Definitions

  • the present invention relates to packaging devices, and more particularly those intended to contain at least one cosmetic product.
  • cosmetic product is meant a product as defined in the Directive 93/35 / EEC of June 14, 1993.
  • the invention relates to a device comprising at at least two boxes configured so that they can overlap along an axis stacking and at least one hinge for pivoting at least partially one of the housings relative to the other about a geometric axis of non-parallel rotation to the stacking axis, the housings each defining a housing.
  • the geometric axis of rotation can be perpendicular to the stacking axis.
  • the device can be configured so that the housings of the two boxes can be opened independently of each other.
  • the different boxes when superimposed, form a column which is behaves like a single piece that can be easily transported or stored.
  • the user can "break" the column by rotating one by compared to the other two boxes, which allows access to the housing of one of the boxes.
  • the column can be manipulated while the user is holding it with one hand.
  • the user can be exempted from fitting a cover to access one of the housings, which facilitates the use of the device in particular in environments individuals such as the car or transport, in which the user does not have necessarily a stable horizontal flat surface where to put a cover. Avoiding having to put a cover also reduces the risk of bringing the cover in contact with clothes, for example, and stain them.
  • One of the cases may have a cover, connected by the hinge to this housing, and the other housing can be fixed on this cover, in particular removably.
  • One of the boxes can also be configured to form a cover for closing of the other box.
  • Each box can have a cover.
  • each cover can be secured to the case which is immediately superior to it when the cases are superimposed and the axis of the stack is vertical.
  • each box can be used, except for the lowest case, to closing cover for the box immediately below it when the housings are superimposed and the axis of the stack is vertical.
  • All boxes can be stacked in the same direction, or at least two of them, or even three boxes can be stacked in the same direction.
  • Enclosures may each have an opening, the openings being directed in the same direction, especially up.
  • At least one of the housings can be sealed when the boxes are superimposed. All housings can be sealed.
  • the device can include at least two boxes, or even at least three enclosures, in particular four or even five enclosures, configured so that they can be overlap, and at least two hinges, or even at least three hinges.
  • the device can comprise at least two hinges offset angularly around the stacking axis of the boxes. Two hinges can be offset angularly from an angle other than 180 °.
  • At least one of the housings can contain a product, in particular a product cosmetic or care. At least two or more dwellings can contain different products, for example products with different colors or products containing different active ingredients.
  • At least one of the housings can also contain an application member, in particular the housing defined by an end box.
  • the device may include fixing means by screwing, snap-fastening or by friction on a container or on a closure cap of a container.
  • the device can also be devoid of snap fastening means, screwing or friction on a container.
  • the invention also relates to a device comprising at least two boxes configured so that they can be superimposed along a stacking axis, one at less of the housings having a hinged cover with a hinge, the other housing being attached to this cover, the hinge making it possible to pivot at least partially one of the housings relative to the other around a geometric axis of rotation not parallel to the stacking axis.
  • the cover can be arranged so as to allow the removable fixing of the other box.
  • the invention also relates to a device comprising at least three housings configured so that they can overlap along a stacking axis and at least one hinge making it possible to pivot at least partially one of the housings relative to another around a geometric axis of rotation not parallel to the stacking axis, these enclosures each defining a housing, each housing serving, except for the most bottom, closing cover for the case which is immediately below it when the boxes are superimposed and that the stacking axis is vertical.
  • the invention also relates to a device comprising at least two boxes configured so that they can be superimposed along a stacking axis, and at minus a hinge connecting the two housings and allowing to rotate at least partially one of the housings relative to the other around a geometric axis of rotation not parallel to the stacking axis, these housings each defining a housing, at least two of the dwellings with different products.
  • the invention also relates to a device comprising at least three housings configured so that they can overlap along a stacking axis, and at least one hinge making it possible to pivot at least partially one of the housings relative to the other around a geometric axis of rotation not parallel to the stacking axis, these housings each defining a housing, at least one of the housings being fixed so removable on the immediately lower case.
  • the invention also relates to a device comprising at least two boxes configured so that they can be superimposed along a stacking axis, and at at least one hinge allowing one of the housings to be pivoted at least partially relative to each other around a geometric axis of rotation not parallel to the axis stacking, these boxes each defining a housing, at least the defined housing by the end box comprising an applicator member.
  • the subject of the invention is also a capsule for closing a container, comprising a device as defined above.
  • the capsule may include a base portion configured to attach to a container and allow the removable attachment of a device as defined above.
  • the invention also relates to a container equipped with a device such as defined above.
  • the container closure cap may include at least three housings.
  • At least one of the boxes can be removably attached to the box immediately lower.
  • FIG. 1 and 2 there is shown in Figures 1 and 2 an example of device 1 made according to the invention, comprising a plurality of housings which can be superimposed along a stacking axis X, namely a lower housing 2 and an upper housing 3, and possibly between them one or more intermediate boxes 4.
  • Hinges 7 allow each housing to be pivoted at least partially relative to a adjacent housing.
