Description
Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to the field of refillable devices for packaging and applying cosmetics.
Background
In particular, in the cosmetic field, users are particularly sensitive to the aesthetics of the application and packaging device. However, the cost of aesthetic application and packaging devices is high, which further increases the cost of cosmetics sold commercially in this form.
A concept is presented that includes a painting and packaging device that provides an aesthetic appearance, containing a single replacement package that may be less aesthetically pleasing, but with a cheaper package. Preferably, the replacement cartridge is removable such that the application and packaging device can be reloaded by replacing the removable replacement cartridge.
In particular, the application and packaging device may comprise a housing formed by the base and the cover, the housing being at least partially made of metal. In fact, such a housing is particularly appreciated by the user, especially from an aesthetic point of view. In addition, such a refillable device may present an improved environmental footprint because only the refill is discarded after the cosmetic product has been used.
In this case, however, fixing the refill into the cover may cause problems.
In practice, the fixing of the refill into the housing is advantageously performed by snap-fitting. However, in this case, it is difficult to perform a firm snap fit to ensure that the replacement cartridge is held in the housing and can also be easily released for removal and replacement of the replacement cartridge.
Disclosure of Invention
The present disclosure improves the situation.
The present disclosure proposes a refillable cosmetic application and packaging device comprising:
A housing defining a shell, said housing presenting at least one first snap-fit projection, and

Detailed Description
In the remainder of the description, elements that are identical or have identical functions bear identical reference numerals. For the sake of brevity of this description, in the context of the detailed description of each of these examples, the same elements in several examples are not described in detail. Rather, the following description primarily details differences between different instances.
Fig. 1 schematically illustrates a first example of a cosmetic product application and packaging device 10 in a perspective view. According to this first example, the cosmetic product is presented in the form of a stick. In particular, the cosmetic product may be a lipstick, a skin or a lip care product, in particular a lip balm, a sunscreen product for the lips or the skin.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the application and packaging device 10 basically includes a housing 12 and a refill 14. The housing 12 includes (here) a base 15 and a cover 16. As shown, the application and packaging device 10, and in particular the housing 12, has a generally cylindrical shape, extending mainly in the direction of the extension axis a10 of the application and packaging device 10. Here, the application and packaging device 10 has a generally cylindrical shape with an oval cross-section. Of course, other general shapes of the application and packaging device 10 are possible. In particular, the application and packaging device 10 may have a generally cylindrical shape with a circular or polygonal cross-section.
The base 15 of the housing 12 is shown in cross-section in fig. 3. The base 15 of the housing 12 comprises firstly a cylindrical outer housing 18, which extends mainly in the direction of an axis of extension a15 of the base 15 of the housing 12, which here corresponds to the axis a10 in the application and packaging device 10. Here, the outer housing 18 has an elliptical cross section. The outer housing 18 may be made of any material that will occur to those of skill in the art to form the housing of the stick-shaped cosmetic application and packaging device 10, particularly from glass, metal (particularly aluminum or aluminum alloys, particularly Zamak), ceramic, porcelain, crystal and plastic (particularly polymethyl methacrylate, polystyrene, polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate), ionomer resins (e.g., under the trade nameKnown ethylene vinyl copolymers), wood and urea formaldehyde.
The outer housing 18 has a ridge 20 on its radially inner surface. Here, the ridge 20 is linear and parallel to the axis a15 of the base 15 of the housing 12. Here, the ridge 20 extends over only a portion of the height of the outer housing 18, oriented in the direction of the axis a15 of the base 15 of the housing 12. For example, the ridge 20 extends over at least two-thirds of the height of the outer housing 18, preferably over at least three-fourths of the height of the outer housing 18.
According to the example shown, the base 15 of the housing 12 also comprises a capsule (capsule) 22 fixed to the end of the outer housing 18. Thus, the capsule 22 closes one longitudinal end of the cylindrical outer housing 18. As shown, the capsule 22 may present a base plate 24 intended to form the longitudinal end of the application and packaging device 10. One face of the base plate 24 of the capsule 22 that is oriented outside the outer housing 18 may then contain an item or decoration that is formed directly on the base plate 24 or applied to this base plate 24 of the capsule 22.
