Definitions
- the invention generally relates to containers comprising a base surmounted by a lid and adapted to contain products, especially cosmetic products such as creams, powders, etc. and their sealing systems.
- the pots for conventional cosmetic products generally have threaded closure systems, making it possible to close the pot by screwing a lid on the base thereof.
- the threading ensures a homogeneous pressure of the cover on the base, thus guaranteeing its maintenance and its sealing.
- pots In the field of cosmetic products, pots must indeed be able to guarantee a minimum seal despite pressure differences of the order of several hundred millibars, to avoid any risk of opening or leakage of product in all circumstances, such as in the bathroom of the user, during transport in the hold of a plane in flight, etc.
- a regular test performed to determine the tightness of a pot of cosmetic product is for example to fill the pot with a liquid (water or glycerin, usually colored) and to place it upside down (ie say cover down and base up) or lying down (on the side) on absorbent white paper in a vacuum bell. The pressure is then lowered in steps of 0.1 bar, ie 75 mmHg, every minute until a pressure of the order of 200 to 250 mbar. The objective is to verify that at such a pressure, no liquid leaks for at least ten seconds.
- the document US 2010/0096411 has for example proposed to add an annular seal between the lid and the pot, so as to increase the seal between the base and the lid.
- the dimensions and materials constituting the seal and the closure system are chosen so as to strongly compress the seal in the closed position, which increases the efforts required for the opening and / or closure of the pot by a user.
- An object of the invention is therefore to provide a container, in particular a cream jar or a compact, provided with a lid, and whose closure system is sealed in different circumstances, in particular in accordance with leak tests carried out under a bell empty, without being more difficult to open and close by a user.

- the base comprises a mouth having an internal wall
- the seal is placed at the periphery of the envelope and applies the stress on the internal face of the mouthpiece
- the inner wall of the mouthpiece has the shape of a shoulder
- the base comprises a mouthpiece having an upper rim, and the seal is disposed on a lower face of the envelope and applies the stress on the upper rim of the mouthpiece;
- the cushion comprises a lower part formed of a plate and a sidewalk extending along the periphery of the plate, and separated therefrom by a through passage intended to house the seal,
- the gasket is in the form of an Omega channel, the arms of which are fixed to the sidewalk and to the plate respectively, while the base extends in the direction of the upper edge of the mouthpiece forming a shoulder,
- the seal further comprises a resilient lip extending radially outwardly from the seal, adapted to come into lateral contact with the upper rim so as to ensure a diametral seal with the pot,
- the base comprises a mouthpiece
- the lid is hinged to the base by being movable between an open position in which the lid is pivotable relative to the base and a closed position in which the lid is folded over the mouth of the base

- Figure 9 shows a sectional view of a housing for an applicator adapted to be implemented in a container according to the invention.
- the container 1 will be a cosmetic product jar 5 of the cream jar type. This is not, however, limiting.
- a pot 1 comprises a base 10, and a lid 20 adapted to close a mouth 12 of the base 10.
- the lid 20 can be hinged to the base 10 by means of a hinge 22. In order to keep the lid 20 folded on the base 10
- a closure system 24 such as a push button or a latch.
- the cover 20 can be screwed onto the base 10, and then comprises threads on an inner face adapted to cooperate with complementary threads of an outer face of the mouth 12 of the base .
- the pot 1 further comprises a cushion 30, disposed between the cover 20 and the base 10.
- the cushion 30 is secured to the cover 20, so that when a user opens the pot 1 by separating the lid 20 of the base 10, the cushion 30 releases the mouth 12 and allows free access to its contents 5.
- This embodiment has the advantage of ensuring the correct positioning of the cushion 30 with respect to the mouth 12 of the base 10 and the cover 20.
- the cushion 30 serves to seal the pot 1 when it is closed, that is to say when the lid 20 is closed on the base 10 (by screwing or by folding), that the one is under normal conditions of use (at atmospheric pressure (of the order of 101 325 Pa, that is to say about 1 bar), as in a bathroom) or "extremes" (during the tests sealing under vacuum bell, or in the luggage hold of an aircraft in flight).
