste.

[0018] It is still an object of the present invention to describe a new detachment system between ogive and pastel that guarantees almost 100% results without waste.

[0019] It is an object of the present invention to eliminate production waste for the moulding of two-colour pastel products. Brief description of the invention

[0020] These and further advantages will be obtained thanks to the innovative manual hybrid mould device perfected for casting make-up products comprising at least one casting base, said base comprising any plurality of casting cavities, and a casting plate to introduce the cast product into each of said cavities, said cavities will house cups which in turn will house silicone moulds or ogive, at least one closing plate is comprised to close the cup on its lower side, said system being characterized in that said cup includes at least magnetic inserts for the vertical movement of the same in the cavity and at least one pushing plate and / or an attraction plate suitable for being placed under said closing plate depending on the operating phase of the mould, said pushing plate comprises one or more pushing magnets with respect to the magnetic field of the inserts of the cup and said attraction plate includes one or more magnets with an attractive magnetic force with respect to the magnetic field of the inserts of the cup, so depending on the operating phase said cup, being magnetic, will fluctuate with respect to the closing element (pushing position), in another operating phase the cup will be attracted towards the attraction plate, the movement of the cup therefore taking place by the action of magnetic fields, by magnetic fluctuation, this allowing all the operations of casting, cooling, forming and extraction of the cast element preserving the structure of the ogive and eliminating production waste.

[0021] Moreover, said cup comprises a cup body comprising an open lower cavity, said ogive housed in said cup has the bottom free, said lower closing plate comprises supporting elements that are raised parts made in correspondence with the cavities to support the bottom of the ogive and in the centre of said support elements there are through holes to let air pass in a suction phase (phase 6) and detachment of the cast product.

[0022] Moreover , said cavities of said casting base include lateral grooves wherein protrusion elements made on the external side of the cup are housed to hold it in place, or said casting cavity includes protrusions and the cup includes grooves in which to house said protrusions to create a sliding coupling to slide along said cavity and hold the cup in place, for centring it.

[0023] Moreover, said cup advantageously having a frusto-conical internal shape to accommodate the external surface of the ogive in contact with the internal surface of the mould / ogive, said ogive having in turn an external surface of frusto-conical shape to make a conical coupling to support the ogive, said ogive also having an innovative frustoconical shape, said cup having an internal surface suitable for housing the frusto- conical external surface of the ogive in contact with it, thus creating a concentric coupling created with a conical coupling, said ogive being therefore supported along the frusto-conical surface and on the lower side by said support elements to limit any possible deformation of the same.

[0024] Moreover, said magnetic attraction plate includes at its centre a hole or groove for passing air into the corresponding through hole(s) of the closing element of the cup in a final phase of detachment of the cast product via vacuum suction.

[0025] Note that in one or more embodiments the cup is made of ferromagnetic material or plastic or other material suitable for the purpose and in this case includes magnetic inserts such as magnets, even when the cup is made of ferromagnetic material or made of anodized aluminium, the magnets can / are grafted on the cup in the cavity for magnets.

[0026] As said in a particularly innovative way, said device comprising below the closing element at least one magnetic plate / element of magnetic pushing or repulsion with respect to the magnetism of the cup to keep it in a first operating position and at least, replacing the pushing plate, a magnetic attraction plate with respect to the magnetism of the cup to attract it towards the closing element in a second operating phase, this allowing all the operations of casting, cooling, forming and extraction of the cast element preserving the structure of the ogive by eliminating production waste.

[0027] It is noted that a well-known company produces moulds comprising pneumatic frusto- conical grippers (N.B. housings with grippers, not support cups, since they have been invented and patented by the applicant themselves and being an additional element) to house "classic" ogives. The ogive of the present invention, on the other hand, being innovative in that it is designed with a specially frusto-conical external shape to be perfectly housed in the corresponding cavity of the cup.

[0028] A shape similar to the ogive made here does not exist in the known art, such coupling being intended for the purposes of the present invention.

[0029] Moreover, the gripper of the above company belongs to automatic machines whose strengths and weaknesses have been copiously described in application 1.0 and summarised here.