The capsule 22 further comprises a crown 26 protruding from the bottom plate 24. Here, crown 26 has a generally cylindrical shape along axis a15 of base 15 of housing 12 and has an oval cross-section that is substantially complementary to the internal cross-section of outer housing 18. The crown 24 may thus be clamped into the outer shell 18. The crown 24 presents on its radially outer surface recesses 28, one of which receives a portion of the ridge 20 of the outer shell 18. Receiving a portion of ridge 20 in a particular recess 28 may have a fool-proofing function to secure capsule 22 in a particular orientation relative to outer housing 18. Here, the crown 26 also presents a recess 30 on its radially inner surface. The recesses 30 on the radially inner surface of the crown 26 are angularly offset relative to the recesses 28 on the radially outer surface of the crown 26 such that, in angle, the recesses 30 on the radially inner surface are each time between two recesses 28 on the radially outer surface and the recesses 28 on the radially outer surface are each time between two recesses 30 on the radially inner surface. By limiting the thickness of the crown 26, this configuration enables a capsule 22 to be obtained that is lighter and easier to manufacture by molding.
Or capsule 22 may be integral with outer housing 18.
The base 15 of the housing 12 further includes an insert 32 received in the outer housing 18. To this end, the insert 32 presents a general shape that is substantially complementary to the shape of the outer housing 18. Specifically, in the example shown, the insert 32 presents a cylindrical portion 34 complementary to the cross section of the outer housing 18. The groove 36 is on the radially outer surface of the cylindrical portion 34. The recess 36 is substantially rectilinear and parallel to the axis a15 of the base 15 of the housing 12. One of the grooves 36 here receives the ridge 20 on the radially inner surface of the outer housing 18. Likewise, receiving a portion of ridge 20 in a particular groove 36 may have a foolproof function with respect to the orientation of insert 32 relative to outer housing 18.
Or receiving a portion of the ridge 20 in the groove 36 prevents relative rotation of the two portions about the axis a15 of the base 15 of the housing 12. In this case, however, it is preferable that each of the plurality of ridges 20 is at least partially received in the corresponding groove 36.
In addition, the insert 32 here forms two tabs 38 which project in the direction of the axis a15 of the base 15 of the housing 12 relative to the cylindrical portion 34 and which extend in the extension of the outer surface of the cylindrical portion 34. However, the insert 32, and in particular the cylindrical portion 34, forms a flange 35 at the base of the tab 38. The lugs 37 project from the flange 35 in the direction of the axis a15 of the base 15 of the housing 12.
The insert 32 further forms an engagement protrusion 40. Here, the engagement projection 40 is in the form of a projection having an outer cylindrical shape along the axis a15 of the base 15 of the housing 12. Here, the engaging protrusion 40 has a 5-pointed star-shaped cross section. Of course, other shapes of engagement projections may be obtained by those skilled in the art. In particular, the engagement projection 40 may take on a priori any cylindrical shape having a non-circular cross section, in particular having a polygonal cross section.
According to the example shown, the base 15 of the housing 12 further comprises a magnet 42. The magnet 42 is received, for example, between two tabs 38 of the insert 32, in contact with the flange 35 of the insert 32. In the example shown, the magnet 42 also includes a recess 44 that receives the lug 37 of the insert 32. Thus, the orientation of the magnet 42 relative to the insert 32 and thus to the base 15 of the housing 12 is ensured, as the orientation of the insert 32 is ensured by the fool-proof means formed by receiving the ridge 20 in the groove 36. This is particularly interesting when the magnet 42 is a quadrupole magnet.
Finally, the base 15 of the housing 12 includes a sleeve 46. Here, the sleeve 46 is made of metal, for example, aluminum or an aluminum alloy such as Zamak. The sleeve 46 includes a cylindrical portion 48 having a circular cross-section, a first annular portion 50 projecting radially outwardly relative to the cylindrical portion 48 at a first end of the cylindrical portion 48, and a second annular portion 52 projecting radially inwardly relative to the cylindrical portion 48 at a second end of the cylindrical portion 48. The second annular portion 52 defines a central opening through which extends a cylindrical seat 41 of circular cross-section of the engagement projection 40 of the insert 32. The first annular portion 50 defines, with the outer housing 18, the insert 32, and in particular the cylindrical portion 34 of the insert 32 and the cylindrical portion 48 of the sleeve 46, an outer shell for receiving the magnet 42.
In addition, as can be seen more particularly in fig. 7, the cylindrical portion 48 of the sleeve 46 forms two snap-fit projections 54 (or gripping projections). Here, the two snap projections 54 are symmetrical with respect to the axis a15 of the base 15 of the housing 12. As shown, each snap-fit protrusion 54 includes a grip tab 56 extending between two slots 58.
