Abstract

The products (P,P') are put into cups (6,6') which are held in square cavities (2) in an intermediate plate (3). The cavities are defined by a flat base (4) and lateral walls (5) perpendicular to this. An elastomeric O-ring (18) is held around the lateral walls by notches (5f) at each corner. The O-ring holds the cup in the cavity elastically but allows it to be removed. The intermediate plate is held in the base (B) of the case by a tongue (8) which engages in a corresponding hole (8a) in the front of the base. <IMAGE>

Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un ensemble pour le conditionnement et la présentation d'au moins un produit de consistance solide ou semi-solide, tel que par exemple un produit cosmétique, comme les boîtiers de maquillage renfermant au moins un produit solide, délitable, obtenu par compactage ou par coulage d'une poudre dans un support. Parmi de tels produits solides, on citera les fards à joues, les ombres à paupières, les fonds de teint, etc., et parmi les produits semi-solides, voire semi-liquides, on citera les fonds de teint ayant l'aspect d'une crème mais qui ne coule pas.The present invention relates to an assembly for the packaging and the presentation of at least one product of solid or semi-solid consistency, such as for example a cosmetic product, such as makeup cases containing at least one solid, disintegrable product, obtained by compacting or pouring a powder into a support. Among such solid products, mention will be made of blushes, eye shadows, foundations, etc., and among semi-solid or even semi-liquid products, mention will be made of foundations having the appearance of 'a cream but which does not run.

Les boîtiers de maquillage classiques comprennent, en général, une base dans laquelle est conformée une ou plusieurs cavités, destinées à recevoir chacune un produit solide de maquillage conditionné chacun, par exemple, dans une coupelle. En raison de l'épuisement inégal des différents produits de maquillage contenus dans le boîtier, il est souhaitable qu'une coupelle de produit solide puisse être extraite facilement de sa cavité, et remplacée par une nouvelle coupelle de produit.Conventional make-up boxes generally comprise a base in which one or more cavities are formed, each intended to receive a solid make-up product each packaged, for example, in a dish. Due to the uneven exhaustion of the various makeup products contained in the housing, it is desirable that a cup of solid product can be easily removed from its cavity, and replaced by a new cup of product.

De même, il est souhaitable que l'utilisatrice puisse composer, elle-même, un ensemble de produits de maquillage dont elle a choisi les nuances de couleurs. Parallèlement à l'interchangeabilité des coupelles, il faut assurer une fixation solide des coupelles dans leur cavité.Similarly, it is desirable that the user can compose, herself, a set of makeup products of which she has chosen the shades of colors. In addition to the interchangeability of the cups, it is necessary to ensure a solid fixing of the cups in their cavity.

A cet effet, dans le document FR-A 2 585 935, la demanderesse a déjà proposé de placer, dans un boîtier de maquillage comprenant une base et un couvercle articulé sur cette base, des coupelles contenant chacune un produit solide, placées dans une cavité à l'intérieur du boîtier, un levier articulé étant prévu sous chaque coupelle pour permettre à l'utilisatrice l'extraction d'une coupelle de produit épuisé.To this end, in document FR-A 2 585 935, the applicant has already proposed placing, in a make-up case comprising a base and a cover hinged on this base, cups each containing a solid product, placed in a cavity inside the housing, an articulated lever being provided under each cup to allow the user to extract a cup of spent product.

Ce boîtier de maquillage présente cependant l'inconvénient qu'il est difficile d'assurer un bon maintien d'une coupelle dans sa cavité, car les tolérances des coupelles sont très variables ceci est dû au fait qu'elles sont réalisées, en général, en matière métallique, et qu'elles subissent, lors de leur remplissage, des déformations non négligeables. A cause de ces dimensions variables, il peut être difficile, voire impossible d'insérer une coupelle dans sa cavité, ou bien cette coupelle peut ne pas présenter une taille suffisante pour garantir, par friction, un bon maintien dans sa cavité. Par ailleurs, en cas de choc du boîtier, les produits tendent à s'émietter, voire se casser.However, this make-up case has the drawback that it is difficult to ensure good retention of a cup in its cavity, because the tolerances of the cups are very variable this is due to the fact that they are produced, in general, made of metallic material, and that they undergo, during their filling, significant deformations. Because of these variable dimensions, it may be difficult or even impossible to insert a cup into its cavity, or else this cup may not be of sufficient size to guarantee, by friction, a good support in its cavity. In addition, in the event of an impact with the housing, the products tend to crumble or even break.

La présente invention permet, notamment, de remédier à ces inconvénients. A cet effet, elle propose un ensemble de conditionnement et de présentation d'un ensemble de produit solide, comme un boîtier de maquillage, apte à recevoir au moins un bloc de produit solide, maintenu de façon élastique dans une cavité, ce produit pouvant être extrait, par l'utilisateur, de la cavité par une manoeuvre simple, et remplacé par un nouveau produit solide.The present invention makes it possible, in particular, to remedy these drawbacks. To this end, it offers a set of packaging and presentation of a set of solid product, such as a makeup case, capable of receiving at least one block of solid product, held resiliently in a cavity, this product being able to be extracted by the user from the cavity by a simple operation, and replaced by a new solid product.

