Definitions
- the invention relates to a case, of the make-up case type comprising at least two parts articulated one on the other around a pivot axis.
- the invention relates in particular to a housing comprising a bottom defining a receptacle for the product and a hinged cover on the bottom.
- the invention also relates to housings of the type comprising a bottom in which a plate is arranged intermediate defining a receptacle for the product, the cover being hinged either on the bottom or on the intermediate plate.
- housings of the type comprising a bottom in which a plate is arranged intermediate defining a receptacle for the product, the cover being hinged either on the bottom or on the intermediate plate.
- a first articulation system commonly used is described for example in the patent French 2,676,626 in which the housing consists of a bottom, a partition intermediate, and of a cover manufactured respectively by injection of a thermoplastic material and hinged together by a metal hinge reported.
- Such an embodiment has the drawbacks of requiring a mounting operation of this axis, therefore increasing the time and cost of manufacturing, and detract from the aesthetic appearance of the finished product, due to the passage of the axis which can be visible from the outside.
- the make-up boxes sold in large retail chains distribution are less elaborate and generally have a hinge integrated into the housing components.
- the English patent 2,140,392 describes a case comprising a bottom, a cover and a flexible plate, having the form of a frame which is assembled by elastic snap-fastening in the background.
- the frame In its rear part, the frame has a clearance defined between two bosses projecting towards the rear, each of these bosses being shaped in a hinge bearing for an axis.
- Each landing has substantially the shape of a U opening downwards through a passage of width less than the diameter of a axis, and delimited between the two flexible wings of the bearing, this passage emerging in a housing in which an axis is intended to be pivoted.
- Such housings with integrated hinges have the advantage of being simple and not very expensive to make.
- the articulation of the cover on the bottom is however generally rudimentary, and does not present as only function the rotation of the cover on the bottom. Furthermore, the operating clearances of these joints are more important over use.
- Document DE 128515 describes a structure with two articulated parts, one on the other, and whose opening and closing are assisted by means of a structure with ramps, made up of added elements.
- One of the major drawbacks of a such a structure is due in particular to the complexity of its assembly, and in particular to the presence of a coil spring to be mounted in an appropriate housing. The same problems arise with a structure as described in the Patent application EP 0 535 912.
- the ramps have a symmetrical profile with respect to the axis of articulation, each of the profiles having a succession of hollows and ridges alternately. So, in at least two angular positions of the first part with respect to the second, the crests of one of the profiles are opposite the troughs of the other profile.
- the two angular positions include a closed position and an open or semi-open position.
- the housing comprises two arrangements with identical ramps, located on either side of the housing along the axis of articulation.
- the ramps can be kept centered on the axis by means of a centering member male located in the center of the surface of the first ramp and intended to cooperate with a female organ located in the center of the surface of the second ramp.
- the invention also relates to a joint which, in the closed position of the case, is such that the ridges of the first ramp are substantially opposite ridges of the second ramp, elastic means being in this position, maintained under stress, control means, actuable from the outside, allowing the crests of the first ramp to be crossed by the crests of the second, the elastic means then exerting a force of reminder to cause the first ramp to move in rotation on the second ramp, thus inducing an opening movement of the housing until that the crests of the first ramp are substantially opposite the troughs of the second ramp.
- the elastic means comprise two parallel slots formed in the bottom of the housing, each of the slots being provided at vicinity of the corresponding side edge of the housing so as to form two elastic tabs substantially perpendicular to the axis and the free end of which carries said female organ.
- the housing 1 comprises a bottom 2 defining a receptacle for a product such as a makeup product.
- the bottom defines a first recess 3 intended to receive a powder, or a foundation.
- the background also defines a another recess 4 of elongated shape capable of containing an applicator of the type brush or other.
- the makeup product and the applicator may be contained in recesses in a intermediate plate.
- a cover 5 is articulated on the bottom around an axis of pivot A.
- the cover defines a frame 6 inside which is mounted a mirror 8.
- the cover also comprises closing means 9 able to cooperate with a corresponding member 13 provided on the bottom, so to keep the cover in the closed position. None of these elements constitute the subject of the invention and, therefore, they do not require a description additional detail.
