- This invention is in a container which has means for removably holding articles and means including an ejector for ejecting the articles from the holding means. More particularly, Figures 1-3 show a preferred embodiment of such a container, in the form of a compact, generally designated 10, comprised of a top portion or cover 12 having mirror 14 attached thereto and a cutout area 16 therein, the cover being movably connected to a bottom portion 18 by suitable means, here shown as hinges 20 such that the cover can open and close the bottom portion.
- the bottom portion has suitable means for holding or securing a platform 22, or one or more other suitable means, for holding a plurality of removable cosmetic articles such as makeup pans 24 ( Figure 3) in the compact.
- the means for securing the platform includes a platform undersurface portion 27 adjacent its outer edge which is adapted to engage and be adhered by a continuous band or spots 5 of adhesive to an upper surface portion 28 of bottom portion side wall 30.
- Platform 22 has a top panel 25 having closed bottomed pockets 32 for receiving cosmetics articles such as a lipstick case 34, and a plurality of recessed areas, here, wells 36.
- Wells 36 are defined by a rim and have side wall portions 38 ( Figure 10) , depending from the platform and communicate with bottom wall portions 40, each well having an aperture 41 therein defined by an edge 42, adjacent to and including a lower or bottom portion of the well.
- Some of the apertures include a passageway 43 defined by edges 43' .
- Sidewall portions 38 have means for removably holding articles in wells 36, here shown as including a shortened sidewall portion 39 having elongated horizontal beads 44 extending outwardly therefrom into the well, and a step 46 at the juncture of platform top wall 25 and one or more portions of side wall portions 38.
- Makeup pans 24 have a peripheral flange 45 extending from their sidewall which rests on a platform step 46, and a continuous groove or one (or more) individual indent 48 which extends into the sidewall and frictionally engages beads 44 to removably hold the pans in the platform.
- Compact bottom portion 18 has a bottom wall 50 which has a plurality of openings 52 therein, each defined by a raised rim 54 and an edge 55. Between platform 22 and a bottom wall 50 there is disposed an article ejector, sometimes referred to herein as an ejector piece or an ejector, generally designated 56 (shown by itself in perspective in Figure 4), comprised of a plurality of buttons 58, a connecting member, here shown as a runner 60 having a main body 61 and arms, here short arms 62 and long arms 62' .
- the arms connect the buttons to each other, and retaining means.
- the retaining means as will be explained, can be second retaining means such as locator means, here shown as a plurality of locator members preferably in the form of bosses 64 which are connected to, and preferably integral with and extending upwardly from runner 60. This retains the ejector in an operative position, wherein each respective button 58 is aligned with a respective bottom wall opening 52, and an overlying pan 2 .
- FIGS 3 through 9 show that the ejector connecting member or runner 60 has a main body 61 and arms 62, 62' which extend perpendicularly outward from the main body, on the same or substantially the same plane as the main body, each arm communicating with a button 58.
- Each button preferably has a lower, depending sidewall 66 and a stop surface, here shown as the undersurface 68 of peripheral flange 70. This surface is adjacent and extends outwardly beyond the sidewall for abutting the bottom v. 1 raised rim 54 and thereby preventing the button from protruding beyond the bottom surface of bottom wall 50.
- Each button preferably also includes an upwardly concave bottom surface 74 which facilitates fingertip placement and the application of pressure centrally within the button bottom surface, and a tab 72 on the top of the button which has less top surface area than the surface area of the button mid-portion or bottom surface for concentrating the pressure upwardly upon the bottom surface of the pan, especially at the top edge of the tab when it is at an angle when the tab contacts the pan.
- Figures 4-9 wherein Figure 5 is a top view, Figure 6 is a vertical sectional view, Figure 7 is a front view, Figure 8 is a bottom view and Figure 9 is an end view of the ejector of this invention.
- Figure 9 shows that the longer arms 62' are vertically thicker than short arms 62 to provide additional rigidity given their longer length such that approximately the same extent of movement of the buttons appended to all arms can be effected with approximately the same pressure.
- Figure 9 also shows that at an outer end portion of longer arms 62 ' , the arms are thinned and approximately the same thickness as short arms 62 and as the central portion of the buttons so that in the preferred embodiment stop surface 54 of outwardly extending flange 70 is uniform and in the same plane throughout its extent. The thinned portion also can provide a slight hinging effect.
- ejector 56 when assembled within compact 10, ejector 56 is disposed below platform 22 and rests on bottom wall 50 of the compact.
- Arms 62, 62' extend under sidewall portions 38 and 39 and into apertures 41 of wells 36 of platform 22 such that most of the entirety of each of buttons 58 is located in and below apertures 41.
