Definitions

  • the invention relates to a receptacle for cosmetic product having an opening button for separating the cap from the container.
  • the cosmetic field is a competitive domain that needs to create and invent innovative and original products in order to differentiate from competition and to be attractive, as well as to answer to rapidly changing fashions.
  • a lipstick is a receptacle containing a colored stick arranged inside a container.
  • the container can generally be closed by a cap.
  • the cap and the container can be assembled in order to protect the stick or can be separated when a user wants to apply the stick.
  • connection means like press fitting, magnets or the like.
  • connection means maintain the cap on the container according to a maintaining strength.
  • the user has to strongly hold the cap while removing it from the container. Such kind of actuation is not attractive.
  • Another example relates to lipsticks having a locking mechanism of the cap onto the container, said locking mechanism comprising retaining means.
  • the lipstick is provided with a button able to inactivate the retaining means in order to allow the cap to be separated from the container by the user. But this kind of opening system is still not attractive as the actuation of the button is mandatory to open the lipstick.
  • the goal of the invention is to conceive removable fixation means easy to use and that often an attractive kind of actuation.
  • the invention relates to a receptacle for cosmetic product, said receptacle including a container provided with an internal volume intended to receive the cosmetic product, the receptacle including a cap closing the container, the receptacle including connection means configured to maintain the cap and the container together according to a maintaining strength, the receptacle furthermore including an opening button configured to apply a strength according to a first direction to overcome said maintaining strength in order to separate the cap from the container, the button being actionable by a pressure applied according to a second direction substantially transversal, especially orthogonal, to the first direction.
  • the cap and the container are firmly maintained together before actuation of the button but without being locked. Furthermore, the button arranged on the receptacle is able to disassemble the connection means, the cap being consequently removable from the container. A user just need to push the button to trigger the opening of the lipstick, the actuation of the button inducing a separation strength applied on the cap and the container. If needed, he can also remove the cap from the container without from the container with actuating the button.
  • the invention also relates to an assembly of a receptacle as described above and said cosmetic product.
  • Figure 1 shows a receptacle 1 for cosmetic product, in particular a lipstick, including a container 3 and a cap 4 closing the container 3.
  • the lipstick is provided with an opening button 6 configured to trigger the separation of the cap 4 from the container 3 in order to open the lipstick.
  • the button is arranged substantially at an interface area between said container 3 and said cap 4, said interface area being provided remotely from longitudinal extremities of said receptacle 1.
  • the separated elements forming the lipstick are shown on figure 2 .
  • the container 3 is provided with an internal volume intended to receive a cosmetic product.
  • the shape is cylindrical and provided with a main axis parallel to a first direction. Said container 3 and said cap 4 can be assembled or disassembled according to this axis.
  • the lipstick includes connection means configured to apply a maintaining strength between the cap 4 and the container 3 when the lipstick is closed, said strength being parallel to the axis.
  • the lipstick is here provided with a collar 5 at the interface area between said container 3 and said cap 4.
  • the collar 5 is annular shaped and is placed in the same axis than the container 3 and the cap 4.
  • the collar 5 has one lower portion that can be inserted in the container 3 in order to be permanently fixed, and an upper portion configured to be inserted in the cap 5.
  • the collar 5 comprises one part of said connection means said part being arranged on the upper portion of the collar.
  • this part is at least one excrescence 8 arranged on the external side of the collar 5 upper portion.
  • the other part of the connection means are set inside the cap 4 and consist in a groove carved on the interior side of the cap 4 close to a longitudinal opening end thereof.
  • the groove and excrescence 5 are configured to cooperate in order to apply said maintaining strength between the cap 4 and the container 3.
  • a press fit adjustment or magnets could also be used.
  • the button 6 is permanently fixed to the container 3 through flexible attaching means.
  • the attaching means include a spring arm 11 fixed on one hand into the container 3 and on the other end to the button 6.
  • the container 3 is provided with a housing 17 able to grip the bottom of the spring arm 11 into the container 3.
  • the spring arm 11 and the button 6 are integral.
  • the spring arm 11 is configured to keep the button 6 back in a rest position after a pressure.
  • the container 3 comprises a mobile element 2, here is a cupule shown on figure 2 , configured to receive the cosmetic product.
  • the cosmetic product is a colored stick stored in the cupule that is slotted into the container 3.
  • the container 3 is configured so that the mobile element 16 is movable between two positions, a retracted position allowing to put the cap 4 on the container 3, and an application position allowing to apply the cosmetic product.
  • the container 3 comprises moving means 16 configured to control the mobile element 2.
  • Said cupule is adapted to move along the axis of the container.
  • the moving means 16 is a gliding mechanism comprising a screw arranged at the container base.
  • the screw is actuated by rotation of the container 3 in order to make the stick gliding out of the container 3, the stick being then usable. After the application, the stick is glided into the container 3 by a reverse rotation of the container 3.
  • Figure 4 and 5 represent the operating process of the opening button when it is used.
  • the button 6 is pushed with a pressure applied according to a second direction 13 substantially transversal, especially orthogonal, to the first direction 12.
  • the second direction 13 is here directed radially to the center of the lipstick.
  • the opening button 6 is configured to apply a strength between the cap 4 and the container 3, the strength being applied according to the first direction 12 in order to overcome said maintaining strength, and consequently to trigger the separation of the cap 4 and the container 3.
  • the separation is only triggered and the user may finish the separation by holding the cap and removing it from the container.
  • the button 6 has here circular shape and has a first outlying rim 14 directly in contact with the cap 4, especially with a second rim 15 of a cap base. So, when the button 6 is actuated with a finger of the user, the first rim 14 push said second rim 15 according to the first direction 12 by applying a strength on the second rim 15.
  • the first 14 and second 15 rims faced each other and are oriented in the same direction in order to insure the contact between them.
  • the first 14 and second 15 rims present an angle of inclination relating to the second direction 13 in order to transform the strength applied on the button 6 according to the second direction 13 into a strength applied to the cap 4 according to the first direction 12.
  • the angle of inclination is 45°, so that the strength needed to push the button is minimized.
  • the receptacle 1 comprises an aperture facing the button 6 in order to allow the button to cross through a side of the receptacle 1.
  • the button 6 is at the interface area of the container 3 and the cap 4.
  • a first portion 9 of the aperture is arranged on the container 3 and a second portion 7 of the aperture is arranged on the cap 4.
  • the second portion 7 of the aperture hosts the upper portion of the button when the cap 4 is set on the container 3 and when the button is not pushed.
  • the collar 5 is provided with an opening 10 facing the aperture and inside which said button 6 is inserted when the button 6 is pushed through the aperture.
  • the figure 6 shows the container 3 of the receptacle 1 without the cap 4 and the cupule 2. Between the collar 5 and the first rim 14 of the button 6, is set a space allowing the cap 6 to be inserted when the button is in rest position. More precisely, when the cap 4 is set on the container 3, the second rim 15 of the cap 4 is in a closed position to the first rim 14 of the button 6.