- the envelope 33 formed of an upper part 32, adjacent to the lid, a lower part 34, adjacent to the base and assembled with a seal 40 on the upper part 32 so as to form a closed enclosure Sealing 35 containing a fluid 36.
- the fluid 36 is ambient air, but can be replaced by other
- fluids such as water, a gel, silicone, or a combination thereof, etc.
- the seal 40 is further adapted to provide a seal between the outside of the pot 1 and its contents 5 when the pot 1 is closed.
- the constituent materials, the dimensions and the shape of the envelope 33 and the seal 40 as well as the fluid 36 are chosen so as to obtain a deformable cushion 40.
- the lid 20 and the base 10 come closer and exert a force on the fluid 36 by deformation of the sealed enclosure 35, the fluid then exerting itself a force on the seal of sealing 40 and compresses against the mouth 12 of the base 10.
- the fluid 36 within the chamber 35 is at atmospheric pressure.
- the pressure difference between the fluid in the chamber 35 and the surrounding medium reinforces the sealing performed by the cushion 30.
- the pressure differential relaxes the fluid which increases the internal volume of the chamber 35 which therefore applies an additional stress on the base 10 through the seal 40, the pot 1 being kept closed by the closure means (thread or hinge and push button) of the cover 20 on the base 10.
- the implementation of the fluid 36 in the chamber 35 in combination with the seal 40 thus makes it possible to significantly increase the tightness of the pot 1 under extreme conditions of use, that is to say at low temperatures. pressures (as in the baggage hold of airplanes in flight or during tests under vacuum bell), without increasing the difficulty of handling the pot under normal conditions of use at atmospheric pressure (in the bathroom, etc.). ). In this way, the manipulation (opening / closing) of the pot 1 by a user is not changed; in particular, it is not made more difficult by increasing the efforts of
- the base 10 may especially comprise the following elements: a lower casing 14, adjacent to the bottom of the base 10 and having mainly an aesthetic role, in which is disposed a lining 16 adapted to house a bucket 18.
- the lower casing 14 is of square polygonal section. This is however not limiting, insofar as the lower case 14 has an overall aesthetic and container role for the other elements of the base 10.
- the lining 16 comprises a housing 16a arranged to receive the bucket 18, having at its mouth a platform 16b of general shape complementary to the mouth of the lower housing 14 so as to be inserted and held in position in force, by clipping and / or by adhesion in the lower housing 14.
- the bucket 18 and the housing 16a are cylindrical, so that there is a space 50 between the outer cylindrical wall of the housing 16a and the inner polygonal wall In one embodiment, this space 50 may in particular be used to house an applicator 55.
- the cup 18 is intended to receive the cosmetic product 5, for example cream or a powder. It can also be covered with a lid 19 which can have an aesthetic function and / or play a role of opening witness.
- the mouth 12 of the base 10 on which the seal 40 applies a constraint when closing the pot 1 corresponds in fact to the mouth of the bucket 18.
- This mouth 12 comprises in particular an inner wall 12a.
- the cover 20 in turn comprises an upper portion 26, typically of similar section to that of the lower housing 14, and a lower portion 28 adapted to receive the cushion 30.
- the upper portion 26 of the cover 20 is here at a distance and the further away from the base 10 while the lower portion 28 is adjacent to the cushion 30, on the side of the base 10.
- the lower part 28 of the cover 20 may for example be a plate inserted in force, by clipping or adhesion in the upper part 26 of the cover 20, and comprises means 28a for securing with the cushion 30.
- the cushion 30 is here made in two parts 32, 34 sealingly assembled with the seal 40.
- the upper portion 32 of the cushion 30 is formed of a rim 32b connected to a central hub 32c via spokes 32d, typically six spokes 32d.
- the rim 32b, the hub 32c and the spokes 32d are furthermore fixed on a lower surface of a plate 32a, whose shape corresponds preferably to those of the internal wall 12a of the mouth 12 of the base 10, here of the mouth of the bucket 18, to improve the sealing of the pot 1.
- the plate 32a further comprises an upper surface having means for securing with the lower part 28 of the lid 20.