- tabs 72 extend above bottom walls 40.
- the top surfaces of button tabs 72 are preferably spaced a small distance below the bottoms of pans 24.
- the container or compact of this invention has retaining means, provided by or part of at least two of the container or compact elements, which consist of the structure or platform, the ejector, and the bottom portion, especially the bottom wall, here shown in these figures as platform 22 providing or having first retaining means which include a receptacle in the form of an elongated, inverted U-shaped channel 76. It is formed primarily between depending side wall portions 38 and 39, and second retaining means, here shown as ejector 56 providing or having one or more bosses 64 of ejector 56 which are held or retained by or within the channel . The first- and second retaining means thereby cooperate with each other to retain the ejector in an aligned operative position.
- the retaining means are adapted such that ejector 56 is retained between adhered compact bottom wall 50 and platform 22 and such that each ejector button 58 is seated within its respective bottom wall opening 52, and is aligned with and operative with respect to the opening and an overlying makeup pan 24 (shown in Figure 3) .
- Figure 10 shows platform 22 and shows, in dashed lines, ejector connecting member or runner 60 and bosses 64 aligned with and held or retained beneath central panel ridge 26.
- Figure 10 also shows that ejector long arms 62' are retained within the confines of the edges 43 ' of aperture passageway 43 and buttons 58 are retained within the confines of edges 42 of apertures 41.
- Figure 11, a side elevation as would be seen along line 11-11 of Figure 10 shows a platform receptacle in the form of inverted substantially U-shaped channel 76 formed in this view by side walls 38, but with ejector 56 removed from the channel .
- Figure 11A is a vertical section taken along a portion of line 11A-11A of Figure 10.
- side wall portions 38 and 39 depend from elongated ridge 26 of central panel 25 and form a receptacle. This is also shown as a U- shaped channel 76 which receives and retains at least one, but desirably a plurality of bosses 64 of ejector 56 in the desired aligned position between platform 22 and bottom wall 50.
- Figure 12 a vertical section taken along line 12-12 of Figure 10 through a portion of inverted U-shaped channel 76, shows ejector bosses 64 aligned with and retained within channel 76 below central panel ridge 26.
- Figure 12 shows the U-shaped channel is formed in part by depending side wall portions 38, and in part by short side wall portions 39.
- Figure 12 also clearly shows the clearance between the bottom edge of short side wall portion 39 and the top surface of ejector short arm 62, which clearance allows arms 62 to be moved upwardly and also buttons 58 to be moved upwardly into apertures 41 to contact and eject an overlying makeup pan from platform 22.
- Figures 13, 14 and 15 show an alternative embodiment of the container or compact of this invention. More particularly, Figure 13 shows a plan view of an alternative bottom wall, generally designated 50', having a plurality of orifices 52' therein, each for receiving a button 58' of an ejector piece 56' (shown in Figures 14 and 15), and smaller diameter orifices 57' each for receiving a downwardly depending locator means, boss or foot 65' which depends from ejector 56" .
- Figure 14 is a bottom plan view of an alternative ejector, generally designated 56', here shown as a one- piece gasket G comprised of two juxtaposed panel sections P, joined by a connecting or bridge member 60', each panel section having an outer boundary, here including parallel side edges 63' with a plurality of ejector buttons 58' preferably integrally connected to and extending from the side edges of the panel sections.
- the plurality of buttons need not be but preferably are arranged in two sets, one set connected to the side edge of one panel section, and the other set connected to the side edges of the other panel section.
- the panel sections each have locator members which also serve as feet 65', which are appropriately located to depend downwardly through bottom wall orifices 57' for retaining the gasket in its aligned operative position and for supporting the compact on the feet.
- the buttons are also positioned and spaced from one another off the periphery or outer boundaries of the panel sections such that they communicate with and sit in openings 52' of bottom wall 50' .
- Platform 22' is sonically welded, or adhesively or otherwise secured to compact bottom side wall 30' .
- Platform 22' has a bottom wall 25' , which has holes 36' therein which are adapted to allow buttons 58' to travel or be moved upwardly therethrough to directly or indirectly contact an overlying makeup pan (not shown) or structure associated therewith. This allows the pan to thereby be ejected from the platform.
- Bottom wall 25' is relatively and sufficiently rigid and preferably rests on or is positioned slightly above the gasket. This is especially the case when the gasket is thin and flexible, and serves to maintain the buttons properly seated in their respective bottom wall openings 52 ' .
- gasket G could of course be comprised of a connecting member in the form of a single panel section having one or more side edges and having buttons connected to the panel section adjacent its side edge(s) .