[0030] Moreover, these grippers are extremely expensive and to have an opening or closing input there is a pneumatic valve, therefore everything is controlled by dedicated machines. The object of the present invention relates exclusively to manual moulds and still the grippers known in the art as said, being mechanically moved by special machines and being such grippers (or sometimes springs) made of ferrous material and therefore subject to wear, stiffening with consequent breakage of the same and therefore causing expensive machine stops, still these grippers were used with ogives of known art that as said are subject to rapid wear caused by mechanical movement and their more fragile nature, unlike the ogive made by the present invention which has a more resistant structure and greater "rubbery" body thickness, therefore being more performing in itself also for a synergistic effect with the coupling with the innovative cup.

[0031] Moreover, regarding the known art, the pneumatic regulation mechanism for opening or closing grippers if not perfectly calibrated, even as a result of wear of the system, can lead to multiple problems regarding the quality of the product if too much or too little pressure is applied during the detachment of the pastel from the gripper.

[0032] Moreover, disadvantageously, the known art ogive lacked a support on the lower part so that it could often happen that the ogive deformed, resulting in a product to be discarded as it was not saleable.

[0033] Moreover, further innovative for the present invention, a factor that creates a synergistic effect with the ogive / cup 2.0 pair is the operating system to keep the ogive in place and detach it from the pastel.

[0034] It should be remembered that we are talking here about manual hybrid moulds: in an innovative and advantageous way in this variant, in the casting phases from 1 to 5 of a product cast in one or more colours, the device comprises at least one or more cups housed in as many housings in the base, inside it / them being positioned frusto-conical ogives, the cup(s) being closed on the lower side by the closing element that also supports the ogives on their base on the lower side.

[0035] Below the closing element, the magnetic pushing plate and the cup being positioned in said first pushing operating position with the upper sides of the cup abutting the internal upper sides of the housing of the base in magnetic fluctuation, in this first position the ogive is supported on its entire external surface solidly by the cup and on the lower side by raised support elements for the bottom of the ogive.

[0036] Said lower closing element comprising centrally with respect to these support elements (for example in this embodiment) a through hole for the air.

[0037] Phases 1 to 5 will be described below in detail. Note that in phase 6, i.e. detachment of the pastel or product cast from the ogive, the magnetic attraction plate is positioned under the plate or closing element instead of the magnetic pushing plate, in this phase therefore the cup for magnetic attraction will move vertically downwards sliding in the grooves of the housing of the base and will be in contact on its lower side with the flat surface of the closing element 6. There are empty grooves between the cup and the housing base where air can pass through. The magnetic attraction plate comprising in fact a groove or hole passing towards an opening made on the attraction plate to which an air suction means is connected, in this way the air will pass through the empty cavities sucking the ogive and thus detaching it from the finished cast product. Note that in this phase the ogive always remains on the lower side in contact with the support elements of the closing element or closing plate in this way avoiding any deformation in length and the frusto-conical coupling also avoiding deformations in the other directions.

[0038] In this phase it will be possible to extract the finished product from the mould by means of the gripping means or "butt" grafted on the pastel or cast device.

[0039] It should be noted that for a better centring and holding in position of the ogive, there are recesses on the housing base for housing centring pins that are inserted into the upper edge of the ogive that includes centring holes for housing said pins.

[0040] Brief Description of the Figures

[0041] These and further advantages will be obtained thanks to the manual hybrid mould described by the present invention, which will be better described and clarified by the description of the attached figures which have a merely clarifying and non-limiting purpose of the objects of the present invention as a mere example of an embodiment variant.

[0042] Figure 1 shows an example of a six-position hybrid mould with exploded parts, in a preferred embodiment thereof.

[0043] Figure 2a to 2f shows the working phases from phase 1 to phase 6 of the manual hybrid mould according to the present invention in a preferred embodiment thereof.

[0044] Detailed description of the figures In particular, Figure 1 shows an exploded view of an example of a manual hybrid mould 100 with six casting cavities - note that the number of cavities is completely irrelevant since the mould can be made with any number of cavities.

[0045] Here is represented a casting plate 1 , a core 2 insert for casting a two-colour (secondary embodiment variant), an innovative ogive 3 made for the purposes of the present invention with a thickness of the material of the ogive above the average and with a frusto-conical external shape, a base 4 is still represented comprising at least one casting cavity 4a comprising sliding grooves (not visible here) compatible with protruding elements on the external surface of a cup - or in an alternative embodiment the cup will comprise sliding grooves and the cavity will comprise guide elements such as protrusions to mate with the grooves of the cup 5, the latter having a cylindrical external shape suitable to be housed in the base 4, said cup having an innovatively frusto-conical internal shape with internal surface Sint5 suitable to be housed in contact with the same the frusto-conical external surface Sext3 of the ogive 3, thus realizing a concentric coupling created with conical coupling.