Here, the slots 58 are all identical, and are understood herein to refer to openings that traverse the wall of the cylindrical portion 48 of the sleeve 46 in a radial direction relative to the axis a15 of the base 15 of the housing 12. Thus, each groove 58 traverses the thickness of the sleeve 46, particularly the thickness of the cylindrical portion of the sleeve 46 forming the groove. Each slot 58 may be made by removing material from the sleeve 46. Alternatively, however, each slot 58 may be made by cutting the sleeve 46, and in particular the cylindrical portion 48 of the sleeve 46, without substantially removing material from the sleeve 46. In each case, each groove 58 here separates the two edges of the material of the sleeve 46, in particular the cylindrical portion 48 of the sleeve 46, in the orthogonal direction. Each slot 58 here extends longitudinally parallel to the axis a15 of the base 15 of the housing 12. Thus, in the example shown, each slot 58 is rectilinear.
As seen in fig. 7, each slot 58 has no outlet because each slot 58 extends between two longitudinal ends formed in the sleeve 46, particularly in the cylindrical portion 48 of the sleeve 46. The slots 58 make the sleeve 46, and in particular the cylindrical portion 48 of the sleeve 46 between two adjacent slots 58, substantially more flexible, wherein the cylindrical portion 48 of the sleeve 46 forms the gripping tab 56.
Each gripping tab 56 presents a projection 60 projecting radially towards the inside. Thus, each projection 60 protrudes relative to the remainder of the grip tab 56 from which it came. Here, the protruding boss 60 is formed by a boss of the holding tab 56. This boss is made by deformation of the gripping tab 56. Thus, the grip tab 56 exhibits substantially no increased thickness at the protruding boss 60. Here, the boss 60 is substantially orthogonal in that the entire portion extending between two adjacent slots 58 is dome-shaped, substantially in the shape of an angular sector of a cylinder. Alternatively, however, the protruding boss 60 may be formed from beads or any other shape accessible to those skilled in the art.
As shown in fig. 7, each tab 56 is integral with the remainder of the sleeve 46, and in particular with the cylindrical jacket of the cylindrical portion 48 of the sleeve 46, at each end thereof. Each tab 56 is separated from the remainder of the sleeve 46 along a lateral side of the tab 56 by a slot 58 that extends parallel to the axis a15 of the base 15 of the housing 12, each slot extending along a lateral side of the tab 56.
In addition to the protruding projections 60, each tab 56 may extend in the extension of the cylindrical jacket of the cylindrical portion 48 of the sleeve 46, where appropriate. In this case, only the protruding boss 60 is not contained in the extension of the cylindrical sheath of the cylindrical portion 48 of the sleeve 46. Alternatively, however, each tab 56 does not extend in an extension of the cylindrical jacket of the cylindrical portion 48 of the sleeve 46.
Each tab 56 (and thus each slot 58) may have a length, measured herein according to the direction of the axis a15 of the base 15 of the housing 12, equal to or greater than 1mm, preferably equal to or greater than 2mm, and/or equal to or less than 10mm, preferably equal to or less than 5mm.
Each protruding boss 60 extends longitudinally in a direction perpendicular to the axis a15 of the base 15 of the housing 12, here in an orthogonal direction relative to the axis a15 of the base 15 of the housing 12. Each protruding bump 60 may be over the entire width of the corresponding tab 56. Alternatively, however, each protruding bump 60 is only over one portion of the width of tab 56 between two slots 58. In particular, each protruding bump 60 may be over at least half of the width of the tab 56, preferably over at least three-fourths of the width of the tab 56.
Each protruding bump 60 may be formed substantially between one third and two thirds of the height of the corresponding tab 56, particularly in the middle of the height of the corresponding tab 56. In fact, in particular, the deformation of the tab 56 is more pronounced towards the middle of its height than at its longitudinal ends.