- the container or compact of this invention preferably is assembled in the following manner.
- the bottom portion 18 is disposed face up on a flat surface and ejector 56 is placed in the bottom portion so that buttons 58 sit within bottom wall openings 52.
- This aligns the buttons with the openings and the close fit between the bottom wall opening side edges 55 and the button side walls 66 retains the buttons aligned and operative in the openings by substantially preventing lateral movement of the ejector relative to the bottom portion.
- Platform 22 is then placed on and secured to the bottom portion 18 such that they will remain secured to each other by an adherent force greater than the pan ejection force.
- the platform undersurface 27 and bottom side wall upper surface are respectively and complementarily stepped (when viewed in vertical section) and their abutting surfaces are secured by any suitable means, preferably by sonic welding. Less preferably, the surfaces can be secured by a band or series of spots of an appropriate adhesive.
- the secured platform is disposed such that inverted U-shaped channel 76 fits over and retains ejector upstanding bosses 64. Likewise, this also provides that edges 43' of passageways 43 encompass the ejector long arms 62' . Platform side walls 38 and 39 of channel 76 retain ejector 56 by helping to prevent the ejector from being displaced laterally in the forward or rearward direction. Edges 43 of passageways 43 and edges 42 of apertures 41 of well bottom walls 40 retain ejector 56 by helping prevent the ejector from being displaced laterally from side-to-side or along the channel.
- Buttons 58 which are and function as locator members, within bottom wall openings, which are and function as receptacles, cooperate to help prevent lateral movement of the ejector relative to the compact.
- the securement of the platform 22 to the bottom portion 18 retains the ejector by preventing vertical displacement of the ejector.
- the above combination of retaining means of this invention cooperate to retain the ejector in its aligned, operative position, although less than the above described preferred combination of retaining means can effectively be employed.
- the ejector of this invention has one or more flexible portions and can be made of any suitable material which is rigid enough for the locator members to be received and maintained in an aligned position. At the same time, it must be flexible enough to allow the respective buttons to be moved a sufficient distance, to contact the buttons or a structure associated therewith to thereby eject the pans from their holding means, and, when the moving pressure is released, to return on their own to their normal position. In the normal position, each is seated within its respective bottom wall opening and preferably such that its respective bottom surface is aligned with the plane of the bottom surface of the compact's bottom wall.
- the ejector connecting member(s) and/or its arms, gasket, panel section(s) and/or button hinges preferably act as a leaf spring in providing the buttons with the aforementioned ejection movement and return capability.
- suitable materials for forming the ejector are synthetic materials such as plastics, e.g. polyolefins and polyesters.
- the preferred material is a polypropylene homopolymer or copolymer, although like materials, also providing sufficient rigidity and flexibility to the ejector (such as polyethylenes of various densities) , can also be used.
- Suitable elastomeric materials can be employed or added to other resins to provide any desired flexibility.
- the ejector and its connecting members and buttons can be of any shape, thickness, design or configuration suitable for performing the functions intended.
- the ejector, connecting member, arms and buttons are in a substantially horizontal plane.
- the ejector can be made by any appropriate method, but preferably the ejector is made by injection molding, as its preferred configuration, e.g. with integral upwardly extending locator means, lends itself to being easily and economically injection molded.
- injection molding as its preferred configuration, e.g. with integral upwardly extending locator means, lends itself to being easily and economically injection molded.
- other suitable forming or molding processes for example, those which employ heat and/or pressure can be employed.
- buttons can be of any suitable number, size, shape and configuration, and they can be appended to or associated with the ejector or connecting member by any appropriate means.
- the buttons preferably are, but need not be integrally formed with a connecting member or gasket.
- the preferred buttons have the aforedescribed stop surface to prevent them from protruding below the bottom surface of compact bottom wall.
- the means for retaining the ejector in aligned operative position within the compact can be or include any appropriate means, which can be part of the compact, its platform or one or more other structures.
- the retaining means can include for example, one or more female means such as receptacles, indents, holes, channels, grooves, loops, or other means cooperative with other retaining means, such as male means, such as locator members, bosses or like male elements, to thereby retain the ejector and buttons in the desired aligned operative positions. It is understood that these cooperative means can be arranged in any appropriate manner, combinations and/or locations.
- the present invention is particularly suitable for application to modern industrial processes.
- the ejector easily and rapidly can be injection molded in large quantities while forming minimal scrap or waste.
- Orientation and assembly of the ejector with the compact components can be automated or otherwise easily, quickly and economically effected. Once assembled, the ejector will retain its aligned operative disposition and the ejector material (s) will retain their movement and return capability during the useful life of the compact.