La présente invention a donc pour objet, le produit industriel nouveau que constitue un ensemble pour le conditionnement et la présentation d'au moins un produit de consistance solide ou semi-solide, ce produit étant reçu dans une cavité d'un élément support, la cavité étant délimitée par un fond sensiblement plat et par une paroi latérale sensiblement perpendiculaire audit fond, caractérisé par le fait qu'il comporte un moyen (E, E') de maintien élastique souple antichoc déformable multidirectionnellement assurant le maintien du produit (P, P') dans la cavité (2, 102, 202, 302) ainsi que l'extraction du produit (P, P') hors de la cavité (2, 102, 202, 302) à volonté et la mise en place d'un nouveau produit (P, P'), ce moyen étant situé entre au moins une partie de la paroi latérale (5, 113, 205, 305a-305d) délimitant la cavité (2, 102, 202, 302) et le produit.The subject of the present invention is therefore the new industrial product which constitutes an assembly for the packaging and presentation of at least one product of solid or semi-solid consistency, this product being received in a cavity of a support element, the cavity being delimited by a substantially flat bottom and by a side wall substantially perpendicular to said bottom, characterized in that it comprises a means (E, E ') of flexible elastic retaining shock resistant multidirectionally deformable ensuring the maintenance of the product (P, P ') in the cavity (2, 102, 202, 302) as well as the extraction of the product (P, P') out of the cavity (2, 102, 202, 302) at will and the installation of a new product (P, P '), this means being located between at least part of the side wall (5, 113, 205, 305a-305d) delimiting the cavity (2, 102, 202, 302) and the product.

Grâce au maintien déformable élastiquement, les produits logés dans le boîtier, selon la présente invention, peuvent présenter des dimensions variables, le moyen élastique assurant notamment un certain rattrapage de jeu. En outre, ce moyen déformable assure une meilleure résistance aux chocs ou vibrations pouvant se produire pendant le transport.Thanks to the elastically deformable support, the products housed in the housing, according to the present invention, can have variable dimensions, the elastic means ensuring in particular a certain take-up of play. In addition, this deformable means ensures better resistance to shocks or vibrations which can occur during transport.

En effet, le moyen élastique antichoc a la particularité de présenter deux élasticités: une première élasticité due au matériau, et qui est une flexibilité de compression, et une deuxième élasticité, qui est une élasticité d'élongation. Le moyen élastique antichoc est donc déformable dans toutes les directions de l'espace. En particulier, lorsqu'on le comprime horizontalement, il s'allonge verticalement et vice-versa.Indeed, the shockproof elastic means has the particularity of having two elasticities: a first elasticity due to the material, which is a compression flexibility, and a second elasticity, which is an elasticity of elongation. The shockproof elastic means is therefore deformable in all directions of space. In particular, when it is compressed horizontally, it lengthens vertically and vice versa.

L'ensemble de conditionnement, selon l'invention, peut être un boîtier de maquillage, de peinture ou encore de cirage.The packaging assembly, according to the invention, can be a make-up, paint or even polish box.

Un ensemble de maquillage pour les yeux, par exemple pour les paupières, comporte en général plusieurs produits de couleur différente en fonction de la préférence de l'utilisatrice pour une nuance précise, le produit correspondant sera épuisé avant les autres. Il sera donc possible, grâce à l'invention, de remplacer aisément le produit épuisé par un nouveau. De même, quand une nuance donnée n'est plus à la mode, l'utilisatrice pourra, tout en gardant son ensemble de conditionnement, retirer les nuances démodées et placer dans celui-ci, de nouveaux produits de couleur préférée. Enfin, l'utilisatrice pourra composer, lors de l'achat, les couleurs de son boîtier.A set of make-up for the eyes, for example for the eyelids, generally comprises several products of different color according to the preference of the user for a precise shade, the corresponding product will be exhausted before the others. It will therefore be possible, thanks to the invention, to easily replace the exhausted product with a new one. Similarly, when a given shade is no longer fashionable, the user can, while keeping her packaging set, remove the old-fashioned shades and place in it new products of preferred color. Finally, the user can compose, during the purchase, the colors of her case.

Avantageusement, le support pour le produit solide ou semi-solide est constitué par une coupelle, dans laquelle une composition pulvérulente a été compactée ; il est possible également, de remplir la coupelle en coulant une composition pulvérulente en suspension dans un solvant, puis d'évaporer ou non ce solvant, pour solidifier ou garder semi-fluide le produit.Advantageously, the support for the solid or semi-solid product consists of a cup, in which a pulverulent composition has been compacted; it is also possible to fill the dish by pouring a pulverulent composition in suspension in a solvent, then to evaporate or not this solvent, to solidify or keep the product semi-fluid.

L'ensemble selon la présente invention comprend, de préférence, en plus d'une ou plusieurs coupelles, une base qui constitue ou porte l'élément support, selon le cas, le moyen pour le maintien élastique de chaque produit assurant alors le maintien élastique de chaque coupelle dans cet élément support, de sorte que les produits se trouvent suspendus élastiquement dans les cavités formées par l'élément support.The assembly according to the present invention preferably comprises, in addition to one or more cups, a base which constitutes or carries the support element, as the case may be, the means for the elastic retention of each product while ensuring the elastic maintenance of each cup in this support element, so that the products are suspended elastically in the cavities formed by the support element.