The protruding boss 60 presents a height measured along the direction of the axis a15 of the base 15 of the housing 12 that is smaller than the height of the groove 58 measured along the same direction of the axis a15 of the base 15 of the housing 12. For example, the height of the protruding boss 60 is equal to or greater than 0.1mm, preferably equal to or greater than 0.5mm, and/or equal to or less than 3mm, preferably equal to or less than 2mm. The height of the protruding boss 60 is preferably limited relative to the height of the gripping tab 56. For example, the height of the protruding boss 60 represents less than 20%, preferably less than 10% of the height of the gripping tab 56. The width of the protruding boss 60 measured in the circumferential or orthogonal direction may be equal to or greater than 1mm, preferably equal to or greater than 2mm, and/or equal to or less than 10mm, preferably equal to or less than 5mm. The distance between the top of the protruding boss 60 and the cylindrical jacket of the cylindrical portion 48 of the sleeve 46, measured in a radial direction with respect to the axis a15 of the base 15 of the housing 12, may be less than 2mm, preferably less than 1mm. Thus, the tab 56 exhibits good flexibility while maintaining satisfactory mechanical strength.
Each tab 56 provided with a protruding projection 60 extending between two slots 58 thus forms a snap projection 54 on the cylindrical portion 48 of the sleeve 46. Preferably, each snap-fit projection 54 is comprised of such a tab 56 extending between two slots 58 and provided with a protruding projection 60. In a significant manner, such snap-fit projections 54 are formed from a metal component, in this case sleeve 46. In other words, the snap projections 54 can thus be made to exhibit sufficient elasticity to deform even if the snap projections 54 are formed from a metal component, in this case from the sleeve 46. It is interesting to manufacture the metal snap projections 54 in more than one way. First, metals are easier to recycle than plastics. In addition, metal is stronger than plastic, so that the risk of indentation of the metal snap projections 54 is reduced.
The sleeve 46 may exhibit a thickness, for example, equal to or greater than 0.1mm and/or equal to or less than 1mm. Thus, the sleeve 46 is also rigid, such that it is difficult or even impossible to deform the sleeve 46 freehand without being at the level of the tabs 56.
Fig. 4 shows schematically in cross section a replacement package 14 which is intended to be received in the previously described housing 12, in particular in the base 15 of the housing 12.
The refill 14 comprises a lipstick mechanism 62, schematically represented in fig. 4, here consisting of said lipstick mechanism. The refill 14 has a generally cylindrical shape, extending mainly along the direction of the axis a14, the axis a14 coinciding with the axis a10 of the application and packaging device 10 when said device is assembled.
In a case known per se, the mechanism 62 receives a stick of cosmetic product B. The mechanism 62 includes, for example, a base plate 64, a cup 66, and a neck 68. The mechanism 62 is adapted to move the cup 66 to which the stick of cosmetic product B is fixed with respect to the neck 68 between a retracted position, shown in fig. 4, in which the application and packaging device 10 is able to be closed by the cover 16, and an extended position for applying the cosmetic product, in which the stick of cosmetic product B protrudes from the neck 68. In lipstick mechanisms of this type, typically a stick of cosmetic product B is moved between its two positions by pivoting the neck 68 relative to the base 64 of the mechanism 14. The base plate 64 may present a helical groove (not shown) to guide rotation of at least one projection integral with the cup 66 relative to the base plate 14 via the neck 68.
It can be noted that the bottom plate 64 lacks longitudinal ridges on its outer surface parallel to the axis a14 of the refill 14. However, the bottom plate 64 forms a recess 70 complementary to the cross section of the engagement protrusion 40. Thus, by receiving engagement projection 40 in complementary recess 70, base plate 64 rotates integrally with housing 12 about axis a14 of refill 14. Thus, the lipstick mechanism 62 may be controlled by rotating the neck 68 relative to the base 15 of the housing 12. Other means of integrally rotating the base plate 64 and the base 15 of the housing 12 may be used by those skilled in the art. For example, the bottom plate 64 may present a groove on its outer surface, for example extending parallel to the axis a14 of the refill 14, and receiving a complementary ridge formed on the radially inner surface of the insert 32, which rotates integrally with the outer housing 18 of the base 12.
In addition, the bottom plate 64 presents a groove 72 on its outer contour, which is here circular.
The housing 12 of the cosmetic dispensing and packaging device 10 further includes a cover 16, here in the form of a lid 16.
The cover 16 presents a substantially cylindrical shape, mainly extending along an axis a16, the axis a16 coinciding with the axis a10 of the application and packaging device 10 when said device is assembled.
The cover 16 first includes an outer housing 74. Here, the outer housing 74 is cylindrical along the axis a16 of the cover 16. Here, the outer housing 74 has an elliptical cross section that is substantially the same as the cross section of the outer housing 18 of the housing 12.