- the cushion 30 is therefore generally circular in shape, but could also be polygonal or arbitrary depending on the shape of the cup 8.
- the lower part 34 of the cushion 30 in turn comprises a plate 34a of shape and dimensions similar to those of the upper plate 32, on a surface of which extends a
- rim 34b connected to a central shaft 34c complementary to the hub 32c of the upper part by means of spokes 34d, typically four spokes 34d.
- spokes 34d typically four spokes 34d.
- the rim 34b is disposed away from the rim of the plate 34a so as to leave a sidewalk 34e extending over the entire periphery of the plate 34a.
- the sidewalk 34e is intended to receive the seal 40.
- the seal 40 is overmolded directly over all or part of the width of the sidewalk 34e.
- it has a general shape in L, the base of the L being overmolded on the sidewalk 34e while the body of the L extends substantially perpendicularly to the sidewalk 34e, adjacent to its rim.
- the lower portion 34 may then further comprise a rib 34f extending continuously or discontinuously along the sidewalk 34e, on which is molded the base L of the seal 40, to improve its retention on the part lower 34 of the cushion 30.
- the seal is attached to the lower portion 34 by gluing. It can also be injected or extruded and then assembled directly on an upper part (by laser welding, ultrasound or heating mirror), or alternatively bi-injected with the upper part 32.
- the cushion 30 is then assembled, by interlocking the hub 32c with the shaft 34c, so that the plate 32a of the upper part 32 is in contact with the seal 40.
- the plate 32a is in fact in contact with the free part of the L-shaped body of the seal 40.
- the upper 32 and lower 34 and the seal 40 are sealed together, for example by laser welding, ultrasound or mirror, so as to form the sealed enclosure 35.
- the sealed enclosure 35 has the shape of an annular air chamber, which extends between the rim 32b and the seal 40.
- the cushion 30 When the fluid 36 is ambient air, it is simply trapped between the two parts 32 and 34 of the cushion 30 during assembly, and is therefore at atmospheric pressure. It is of course possible to insert a fluid 36 under pressure between the two plates 32 and 34, be it a gas, a liquid, a gel or a combination thereof . Furthermore, the cushion 30 is placed against the lower part 28 of the cover 20 so that the seal 40, which extends at the periphery of the casing 33, is arranged to exert a radial stress (that is, that is, from the inside of the pot to the outside thereof) on the inner wall 12a of the mouth 12 of the bucket 18. In the example illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, the cushion 30 thus protrudes by However, when the lid 20 is sufficiently deep relative to the mouth 12 to cover the outer walls of the mouth 12 and the base 10 when the pot 1 is closed, the cushion 30 can be disposed within the cover 20 and not exceed.
- the embodiment which has just been described is not limiting, and that the invention also covers the cushions 30 whose hub extends from the plate of the lower part 34 and the shaft is located in the center of the rim of the upper part 32, and / or the seal 40 is fixed on the upper part 32 of the cushion 30 (and not on the lower part 34), and / or the seal 40 is fixed on the cushion 30 after assembly of the upper 32 and lower 34, etc., these embodiments being perfectly equivalent.
- the sealing of the opening and closing of the pot 1 is further improved by the presence of air inside the pot 1, especially after first opening by a user.
- the air contained in the pot 1 (between the cosmetic product 5 and the cushion 30), which is at atmospheric pressure, expands and consequently exerts a pressure on the lower part 34 of the cushion 30. This pressure on the lower portion 34 of the cushion 30 thus tends to reinforce the force applied by the fluid 36 inside.
- the sealed enclosure 35 on the seal 40 and further improve the contact between the seal 40 and the inner wall 12a of the mouth 12.
- the inner wall 12a of the mouth 12 of the bucket 18 may further have the shape of a shoulder 12c.
- the seal 40 is crushed against the inner wall 12a of the shoulder 12c. It then deforms rounded at the contact with the shoulder 12c, so that a first portion of the seal 40 bears against the horizontal base 12c 'of the shoulder 12c, making a first sealing, while a second portion of the seal 40 abuts against the vertical portion 12c "of the shoulder 12c, performing a second sealing.
