Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a makeup case or analogous, comprising a body housing a reserve of product, a cover and a sealing member comprising a deformable lip extending around the reserve of product when the housing is closed, the cover or the body of the casing pressing on said sealing member when the housing is closed.
  • the invention aims to propose a new makeup case, which is characterized by the fact that the sealing member is secured to a support piece, attached to the body of the housing or to the cover and extending at least partially under the sealing lip.
  • this support piece is part of a cup housing the product reserve.
  • the sealing member can be made in one piece with the cup, which simplifies the manufacture of the case since the number of separate parts to be assembled is reduced.
  • said piece of support is in the form of an annular rim.
  • the sealing member is molded onto said support piece or made by bi-injection with it.
  • said support piece has openings and the sealing member comprises an upper part and a lower part which are connected through said openings, said lower part extending under said support piece and coming in support on the body of the case.
  • This lower part presents advantageously an annular shape and applies tightly to the body of the case.
  • the organ sealing has two annular sealing lips concentric, suitable for sealingly applied to the cover when the case is closed.
  • said sealing lips each have a generally semicircular shape in section, the concavity is turned towards said support piece.
  • the support part consists of a cover, possibly removable, attached to the body of the housing.
  • This cover can be used for example to retain in the body of the housing a cup containing the reserve of product.
  • the sealing member fixed to the cover, interposes in a sealed manner not only between the cover and the cover when the case is closed but also between the cover and the body of the case, to prevent the evaporation of the solvents contained in the product by the clearance that exists between the cover and the body of the housing.
  • one of the cover or body has at least one kidney-shaped lumen and the other of the cover or of the body has a hinge pin engaged in said light, the arrangement of said light and said axis of articulation being such that when the cover is closed, the axis of articulation can move in said light so that that the cover comes to press on the sealing member of a substantially uniformly.
  • This housing 1 comprises a body 2 and a cover 3 hinged on this body 2 by means of a hinge 5 which is visible only on the figure 2.
  • a clasp 4 is provided opposite this hinge 5 for keep the cover 3 in the closed position.
  • the body 2 has a central cavity 6 housing a cup 7 containing a reserve of product P, for example a product of makeup such as a foundation or a care product.
  • a reserve of product P for example a product of makeup such as a foundation or a care product.
  • the cup 7 is closed at its lower part by a wall flexible bottom 8, allowing the user to push up a piston 9 for distributing the product P through a sieve 10 secured to the upper part of the cup 7.
  • a foam pad 14 is provided in the piston 9 for homogenize the distribution of product P.
  • the latter can be powdery or pasty for example.
  • the cup 7 has a cylindrical wall made of relatively rigid plastic material, for example polypropylene or polyethylene which guides the sliding of the piston 9 and which extends at its upper end and radially outwards by an annular flange 11 a , which is provided at its periphery with a return 12 directed downwards.
  • relatively rigid plastic material for example polypropylene or polyethylene which guides the sliding of the piston 9 and which extends at its upper end and radially outwards by an annular flange 11 a , which is provided at its periphery with a return 12 directed downwards.
  • the flange 11a is a support part for the purposes of the invention and it is crossed by holes 13 angularly distributed around the axis of the cup 7, these holes serving to anchor a sealing member 15 made of elastomeric material which will now be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • the sealing member 15 comprises a base 20 which covers a large part of the upper face of the annular flange 11a, is extended downwards by 16 bridges of material passing through the bores 13, and forms two annular lips 17, 18 sealing which come to bear in a slight annular recess 19 on the upper face of the body 2 of the housing.
  • annular lips 21, 22 are shaped to come to the contact of an annular boss 24 of the cover 3 when the latter is in the closed position, as shown in Figure 4.
  • This boss 24 is such that the lips 21 and 22 deviate slightly on contact.
  • the sealing member 15 makes it possible to obtain a double seal through the contact of each of the lips 21, 22 on the cover, which makes it very difficult for the solvents contained in the product P.
  • the flange 11 a can bend slightly when the housing is closed.
  • the deformation of the rim 11 a prevents, if necessary, that the lips 21 and 22 are subjected to too great a compressive force when the cover 3 is closed.
  • the shape of the sealing member is not limited to the embodiment which has just been described.
  • FIG. 5 shows a first alternative embodiment of the sealing member, which leads to presents reference 30.
  • the sealing member 30 shown in FIG. 5 comprises an upper part 31 which partially covers the upper face of the rim of the cup 7, which is here referenced 11b , and a lower part 32 which extends under the rim 11 b and is supported by two annular lips 33 and 34 on the body 2.