The outer housing 74 of the cap 16 may be made of any material that will occur to those of skill in the art to form the housing of the stick-shaped cosmetic application and packaging device 10, particularly from glass, metal (particularly aluminum or aluminum alloys, particularly Zamak), ceramics, porcelain, crystals and plastics (particularly polymethyl methacrylate, polystyrene, polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate), ionomer resins (e.g., under the trade nameKnown ethylene vinyl copolymers), wood and urea formaldehyde.
Preferably, the outer shell 74 of the cover 16 is of the same material as the outer shell 18 of the base 15 of the housing 12.
The outer housing 74 here has a ridge 76 on its radially inner surface. Here, the ridge 76 is rectilinear and parallel to the axis a16 of the cover 16. Here, the ridge 76 extends over only a portion of the height of the outer housing 74, oriented in the direction of the axis a16 of the cover 16. For example, the ridge 76 extends over at least two-thirds of the height of the outer housing 74, preferably over at least three-fourths of the height of the outer housing 74.
In addition, the lid 16 includes a capsule 78 secured to one end of the outer housing 74. Thus, the capsule 78 closes one longitudinal end of the cylindrical outer housing 74. As shown, the capsule 78 may present a base plate 80 intended to form the longitudinal end of the application and packaging device 10. One face of the base plate 80 of the capsule 78 that is oriented outside of the outer housing 74 may then contain items or decorations formed directly on the base plate 80 or applied to this base plate 80 of the capsule 78. Here, the capsule 78 is applied to the outer housing 74. Alternatively, however, the capsule 78 may be integral with the outer housing 74.
The capsule 78 further includes a crown 82 protruding from the base plate 80. Here, crown 86 has a generally cylindrical shape along axis a16 of cover 16. The crown 82 has a generally oval-shaped cross-section. Crown 82 is substantially complementary to the internal cross-section of outer shell 74. The crown 82 may thus be clamped into the outer shell 74. Here, the crown 82 presents, on its radially outer surface and on its radially inner surface, recesses 84, one of which receives a portion of the ridge 76 of the outer shell 74. Receiving the ridge 76 of the outer housing 74 in the specific recess 84 also enables foolproof means regarding the orientation of the capsule 76 relative to the outer housing 74.
The cover 16 further includes an insert 86 received in the outer housing 74. To this end, the insert 86 presents a general shape that is substantially complementary to the shape of the outer housing 74. Specifically, in the example shown, the insert 86 presents a cylindrical portion 88 complementary to the cross-section of the outer housing 74. The groove 90 is on the radially outer surface of the cylindrical portion 88 of the insert 86. The recess 90 is substantially rectilinear and parallel to the axis a16 of the cover 16. One of the grooves 90 here receives the ridge 76 on the radially inner surface of the outer housing 74. Thus, the ridge 76 and the groove 90 receiving the ridge 76 form a foolproof means for assembling the insert 86 into the outer housing 74 of the lid 16, the insert 86 thus being assembled in a given orientation relative to the outer housing 74.
In addition, the insert 86 here forms two tabs 92 which project in the direction of the axis a16 of the cover 16 relative to the cylindrical portion 88 and which extend in the extension of the outer surface of the cylindrical portion 88. However, the insert 86, and in particular the cylindrical portion 88, forms a flange 91 at the base of the tab 92. The lugs 93 project from the flange 91 in the direction of the axis a16 of the cover.
The insert 86 receives a balance weight 94 near the base. The counter weight 94 enables a better distribution of the weight of the application and packaging device 10.
According to the example shown, the cover 16 further comprises a magnet 95. The magnet 95 is received, for example, between the two tabs 92 of the insert 86 in contact with the flange 35 of the insert 91. In the example shown, the magnet 95 also includes a recess that receives the lug 93 of the insert 86. This ensures the orientation of the magnet 95 relative to the insert 86 and thus relative to the cover 16. When the magnet 95 is a quadrupole magnet, it is thus ensured that the fixing of the cover 16 on the base 15 of the housing 12 can only be performed in a single orientation or several predefined orientations of the cover 16 about the axis a10 of the application and packaging device 10 with respect to the base 15 of the housing 12.