- This embodiment also makes it possible to reduce the dimensional requirements of the seal 40. Indeed, the sealing is guaranteed by the radial and normal forces applied to the seal 40 during its deformation against the shoulder 12c of the inner wall 12a, which cause the seal 40 is crushed over its entire periphery against the vertical portion of the shoulder 12c. The dimensional accuracy required is therefore less while guaranteeing contact all around the periphery of the seal 40.
- the seal 40 extends from the underside of the lower portion 34 of the casing 33.
- the base 10 of the pot 1 comprises a lower casing 14, a lining 16 and a bucket 18, substantially identical to those of the first embodiment.
- the mouth 12 of the base 10 on which the seal 40 also applies a constraint when closing the pot 1 corresponds to the mouth of the bucket 18, which comprises in particular an upper flange 12b.
- the cover 20 also includes an upper portion 26 similar to that of the lower housing 14, and a lower portion 28 adapted to receive the cushion 30.
- the cushion 30 is made in two parts assembled sealingly with the seal.
- the shape and dimensions of the cushion 30 substantially correspond to those of the mouth 12 of the base 10, and more particularly of the upper rim 12b of the mouth 12 of the bucket 18.
- the cushion 30 is thus again of general shape circular, but could also be polygonal or whatever depending on the shape of the bucket 8.
- the upper part 32 of the cushion 30 is formed of a plate 32a whose upper surface comprises fastening means 28a with the lower part 28 of the cover 20, for example of the clipping type.
- the plate 32a may further comprise a plurality of radii 32d extending radially from the securing means 28a, and playing a role of stiffening.
- the lower portion 34 of the cushion 30 in turn comprises a plate 34a of shape and dimensions similar to those of the upper plate 32a.
- the lower portion 34 further comprises a curb 34e extending along the periphery of the plate 34a, and separated therefrom by a through passage 34f for housing the seal 40.
- the seal 40 may for example be overmolded in the passage 34f of the lower plate 34a, and extend perpendicularly to its lower surface. Alternatively, the seal may also be bi-injected with the lower part 34.
- the seal 40 has the shape of an Omega channel 40a, comprising a base 40a. ", which can be rounded overall as illustrated in Figures 7 to 8 and 10 to 11, and arms 40a ', which extend from the base 40a" and terminate at their free end by two tabs.
- the base 40a has the shape of a half-circle at rest (that is to say when the lid 20 is not closed on the pot 1. This is however not limiting.
- the flap of the channel is configured to be attached to the sidewalk 34e or to the plate respectively, while its base 40a "extends towards the base of the pot 10.
- the omega channel-shaped seal 40a may further comprise an elastic lip 40b extending radially outwardly of the pot 1 from a radial end of the seal 40.
- the lip 40b is made so as to come into lateral contact with the pot to ensure a diametral seal of the pot (see Figures 10 and 11).
- the lip 40b may for example have an annular shape and extend over all or part of the circumference of the channel 40a from the leg of the outer arm 40a 'of the channel 40a Omega, or a zone in the vicinity of that in the direction of the bucket 18, and can be made in one piece with the channel 40, or reported thereon.
- the lip 40b may furthermore have a point of inflection, as can be seen for example in FIG. 11, so as to
- SHEET OF REM PLACEM ENT (REG 26) accentuate the force applied against the pot 1, and therefore improve the seal with it.
- the inner wall 12a of the mouth 12 of the bucket 18 can then have the shape of a shoulder 12c to further improve the sealing of the pot 1.
- the seal 34 e which are adjacent to the seal 40, may then each comprise a shoulder 34g, extending continuously or discontinuously, on which is molded the seal 40, to improve its maintenance on the part bottom 34 of the cushion 30.
- the shoulder 34g may include grooves 34f adapted to further improve the strength of the seal 40 on the lower portion 34.
- the seal 40 may be glued to the lower portion 34, or laser welded or ultrasonically bonded.
- the lower part 34, the sidewalk 34e and the seal 40 are monobloc and made in one piece, for example by injection molding.
- SEBS Styrene-Ethylene-Butadiene-Styrene
- the seal 40 is directly overmolded on the upper part 32 or bi-injected with it by trapping the fluid.