La cavité peut avoir une forme parallelépipédique à angles arrondis, la section pouvant être carrée ou rectangulaire en variante, il est possible de choisir une section circulaire ou ovale.The cavity can have a parallelepiped shape with rounded angles, the section can be square or rectangular as a variant, it is possible to choose a circular or oval section.

Avantageusement, le moyen de maintien élastique peut être constitué par un joint torique. Ce joint torique peut être logé dans quatre encoches pratiquées par exemple à mi-hauteur dans les quatre arêtes de la cavité, lorsque celle-ci est de section rectangulaire ou carrée, au niveau de la paroi latérale. Ce joint torique peut aussi être placé au-dessus du produit, à sa périphérie par exemple dans quatre encoches pratiquées au-dessus du produit dans les quatre arêtes de la cavité.Advantageously, the elastic holding means can consist of an O-ring. This O-ring can be housed in four notches made for example at mid-height in the four edges of the cavity, when the latter is of rectangular or square section, at the side wall. This O-ring can also be placed above the product, at its periphery, for example in four notches made above the product in the four edges of the cavity.

Selon un aspect intéressant de l'invention, le joint torique peut être réalisé en élastomère thermoplastique ou vulcanisé pouvant se présenter, le cas échéant, sous forme de mousse.According to an interesting aspect of the invention, the O-ring can be made of thermoplastic or vulcanized elastomer which can be, if necessary, in the form of foam.

La dureté de ce matériau élastomérique présente, avantageusement, une dureté choisie dans la gamme de 15 Shore A à 25 Shore D.The hardness of this elastomeric material advantageously has a hardness chosen from the range of 15 Shore A to 25 Shore D.

Avantageusement, ce matériau est choisi parmi les élastomères de silicone, les caoutchoucs naturels, les caoutchoucs synthétiques, les élastomères de polyéthylène / polypropylène / polyester, les élastomères de polyuréthane, les élastomères de polystyrène et les élastomères de polyéther bloc amide.Advantageously, this material is chosen from silicone elastomers, natural rubbers, synthetic rubbers, polyethylene / polypropylene / polyester elastomers, polyurethane elastomers, polystyrene elastomers and amide block polyether elastomers.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, I'élément support est constitué par une platine intermédiaire délimitant la cavité par une paroi latérale, le fond de la cavité recevant le produit étant formé par la base et/ou par la platine, selon que la platine comporte un fond ou non, le moyen de maintien élastique assurant alors le maintien élastique de la coupelle dans la platine.According to a first embodiment of the invention, the support element consists of an intermediate plate delimiting the cavity by a side wall, the bottom of the cavity receiving the product being formed by the base and / or by the plate, according to whether the plate has a bottom or not, the elastic holding means then ensuring the elastic holding of the cup in the plate.

Selon ce premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, le moyen de maintien élastique peut être solidaire de la platine intermédiaire. Selon une variante de réalisation, le moyen de maintien élastique peut être solidaire de la coupelle.According to this first embodiment of the invention, the elastic holding means can be secured to the intermediate plate. According to an alternative embodiment, the elastic holding means can be secured to the cup.

Selon un second mode de réalisation, I'élément support comprend une base, la paroi latérale et le fond de la cavité font partie d'une platine intermédiaire, les moyens de maintien élastiques assurant le maintien de la platine intermédiaire dans la base, cette platine comportant éventuellement une coupelle de produit, qui peut être fixée soit par collage, soit par l'intermédiaire d'un deuxième moyen de maintien élastique, comme défini précédemment. Selon ce second mode de réalisation, le moyen de maintien élastique peut être solidaire de la platine ou de la base.According to a second embodiment, the support element comprises a base, the side wall and the bottom of the cavity are part of an intermediate plate, the elastic holding means ensuring the maintenance of the intermediate plate in the base, this plate optionally comprising a cup of product, which can be fixed either by gluing, or by means of a second elastic holding means, as defined above. According to this second embodiment, the elastic holding means can be secured to the plate or the base.

De façon particulière, la paroi latérale de la coupelle peut comporter au moins une zone, sur laquelle le joint en matériau élastiquement déformable a été appliqué, par exemple par bi-injection ou par coulage. Cette variante peut être utilisée en présence ou non de la platine intermédiaire.In particular, the side wall of the cup may include at least one zone, to which the seal made of elastically deformable material has been applied, for example by bi-injection or by casting. This variant can be used with or without the intermediate plate.

De façon classique, la coupelle peut être réalisée en métal, ou bien en matière thermoplastique.Conventionally, the cup can be made of metal, or else of thermoplastic material.

Avantageusement, la coupelle peut être munie d'un bourrelet d'encliquetage destiné à se loger dans une zone située entre le moyen de maintien élastique porté par l'élément support et le fond de la cavité.Advantageously, the cup can be provided with a latching bead intended to be housed in a zone located between the elastic holding means carried by the support element and the bottom of the cavity.