Finally, the cover 16 includes a sleeve 96. The sleeve 96 is here made of metal. The sleeve 96 includes a cylindrical portion 97 having a circular cross-section, a first annular portion 98 projecting radially outwardly relative to the cylindrical portion 97 at a first end of the cylindrical portion 97, and a second annular portion 99 projecting radially inwardly relative to the cylindrical portion 97 at a second end of the cylindrical portion 97. The first annular portion 98 defines, with the outer housing 74, the insert 86, and in particular the cylindrical portion 88 of the insert 86, and the cylindrical portion 97 of the sleeve 96, an enclosure for receiving the magnet 95.
The cosmetic application and packaging device 10 may be assembled as follows.
First, as shown in fig. 7, the refill 14 is inserted into the base 15 of the housing 12 until the protruding boss 60 of each of the gripping tabs 56 of the sleeve 46 of the housing 12 is received in the recess 72 of the bottom plate 64 of the refill 14. In other words, the refill 14 snaps into the sleeve 46 of the base 15 of the housing 12. In this way, a stable fixing of the refill 14 in the housing 12, in particular in the base 15 of the housing 12, is obtained, which fixing, however, can be easily detached while limiting the risk of damaging the housing 12, in particular the sleeve 46 of the base 15 of the housing 12. At the same time, the recess 70 engages with the engagement projection 40.
As seen in fig. 6, in particular, the snap-fit of the gripping tab 56 and the groove 72 is completed close to the end of the outer shell 18 opposite to the end of the replacement package 14 inserted into the seat 15 of the shell 15, for example at a distance from this end of the outer shell 18 of less than 50%, preferably less than 20%, even more preferably less than 10% of the height of the outer shell 18. Thus, any possible friction when the refill 14 is inserted into the housing 12 occurs only at the end of insertion of the refill 14.
Thus, the base 15 of the housing 12 may be closed by a cover 16 that is secured to the base 15 of the housing 12 by the cooperation of the magnets 42, 95. In this position, the portion of the refill 14 protruding from the base 15 of the housing 12 is received in the enclosure defined by the sleeve 96 in the cover 16. Of course, other means of securing the cover 16 to the base 15 of the housing 12 may be used by those skilled in the art. In particular, the cover 16 may be screwed or snapped onto the base 15 of the housing 12.
In addition, although the cover 16 is secured only to the base 15 of the housing 12 herein, the cover 16 may alternatively or additionally be secured to the refill 14. The cover 16 may be secured to the refill 14 by any means available to one skilled in the art.
Hereinafter, a second example of the cosmetic application and packaging device 100 will be described with reference to fig. 8 to 10.
According to this second example, the cosmetic application and packaging device 100 is more particularly suitable for packaging and applying a cosmetic product in liquid, paste or powder form by means of an applicator device, such as a cosmetic brush, brush or plastic applicator element, preferably flocked. Such cosmetics are, for example, lipsticks, nail varnishes, mascaras or foundations.
The application and packaging device 100 further includes a housing 12 and a refill 14 received in the housing 12. The housing 12 also comprises a base 15 and a cover 16, here in the form of a lid.
Here, the base 15 of the housing 12 comprises an outer housing 18 and a capsule 22 closing one end of the outer housing 18. Or the outer housing 18 and the capsule 22 are integral.
Here, the cover 16 basically includes a generally cylindrically shaped outer housing 74. According to the example shown, the outer housing 74 is closed at one end by a capsule 78. Alternatively, however, the outer housing 74 and the capsule 78 are integral.
Here, the refill 14 includes a reservoir 102 of cosmetic product. The reservoir 102 is here cylindrical, preferably with a circular cross section. The reservoir 102 here forms a collar 104 that receives a spin ring 106. Collar 104 presents threads on its radially outer surface.
As seen more particularly in fig. 9, the refill 14 here includes a metal sleeve 46 secured to a reservoir 102. For example, sleeve 46 is received in a recess 108 on a wall of reservoir 106. Here, the sleeve 46 is fixed near one longitudinal end of the reservoir 106, i.e. it is first introduced into the outer housing 18 during insertion of the refill 14 into the base 15 of the housing 12. Such an assembly appears particularly aesthetically pleasing, once assembled, the sleeve 46 is not visible or is only slightly visible in the application and packaging device 100. The sleeve 46 presents the same snap-fit projections 54 as the sleeve 46 described in relation to the first example of the application and packaging device 10. Here, the protruding projection 60 on the tab 56 of each snap projection 54 is received in a groove 72 formed on the radially inner surface of the outer shell 18 of the base 15 of the shell 12. Thus, the reservoir 102 of the refill 14 is secured to the base 15 of the housing 12 by snap-fit. According to a variant, not shown, the recess 72 may be formed on an insert fixed to the inside of the outer shell 18 of the base 15 of the shell 12.