[0046] Said cup will be inserted from the bottom into the cup holder base 4 since the upper side of the cup will remain, in a first operating position, in abutment with the inner upper surface of the base 4.

[0047] Said cup 5 comprising a magnetic insert whose function we will clarify below.

[0048] The cup 5 as mentioned is open in its lower part 5°.

[0049] There is a closing element / plate 6 of the cup 5 that "closes" it in its lower part, thus allowing the ogive 3 to be rested also on its lower side 3a on a support (and not remaining in the vacuum as in version 1.0). In particular, said closing element 6 comprising in one (or more depending on the number of seats in the mould) raised part support elements 6a to support the bottom 3a of the ogive 3 and in the centre of them there is a through hole 6b to let the air pass during the suction phase (phase 6) and detachment of the cast pastel.

[0050] Below the closing element 6, being positioned, depending on the operating phase of the pastel casting, a plate 7 comprising one or more pushing magnets 7 with respect to the magnetic field of the inserts of the cup 5 or a plate with attraction magnet 8, depending on the operating phase, said attraction magnet 8 comprises at its centre a hole or groove 8a (depending on the embodiment) for passing air inside the corresponding through hole 6b of the closing element 6 of the cup in the final phase of detachment of the cast pastel by vacuum suction. Technically it is enough to vacuum but with a vacuum of 0-1 bar because it is more precise. The chamber is watertight. The novelty and inventive height of the present invention will become apparent from the description of the working phases below.

[0051] Figures 2a to 2f depict the various phases of the casting process for cast make-up products.

[0052] In particular in figure 2a - PHASE 1 - a preferred embodiment is represented for a two- colour lipstick mould, being present the insert 2 for the casting of the second colour in the mould 100, it should be noted that the most complex variant has been represented for completeness, the process would also be the same for the realisation of a singlecolour product by omitting the insertion of the insert two and doing a single casting phase, this is well known from the previous patents of the applicant themselves and from the known art for which it will not be extended in this sense; the innovative aspects remain valid for both mono-colour and bicolour (or more colours depending on the inserts / plates used which will not be described because they are known in previous patents of the applicant).

[0053] Phase 1 is here the first casting phase: in this embodiment the mould 100 is assembled and closed in all its parts with the pushing plate 7 in position below the cup device 5 which being magnetic will float with respect to the closing element remaining its upper edge in contact with the lower one of the housing of the base 2 in which it is placed (pushing position). The cup 5 as already mentioned is inserted from the underside of the cup holder base 4.

[0054] Note that in a variant embodiment the cup will be made of plastic material suitable for the purpose, and in the magnet seats 16 as shown in the figure, magnetic elements will be inserted to allow the fluctuation of the same, even when the cup is made of ferromagnetic material or made of anodized aluminium, the magnets can / are grafted on the cup in said magnet cavities 16.

[0055] Note that in some variants the plastic cup is preferable since condensation can form during the cooling phases of the product cast from hot to cold and aluminium, even if anodized (or a ferromagnetic material), can eventually oxidize, while condensation slides away with the plastic material.

[0056] The magnetic attraction / repulsion force applied preferably varies between 6-15 kg): the strength of the magnetic field must in any case exceed the weight of the cup that approximately weighs 2-3 ounces or less depending on the material with which it is used, a greater force is preferably applied for better certainty of movement.

[0057] In this phase, the first colour is cast from the casting plate 1 (outside the two-colour insert 2), the cup 5 is kept pushed upwards by magnetic fluctuation and the conical coupling between the cup 5 and the ogive 3 keeps it firmly and perfectly in position.

[0058] It should be noted that the base 4 comprises recesses 4b on the upper surface to house centring pins 9 on which the upper external edge of the ogive 3 is inserted, which comprises holes on the upper external edge 3c suitable for engaging with said pins 9 and is thus kept supported in the correct position and orientation with respect to the casting direction for the colour (with respect to the tip of the lipstick or product to be cast). The ogive inside has shaped the shape of the product to be cast, for example lipstick, so the orientation of the same is essential for casting.

