Description

La présente invention concerne un réceptacle pour produits cosmétiques ou autres, du type comprenant une coque formant embase, une coque formant couvercle, et des moyens de liaison pour relier ensemble les deux coques comme décrit, par exemple, dans le document FR-A-1 320 208.The present invention relates to a receptacle for cosmetic or other products, of the type comprising a shell forming a base, a shell forming a cover, and connecting means for connecting the two shells together as described, for example, in document FR-A-1 320 208.

Généralement, les moyens de liaison sont constitués par une charnière qui fait saillie à l'extérieur et reste donc apparente, ou bien par une charnière disposée à l'intérieur, mais qui nécessite alors un évidement de l'une des coques au niveau du plan de jointure pour le dégagement nécessaire à la rotation du couvercle.Generally, the connecting means are constituted by a hinge which makes protrudes outside and therefore remains visible, or else by a hinge arranged at the interior, but which then requires a recess of one of the shells at the level of the plane of joint for the clearance necessary for the rotation of the cover.

La présente invention a pour but principal de remédier à ces inconvénients, grâce à des moyens de liaison parfaitement invisibles de l'extérieur.The main object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks, thanks to to means of connection that are perfectly invisible from the outside.

A cet effet, les moyens de liaison conformes à l'invention sont essentiellement constitués par au moins une lame élastique dont une extrémité est rendue solidaire de l'une des coques et dont l'autre extrémité est fixée de manière articulée sur l'intérieur de l'autre coque au voisinage du plan de jointure des deux coques.To this end, the connecting means according to the invention are essentially consisting of at least one elastic blade, one end of which is made integral with one of the hulls and the other end of which is hingedly attached to the inside of the other shell in the vicinity of the joining plane of the two shells.

Avec une telle disposition, et ainsi qu'on le verra plus clairement par la suite, il est possible de réaliser une liaison invisible et parfaitement jointive des deux coques, sans jeu apparent, ni évidement.With such a provision, and as will be seen more clearly later, it it is possible to make an invisible and perfectly contiguous connection of the two shells, without apparent play, nor recess.

Dans une forme de réalisation particulière de l'invention, l'articulation de la lame élastique est prévue sur la coque formant couvercle.In a particular embodiment of the invention, the articulation of the blade elastic is provided on the shell forming a cover.

De préférence, la lame élastique est disposée sensiblement parallèlement au plan de jointure des deux coques.Preferably, the elastic blade is arranged substantially parallel to the plane of joining of the two shells.

Dans une application particulière de l'invention à un réceptacle pour flacon de parfum, la coque formant embase comporte une frette intérieure sur laquelle est fixée l'extrémité de la lame élastique qui n'est pas articulée sur la coque formant couvercle.In a particular application of the invention to a receptacle for a vial of fragrance, the base shell has an inner band on which is fixed the end of the elastic blade which is not articulated on the shell forming a cover.

Une forme d'exécution de l'invention est décrite ci-après à titre d'exemple, en référence au dessin annexé dans lequel :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en coupe verticale d'un réceptacle conforme à l'invention destiné à recevoir un flacon de parfum ; et
  • la figure 2 est une vue en coupe horizontale suivant la ligne II-II de la figure 1.
An embodiment of the invention is described below by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawing in which:
  • Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of a receptacle according to the invention for receiving a perfume bottle; and
  • FIG. 2 is a view in horizontal section on line II-II of FIG. 1.