  • Each hinge 7 is preferably a film hinge produced by plastic molding with at least one of the housings.
  • hinge 7. This can include two bridges of material 8 each comprising a zone thinned 9 allowing pivoting around a geometric axis of rotation Z no parallel to the stacking axis X and between the two material bridges 8 a connecting tab 10, configured to tend to hold the hinge in the open position when both parts hinged to each other have pivoted beyond a certain angular travel, by example of the order of 90 °.
  • the connecting tab 10 goes through a state of maximum stress when the opening stroke reaches this value.
  • the Z axis is substantially perpendicular to the X axis.
  • hinges could still be used without it being sort of the scope of the present invention, for example film hinges devoid of connecting lug 10 and comprising for example only one bridge of material 8.
  • Each box 2, 3 or 4 defines a housing 12 which can contain a product cosmetic P.
  • the product P can be contained directly in the corresponding box, as illustrated in FIG. 4, or be contained in a cup 13, as illustrated in the Figure 5, this cup 13 can for example be removed if necessary from the housing 4 for replace it.
  • the housings can be made of a plastic material, in particular a transparent or translucent plastic material.
  • the hinges 7 are offset angularly with respect to each other around the stacking axis X.
  • the first two housings there is shown, for the sake of clarity of the drawing, that the first two housings.
  • the offset of the hinges 7 facilitates access to the legs 14 and 15, in particular when each housing has a relatively low height.
  • Each case may include a body 16 and a cover 17 connected to the body 16 by the corresponding hinge 7, and the housing which is immediately above it can have a bottom wall 18 which is fixed for example by means of a layer of adhesive 19 on the upper face of the cover 17, as shown in FIG. 7. It can be seen in additionally in FIG. 7 that the cover 17 may include a sealing lip 24 intended to be applied to the inner surface of the body 16 of the lower housing.
  • the upper housing may include means for attachment 21 intended to cooperate with complementary attachment means 22 integral of the cover 17.
  • the fixing means 20 and 21 are configured to cooperate by latching in the example illustrated, but they could still cooperate by screwing or by friction.
  • the force required to separate the housing from the cover is greater than that required to cause the lid to open.
  • the wall bottom of the upper case so that it serves as a cover for the lower case, as illustrated in Figure 9.
  • the bottom wall 18 of the upper housing has a sealing lip 24 configured to adjust sealingly on the inner surface of the body of the lower case.
  • At least one of the housings 12 can be configured to receive not a product but an applicator member 27, as illustrated in FIG. 10.
  • FIG. 10 partially shown the end box 3 with a cover 17 comprising a wall 28 configured to allow the application member 27 to be housed in the housing 3.
  • the column of housings can be part of a closure capsule 29 of a container 30, as illustrated in FIG. 11.
  • Such a closure cap 29 may include, as can be seen in the Figure 12, a skirt 32 configured to be screwed onto a threaded neck of the container 30 and a sealing lip 33 intended to be applied against a corresponding surface of the container 30, in order to obtain a tight closure thereof.
  • the upper part of the closure cap is configured so as to form the body 34 of a first housing of the column, this body defining a housing 12 containing a product P.
  • FIG. 13 shows a column of housings 2, 3, 4 similar to that described with reference to Figures 1 to 8, the housing 2 being further provided with means for attachment to a closure cap 39 of a container 30.
  • the container 30 with a shape different from that of the container of FIG. 11, to illustrate the fact that the invention was not limited to a container having a particular shape.
  • the housing 2 can be provided with a thread 40 intended to cooperate with a corresponding thread 41 of the capsule 39.
  • the housing 2 can be provided for this purpose, by example, of an annular bead 43 intended to snap into an annular groove corresponding 44 produced on the capsule 39.
  • the housing has a fixing part 45 configured to cooperate by friction with a surface 46 of the capsule 39.
  • the user can "break” the column at the height corresponding to the product he wishes to use.
  • the column “broken” at the end box 2 and FIG. 18, the “broken” column at the level of a housing adjacent to the housing 2.
  • the user Before or after having “opened” the column to the desired level, the user can separate the capsule 39 from the container 30 and use for example an applicator member 48 integral with the container 30 for taking the product P contained in the housing which has been open, as illustrated in figure 19.
  • the user can take only one product and then apply it on the support to be treated or, alternatively, remove for example by means of the same applicator body 48 several products successively in different housings of the column, for example to create a mixture of colors or textures.
  • At least one of the products contained in the various housings 12 of the column can for example be composed of solid bodies of a relatively large important, for example glitter, which would be unable to pass through the organ application 48 if they were contained in the container 30, in the case where this member Application 48 would consist of a porous material, for example a foam.
  • the product contained in the container 30 may for example be a liquid foundation and the user can come and collect with the application member 48, in one of the housings, glitter having the desired color.
  • the column of boxes can include a number of boxes different from those of the examples illustrated, for example two boxes only, or three boxes, or even four boxes.
  • the column of housings can also be associated with a container on which is fixed an application member other than a foam, for example a frit.