Selon un troisième mode de réalisation, la cavité est formée dans la base et le moyen de maintien élastique reçoit directement la coupelle de produit, sans utilisation d'une platine intermédiaire, afin de maintenir directement la coupelle dans la base ; la base sert alors d'élément support. Selon ce troisième mode de réalisation, le moyen de maintien élastique est solidaire de la coupelle ou de la base.According to a third embodiment, the cavity is formed in the base and the elastic holding means directly receives the product cup, without using an intermediate plate, in order to directly hold the cup in the base; the base then serves as a support element. According to this third embodiment, the elastic holding means is integral with the cup or the base.

Dans certains cas, on pourra prévoir entre l'élément support et le produit, et par exemple entre la platine et la base ou entre la base et la coupelle un moyen compressible complémentaire tel qu'une mousse ou des picots surmoulés en matière déformable, notamment élastomérique, en vue d'un rattrapage de jeu et/ou d'une protection anti-vibration, supplémentaires.In certain cases, it will be possible to provide, between the support element and the product, and for example between the plate and the base or between the base and the cup, an additional compressible means such as a foam or spikes overmolded in deformable material, in particular elastomeric, for backlash adjustment and / or anti-vibration protection, additional.

Afin que l'utilisateur puisse effectuer, à volonté, le remplacement d'une coupelle de produit par un autre, un moyen facilitant cette opération peut être prévu :

  • selon une première variante, I'élément support est muni, en son fond, d'un trou d'extraction du produit permettant l'introduction d'un élément effilé ou pointu provoquant alors l'éjection du produit lorsqu'il doit être changé. Cet élément effilé peut être une épingle à cheveux ou un trombone. Lorsque la coupelle de produit est logée dans une platine intermédiaire comportant un fond, cet élément effilé doit traverser un premier trou ménagé dans la base et un deuxième pratiqué dans la platine.
  • selon une deuxième variante de l'invention, I'élément support est équipé d'un moyen pivotant d'extraction de la coupelle. Ce moyen pivotant d'extraction peut être un bras de levier, dont une première branche est apte à être actionnée par l'utilisateur, et dont la deuxième branche est logée sous une zone de la coupelle et est apte à soulever celle-ci lorsque la première branche est actionnée. Un tel moyen d'éjection est décrit dans le document FR-A 2 585 935.
So that the user can carry out, at will, the replacement of a product cup by another, a means facilitating this operation can be provided:
  • according to a first variant, the support element is provided, at its bottom, with a product extraction hole allowing the introduction of a tapered or pointed element then causing the product to be ejected when it has to be changed. This tapered element can be a hairpin or a paper clip. When the product cup is housed in an intermediate plate having a bottom, this tapered element must pass through a first hole in the base and a second hole made in the plate.
  • according to a second variant of the invention, the support element is equipped with a pivoting means for extracting the cup. This pivoting extraction means can be a lever arm, a first branch of which is capable of being actuated by the user, and the second branch of which is housed under an area of the cup and is capable of lifting the latter when the first branch is activated. Such an ejection means is described in document FR-A 2 585 935.

La présente invention concerne également un ensemble pour le conditionnement et la présentation d'au moins un produit de maquillage de consistance solide, caractérisé en ce qu'il consiste en un ensemble tel que décrit précédemment, le produit de maquillage pouvant être un produit compacté ou coulé comme des fards à joues, des ombres à paupières, des fonds de teint, des blushs, des poudres parfumées, etc. ...The present invention also relates to an assembly for packaging and presenting at least one makeup product of solid consistency, characterized in that it consists of an assembly as described above, the makeup product which can be a compacted or poured product such as blushes, eye shadows, foundations, blushes, scented powders, etc. ...

Pour mieux faire comprendre l'objet de la présente invention, on va en décrire à titre d'exemple purement illustratif, et nullement limitatif, plusieurs modes de réalisation représentés sur les figures annexées. La description ci-après est relative à un boîtier de maquillage mais il va de soi que l'invention est d'application beaucoup plus générale.To better understand the object of the present invention, there will be described by way of purely illustrative example, and in no way limitative, several embodiments shown in the appended figures. The description below relates to a makeup case, but it goes without saying that the invention is of much more general application.

La figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un boîtier de maquillage, conforme à un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, représenté en position ouverte avec deux coupelles de produit juste avant leur mise en place dans le boîtier.Figure 1 is a perspective view of a makeup case, according to a first embodiment of the invention, shown in the open position with two cups of product just before their introduction into the case.

La figure 2 est une vue en coupe longitudinale d'un boîtier selon un second mode de réalisation de l'invention.Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of a housing according to a second embodiment of the invention.

La figure 3 représente une vue en perspective d'un bloc de produit solide conditionné dans une coupelle munie de moyens de maintien élastiques surmoulés conforme à une variante de réalisation.FIG. 3 represents a perspective view of a block of solid product packaged in a cup provided with elastic holding means overmolded according to an alternative embodiment.

La figure 4 représente une coupe analogue à celle de la figure 2, le moyen de maintien élastique étant situé entre la base du boîtier et la coupelle, selon un troisième mode de réalisation.Figure 4 shows a section similar to that of Figure 2, the elastic holding means being located between the base of the housing and the cup, according to a third embodiment.