- the cushion 30 does not then comprise a lower part.
- the cushion 30 is then assembled by fixing the plates 32a and 32b together in a sealed manner, for example by laser welding, ultrasound or heating mirror, so as to form the sealed enclosure 35 with the seal 40.
- the sealed enclosure 35 has an annular shape whose walls correspond to the seal 40 and the portion of the upper wall 32a adjacent to the seal 40.
- the cushion 30 is preferably arranged against the lower plate 28 of the cover 20 so that the seal 40 exerts a stress on the upper rim 12b of the mouth 12 of the bucket 18.
- the cushion 30 can therefore be disposed within the cover 20 without projecting therefrom.
- the lower portion 28 of the cover 20 may for example comprise a housing 29 adapted to receive the cushion 30.
- the implementation of a cushion 30 according to the invention does not increase the space requirement. inside the pot 1. The volume of cosmetic product that can be contained in the pot 1 is therefore greater.
- the upper flange may be flat and extend substantially parallel to the lower portion 34 when the pot 1 is closed.
- the dimensional accuracy of the seal 40 must be greater than in the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3, since the contact between the seal 40 and the mouthpiece 12 is simple (only a normal force being exerted on the seal 40 by the upper edge 12b of
- the seal 40 must therefore have a regularity of shape and size sufficient to ensure a substantially uniform support over the entire periphery of the upper flange 12b.
- the upper 32 and lower 34 parts of the cushion 30 may be made of rigid plastic polypropylene type, while the seal 40 is made of a deformable elastic material, such as TPV vulcanized thermoplastic elastomer, thermoplastic TPU urethane of hardness less than 85 Shore A, SEBS, silicone, etc.
- the pressure applied by the seal 40 on the mouth 12 - whether the inner wall 12a (case of the first embodiment with reference to Figures 1 to 4) or the upper edge 12b (Case of the second embodiment, with reference to Figures 5 to 8) - may be homogenized by the implementation of a ball joint R between the lower portion 28 of the cover 20 and the cushion 30 and / or between the upper part 32 and the lower portion 34 of the cushion 30.
- This ball joint R indeed makes it possible to compensate for dimensional or manufacturing shifts.
- the central hub 32c and the central shaft 34c may have an axial play (in a direction parallel to the axis of the hub 32c and the shaft 34c) and radial (transversely to the axis of the hub 32 and the shaft 34c) acting as a ball joint and allowing the lower portion 34 to translate and pivot around the central hub 32c relative to the upper part.
- connection between the upper part 32 of the cushion 30 and the securing means 28a may be a ball joint, allowing pivoting of the upper part 32 with respect to the lower part. 28 of the cover 20.
- the plates 32a and 32b may, for example, then have a diameter of
- the pot 1 may further comprise a housing 60 arranged to receive a product applicator 55. Such a housing 60 is visible for example in Figures 5 to 7 and 9.
- This housing 60 may in particular be arranged in the space 50 arranged between the inner face of the lower housing 14 and the outer face of the lining 16.
- the applicator 55 here has the shape of a spoon, having a handle 56 that can be flat or ergonomic, at the end of which extends a flat or hollow portion 57 and arranged to take a dose of cosmetic product 5 in the cup 18.
- the spoon is also bent and has for example an angle greater than 90 ° between the hollow portion 57 and the handle 56, typically of the order of 120 °.
- the housing 60 in turn comprises a blade 62, resiliently mounted in the bottom 64 of the housing 60, so that in the rest position, the blade 62 moves away from the bottom 64 of the housing 60.
- the bottom 64 is substantially parallel to a side wall of the lower casing 14.
- the insertion of the applicator 55 can be facilitated by the implementation of a curved surface 66 at the bottom of the housing 60, adapted to the bent shape of the applicator 55.
- the upper face 68 of the housing can example be complementary to the outer face of the liner 16 and fixed thereto, for example by interlocking, gluing, etc.
- This embodiment is particularly suitable for pots with a hinged lid 20 on the base 10, and is not limited to the implementation of sealing means with cushion, but can be adapted to any pot having a space able to receive housing 60.