Le réceptacle représenté sur les figures 1 et 2 est de forme générale cylindrique et se compose essentiellement d'une coque inférieure 1 formant embase et d'une coque supérieure 2 formant couvercle, avec un plan de jointure 3 entre les deux. The receptacle shown in Figures 1 and 2 is generally cylindrical in shape and essentially consists of a lower shell 1 forming a base and a shell upper 2 forming a cover, with a joint plane 3 between the two.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation particulier décrit ici, il s'agit d'un réceptacle servant d'habillage à un flacon de parfum. A cet effet, la coque inférieure 1 est pourvue d'une frette intérieure amovible 4, munie d'un évidement central 5 pour le passage du col du flacon de parfum et qui maintient ainsi ledit flacon en place dans l'embase.In the particular embodiment described here, it is a receptacle serving of dressing to a bottle of perfume. For this purpose, the lower shell 1 is provided with a removable inner hoop 4, provided with a central recess 5 for the passage of the neck of the perfume bottle and which thus holds said bottle in place in the base.

Conformément à l'invention, le couvercle 2 est relié à l'embase 1 par l'intermédiaire d'une lame élastique 6, disposée parallèlement au plan de jointure 3 de l'embase avec le couvercle, dont une extrémité est fixée rigidement à la frette 4 par un rivet 7 et dont l'autre extrémité est fixée de manière articulée sur la paroi intérieure du couvercle 2 au moyen d'un axe 8 situé au voisinage du plan de jointure 3.According to the invention, the cover 2 is connected to the base 1 by through an elastic blade 6, arranged parallel to the joining plane 3 of the base with the cover, one end of which is rigidly fixed to the hoop 4 by a rivet 7 and the other end of which is hingedly attached to the inner wall of the cover 2 by means of an axis 8 located in the vicinity of the joint plane 3.

Pour ouvrir le réceptacle, il suffit d'exercer sur le couvercle 2 une légère traction vers le haut, à l'opposé de l'axe d'articulation 8. Ce faisant, l'élasticité de la lame 6 est sollicitée et ramène en même temps l'axe 8 vers l'intérieur, ce qui permet la rotation normale du couvercle 2. On notera en outre que la mise sous tension de la lame élastique 6 provoque un effet de claquage lors de la fermeture du couvercle et fait obstacle à son ouverture naturelle si l'on retourne l'ensemble.To open the receptacle, it is enough to exert a slight pull on the cover 2 upwards, opposite the hinge axis 8. In doing so, the elasticity of the blade 6 is stressed and brings axis 8 inward at the same time, allowing rotation cover 2 normal. It should also be noted that the tensioning of the blade elastic 6 causes a snapping effect when the lid is closed and makes obstacle to its natural opening if the whole is turned over.

La lame élastique 6 sera avantageusement réalisée en une matière plastique moulée permettant un certain nombre de déformations sans perdre ses qualités mécaniques, ni subir un étirement préjudiciable au bon fonctionnement dans le temps. Quant aux autres parties du réceptacle, c'est-à-dire essentiellement les coques et la frette, elle pourront également être réalisées en matière plastique, mais aussi en métal ou en un autre matériau approprié.The elastic blade 6 will advantageously be made of a molded plastic material allowing a certain number of deformations without losing its mechanical qualities, nor undergo a stretching detrimental to the proper functioning over time. As for the others parts of the receptacle, i.e. essentially the shells and the hoop, they may also be made of plastic, but also of metal or another suitable material.

La présente invention permet donc en définitive de réaliser de façon très simple et peu coûteuse une liaison entre une embase et son couvercle qui soit parfaitement invisible de l'extérieur et sans aucun jeu apparent au niveau du plan de jointure 3. Elle s'applique de manière particulièrement avantageuse aux habillages de produits cosmétiques ou de parfumerie, y compris les boítiers pour le fard, mais il va de soi qu'elle peut également être utilisée avec profit chaque fois que l'on souhaite rendre solidaires une embase et son couvercle sans charnière apparente.The present invention therefore ultimately makes it possible to carry out very simply and inexpensive a connection between a base and its cover which is perfectly invisible from the outside and without any apparent play at the level of the joint plane 3. It is particularly advantageous for product skins cosmetics or perfumery, including boxes for the eyeshadow, but it goes without saying that it can also be used with profit whenever we wish to return integral with a base and its cover without visible hinge.