La figure 5 est une vue schématique de la coupe selon la figure 4, la coupelle de produit solide ou semi-solide se trouvant en phase d'extraction à l'aide d'un outil.Figure 5 is a schematic view of the section according to Figure 4, the cup of solid or semi-solid product being in the extraction phase using a tool.

La figure 6a est une vue en perspective éclatée d'un ensemble conforme à une variante de réalisation de l'invention, comportant un moyen intégré d'extraction du produit solide ou semi-solide.Figure 6a is an exploded perspective view of an assembly according to an alternative embodiment of the invention, comprising an integrated means for extracting the solid or semi-solid product.

La figure 6b représente une coupe longitudinale selon la ligne X-X de la figure 6a, montrant une coupelle de produit en phase d'extraction à l'aide d'un bras de levier.FIG. 6b represents a longitudinal section along the line X-X of FIG. 6a, showing a cup of product in the extraction phase using a lever arm.

La figure 7 représente en coupe une autre variante de réalisation de l'ensemble de l'invention.Figure 7 shows in section another alternative embodiment of the assembly of the invention.

La figure 8 représente en coupe encore une autre variante de réalisation de l'ensemble de l'invention.Figure 8 shows in section yet another alternative embodiment of the assembly of the invention.

Un ensemble de conditionnement et de présentation d'un produit de maquillage P, P', représenté sur la figure 1, est constitué par un boîtier 1 comportant une base B, un couvercle C, et une platine intermédiaire 3 logée dans la base. Ces trois pièces sont par exemple moulées en matière plastique et ont sensiblement la forme d'un rectangle à angles arrondies elles présentent une épaisseur constante, sauf à leur périphérie, où elles diminuent progressivement pour constituer un bord externe arrondi.A set of packaging and presentation of a makeup product P, P ', represented in FIG. 1, is constituted by a box 1 comprising a base B, a cover C, and an intermediate plate 3 housed in the base. These three parts are for example molded from plastic and have substantially the shape of a rectangle with rounded angles, they have a constant thickness, except at their periphery, where they gradually decrease to form a rounded outer edge.

La base B comporte un fond 4, qui est entouré d'une paroi latérale 13 disposée sur toute la périphérie du fond 4. De même, la platine intermédiaire 3, sans fond , comporte une paroi latérale 5, qui délimite une ou plusieurs cavités 2, 2' recevant respectivement une coupelle 6, 6' qui peut être en métal ou en matière thermoplastique. Sur la figure 1, deux cavités 2, 2' ont été prévues ; il est cependant possible de ne prévoir qu'une seule cavité, ou bien 3, 4, 5...ou plus, selon la taille de l'ensemble.The base B has a bottom 4, which is surrounded by a side wall 13 disposed on the entire periphery of the bottom 4. Similarly, the intermediate plate 3, without bottom, has a side wall 5, which delimits one or more cavities 2 , 2 'respectively receiving a cup 6, 6' which may be made of metal or of thermoplastic material. In Figure 1, two cavities 2, 2 'have been provided; it is however possible to provide only one cavity, or 3, 4, 5 ... or more, depending on the size of the assembly.

Chaque coupelle 6, 6' est remplie d'un produit solide ou semi-solide P, P', obtenu par exemple par compactage d'une composition pulvérulente ou par coulage d'une composition fluide qui se solidifie par refroidissement ou évaporation d'un solvant.Each cup 6, 6 'is filled with a solid or semi-solid product P, P', obtained for example by compacting a pulverulent composition or by pouring a fluid composition which solidifies by cooling or evaporation of a solvent.

Dans l'exemple considéré, les cavités 2, 2' ont une forme parallélépipédique de section carrée, délimitée par les parois latérales 5 de la platine, chacun des quatre angles 5e du parallélépipède présentant une encoche 5f, afin d'y faire apparaître des moyens de maintien élastiques E, E'.In the example considered, the cavities 2, 2 ′ have a parallelepiped shape of square section, delimited by the side walls 5 of the plate, each of the four angles 5e of the parallelepiped having a notch 5f, in order to reveal means there holding elastic E, E '.

Ces moyens E, E' sont constitués chacun par un joint torique 18, réalisé en élastomère, par exemple un élastomère choisi parmi les élastomères de silicone, les caoutchoucs naturels, les caoutchoucs synthétiques, les élastomères de polyéthylène/polypropylène/polyester, les élastomères de polyuréthane, les élastomères de polystyrène et les élastomères de polyéther bloc amide.These means E, E ′ each consist of an O-ring 18, made of an elastomer, for example an elastomer chosen from silicone elastomers, natural rubbers, synthetic rubbers, polyethylene / polypropylene / polyester elastomers, elastomers of polyurethane, polystyrene elastomers and polyether block amide elastomers.

Ainsi, chaque coupelle 6, 6', placée dans une cavité 2, 2' n'est jamais en contact intime avec la paroi latérale 5, mais élastiquement suspendue grâce aux quatre zones de chaque joint torique, apparaissant dans les encoches 5f.Thus, each cup 6, 6 ', placed in a cavity 2, 2' is never in intimate contact with the side wall 5, but resiliently suspended thanks to the four zones of each O-ring, appearing in the notches 5f.