[0059] Between the cup holder base 4 and the cup with magnetic inserts and the ogive 3 there are empty spaces or cavities for the passage of air that will be useful in the final phase of detaching the product by suction.

[0060] Phase 2, visible in figure 2b, is that of cooling the first colour cast - this occurs for the two-colour - once cooled by special means known to the art - the core 2 is extracted from the inside of the ogive 3, where this core 2 has created an empty cavity ready for the casting of the second colour.

[0061] In phase 3, i.e. figure 2c, the second colour is dosed and poured. Plate 7 always in the push position.

[0062] In phase 4, i.e. figure 2d, the casting plate 1 is extracted, also in this phase the second cast colour cools and the cup is in the push position.

[0063] In phase 5, visible in figure 2e, we always have the cup device 5 in the push position by magnetic fluctuation thanks to the magnetic action of the plate 7 and the "butt" or casing of the cast pastel is inserted for subsequent extraction.

[0064] In phase 6, visible in figure 2f, the critical phase of detaching the pastel from the ogive 3 is represented; in this phase the pushing plate 7 is replaced with the magnetic attraction plate 8, whereby the cup 5 comprising magnetic elements is attracted towards the magnet plate 8, thus sliding downwards, but resting always in contact with the external surface Sext3 of the ogive 3 supporting it avoiding any lateral deformation of the same, the bottom of the ogive 3b advantageously is always supported by the closing element 6 of the cup 5, and in particular by its supports 6a, which support the bottom of the ogive preventing any deformation during its elongation. The cup 5 is located with its lower side therefore in contact with the flat side 6c of the closing element 6.

[0065] The casting plate 100 is then connected with a vacuum plate or similar suction elements known to the art and through the through hole / cavity 8a in the magnet 8 that engages with the through hole 6a of the closing element 6. In the figure, the air flows in the empty spaces are visible stylised.

[0066] Through the through air gaps (in the figure the white spaces between the ogive 3, base 4 and cup 5) the vacuum is created, the ogive 3 will then remain in contact with the internal wall of the cup 4, perfectly detaching itself from the pastel or poured device contained therein. The bottom 3a of the ogive is always advantageously supported by the support elements 6a.

[0067] Note how in this way it is completely advantageous having avoided any interaction with the pastel, which has always remained closed in the cup 4 and how the improved ogive 3 allows the perfect detachment of the same being accompanied at every stage of work by the conical coupling with the cup and supported on the bottom by the element 6.

[0068] Note that in the case of casting of a single colour, the two- colour plate 2 is absent and the casting step 1 is single.

[0069] It should be noted that in a completely advantageous way all the casting and extraction operations of the finished product thanks to the magnetic fluctuation have been carried out completely manually without the need for machines. Moreover, the magnetic interaction being much more delicate than mechanical actions with grippers, this allowing not to stress the cast product preserving its integrity and quality this to the benefit of the quality of the finished product.

[0070] It should be noted that in this way the inventor has practically verified the zeroing of production waste.

[0071] Moreover, further advantageously, reliable machining has been found that never undergoes wear and tear.

[0072] Moreover, advantageously, the processing by magnetic fluctuation or interaction is simple to carry out and not dependent on an operator and does not require continuous recalibration or adjustment due to wear of the parts.

[0073] Moreover, the ogive is not subjected to any stress so its duration (being also a more robust innovative ogive) is extremely increased. It should also be noted that in this way, always working in a closed mould, the hygiene chain of the finished product is more guaranteed.

[0074] It should also be noted that it is possible to make manual moulds with any number of such casting cavities and attachments.

[0075] Finally, it should be noted that all the problems of prior art have been solved both regarding the 1 .0 cup and the other examples mentioned.

[0076] It should also be noted that in a synergistic way, thanks to the shape of the base - cup - ogive - movement by magnetic fluctuation - optimised results were obtained at very low costs compared to manual and even mechanised moulds.

[0077] In light of what has been said so far, it is evident that the present invention brilliantly solves very important problems for this technical field, it should be noted that variations in materials as long as they are ferromagnetic, dimensions of the mould, number of cavities, number of cast products (the mould as known by the applicant themselves can easily be modified to cast more colours) without leaving the scope of protection of the present invention, which in particular invents the movement by magnetic fluctuation for moulds for cast products.

[0078] These and further advantages will be better evidenced by the appended claims which form an integral part of the present invention.