In addition, according to the example shown, the refill 14 comprises a cosmetic applicator device 110 comprising an applicator element 112, a head 114 and a stem 116 connecting the applicator element 112 to the head 114. The applicator device 112 further comprises a sleeve 46 secured to the head 116, in particular in a recess 118, proximate one longitudinal end of the head 114. Here, the sleeve 46 is fixed near one longitudinal end of the head 114, i.e. it is first introduced into the outer housing 74 during insertion of the refill 14 into the cap 16. Such an assembly appears particularly aesthetically pleasing, once assembled, the sleeve 46 is not visible or is only slightly visible in the application and packaging device 100. The sleeve 46 presents the same snap-fit projections 54 as the sleeve 46 described in relation to the first example of the application and packaging device 10. Here, the protruding projection 60 on the tab 54 of each snap projection 54 is received in a groove 72 formed on the radially inner surface of the outer housing 74 of the cover 16. Thus, the applicator device 110 of the refill 14 is secured to the cap 16 of the housing 12 by snap-fitting. According to a variant not shown, the recess 72 may be formed on an insert fixed to the inside of the outer casing 74.
Further, it should be noted herein that the head 114 presents internal threads to enable the cap 16 to be secured to the reservoir 106 of the refill 14 received in the base 15 of the housing 12. Specifically, according to the example shown, the cover 16 is thus fixed on a head 114 which is itself screwed on the reservoir 106 of the refill 14, the reservoir 106 being fixed to the base 15 of the housing 12. Or the internal threads may be present on inserts secured inside the outer housing 74 of the cap 16 or on the outer housing 74 of the cap 16. According to a further alternative, the cover 16, in particular the outer housing 74 or the head 114 of the applicator device 110, is fixed to the base 15 of the housing 12.
Preferably, the head 114 of the applicator device 110 has a blocking function, as it is adapted to close or block the reservoir 102, in particular when the cap 16 is fixed to the reservoir 106 of the refill 14. The stem 116 allows the applicator element 112 to be inserted into the reservoir 102 when the cap 16 is secured to the reservoir 102. Thus, in this closed position of the application and packaging device 100, the rod 116 traverses the spin ring 106 secured in the collar 104 of the reservoir 102. With the applicator element 112 removed outside the reservoir 102, the stem 116 and then the applicator element 112 traverse the spin ring 106, which enables any possibly excess cosmetic on the applicator element 112 to be removed. The cap 16 then acts as a gripping means enabling the cosmetic product to be applied precisely by use of the applicator element 112.
Also in this second example, the snap-fit projections 54 are capable of firmly securing the reservoir 102 and the head 114, respectively, of the refill 14 to the housing 12, particularly at the base 15 of the housing 12 and the cover 16. However, disassembly of these fasteners is still easy when needed to enable the replacement garment 14 to be removed from the housing 12.
In the example of fig. 8, the snap-fit protrusion 54 is formed by the sleeve 46 contained in the refill 14. Alternatively, however, the sleeve 46 may be contained within the housing 12, particularly within the base 15 and/or the cover 16 of the housing 12.
The invention is not limited to the examples just described, but instead may have many variations available to those skilled in the art.
Thus, in each of the illustrated examples, the tab 56 of the snap-fit protrusion 54 may be on the housing 12 and may mate with the recess 72 on the refill 14. Alternatively, however, the tab 56 of the snap-fit protrusion 54 is on the refill 14 and mates with a recess 72 formed on the housing 12.
Further, instead of grooves 72, other snap-fit projections may be used by those skilled in the art that are adapted to cooperate with tabs 56 and protruding projections 60 to form a snap-fit. Specifically, a ridge, one or more lugs or beads in the form of, for example, hooks, may be cited.
Moreover, in the example described, the snap projections 54 are each time formed by a sleeve 46 applied in the housing 12 or in the refill 14. Alternatively, however, the snap-fit projections 54 may be formed directly from the housing base or outer housing 18, 74 of the cover 16, particularly when the outer housing 18, 74 is metal.
Furthermore, the application and packaging device may comprise another application device than the one already described. In particular, the application and packaging device may comprise a device for dispensing the cosmetic product, such as a pipette or a pump.