Grâce à la disposition de ces quatre zones apparentes des joints élastiques E, E', chaque coupelle 6, 6' est maintenue dans sa cavité 2, 2' de façon élastique, permettant ainsi d'atténuer les chocs, susceptibles de briser le produit compacté lors du transport de l'ensemble. La paroi de la coupelle 6,6' qui est en contact avec le moyen de maintien élastique E, E' peut en outre comporter des striures ou des aspérités (non représentées) afin d'assurer un meilleur maintien de chaque coupelle dans la cavité 2, 2', au niveau des joints E, E'.Thanks to the arrangement of these four visible zones of the elastic seals E, E ', each cup 6, 6' is held in its cavity 2, 2 'in an elastic manner, thus making it possible to attenuate the shocks, liable to break the compacted product. during transport of the assembly. The wall of the cup 6,6 ′ which is in contact with the elastic holding means E, E ′ may furthermore have ridges or asperities (not shown) in order to ensure better retention of each cup in the cavity 2 , 2 ', at the joints E, E'.

Sur sa face frontale 13a, la base B comporte une ouverture 8a. De plus, le sous-ensemble formé par la base B et la platine 3, comporte à la face opposée à la face 13a, un moyen d'articulation 7, permettant d'articuler la base par rapport au couvercle C. Ainsi une première partie de l'articulation formant charnière est portée par le couvercle, la deuxième partie complémentaire à la première peut être portée par la base B, comme représenté, ou bien par la platine 3. A l'intérieur de la partie centrale du couvercle, une glace 14 peut être prévue. Le couvercle C est par ailleurs muni à son bord opposé à la charnière 7, d'un moyen d'encliquetage 10 coopérant avec un fermoir 16 complémentaire porté par une branche élastiquement déformable 15 de la platine 3 et dont l'organe de manoeuvre 8 émerge de l'ouverture 8a pratiquée sur la face frontale 13a de la base B.On its front face 13a, the base B has an opening 8a. In addition, the sub-assembly formed by the base B and the plate 3, comprises on the face opposite to the face 13a, an articulation means 7, making it possible to articulate the base relative to the cover C. Thus a first part of the articulation forming a hinge is carried by the cover, the second part complementary to the first can be carried by the base B, as shown, or else by the plate 3. Inside the central part of the cover, a window 14 can be provided. The cover C is moreover provided at its edge opposite the hinge 7, with a latching means 10 cooperating with a complementary clasp 16 carried by an elastically deformable branch 15 of the plate 3 and from which the operating member 8 emerges of the opening 8a made on the front face 13a of the base B.

En outre, le fond 4 comporte un trou 11, 11' permettant l'introduction d'un outil effilé tel qu'une épingle à cheveux ou un trombone, pour l'extraction de la coupelle 6 ou 6', lorsque celle-ci doit être changée (voir figure 5).In addition, the bottom 4 has a hole 11, 11 ′ allowing the introduction of a tapered tool such as a hairpin or a paper clip, for the extraction of the cup 6 or 6 ′, when the latter must be changed (see figure 5).

Accessoirement, la platine peut comporter un logement 20 destiné à recevoir un applicateur A des produits de maquillage, tel qu'un pinceau ou une houppette.Incidentally, the plate may include a housing 20 intended to receive an applicator for make-up products, such as a brush or a puff.

Si nécessaire, la platine 3 peut être solidaire de la base par collage ou tout autre moyen, ou bien être suspendue dans la base à l'aide d'un moyen élastique ayant la forme d'un joint torique 118 (voir figure 2).If necessary, the plate 3 can be secured to the base by gluing or any other means, or else be suspended in the base using an elastic means having the shape of an O-ring 118 (see FIG. 2).

La figure 2 représente une coupe longitudinale d'un second mode de réalisation de l'invention. Les pièces identiques à la figure 1 ou jouant un rôle analogue portent les références de cette figure majorées de 100. Leur description ne sera donc reprise que partiellement.FIG. 2 represents a longitudinal section of a second embodiment of the invention. Parts identical to Figure 1 or playing a similar role bear the references of this figure increased by 100. Their description will therefore only be repeated partially.

Sur la figure 2, un ensemble 101 comporte une base B formant une cavité 100 délimitée par un fond 104, et une paroi latérale 113. Dans cette cavité 100 est disposée une platine 103, ayant une paroi latérale extérieure 105 et un fond 103a. Dans l'espace périphérique entre la paroi 105 de la platine 103 et la paroi 113 de la base B est disposé un moyen de maintien élastique E sous forme d'un joint torique 118 de même structure que le joint 18 de la figure 1. Ce joint 118 est solidaire de la paroi 105. La platine 103 comporte des cavités 102, 102' destinées à recevoir chacune une coupelle 106, 106' de produit P, P' qui peuvent être fixées par collage, soudure ou claquage, ou encore être suspendues par un joint torique, comme montré sur la figure 1.In FIG. 2, an assembly 101 comprises a base B forming a cavity 100 delimited by a bottom 104, and a side wall 113. In this cavity 100 is disposed a plate 103, having an outer side wall 105 and a bottom 103a. In the peripheral space between the wall 105 of the plate 103 and the wall 113 of the base B is arranged an elastic retaining means E in the form of an O-ring 118 of the same structure as the seal 18 of Figure 1. This gasket 118 is integral with the wall 105. The plate 103 has cavities 102, 102 'each intended to receive a cup 106, 106' of product P, P 'which can be fixed by gluing, welding or snapping, or even be suspended by an O-ring, as shown in Figure 1.