- FIGS 3 to 5 which are now referred to, illustrate schematic different embodiments of a joint 50 according to the present invention.
- the housing has two joints 50 according to the invention, located on each side of the housing along the axis A.
- such a housing may include on one side, a hinge conforming to the invention, and on the other side an articulation of the type with integrated hinge such as discussed in the preamble to this description.
- each of the joints comprises a first male member 20 carried by a boss 12, integral with the cover in the vicinity of the edge opposite the edge carrying the closure element 9, and projecting from the plane of the cover.
- the boss carries a pin cylindrical 20 located in the axis A and one end of which is integral with the boss. The other free end has on its cross section a surface forming a ramp 22.
- the ramp has two portions in bevel (projecting) symmetrical with respect to a plane passing through the axis, of so that the surface of the ramp defines two ridges 23, 24 separated by recessed portions 25, 26.
- an element is moving on the surface of the ramp 22, at a given distance from the edge, follows a trajectory forming an alternation of hollows and bumps.
- the pin 20 is extended by a centering member 27, in the form of a stud, protruding from the tops of the ramp.
- the joint comprises a female member 28, in the form of a recess formed on a side edge of the bottom of the housing in alignment with the hinge pin (A).
- the lateral edge of the bottom of the case forms in the vicinity of the joint, a step whose width is substantially equal to that of the boss 12.
- the bottom of the recess has a surface forming a ramp 33 whose profile is complementary to the profile of the first ramp.
- the ramp 33 has two beveled (re-entrant) portions, symmetrical with respect to to a plane passing through axis A, so that the surface of the ramp defines two ridges 29, 30 separated by hollow portions 31, 32.
- the recess extends in the direction opposite to the vertices 29 and 30 by a hole 34 aligned with axis A and intended to receive the centering element 27 of the male organ.
- the elastic means comprise two substantially parallel slots 13, 14 formed in the bottom of the housing, each slots being provided in the vicinity of the corresponding edge of the housing so as to form two elastic tabs 11 substantially perpendicular to the axis and whose free end carries said female member 28.
- the means elastic bands are carried by the cover.
- each of the ramps 22, 33 has 3 vertices separated by about 120 °, oriented so as to allow indexing in the closed position, and a in semi open position (120 ° from the bottom of the housing).
- Others configurations can also be envisaged, by changing the position angular crests, or by changing the number.
- the profile of the surface of the ramp may be of the type of that of the end section of a Phillips screwdriver. According to another alternative, an operation is obtained softer housing by giving the ramps a sinusoidal shape.
- the ramps 22, 33 have a profile helical.
- the opening angle of the cover is limited by one part by the edge 35 between two adjacent turns of the helical thread, and secondly by the stop effect of the cover on the bottom.
- the ridges of the first ramp are substantially opposite the second ramp ridges.
- the angular offset between the vertices may be of the order of a few degrees, depending on the sensitivity wanted at the opening.
- the means elastics are kept under stress. Control means, actuable from the outside, allow the crossing of ridges of the first ramp by the ridges of the second, the elastic means then exerting a restoring force to cause the rotational displacement of the first ramp on the second ramp, thus inducing movement opening the housing until the crests of the first ramp are substantially opposite the hollows of the second ramp.
- actuation of the elastic means causes the lid to open by relative to the housing at an angle of up to 90 ° or more.
- the closure of case will require pressure on the cover to tension the elastic means, bringing the ridges of the cover ramp substantially opposite the ridges of the bottom ramp.
- the clasp 9 is used as a control means to cause the crossing the ridges. Such an embodiment is illustrated in FIGS. 6A and 6B.
- the ramp of the male member 20 is offset angularly relative to the ramp of the female member 28 so that the ridges of the male organ are almost opposite the ridges of the organ female.
- the bottom 2 is moved along the axis A relative to the cover 5, which causes a constraint (arrow B) of the tab elastic 11, illustrated by the angle ⁇ .
- this angle can be of the order 80 °.