  • the upper part 31 has two annular lips 35, 36 directed upwards, delimiting between them a fairly wide groove 37.
  • the upper 31 and lower 32 parts are connected by a plurality of material bridges 41, 42 and 43, which pass through holes 38, 39 and 40 produced in the flange 11 b at different radii and angularly distributed around the axis of the cup 7.
  • the material bridges 42 are connected to the upper part 31 in the bottom of the groove 37.
  • the material bridges 41 and 43 are located on either side of this gorge 37.
  • the sealing member 30 is molded onto the annular rim 11b .
  • the lip 33 is interposed in a sealed manner between the flange 11 b and the body 2 of the housing and in particular makes it possible to prevent dirt from accumulating under the flange 11 b .
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 show a second variant of realization of the sealing member, which is here referenced 50.
  • the rim of the cup 7 bears the reference 11 c and differs from the rims 11 a and 11 b previously described by the fact that it is less wide.
  • the sealing member 50 comprises an annular lip 51 which extends radially outwards and upwards, cantilevered with respect to the flange 11 c .
  • This annular lip 51 is extended downwards by material points 52 which pass through holes 53 of the edge llc and which are connected to an annular bead 54 coming to bear tightly on the body 2 of the housing.
  • the contact between the lip 51 and the cover takes place according to a very narrow annular band, which allows to obtain a pressure high contact, favorable to a good seal.
  • FIG. 8 and 9 a sealing member 60 which differs from the sealing member 15, previously described with reference to Figures 2 to 4, by the shape of the upper part which partially covers the edge of the cup 7, referenced here 11 d , and substantially identical to the edges 11 a and 11 b previously described.
  • the sealing member 60 is fixed to the flange 11 d in substantially the same way as the sealing member 15 previously described.
  • the upper part of the sealing member 60 has two annular lips or beads 62 and 63 forming a groove therebetween 64 quite narrow.
  • the upper part of the sealing member is further connected, by bridges of material 61, to a lower part consisting of concentric 65,66 lips resting on the body 2 of the housing.
  • the cover 3 has two concentric annular ribs 68, 69 projecting under its inner face and arranged so to be applied to the top of the beads 62 and 63 when the housing is closed, as shown in figure 9.
  • the beads 68 and 69 flatten slightly in contact with the ribs 68 and 69, their deformation being facilitated by the presence of throat 64.
  • the sealing member 70 shown in FIG. 10, comprises studs 71 which are housed in holes 72 of the rim 11. These studs 71 are extended upwards by a flexible lip 73 which thins and is directed radially outwards.
  • the sealing member 70 does not extend under the rim of the cup 7, here referenced 11 e .
  • annular rib 75 has been produced on the body 2 of the housing and at the periphery of the rim 11 e a return 76 downwards, intended to come into contact with the radially outermost face of the rib 75.
  • FIG. 11 shows a sealing member 80 according to another embodiment of the invention.
  • the rim of the cup, referenced 11 f is entirely flat.
  • the cup 7, with a flexible bottom, described with reference to the figure 2, has been replaced in this example, by a cup with a rigid bottom.
  • the sealing member 80 comprises an upper part 81 which comprises two lips 82 and 83 bearing on the flange 11 f and each having in section a semi-circular shape whose concavity is turned towards the flange 11 f .
  • the lips 82 and 83 are connected to a central part 84 flat.
  • This central part 84 is extended downwards by a few bridges of material 86 crossing holes in the rim 11 f .
  • a shoulder 89 can also be formed at the base of the lips 87, 88, as shown, to bear on the underside of the flange 11 f and improve the anchoring of the seal thereon.
  • the cover 3 has two annular ribs 90, 91 intended to come to press on the top of the lips 82, 83 when the case is closed.
  • the cup containing the product reserve is advantageously filled separately and then mounted on the body of the case.
  • sealing member is subject to the cup housing the product reserve, we do not go out of the scope of the invention by making the sealing member integral any other support piece attached to the cover or on the body of the case.
  • FIG. 12 shows a mode of embodiment in which the sealing member is subject to a cover 95 in rigid plastic which is attached to the body of the housing.
  • this cover 95 is used in the example described at maintain a sieve 99 in place above the product P.
  • the cover 95 has at its periphery a rim 96 shaped to snap into a groove 97 of the housing body.
  • the cover 95 is further curved at its edge radially inside to bear against the sieve 99.