La base B est munie de deux trous d'extraction 111, 111', dont le rôle sera expliqué plus explicitement, lors de la description de la figure 5. De même, le fond 103a comporte deux trous 103b, 103'b en regard des trous 111, 111'.The base B is provided with two extraction holes 111, 111 ', the role of which will be explained more explicitly, during the description of FIG. 5. Likewise, the bottom 103a comprises two holes 103b, 103'b opposite the holes 111, 111 '.

La figure 3 représente, selon une variante de réalisation, une coupelle 60 formée par un fond et quatre parois latérales 60a-60d, chaque paroi comportant une zone de surépaisseur 61 en élastomère surmoulé, ces zones 61 de surépaisseur constituant les moyens de maintien élastiques E de la coupelle 60 et sont en appui souple contre la paroi 5 de la cavité 2 de la platine intermédiaire 3 (figure 1) ou de la paroi 205 de la base B, en l'absence de la platine (voir figure 4) après la mise en place de la coupelle 60 dans cette cavité. Dans ce cas, la paroi 5 ou 205 n'est pas équipée de joint torique.FIG. 3 represents, according to an alternative embodiment, a cup 60 formed by a bottom and four side walls 60a-60d, each wall comprising an overthickness zone 61 of overmolded elastomer, these overthickness zones 61 constituting the elastic holding means E of the cup 60 and are in flexible support against the wall 5 of the cavity 2 of the intermediate plate 3 (FIG. 1) or of the wall 205 of the base B, in the absence of the plate (see FIG. 4) after the placement of the cup 60 in this cavity. In this case, the wall 5 or 205 is not fitted with an O-ring.

La figure 4 représente une coupe longitudinale d'un troisième mode de réalisation de l'invention. Les pièces identiques à la figure 1 ou jouant un rôle analogue portent les références de cette figure majorées de 200. Leur description ne sera pas reprise.FIG. 4 represents a longitudinal section of a third embodiment of the invention. Parts identical to Figure 1 or playing a similar role bear the references of this figure increased by 200. Their description will not be repeated.

Dans ce mode de réalisation, le boîtier ne comporte pas de platine intermédiaire. Ainsi, l'ensemble 201 comporte une base B formant une cavité 202 délimitée par un fond 204 et une paroi latérale 205. Dans cette cavité est disposée une coupelle 206 remplie d'une poudre compactée P, qui est maintenue, de façon élastique, dans la cavité 202 par un joint torique 218 en élastomère.In this embodiment, the housing does not include an intermediate plate. Thus, the assembly 201 comprises a base B forming a cavity 202 delimited by a bottom 204 and a side wall 205. In this cavity is arranged a cup 206 filled with a compacted powder P, which is held, in an elastic manner, in the cavity 202 by an O-ring 218 made of elastomer.

La figure 5 montre une vue analogue à la figure 4, sur laquelle la coupelle 206 est en cours d'extraction. A cet effet, selon une variante de l'invention, l'utilisatrice introduit un outil effilé 212, par exemple une épingle à cheveux ou un trombone, dans le trou 211 pratiqué dans le fond de la base B et provoque, en poussant, l'extraction de la coupelle 206. Ensuite, par simple pression, une nouvelle coupelle 206 peut être mise en place dans la cavité 202.Figure 5 shows a view similar to Figure 4, on which the cup 206 is being extracted. To this end, according to a variant of the invention, the user introduces a tapered tool 212, for example a hairpin or a paper clip, into the hole 211 made in the bottom of the base B and causes, by pushing, the extraction of the cup 206. Then, by simple pressure, a new cup 206 can be put in place in the cavity 202.

Les figures 6a et 6b montrent, selon une autre variante de l'invention, un ensemble de maquillage 301 comportant un moyen intégré d'extraction 313 de la coupelle 306. Cet ensemble est constitué d'une base B, d'un couvercle C et d'une platine intermédiaire 303 avec un fond 303a. Les pièces identiques à la figure 1 ou jouant un rôle analogue portent les références de cette figure majorées de 300. Leur description ne sera pas reprise en entier.FIGS. 6a and 6b show, according to another variant of the invention, a makeup assembly 301 comprising an integrated means 313 for extracting the cup 306. This assembly consists of a base B, a cover C and an intermediate plate 303 with a bottom 303a. Parts identical to Figure 1 or playing a similar role bear the references of this figure increased by 300. Their description will not be repeated in full.

