Description
- The present invention is concerned with a machine for the production of packages of powder cosmetic products.
- Current packages of powder cosmetic products include a rigid case equipped with one or more shaped cavities to receive the respective cosmetic powders previously introduced and pressed in small boxes or bases made of metal or plastic, for example as disclosed in US-A-1 757 370.
- These packages have a drawback in that the packaging operation has to be carried out in two steps, first the introduction and pressing of the powders in their respective small boxes and secondly the transfer of the small boxes full of powder to the respective cavities or hollow spaces of the case.
- This implies a manufacturing process which is comparatively long and laborious and the necessity of storing a certain quantity of small cases before and after their filling. Moreover the final aesthetic presentation is not ideal because the edges of the small boxes are inevitably visible between the walls of the case's cavities and the pressed powders. Lastly the use of small metal boxes, far more widespread than the plastic ones, constitutes a limitation of the variety of figures which can be obtained with the cosmetic products.
- In view of this state of the art, the object of the present invention is to realize a machine to allow the production of powder cosmetic product packages without the above drawbacks.
- According to the invention said object has been achieved with a machine as defined in the claim.
- In this way the manufacturing process is faster, since the step wherein the transfer of the filled boxes from the filling machine to the case is saved. Any storage need is eliminated and the cost of the package itself is lower thanks to the absence of the small box and its corresponding processing. The final aesthetic appearance is much better and the variety of the figures which can be accomplished is substantially increased.
- An embodiment of the present invention is illustrated, as a non-limiting example, in the enclosed drawings, in which:
- Fig. 1 shows a top plan of a portion of a multi-cavity case, ready to receive cosmetic powders according to the present invention;
- Fig. 2 shows the same case in a cross-section along the line II-II of Fig. 1, positioned in a filling and pressing machine according to the present invention;
- Fig.s 3 to 7 show a succession of operating steps of the machine of Fig. 2;
- Fig. 8 shows a top plan of the package of cosmetic products at the end of the filling and pressing step carried out by the machine of Fig. 2.
- Fig. 1 shows a portion of the part of the
base 1 of a rigid case, whose lid has been removed for greater clarity of the drawing. - Said part of the base is equipped with a plurality of
shaped cavities 2 for receiving the respective cosmetic powders and with a furtherelongated cavity 3 to receive a small brush to be used in taking out the powders. - In Fig. 2 the above part of the base of the case is shown inserted into a filling and pressing
machine 4 according to the invention, which includes in general amobile frame 5, means for feeding thecosmetic powders 6 and slidablepressing pistons 7. - The
mobile frame 5 has a peripheral outline which coincides substantially with that of the group ofcavities 2 of thecase 1 and is divided into as many parallelvertical compartments 8 as there are cavities as above, eachcompartment 8 having the same section and arrangement of acorresponding cavity 2 so that it can be placed over it as if it were an upward continuation of it. To this end the lower extremities of the surrounding and dividingwalls 9 of the different compartments haveshapes 10 which can be combined with the upper extremities of the corresponding surrounding and dividingwalls 11 of thecavities 2 of the case. - Each
compartment 8 of themobile frame 5 is associated with acorresponding means 6 for supplying cosmetic powder consisting of ahopper 12 and ascrew feeder 13 passing through anopening 14 of thecorresponding wall 9 of theframe 5. Theopening 14 has a height such that it permits the vertical movement of theframe 5 without it being necessary to withdraw thescrew feeder 13. - Inside each
compartment 8 of themobile frame 5 there is a respectivepressing piston 7 housed in a slidable way, whose cross-section is identical with that of therespective compartment 8 and therefore with theunderlying cavity 2 of thecase 1. The variouspressing pistons 7 have theirrespective stems 15 which are integral with one another (as are the pistons 7) by means of acommon plate 16 equipped with an appropriate operating means 17. - The machine also comprises a further pressing piston 18 (Fig. 6), which is equipped with a
pressing face 19 with a shape that is complementary to that of thecavity group 2 of thecase 1 and is in particular equipped withgrooves 20 for receiving the upper extremity of the case's dividingwalls 9. - In Fig. 1 the machine according to the invention is shown in its position at rest, with the
frame 5 raised with respect to thecase 1, which is still empty. - As shown in Fig. 3, the first operating step consists in lowering the
frame 5 so that itswalls 9 are up against the cases'sunderlying walls 11. - By operating the
screw feeders 13 predetermined amounts (either the same or different from one another) ofcosmetic powders 21 are fed to thevarious compartments 8 of themobile frame 5 and from here to therespective cavities 2 of the case (Fig. 4). - At this point the
pressing pistons 7 are lowered to effect a partial pressing of the powders in thedifferent cavities 2, so that the powders themselves are sufficiently compacted to continue the process (Fig. 5). - In the subsequent step the
frame 5 is removed and the pressing piston 18 (Fig. 6) is positioned above thecase 1, to be lowered (or the case may be raised) so that the powders which have been previously introduced and partially pressed in the cavity 2 (Fig. 7) may now be fully compacted, in a uniform way. - When the process is terminated the
case 1 is as illustrated in Fig. 8, that is with thecosmetic powders 21 well pressed in thecavities 2, which act as direct containers for the powders themselves. - Finally a
small brush 22 for taking out the powders is introduced intocavity 3. - Note that the shape of the
case 1 and the number and shape of the cavities are purely indicative. With the process as described and with a machine equipped withframe 5 and with appropriately shapedpressing pistons 7 it is actually possible to prepare packages of any other shape, given the principle that the powders are directly introduced and pressed into the case's different cavities.