La base B comporte une platine intermédiaire 303 dans laquelle est aménagé une cavité 302 destinée à recevoir la coupelle 306, ainsi qu'un logement 320, destiné à contenir un applicateur. Cette cavité 302 est délimitée par un fond 303a de la platine 303 et quatre parois latérales 305a-305d. La paroi 305d qui sépare la cavité 302 du logement 320 a été découpée dans sa zone centrale, cette découpe délimitant deux tronçons en vis-à-vis, 321a, 321b. Dans ces tronçons, deux trous borgnes 322a, 322b ont été aménagés, pour recevoir des tourillons 322b, 322c d'un bras de levier 322 que constitue le moyen d'extraction 313 de la coupelle 306. Ce bras de levier est monté pivotant.The base B comprises an intermediate plate 303 in which is arranged a cavity 302 intended to receive the cup 306, as well as a housing 320, intended to contain an applicator. This cavity 302 is delimited by a bottom 303a of the plate 303 and four side walls 305a-305d. The wall 305d which separates the cavity 302 from the housing 320 has been cut in its central zone, this cutting delimiting two opposite sections, 321a, 321b. In these sections, two blind holes 322a, 322b have been arranged to receive pins 322b, 322c of a lever arm 322 which constitutes the extraction means 313 of the cup 306. This lever arm is pivotally mounted.

Le fond 303a de la platine comporte une encoche 319 laissant apparaître le fond 304 de la base B. Dans cette encoche 319 est logée une branche 322d du bras de levier, de sorte que son extrémité libre est en appui contre une partie du fond de la coupelle 306, lorsque celle-ci est en place. La partie opposée à la branche 322d, comporte une branche 322a dont l'actionnement par l'utilisatrice provoque, par pivotement, l'extraction de la coupelle 306 hors de la cavité 302.The bottom 303a of the plate has a notch 319 revealing the bottom 304 of the base B. In this notch 319 is housed a branch 322d of the lever arm, so that its free end is in abutment against part of the bottom of the cup 306, when it is in place. The part opposite the branch 322d, comprises a branch 322a, the actuation of which by the user causes, by pivoting, the extraction of the cup 306 from the cavity 302.

Les quatre angles 305e de la cavité 302 sont munis chacun de moyens de maintien élastiques E, réalisés par un joint élastique 318, assurant le maintien de la coupelle 306 dans la cavité 302. La coupelle 306 peut comporter des surépaisseurs ou bourrelets 314 destinées à se loger entre le joint 318 et le fond 303a de la platine, afin de garantir un maintien plus solide en toute souplesse. Cette surépaisseur peut être réalisée, bien entendu, sur les coupelles conformes aux réalisations précédentes.The four angles 305e of the cavity 302 are each provided with elastic holding means E, produced by an elastic joint 318, ensuring the retention of the cup 306 in the cavity 302. The cup 306 may include thickeners or beads 314 intended to be lodge between the seal 318 and the bottom 303a of the plate, in order to guarantee a more solid hold in all flexibility. This extra thickness can be achieved, of course, on the cups according to the previous embodiments.

Sur les figures 7 et 8, on a représenté des boîtiers de maquillage respectivement 401 et 501 dans lesquels le moyen de maintien élastique se présente sous forme d'un cavalier périphérique annulaire 418 et 518. Ces cavaliers 418 et 518 sont montés à cheval respectivement sur le bord supérieur de la base B (figure 7) et sur les bords supérieurs de la platine 503 et de la base B (figure 8), de façon à bloquer les coupelles, 406 et 506 respectivement, de produit par dessus. Ces dernières sont maintenues élastiquement par claquage respectivement dans la base B (figure 7) et la platine 503, grâce à une lèvre 426 ou 526 du cavalier 418 ou 518, dirigée vers le fond de la coupelle 406 ou 506, reposant sur son bord supérieur. Les cavaliers 418 et 518 sont réalisés, par exemple, en élastomère surinjecté. en vue d'un rattrapage de jeu éventuel et d'une mise en place facilitée des coupelles 418 et 518, un moyen compressible en matériau déformable, respectivement 424 et 524, peut être prévu entre la coupelle 406 et la base B du boîtier 401 (figure 7) ou entre la platine intermédiaire 503 et la base B du boîtier 501 (figure 8).
Le moyen compressible 424 se présente sous forme d'une mousse élastomérique souple et le moyen 524 sous forme de picots souples surmoulés en élastomère.FIGS. 7 and 8 show makeup cases 401 and 501 respectively in which the elastic holding means is in the form of an annular peripheral jumper 418 and 518. These jumpers 418 and 518 are mounted respectively on the upper edge of the base B (FIG. 7) and on the upper edges of the plate 503 and of the base B (FIG. 8), so as to block the cups, 406 and 506 respectively, of product from above. The latter are held elastically by snap-fastening respectively in the base B (FIG. 7) and the plate 503, by virtue of a lip 426 or 526 of the jumper 418 or 518, directed towards the bottom of the cup 406 or 506, resting on its upper edge. . Jumpers 418 and 518 are made, for example, of over-injected elastomer. for possible backlash and easier fitting of the cups 418 and 518, a compressible means of deformable material, respectively 424 and 524, can be provided between the cup 406 and the base B of the housing 401 ( Figure 7) or between the intermediate plate 503 and the base B of the housing 501 (Figure 8).
The compressible means 424 is in the form of a flexible elastomeric foam and the means 524 in the form of flexible pins overmolded in elastomer.
